Getting Started

Introduction

The Captuvo Enterprise Sleds include an optional integrated imager for scanning all types of bar codes. You have the capability to configure the scan engine in the sled using the programming bar codes included in this user’s guide; however, the application being used might override the settings you have programmed. An optional magnetic stripe reader (MSR) for reading cards with magnetic stripes is also available.

Out of the Box

Verify that the box contains the following items:

•Captuvo Enterprise Sled

•Charger (if appropriate)

•USB Cable

•Quick Start Guide

•Regulatory Sheet

Note: If you ordered accessories for your sled, verify that they are also included with the order.

Be sure to keep the original packaging in case you need to return the sled for service.

Note: Honeywell is not an authorized Apple repair center. Please return only your sled to us for repair. Honeywell is not liable for any non-Honeywell product shipped to our repair center.

Note: Refer to your Apple device’s documentation for important product and safety information.

Operating Temperature

The maximum operating temperature range for the Captuvo sled is 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F).

1 - 1

Reading Techniques

The sled has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the sled’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.

Linear bar code

2D Matrix symbol

The aiming beam is smaller when the sled 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 sled 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.

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 scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that

1 - 2

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.

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

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

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your sled, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the sled to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the sled to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Activate Custom Defaults

1 - 3

Resetting the Factory Defaults

!	This selection erases all your settings and resets the sled to the original
	factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your sled, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the sled to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the sled to the factory default settings.

Remove Custom Defaults

Activate Defaults

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 6-5 list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

1 - 4

Input/Output Settings

Good Read and Error Indicators

Beeper – Good Read

The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = Beeper - Good Read On.

Beeper - Good Read Off

* Beeper - Good Read On

Beeper Volume – Good Read

The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the sled emits on a good read. Default = High.

Low

Medium

* High

Off

2 - 1

Manual Trigger Mode

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Default = Manual Trigger-Normal.

Manual Trigger - Normal

Mobile Phone Read Mode

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

Hand Held Scanning - Mobile

Phone

Note: To turn off Mobile Phone Read Mode, scan a Manual Trigger Mode bar code (see page 2-2).

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the sled’s field of view to make sure the sled 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.

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

2 - 2

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely through the centering window.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bot-

tom and Right.

Preferred Symbology

The sled 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 sled 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 sled ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 2-5) 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 sled will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no bar code in the sled’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.

2 - 4

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

Preferred Symbology On

* Preferred Symbology Off

High Priority Symbology

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

High Priority Symbology

Low Priority Symbology

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

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

Low Priority Symbology

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 sled will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority bar

2 - 5

code has been encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.

Preferred Symbology Time-out

Preferred Symbology Default

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

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence

When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the sled decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the sled will not transmit the output data to the host device.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

Output Sequence Editor

This programming selection allows you to program the sled 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 sled 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: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.

2 - 6

To Add an Output Sequence

1.Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 2-10).

2.Code I.D.

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

3.Length

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

4.Character Match Sequences

On the ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements, page A-10, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

5.End Output Sequence Editor

Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save to save your entries.

Other Programming Selections

•Discard

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.

2 - 7

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the sled 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.

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:

SEQBLKsequence editor start command

62 code identifier for Code 39

9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths

41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”

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”

FF termination string for second code

69 code identifier for Code 93

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

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

FF termination string for third code

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 2-8, 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:

2 - 8

SEQBLKsequence editor start command

62 code identifier for Code 39

0012 A - Code 39 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12

41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”

FF termination string for first code

6A code identifier for Code 128

0013 B - Code 128 sample length (12) plus CR suffix (1) = 13

42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”

FF termination string for second code

69 code identifier for Code 93

0012 C - Code 93 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12

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

FF termination string for third code

Output Sequence Editor

Enter Sequence

Default Sequence

Partial Sequence

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

Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is terminated before completion. Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the

sequence where no data match occurred will be skipped in the output.)

Transmit Partial Sequence

* Discard Partial Sequence

2 - 9

Require Output Sequence

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the sled will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the sled will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the sled 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 sled decodes it. Default = Off.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

Required

On/Not Required

*Off

Multiple Symbols

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The sled attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned Off, the sled will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.

On

* Off

2 - 10

No Read

With No Read turned On, the sled notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig Tool Scan Data Window (see page 9-3), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.

Default = Off.

On

* Off

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message (see Data Formatting beginning on page 4-1). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse

Video Reverse is used to allow the sled 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.

Working Orientation

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

Upright:

Vertical, Top to Bottom: (Rotate CW 90°)

Upside Down:

Vertical, Bottom to Top: (Rotate CCW 90°)

Default = Upright.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

1	Prefix				Sca
	-11
alpha					nned		Da
		numeric		&	variable		ta
control						length
			characters

Points to Keep In Mind

Su
ffix
1-11
alpha
numeric		&
control
	characters

•It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix = None.

•A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

•You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

•You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

•Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.

•When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

•The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

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

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the

3 - 1

symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.

To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for U.P.C.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

3 - 2

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

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

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the sled’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 outputted automatically. However when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page 4-4) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the sled. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:

1.Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2.Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3.Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4.Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5.Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6.Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7.Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8.Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 4-2).

Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format

4 - 1

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page 4-17 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 4-4) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 4-14).

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 inside the back cover of this manual. For example, 50 characters is entered as 0050.

Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 4-4). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving

your changes.
