• 1500/1600 Series Laser Scanners

• RS-232 magnetic stripe reader

• Any asynchronous CRT terminal

• Any asynchronous host computer

nugget nugget code39 code39 helconital

Data Formats and Programming

The 9560 can format the data it collects to meet your system’s protocol and communication requirements. You specify the format by scanning bar code command labels, downloading command sequences from the host, or selecting options from menus in the reader’s Prompting Configuration mode.

You can develop custom programs for the 9560 with the Interactive Reader Language (IRL). IRL provides the flexibility of a high-level language and does not require a development system. See Chapter 9, “Interactive Reader Language,” for more information on IRL.

You can store programs in the 9560’s memory (256K of RAM) or in the host’s memory to be downloaded to the reader. If the 9560 loses power, a NiCad battery retains the memory for up to 10 days.

Memory

The 9560 provides 256K of RAM for storing IRL programs and data. The data may be validation files or collected input, especially if the host cannot receive data. The maximum memory available is limited as follows:

Type Maximum Size

System overhead 12K IRL programs 52K Data (with IRL programs) 182K Data (no IRL programs) 240K

1-6

Page 27

nugget nugget code39 code39 helconital

Getting Started

Bar Code Symbologies

The 9560 can automatically discriminate between several bar code symbologies. You can set the reader to decode any combination of the valid symbologies. You can save reader memory by enabling only the symbologies required for your tasks.

The 9560 can decode these bar code symbologies:

• Code 39

• HIBC

• Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2 of 5; variable length and even, fixed length)

• Code 2 of 5

• Codabar (Standard, American Blood Commission, and Concatenated)

• UPC (including supplemental codes for periodicals)

• EAN

• Code 11

• Code 93

• Code 128

Communications

The 9560 supports RS-232, RS-422, and 4-wire RS-485 multi-drop communications standards. Current loop can be supported with an external adapter. Contact your local Intermec service supplier for suggested manufacturers and ordering instructions.

Status Beeps

The 9560 sounds high or low beeps to indicate status conditions. A single beep means a valid read, a high pitched beep means immediate transmission to the host, and a low pitched beep means no transmission. For more information on beep sequences, see “Starting the 9560” in Chapter 4.

The 9560 standard speaker may not be loud enough in an extremely noisy environment. You can connect a set of headphones or an external amplifier and speaker to the audio connector. For more information, see “Attaching Audio Output Devices” in Chapter 2.

You can attach an external speaker or light to a relay to supplement the standard speaker. For more information, see “Selecting External Devices” in Chapter 2.

Page 33

Choosing Secured or Unsecured Wiring

Before mounting the 9560, you must choose which type of wiring your system requires. Secured wiring protects the cables from exposure and requires you to install the security plate on the 9560. Unsecured wiring routes the cables into the room with no extra protection.

Note: To comply with IEC 950, you must install the 9560 near an easily accessible socket outlet.

Selecting External Devices

You can use many types of external devices with the 9560.

Choosing Input Devices

You use input devices, such as wands and laser scanners, to provide information to the 9560. Input devices can supplement or replace the internal scanner or card reader included with the 9560.

Note: If you order the 9560 with the internal slot scanner or magnetic card reader, you may not need an additional input device.

Laser scanner connector

Attaching Wands and Scanners

You can connect a combination of wands and scanners to the 9560 if you are certain that you will use only one device at a time. The 9560 uses the same video line for the internal slot scanner and the external scanners (9191 satellite wand stations, laser scanners). If you try to scan from any two of these devices at the same time, the 9560 does not accept any input at all.

2-5

Page 34

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

For example, if your system has a 9191 satellite wand station and an internal slot scanner, you can only scan from one or the other at one time. The 9560 cannot process information from both scanners at the same time.

The internal magnetic card reader does not use the video line and does not interfere with wands or scanners. You can swipe a magnetic card and scan a label with a wand at the same time.

