Chapter 3 Preparation (QB30-SU)

Using the scanner via the USB interface requires a host computer equipped with a USB port. The operating environment
differs depending upon whether you use the USB-COM interface or USB keyboard interface as listed below.

USB-COM interface:

To use this interface, you need to install the dedicated Active USB-COM port driver (virtual COM port driver) to the host
computer. This interface allows you to use the scanner in applications using the conventional serial port. For instructions on
how to set up the driver, refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.2.1. For the interface specifications, refer to Chapter 12, Section 12.2.

This interface is selected by default.

USB keyboard interface:

No dedicated USB device driver is required. Via this interface, data scanned by the scanner can be entered to the cursor
position in your application. For instructions on how to set up the driver, refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.2.2. For the interface
specifications, refer to Chapter 12, Section 12.3.

You can switch between the USB-COM interface and USB keyboard interface by using the QR-coded parameter menu
(provided in Chapter 12) or the configuration software (QB Setting)*.

To use the USB-COM interface
(factory default):

To use the USB keyboard interface:

The scanner receives and sends data from/to the host computer through the USB-COM interface or USB keyboard interface.
You need to set up the device driver designed for the interface to be used.

USB connector

Scanner

USB interface cable

Notes for connecting the USB interface cable

 To use the USB-COM interface, you need to install the serial port driver to the host computer before connection of the USB

interface cable.

 When plugging and unplugging the USB connector, put an interval of at least 10 seconds between those actions since

Windows may take several to 10 seconds to add or delete the USB device.

 Hot plugging/unplugging is allowed for USB devices. However, do not plug or unplug the USB connector when:

- The computer is on standby (in suspend mode) or

- The COM port is open with the USB-COM interface being used. (Hot plugging/unplugging under this condition will lose
data.)

 When the host computer is processing the scanner connection, do not plug or unplug any other USB device cables.

 Directly connect the scanner to the USB port on the host computer or to the self-powered hub. The scanner may not be

connected to some types of hubs. If the operation of the hub-connected scanner is unstable, connect it directly to any USB
port on the host computer.

 Do not use any extension cord.

Do not use the power management functions of the computer.

This device does not support power management functions such as “Standby”, “Sleep”, “Resume” and “Hibernation”.

Cancel the setting of those power management functions before setting up the device.

When suspend status is cancelled while the software for communication on the computer is open, occasionally computers
are unable to communicate.

In that case, please terminate the software and restart the computer.

4.2.1 Setting up the USB-COM interface

Using the USB-COM interface requires installing the Active USB-COM port driver provided by DENSO WAVE to the host
computer. The driver does not come with the scanner in a CD-ROM. It can be downloaded for free from our website at:

http://www.qbdirect.net

The file downloaded contains the Active USB-COM port driver and uninstaller which are compressed. It is a self-extracting
file. Store the file into a folder and then double-click its icon to extract it.

Notes for installing and using the Active USB-COM port driver

 The driver should be installed with administrative permission (Administrator Login).

 The driver does not contain a Microsoft digital signature. Therefore, do not block installation of drivers containing no

signature with the driver's signature option or local policy's security option.

 The driver allows hot plugging or unplugging of a USB device even during communication (when the COM port is being

opened); however, the communications data when the USB device is disconnected will be lost.

 The driver always serves as a virtual serial port even if a USB device is unplugged, so the driver always occupies a COM

port number.

 The driver cannot coexist with conventional Denso USB-COM device drivers in a host computer. In the installation

procedure, the Active USB-COM port driver requires uninstalling the conventional ones.

 Installing the driver on a single host computer more than one time enables more than one USB device to be used. However,

the uninstaller of the Active USB-COM port driver uninstalls previously installed drivers, not individually but all at once.

Installation procedure

Follow the procedure shown below to install the Active USB-COM port driver.

The driver installation procedure consists of two processes: installation of the serial port driver to be performed before
connection of the USB device (scanner) and installation of the USB driver to be performed following connection of the USB
device.

The driver installation procedure is required every time a USB device is to be connected to a difference USB port.

To use a new USB port for which the driver has not been installed, be sure to perform the driver installation procedure.

Installing the serial port driver before connection of the USB device

[Windows XP]

Chapter 5 Scanning Codes

Bring the QR Code to the scanning window of the scanner as shown below.

The scanner reads the QR Code, outputs the code data read, sounds the beeper, and turns the READ LED blue.

Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• The scanner supports the double-read prevention function that prevents the scanner from reading in the same code more than
once in succession even if you keep applying a code to the scanning window. To read the same code again after successful
read, therefore, pull the mobile away from the scanning window for at least half a second to release the double-read
prevention function.

Note that if you keep applying a low-quality code that cannot be read within half a second to the scanning window, the

scanner may double-read the code at intervals of half a second or longer.

• The double-read prevention timeout can be specified with the configuration software (QB Setting) and commands..

• The scanner can read codes omnidirectionally. Note that a target code plus its margin should lie within the scan range.

