Reading Techniques

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam or pattern is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, press the trigger, and center the aiming beam or pattern on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

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 Customer Support on page 13-1) for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

Activate 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.

Note: When using a cordless system, the Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups. Scanning the Save Defaults bar

code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes are entered. If using an Access Point, the linking bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

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.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform

a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link. If using an Access Point, the linking bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps

Lock on or off . This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).

Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.

These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-16). Otherwise, your

output may not be as expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).

RS232 Handshaking

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.

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 2-21) 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.

RS232 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 1-5100 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.

Bioptic ACK/NAK On

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.

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 Baud Rate" on page 2-18, and RS232 Timeout on page 2-21 for further information.

Scanner-Bioptic Packet Mode

Packet Mode On must be scanned to set the scanner’s format so it is compatible with a bioptic scanner. Default = Packet Mode Off.

Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Mode

Bioptic ACK/Nak On must be scanned so the scanner will wait for an ACK or NAK from a bioptic scanner after each packet is sent. The Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Timeout (below) controls how long the scanner will wait for a response. Default =

Bioptic ACK/NAK Off.

Cordless System Operation

Note: This chapter applies only to cordless scanning systems. It does not apply to corded scanners.

How the Cordless Charge Base/Access Point Works

A cordless charge base or an Access Point provide the link between the cordless scanner and the host system. The base/ Access Point contains an interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.

The cordless charge base is also a scanner’s battery charger. Refer to Charging Information, page 3-4, for additional information.

Linking the Scanner to a Charge Base

Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put the scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base flashes to indicate the scanner’s battery is charging.

If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, that one scanner is linked to one base.

To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base. If you receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base. Refer to page 12-4 for troubleshooting information.

Linking the Scanner to an Access Point

Turn on the computer (laptop/desktop). Plug the interface cable into the Access Point first and then into the appropriate port on the computer. The Page button lights up when the connection to the host is made.

3 - 1

Scan the linking bar code on the top of the Access Point to establish a connection

Override Locked Scanner

(Single Scanner)

between the Access Point and the scanner. The scanner emits a short beep and flashes the green LED to confirm a connection with the Access Point. The Access Point’s Page button remains blue.

Replacing a Linked Scanner

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base or an Access Point, scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base, or scan the Access Point linking bar code. The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base or Access Point will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication with a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep. This indicates that the bar code has been scanned correctly and the base or Access Point has acknowledged receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between the scanner and the base or Access Point.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base or Access Point. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base or Access Point. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base or Access Point, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

1. Scanner reads code and gets ACK from base or Access Point

2. Base or Access Point sends data to host

3 - 2

Programming the Scanner and Base or Access Point

When using the scanner and charge base or Access Point together as a system, menu parameters and configuration settings are stored in the charge base or Access Point. Therefore, when programming any menu configuration settings, the scanner must be linked to the intended charge base or Access Point.

Note: This only applies when the scanner is linked to a charge base or Access Point. If the scanner is in a non-base mode,

configuration settings are stored in the scanner.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The cordless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the base or Access Point. Designed for point-to-point and multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. The CCB01-010BT (Bluetooth Class 2) provides a communication range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and base or Access Point, depending on the environment. See Flexible Power Management, page 3-12, for information about controlling this range.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a scanner to a base or Access Point, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.

Linking Process

Once a scanner is placed into a cordless charge base, the scanner’s battery charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to the base depending on the selected link mode.

Refer to Linking the Scanner to an Access Point, page 3-1, for information about linking to an Access Point.

Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless scanner is in communication with its base or Access Point, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the base or Access Point for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no communication with the base or Access Point. A cordless charge base can also sound an alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm, page 3-10.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base or Access Point have been reset, or the scanner comes back into range. If the scanner relinks, you will hear a single chirp when the relinking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm on page 3-10 for further information.

Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On

The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to the base or Access Point when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 3-13).

You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base or Access Point.

Page Button

When you press the Page button on the base or Access Point, the scanners associated with that base or Access Point will begin beeping (3 short and 1 long beep). If you pull the trigger on a scanner that is beeping in response, or press the Page button on the base or Access Point a second time, all associated scanners will stop beeping. See Paging on page 3-7 for further information about Page Button settings.

