Getting Started

The 9710 and 9720 Wedge Readers connect between the computer workstation and the workstation keyboard. The wedge reader transmits information from the bar codes you scan to the computer workstation. The bar code data displays on the monitor in the same format as if it was entered from the workstation keyboard. The wedge reader translates all of the 128 ASCII characters into valid keystrokes.

Preparing for Installation

Your wedge reader package includes the following parts:

• 9710 or 9720 Wedge Reader

• Velcro fasteners

Unpack the shipping carton and verify the contents with the packing slip. Keep the packing box; it is the approved shipping container for the reader. Use this box if you need to return the reader to Intermec.

These items are packaged separately from the reader:

• Wand or scanner

• Adapter cable

• Power supply (if required)

The following figure shows a 9720 Wedge Reader installed in a typical data collection system. Only the 9720 Wedge Reader has a serial port that can connect to a portable reader or a scale.

Getting Started

Using a Power Supply

For most wand and scanner operations, the reader uses power from the workstation. If the workstation cannot supply the required power at +5V for the wand or scanner, the reader requires an additional power supply. Your WIF guide lists the workstations that require an external power supply.

If your workstation requires a power supply with the reader, continue reading this section. Otherwise, skip to “Checking Connections” on page 1-8.

Is Additional Power Required?

Refer to the list below for part numbers of power supplies that support various voltage requirements.

Voltage Part Number

100V 50 to 60 Hz, -15% to +10% 054183

120V 50 to 60 Hz, -15% to +10% 054182

230V 50 Hz, -15% to +10% 054184

To connect a power supply

1. Attach the power supply connector to the power supply receptacle on the reader rear panel.

Identifying the Workstation Type

The default workstation configuration is a null configuration. It is very important that you configure the reader for your particular workstation type before operating the reader with the workstation.

Locate your workstation type configuration bar code in the WIF guide and scan the bar code to configure the reader for your workstation. The reader emits four low beeps to indicate that the configuration was successful. The reader is now ready to read bar codes.

If the reader emits a low/high/low/high beep sequence, the reader failed the self-test. Scan the Null Configuration bar code. Verify that you are using the correct workstation configuration bar code and scan the bar code. If the reader emits the low/high/low/high beep sequence again, contact your Intermec representative.

Null Configuration

9710 and 9720 Wedge Readers Users Manual

Checking Communications

Now you are ready to scan the test bar codes to check communications. The reader emits one high beep each time it successfully translates a bar code. The workstation monitor displays the data with the cursor immediately following the data.

To check communications

1. Scan this bar code:

Test Label

*TEST LABEL*

The workstation monitor displays TEST LABEL.

2. Scan this bar code:

3. Advance the cursor using the cursor control key or tab key on your keyboard to make it easier to see the data.

4. Scan this bar code:

Test Label

*97XX READER*

The workstation monitor displays 97XX READER.

To further demonstrate the operation of the reader, scan any of the bar codes on the ASCII charts located at the back of this manual. These bar codes are in Code 39. The reader interprets the data and transmits it to the workstation monitor.

1-10

Getting Started

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to successfully transmit the test data, review the following checklist.

✓ Check workstation configuration. Cycle power and scan the bar

code for the correct workstation type.

✓ Check the cable connections between the workstation and the

reader and the reader and the input device.

✓ If you are using a power supply, check the power connection to

the reader and the wall outlet.

✓ Verify that the PCB jumper on the reader is set correctly. ✓ Verify that the bar codes are good by scanning the bar codes with

a reader that you know is good.

Mounting the Reader

You can mount the reader vertically or horizontally using Velcro strips or screws.

To mount the reader using Velcro strips

1. Take one set of Velcro strips (leave the set connected), remove the adhesive backing from one side, and apply the set to the reader. Repeat this process with the second set of Velcro strips.

2. Remove the backing from the exposed side of the strips and firmly press the reader to the mounting surface. A good mounting surface is the side of your workstation monitor.

