1 Before you start

Introduction

The MaxiScan 3100 is a range of compact fixed bar code scanners that uses the latest

patented technology and integrated design for fast and accurate scanning. The

Maxiscan 3100 offers a choice of Intermecs linear image (CCD) or laser scanning

technologies that run on a common electronic/software platform. The MaxiScan 3100

is small and tough and is suitable for a number of industrial applications.

This Installation Guide explains how to install and set up your MaxiScan 3100.

You can use the EasySet setup software to set up the MaxiScan 3100.

Integration considerations

Environment Make sure the operating environment is suitable for the MaxiScan

Reading distance High-density bar codes require a shorter reading distance than

3100 (see the Technical characteristics section).

low-density bar codes. Reading distance is less critical for me-

dium density bar codes (see the Reading distance section).

Reading filters To optimize reading efficiency, activate a optimization filter when

you set up your MaxiScan. There are filters for barcode density,

contrast and reading distance. If you have problems reading a

barcode, try a different filter.

Setup Test the setup before you install the MaxiScan permanently.

Symbologies  Use the symbologies best suited to your application. Some

symbologies (Interleaved 2 of 5 for example) are less reliable

than others.

 Use as few symbologies as possible.

 Fixed barcode lengths and check digits increase reading

efficiency and security.

I/O synchronization  An external input synchronization device can be used to

activate the MaxiScan 3100.

 The MaxiScan 3100 can send a synchronization output to

control external devices according to the read result.

 See the Input/output synchronization section.

time to read each bar code several times (5 scans is a good minimum). You can

5 Setup

There are 3 different ways to set up your MaxiScan 3100 :

 Online setup with EasySet

 Offline setup

 Online setup with commands

EasySet System configuration software is the easiest way to set up your MaxiScan

3100. You can download your custom settings directly to the MaxiScan 3100 or print

out and scan the corresponding configuration bar codes.

The Basic setup section of this manual contains the barcodes to set up your MaxiScan

3100 in a basic configuration.

If you want to configure your MaxiScan 3100 dynamically, or if your MaxiScan 3100 is

not connected to a PC, use the slave mode to send setup commands directly to your

MaxiScan 3100 (see the Slave mode section).

6 Slave mode

You can control or configure your MaxiScan 3100 directly from the terminal host system

using slave mode. In this mode all the setup commands can be sent directly to the

MaxiScan 3100 through the RS-232 input port. The default slave mode is security

slave mode.

 Security slave mode is based on Code 128. It includes start/stop characters and a

checksum described in the document AFNOR Z63.300/EN 799 /USS.

 Debug slave mode is easy to monitor but less secure than the security mode (no

start/stop characters or checksum).

Security slave mode

1. Find the data string and checksum of the setup commands you want to send to the

MaxiScan 3100. Activate the "display data string mode" to display the data string

and checksum on a terminal screen (or calculate the checksum yourself, see the

Calculating the checksum section below)

display data string

This mode remains active until you switch off the MaxiScan 3100.

Example: command "Code 39  active" = \41\4C\60\5E (5E = checksum)

2. Remove the backslash separator characters from the data strings and adapt each

string to the security slave mode format:

start command checksum stop

0x68 x...x xx 0x6A

Example: command "Code 39  active" = 68 41 4C 60 5E 6A

3. Activate the security slave mode (if not already active) and set the RS-232 output

parameters to suit your system (if required)

security slave mode (9600, 7, E, 2) - interface n° 105

MaxiScan 3100 - Installation Guide 31

6 Slave mode

4. Send the setup commands from the host terminal to the MaxiScan 3100.

Note: the values displayed in display data string mode are hexadecimal values,

make sure that the values you send from the host system correspond to these

values. In our example, the MaxiScan 3100 must receive the hexadecimal value

41 or its equivalent (ASCII character A for example), not the decimal value 41.

To restart the MaxiScan 3100 after changing the interface configuration, send the

"restart" command 0x68 0x4C 0x41 0x60 0x53 0x6A (this is equivalent to deconnecting

and reconnecting the MaxiScan 3100).

Calculating the checksum

If you do not use "display data string mode", you will have to calculate the checksum

yourself:

1. Use the EasySet "View - Data String" command to obtain the data strings for the

setup commands you want to send to the MaxiScan 3100.

Example: command Code 39  active = \41\4C\60

2. Calculate the weighted sum of the data string values (weight increases by 1 for

each successive value) and include startB with weight 1 at the beginning:

:gnirtsatad Btrats14x0C4x006x0
:thgiew 11 23
:eulav*thgiew )86x0*1(+)14x0*1(+)C4x0*2(+)06x0*3(=162x0

3. Calculate the modulo 103 value (modulo 67 hex)of the sum:

0x261 modulo 0x67 = 0x5E (= checksum)

(0x261 / 0x67 = 0x5 with remainder 0x5E)

4. Add the checksum to the data string

Example: "Code 39 - active" = \41\4C\60\5E

32 MaxiScan 3100 - Installation Guide

Debug slave mode

1. Use the EasySet "View - Data String" command to obtain the data strings for the

2. Activate the debug slave mode (if not already active) and set the RS-232 output

3. Send the commands in ASCII format from the host terminal to the MaxiScan 3100.

To save the new configuration, send the "update current configuration" command to

the MaxiScan 3100 (\46\41\02\60).

6 Slave mode

setup commands you want to send to the MaxiScan 3100.

Example: command "Code 39  active" = \41\4C\60

8 Conversion cable (RS-232 C to RS-422/485)

RS-422 host cable connector

The user must provide the connection between the conversion cable and the host

system. If this cable is long, install a resistor between pins 1 and 2. The resistor should

have the characteristic impedance of the cable.

RS-485 host cable connector

The user must provide the connection between the conversion cable and the host

system. Connect pins 1 and 2 and connect pins 3 and 4 of this cable. If the cable is

long, install a resistor between pins 1 and 2. The resistor should have the characteristic

impedance of the cable.
