Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

What Is the SR60?

The Intermec SR60 is a laser scanner that is available in a standard range (SR) version or extended long-range (XLR) version. The XLR version allows you to scan bar code labels from as far away as 11 m (36 ft) depending on the labels you are using.

To determine whether you have the SR version or XLR version, refer to the configuration number (C/N) on the label above the trigger. The scanner version of your SR60 is the sixth character of the configuration number:

• SR60BL. The letter “L” indicates the SR version.

• SR60BX. The letter “X” indicates the XLR version.

Unless otherwise noted, all information in this manual applies to both the SR and XLR versions.

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.”

2 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

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 163.

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

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 7.

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

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 3

Page 18

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

• 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.

• 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.

4 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Page 19

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

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 151, 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.

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.

6 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

“Keypad Bar Codes” on page 160.

Page 21

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

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 70.

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

beeper settings), see Chapter 5, “Configuring General Features,” on page 139.

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 139.

Scanner LEDs

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

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 7

Page 22

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

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.

Scanner Beeper

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:

• Laser emulation

• Wand emulation

•RS-232

• Keyboard wedge

•USB

8 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Page 23

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner

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 20.

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 SR60BX01 (XLR) or C/N SR60BL01 (SR) supports the Wand Emulation, RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge interfaces.

• SR60 scanner with C/N SR60BX02 (XLR) or C/N SR60BL02 (SR) supports the USB interface.

• SR60 scanner with C/N SR60BX03 (XLR) supports the Laser Emulation 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.

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 9

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

end cap and rotate away from the cable.

Page 24

Chapter 1 — Learning About 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 158.

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 151.

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

Note: This bar code does not reset Low Power mode or Half

Angle. For details, see page 146 or “Configuring the Half Angle” on page 149.

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-xxx) which shipped with the scanner.

• If you are using the XLR version, hold the 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.

Note: By default, the marker beam is enabled for the XLR version and disabled for the SR version. For more information, see “Configuring the Marker Beam” on page 144.

Contacting Intermec Product Support

If you need to contact Intermec Product Support for help with your SR60 scanner, follow the instructions in and Support” on page xi.

Make sure you have this information before you contact Intermec Product Support:

• Scanner configuration number: Look for the C/N number on the label above the trigger.

• Cable part number: Look for the part number on the label attached to the cable.

Handshaking

Chapter 2 — Configuring Interface Settings

Review your system documentation to identify handshaking requirements, and scan the following bar codes to change the settings if required. The following descriptions briefly explain each selection.

Hardware Handshaking

You can choose either CTS/RTS Flow Control or CTS Scan Control:

• CTS/RTS Flow Control is a type of hardware handshaking. The scanner activates the RTS (Request to Send) line when it is ready to send data to the host. The scanner waits for an active Clear to Send (CTS) signal from the host before transmitting data. If hardware control is disabled, CTS/RTS communication does not take place. If the host deactivates the CTS line during data transmission, the host receives additional characters for no more than 2 ms. (The timing varies slightly, depending on the baud rate you select.)

Software Handshaking

XON/XOFF is software handshaking that allows the host to control data transmission. If the host sends an XOFF command to the scanner, the scanner does not send the bar code data until it receives an XON command from the host. If the host sends the XOFF command during data transmission, the host receives additional characters for no more than 2 ms. (The timing varies slightly, depending on the baud rate you select.)

Chapter 3 — Configuring Label Transmit Settings

When to Configure Label Transmit Settings

If you need to send information in addition to bar code label data, you can configure the scanner to transmit:

• global prefixes (or preambles).

• global suffixes (or postambles).

• symbology-specific identifier characters (or label IDs).

You may configure these Label Transmit settings only if your SR60 scanner has been configured to use either the RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge interface.

How to Use the Prefix, Suffix, and Label ID

The following table shows how you can use the prefix, suffix, and label ID characters.

Note: Using these features requires a thorough understanding of your specific system requirements. For help, contact Intermec Product Support.

Setting Global Prefixes and Suffixes

This section describes how to set global prefixes and suffixes.

Do not use these procedures if you have a USB interface. For a USB interface, see “Setting a Prefix or Suffix for a USB Interface” on page 54.

Setting Global Prefixes

You may add one or two prefix characters to the standard label format. To add more than two prefix characters, contact Intermec Product Support for Full Label Edit (FLE) options.

To set global prefixes

1 Identify your specific system requirements.

2 Using the ASCII table on page 164, identify the ASCII

character(s) and the corresponding hex code(s) for the prefix.

For example, suppose you want to send the two prefix characters STX (start transmit) and SP (Space). The ASCII chart shows that STX equals 02 hex and SP equals 20 hex.

3 Scan the SET bar code on page 50.

4 Scan the Set Prefix bar code.

5 Using the list of bar codes that starts on page 160, scan the

four digits corresponding to the hex values you chose in Step 2.

For this example, you would scan 0, 2, 2, and 0.

Note: Successful programming requires four digits for the label ID.

Setting a Prefix or Suffix

The method you use to set a prefix or suffix depends on your scanner interface:

•USB Interface

• Wand Emulation, Keyboard Wedge, RS-232, or Decoded Interface

The scanner does not transmit a prefix or suffix character if its hex value is set to zero.

Note: For the USB interface, the global character that is added at the end of every scan is an End of Message (EOM) character, not a Postamble (suffix). For help, see “Setting an EOM for a USB Interface” on page 56.

Chapter 4 — Enabling and Configuring Symbologies

All Symbologies Supported by All Interfaces

You can enable any bar code symbology described in this chapter because all the symbologies in this chapter are supported by all the SR60 scanner interface types.

Identify the symbologies you want to enable. Use the bar codes in this chapter to enable those symbologies and set the data format options (such as check digit or start/stop characters) required by your host system for each symbology type. You must enable the symbology format options settings that are compatible with your host system.

