Reading Techniques

Good Read Bad Read

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 horizontally over the bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of the bar code. It will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.

The aiming beam 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, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam 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

Honeywell 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 Limited Warranty on page 12-1) for further information.

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 each menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom defaults.

1 - 5

When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom

Save Custom Defaults

Set Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

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.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This 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 defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

USB HID Bar Code Scanner

Scan one of the following codes to program the scanner for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes also adds a CR and LF.

USB HID

Scan the following code to program the scanner for USB HID bar code scanners.

HID Fallback Mode

If you attempt to set a USB interface for your scanner, but the setup fails on the host system, you can program the scanner to fall back to a HID keyboard interface after a set length of time. For example, if the scanner is configured for Serial Emulation Mode, but the host system does not have the correct driver, the scanner would fail. If you set the HID Fallback Mode for a set length of time, for example, 5 minutes, the scanner would change to a HID keyboard interface after 5 minutes of trying to configure as serial emulation.

A unique beep sequence indicates that this mode has been entered. While in HID Fallback Mode, the scanner will not scan normal bar codes and sounds a unique beep sequence that indicates the scanner is in Fallback Mode. Menu codes can still be scanned while in HID Fallback Mode, allowing you to change the scanner’s programming.

Characters bar code. If your keystrokes require the ALT key and 4 charac-

ters, scan the 4 Characters bar code. The data is then output with the special character(s). Default = Off.

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 fol- lowing Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.

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.

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not com-

mon to U.S. keyboards).

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.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

board 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.

Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the ASCII Conversion

Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3), but it does not translate any prefix or

suffix information.

Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.

Numeric Keypad Mode: Sends numeric characters as if entered from a numeric keypad. Default = Off.

Inter-Scan Code Delay

When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or held down, the keyboard sends a packet of information known as a “scan code” to your computer. This selection allows you to adjust the delay

<F0> Break Character

When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or held down, the keyboard sends a packet of information known as a “scan code” to your computer. There are two different types of scan codes: “make codes” and “break codes.” A make code is sent when a key is pressed or held down. A break code is sent when a key is released. The following selections allow you to suppress or transmit the character sequence of the break code. Default = Transmit.

Keyboard Wedge Defaults

If you want the custom keyboard wedge default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Keyboard Wedge Defaults bar code below. This resets the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-5). 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 defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data flow control is used.

Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.

Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host

Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.

Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-28) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-28) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires

When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming

Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 1000 ms (1 second).

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner,

character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

Communication Timeout

This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for the host ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar code below, then set the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 2000 ms.

NCR NOF (Not-on-File) Error

A scanner receives an NOF (Not on File) command from the POS whenever it cannot cross-reference the bar code to a price parameter. When set to On, the error tone sounds (set via Number of Beeps – Error, page 3-4) for an NOF, and disables the scanner while the cashier looks up the price manually. When set to Off, no sound is emitted for an NOF. Default = Off.

If you scan Do Not End Object Detection After Good Read, the laser remains on after a good read.

Default = End Object Detection After Good Read.

Object Detection Laser Timeout

You can set a timeout for the length of time the laser remains on and attempting to decode bar codes after an object is detected. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the

Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5000 ms.

When the scanner is in the stand and you are using Object Detection Mode, you can set the distance range for detecting objects. Short sets the scanner to detect objects approximately 5 inches (12.7cm) away from the nose. Long sets it to detect objects approximately 10 inches (25.4cm) away. Default = Short In-Stand, Long Out-of-Stand.

Character Activation Mode

You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning. When the activation character is received, the scanner continues scanning until either the Character Activation Laser Timeout (page 3-14), the deactivation character is received (see Deactivation Character on page 3-15), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the On bar code below to use character activation, then use Activation Character (following) to select the character you will send from the host to start scanning. Default = Off.

Activation Character

This sets the character used to trigger scanning when using Character Activation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan the bar code below, then use the Programming Chart

Output Sequence Overview

Output Sequence Editor

This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the scanner to

3 - 16

the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Note: If CodeGate is enabled, you must hold the trigger while reading each

bar code in a sequence.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the

code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols on the Programming Chart to read these options.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output

Sequence, page 3-20).

