1. Getting
Started
About This Manual
This Users Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Godex GS550 area-imaging scanner. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Godex bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common termi­nal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, pro­gramming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps:
Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton.
Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
Connecting the Device
Connecting with USB
A scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer.
2. The scanner beeps.
1 - 2
3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.
The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 2-2 for other USB terminal settings.
Connecting with Keyboard Wedge
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a keyboard wedge,” where the scanner provides data output that is similar to keyboard entries. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the terminal/computer.
3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.
4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps
The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge inter­face with a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to bar code data.
once.

Reading Techniques
The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre­sponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam or pattern is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appro­priate distance from the target, press the button, and center the aiming beam or pattern on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., lami­nated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Godex scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Customer Support on page 11-1) for fur­ther information.
1 - 4
Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scannning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save
Custom Defaults bar code.
Set Custom Defaults
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.
Save Custom Defaults
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Acti­vate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar
code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default set­tings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom will
be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.
!
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default set­tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate
Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.

Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the following Key­board Style settings. Default = Regular.
2 - 11
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
* Regular
Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common
to U.S. ke yboards).
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off . This selection can only be used with systems that hav e an LED that notes the Caps Lock sta­tus (AT keyboards).
Shift Lock
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-
many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the Num­Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).
Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power
cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lower­case. So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections. Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for
Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-11). Otherwise, your output may not be as expected.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.
* Keyboard Conversion Off

Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-4. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of the chart).
Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.

Keyboard
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.
Control + ASCII Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All key­board country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 7-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it does not transmit any prefix or suffix information.
Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.

LED Good Read
The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Default = On.
* LED - Good Read On
Number of Beeps – Good Read
The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 1.
LED - Good Read Off
Number of Good Read Beeps/LED Flashes
Number of Beeps – Error
The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the scanner for a bad read or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For example, if you program this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED flashes in response to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 1.

If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
User-Specified Good Read Delay
Manual Trigger Mode
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the button is released. Default = Manual Trigger-Normal.
* Manual Trigger - Normal
3 - 6
Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-
20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting,
and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.
Presentation Centering
Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanners field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see
Centering (page
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scan­ning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.

Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanners button is pressed when using a hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further button presses) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 5,000 ms.
Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a sec­ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of same
bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required. Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode (see page 3-6). Default = Medium.

Scanner Time-Out
Scanner Time-Out powers down the scanner after the unit has been idle for the specified time. To prevent the scanner from powering down, set this time-out to 0, or no timer. Scan Scanner Time-Out, then set the time-out by scanning dig- its (from 0 - 999,999 ms) from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 1 ms.
Centering
Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation
Centering (page 3-6).
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and
Right of Centering Window bar codes.

4. Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break­down of a message string:
Prefix
1-11 alpha numeric & control
charact
Scanned Data
variable

Suffix

characters
Points to Keep In Mind
It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix = None.
A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.
You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies),
the specific
symbology
ID value counts as an added prefix
or suffix character.
The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3). Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the
4 - 2
symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the
back cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character. Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1. To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once
to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving. Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix. Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for U.P.C..
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the
manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single sym­bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char­acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
4 - 3
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol. Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the
back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.
To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies
Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then pro­grams a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

5. Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanners output. For exam­ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; how ev er when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the in
which formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information. If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.
* Default Data Format
order
Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2). Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format
5 - 2
you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page 5-8 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Note: If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35
for the Code I.D.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-4). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.
Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving
your changes.

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbolo­gies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid read­ing length, the scanner will issue an error tone. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

(Any applica­tion that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize one data carrier type.)
If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Chart on page A-1).
If GS1 DataBar Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-DataBar AIM ID, ]em (see Symbology Chart on page A-1).
If GS1 Code Expansion Off is scanned, retail code expansion is disabled, and UPC-E expansion is controlled by the UPC-E0 Expand (page 6-25) setting. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Chart on page A-1).