3. Carefully remove the reader from the mounting surface by separating the Velcro strips. Ensure that all four strips are firmly attached to their respective surfaces before remounting the reader.

To mount the reader using wood screws

• For a more permanent mounting, use two #10 wood screws to

attach the reader to a mounting surface. Ensure that the surface you select can handle the alteration. Do not attach the reader to the workstation monitor using wood screws.

9710

The wedge reader is now ready for operation.

1-12

Operating the Reader

The reader is easy to operate. To transmit bar code data to your workstation, you scan bar code labels that contain data, commands, or a combination of both. The data appears on your workstation monitor as if you entered it from the keyboard.

How to Use the Reader

The reader uses two operating states:

• Test and Service

• Standard Operation

Note: Some terminal emulation or network hardware or software can affect the way the workstation operates. This may affect wedge operation.

Test and Service

use this mode to diagnose reader problems. The reader enters Test and Service mode automatically after a self-test failure. A self-test runs at power-on and after a reset. The reader emits a very low beep every 10 seconds to indicate it is in Test and Service mode.

If the reader enters Test and Service, scan the bar code below. The reader resets and executes a self-test. If the self-test fails, the reader returns to Test and Service and you need to contact your Intermec representative.

• scan bar codes to enter data.

• read and decode various bar code symbologies.

• accumulate scanned data into one record.

• transmit accumulated data.

• add a preamble or a postamble to data.

• build a record or a command.

• configure serial port parameters (9720 only).

The reader automatically enters Standard

Reading Bar Codes

The reader can distinguish between two types of bar codes: regular and multiple-read.

Regular bar codes

Typically, the bar code data is transmitted as soon as you scan the bar code. The asterisks (*) are the start and stop characters and are not transmitted or shown on the workstation monitor. Only the reader uses the asterisks to indicate the beginning and the ending points of a bar code. For example, scanning a bar code with the data *TB123* transmits TB123 to the screen.

A regular bar code always takes the form *data*.

Multiple-read bar codes

*spacedata*, where “space” is an encoded space and data is the information you want to enter. Multiple-read bar codes are not transmitted to the workstation monitor immediately, but are held in the reader buffer until the reader receives a transmit command. Multiple-read bar codes allow a record or a command to be built from individual bar codes.

For example, scanning a bar code with the data * TB123* places TB123 in the reader buffer. The reader must receive a transmit command before the data is sent to the workstation. When you scan a transmit command (Enter), TB123 is transmitted to the workstation monitor. If you scan a regular bar code (like *456*), TB123456 is transmitted to the workstation.

Multiple-read bar codes take the form

Operating the Reader

Using Reader Commands

You use the reader to complete specific tasks by scanning bar codes that contain one or more commands. Commands are run in the order they are located in the command string. Command processing stops with the first invalid command or at the end of the string. You can use the following commands with your wedge reader:

Backspace (Destructive)

This command deletes the last character of an accumulated data record. If there is no accumulated data, the command is invalid.

Backspace

*-+*

Change Configuration

This command changes the reader configuration parameters. The Change Configuration command precedes one or more configuration commands in a command string or record. When this command runs, reader parameters are modified, the changes are saved in memory, and the reader is reset to allow the changes to take effect.

Note: This command does not reset the workstation type.

Enter

This command transmits accumulated data as a data record to the workstation. The Enter command is implied when you scan regular bar codes (bar codes without a leading space). If data records are not accumulated or present in a regular bar code, then a null or empty data record is transmitted to the workstation.

Enter

Enter Accumulate

This command adds all subsequent scanned data to the current data buffer until the count exceeds 256 characters, an Enter bar code is scanned, or an Exit Accumulate bar code is scanned. Data exceeding 256 characters causes the reader to emit three low beeps and rejects the last bar code read.

Configuration Parameters

Some of the procedures in this chapter require that you scan a bar code from the Code 39 full ASCII chart located at the back of this manual. When entering data following a command, the data should be enclosed in quotes (as described on page 3-15). The quotes allow the reader to distinguish between data and reader commands.