Attaching Devices to the Terminal Plug

Use the terminal plug to attach a remote terminal, external magnetic card reader, or other device to the 9560. If you order the 9560 with the internal magnetic card reader, you cannot attach an external device to the terminal plug. The internal magnetic card reader uses the terminal plug.

Installing the 9560 Without Input Devices

You can install the 9560 without a 1700 keyboard or any other external input device. If you do, you must start the IRL program before permanently mounting the unit, or you must start the IRL program from the host. For more information, see “Creating and Running IRL Programs” in Chapter 9.

Unattended Scanning

You can configure the 9560 to accept input from an unattended laser scanner. For example, you can mount a laser scanner beside a conveyor line where boxes with bar code labels pass in front of the scanner. You can set the scanner to automatically scan when it senses a label. This is called remote triggering. You either physically set the 9560 for remote triggering, or you can send software commands to the 9560.

To physically enable remote triggering

1. Position jumper J17 to short pins 1 and 2.

J17

9560-30U

Or, provide an external device that senses when a bar code is waiting to be read. When triggered, the external device should short pin 11 on either the modem or terminal port to signal ground (pin 7). Do not use pin 11 on the unused port.

2-6

Page 35

Preparing to Install the 9560

2. Set the 9560 trigger mode to edge and define a scanner timeout. To set these parameters, see Chapter 6, “Configuring the 9560,” and Chapter 7, “Configuration Commands.”

To enable remote triggering with software commands

1. Set the scanner to Auto Trigger mode. See “Enter Auto Trigger Mode” in Chapter 8.

2. Set the 9560 trigger mode to edge and define a scanner timeout. To set these parameters, see Chapter 6, “Configuring the 9560,” and Chapter 7, “Configuration Commands.”

Note: Remote triggering requires an environment with an electrically clean signal. Noise or static will disrupt the scanner.

Using the Sense Inputs

The 9560 includes three sense inputs and three output relays. You use the inputs to monitor events, such as the opening and closing of doors or gates. For example, you may want the reader to beep if the door open. Each sense input monitors its line for an input signal within the following range:

• 1 msec minimum duration

• 5V to 24V (AC or DC)

• 10mA to 60mA

You select the voltage range of the input signal by setting a jumper on the appropriate jumper block. Each sense input is isolated to protect the 9560 from any damaging currents that may inadvertently enter through the input line.

Voltage Range Jumper Setting

5 to 14 V Pins 1 and 2 14 to 24 V Pins 2 and 3

When a sense input detects a signal, the circuitry is put in a “set” state. The circuitry remains set until the software reads the status of the sense inputs. When the 9560 executes an IRL F command, it places the status of the inputs into the #0 register and resets the circuitry. For more information, see Chapter 9, “Interactive Reader Language.”

2-7

Page 36

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

The status is stored as follows:

• The #0 register contains a 3-digit binary string.

• A 1 indicates a signal has been detected; a 0 indicates no signal.

• The digits correspond to the inputs as shown in the following diagram:

0 1 1

Third input

Second input

First input

9560-40U

For example, if the #0 register contains 011, it would indicate a signal at the first and second inputs, but none at the third input.

The following diagram shows a typical connection to a sense input. In this example, a normally open door sense switch is wired in series with the sense input and a secondary power circuit. When the door switch is closed, the sense input detects the 24V output from the power circuit.

Using the Output Relays

The 9560 includes three sense inputs and three single-pole, double-throw output relays. You use these relays to actuate external devices, such as door or turnstile locks. Each relay is rated as follows:

• 24V (AC or DC) maximum

• 1A maximum.

You control the relays with the IRL F command command. If you execute a reset or remove power to the 9560, the relays turn off. The relays remain off until the 9560 receives an F command. For more information on the F command, see Chapter 9, “Interactive Reader Language.”

Connecting to a Data Collection System

You can connect the 9560 into a data collection system in one of three ways:

• Connect to a computer only

• Connect to a computer and terminal

• Connect to a port concentrator or system unit with or without a terminal Before connecting the data collection system, be sure your system meets the

interface requirements listed next.

