RS232 Protocol
Communication setting
problem

The scanner appears to be working in the RS-232 interface, but no data
is output.

Ensure the correct RS-232 communication parameters
have been set: Baud Rate, Handshaking, Stop Bits, Data
Bits, and Parity. These settings must be the same for both
the scanner and the host.

CLONING MODE

FORMAT OF CLONING

WHAT IS CLONING MODE?

CLONING duplicates a scanners settings in other scanners. It can
save time when a number of scanners must be programmed to the
same settings.

HOW SHOULD CLONING WORK?

1. Using this guide, make all the necessary settings for one wand.

2. Scan the CLONING MODE bar code shown below.

3. When CLONING MODE is scanned, all setup parameters will be
converted to alphanumeric characters and shown on the monitor.

4. Using a bar code printer, print out all the setup parameters as
Code 39 bar code labels.

5. Scan the printed labels sequentially with each wand to be
programmed.

Figure 1

CLONING MODE

CLONING MODE ON- PC/ AT

.A018$(Cloning Mode on PC/AT) - you can clone the settings to a PC/AT
regardless of the kind of device chosen on the scanner.

NOTES:

1. All cloning strings are upper case.

2. All cloning strings printed on labels should be the same as those on
the monitor sequentially from first to last.

3. Cloning mode works in Word Note Pad only.

4. Never edit the data on the first row (.A017$). It is an entry command
for cloning.

5. The cloning string’s length can be adjusted by combining multiple
strings into one, or by breaking one string into multiple strings starting

from the second row after “....”. Length must be in sequences of four,

such as 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 (MAX).

6. Be sure to print the dots exactly where they are shown on the monitor.

* Format of Cloning:
1st row >>> “.A017$” ( never edit any data of the first row )

2nd row >>> “....XXXX” you can adjust the String’s Length starting

from the dots “....” forward. The length of the string should

be in 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 ( MAX )digits.
3rd row ~ so on >>> XXXX
End row - A dot “.” Is the ending of cloning.

XXXX Stands for any string

CORRECT SETTING

WRONG SETTING

EXAMPLE :

1. PROJECT ASSIGNMENTS:

1.1. Beep tone: BEEP LOW -- HIGH.

1.2. Capslock Mode: CAPSLOCK ON.

1.3. Reading Mode: CONTINUOUS AUTO OFF .

2. SETTING PROCEDURE:

2.1. Scan BEEP LOW -- HIGH (GROUP 3)(page13).

2.2. Scan CAPSLOCK ON (GROUP 11).

2.3. Scan CONTINUOUS AUTO OFF (GROUP2)(page10).

3. All parameters will be converted to alphanumeric characters
and shown on the monitor.

4. Print the results shown on the monitor as bar codes with a bar
code printer. The bar codes should be in the Code 39 symbology.

5. Scan these labels with any of the wands that must be
programmed with the same settings as the first wand. Be sure
to scan from the first row to the second and so on sequentially,
top to bottom.

ABC-CODABAR (American Blood Commission). The ABC
Code is an acronym for American Blood Commission. This
bar code is a variant of the CODABAR Code developed for
the use in the blood bank. This Code consists of two bar codes
which are decoded in one read cycle. The code is concatenated
when the stop character of the first bar code and the start
character of the second bar code is a “ D ”, these two “ D ” are
not transmitted.

The CX-Code consists of two bar codes which are decoded
in one read cycle, the code is concatenated when the stop
character of the first bar code is a C, and the start character
of the second bar code is a B. The B and C characters are
not transmitted.

GENERAL PROCEDURES

Our Barcode Scanners are simple to install and use.
Most operational issues can be attributed to:

GROUP-45

INCORRECT INTERFACE CONNECTION
INCORRECT CONFIGURATION SETUP
POOR BARCODE QUALITY

KEYBOARD INTERFACES
PROBLEMS

1.

First, make sure the scanner is Ƥrmly connected to the host
computer, when attached correctly, the scanner will emit
one long beep. When the trigger is pressed, LED will ƪash.

2.

Once the power is on, try scanning some sample bar codes
from this user’s guide. The scanner should beep and the
LED should ƪash to indicate a good read in the default
conƤguration. If reading the bar code does not result in
a good read, there may have been a problem with the
scanning technique or the interface conƤguration setting.
Reset the scanner to default.

3.

