Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Voyager 1602g scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.

Note: The selections in this User’s Guide are dependent on the Voyager 1602g model you have purchased. PDF and 2

dimensional bar codes can only be read by model 1602g2D and cannot be read by model 1602g1D.

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.

Charging the Scanner Battery

The scanner’s battery must be fully charged before the first use. It can be charged using a power supply or by connecting the USB cable to a computer. Refer to About the Battery on page 3-4 for further battery information.

Charging with a Power Supply

Connect the mini-USB connector to the scanner. Assemble the wall plug. Attach the plug to the USB connector, then plug into an electrical outlet, as shown below.

1 - 1

Charging with a PC

Charging your scanner battery through the USB port of a computer will take longer than charging with an electrical outlet. Connect the mini-USB connector to the scanner and the USB connector to the computer, as shown below.

Note: The mini-USB connector is only used for charging the scanner. If using a scanner in corded mode, it can also be

used to configure the device via EZConfig (see page 8-3 for further information).

Battery Charge Indicator

When the battery is charging, the small LED at the top left of the scanner flashes orange. When the battery is fully charged, this LED is solid green. 3-6) for the complete list of LED indications.

Refer to Scan LED Sequences and Meaning (page 3-6) and Low Battery Indicator (page

To use your scanner with a Honeywell Access Point (AP01-XXXBT), refer to Host ACK Responses, page 3-22 or Linking the

Scanner to an Access Point, page 3-13.

Pairing the Scanner with Bluetooth®Devices

Bluetooth HID Keyboard

Connect

Bluetooth HID Japanese

Keyboard Connect

Bluetooth PIN Code

The scanner can be paired with Bluetooth devices such as personal computers, laptops, tablets, and Apple® devices.

1. Scan the appropriate Bluetooth Connect bar code below to establish one-way communication with the Voyager 1602g.

Note: If you want to use an Apple app or you are a developer creating an Apple app to communicate with the VG1602g, you

would use SPP to establish two-way communication to control the scanner through that application. See Pairing the

Scanner with an Apple Device Using SPP on page 1-4.

2. Set your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or Apple device so it searches for other Bluetooth devices. (Refer to your device’s User’s Guide for pairing instructions.)

3. Once your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or Apple device has located the scanner, select the scanner name. Some personal computers, laptops, or tablets will automatically pair with the scanner. If your device automatically pairs with the scanner, it displays a successful pairing message and you do not need to continue to the next step.

4. If your personal computer, laptop, or tablet does not automatically pair with the scanner, a PIN is displayed. This PIN must be scanned within 60 seconds. You must quickly scan Bluetooth PIN Code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) for the

PIN code from the chart below, then scan the Save bar code.

1 - 3

Your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or Apple device should now be paired with the scanner.

Pair with Apple Device

Using SPP

Once the scanner battery is charged and you have paired it, you may begin scanning bar codes. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.

Pairing the Scanner with an Apple Device Using SPP

Serial port protocol, or SPP, is used to establish two-way Bluetooth communication with the scanner. If you want to use an Apple app or you are a developer creating an Apple app to communicate with the VG1602, use SPP to control the scanner through that application. This feature is only available with Apple's MFI-certified devices. Consult Apple to determine if your device is MFI-certified. Scan the bar code below to pair the Voyager 1602g with an Apple device using SPP.

Once the Apple device is connected to the Voyager 1602g using SPP, you must select the app that will be used to send commands to and receive responses from the scanner. To disconnect the association between the scanner and the app, use Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect on page 3-1.

Reading Techniques

Scan button

Linear bar codes

with aiming beam

2D Matrix symbol with aiming beam

The Voyager 1602g has a large scan button just forward of a smaller, programmable button. (See Programmable Button on page 4-1 for further information about the programmable button.)

Press the scan button to project an aiming beam. This beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the scanner. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the scanner. 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 scan button, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page -ix) 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: The Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups Scanning the Save Defaults bar code also causes both the

scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See

Wireless 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: The Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups Scanning the Save Defaults bar code also causes both the

scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See

Wireless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

Programming the Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to program your scanner for different keyboards and settings, and for an interface when using an Access Point (see Programming an Interface for an Access Point, beginning on page 2-12). The VG1602g is primarily designed as a cordless scanner. However, if you are using the VG1602g as a corded scanner, see Programming the VG1602 Corded

Interface beginning on page 2-23.