Chapter 6 Setting the parameters

You can customize the scanner by modifying communications, code type, and other scanner parameters with the commands,
the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software QB Setting*. These parameters retain their settings even when the
power is off. The settings are not retained without sending SAVE command when you modify the parameters with the
commands.

(1) Scanning parameter setting QR Codes (QR-Coded parameter menu) by pressing the trigger switch.

(The QR-coded parameter menu is given in Chapter 17.)

(2) Using the configuration software (QB Setting) in your computer.

The configuration software is available via the RS-232C interface or USB-COM interface; it is not via the USB keyboard

interface.

The configuration software also offers batch-process QR code symbols for read by scanners in the field. Those symbols

printed can be scanned by the scanner via any of the RS-232C interface, USB-COM interface and USB keyboard interface.

Note: Configuration software (QB Setting) is unable to use when USB keyboard interface is selected.

(3) Using the command in your computer.

Operation setting is configured when you send the commands to the QB30 by communication from external devices such as a
computer.

* Registered users can download the configuration software (QB Setting)

from QBdirect, their customer support section on

the Denso Wave website at no extra charge.

Chapter 7 Reading mode

The scanner is equipped with continuous scan mode capable of automatically scanning scan codes, and trigger modes used to
control scanning with external trigger signal and commands. These modes can be selected using the commands, QR Coded
parameter menu or configuration software (QB Setting).

1) Continuous reading mode

• Continuous reading mode A (Settable to QB30-SR only)

Scanning is performed repeatedly while the trigger signal is ON, and data is transferred to the host computer when scanning is
complete. Test scanning is performed repeatedly while the code is within the scanner field of view. Codes may continue to be
scanned alternately if two or more codes enter the scanner field of view.

• Continuous reading mode B

Scanning is performed repeatedly regardless of the trigger signal condition, and data is transferred to the host computer when
scanning is complete. Test scanning is performed repeatedly while the code is within the scanner field of view.

Codes may continue to be scanned alternately if two or more codes enter the scanner field of view.

• Auto sense mode

If the scanner detects an object within the scanning field of view, it enters the Active state, where it performs scanning. When
approximately 3 seconds has elapsed after scanning is complete, or if scanning is not complete approximately 3 seconds after
the scanner entered the Active state, the scanner turns off the illumination LED and enters the Code detecting state. Code
detection level can be selected from “High”, “Medium” and “Low”.
Since the scanner starts to scan when an object is detected within the scanning field of view, if the code symbol is left as is
inside the scanning field of view after scanning is complete, the scanning operation may be repeated.

Note1) If object cannot be detected due to low illumination, etc., the scanner will not enter the Active state. (Ambient
illumination of 500lx or more is necessary)

Note2) There may be times when the unit switches between the Active state and Ready state due to fluctuations in the ambient
lighting.

Scanning is performed repeatedly regardless of the trigger signal condition, and data is transferred to the host computer when
scanning is complete. Test scanning is performed repeatedly while the code is within the scanner field of view. Codes may
continue to be scanned alternately if two or more codes enter the scanner field of view.

2) Trigger scanning mode

Direct trigger mode (Settable to QB30-SR only)
Scanning starts when the trigger signal input delay time has elapsed after the trigger signal was turned ON, and continues
scanning as long as the trigger signal remains ON.

Indirect trigger mode (Settable to QB30-SR only)
Scanning starts when the trigger signal input delay time has elapsed after the trigger signal was turned ON, and continues
scanning for the indirect one-shot duration.

Direct software trigger mode
Scanning starts by the start command and ends by the scanning completion command.

Indirect software trigger mode
Scanning starts by the start command and ends by the scanning completion command. Scanning is performed at this time for
the one-shot duration in direct software trigger mode.

The time of period in which scanning is enabled is called ''Scan timing". Exposure starts at the beginning of the scan timing,
and data, if correctly scanned, is transmitted to the host before scanning is terminated. Such exposure is repeatedly attempted
until the code is correctly scanned for each scan timing. If the scan timing is terminated while the code is incorrectly scanned,
non-scan codes can be transmitted to the host. Whether non-scan codes are output and characters to be transmitted can be set
using the command or configuration software. Non-scan codes are represented as "ERROR" by default.

Chapter 8 Scanning Functions

8.1 Data Verification Mode

The data verification mode verifies the code data read against the master data stored in the scanner and reports the match status
with data output.

8.1.1 Scan entry mode

Scan a code and set the content as the verification master. The scanner enters master data registration mode after the magic key
is pressed for two seconds or the master registration command is sent with the permission of scan entry verification by
configuration software (QB Setting) or commands, and the first scanned code is used as master data. Only one master data can
be registered, the position of the verification digit can be specified. The output format for the verification result can be
selected , with the position of the verification digit and verification result output format being set using the commands or
configuration software(QB Setting). Verification are made on 1:n basis , with the maximum number of comparable data digits
being 255.

8.1.1.3 Verification digit position designation

This is set using the commands or configuration software.. All digits will be compared if no verification digit position is
designated. Only the designated digit position is compared if a verification digit position is designated, and the verification
master and number of digits (data length) in the scanned code data are ignored.
Example in which verification digit position designation is used.