The following parameters configure the reader to meet your needs. The dagger (†) indicates the factory default setting.

Caps Lock

This parameter enables or disables Caps Lock on the reader. When the Caps Lock setting for the workstation keyboard and the reader agree (both enabled or both disabled), the characters in a scanned bar code are transmitted to the workstation in the same case as they are printed on the label. If the Caps Lock settings do not agree, one of the following symptoms may occur:

• The reader transmits alpha characters to the workstation in the

opposite case that prints on the label, or all characters appear as uppercase characters or lowercase characters.

3-6

Configuring the Reader

• For Data Entry keyboards, letters are converted to numbers or

numbers to letters. (A Data Entry keyboard produces uppercase characters when you press the letter keys and numbers or symbols when you press the left Shift and letter keys.) When using a Data Entry keyboard, use WL0 for alpha mode, and WL1 for numeric/symbol mode.

• Each time you scan a bar code, the workstation keyboard toggles

Caps Lock mode.

• If the keyboard is in Caps Lock mode, the reader transmits Shift

key press-and-release codes to produce uppercase alpha characters that slow down data transmission.

Voting

This paramter defines the number of scans from the same bar code that must be decoded correctly for a “good read.” If you disable voting, the reader accepts the first “good read.” Intermec recommends that you disable voting if you are scanning good quality bar codes.

When you enable voting, the reader decodes the same bar code multiple times during a single-trigger event and compares the decoded information a specific number of times before signalling a “good read.”

To improve scanning performance (but increase the possibility of substitution errors), set the voting low to reduce the number of decodes. To provide extra data security (but slow performance especially on poor quality bar codes), set the voting high. The specific number of comparisons in low and high voting is defined in each bar code symbology.

For example, when you are scanning Code 39 with voting set to low, two successive matching decodes are required. When voting is set to high, three successive matching decodes are required.

Enabling voting is important when scanning poor quality bar codes that may cause substitution errors.

Note: This parameter applies only when using a laser scanner with the reader.

Bar Code Symbologies

This section defines the parameters for the various bar code symbologies the reader decodes. Some of the codes have more than one parameter. The dagger (†) indicates the default setting. For more information on bar code symbologies, refer to The Bar Code Book (Intermec P/N 051241).

Code 11

The Code 11 character set includes ten digits and the dash symbol. This code is not self-checking; data security is obtained by using one or two check digits.

Code 39

Code 39 is an alphanumeric code that is discrete, variable length, and self-checking. The Code 39 non-full ASCII character set includes 43 characters (a start/stop character, ten digits, the uppercase letters of the alphabet, space, and six symbols). The Code 39 full ASCII character set includes all 128 characters of the ASCII character set (listed in the Appendix). The Code 39 configuration has three parameters; the second and third parameters are optional.

The first parameter defines the check digit. Code 39 provides for a modulus 43 check digit. The weighted check digit is used for Automobile Industry Action Group (AIAG) bar codes. Enabling Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) Code 39 automatically disables full ASCII and enables check digit transmission.

Configuring the Reader

The second parameter determines whether the reader transmits the check digit to the workstation or discards the check digit. A check digit is used for performing a mathematical check to ensure the accuracy of the message.

The third parameter can be set to non-full ASCII, mixed full ASCII, or full ASCII.

The Code 39 character set can physically encode 43 data characters: A - Z, 0 - 9, %, $, -, +, /, . (period), and the space character. In non-full ASCII Code 39, the reader interprets the bar code data character for character. For example, the reader interprets the bar code data “123+ABC” as “123+ABC”.

Full ASCII Code 39 encodes all 128 ASCII characters by using $, %, /, and +, along with an upper case letter, to represent a full ASCII character. For example, $A = <SOH>, %A = <ESC>, /A = !, and +A = a. For a complete list of the full ASCII character set, see the ASCII Characters table on page A-7.

In full ASCII Code 39, the reader interprets the bar code data by substituting full ASCII characters for valid ASCII character pairs. For example, the reader interprets the bar code data “123+ABC” as “123aBC”.