About the Battery

There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace the batteries with only the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged. The battery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to ensure optimal performance.

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the cordless base unit. Refer to Base/Access Point

LED Sequences and Meaning, page 3-5, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators. Refer to Charge Only Mode

(page 3-9) if you need to charge a scanner without linking it to the base. Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply. Use only a Listed Limited Power Source

(LPS) or Class 2 type power supply with output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.

Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for example, a USB cable) and not using an external power

supply plugged into the aux port, the current available for charging is reduced and charge times are increased.

Battery Recommendations

• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of battery.

• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.

• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the scanner.

• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.

• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page 13-1 for additional information.

Caution:

Use only Honeywell Li-ion battery packs, model number BAT-SCN01, rated 3.7 Vdc, 7.4Whr in this device. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries

• Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries.

• Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations.

• Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects.

• Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet.

• Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the batteries, to each other with any metal object.

• Do not pierce, strike or step on batteries or subject batteries to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not disassemble or modify batteries.

Caution:

Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.

Proper Disposal of the Battery

When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may send the scanner’s battery to us. (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service Department (page 13-1) for recycling or disposal information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.

When the base has both an external power supply (plugged into the auxiliary power port) and a host interface cable, it will draw its power from the external power supply. When the base does not have an external power supply, it draws its power from the interface cable. However, the scanner battery charges more slowly from a host interface cable than if auxiliary power were available. Using the following selections, you can specify whether the scanner battery is charged from power supplied via the host interface cable.

When Base Charge Off is selected, the scanner battery does not charge when the scanner is in the base cradle. When External or Interface Cable Power is selected, the scanner battery charges from the base’s external power supply, if

there is one. If there is no external power supply to the base, the scanner battery charges from the interface cable. When External Power Only is selected, the scanner battery only charges from the base’s external power supply. If there is no

external power supply, the scanner battery does not charge.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, External Power Only is the only setting available.

By default, the paging button on the base or Access Point pages the scanners associated with that base or Access Point. If you want the paging button on your base or Access Point to be disabled, scan the Paging Mode Off bar code, below. When Paging Mode is off, the base or Access Point will no longer page scanners when the button is pressed. The red LED on the base or blue LED on the Access Point will remain lit to indicate that Paging Mode is off. (This light will go out when

the button is pressed, then back on when it’s released.) Default = Paging Mode On.

Paging Pitch

When you press the Page button on the base or Access Point, the scanners associated with that base or Access Point will begin beeping (see Page Button on page 3-3). You can set the pitch of the paging beep for each scanner by scanning one

of the following bar codes. Default = Low.

The CCB01-010BT base can be configured to beep at a particular pitch when an error occurs, such as transmission problems to a host system. The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the error tone the base emits when there is

an error. Default = Low.

Number of Beeps - Base Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the CCB01-010BT base for an error condition 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.

Scanner Modes

Your scanner is capable of working in single scanner mode, multiple scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices other than the charge base or Access Point.

Charge Only Mode

There may be times when you want to charge your scanner, but not link to the base. For example, if a scanner is linked to an Access Point or other Bluetooth device and you need to charge the scanner, but want to retain your existing link.

In order to program the base for Charge Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it. Once the scanner is linked to the base, scan the Charge Only Mode bar code. Any subsequent scanners placed in that base will charge without linking to it. The scanner used to program the base remains linked to the base. To unlink this scanner, scan Unlink Scanner on page 3-10.

Note: When in Charge Only Mode, the scanner periodically wakes up and beeps. See "Power Up Beeper" on page 4-1 to

change this setting.

If you want to charge a scanner and link to the base, use Charge and Link Mode. If the base is programmed for Charge Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it first in order to program it for Charge and Link Mode. Scan the linking bar code on the base to link the scanner, then scan Charge and Link Mode. Default = Charge and Link Mode.

Linked Modes

Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode are the link modes that accommodate different applications. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one mode to another.

Default = Open Link Mode.

(Single Scanner)

If you link a scanner to a base or an Access Point using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base, or if the Access Point linking bar code is scanned. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.

To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See

Scanner Modes, page 3-9.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not linked to a base or an Access Point. A link is established when the scanner is placed into a base, or an Access Point linking bar code is scanned. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a new scanner is placed in the base, or you scan an Access Point linking bar code. Each time a scanner is placed into a base or scans an Access Point linking bar code, the scanner becomes linked to the base or Access point and the old scanner is unlinked.