Verification master data (10 digits) ：0034500000
Scanned code data (11 digits) ：12345000000
Verification digit position setting：3rd to 5th digit
verifiedVerification result output：OK

8.1.1.4 Verification result output

This is set using the commands or configuration software.. The verification result output format can be selected from the
following four patterns. “NO MASTER” is output if scanned when the master data is not registered.

When Verification Successful When Verification Unsuccessful

Pattern 1 “OK” “NG”

8.1.2 File entry mode

First, save the verification master data. Up to 50 verification master can be registered. the position of the verification digit can
be designated. the output format for the verification result can be selected, with the position of the verification digit and
verification result output being set using the commands or configuration software(QB Setting). Verification can be made on a
1:n basis for a single master, and on an n:n basis if multiple masters are designated. The maximum number of comparable data
digit is 255.

8.1.2.2 Verification master data designation

This is set using the commands, or configuration software (QB Setting). Commands used for verification master
designation are as follows.

Command Details

MEM#nn

Verification master designation command
nn = 00: No verification master designation (all masters and n:n verification)
nn = 01 - 50: Master no. nn verification master and 1:n verification

8.1.2.3 Verification digit position designation

This is set using the commands, menu, or configuration software (QB Setting). All digits will be compared if no verification
digit position is designated. Only the designated digit position is compared if a verification digit position is designated, and the
verification master and number of digits (data length) in the scanned code data are ignored. Unlike Scan entry mode, however,
the verification master is always used to perform a verification from the first digit. If the number of digits in the verification
master is fewer than the number of digits being compared, it is treated as an unregistered condition. If the number of digits in
the verification master is the same or greater than the number of digits being compared, the excess data is ignored.

[Example in which verification digit position designation is used]
Verification master data (4 digits): 3456
Scanned code data (11 digits): 12345678901
Verification digit pos. setting: 3rd to 6th digit compared. (Verified digit qty: 4)

Pattern 1 “OKnn” “NGnn”
Pattern 2 “OKnn” + <data> “NGnn”
Pattern 3 “OKnn” “NGnn” + <data>
Pattern 4 “OKnn” + <data> “NGnn” + <data>

“nn” will be the designated verification master number if a verification master has been designated. If no verification master
has been designated and a verification is made using all masters, the successful master number will be the designated
verification master number when verification is successful, and “00” when verification is unsuccessful.

(Note) 1.Multi-line barcode scanning with the data verification mode

Master data registration

 To register a multi-line barcode as a master code, each code mark in each row shall be matched for the success

of master data registration.
The definition of code marks complies with Type 1(DENSO1) described in section 12-4.

 If a multi-line barcode is registered as a master code, the concatenated data is registered by the master data in the

same order as the scanning of code data.

Scan data verification

 To scan a multi-line barcode, all the code marks in respective rows shall be matched for a successful scanning. If

this is not satisfied, it is regarded as data mismatching irrespective of the type of scanned data.
The definition of code marks complies with Type 1(DENSO1) described in section 12-4.

(Note) 2.A QR structured append code and an iQR structured append code scanning with the data verification mode

Master data registration

In registering a structured append code as a master code, the scan data is registered in the master code after all the
divided codes are scanned with the Edit mode and Batch edit mode, while in the Unedited mode the data is registered
each time a symbol block is scanned. In this case, the code block number, the total number of code blocks and the parity
data are not registered as master data.

Scan data verification

If the scan code is a QR structured append code, the scanned data is compared against the master data after scanning
of all divided codes is complete when in Edit mode or Batch edit mode. When in the Unedited mode, however, scan data
for each divided code is compared against the master code.

23

8.2 Editing Data

You can edit and output code data read, in any of the four data edit modes--"data extraction mode," "data substitution mode,"
"data blocksorting mode" and "ADF script mode." These data edit modes can be selected with the configuration software (QB
Setting). The default is "No editing."

Note: In the case of multi-line bar codes, unless all code ID marks read are matched, the data editing processing will result in

an error regardless of whether or not the data read contains any error. Whether the code ID mark is matched is determined not
by the combination of code ID marks but by Type 1 only (refer to Chapter 12, Section 12.4).

Note: In the case of split QR Code, the scanner in edit mode or batch edit mode performs data editing processing upon

completion of scanning of all split code symbols; in non-edit mode, it performs each time a single split code symbol is read.

8.2.1 Data extraction mode

This mode offers three extraction choices--"data string," "data block" and "AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed string"
extractions from code data read and then outputs it.

The "data block" extraction is available only when code data is in the comma-delimited CSV format. The "AI-prefixed string"
extraction is available for GS1-128 (EAN-128), GS1 DataBar (RSS), and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (excluding linear
components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol).

8.2.1.1 Extracting a data string

The scanner extracts a data string specified by the "Extraction start position" and "Extraction end position" from a code
specified by the "Code type" and then outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 9, Section

9.4). The extraction conditions and extraction start and end positions are listed below.

