Reading Techniques

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

Preliminary Draft

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.

Resetting the Factory Defaults

Restore Factory Defaults

Save Defaults

Preliminary Draft

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory default settings restored, first scan
the Restore Factory Defaults bar code, then scan Save Defaults. This resets
the scanner to the factory defaults.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Save Defaults bar code also

causes both the scanner and the base to perform a reset and become
unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link
before any setup codes are entered. See Cordless System

Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 11-5 list the factory default settings
for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming
pages).

Setting Custom Defaults

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

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 to perform a reset and become
unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link
before any setup codes are entered. 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 ithe 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 Cus­tom Product Default Settings bar code below. This resets the scanner to the

custom defaults. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the
factory defaults. 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 to perform a reset and become unlinked. The
scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link. See Cordless

Preliminary Draft

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.

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 Base Works

The cordless base provides the link between the cordless scanner and the host
system. The base 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 base also is the scanner’s battery charger. Refer to Beeper and LED

Sequences and Meaning, page 3-5, for additional information.

Linking the Scanner to the Base

Turn off power before connecting the 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.

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 has acknowledged receiving the data. This is
possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between
the scanner and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base
unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the
base, 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. Designed for point-to-point and multi­point-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM
band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio
signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system highly
responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to
noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides a communica­tion range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and base/Bluetooth adapter,
depending on the environment.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ­ate a scanner to a base, 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.

3 - 2

Linking Process

!

Preliminary Draft

Once a scanner is placed into the 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.

Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not
transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with
the base 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. In addition, your scanner and base can
sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range

Alarm, page 3-12.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner re-links if the scanner or the base have been reset or the
scanner comes back into range. If the scanner re-links, you will hear a sin­gle chirp when the re-linking process (uploading of the parameter table) is
complete.

OutofRangeandBackintoRange with Batch Mode On

The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C.
symbols; others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the
base when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 3-14).

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.

Page Button

When you press the Page button on the base, the scanners associated with
that base will begin beeping (3 short and 1 long beep). If you pull the trig­ger on a scanner that is beeping in response, that scanner will stop beep­ing. If you press the Page button on the base a second time, all associated
scanners will stop beeping. See Paging on page 3-8 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.

3 - 3

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is inte-

Preliminary Draft

grated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60%
charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to Base LED Sequences and Meaning, page 3­6, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power
supply.

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.

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.

Proper Disposal of the Battery

Preliminary Draft

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

ping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service Department (page 14-

Beeper Pitch - Base Error

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

Number of Beeps - Base Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the base for an error
condition can be programmed from 1 - 9. For example, if you program this
option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED
flashes in response to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan
the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar
code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Preliminary Draft

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 using the Locked Link Mode, other
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed
into the base. If you do place a different scanner into the base, it will
charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.

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

Modes, page 3-10.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and
scanner are not linked. By placing a scanner into the base, they estab­lish a link. Placing a different scanner into the base establishes a new
link and the old scanner is unlinked. Each time a scanner is placed
into the base, it becomes the linked scanner; the old scanner is
unlinked.

Default = Open Link Mode

.

Unlinking the Scanner

If the base 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. To unlink a scanner from the base, scan the
Unlink Scanner bar code below.

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base,
scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner
and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden; the
broken or lost scanner’s link with the base 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. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer to the base,
when the base 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 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. You receive the error tone
since the data could not be communicated to the base or the host.

Alarm Sound Type

If you have set the out-of-range alarm enabled, you may change the alarm
type for the scanner or base by scanning the appropriate bar code below
and then scanning a digit (0-7) bar code and the Save bar code on the

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 the base as shown in the
following illustration:

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the scanner’s power output to Full

Power (100%) [2.5mW, 4dBm], Medium Power (35%) [.875mW, 0dBm],
Medium Low Power (5%) [.125mW, -9dBm], or Low Power (1%, .025mW,

-16dBm).

Default = Full Power.

See Reset Scanner and Base (page 3-14).

Reset Scanner and Base

Once the power level is set, you must scan the Reset Base bar code and
wait for the scanner to unlink and relink to the base. Once that is done,
scan the Reset Scanner bar code and wait for the base 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 when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the base 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. If

a cordless system is being used in "multiple link mode," where up to 7
scanners are to be connected to one base, 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. The data is automatically transmitted to the base 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 so data can be transmitted.

the base. To transmit the stored data to the base, either place the scanner in
the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-19). 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.

Default = Batch Mode Off.

Batch Mode Beep

Scan Batch Mode Beep On to program the scanner to beep when it enters
Batch Mode.

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.

has not been transmitted to the base, 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 3-17), you could
ouptut your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.

Off.