Unlinking the Scanner

If a base or an Access Point has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base or Access Point. To unlink the scanner from a base or an Access Point, scan the Unlink Scanner bar code below.

Override Locked Scanner

The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base or Access Point will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.

Out-of-Range Alarm

If your scanner is out range of the base, an alarm sounds from both your base and scanner. If your scanner is out range of an Access Point, an alarm sounds from just the scanner. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer to the base or Access Point, when the base or Access Point connects to another scanner, or when the alarm duration expires. To activate the alarm

Default = 0 sec (no alarm).

Note: The Access Point does not have a base alarm.

Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error tone even if you do not have the alarm set.

You receive the error tone since the data could not be communicated to the base or Access Point or the host.

Alarm Sound Type

You may change the alarm type for the scanner or a CCB01-010BT base by scanning the appropriate bar code below and then scanning a digit (0-7) bar code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 0.

The sounds are as follows:

Setting Sound

0 3 long beeps, medium pitch 1 3 long beeps, high pitch 2 4 short beeps, medium pitch 3 4 short beeps, high pitch 4 single chirps, medium pitch 5 2 chirps, then 1 chirp, medium pitch 6 single chirps, high pitch 7 2 chirps, then 1 chirp, high pitch

Scanner Power Time-Out Timer

Note: Scanner Power Time-out Timer only applies to cordless systems. It does not apply to corded scanners.

When there is no activity within a specified time period, the scanner enters low power mode. Scan the appropriate scanner power time-out bar code to change the time-out duration (in seconds).

Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.

the timer is reset. If the scanner is placed in the charge base cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the scanner will not go into power down mode. Default = 3600 seconds.

Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to power the unit back up. There will be a set of power up beeps

and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The scanner will then be ready to use.

Flexible Power Management

If you are experiencing network performance issues, and suspect the scanner is interfering with other devices, you can turn down the power output of the scanner. This reduces the range between the scanner and a base or an Access Point as shown in the following illustration:

Batch Mode

Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its base or Access Point, or when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.

Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners to one base or Access Point. If a cordless system is being used

in "multiple link mode," where up to 7 scanners are to be connected to one base or Access Point, some accumulated or batched scans could be lost if scanners are constantly being moved in and out of range.

Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of the base or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the base or Access Point so data can be transmitted.

Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the base or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the base or Access Point, either place the scanner in the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-17). When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the data must be transmitted to the base or Access Point. Once the data is transmitted, it is cleared in the scanner.

Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the data is transmitted to the base or Access Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear the scanner’s buffer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 3-17).

Default = Batch Mode Off.

When scanning in Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-14), the scanner beeps every time a bar code is scanned. When Batch Mode Beep is On, you will also hear a click when each bar code is sent to the host. If you do not want to hear these clicks,

scan Batch Mode Beep Off. Default = Batch Mode Beep On.

Batch Mode Storage

When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can select whether the data is stored in Flash memory or in RAM.

Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches a power down timeout or if the battery power is very low.

RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has not been transmitted to the base or Access Point, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if the scanner runs out of battery power, it will power down and the data will be lost.

Default = Flash Storage.

3 - 14

Batch Mode Quantity

* Batch Mode Quantity Off

Batch Mode Quantity On

When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple bar codes scanned, rather than a single bar code multiple times. For example, if you scan three bar codes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit your data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the Quantity Codes (page 3-16), you could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.

Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the bar code data and the quantity, refer

to Data Formatting beginning on page 6-1.

Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.

Entering Quantities

Quantity Codes (page 3-16) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned, up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits are shifted from right to left, so if a 5th digit is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.

For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been set to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345.

Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.

1. Scan the item's bar code.

2. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.

1. Scan the item's bar code.

2. Scan the quantity 1 bar code.

3. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.

5. Scan the quantity 0 bar code. Example: Change a quantity of 103 to 10. To correct an incorrect quantity, scan the quantity 0 bar code to replace the incorrect digits, then scan the correct quantity

bar codes.

1. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 1030.

2. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0300.

3. Scan the quantity 1 bar code to change the quantity to 3001.

4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0010.