Keyboard Country Layout

If your interface is USB Keyboard or Keyboard Wedge through an Access Point, or a Bluetooth Keyboard, your keyboard layout default is a US keyboard. To change this layout, refer to the chart below for your keyboard country. Scan the appropriate bar code below to change the layout.

By default, national character replacements are used for the following characters: #$@[\]^‘{|}~ See ISO 2022/ISO 646

Character Replacements on page A-7 to view the character replacements for each country.

Keyboard Style

This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.

2 - 8

Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

* Regular

Caps Lock

Shift Lock

Automatic Caps Lock

Autocaps via NumLock

Emulate External Keyboard

Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).

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 the host system.

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 2-9). Otherwise, your

output may not be as expected.

Control Character Output

This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252) on page A-3. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of the chart). Default = Off.

Note: Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.

Keyboard Modifiers

This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.

Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252), page A-3 for CTRL+ X Values.

Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it does not translate prefix or suffix information.

Default = Control + X Mode Off.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

Flow Control, No Timeout

Two-Direction Flow Control

Flow Control with Timeout

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A scan button push or serial trigger command 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.

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 2-21) 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.

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 15100 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 contin-

ues 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.

The following Scanner to Bioptic Communication settings should only be used when connecting through an Access Point. They 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 2-18, 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.

Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Timeout

This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for a bioptic scanner’s ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar code below, then set the timeout (from 1-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 5100.

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity

* Auto Reconnect On

Auto Reconnect Off

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

Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.

Auto Reconnect Mode

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

Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a host. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a host. 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 host. Pressing the scan button, scanning a host linking bar code, or pairing the scanner with a host resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.

back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.

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 3-9) 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 scan button press.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a host 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 host. 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

Note: See Batch Mode on page 3-16 for information about using Batch Mode.

Default values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the host. 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 host. 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 host, 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 scan button is pressed, 15 attempts are made to link to the host. 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 host, 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

The scanner attempts to connect to the host every 15 seconds, measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start.

After one half hour, the scanner powers off.

Communication Between the Scanner and the Host

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system. The wireless 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 only that the bar code has been scanned correctly.

When using an Access Point, the host also acknowledges when it has received the data. The wireless scanner recognizes data acknowledgment (ACK) from the host. If an Access Point cannot determine that the data has been properly sent to the host, the scanner issues an error tone. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host.

Programming the Scanner and Host

When using the scanner and host together as a system, menu parameters and configuration settings are stored in the host. If the scanner is not linked to a host, configuration settings are stored in the scanner.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The wireless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio utilizing adaptive frequency hopping (APH) to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the host. Designed for point-to-point and multiple point-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. This makes the wireless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. The communication range between the scanner and host, depending on the environment, is 33 feet (10m). See Flexible Power Management, page 3-10, for information about controlling this range.

System Conditions

The components of the wireless system interact in specific ways as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two hosts. The following information explains the wireless system operating conditions.

Scanner Is Out of Range

The wireless scanner is in communication with its host, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the host 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 that there was no communication with the host. Refer to Out-of-Range

Alarm, page 3-8 and Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-2.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner relinks if the scanner or the host 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 3-8 and Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-2 for further information.

Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On

Note: See Batch Mode, beginning on page 3-16, for further information.

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 host when back in range.

You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you press the scan button 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 host.

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.

3 - 4

Power is supplied to the wireless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner. Batteries are not shipped

fully 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 plugged into a wall outlet or into a host via the USB cable. Refer to

Low Battery Indicator, page 3-6, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

Plug the scanner in 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 scanner through the USB interface cable instead of using an external power supply, 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.

• 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 -ix for additional information.

Caution:

Use only Honeywell Li-ion battery packs, part number 3H21-00000112, or 163480-0001, rated 3.7 Vdc,

2.77Whr 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 and Repair (page -ix) 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.

Beeper and LED Sequences and Meaning

The scanner contains 2 LEDs on the top of the unit that indicate linking status, decoding state, and battery condition. There are audible indicators as well: 1 razz or error tone = error; 2 beeps = menu change; 1 beep = all other successes.

The table below lists the indication and cause of the LED indicators and beeps for the scanner.

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.

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner

When you scan the bar code below, only the linked scanner can connect to the host and other scanners are blocked from being linked to that host.

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

Unlinking the Scanner, below.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When in Open Link - Single Scanner Mode, each time a scanner is paired with a host, the scanner becomes linked to the host and the old scanner is unlinked.

Unlinking the Scanner

If a host 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 host. To unlink the scanner from a host, scan the Unlink Scan- ner bar code below.