Cable Interface Requirements

You can connect the 9560 to an RS-232, RS-422, or 4-wire RS-485 multi-drop interface. The type of cabling depends upon the distance between the 9560 and the other components of the system, as shown in the following table.

Maximum Distance Preferred Interface

50 feet RS-232 2000 feet RS-485 multi-drop (use only with a 9161A Option 2 multi-

drop concentrator or 9154 Line Controller)

4000 feet RS-422

RS-232 is designed for short distances and is generally not used for long data lines. It can be used successfully over longer distances if there is a “clean” electrical environment in the building. Because RS-232 connects the two signal grounds of the units together, any ground noise is coupled directly to the units.

RS-232 cables longer than 50 feet are susceptible to noise and may cause data transmission problems. To avoid problems with longer RS-232 cables, you can install modems at each end of the cable. Modems isolate the equipment grounds from the cable and reduce noise. Follow the modem manufacturer’s instructions for terminating the cable, and be sure that the modem has transformer coupling or optical isolation.

RS-422 uses balanced transmission to provide noise immunity. The transmission is received with a differential receiver, and the receiver signal ground is not common with the cable.

Note: If you use RS-422 or RS-485 wiring, you must configure the 9560 for the chosen interface. The default is RS-232.

For information about host protocols and interface considerations, see Chapter 5, “Data Communications and Operating Options.”

Operating the 9560

This chapter explains how to start the 9560 and how to use the slot scanner, magnetic card reader, wand, laser scanner, and keypad.

Starting the 9560

To start the 9560, you simply plug in the power cord. If the 9560 contains an IRL program and the unit is configured to resume IRL, that program automatically runs.

The 9560 beeps to tell you its status while operating. The following table lists the beeps and their meanings. For a list of the commands that control beeps, see Chapter 6, “Configuring the 9560,” and Chapter 7, “Configuration Commands.”

Beeps Meaning

4 low Power was applied or unit was reset. RAM and ROM are in proper working condition. High low high An input or output error occurred. 1 low A valid label was read, but not transmitted to the host.

The host sent a BEL character to the 9560. An Enter (%+), Backspace (%-), or Space (%/) label was scanned while the 9560 was in

Prompting Configuration mode. 2 low Clear buffer label was read. 3 low Invalid data or an invalid command.

Clear command was sent when the buffer was already empty.

The buffer is full: more than 25 characters in regular operation or 128 characters in

Accumulate mode.

Starting the 9560 With the Magnetic Card Reader

The magnetic card reader requires the 9560 to have specific host communication settings at power up. If you have not changed the host settings, you will not have a problem. However, if you change the host settings and the 9560 loses power, the reader may malfunction.

The internal magnetic card reader requires these host settings at power up:

• 9600 baud

• Even parity

• 7 data bits

• 1 stop bit If these settings are not correct at power up, the 9560 beeps continually and the

magnetic card reader and the 9560 hang up. Use the following procedure to correct this problem.

To set the 9560 to use the magnetic card reader on power up

1. Scan each of the following labels, or download the commands from the host.

Reading Bar Code Labels

Bar code labels can contain data or commands. Each label must include start and stop characters that provide initial timing references and direction of read information to the coding logic. Intermec printers automatically generate asterisks (*) as the start and stop characters.

Multiple-Read Labels

Multiple-read labels allow several labels to be stored in the reader buffer. The reader transmits this data only after you scan the Enter label or a label that does not begin with a space. Multiple-read labels have the format * DATA*, with a space before the data. A multiple-read label looks like this:

Multiple-Read Label

* DATA*

Operating the 9560

When you scan a multiple-read label, the reader:

1. sounds one low beep,

2. adds the bar code data (minus the leading space character) to the transmission buffer,

3. holds the data until receiving the transmit command.