Batch Mode Transmit Delay

Sometimes when accumulated scans are sent to the host system, the transmission of those scans is too fast for the application to process. To program a transmit delay between accumulated scans, scan one of the following delays. Default =

Off.

Note: In most cases, a short (250 ms (milliseconds)) delay is ideal, however, longer delays may be programmed. Contact

Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one base or Access Point. You cannot join an

8th scanner until you unlink one of the 7 scanners or take a scanner out of range.

To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base or Access Point and must either be placed into the base, or you must scan the Access Point linking bar code in order to relink.

Scanner Name

You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes. For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for a scanner that is receiving imaging commands sent from the base or Access Point.

The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you have more than one scanner linked to a base, and they all have the same name, the first scanner linked to the base receives commands. When renaming a series of scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the base.

Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 3-19, or by sending the serial command :Scanner- Name:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the scanner. If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and repeat the :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. command for each scanner.

To rename scanners with sequential, numeric names, scan the bar codes below. and wait for the scanner to relink to the base or Access Point before scanning a bar code to rename the next scanner.

Scan the Reset code after each name change

name the linked scanner “312,” you would scan the bar code below, scan the 3, 1, and 2 bar codes on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save. Scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to relink to the base.

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one base or Access Point. You can also have up to 7 work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than 1 work group. If you want each scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each scanner to its own unique work group and may program each scanner independently. For example, you might want to have multiple work groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need to have different data appended to bar codes used in the warehouse area versus the retail area. You could assign all the scanners in the retail area to one work group and those in the warehouse to another. Consequently, any desired changes to either the retail or warehouse area would apply to all scanners in that particular work group. Honeywell’s online configuration tool, EZConfig-Scanning (page 9-2), makes it easy for you to program your system for use with multiple scanners and multiple work groups.

The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner is connected or reconnected to a base or an Access Point, the scanner is updated with the latest settings from the base or Access Point for its work group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base or Access Point. If a scanner is removed from a base or an Access Point and placed into another base or linked to another Access Point, it will be updated with the new base/Access Point settings for whatever work group to which that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second base with the associated settings.

Using the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices

The scanner can be used either with the charge base, an Access Point, or with other Bluetooth devices. Those devices include personal computers, laptops, PDAs, and Honeywell mobility systems devices.

Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect

Your scanner can be paired with Bluetooth-capable devices, such as iPads, smart phones, and laptops, so that scanned data appears on your device screen as though it was entered on the keyboard. In order to pair with the Bluetooth device:

1. Scan the Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect bar code below.

2. Set the Bluetooth-capable host device so it searches for other Bluetooth devices. (Refer to your device’s User’s Guide for pairing instructions.)

3. Once your host device has located the scanner, select the scanner name. The host generates and displays a random PIN that must be scanned within 60 seconds. You must quickly scan Bluetooth PIN Code, then the numbers below,

then Save.

If your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop using Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect (page 3-21), you must disconnect it in order to once again communicate with the base or Access Point. Scan the Blue- tooth HID Keyboard Disconnect bar code to unlink the scanner from the currently linked host. Scan the linking bar code on the base or Access Point to relink the scanner.

Bluetooth Serial Port - PCs/Laptops

Scanning the Non-Base BT Connection bar code below allows the scanner to be used with other Bluetooth devices (e.g., PC/laptop). When in this mode, the scanner behaves like an RS-232 serial device, and you will need to open a COM port on the host to read scanned data.

After you scan the bar code below, follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the scanner and connect to it. If you go out of range with your scanner, the scanner will not reconnect to the Bluetooth device when it is back in range. If you want to relink to the charge base or Access Point, refer to Override Locked Scanner, page 3-10.

Note: The multiple work groups option is not available when you are using the scanner with Bluetooth devices other than

the charge base or Access Point.

PDAs/Mobility Systems Devices

You may also use the scanner with a PDA or a Honeywell Mobility Systems device. Scan the bar code below and follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the scanner, and connect with it.

Changing the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code

Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features. Your scanner’s default PIN is 1234, which you may need to enter the first time you connect to your PDA or PC. The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters. To change the PIN, scan the bar code below and then scan the appropriate numeric bar codes from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Scan Save to save your selection.

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity

The settings described below can help you customize the relinking behavior of the cordless area-imaging system to obtain the best compromise between convenience and low interference.