8.2.1.3 Extracting AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed strings

If the scanner reads any of EAN-128 (GS1-128), GS1 DataBar (RSS), and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (excluding linear
components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol), it edits the data according to AIs and outputs it in the data transmission
format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 12, Section 12.4).

The "AI-prefixed string" extraction is available in two modes--AI-delimited mode and AI parenthesizing mode. AIs to be used
for data editing are listed in (3) AI table

later.

(1) AI-delimited model

In this mode, the scanner extracts strings prefixed with AIs specified (up to three types of AIs) and separates them with the
specified delimiters (selectable from headers/terminators, commas and tabs) instead of AIs to output them.

 Extraction conditions

Extraction conditions Choices

"Data transfer regardless of error result" Permit/Prohibit

If the scanner fails to extract an AI-prefixed string when the "Data transfer regardless of error result" is permitted, it outputs
the data read as is without editing.

 Delimiters
Delimiters can be any of the following three--header/terminator, comma and tab.

  Header/terminator
Specifying a header/terminator as delimiters prefixes a header and suffixes a terminator to each element string separated.
A scanner ID, code ID mark, the number of digits, prefix, and suffix can be also added to each element string if their

transmissions are enabled. The number of digits is the count of each element string edited.
Example

Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810

  Comma
Specifying a comma as delimiters outputs comma-delimited data. No comma follows the tail of the data.
A header and terminator are added to the full string. None of a scanner ID, code ID mark, the number of digits, prefix, and

suffix is added even if their transmissions are enabled.
Example

Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810

8.2.2 Data substitution mode

If the scanner reads a code specified by the "Code type" in this mode, it searches the data read for the specified string (max. 16
ASCII characters), substitutes it with the specified substitution string (max. 16 ASCII characters), and outputs it in the data
transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 12, Section 12.4).

The scanner splits code data read into a maximum of 5 blocks at the specified split positions, sorts those blocks in the specified
order, and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter12, Section 12.4).

Note: The split position must be specified by the number of digits from the head of code data read. Specifying the number of

digits exceeding that in the code data results in an error.

8.2.4 ADF script mode

The ADF script refers to a simple program language designed for editing of data read. It enables the following functions.

(1) Extracting data that is fixed or variable in length
(2) Supporting Application Identifiers (AIs) in GS1-128 (EAN-128), GS1 DataBar (RSS) and EAN.UCC Composite symbols
(3) Sorting data blocks into the specified order
(4) Collating data for verification
(5) Outputting same data repeatedly
(6) Performing four arithmetic operations including residue calculation, e.g., transformation of units
(7) Substituting data
(8) Comparing character strings
(9) Driving indicator LED and beeper

The ADF script mode can be programmed with the configuration software (QB Setting). To configure the scanner with the
ADF script, transfer the script to the scanner or generate an ADF script QR code symbol with the configuration software (QB
Setting) and use the scanner to read the symbol.

For the specifications and instructions for use of the ADF script, refer to the ADF Script User's Guide.

Note: The ADF script mode cannot be used together with any of other edit modes (data extraction mode, data substitution

mode, and data blocksorting mode).

37

8.3 Scanning a Mirror Image 2D Code

If you enable the mirror image scanning with the configuration software (QB Setting), the scanner can scan a mirror image 2D
code as well as a normal image. Note that when the mirror image scanning is enabled, the time required for scanning may
increase.

8.4 Scanning a Black-and-white Inverted Code

The scanner usually scans a black-and-white normal code (black cells/bars on a white background). You can switch the
scanner to scan a black-and-white inverted code (white cells/bars on a black background) or to scan both types of codes while
automatically identifying them, using the commands, the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (QB
Setting).

Note that the automatic detection scanning may take more time than normal code or inverted code scanning.
A black-and-white inverted code requires a black quiet zone of more than the number of cells defined in the code

specifications.

8.5 Decode Time Setting

The decode time can be set at the QB30.The decoding time can be set between 0.05 second to 9.99 seconds, and decoding is
repeated during scannable intervals with the set decode time as the upper limit. If scanning is not completed during decode
time, scanners decode again. Decade time can be set with commands/QR Code menu and configuration software (QB Setting).

(2) Decode time
“Decode time” differs from “the time of period (Scan timing)”. For example, scanning timing is set to one second (external

trigger is ON for one second) and decode time is set to 0.3 seconds, the scanner decodes approx. three times during each
scanning timing. (However, decoding is terminated when successful) Decode is repeated for every 0.3 seconds for the
continuous reading mode.

8.6 Bar code Reader Mode

Scannable area of lengthwise direction at the Barcode Reader Mode is limited to the central part of 15% as shown in the
illustration and the skew angle  is 6°≧θ≧-6. Therefore, the barcode scanning time of the bar code reader mode is shorter
than that of the original reader mode. However, 2D Code, Multi-line barcode, RSS stack code and EAN, UCC COMPOSIT
can not be read even if they are permitted for reading. Neither QR Code menu nor configuration software(QB Setting )can be
used when bar code reader mode is set, during which USB keyboard interface is being used. In that case bar code reader mode
can be cancelled temporally with approx. 2 seconds of holding down the magic key. (see Chapter 9, Section 9.4).