The factory default settings for each interface were chosen to meet the standard industry requirements. In most cases you do not need to change the symbology format settings.

If you are unsure of your system requirements, test the scanner using the factory settings before making any changes. For a list of factory default settings, see Appendix A, Configuration” on page 151.

Enabling Symbologies

You can enable specific symbologies or disable all symbologies using these programming bar codes:

• The Disable All Symbologies bar code on page 72 lets you disable all the symbologies currently enabled on the scanner. To optimize scanner performance, you should scan this bar code before you enable only the symbologies you require.

• The Enable Code 39 bar code on page 72 selects Code 39 as an active symbology and allows selection of check digit, start/ stop and single digit options.

• The Enable PharmaCode 39 bar code on page 73 is a symbology subset of Code 39. Enabling PharmaCode 39 allows the scanner to read both PharmaCode 39 and Standard Code 39 labels.

Note: Standard Code 39 must be enabled before you can enable PharmaCode.

70 SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual

Page 85

Chapter 4 — Enabling and Configuring Symbologies

• The Enable Code 128 bar code on page 73 selects Code 128 as an active symbology. The scanner is preset to recognize all Code 128 bar codes that have between 1 and 50 characters.

• The Enable UCC/EAN 128 bar code on page 73 chooses EAN 128 as an active symbology. The Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM U.S.A.) have standardized the reporting of data sources from bar code reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate between UCC/EAN-128 (Code 128 with Function Character 1 in the first position) and standard Code 128 symbols. When this feature is disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.

• The Enable Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code on page 73 selects Interleaved 2 of 5 as an active symbology. Allows change of check digit or label format (fixed or variable length) options.

• The Enable Codabar bar code on page 73 selects Codabar as an active symbology. Allows selection of check digit, start/stop character and format, or label format (fixed or variable length) options.

Chapter 4 — Enabling and Configuring Symbologies

After enabling one or more symbologies, you can use the bar codes in the following sections to configure the symbology options and features.

Code 39/PharmaCode 39 Options

This section describes the Code 39 options and contains the programming bar codes you can use to configure those options.

About Code 39 Options

The Code 39 symbology has the following programmable features:

•Check Digit

• Start/Stop Characters

• Code 39 Full ASCII

• Minimum Label Length

•Read Verification

• Code 39 Emulate Function Keys (USB interface only)

Check Digit

Check Digit calculates the check digit to verify that the check digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a check digit.

Start/Stop Characters

Start/Stop Characters selects either Send or Don’t Send depending on your host’s interface requirement.

Code 39 Full ASCII

Code 39 Full ASCII enables or disables the ability to decode Code 39 Full ASCII labels.

Minimum Label Length

Minimum Label Length sets the minimum label length required for the Code 39 symbology. This feature causes the scanner to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

Read Verification

Read Verification is the number of times the scanner is required to read the bar code data before sending the label data to the host.

Chapter 4 — Enabling and Configuring Symbologies

Code 39 Emulate Function Keys

(USB interface only) Code 39 Emulate Function Keys converts Code 39 character pairs to their equivalent ASCII extended values. For example, with this feature enabled, if you scan a Code 39 bar code that contains a period and capital N (.N), you get the F1 keyboard function. For a list of keyboard functions, see the

“ASCII Extended Chart” on page 175.

Minimum Label Length

The following procedure explains how to set the Code 39 Minimum Label Length.

To set Code 39 Minimum Label Length

1 Identify the minimum label length setting you want to make.

The selectable range is 00 to 48 characters.

SR60 Scanner Programmer’s Reference Manual 77

Page 92

Chapter 4 — Enabling and Configuring Symbologies

Note: For this symbology, the scanner decodes up to 48

characters, but the actual length read varies depending upon interface type, bar code physical size, and print quality. Code 39 bar codes containing one or more full ASCII characters can also limit the amount of characters that are decoded; in these circumstances, the scanner decodes at least 24 data characters.

2 Scan the SET bar code.

3 Scan the Set Minimum Label Length bar code.

4 Using the Digits bar codes on page 79, scan the digits to set

the minimum label length you identified in Step 1.

Note: To set a label length less than ten, you must scan a zero digit first and then the length digit (such as 04, 06, or 08).

5 Scan the END bar code.

About Code 128 and UCC/EAN 128 Options

The Code 128 and UCC/EAN 128 symbologies have the following programmable features:

• Minimum Label Length

•Read Verification

Setting Minimum Label Length

Setting Minimum Label Length sets the minimum length required for Code 128 and UCC/EAN 128 symbology. This feature causes the scanner to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

Read Verification

Read Verification is the number of times the scanner is required to read the bar code data before sending the label data to the host.

Configuring the Code 128/and UCC/EAN 128 Options

Scan the following bar codes to configure the Code 128 and UCC/EAN 128 options.

Minimum Label Length

You can set the Code 128 and UCC/EAN 128 Minimum Label Length.

To set the Code 128 and UCC/EAN 128 Minimum Label Length

1 Identify the minimum length setting you want to make. The

selectable range is 00 to 80 characters.

Note: The scanner decodes up to 80 characters, but the actual length read varies depending upon interface type, the physical size of the bar codes, print quality, and whether the bar code data consists of Code 128 code set A, set B, or set C characters. (Because the C128 character set C allows for more densely packed data, if the bar code includes all or mostly C128 set C characters, more characters can be decoded).

2 Scan the SET bar code.

3 Scan the Set Minimum Label Length bar code.

4 Using the Digits bar codes on page 85, scan the digits to set

the minimum label length you identified in Step 1.

Note: To set a label length less than ten, you must scan a zero digit first and then the length digit (such as 04, 06, or 08).

5 Scan the END bar code.