Auto Reconnect Mode

* Auto Reconnect On

Auto Reconnect Off

Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without

user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.

Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.

The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Event Auto Reconnect On Auto Reconnect Off

or Access Point is powered off. Trigger must be pulled to initiate relinking.

Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base or an Access Point. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base or an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.

Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until

the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-11) expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a base or an Access Point typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.

Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to a base unit or Access Point. An

extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.

Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples

Default values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.

Maximum Link Attempts set to 15 Other values at default setting

When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.

Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0 Maximum Link Attempts set to 15 Other values at default setting

When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-24, to review other events that can start the relink process.

The scanner attempts to connect to the base or Access Point every 15 seconds, measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the scanner powers off.

3 - 25

Host Acknowledgment

Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar code data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different ways.

Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.

The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:

• The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).

• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.

• Host ACK must be set to On (page 3-27).

• A comma must be used as a terminator.

• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape commands to the scanner.

Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via “Application Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command. Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own group in Host ACK mode.

The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 3-27. The [ESC] is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y [ESC] x, where “y” is the application work group number, “[ESC] x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator, which is required. (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default Application Work Group 0.)

Example: Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An example of a command string is listed

Example: A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required if the item is not on file. In this

When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).

Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a bar code is scanned:

• The scanner reads the code and sends data to the base or Access Point to transmit to the host system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a successful read.

• Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system or 2) the scanner times out.

• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, and the process repeats.

A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an error tone. If a time-out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received.

User-Specified Good Read Delay

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.

Read Time-Out

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. Default = Manual Trigger-Normal.

LED Illumination - Manual Trigger

If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below. This sets the LED illumination for the scanner when the trigger is pressed. Default = High.

Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera. The lower the ambient light in the room, the brighter the LEDs need to be so

the scanner can “see” the bar codes.

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 10-3). When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Sensitivity

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the battery will not charge unless the power supply is

plugged into the base’s auxiliary power port.

Scan the following bar code to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.

Idle Illumination - Presentation Mode

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the LED illumination for the scanner when it is in an idle state in Presentation Mode.

Default = High.

Note: If you use one of the lower Idle Illumination settings, and there is not enough ambient light, the scanner may have

difficulty detecting when a bar code is presented to it. If the scanner has difficulty “waking up” to read bar codes, you may need to set the Idle Illumination to a brighter setting.

Presentation Sensitivity

Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.

Presentation Centering

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering (page 4-14).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.

This setting does not affect 1D bar

code reading. Default = Poor Quality PDF Reading Off.

CodeGate

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 Off Out-of-Stand.

Mobile Phone Read Mode

When this mode is selected, your scanner is optimized to read bar codes from mobile phone or other LED displays. However, the speed of scanning printed bar codes may be slightly lower when this mode is enabled.

Note: To turn off Mobil Phone Read Mode, scan the Manual Trigger Mode bar code (see page 4-5).

Hands Free Time-Out

The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pressed when using a hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger presses) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.

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 Presentation Mode (see page 4-

6). 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.

2D Reread Delay

Sometimes 2D bar codes can take longer to read than other bar codes. If you wish to set a separate Reread Delay for 2D bar codes, scan one of the programming codes that follows. 2D Reread Delay Off indicates that the time set for Reread

Delay is used for both 1D and 2D bar codes. Default = 2D Reread Delay Off.

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 4-12), the deactivation character is received (see Deactivation Character on page 4-12), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use char- acter 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-3, 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.

When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the laser turns off and stops scanning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the laser remains on after a good

read. Default = End Character Activation After Good Read.

Character Activation Laser Timeout

You can set a timeout for the length of time the laser remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when using Character Activation Mode. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5000 ms.

Note: This setting does not affect the aimer light. The aiming light can be set using Aimer Mode (below).

Aimer Delay

The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is pulled and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but

the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over. Default = Off.

User-Specified Aimer Delay

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation Centering (page 4-6).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. 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 top, bottom, 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.

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-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 200 characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-2). 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-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 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-3.

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 8-2. When the

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

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.

Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.

User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

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 6-3) 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 you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data

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 6-9 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 6-3) 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: 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.

Note: If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length

6 - 1

from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a

universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 6-3). 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.

Stop replacing characters

E5 Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5.

Compare characters

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), beginning 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.

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

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