GET STARTED

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Orbit 7120plus and Orbit 7190g hybrid presentation scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common ter­minal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, pro­gramming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpack 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.

Power Information

Use only a Listed Limited Power Source (LPS) or Class 2 type power supply with output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 1
Page 16

Connect the Device

Connect with USB

The scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
a. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner first, then to the USB
port on the computer.
b. The scanner beeps.
c. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols on page 231.
The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 10 for other USB terminal settings.
For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to “USB Applica­tion Note,” available at www.honeywellaidc.com.

Connect with Keyboard Wedge

The scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” where the scanner provides data output that is similar to keyboard entries. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
2 Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide
Page 17
1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the termi­nal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the terminal/ computer.
Note: The power supply must be ordered separately, if needed.
3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.
4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols on page 231. The scanner beeps once.
The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface with a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to bar code data.
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 3
Page 18

Connect with RS232 Serial Port

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.
Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of
terminal/computer.
Note: For RS232, you must use the power supply.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.
This interface programs 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
4 Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide
Page 19

Connect with RS485

The scanner can be connected for an IBM POS terminal interface.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device, then to the computer.
2. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.
3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols on page 231. The scanner beeps once.
For further RS485 settings, refer to RS485,page 8.

Reading Techniques

Present the bar code to the scanner. When using an Orbit 7190g, the LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, the code may not be read.

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 xi) for further information.
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 5
Page 20

Set 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 Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previ­ously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume set­ting will be updated.

Reset 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.

Introduction

This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.

Program the Interface - Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scanner set up for commonly used inter­faces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in
effect.

Keyboard Wedge

If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the bar code below. Keyboard wedge is the default interface.
Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

Keyboard Wedge Modifiers

ALT Mode

If your bar code contains special characters from the extended ASCII chart, for example, an e with an accent grave (è), you will use ALT Mode. (See "Extended ASCII Characters" on page 223.)
Note: Scan the ALT mode bar code after scanning the appropriate Keyboard Country code.
If your keystrokes require the ALT key and 4 characters, scan the 4 Characters bar code. The data is then output with the special character(s). Default = Off.

Keyboard Style

Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 23
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.
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
Page 38
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
Caps Lock
Shift Lock
Automatic Caps Lock
Autocaps via NumLock
Emulate External Keyboard
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).
The Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger­many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external key­board (IBM AT or equivalent).
Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your
computer.

Keyboard Conversion

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

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps
Lock (page 24). Otherwise, your output may not be as expected.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

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 222. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of
the chart). Default = Off.
Note: Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application
requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctua­tion), select 7 data bits. For applications that require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. Default =
None.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out
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.

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 30) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume. Default = RTS/CTS Off.
RS232 Timeout
When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a time­out by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-5100 milli­seconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

Page 45

ACK/NAK

* XON/XOFF Off
ACK/NAK On
* ACK/NAK Off
* Packet Mode Off
Packet Mode On
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

Scanner to Bioptic Communication

The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell scan­ners and bioptic scanners.
Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 timeout must be set to
3000 in order to communicate with a bioptic scanner. See RS232 Modifiers on page 27, and RS232 Timeout on page 30 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 Off
Bioptic ACK/NAK On
ACK/NAK Timeout
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 1­30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 5100.

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 from the Programming
Chart, beginning on page 233. 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 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233. Default = 1.

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner by using a serial trigger command (see Trigger
Commands on page 186). 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 by 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 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Presentation Mode
Note: Presentation Mode is not supported by the Orbit 7120plus scanner.
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 37
Presentation Mode uses laser or scanner illumination to detect bar codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a bar code is presented to the scan­ner, then the LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Scan the following bar code to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.

When Off is selected, the scanner remains powered on.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Illumination Lights are set to off.

Presentation LED Behavior after Decode

Note: This feature is not supported by the Orbit 7120plus scanner.
If you wish to turn off the LEDs immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off bar code, below. Default = LEDs Off.

Presentation Sensitivity

Note: This feature is not supported by the Orbit 7120plus scanner.
38 Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide
Page 53
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scan-
Sensitivity
ner'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
Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive set-
ting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 5.