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

Out-of-Range Alarm

Note: This feature is only supported by a Honeywell Access Point (AP). See Access Point Operations, beginning on page 3-13

for further information.

If your scanner is out range of the AP, an alarm sounds from the scanner. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer to the AP, when the AP links to another scanner, or when the alarm duration expires. To set the alarm duration, scan the bar code below and then set the time-out duration (from 0-3000 seconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back

cover, then scanning Save. Default = 0 sec (no 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

because the data could not be communicated to the AP.

Alarm Sound Type

Change the alarm type by scanning the following bar code 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:

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 host as shown in the following illustration:

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the scanner’s power output to Full Power (100%), Medium Power (35%), Medium Low Power (5%), or Low Power (1%). Default = Full Power.

Multiple Scanner Operation

Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one 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 current host and must be paired with a host 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 specific commands sent from the host.

host and they all have the same name, the first scanner linked to the host receives commands. When renaming a series of scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the host.

Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 3-11, 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.

Scan the Reset code after each name change

and wait for the scanner to relink to the host before scanning a bar code to rename the next scanner.

You may also scan the Scanner Name bar code below and scan a number for the scanner name. For example, if you wanted to 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 host.

Group 6

Note: Application Work Groups can only be used with an Access Point.

Your wireless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one host. 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 one 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 8-2), 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 host, the scanner is updated with the latest settings from the host for its work group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the host. If a scanner is removed from a host and linked to another host, it will be updated with the new host 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 host, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second host with the associated settings.

Application Work Group Selection

This programming selection allows you to assign a scanner to a work group by scanning the bar code below. You may then program the settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires.

Default = Group 0.

To see what the factory default settings are, refer to the table of Menu Commands, beginning on page 9-4. The standard prod- uct default settings for each of the commands are indicated by an asterisk (*).

Note: Scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must

relink (pair) the scanner to the host. Refer to Bluetooth Settings, page 3-1 for additional information. If your scanner is in multiple scanner mode, you will hear up to 30 seconds of beeping while all scanners are relinked to the host and the settings are changed.

Resetting the Custom Defaults: All Application Work Groups

If you want the custom default settings restored to all of the work groups, scan the Custom Product Default Settings bar code below. (If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the work groups to the factory defaults.) See Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-6 for further information about custom defaults.

Note: Scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must

relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See Bluetooth Settings, page 3-1 for additional information. If your scanner is in multiple scanner mode, you will hear up to 30 seconds of beeping while all scanners are relinked to the host and the settings are changed.

Access Point Operations

The Voyager 1602g can pair with a Honeywell Access Point (AP01-010BT or AP01-100BT), which provides 2-way communication between the scanner and host.

Linking the Scanner to an Access Point

Turn on the host 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.

ner. 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.

If the Access Point sounds 5 error tones followed by 3 beeps, it indicates that you are attempting to link to the incorrect model Access Point. The Voyager 1602g scanner can only link to an Access Point model AP01-010BT or AP01-100BT.

Disconnect from Host and Connect to an Access Point

If your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop, you must disconnect it in order to communicate with an Access Point. Scan the Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect bar code to unlink the scanner from the cur- rently linked host. Scan the linking bar code on the Access Point to link the scanner to the Access Point.

Replacing a Linked Scanner

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

* Batch Mode Off

Automatic Batch Mode

Inventory Batch Mode

Persistent Batch Mode

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

Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners with one Access Point. When a wireless system is being used

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

Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of the host or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the host 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 host or Access Point so data can be transmitted.

Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the host or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the host or Access Point, scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-20). 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 host 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 host 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 3-20).

Default = Batch Mode Off.

When scanning in Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-16), 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 host 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.

Batch Mode Quantity

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 3-19), 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.

3 - 17

Entering Quantities

Batch Mode Quantity On

Quantity Codes (page 3-19) 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.

Default = 1.

Transmit Records to Host

If you are operating in Inventory Batch Mode (see Inventory Batch Mode on page 3-16), you must scan the following bar code to transmit all the stored data to the host system.

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

Technical Support (page -ix) for additional information.

3 - 20

Host Acknowledgment

Some applications require that the host 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 scanner must be paired with a Honeywell Access Point (AP01-010BT or AP01-100BT).

• The wireless 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 3-22).

• 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 3-22. 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 host. 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 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.

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.

Good Read Delay

This sets the minimum amount of time before the scanner can read another bar code. Default = 0 ms (No Delay).

