Laser and LED Safety

The Laser A iming subsystem p rojects 670 nm laser light onto the bar code target to define the optical field of view. The projected pattern consists of a central cross and four 90 de gree corner sections. T his pattern is gener ated by a lens and diffractive component positioned at the output of the enclosed laser diode. This projected pattern assists the operator to frame the bar code being scanned.

The Good Read Indicator and the LED Illumination Array have been tested in accordance with the spe ci ficati on “Safety of Laser Products” EN 60825-1:1994, Issue 2, June 1997 and found to satisfy the requirements of Class 1. Class 1 optical systems are consi dered safe under r easonably foreseeab le cond itions of operation. The Aiming Laser has been tested in accordance with the specification “Safety of Laser Products” EN 60825-1:1994, Issue 2, June 1997 and found to satisfy the requirements of Class 2. Class 2 systems are considered to emit visible radiation in the wavelen gth range from 400 nm to 700 nm. Eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses including the blink reflex. It is recommended that you do not stare into the beam or cause others to stare into the beam.

Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge)

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plug ged into the s erial p ort, or conn ected to a por table data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode.

Note: Only un its ordered from the factory with keyboar d wedge capability can be

connected as keyboard wedge units.

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. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.

5. Verify the scanner operation by scanni ng a bar code from the back cover of this manual. The scanner will beep once.

The scanner is now connected and read y to communicate with your terminal/PC. You must program the scanne r for your inter face befor e 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 2-10.

Reading Techniques

The hand-held Ima ger has a view finder (shown be low) wh ich is similar to those on cameras. The view finder allows you to position the code within the field of view.

The illustration below shows where to aim the red illuminated beam over the symbol for a good read. Center the symbology in the view finder. The entire symbology must be within the view finder (aiming beam). The view finder changes size as you move the Imager closer to or farther away from a code.

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

Note: The symbols can be in any orientation for the Imager to read.

The view finder is smaller when the Imager 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 la rger bars or elements (m il size) should be read f arthe r from th e unit. (see "Depth of Field Charts "on page 1-8.) To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the Imager at an appropr iate distance fro m the target, pull the trigger , and center the view finder cross hairs on the symbol.

Software Flow Control

This allows control of data transmission from the Imager using software commands from the host device. When this feature is turned off, no data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned on, the host device suspen ds 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.

Serial Triggering

This provides a means of sending a serial trigger command to s tart and stop decoding. When this feature is turned off, the Imager will not respond to serial trigger commands. When serial triggering is turned on, the Imager requires a serial trigger chara cter to activate scanning and deco ding. The unit continues to scan and decode bar codes unt il the Trigger Off character turn s off the scanner, or a time out occurs.

On th e " Deci mal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-34, find the hex characters you want to use to turn the trigger on and off. Locate the decimal values for those characters and scan the 2 digits for each one from the Programming Chart in the back of this manual.

When Serial T riggering is On, the defa ult Trigger On decim al character is 18 (hex 12, DC2), and the default Trigger Off decimal character is 20 (hex 14, DC4).

AutoTrigger

Two AutoTrigger Modes are available: Scan Stand and Presentation Mode. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LED shines at the symbol on the base

of the stand which te lls it to rem ain idle. When a different cod e is pre sented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code.

Presentation mode is fo r those applications where a scan stand will not work, i.e., when large packages mu st be scann ed. To program the devi ce for presentat ion mode, refer to "Prese ntation Mod e" on page 2-21.

Scan Stand LED Intensity

This sets the idle LED intensity when the Imager is in Scan Stand mode. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LED shines at the symbol on the base of the stand which tel ls it to remain idle. Wh en a different code is present ed, the Imager is triggered to read the new code. If the Imager has difficulty going back to reading the Scan St and’s fixed cod e, for instance, in a low lig hting situation, you may want to adjust the Scan Stand LED Intensity. A two digit number between 15 and 75 must be input after the Scan Stand LED Intensity prog rammi ng code is scanned. A 15 corresponds to the lowest intensity level, and a 75 corre sponds to the highest intensity level. 15 is the default setting.

Note that when the unit is triggered to read a code, the unit uses the LED power level specified through "LED Power Level" on page 2-17.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays

Some terminals dr op information (ch aracters) if data comes thr ough too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, which increases data integrity.

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

Intercharacter Delay

This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between the transmission o f each character of scanned data. You can pr ogram up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each). Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of steps, and the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.

Note:

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of steps to 00. Scan the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.

If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan Discard on the back cover and scan the correct digits and Save again.

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-define d data is called a “message str ing.” The selection s in this section are used to build the user-def ined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix char acters 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:

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 = 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 "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-34, plus Code I.D. and Aim I.D.

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

• Enter prefix es and suffixes in the orde r in which you want th em to appear on th e output.

Data Format Editor Overview

The Data Format Edi tor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned.

It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner. The selections in the following pages are used on ly if you wish t o alter the defau lt settings.

setting = none.

If you ha ve changed da ta format setti ngs, and wish to clear all formats and return to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code.

To Add a Data Format

1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 2-38).

2. Primary/Alternate Fo rmat Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format. See "Alternate Data Formats" on page 2-40.) If you are progra mming the primary for mat, scan 0. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.

Default Data Format

3. Terminal Type Refer to the "Supported Terminals Chart"on page 2-5 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.

4. Code I.D. On page 2-33, 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 Programm ing Chart.

5. Length Specify what length (up to 9999 character s) of d ata will be a cceptable fo r this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

6. Editor Commands Refer to the "Format Editor Commands" on page 2-36. Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumer ic characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

7. Scan Save to save your entries.

Other Programming Selections

• Clear One Data Format This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the "Supported Terminals Chart"on page 2-5), Code I.D. and the length of the format you want to delete. That length data format for that symbology is deleted and all other formats are unaffected.

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 Image r’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aim ing the Image r at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbol s once, beeping (if turned o n) for each read. Whe n this programming selectio n is turne d off, the Imager will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.

No Read

With No Read turned on, the Imager notifies you if a code cannot be rea d. In the Quick*View Scan Data Window (see "Scan D ata Window " on page 6-4), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Rea d is turn ed o ff, the “NR” will not appear.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the ou tput message using the Data Forma tter (see page 2- 35). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Print Weight

Print Weight is used to adjust the way the scanner reads Matrix symbols. If a scanner will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance . For consistently light pri nting, a print weight of 2 may help. A value from 0 to 8 may be used to adjust the print weight. The default print weight is 4.

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.

Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15

Structured Carrier Message Only

A MaxiCode is made up of a primary and secondary message. The primary portion, also known a s the “structu red carrier message ,” contains i nforma tion of primary importance, such as package destination. The secondary portion contains less important data, such as package weight. If your application requires only the primary dat a from MaxiCodes, turn Structured Carrie r Message Only on. Turn this feature on if you are trying to read a dama ged Maxicode. The scanner may be able to extract just the structur ed carrier message if the center

portion of the code is intact.