8.7 Scanning Structured Append QR (iQR) Code Symbols

QR Code symbology can split data into a maximum of 16 blocks and encode each of them into structured append Code
symbol (model 1 or 2). Structured append code scanning is possible only with the same QR Code model.

The scanner can scan structured append symbols and restore them to the original data string in edit mode, batch edit mode, and
non-edit mode, which you can select using the command, the QR-coded parameter menu or configuration software (QR
Setting).

Edit mode

The scanner accumulates and edits split QR Code symbols read and then sends the edited data to the host computer. If the total
data volume of split QR Code symbols exceeds 8 kilobytes, a read error will result and the accumulated data will be discarded.

Batch edit mode

If all the split QR Code symbols to be scanned lie within the readable area, the scanner reads them all once and then edits and
sends them to the host computer.

Non-edit mode

Each time a single split QR Code symbol is read, the scanner sends the data read to the host computer.

When scanning structured append QR Code symbols, the scanner beeps in a different way from usual. That is, when the
scanner reads the first structured append code, it beeps twice and enters the split code scanning mode. When the scanner
completes the sequence of structured append code scanning, it beeps three times.

Note: If you scan any non-structured append QR Code symbol or a code other than a QR Code symbol midway through a

sequence of structured append QR Code scanning, the scanner cancels the structured append code scanning, discards the
structured append QR Code data already scanned, and sends the code scanned last.

Note: If the scanner switches to standby in auto-off mode (after approx. 5 seconds of holding down the trigger switch or by

releasing the trigger switch within 5 seconds) or the split code scanning interval exceeds approx. 3 seconds in any trigger
switch operating mode except auto-off mode, then the scanner discards the data scanned and cancels the structured append
code scanning sequence.

Note: If you scan a structured append code symbol of any other QR Code before completion of the current scanning

sequence, the scanner discards the data already scanned and starts a new scanning sequence.

39

8.8 Multi-line Barcode Scanning

The scanner can scan up to 3 lines of bar codes in the readable area at any one time. You can specify the number of lines to be
scanned, the data output order and output format using the configuration software (QB Setting).*

8.8.1 Number of lines

The number of lines allowed for multi-line barcode scanning is 2 or 3. This setting is essential.

8.8.2 Data output order

You can specify the data output order by designating code types*1, heading characters*2, or the number of digits to be
scanned*

3

.

*

1

Code types should be selected from readable bar codes you enable. This setting is essential.

*

2

Up to two heading characters can be specified. If a question mark (?) is specified, it acts as a wild card. This setting can be

omitted.

*

3

The number of digits to be scanned varies depending upon the code type. This setting is essential.

8.8.3 Output format

You can select either the header/terminator- or comma-delimited output format.

(1) Header/terminator-delimited output format

Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data in succession in the data transmission format
selected (see Section 12.4) so that the headers and terminators act as delimiters. For UPC and EAN codes, the number of digits
will be omitted.

(2) Comma-delimited output format

Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data delimited with commas in the data
transmission format selected (see Section 12.4). Note that the scanner outputs the code ID mark specified for the first line
barcode and the number of digits including the delimiter commas. The number of digits will not be omitted even for UPC and
EAN codes.

Note 1: Bar code types specified for multi-line barcode scanning cannot be read individually.
Note 2: The scanner cannot read multi-line barcodes of UPC/EAN with add-on.
Note 3: If linear components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol are specified for multi-line barcode scanning, EAN.UCC

Composite symbols including the specified linear components cannot be read.

8.9 Scanning an SQRC (Security QR Code) Symbol

An SQRC symbol refers to a security QR Code symbol that consists of public and nonpublic data. The nonpublic data can be
read only when the encryption key configured in the scanner matches the one in the SQRC symbol.

To read an SQRC symbol with the scanner, it is necessary to enable SQRC scanning ("SQRC symbols only" or "both SQRC
symbols and QR Code symbols") using the configuration software (QB Setting). The following SQRC related parameters can
be also specified--"Data transmission after mismatch of encryption key," "Management of encryption key," and "Data
transmission of nonpublic data."

Note: SQRC scanning requires configuring an encryption key beforehand with the SQRC configuration software (SQRC

Setting) separately prepared.

40

Chapter 9 Beeper, Indicator LED, Illumination LEDs, and Magic key

9.1 Beeper

(1) Beeping

The scanner emits a short or long beeps, once or a couple of times as described below.

The beeper emits a short beep when:

- the scanner has read a code successfully,

- code data read matches the master data in the data verification mode,

- the scanner has read a split QR Code symbol,

- the "Start setting" or "End setting" code is read (3 beeps) or the parameter setting QR Code symbols are read (1 beep) from

the QR-coded parameter menu (given in Chapter 17),

- the configuration software (QB Setting) starts up or accepts new settings (3 beeps), or

- the scanner has read a batch-process QR Code symbol generated with the configuration software (QB Setting) (3 beeps).