The following example shows the different ways the reader interprets the bar code data $%a.

Some bar code printers encode $%a as:

*$%+A*

While other bar code printers encode $%a as:

*/D/E+A*

3-25

9710 and 9720 Wedge Readers Users Manual

If you configure the reader for:

Non-full ASCII

The output from the two bar code examples are the character in the bar code: $%+A and /D/E+A, respectively. Use this configuration if you do not want the reader to evaluate any valid full ASCII character pairs.

Full ASCII

The first bar code example will not decode because each

character (with the exception of upper case letters and numbers) must be encoded with the appropriate full ASCII character pair. The second bar code example will output $%a.

Use this configuration if you want the reader to:

• with full ASCII evaluate bar codes character pairs, and

• read only bar codes encoded with full ASCII character pairs (as

in the second example).

Mixed full ASCII

The reader evaluates both of the bar code examples

as $%a. Use this configuration if you want the reader to:

• evaluate bar codes with full ASCII character pairs, and

• read bar codes regardless of how the bar code is encoded.

Note: If you want the reader to evaluate bar codes differently than the nonfull ASCII configuration, mixed full ASCII is the most common choice.

Note: If you cannot determine how your bar codes are printed, configure the reader for mixed full ASCII. Mixed full ASCII decodes all Code 39 bar codes.

Note: If you are scanning bar codes on the Code 39 full ASCII chart and the workstation monitor displays incorrect characters (for example, +A instead of a), the reader is configured for Code 39 non-full ASCII. Configure the reader for Code 39 full ASCII or mixed full ASCII, to correctly decode all of the Code 39 full ASCII bar codes.

Customizing ASCII to Keyboard Equivalents

The reader ships with internal software that includes definitions of the keystrokes that are invoked when you scan ASCII characters. Common keyboard keystrokes are listed in the keyboard equivalency tables in the Appendix.

The following instructions describe how to display the default ASCII keycode equivalent for any key pressed on the keyboard. The ASCII keycode equivalent is displayed in decimal form. If the key is not supported in the reader, the workstation displays -128.

To display default ASCII keycode equivalents

1. Scan these bar codes.

2. Press the key on the workstation keyboard that you want to display. The workstation monitor displays the ASCII equivalent in decimal form.

3. Check the ASCII character table in the Appendix for the binary or hexadecimal equivalent for the character.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the keys you want.

5. Scan these bar codes to exit the keycode display.

If the reader does not beep within 2 to 10 seconds after scanning the bar codes, cycle power to the workstation.

The a key character is standard for most keyboards. However, there may be some key characters that do not have a readily evident ASCII character equivalent (for example, a function key or a control key).

The ASCII-to-keystroke translation settings can be customized for a specific workstation by changing the default keystrokes of the reader to other keyboard characters. Up to four keystrokes can be mapped to an ASCII character.

The 9710 reader can store twelve keystrokes in EEPROM and the 9720 reader can store 36 keystrokes in EEPROM. The reader sounds one high beep followed by four low beeps after it stores the keystrokes in EEPROM and passes the self-test.

3-46

Configuring the Reader

If you map more than 12 keystrokes on the 9710 reader or 36 keystrokes on the 9720 reader, the additional keystrokes are not stored in EEPROM and will be lost after a power cycle. After you enter the maximum number of keystrokes, the reader emits a high/low beep sequence after each additional alteration to indicate that these are temporary alterations. If you redefine the workstation configuration, the look-up table modifications are deleted.

With some workstations, keypad and/or function keys cannot be

Note:

remapped.

When multiple keys are assigned to one ASCII character:

• You have ten seconds to press the first key, but only one second to

press each following key.

• The Shift key does not count as a keystroke if it is held down

while hitting another key. The shift key only counts as a keystroke if it is pressed and released before pressing another key.

