1 - 7

Reading Techniques

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

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

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page 14-1) for further information.

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before each menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom defaults.

When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

Note: If using a cordless system, 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 reestablish 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 settiing 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

tings. 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

* RTS/CTS Off

Two-Direction Flow Control

Flow Control with Timeout

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial 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.

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 2-25) 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.

2 - 24

RS232 Timeout

* XON/XOFF Off

XON/XOFF On

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

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

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 3-5, 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 13-5 for troubleshooting information.

3 - 1

Linking the Scanner to an Access Point

Page Button

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.

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

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is 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

3 - 2

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.

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-topoint 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. Bluetooth Class 2 power level 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 3-15, 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 3-2, for information about linking to an Access Point.

3 - 3

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 3-13.

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 3-13 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-

16). 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 3-9 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 and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.

3 - 4

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 3-7, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

Refer to Charge Only Mode (page 3-11) 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 14-1 for additional information.

Caution:

Use only Honeywell Li-ion battery packs, part number 100000495, 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.

Beeper and LED Sequences and Meaning

The scanner contains LEDs on the top of the unit to indicate its power up, communication, and battery status. Simply stated, red LED = error; green LED = success of any type. The unit’s audible indicators have meaning 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 illumination and beeps for the scanner.

Scanner Modes

The Xenon is capable of working in single scanner mode, multiple scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices other than the CCB01-010BT 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 3-13.

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.

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.

Locked 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.

Default = Open Link Mode

3 - 12

To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See Scanner Modes, page 3-11.)

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

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

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.

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 options for the scanner or the base and to set the alarm duration, scan the appropriate bar

Once the power level is set, you must scan the Reset Base bar code and wait for the scanner to unlink and relink to a base or an Access Point. Once that is done, scan the Reset Scanner bar code and wait for the base or Access Point to unlink and relink to the scanner.

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 3-21). 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.

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.

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 ouptut your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.

Off.

Default = Batch Mode Quantity

Entering Quantities

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.

Multiple Scanner Operation

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.

3 - 21

To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once

Multiple Scanner Operation

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

Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 3-23, or by sending the serial command :Xenon:BT_NAM name for the scanner. If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and repeat the :Xenon:BT_NAM each scanner.

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 (page 10-2), 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.

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.

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.

Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside 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 4-7) 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.

3 - 29

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.

Host Command Acknowledgment

Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions. These applications require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted from the scanner. Turning on Host ACK configures the scanner to respond to commands from the host system.

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 3-32).

• 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 3-32. 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.

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

0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6, The above example will make a scanner in application work group zero beep

low, then medium, then high. Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:

• The scanner reads a 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

Host ACK On

* Host ACK Off

the host system (via the base or Access Point) 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.

Number of Beeps – Good Read

Number of Good Read Beeps/LED Flashes

Number of Error Beeps/LED Flashes

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.