The beeper emits a long beep when:

- code data read does not match the master data in the data verification mode,

- the scanner has read split QR Code symbols in edit mode and the accumulated data exceeds 8 kilobytes,

- a master code has the wrong number of digits during registration of master data,

- a code other than a parameter setting code is read during parameter setting by the QR-coded parameter menu,

- a transmission error or timeout occurred when the scanner was communicating with the configuration software (QB Setting),

- the encryption key of data read does not match the one configured in the scanner in SQRC scanning (when the "data

transmission after mismatch of encryption key" is disabled),

- a communications error has occurred, or

- an invalid control command is received.

When the scanner is turned on, the configuration software (QB Setting) provides a choice of beeper ON/OFF (default: ON),
but does not provide a choice of beeper tone.

You can disable the beeper using the QR-coded parameter menu or configuration software (QB Setting). In any of the
following cases, however, the beeper sounds regardless of that beeper setting:

- when you make settings by scanning the QR-coded parameter menu,

- when the scanner receives a beeper-ON command from the host computer,

- when the configuration software (QB Setting) starts up or any setting you have made is established,

- when the scanner reads a batch-process QR Code symbol,

- when the execution error occurs at ADF script,

- when the power is on,

- when the scanner receives the start command of the control command and quit command.

- when registration of master data of data verification scanning is completed

- when the beeper of scanning completion during scanning test is set at the QR Code menu (chapter 17)

41

(2) Adjusting the beeper volume

You can adjust the beeper volume to three levels--high, medium and low--using the QR-coded parameter menu or
configuration software (QB Setting). The factory default is High.

Each time the "Beeper volume" QR Code symbol is read, the beeper volume cycles as shown below.

LowMedium

High

Ev

en if the scanner is turned off, this setting will be retained.

The beeper volume is set to “High” when shipped.

The illumination LEDs provide the three choices--Always ON, Automatic, Always OFF by using the command and
configuration software (QB Setting).

For QB30-SU, illumination light (LED) turns off when beeper is beeping even if Always-Turn ON is set.

9.4 Magic key

The following magic key functions, or no function, can be selected according to need, by the configuration software.

(1) No function

No function is assigned to magic key: No operation is changed by pressing magic key.

(2) Ready/standby switching function
Each time the magic key is pressed, the scanner mode is switched between Standby mode and Active state.
This function is effective when the trigger switch is set to Continuous reading mode B.

The following functions can be operated regardless of magic key mode shown above

1) Master code registration
When the data verification mode enters into the scan entry mode,the magic key is held down for approximaately 2
seconds and indicator LED lights in green in the master code registration mode. Scan a code in this state and set the
content as master code. The registered masster code is turned off when the power if off.

2) ADF script cancellation
When running a script that enables an operation to continue endlessly with an ADF script, the scanner is unable to
perform reading. In this case, push down the magic key for approximately 2 seconds to forcibly complete execution of
the ADF script.

3) Temporary cancellation of the barcode reader mode (QB30-SU only)
The QR Code menus and setting software (QB Setting) can not be operated when the USB keyboard Interface and the
barcode reading mode are selected simultaneously. In this situation the barcode reading mode can be cancelled during
which the magic key is pressed in approxilamtely for two seconds with the temporary cancellation function of the
barcode reader mode.
The cancellation is ineffective when the parameter setting is performed using the QR Code menus or the configuration
software.

4) Swithcing the interface mode (QB30-SU only)
When the power is on while pressing the magic key, Interface mode can be switched to USB kyeboard interface if
USB-COM Interface is set ,and vice versa. The confirmation LED turns in blue if the change of the USB-COM
interface is completed, and the confirmation LED turns in green if the change of the USB key board interface is
completed. (See Chapter 9,Section 9.2)

If the power is turned off, the Interface condition will be retained.
USB-COM Interface is set when shipped.

45

Chapter 10 LUMINOSITY SETTING

The luminosity setting is composed of the shutter time and the sensor’s gain (hereafter gain) settings.

(1) Auto mode

The scanner calculates the shutter time and gain automatically.

(2) Fixed shutter time, Auto gain mode

The shutter time is set with a fixed value, and the gain is calculated automatically.

The shutter time can be set at 0.1ms intervals from 0.1ms – 9.9ms.

The shutter time is set using the commands or the configuration software(QB Setting).

(3) Fixed shutter time, fixed gain mode

The shutter time and gain are set with fixed value.

The gain is set from 0 – 15. 0 is the darkest and bigger value is brighter.

The gain is set with the commands or the configuration software (QB Setting).

46

Chapter 11 External Input/Output (QB30-SR only)

11.1 External Trigger Terminal

The scanner can start and end scanning using the trigger signal input by the external trigger terminal.

11.2 External Reset Terminal

The scanner can reset using the reset signal input by the external reset terminal.