2. Code I.D. On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

3. Length Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for 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.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line: SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF The breakdown of the command line is shown below: SEQBLKsequence editor start command 62 code identifier for Code 39 9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths 41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A” FF termination string for first code 6A code identifier for Code 128 9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths 42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B” FF termination string for second code 69 code identifier for Code 93 9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths 43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C” FF termination string for third code To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to

count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 3-18, but assume a <CR> suf- fix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

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

alpha numeric & control characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-11

Suffix

1-11 alpha numeric & control 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 is dependent on interface.

• 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-3, 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 32 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 Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the

4 - 1

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) on page A-3, 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 return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix. Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for U.P.C.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252) on page A-3, for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

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 char- acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

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

* Default Data Format

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s 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; however 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 order 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 256 bytes, which includes header information. No format can contain more than 50 bytes.

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.

To A dd a D at a Fo rm at

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 - 1

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page

Enter Data Format

Save

Discard

5-10 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

Programming Chart 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 Charts, 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.

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 (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.

cursor pointing to “s” string. Syntax = B0nnnnS where nnnn is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string. For example, B0000454657374 will search forward for the first occurrence of the 4 character string “Test.” Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

Search backward for a string

B1 Search backward for “s” string from the current cursor position, leaving

cursor pointing to “s” string. Syntax = B1nnnnS where nnnn is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string. For example, B1000454657374 will search backward for the first occurrence of the 4 character string “Test.” Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

5 - 6

Search forward for a non-matching character

E6 Search the input message forward for the first non-“xx” character from

the current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non-“xx” character. Syntax = E6xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

Search backward for a non-matching character

E7 Search the input message backward for the first non-“xx” character

from the current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non“xx” character. Syntax = E7xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

Miscellaneous Commands

Suppress characters

FB Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the

current cursor position, as the cursor is advanced by other commands. When the FC command is encountered, the suppress function is terminated. The cursor is not moved by the FB command. Syntax = FBnnxxyy . .zz where nn is a count of the number of suppressed characters in the list, and xxyy .. zz is the list of characters to be suppressed.

Stop suppressing characters

FC Disables suppress filter and clear all suppressed characters. Syntax =

FC.

Replace characters

E4 Replaces up to 15 characters in the output message, without moving

the cursor. Replacement continues until the E5 command is encountered. Syntax = E4nnxx1xx2yy1yy2...zz1zz2 where nn is the total

count of the number of characters in the list (characters to be replaced plus replacement characters); xx

defines replacement characters, continuing through zz1 and

and xx

Stop replacing characters

E5 Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5.

defines characters to be replaced

5 - 7

Compare characters

Data Formatter Off

FE Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character

“xx.” If characters are equal, move the cursor forward one position. Syntax = FExx where xx stands for the comparison character’s hex value for its ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

Compare string

B2 Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.” If the strings

are equal, move the cursor forward past the end of the string. Syntax = B2nnnnS where nnnn is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string. For example, B2000454657374 will compare the string at the current cursor position with the 4 character string “Test.” Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3 for decimal, hex and character codes.

Check for a number

EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor

position. The format is aborted if the character is not numeric.

Check for non-numeric character

ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the

current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is numeric.

Insert a delay

EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting

from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard wedge interfaces.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not transmitted. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On, Not

Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone

When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, the scanner normally generates an error tone. However, you may want to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you scan the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone

code is found, scan the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On bar code.

Default = Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On.

Primary/Alternate Data Formats

You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under 1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar codes below.

Single Scan Data Format Change

You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next bar code is scanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).

5 - 10

For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as

Single Scan-Data Format 1

Single Scan-Data Format 2

Single Scan-Data Format 3

Single Scan-Primary

Data Format

Data Format 3. You can switch to Data Format 1 for a single trigger pull by scanning the Single Scan-Data Format 1 bar code below. The next bar code that is scanned uses Data Format 1, then reverts back to Data Format
