x SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Who Should Read This Manual

This programmer’s reference manual is for the person who is responsible for installing, programming, configuring, and maintaining the SR60 scanner.

This document explains how to program and configure the SR60 scanner.

Before you work with the SR60, you should be familiar with the host system to which you will connect the SR60.

Customizing Your Scanner’s Operation

You can customize your SR60 scanner’s operation using the programming bar codes in this manual.

• You can select and configure the settings that allow communication with your host terminal, such as setting the RS-232 baud rate and parity for the RS-232 interface. For help, see Chapter 2, “Configuring Interface Settings.”

• You can configure the optional prefix, suffix, and label ID to be sent with bar code data if your scanner is configured for the RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge interface. For help, see Chapter 3, “Configuring Label Transmit Settings.”

• You can select and configure bar code symbologies. You can give the scanner the capability to autodiscriminate as few as one, and as many as all available symbologies. For optimal scanner performance, enable only those symbologies required. You may also program the scanner with the standard options available for the symbologies, such as check digit, minimum label length, and fixed and variable length bar codes. For help, see Chapter 4, “Enabling and Configuring Symbologies.”

• You can configure general features. For example, you may adjust the beeper volume. For help, see Chapter 5, “Configuring General Features.”

How to Program the SR60 Scanner

There are two ways for you to program the scanner:

• You can scan programming bar codes to modify the scanner’s programmable features and options. This manual provides the bar codes and instructions necessary to configure the features and options. To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the programming bar codes in this manual.

• You can send commands directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are available. For help, see “RS-232 Host Commands” on page 157.

When you program the scanner, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.

2 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

What Is Programming Mode?

The scanner must be placed in Programming mode in order to accept programming commands. You place the scanner in Programming mode by scanning the SET bar code, which appears first in each set of programming bar codes in this manual. While in the Programming mode, the scanner recognizes only the special programming bar codes contained in this manual.

To understand how the LEDs and beeper behave while the scanner is in Programming mode, see and Beeper” on page 6.

What is a Programming Session?

A typical programming session is conducted as follows:

1 Scan the SET bar code at the beginning of each set of

programming bar codes to place the scanner in Programming mode. The scanner emits three beeps, indicating it has read the bar code, and the green LED flashes on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled.

2 Scan the programming bar codes that are specially encoded to

make changes. With few exceptions, the scanner emits a triple beep each time you scan a valid bar code. Be aware of these considerations:

“About the Scanner LEDs

• Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label length by scanning a series of singledigit bar codes. A single good read beep sounds when scanning these single digits in Programming mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence produces a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

• Not all features are available for all interfaces. The scanner sounds an error tone if you scan programming bar codes for features invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the currently active interface are implemented.

• If you scan a bar code that changes the interface type, all previous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 3

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

• When programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scanning the END bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code) before completing all input results in an error tone and causes the scanner to exit Programming mode. Under these circumstances, the features you were trying to set are discarded; any previous bar codes scanned during the session take effect.

• Intermec recommends that you limit each programming session to one feature at a time. If you make a mistake in the programming sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session.

3 Scan the END bar code to save any new settings and exit

Programming mode. The scanner sounds a beep and resets upon exiting Programming mode, and the green LED returns to its usual state (on steady or off).

Note: If you disconnect power before you scan the END bar code, all the new settings are discarded. On power-up, the scanner returns to the previous settings.

4 Maintain an accurate record of all changes you make. There is

a worksheet in Appendix A, “Factory Default Configuration” on page 145, where you can record your changes.

Three Sample Programming Sequences

To modify a scanner feature, you must scan the programming bar codes in this manual in the correct sequence, depending upon the feature being programmed. There are three programming sequences, which are illustrated on the next page.

Sample A

Programming sample A is the most commonly used sequence and demonstrates how three bar codes are scanned to accomplish these tasks:

1 Enter Programming mode with the SET bar code.

2 Scan the Item Tag that enables the new feature.

4 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

The term Item Tag describes an assigned number encoded in a programming bar code that selects, enables, or disables a specific feature.

3 Exit Programming mode and reset the scanner with the END

bar code.

Sample B

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

Like sample A, the scanner is placed in Programming mode and an Item Tag is scanned. Then, a value must be entered before ending the programming session. In the example, three digits must be scanned from the number pad in Appendix C.

This type of format may require up to six programming bar codes and is necessary to allow flexible programming with larger itemvalue numeric ranges.

Sample C

Programming sample C lets you scan a single, extended length bar code. This special bar code contains all the data necessary to enter Programming mode, set the Item Tag and Item Value, and exit Programming mode all in one step.

Roadmap for Programming the Scanner

Follow this roadmap to program the SR60 scanner.