11.3 External Terminal

The scanner is capable of outputting the following 6 types of signals. Each signal can be assigned to an output terminal 1
or output terminal 2. (However, SHT signals can only be assigned to an output terminal 2.) Output signals can be set using
the commands or configuration software.

(1) OK signal

This signal is output by turning the OUTPUT Tr (transistor) ON at a specific timing to indicate the successful

completion of scanning. Note 1

(2) NG signal

This signal is output by turning the OUTPUT Tr (transistor) ON at a specific timing to indicate that scanning has been

unsuccessful. Note 1

(3) SHT signal (External light sync signal)

This signal is used for lighting ON/OFF control when using external lighting. , and can be used to turn ON the lighting

only for the scanner exposure time.

(4) Verification OK signal

When using the verification function, this signal is output by turning the OUTPUT Tr (transistor) ON at a specific

timing to indicate the successful completion of scanning. Note 1

(5) Verification NG signal

When using the verification function, this signal is output by turning the OUTPUT Tr (transistor) ON at a specific

timing to indicate that scanning has been unsuccessful. Note 1

(6) READY signal

This signal is output by turning the OUTPUT Tr (Transistor) ON at a specific timing to indicate that the scanner is in a
ready condition. The trigger signal or trigger command is ignored when the scanner is not in a ready mode. Ready
conditions refer to the following conditions.

・ When not in the scan timing (including data transmission) condition
・ When not in setting mode using commands
・ When not in the master data registration condition in the data verification mode
・ When not connecting with configuration software

The ready signal is constantly OFF when the following trigger modes are applied:

・ Continuous reading mode A
・ Continuous reading mode B
・ Luminosity setting of auto sense mode consists of shutter time and sensor gain (Referred to as Gain).

The selection of the OK, NG, SHT, Verification NG and READY signal output enabled/disabled status, ON duration
width, and delay time from output timing can be set using the commands or configuration software.

(Note 1) The signal is not output while the scan test is operated.

47

(OK, NG, READY signal output timing example)

Refer to"4.1 External I/O Terminal Equivalent Circuit" for the output circuit specifications.

11.4 Data output Timing

11.6 SHT Signal (External Lighting Synchronous Output Signal)

The scanner output the SHT signal that synchronize to the exposure operation of the scanner from the output terminal 2

when the output terminal 2 is set in the SHT signal. Polar character of the SHT signal can be selected from the
following two types using the commands or configuration software.

Signal polarity During Exposure Except during exposure

Tr ON HIGH LOW

Tr OFF LOW HIGH

Note:

1. Some external lights which will take time for start-up, for example a halogen lamp, may not respond quickly or light up
properly. You are required to use a light, such as a LED, with a faster response.

2. The output terminal 2 output is a NPN open collector and power shall not be supplied from the terminal. Do not apply

power exceeding the specified voltage level to the output terminal 2. It may cause the scanner to break or malfunction.

49

Chapter 12 Communication

12.1 RS-232C Interface (QB30-SR)

With the RS-232C interface being selected, the scanner uses asynchronous data transmission and communicates with the host
computer or external equipment via the RS-232C. You can set various communications conditions using the command,
QR-coded parameter menu or configuration software (QB Setting). Code data read is transferred in the following format.

(1) Communications protocol

You can select either non-acknowledge mode or ACK/NAK mode.

Non-acknowledge mode (default)

If the CTS signal is at a high level (Enable transmission), the scanner transmits code data read.

Note: The configuration software (QB Setting) provides CTS timeout settings from 100 ms to 9.9 s in 100-ms increments and

two CTS signal control choices Yes and No.

ACK/NAK mode

If the CTS signal is at high level (Enable transmission), the scanner transmits code data read. After that, the scanner waits for
and then processes a response. If the response is an ACK, the scanner normally ends the transmission; if it is a NAK, the
scanner transmits the code data again.

Note: The command and configuration software (QB Setting) provide CTS timeout and ACK/NAK response settings each

from 100 ms to 9.9 s in 100-ms increments.

(2) RTS signal control protocol

You can select either the scanner ready mode or the data ready mode.

Scanner ready mode (default)

The RTS signal goes High and stays at a high level when the scanner is ready to communicate at power on. Make sure that the
RTS signal is at a high level when transmitting a command from the host to the scanner.

Data ready mode

The RTS signal goes High before the scanner transmits data to the host and goes Low after the data transmission is completed.

Commands can be transmitted from the host to the scanner regardless of the level of the RTS signal. However, there is a short
time when commands cannot be transmitted to the scanner after power has been turned on.

(3) Transmission speed

There are six transmission speeds available, ranging from 4800 bps to 115200 bps (default: 38400 bps).

(4) Characters

Characters that the scanner transfers are all ASCII codes. The frame format has the following parameters.

Data bits: 7 bits or 8 bits (default)
Parity: Odd, Even, or None (default)
Stop bits: 1 bit (default) or 2 bits

Note: When data contains binary data or 2-byte codes, selecting "7 bits" for the data bits transfers the 2-byte codes with the

most significant bits trimmed.