If the scanner indicates a good read, but there is no output

of data to the monitor, please check the cabling connection.

In general, the Keyboard Wedge interface is trouble free, but
there is still something to check in the event of a problem:

Do you have the correct cable?

Most computers use an XT/AT-compatible keyboard. Be sure
you have the proper cable for your computer.

Does the keyboard work?

Since the keyed-in data from keyboard must pass through the
decoder, the cabling connections are correct if the keyboard is
functioning.

Can your computer accept the data fast enough?

Your computer’s BIOS has a feature related to keyboard typing
speed. Try to set the Intercharacter Delay feature to stimulate
the keystroke entry speed.

Does keyboard port supply enough power?

Most notebook computers do not supply enough power to the
scanner. The symptom of insuƥcient power is a lower “good
read” rate (since there is not enough power to properly support
the scanning operation).

TROUBLE SHOOTING

64

GROUP-46

TROUBLE SHOOTING

RS232 INTERFACE PROBLEMS

INTERFACE PROBLEMS

CONFIGURATION SETUP

Once you read bar code, there is no output on the monitor,
the symptoms may be caused by:

1. Have you set the protocol of RS232 like Baud rate, data bits,
parity and handshaking etc. of a scanner to match to the PC
terminal setting?
Solution: reset the above mentioned RS232 protocol of scanner
to match to PC protocol.

2. Please check if the cable pinout assignment of bar code match
to the pinout assignment of PC terminal?

No power supply to the scanner:

1. Do you connect the right power adaptor to the scanner?

2. Does scanner connect the cable with right pinout which match
to PC terminal?

Are you using the Wand Emulation mode with Code 39 output?
If so, is your decoder set to accept Code 39 data?

Check the scanner’s conƤguration setting to make sure it can accept
the bar code symbology you are trying to read.

Although the cable seems to connect properly, does the scanner
not send data to the host computer?

There are no industrial standards for scanner interface cables, so even
if they look alike and have similar connector, they might not be alike.
For example, cables for Keyboard Wedge and Wand Emulation are
similar, but they are not interchangeable due to diơerent pin
assignments.
Be sure the cable you are using attaches correctly to the matching
connector.

Are you set up for the right Interface?

Are you set up for the right interface? Did you select the Keyboard
Wedge cable but set the scanner for RS-232 or Wand Emulation?
Or did you change the Keyboard cable to RS-232 but forget to set
the scanner interface to RS-232 as well? Set the scanner to its default
settings, then select the correct interface based upon the cable and
input you are using.

Symptom ---- The LED lighting is stuck, and no function at all,
even triggered the scanner.

Solution ---- Set the scanner to default condition, and choose
the right interfaces.

65

GROUP-47

TROUBLE SHOOTING

POOR BAR CODE QUALITY

Is the proper symbology enabled?

Each bar code symbology can be individually enabled or
disabled. It is suggested that you enable only those that you
will be scanning, thereby eliminating the possibility of mis
reads from the scanning of other symbologies.

Does the selected bar code symbology conƤguration match
the bar code(s) being read?

Scanned data from each bar code symbology can be restricted
to eliminate the scanning of unused symbologies.
The restrictions are individually set for each symbology.

The third problem area has nothing to do with the scanner, but rather
the printed quality of the bar code and/or the scanning technique
employed.

TOLERANCE OF BAR CODE

A bar code may have a tolerance. Normally, the tolerances are
caused by bar code font software or a printer. Software with a
proven reputation should be chosen to generate bar codes. If the
printed bar codes are distorted, the scanner might not recognize
them.

It is very diƥcult to get a good read from a poor quality bar code
unless it is scanned many times. As the quality of the symbology
drops, the chances for undetected error increase. A bar code Check
Digit VeriƤcation (CDV) should be used to check the quality of
the suspect bar codes.

LABELS (PAPER & COLOR & PRINTER)

The light source of a bar code scanner is generally red, so there are
some restrictions for the printing of labels. Care should be taken
when choosing materials, especially color inks and papers.
Sometimes the combination of the label color and the color of
the ink can, in eơect, blind the scanner. Media with a shiny surface
will also cause reading diƥculties for scanners.

Moreover, poor printing quality can also result in reading diƥculties
for the scanner. Bad printing may be caused by the type of printer
used; dot matrix and inkjet printers will not procedure high quality
bar codes. Also check to make sure the ink, ribbon, or toner in
good supply.