Default = Batch Mode Quantity

Entering Quantities

Quantity Codes (page 3-17) 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.

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.

Note: In most cases, a short (250 ms (milliseconds) delay is ideal; however,

longer delays may be programmed. Contact Technical Support
(page 14-3) for additional information.

Default = Off.

Multiple Scanner Operation

Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to

one base. 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

Multiple Scanner Operation

Preliminary Draft

you scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base and must be
placed into the base to re-link.

Scanner Name

You may assign a name to each scanner you are using. When you have multi­ple scanners linked to one base, you may want to name each scanner so you
will be able to control the scanner receiving imaging commands sent from the
base.

The default name for a Xenon is “Xenon.” If you have more than one scanner
linked to a base, and they all have the default names, the first scanner linked to
the base receives commands. You can change the name of a scanner using a
serial command (refer to Scanner Name, page 11-15) or using a bar code com­mand. To change the name serially, unlink all except one of the scanners from
the base. Send “:Xenon:BT_NAM

Scan the Reset code after each name change and wait for the scanner

Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot

below and scan a number for the scanner name. For example, if you had 7
scanners to one base, scan the bar code below with the first scanner, scan the
1 bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual and
scan Save. Then scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to re-link to

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one base. 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. 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, the scanner is updated with the lat­est settings from the base for its work group. The scanner also receives menu
setting changes processed by the base. If a scanner is removed from one base
and placed into another base, it will be updated with the new base settings for
whatever work group 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.

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scan­ner tries to form a connection with a base unit or PC. During the connec­tion setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and
connect to a base unit. 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 the base unit. Press­ing the trigger or placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count
and the scanner will again try to link to the base unit. When set to zero, the
scanner will try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 4-

7) expires.

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.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between re-link attempts. An
attempt to link a scanner to a base unit typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This
is the time when the scanner is actually attempting to contact base unit.
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. An extra 7 seconds may be required when
a connection is successful.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples

Default values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to
connect to base unit. 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. 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 unit, 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 re-link. When
the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit. 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 unit, but retains any bar codes
that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner
powers off and batch mode data is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect

Mode, page 3-26, to review other events that can start the re-link process.

Auto Reconnect Mode set to 1
Maximum Link Attempts set to 0

Note: See Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 4-7.

The scanner attempts to connect to the base unit every 15 seconds, mea­sured from start of attempt to start of attempt. After one half hour, the
scanner powers off.

Host Command Acknowledgment

Preliminary Draft

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 3-30).

• 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 situation, 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 3-30. 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

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/host system. No
audible or visual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape
command. The scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a successful
read.

• Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from
the host system (via the base) 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.

Manual/Serial Trigger Modes

Manual Trigger

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read,
or until the trigger 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 possi-

is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a
long working range.

Serial Trigger

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial
trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When in serial
mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deacti­vate command is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a
specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

Read Time-Out

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

Default = 30,000 ms.

Scanner Power Time-Out Timer

Note: Scanner Power Time-out Timer only applies to cordless systems.

It does not apply to corded scanners.

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

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

into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the timer is
reset. If the scanner is placed in the charge base cradle and the bat­tery is in the process of being charged, the scanner will not go into
power down mode.

Default = 3600 seconds.

Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to

power the unit back up. There will be a set of power up beeps
and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The
scanner will then be ready to use.

In-Stand Sensor Mode

This feature senses when the scanner is removed from the stand and tells it to
begin manual triggering. When you scan Sensor On, the scanner goes into
manual trigger mode when it is removed from the stand. For example, if the

4 - 8

scanner is programmed for Presentation Mode (page 4-9), it would be in pre-

sentation mode whenever it is in the stand, and in manual trigger mode when­ever it is removed from the stand.

Default = Sensor On.

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs remain
off until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LEDs turn on automat­ically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presen­tation Mode may not work properly.

Note: If you are using a cordless device in Presentation Mode, the battery will

not charge unless the power supply is plugged into the base’s auxiliary
power port.

Presentation LED Behavior after Decode

When a scanner is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue
scanning for a short time after a bar code is decoded. If you wish to turn
the LEDs off immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off
bar code, below.

Default = LEDs On.

Preliminary Draft

Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the
scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity,
scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-

20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting,
and 20 is the least sensitive.

Default = 1.

Streaming Presentation™ Mode

When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scanner’s aimer goes out after a
short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously
search for bar codes. 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.

When using Preferred Symbology (page 4-16), a lower priority symbol must be
centered on the aiming pattern to be read in Streaming Presentation Mode.

Note: If you are using a cordless system, the base must have an external power

supply plugged into the aux port for Streaming Presentation to work
properly.
