Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Granit 1280i corded industrial scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.

Honeywell 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

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.

Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer.

3. Make sure the cable is pushed tightly into the scanner. Loosen the locking plate and slide it over the base of the cable connector to lock the cable in place. Tighten the screw.

4. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.

5. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.

6. Plug in the AC adapter, if applicable.

This interface programs 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Reading Techniques

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

The Granit 1280i scanner has a bright red scanning line that corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view.

The scanning line 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 scanning line 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.

Cyber Security Settings

Honeywell scanners have additional settings aimed at preventing cyber attacks. You may want to restrict the ability to program your device with menu codes or serial commands, or you may want to disable firmware upgrades to your device. Honeywell’s Cyber Security settings allow you to secure your device by restricting these features. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page 11-1) 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 scanning 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.

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 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 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.

RTS/CTS Off: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used, but RTS is still active. RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used and RTS is inactive. 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 2-7) 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 2-7) 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.

Default = RTS/CTS Off.

Communication Timeout

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 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

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, data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON 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.

This setting limits the number of Communication Timeout retries. If the Timeout Retries is set to 0, the transmission is terminated after the initial Communication Timeout. Scan the bar code below, then set the number of retries (from 0-

255) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. (5 is the recommended setting.) Default =

Communication Timeout Beeper

This selection programs the scanner to issue an error beep when a communication timeout has occurred. The error beep sound is programmed using Number of Beeps – Error (page 3-5). Default = On.

NAK Retries

This selection limits the number of NAK retries that can occur in ACK/NAK mode. Scan the bar code below, then set the number of retries (from 0-255) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. (5 is the recommended setting.) Default = 0, or disabled.

Support BEL/CAN in ACK/NAK

This protocol responds to <BEL> and <CAN> commands when in ACK/NAK mode. The scanner sounds an error tone when a <BEL> command is sent from the host. <CAN> terminates the transmission. Default = BEL/CAN Off.

This selection allows you to program an NCR-specific suffix. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2 to find the hex equivalent for the characters you want for the NCR suffix (typically, 03 for ETX). Scan the bar code below, then set the hex number (from 0-FF) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default

= 0.

NCR Prefix/Suffix

When set to Tra ns mit, both the NCR prefix and suffix are transmitted with bar codes. Usually, prefixes and suffixes are programmed using the Data Editing selections (see Data Editing beginning on page 4-1), however, the following commands

override any other prefix/suffix settings. Default = Don’t Transmit.

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 3-5) for an NOF, and dis- ables the scanner while the cashier looks up the price manually. When set to Off, no sound is emitted for an NOF. Default

= Off.

Scanner to Bioptic Communication

The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell scanners and bioptic scanners.

Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 timeout must be set to 3000 in order to communicate with

a bioptic scanner. See "RS232 Modifiers" on page 2-4, and RS232 Timeout on page 2-7 for further information.

Power Save Mode

Power Save Mode allows you to automatically set the conditions under which the scanner idles, sleeps, and wakes up. When Off is selected, no power saving is used and the scanner remains powered on until the trigger is pressed.

When Sleep Mode is selected, the scanner goes into sleep mode (powered off) after the time interval set using Power Save

Mode Timeout (page 3-1), during which there is no activity. This provides significant power savings over the Off setting.

When Hibernate Mode is selected, the scanner goes into idle mode after the time interval set using Power Save Mode Timeout (page 3-1), during which there is no activity. After the same time interval has elapsed with no activity while the scanner is in idle mode, the scanner goes into sleep mode (powered off). This provides additional power savings over the Sleep Mode setting, but the scanner takes longer to wake up.

Default = Off.

Power Save Mode Timeout

Use this selection to set a timeout (in seconds) for the scanner when using Power Save Mode. When this time has elapsed with no activity, the scanner will enter the Power Save Mode selected. After scanning the Power Save Mode Timeout bar code, set the timeout duration (from 0-65535 seconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 600 seconds.

Power Up Beeper

The scanner can be programmed to beep when it’s powered up. Scan the Off bar code(s) if you don’t want a power up beep.

Default = Power Up Beeper On - Scanner.