To program the scanner

1 Scan any feature bar codes that are unique to the interface you

are currently programming. These interface-specific programming bar codes immediately follow each interface selection bar code.

2 If you need to change any bar code symbologies or modify

any symbology-related features, see “Enabling Symbologies” on page 66.

3 If you need to change or modify any other features (such as

beeper settings), see Chapter 5, “Configuring General Features,” on page 133.

Once the necessary changes have been made, and you have scanned the END bar code, you are ready to operate the SR60 scanner.

About the Scanner LEDs and Beeper

The scanner provides a set of indicators that verify or announce scanner functions.

Note: The green LED and beeper are configurable features which may have been modified or disabled. For help, see Chapter 5, “Configuring General Features,” on page 133.

6 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Scanner LEDs

Scanner Beeper

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

The amber Laser On LED is located on top rear of the scanner and lights whenever laser power is on.

The green Good Read LED is located on top rear of the scanner and flashes:

• once to indicate when a good read has occurred.

• slowly on and off to indicate the scanner is in Programming mode.

The beeper operates differently when the scanner is in Scanning mode and in Programming mode.

• When the scanner is in Scanning mode, the beeper sounds:

• four times at power-up.

• once following a good read.

• six rapid chirps to indicate an error (error tone).

• When the scanner is in Programming mode, the beeper sounds:

• once when entering or exiting Programming mode.

• three times to indicate a successfully programmed feature.

• an error tone if you scan programming bar codes for

features that are not compatible with the current interface. For example, you can set baud rate and parity only when the current interface is RS-232.

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System

Your scanner must be equipped with the correct hardware to properly communicate with your host system. Contact your local Intermec representative if you have questions about your scanner hardware compatibility.

Intermec offers the following interface cables for the SR60 scanner:

• Wand emulation

•RS-232

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 7

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

• Keyboard wedge

•USB

Note: The part numbers for the keyboard wedge cables available from Intermec are listed in the “PC Keyboard Interfaces and Cables Supported ” table on page 31.

Changing the Interface Cable

If you need to move the scanner to a host terminal of a different interface type, you simply connect the scanner to the new host using the appropriate interface cable. The scanner automatically changes to the interface functions specific to that cable.

Verifying that Your Scanner Supports the Interface

You must make sure that your SR60 scanner supports the interface you want to change to. The following list indicates the interfaces each SR60 scanner supports:

• SR60 scanner with C/N SR60AX01 supports the Wand Emulation, RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge interfaces.

• SR60 scanner with C/N SR60AX02 supports the USB interface.

You can find the scanner C/N on the label above the trigger.

Removing and Replacing the Scanner Interface Cable

You can change your scanner interface cable by following these instructions.

To change the scanner interface cable

1 Loosen the screw at the bottom of the handle. This screw is

captive and does not come all the way out.

Do not try to pull the end cap off, as this may damage the scanner.

2 Swing the forked cable retainer clear of the square hole in the

end cap and rotate away from the cable.

8 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

3 Holding the scanner handle and end cap together in one

hand, pull the connector out of the handle end cap to free the interface cable.

4 Connect the new interface cable at the scanner and rotate the

forked cable retainer to secure it. Tighten the screw to 0.67 to

1.13 Nm (6 to 10 in-lb).

Removing and Replacing an Interface Cable

Reconfiguring the Interface Settings

If you change the interface cable, you may need to reconfigure the interface settings. For help, see Chapter 2, “ Interface Settings.”

After you reconfigure the interface settings, you should scan a bar code to verify that the scanner communicates correctly with the new host system. For sample bar codes, see on page 152.

“Sample Bar Codes”

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 9

Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner

Restoring Factory Default Settings

You can restore the factory default settings at any time by scanning the Return to Factory Default Settings bar code in this section. This bar code is typically used to return the scanner to a known operating state when the present programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.

For a list of factory default settings, see Appendix A, “Factory Default Configuration” on page 145.

Use this bar code with caution, since it resets all changes made during previous programming sessions.

Note: This bar code does not reset the Low Power mode. For

details, see

To restore factory defaults

1 Scan the SET bar code.

2 Scan the Return to Factory Setting bar code.

“Configuring the Low Power Mode” on page 140.

3 Scan the END bar code.

Trouble Scanning the Bar Codes in This Manual

If you are having trouble scanning the bar codes in this manual, make sure you follow these guidelines:

• Review the scanning instructions in the SR60 Scanner Quick Start Guide (P/N 930-141-001) which shipped with the scanner.

• Hold the SR60 scanner at least 1.2 m (4 ft) from the bar code because this is a long range scanner.

• If you see more than one red marker beam, aim the center beam on the bar code.

• Move the marker beam horizontally across the page toward the bar code to avoid passing the marker beam over other bar codes.
