Connecting the Scanner in Keyboard Wedge Mode

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data term in al in non decoded output mode.

Note: The IMAGETEAM 4410 and 471 0 scanners are factory programmed for a

keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard.

The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.

Disconnect

3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner and to the terminal/ computer. The scanner will beep twice.

4. Connect the power supply (4 to 9V).

5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.

6. Verify the scanner operation by sc ann ing a bar code. The scanner will beep once.

The scanner is now conne cted and ready to communicate w ith your terminal/PC. You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can be transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard wedge, see"Terminal Interface" on page 2-4. If the scanner is connected via a serial port, turn to "Connecting the Scanner to a Serial Port" on page 1-7.

Reading Techniques

The hand-held Imager has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the Imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered ov er the bar code, but it c an be positioned in any direction for a good read.

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

The aiming beam is smaller when the Imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther fro m the co de. Symbolog ies wi th smaller ba rs or elem ents (mi l size) should be read clos er to the unit. Symbologi es with larger bars or el ements (mil size) should be read fa rther from the unit. (see "Depth of Field Charts (44 10 & 4710)" on page 10-4.) To r ead s ingle or mu ltiple symbo ls (on a pa ge or on an object), hold the Imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol.

Terminal Interface

IMAGETEAM 4410 and IMAGETEAM 4710 scanners are factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and yo u do no t need to mo dify the sett ings, ski p to "Power Sav ing Mode" on page 2-16 to begin programming the scanner.

If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to the "Supported Terminals Chart" on page 2-5 and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the Terminal ID bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) on the inside back cover of this manual to program the scanner for your terminal ID> Scan Save to save your selection.

For example, an IBM PS/2 terminal has a Terminal ID of 002. You would scan the Terminal ID b ar code , then 0, 0, 2 from the inside back cover, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the back cover and scan the digits and the Save code again.

Software Flow Control

This allows control of data transmission from the Imager using software commands from the host device. When this feature is turned control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device su spends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the Imager. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.

Centering

Use the centering feature to narro w the ima ge r’s field of view to ma ke su re tha t the imager 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. When centering is turned on, the imager only reads codes that intersect the centering window set up by the user. The centering window must intersect the center of the image. If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner.

If centering is turn ed on by scanning the O n bar code below, the de fault centering window is a 60 pixel square area in the cen ter of the imager ’s field of view. The position of the window may be changed by scanning the top, bottom, left, and right centering ba r codes that fol low and the app ropriate pixel value, if othe r than the default, from the Pr ogramming Chart in the back of thi s manual. The defa ults are listed in the table below.

Two AutoTrigger Modes are available: Scan Stand and Presentation Mode. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan

Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Sy mbol th at foll ows .) Whe n a di fferent code is presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code.

Note: The scanner auto matically adjus ts the illumi nation LEDs to the lowest ligh t

This sets the time period before the scanner can re-trigger for another read attempt. Setting a re-trigger delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop informat ion (characte rs) if data com es through to o quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data increasing data integrity.

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each).

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, ad ditional in formation is sent to the host co mputer 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 secti on are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be se nt 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:

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.

prefix = None. Default suffix = CR/LF

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-36, plus Code I.D. and Aim I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixe s in the order in which you want the m to appear on the output.

Multiple Symbols

Note: This feature does not work when the Imager is in Low Power mode.

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the Imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the Imager at a s eries of sy mbols, it reads un ique symbo ls once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The imager attempts to find and decode new symbols as lon g as the trigger is pulled. When th is pro gram m ing se lec tion is turned

With No Read turned On, the Imager notifies you if a code cannot be read. In the Quick*View Scan Data Window (see "Scan Data Window"on page 7-4), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned will not appear.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the o utput mess age using t he Data Format ter (see page 2-37). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.