Beeper - Transmit Order

The beeper transmit order determines when the good read beep occurs. The scanner can be set to emit the good read beep either before or after data transmission. Default = Before Transmission.

Vibrate – Good Read

The scanner vibrates once when a bar code is successfully read, and twice when a programming bar code is successfully read. When a programming bar code is unsuccessful, the scanner emits one long vibration (2 times the Vibrate Duration length). The trigger cannot be used again until the vibration has ended. Scan Vibrate - Good Read Off to keep the scanner from vibrating. This setting may be preferable if you need to scan multiple bar codes in succession and do not want to

wait till the vibration has ended. Default = Vibrate - Good Read On.

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.

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.

Beeper Volume Max

Scan the following bar code to set all error and good read beeps to the maximum volume. This feature also sets the Beeper

Pitch – Good Read to the highest level.

Laser Aimer

Laser Aimer - Scanning Pattern

To set the laser light pattern that appears when scanning a bar code, you must first enter an aimer delay (see Aimer Delay on page 3-7). Then scan one of the following bar codes to set a new scanning pattern.

Out-Of-Stand Settings

The following settings program the scanner’s behavior when it is out of the stand, or hand-held.

Note: The Granit 1280i does not support In-Stand settings. It supports only the standard Honeywell Out-of-Stand settings.

Caution: When working with Out-of-Stand settings, enable the settings you want before disabling those you do not

want to use. If you disable settings first, you may program the scanner so it is unable to read bar codes. if this happens, power cycle the scanner and scan the defaults bar code on page 1-2.

Out-of-Stand Defaults

If you want the Out-of-Stand default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Out-of-Stand Defaults bar code below. This resets the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-2). 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.

In Manual Activation Mode, you must press the trigger to scan a bar code. The scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. Default = Manual Activation On Out-of-Stand.

End Manual Activation After Good Read

After a bar code is successfully read, the laser can be programmed either to remain on and scanning, or to turn off. When

End Manual Activation After Good Read is enabled, the laser turns off and stops scanning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Manual Activation After Good Read, the laser remains on after a good read, but the trigger must be pressed

to scan the next bar code. Default = End Manual Activation After Good Read Out-of-Stand.

You can set a timeout for the length of time the laser remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when the trigger is held down, and after it is released. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning one of the following bar codes, then setting the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.

Default = Trigger Hold Out-of-Stand 30,000 ms, Trigger Release Out-of-Stand 0.

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 the 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 a Presentation Mode (see page

3-10). Default = Medium.

User-Specified Reread Delay

If you want to set your own length for the reread 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.

When CodeGate is On, the trigger is used to allow decoded data to be transmitted to the host system. The scanner remains on, scanning and decoding bar codes, but the bar code data is not transmitted until the trigger is pressed. When CodeGate is Off,

bar code data is transmitted when it is decoded. Default = CodeGate On 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 Timeout (page 3-13), the deactivation character is received (see Deactivation Character on page 3-14), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code 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), page A-2, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan

the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 18 [CAN].

Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 68 [h].

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. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Centering, page 3-14, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code scanners.)

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 Left and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left and 30% right. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely

through the centering window.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the left or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Cen-

tering = 40% Left, 60% Right.

When either Blinky Mode On or Blinky Always On/Continuous is scanned, the scanner blinks on and off at 50% duty cycle (250 milliseconds on, then 250 milliseconds off.) Default = Blinky Mode Off.

Laser Scan Angle

The laser scan angle can be set to several different widths in order to adjust to your particular scanning requirements.

Full Laser Beam Sweep: This is the default setting that produces a 13.5° laser beam. Reduced Laser Beam Sweep: If you are aiming at a longer distance and the laser beam becomes too wide and touches adja-

cent bar codes, you may need to adjust the width of the beam. In this case, scan the Reduced Laser Beam Sweep bar code below to narrow the laser beam.

Wide Laser Beam Sweep: If you have an exceptionally wide medium or high density bar code, you could use the wider sweep so the laser beam encompasses all of the code.

Note: When using Wide Laser Beam Sweep, the depth of field is reduced.

Note: Increasing the security level may decrease the scan speed.