Presentation Centering

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the imager only reads codes that pass through the centering win­dow you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of
Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Win­dow bar codes.
Example: In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window
has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

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

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same 1D bar code a sec­ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same 1D bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive 1D bar code scanning is required. Reread Delay only works when in a Presentation Mode (see page 37). Default =
Short.

Page 58

Host Acknowledgment

* Lights On
Lights Off
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar code data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowl­edgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a num­ber of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
• The scanner 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 45).
• 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.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 45. The [ESC] is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is [ESC] x, where “[ESC] x” is the escape com­mand and the comma is the terminator, which is required.
Example: Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An
example of a command string is listed below.
• [ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,
The above example will make a scanner zero beep low, then medium, then high.
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 case,
• [ESC]7, is sent from the host to the scanner for an on-file product
• [ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent from the host to the scanner for a not-on-file product

When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the
Host ACK On
* Host ACK Off

Host ACK Timeout

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 system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a successful read.
• Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system or 2) the scanner times out.
• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, and the process repeats.
A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an error tone. If a time-out occurs, the oper­ator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received.

Host ACK On/Off

Host ACK Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the scanner waits for a valid escape command when using Host Acknowledgment Mode. Set the length (in seconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting the timeout (from 1-90 seconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, then scanning Save. Default = 10.

Character Activation Mode

Y2ou 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 47), the deactivation character is received (see Deactivation Character on page 48), 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 222, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan the

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 Activa-
tion After Good Read, the illumination remains on after a good read. Default = End Character Activation After Good Read.
Character Activation Timeout
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

Single Code Centering

You may wish to force the scanner to beep upon a command sent from the host. If you scan the Beep on BEL On bar code below, the scanner will beep every time a BEL character is received from the host. Default = Beep on BEL Off.

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. Using the Centering features, the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code scanners.)
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in Presentation Mode, see Presentation
Centering (page 39).
Single Code Centering
Scan Single Code Centering to target the bar code closest to the center of the image. Singling out a bar code in this manner increases scanning accuracy when there are multiple bar codes close together.

Custom Centering Settings

Use the following settings to customize your centering window. 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 Cente ring Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

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 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, then scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and

Preferred Symbology

Left of Centering Window
Right of Centering Window
Preferred Symbology On
* Preferred Symbology Off
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, beginning on page 52) 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.

Low Priority Symbology
To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 219, 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, beginning on page 233.
If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart for the next symbology. You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to save your selection. Default = None.
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 Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.

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 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233 to scan these options.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence,page 56).
2. Code I.D. On the Symbology Charts on page 219, 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, beginning on page
233.
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, beginning on page 233.
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 222, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming
Chart, beginning on page 233 to read the alphanumeric combination that
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 53

represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all
A - Code 39
B - Code 128
C - Code 93
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:
SEQBLK sequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”

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 54, 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:

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 are 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.
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.

With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig Cloud for Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 175), 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 Format beginning on page 65). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse

Note: This feature is not supported by the Orbit 7120plus scanner.
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 Standard 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.

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:

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 222, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 59
Page 74
• 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.

Add a Prefix or Suffix

1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 62).
2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 219 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”.
3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
a. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
b. To add the AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
c. To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8.
d. To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: When adding a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading
backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
5. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character.
6. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat the steps above to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

1. Scan Add Suffix.
2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233 to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII
Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 222.
4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

Add LF/CR Suffix to All Symbologies
Add ETX Suffix to All Symbologies
Add STX Prefix to All Symbologies
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.
1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the
Symbology Charts, beginning on page 219) for the symbology from which you
want to clear the prefix or suffix.
3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Line Feed/Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a line feed and carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then pro­grams a line feed and carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

DATA FORMAT

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
68) 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.
Orbit 7120plus/7190g User Guide 65
Page 80
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return
* Default Data Format
to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 67).
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 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233. 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 82 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 68) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 233, 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 219, 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, beginning on page 233.
If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 80).
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.
Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.
Step 5. Length
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, beginning on page 233. For example, 50 characters is entered as
0050.
Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.

All Symbologies

All Symbologies On
All Symbologies Off
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, scan the All Symbologies On code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a particular
symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for that particular symbology.
Note: Scanner performance may reduce by scanning All Symbologies On. Only scan All
Symbologies On when needed.
Note: When All Symbologies On is scanned, 2D Postal Codes are not enabled. 2D Postal
Codes must be enabled separately.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a mis­read.
Example: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
Example: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