• When multiple keystrokes are mapped to an ASCII character,

scanning that ASCII bar code sends the remapped keystrokes as if the keys were all held down at the same time. For example, if you remap the keystroke sequence Ctrl Alt Delete by pressing and releasing each key individually, when the assigned ASCII character is scanned, the sequence is sent to the workstation as if all three keys were pressed at once: Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

If you are using a Wyse terminal, note the following differences:

• Only one key is allowed to be pressed at a time.

• The shift key does not count as a keystroke when followed by

another key. For example, pressing and releasing Shift then A would be considered one keystroke (A).

With some workstations, the number of keystrokes that can be

Note:

remapped to an ASCII character are reduced when mixing uppercase and lowercase.

If a replacement keystroke is already associated with another ASCII character, that keystroke is active in both places.

Configuring the 9720 Serial Port

This chapter applies only to the 9720 Wedge Reader and describes how to install and configure the wedge reader for use with a scale or portable reader.

Connecting to the Serial Port

The 9720 serial port can be used to receive data from a portable reader or a counting or weighing scale. Data can also be transmitted out the serial port. The serial port is designed to receive data using an RS-232 interface and Point-to-Point protocol.

The table below lists the default serial port configuration parameters.

Before connecting a portable reader or scale to the 9720 wedge reader, it is necessary to connect the wedge reader to the workstation and configure the wedge reader operating parameters. Wedge reader installation is described in Chapter 1.

The serial port connector is located on the wedge reader rear panel. The following figure shows the pin assignments for the 25-pin connector.

You can connect a counting or weighing scale to the 9720 Wedge Reader at the RS-232 serial port and transfer scale data through the reader to the workstation. Operating with a scale does not change your workstation operation or the operation of the accessories you have connected to the wedge reader.

Connect the scale to the wedge reader at the serial port connector located on the wedge reader rear panel. Refer to the figure of the pin assignments for the wedge reader serial port and the installation and operation manuals for your scale for specific information about the type of connector you need to operate your scale with an RS-232 interface.

The serial port connector on the 9720 is configured as DCE.

Uploading Data

When possible, the portable reader or scale should be configured for the default settings of the wedge reader serial port. By carefully configuring and monitoring the portable reader/scale and configuring the wedge reader, you can successfully control the transmission of serial port data through the wedge reader to the workstation. Some applications may require operator interaction to prevent data loss due to slow or unpredictable host or application responses.

Characters received by the wedge reader are held in a buffer until an end of record occurs. End of record is defined by one of the following conditions:

• 256 characters are received.

• Characters are not received within the configured timeout period.

• An end of message (EOM) is received.

Each data record from a scale/portable reader must have an EOM. Typically the EOM is a Carriage Return (<CR>) or a Line Feed (<LF>). The wedge reader searches the transmission for the EOM as a check for a complete transmission. When the wedge reader receives the EOM, the data record is sent to the workstation. See your scale/portable reader user’s manual or inspect a scale/portable reader transmission to identify the EOM.

The wedge reader strips defined characters and appends any configured preambles and postambles to the scale/portable reader transmission before sending it to the workstation.

If an error occurs when receiving data through the serial port (for instance, a configured timeout occurs before an EOM is received), the wedge reader beeps and continues operation.

Uploading Data From a Portable Reader

There are three common ways to start data transmission for the portable reader:

• Press a key combination on the portable reader. Refer to your portable reader user’s manual for instructions on transmitting data.

4-6

Configuring the 9720 Serial Port

• The portable reader receives a command to transmit from the

wedge reader. Refer to page 4-14 for information about defining the solicitation message.

• Transmit from an IRL program. For more information on programming the portable reader and

preparing for data collection, see “Other Intermec Manuals” in the front of this book.

Uploading Data From a Scale

There are three common ways to command the scale to send data through the RS-232 line:

• The operator presses a key (PRINT) on the scale.

• A switch, external to the scale but wired to it, is closed.

• The scale receives a command through the RS-232 serial line from

the wedge reader.

The first two transmission commands are initiated by the operator. For the third command, the wedge reader solicits the scale requesting transmission of data. You must define the solicitation message and transmit the message to the scale by scanning a command bar code.