Continuous Scan Mode

This programs the engine to continuously scan and decode, with the laser and motor staying on.

Note: When operating in Continuous Scan Mode, the scanner’s upper operating temperature is 104°F (40°C).

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 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: 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 (inside back cover) to read these options. You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in the sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-19).

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,

3 - 16

indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2, 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

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 for-

matted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 3-17, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

3 - 19

No Read

* Off

With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 7-2), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.

Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message (see Data

Formatting beginning on page 5-1). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

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 = 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-2, 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 4-2). Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page

A-1) for the 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-2, 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.

4 - 1

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

Add CR Suffix

All Symbologies

Add Prefix

Clear One Prefix

Clear All Prefixes

Add Suffix

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix. Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies. Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. This corresponds with the hex value

for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-2.

Step 4. 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.

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 Charts, 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.

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 7-2. When the

scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Communication Check Character

To enhance security, you can specify the transmission type of a check character; either LRC where the calculation starts on the first transmitted character, or LRC where the calculation starts on the second transmitted character.

Note: This option adds a check character to the bar code data for all symbologies. If you need to enable or disable check

characters for individual symbologies, see Symbologies beginning on page 6-1.

Scan the following bar code to set the communication check character type. Default = None.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

* 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 is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page 5-3) 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 2000 bytes, which includes header information. If a bar code is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on the bar code data. If there

is no other data format, the raw data is output. 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.

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 you are programming. (See "Primary/Alternate Data Formats" on page 5-12 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-3) 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: 099 indicates all terminal types.

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.

If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 5-11).

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.

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. For example, 50 characters is entered as 0050.

Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-3). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving your changes.

Other Programming Selections

Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming

Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the

format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D. (see Symbology Charts on page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.

Clear all Data Formats

This clears all data formats.

Save to exit and save your data format changes. Discard to exit without saving any data format changes.

34567890 <CR>

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 replacement characters, continuing through zz

E4 Example: Replace zeroes with CRs in bar code data

and zz2.

defines characters to be replaced and xx2 defines

If the bar code has characters that the host application does not want included, you can use the E4 command to replace those characters with something else. In this example, you will replace the zeroes in the bar code above with carriage returns.

Command string: E402300DF10D E4 is the “Replace characters” command

5 - 9

02 is the total count of characters to be replaced, plus the replacement characters (0 is replaced by CR, so total characters = 2)

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), beginning on page A-2 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), beginning on page A-2 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.

EC Example: Only output the data if the bar code begins with a number

If you want only data from bar codes that begin with a number, you can use EC to check for the number. Command string: ECF10D EC is the “Check for a number” command F1 is the “Send all characters” command 0D is the hex value for a CR

If this bar code is read, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on the data. If there

is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is output as AB1234.

If this bar code is read: the data is output as:

1234AB <CR>

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.

ED Example: Only output the data if the bar code begins with a letter

If you want only data from bar codes that begin with a letter, you can use ED to check for the letter. Command string: EDF10D

5 - 10

ED is the “Check for a non-numeric character” command

Data Formatter Off

F1 is the “Send all characters” command 0D is the hex value for a CR

If this bar code is read, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on this data. If there

is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is output as 1234AB.

If this bar code is read: the data is output as:

AB1234 <CR>

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 emulation.a

Discard Data

B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step

4 (page 5-1), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.

Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.

The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-11) in order for the B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 5-12), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as usual. Because the data format needs to be On and Required (page 5-12) for the B8 command, you must input data formats for all bar codes you wish to discard as well as all bar codes you wish to output. Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 5-12), the scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.

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 Formatter On, Not 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. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the 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.

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 will sound. If you wish to hear the error tone when a non-matching bar 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.

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).

For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as 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 3.

If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, scan the All Symbologies On code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for that particular sym-

bology.

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.

When the On bar code is scanned, the check character values are output along with the bar code data, thus allowing you to verify that the check character is in agreement with that calculated for the data stream. Default = Off.

Transmit Identifiers

You may disable the transmission of the ISBT Code 128 data identifiers by scanning Off. When this selection is Off, the first 2 data (ID) characters are removed from the data stream unless the ISBT code contains the Donation Identification Number identifiers. If the code contains the Donation Identification Number identifiers, only the first ID character is

removed from the Donation Identification Number. The second character is transmitted as normal data. Default = On.