50

This scanner is compliant with USB 1.1 (Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 1.1).

12.2 USB-COM Interface

Installing the dedicated Active USB-COM port driver to the host computer allows the USB-COM interface to operate in
communications applications using the conventional serial port.

Note: Keyboard interface software (QR_kbif) is required to input scanned data transmitted from the scanner via USB-COM
interface into the application (Access, Excel, Internet Explorer and so on) directly. QR_kbif enables to pass the scanned data
to the application as if the converted data is input from the keyboard. The scanned data can be used at any applications with

key inputs. QR_kbif can be downloaded for free from our web site at QBdirect (member only, free).

http://www.qbdirect.net



Notes for use

• If you connect the scanner to your computer first time or have changed the COM port for the scanner or hub, then confirm
the COM port number on the Windows Device Manager or the like before use.

• If you want to use two or more communications processors (software) or scanners concurrently on your computer, be sure to
assign a unique COM port number to each of them.

• It is not necessary to make settings such as transmission speed, data bits, parity, and stop bits (which are required for
communications software using a conventional serial port) since the USB interface ignores those settings. The flow control
should be set to "Hardware (RTS/CTS)" or "None."

• The virtual COM port on the computer and the scanner are connected with each other as shown below.

12.5 GTIN Format Conversion

Enabling the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) format conversion allows UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, and Interleaved
2of5 (14-digit) data to output in the GTIN format. It also allows RSS (GS1 DataBar) and GS1-128(EAN-128) data in the
GTIN format to output in the EAN format (product code format).

Note: Under any of the following conditions, the GTIN format conversion is invalid.

- In scanning bar code types specified for multi-line barcode scanning

- In any of the data edit modes (data extraction mode, data substitution mode, data blocksorting mode, and ADF script mode)

(1) Conversion from UPC/EAN/Interleaved 2of5 (14-digit) to GTIN format

Conversion provides two choices--16- and 14-digit GTIN formats. The former adds the Application Identifier (AI) "01" and
Package Indicator PI as a prefix, and the latter, a PI only.

If the GTIN format conversion is enabled, however, the output formats available for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN8 do
not apply.

(Note1) The number of error corrections is displayed in codeword units. Resultantly, the number will not match the actual
number of data characters. This is valid only when scanning QR Code, SQRC, iQR Code and DataMatrix code.

(Note2) This is valid only when scanning QR Code, SQRC, iQR Code, DataMatrix and Aztec. With QR Code, SQRC and iQR
Code, the model, version, error correction level, and master number are displayed. With DataMatrix code, the number of
vertical cells, the number of horizontal cells, and error correction level are displayed. With Aztec, the model and layer are
displayed.

(Note3) The total number of decoded image is accumulated after test mode is commenced when in Continuous reading
mode/auto sense mode, and accumulated within each trigger when in Trigger mode.

(Note4) For the structured append code, all the decoded data are output as the non-edit mode. Code numbers, division numbers
and parity are added to the scanning data. The setting QR Code menus are scanned as the standard codes and the setting
performance is not performed.

(Note5) The scanning test function is disabled in the followings;

Chapter 14 Image Memory Function

The image memory function enables the scanner to store the captured image on a temporary basis.

The Images taken from the scanner can be confirmed on the configuration software (QB Setting) or transferred to the host
computers. Storing the non-scannable image enables to analyze the causes.

Note: When the power is off, the image is not stored. Be sure to upload the data to the host computers before turning the
power off.

 Number of images : 10
 Image type: : Gray image BMP images (256 gradations)
 Image upload protocol : X-modem (1K)
 Scannable Image

The images below can be captured at each of continuous mode and trigger mode.
*Image Capture mode (Continuous reading mode)

1. Save all captured images

2. Save all unsuccessful images

3. Save all successful images

*Image Capture mode (Trigger mode)

1. Save all images within a single trigger interval.

2. Save the first image within a single trigger interval.

3. Save the last image within a single trigger interval.

4. Save the first unsuccessful image within a single trigger interval.

5. Save the last unsuccessful image within a single trigger interval.

6. Save the last unsuccessful image within a single trigger interval when the scan is not successfully completed within a single
trigger interval.

*Image storage method

1) Write memory no. designation
Images are always overwritten to the specified memory.

2) Cyclic
Images are written to memory number #00 - #17 sequentially. The start memory cannot be specified. The image storage

memory automatically returns to #00 after #09.

(Notes)

1. When the scan is successfully completed in the trigger mode, no more images are captured, even if the last image is
designated to be saved in the trigger mode. In this case, the last scanned image is stored in the memory.

2. When captured image is stored in trigger mode, the scanning may be delayed due to ready condition maximum 10ms after
completion of scanning timing.

3. Transmission protocol of the images to the host system, etc. is X-modem (1K) regardless of the pre-set protocol.
(non-protocol or ACK/NAK mode).

4. Transmission takes abut 40 seconds at the transmission speed 115.2Kbps, but it depends on the performance of the host
system, etc.

5 The reading test can be executed.