User-Specified Good Read Delay

If you want to set your own length for the good read 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.

Manual Trigger Modes

* Manual Trigger - Normal

Manual Trigger - Enhanced

Read Time-Out

Poor Quality 1D Reading On

* Poor Quality 1D Reading Off

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read or until the scan button is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is

best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Trigger-Normal.

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the scan button, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 9-3). You must be in a serial interface mode in order to use serial triggering. Refer to RS232 Serial Port (page 2-12) or

USB Serial (page 2-15) for further information. 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 scan button when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the scan button 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.

Poor Quality Codes

Poor Quality 1D Codes

This setting improves the scanner’s ability to read damaged or badly printed linear bar codes. When Poor Quality 1D Reading On is scanned, poor quality linear bar code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snappiness is decreased, mak-

ing it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 2D bar code reading. Default = Poor Quality 1D Reading Off.

When Poor Quality PDF On is scanned, poor quality PDF code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snappiness is decreased, making it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 1D bar

code reading. Default = Poor Quality PDF Reading Off.

CodeGate

When CodeGate is On, the scan button 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 scan button 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 a Manual or Serial Trigger Mode bar code (see page 4-8).

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 4-11), the deactivation character is received (see Deactivation Character on page 4-11), 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-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. Default = 12 [DC2].

End Character Activation After Good Read

After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the illumination can be programmed either to remain on and scanning, or to turn off. When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the illumination turns off and stops scanning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the illumination

remains on after a good read. Default = Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read.

You can set a timeout for the length of time the illumination 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 1-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Character Deactivation Mode

If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, you can also send a deactivation character to stop scanning. Scan the following On bar code to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character (following) to

select the character you will send from the host to terminate scanning. Default = Off.

Deactivation Character

This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation 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 terminate scanning.

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 = 14 [DC4].

Illumination Lights

If you want the illumination lights on while reading a bar code, scan the Lights On bar code, below. However, if you want to turn just the lights off, scan the Lights Off bar code. Default = Lights On.

Note: This setting does not affect the aimer light. The aiming light can be set using Aimer Mode (page 4-12).

The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the scanner before the bar code is read. Use these codes to set the time between when the button is pressed and when the bar code is read. 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

If you want to set your own length for the duration of the delay, scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (0 - 4,000 ms) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save.

Aimer Mode

This feature allows you to turn the aimer on and off. When the Interlaced bar code is scanned, the aimer is interlaced with the illumination LEDs. Default = Interlaced.

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 Aimer Delay, page 4-12, 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 Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

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.

Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.

Preferred Symbology On

* Preferred Symbology Off

High Priority Symbology

The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.

For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the scanner ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 4-15) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.

If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no bar code in the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.

Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.

High Priority Symbology

To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Scan Save to save your selection. Default = None

Low Priority Symbology

To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology you want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

Preferred Symbology Time-out

Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low priority symbologies, you must set the time-out period. This is the period of time the scanner will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority bar code has been encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.

Scan the bar code below to set all Preferred Symbology entries to their default values.

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 scan button while reading each bar code in the sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 4-17).

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

3. Length Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

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

Output Sequence Example

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”

9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths

43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”

FF termination string for third code

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 4-16, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:

Partial Sequence

If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output sequence criteria are met, the bar code data acquired to that point is a “partial sequence.”

Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is terminated before completion. Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the sequence where no data

match occurred will be skipped in the output.)

Require Output Sequence

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.

4 - 17

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.

Multiple Symbols

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single press of the scanner’s button. If you press and hold the button, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the scan button is pressed. When

this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.

No Read

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 8-3), 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 6-1). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video Reverse and Stan- dard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.

Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video

Reverse and Standard Bar Codes in order to read menu bar codes.

Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for decoding only.

Working Orientation

Some bar codes are direction-sensitive. For example, KIX codes and OCR can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use the working orientation settings if your direction-sensitive codes will not usually be presented upright to the scanner.

Default = Upright.

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.

Note: 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. To add a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

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. 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.

5 - 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-3.

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 ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) starting on

page A-3. 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.

* 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 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 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 6-2).

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 6-10 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: 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 are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.

6 - 1

Step 5. Length

Enter Data Format

Save

Discard

Clear One Data Format

Clear All Data Formats

Save

Discard

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 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.

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

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:

6 - 8

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.

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.

Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix.

Data Format 1

Data Format 2

Data Format 3

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.

Single Scan Data Format Change

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

6 - 10

For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as Data Format 3. You can switch to Data Format