Flag Digit Conversion

Type 3 flag digits are a part of the Donation Identification Number in an ISBT 128 bar code. If you select On, the flag data is converted into a single MOD (37, 2) character and transmitted with the bar code data. Scan Off if you do not want the

flag digits transmitted. Default = Off.

GS1-128 Application Identifier Parsing

This allows a single GS1-128 bar code to be broken into multiple transmissions based on the presence of application identifiers (AI) embedded in the bar code. To use this feature, first enable 128 Group Separator Output (page 6-17). Next, scan Transmit Without Identifiers if you want the bar code broken into packets and stripped of the AI. If you want the AI

included, scan Transmit With Identifiers. Default = Off.

GS1-128 Redundancy

If you are encountering errors when reading GS1-128 bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count. Redundancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of errors. Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy, scan the GS1-128 Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Then scan the Save bar code. Default = 0.

UPC-A Redundancy

When Required is scanned, the scanner will only read UPC-A bar codes that have addenda. You must then turn on a 2 or 5 digit addenda listed on page 6-26. Default = Not Required.

UPC-A Addenda Separator

When this feature is on, there is a space between the data from the bar code and the data from the addenda. When turned off, there is no space. Default = On.

Addenda Timeout

You can set a time during which the scanner looks for a coupon code. If a coupon code is not found within this time period, the data can be either transmitted or discarded, based on the setting you are using for UPC-A/EAN-13 with Extended

Coupon Code or UPC-A Number System 4 Addenda Required. Set the length (in milliseconds) for this timeout by scanning

the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 0-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 100.

Note: The Addenda Timeout setting is applied to all addenda and coupon code searches.

with Extended Coupon Code

Use the following codes to enable or disable UPC-A and EAN-13 with Extended Coupon Code. When left on the default setting (Off), the scanner treats Coupon Codes and Extended Coupon Codes as single bar codes.

If you scan the Allow Concatenation code, when the scanner sees the coupon code and the extended coupon code in a single scan, it transmits both as separate symbologies. Otherwise, it transmits the first coupon code it reads.

If you scan the Require Concatenation code, the scanner must see and read the coupon code and extended coupon code in a single read to transmit the data. No data is output unless both codes are read. Default = Off.

UPC-A/Code 128 Coupon Code Output

These settings are used when a coupon code and a Code 128 bar code are detected in the same scan. Scan Multiple Code Output to transmit both codes as separate bar codes with separate terminators. Scan Single Code Output to trans-

mit the data as one extended bar code. Default = Multiple Code Output.

UPC-A Number System 4 Addenda Required

This setting programs the scanner to require a coupon code only on UPC-A bar codes that begin with a “4.” The following settings can be programmed:

Require Coupon Code: All UPC-A bar codes that begin with a “4” must have a coupon code. The UPC-A bar code with the coupon code is then transmitted as a single, concatenated bar code. If a coupon code is not found within the Addenda

Timeout period, the UPC-A bar code is discarded.

Don’t Require Coupon Code: If you have selected Require Coupon Code, and you want to disable this feature, scan Don’t Require Coupon Code. UPC-A bar codes are transmitted, depending on the setting you are using for UPC-A/EAN-

13 with Extended Coupon Code.

Require Coupon Code/Addenda: All UPC-A bar codes that begin with a “5” must have a coupon code, a 2 digit addenda, a 5 digit addenda, or a combination of these addenda. The UPC-A bar code with the coupon code and/or addenda is then transmitted as a single, concatenated bar code. If a coupon code and/or required addenda is not found within the Addenda

Timeout period, the UPC-A bar code is discarded.

Don’t Require Coupon Code/Addenda: If you have selected Require Coupon Code/Addenda, and you want to disable this feature, scan Don’t Require Coupon Code/Addenda. UPC-A bar codes are transmitted, depending on the setting you are using for UPC-A/EAN-13 with Extended Coupon Code.

Default = Don’t Require Coupon Code/Addenda.
