X/ON X/OFF Protocol

This protoco l allo ws the host to co ntrol the flow of data from the
ScanImage to interrupt reception of data the host or the
ScanImage transmits the X/OFF character ( ASCI I DC3); to
restart the flow, it sends the X/ON character (ASCII DC1).

RTS, CTS

The ScanI mage acts as a standard te rminal, and man ages the
RTS/CTS levels when configured. RTS is brought h ig h before
data is transmitted and dr oppe d when tran smissio n of a
message is completed. CTS is tested before transmission of each
characte r. Data is only transmitted when CTS is hig h. If CTS is
not used by the host system, the ScanImage maintains the le vel
high.

1994 UBI ScanImage User's Man ual Page 3-15

SECTION 3

RS-232 Interface Param eters

RTS, CTS not active

Low RTS idle : The ScanImage maintains the low lev e l o n

RTS pin.

High RTS idle : The ScanImage maintains the high leve l on

RTS pin.

RTS, CTS active

Low RTS idle : The ScanImage works in normal RTS/CTS

protocol.

High RTS idle : T he ScanImage reverses signals in the

RTS/CTS protocol.
(i.e : high becomes low and low becomes high).

LRC

This command allows the exclusive 0R of each character in the
data, the result is conve rted into two bytes which then can be
transmited after the data.

Example:

Upper/Lower case

In order to transmit alphabetical characters in the correct case,
the ScanImage must be set for the shift position of the keyboard
of the terminal to which it is interfaced.
When the keyboard is in the normal unshifted position, lower
case is used. when the caps lock is activated on the terminal's
keyboard, upper case should be selected.

Alt Mode

On some microcomputers working under MSDOS operating
system, all the F ull ASCII charac ter set and many graphic
characters can be generated depressing the "ALT" key, and
keying a numeric f rom 0 to 255.
The ScanImage can also work in this mode allowing the user
not to pay atten tio n to the keyboard type (French, Us, German,
etc...) on which the ScanImage is connected, neither to the
upper/lower case position.

Data Management

Intercharacter Delay

In some ter minals or RS-232 system s, the maximum rate at
which data can be transmitted by the reader is affected by the
response of the system. By the insertion of an intercharacter
delay, the reader can avoid dropping characters, if it is
transmitting decoded data too rapidly.

Rolling Buffer and Interme ssage Delay

When codes are scanned faster than the host system can accept
data, messages are spooled in the reader's "Rolling Buffer" on a
first in fir st out basis.

The intermessage delay is used to slow the rate at which
successive records are transmitted to the host. This feature is
especially usefull when a control code, such as an enter, is sent
after each record, which requires a response from the host.

Code 39 Parameters

Modulo 43 Check Digit

The modulo 43 check digit is a character added to the end of the
Code 39 bar code label which allow s an extra validation of the
data.

It is calculated as follows:

Replace each of the characters by the corresponding value in

1.

the table below, noting that th e start and stop are n ot used in
calculating the check digit.

Sum all the valu e s.

2.

Divide this su m by 43 and note th e remainder.

3.

The check digit is the c haracter in the Standard ASCII table

4.

of 43 characters corresponding to the remainder in step 3.

Take as an example the following label *56789ADF$cd*

The value s to be summed are:
S=5+6+7+8+9+10+13+15+39=112
R=112/43 = 2 with a r e mainder of 26
26 corresponds to Q
cd = "Q"

Therefore the label with the chec k dig it is
*56789ADF$Q*

The reader can be set to transmit or not transmit the Mo d 43
check digit.

CIP Check Digit

The CIP check digit is u tilized in the French pharmaceutical
industry. It is only used for codes with seven characters.

Italian Check Digit

The Italian check digit is used in the Italian pharmaceutical
industry.

Auto-discrimination mode if Italian Check Digit

When the data bar code is differ en t of six charaters, or equal to
six characters but false Italian Check Digit, the reader sends
the data in Code 39.

Multiread

The multiread function allows Code 39 labels beginning with a
predetermine d c haracter to be pu t into the reader 's memory.
One or more of these labels is retained in memory until a
control label is read, which may be a label not beginning with
the Multiread character or until the memory reaches 255
characters. This function allows a message to be composed "off­line" from the terminal or host, by reading a series of Multiread
labels. The Multiread character can be either a space, which is
widely used, or any other Code 39 character defined by the user.

Code 39 Parameters

Full ASCII Control Codes

This allows the emulation of control keys such as special
function keys, tab or back space, by reading bar code labels
consisting of specially defined dual character combinations. For
example the characters .B can represent an Enter.
These control codes can be activated either when in a separate
label or when embedded in a label, usually as the last tw o
characters.

Interleaved 2 of 5 Parameters

Number of Characters

Interleaved 2 of 5 must always encode an even number of
characters. An odd length may be selected to allow an
Interleav e d 2 of 5 labe l to be scanned into an odd-numbere d
field. In this case, the reader does not transmit either the first
or last encoded digit. Wh en the last digit is suppressed, the
reader will acce pt a c o de w hich the last character is in valid, e.g.
composed of 5 narrow spaces.

Code Length Selection

In order to minimize the chance of misreads, Interleaved 2 of 5
codes are often restricted to one or a few fixed lengths. The v alid
length(s) are selected by the bar code menu, in which case the
user can specify one, two or three lengths, to be accepted by the
reader.
The reader can, if desired, be configured to read and transmit
all lengths of Interleaved 2 of 5. In this case, it is recommended
that a chec k digit or the Con secutive Same Read Code
Validation feature s in Family I be activ ate d if a lase r or CCD
scanner is used. By activating Consecutive Same Read Code
Validation, the r e ade r is forced to o btain the same read re sult
on 2 or more successive scans in order to validate the read.

Check Digit

The Interleaved 2 of 5 check digit can be used as the last
encoded character of a label; it is especially recommended when
using Variable L e ngth Interleaved 2 of 5 if th e Co nsecutive
Same Read Code Validation feature discussed abo ve is not
activated.

It is calculated as follows:

Codabar Parameters

CLSI Library System

Libraries in the CLSI system use d in the United State s, require
insertions of spaces within the 14 character label.

For Example, the label "399900019214" is transmitted :
"3 999 0001 9214"

The start/sto p code can be tr ansmitted or not transmitted
according to the menu selection.

Concatenation

When two or more Codabar labels are placed side by side , and
scanned in a single sweep , the reader can transmit th e data as a
single message . If the reader is programme d to transmit the
start/stop charac ter s, it will transmit the first start an d last stop
characte rs, and suppr e ss intermediate start and stop
characters.

Whether or not two adjacent codes scanned in a single sweep
are concatenated can depend on whether the reader is
programmed to accept certain de f ined intermediate start/stop
combinations. Concaten atio n may either be required or may
coexist with unconcatenated labels.

ABC

ABC is a form of co ncatenation used by members of the
American Blood Commission. It functions as described in the
previous note with the following restrictions on the start/stop
characters.

First (leftmost L abe l) : Start = A,B,C, o r D

Stop = D

Second (rightmost label): Start = D

Stop = A,B,C or D