Regular Labels

The reader transmits the data in a regular label as soon as it is scanned. Regular labels have the format *DATA* with no space before the data. A regular label looks like this:

Regular Label

*DATA*

When you scan a regular label, the reader:

1. sounds one high beep,

2. adds the label to the data buffer,

3. transmits the data as soon as it is received,

4. clears the data buffer.

Using the Magnetic Card Reader

The 9560 requires an IRL program to use the magnetic card reader. When you order the 9560 with an internal magnetic card reader, the IRL control program is already installed on the unit and on a disk.

The magnetic card reader accepts magnetic cards that meet ANSI and ISO specifications for Track 2. Track 2 only encodes numeric data.

To use the card reader

1. Download the IRL program that controls the card reader to the 9560. By default, the program is downloaded at the factory.

2. If you are not using the factory default settings, configure the 9560 communications settings for 9600 baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, and even parity. See Chapter 7, “Configuration Commands,” or scan this label:

Data Communications and Operating Options

This chapter provides a general overview of data communications and 9560 operating options, such as display settings. For more details, refer to Intermec’s

Communications Reference Manual.

Introduction to Data Communications

Your bar code equipment and data processing equipment (the host computer) must be able to understand and exchange data quickly and accurately. Data communication standards and protocols spell out exactly how data is to be sent and received. This section briefly explains the standards and protocols common to data collection systems.

Data Communications in a Data Collection System

The main purpose of bar code data collection is to get data from the warehouse, the shop floor, or the factory to a central database quickly where the information can be processed. To do this, numerous devices transmit and receive data:

Data

• The host computer sends bar code label formats to a bar code label printer.

• The host computer sends data collection programs through a network controller to the 9560 and other bar code readers.

• The readers transmit the data collected back to the host computer through a network controller.

The ISO Data Communications Model

All Intermec equipment follows the standards established by the International Standards Organization (ISO) to describe the data communications process. The ISO model describes seven, sequential, autonomous layers. For example, the lowest layer, called the physical layer, describes cable connectors, basic signaling, and signal levels used in data communications.

The physical layer and the data link layer are the largest layers used by Intermec equipment. For more information on the ISO model and other layers, refer to Intermec’s Data Communications Reference Manual.

5-3

Page 78

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

Physical Layer

The physical layer describes the hardware components of data transmission. It sets standards for transmitting voltages and electrical pulses through cables, connectors, and components. Data transmission at the physical layer is defined in these three areas:

• Full-duplex or half-duplex transmission

• Parallel or serial transmission

• Asynchronous or synchronous transmission

Half-duplex Transmits and receives data over a single channel, but in one

direction at a time.

Full-duplex Transmits and receives data simultaneously over two separate

channels within the cable.

Parallel transmission Sends several data bits across the interface together.

A group of bits moves over several lines at the same time.

Serial transmission Sends data one bit at a time as a series of pulses. Pulses are

received in a mark (binary 1), or space (binary 0) condition. The speed of the serial transmission is the baud rate or BPS (bits per second).

You use parallel transmission when the bar code equipment and computers are located within a few feet of each other. Parallel transmission is much faster than serial. However, as data lines get longer, noise and interference on the data lines increase.

Asynchronous transmission Requires a start bit to mark the beginning of a data

block and a stop bit to mark the end of the data block.

Synchronous transmission Uses a clock to determine the exact sending or

receiving time for each bit. More than one data character can be sent per frame, and start and stop characters are not included.

Several different interface cables and connectors meet the standards for the physical layer. Each has its own strengths and limitations, depending on the distances between connected devices and the configuration of the equipment. The 9560 supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 multi-drop interfaces. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install the 9560.”

Data Link Layer

The data link layer deals with the recognition of data received and the formatting of data transmitted. Protocols guarantee the control and integrity of messages between both ends of a communication link. Communication at this layer is either asynchronous or synchronous.

5-4

Page 79

Data Communications and Operating Options

Asynchronous protocols at this level perform error detection. For synchronous protocols, this layer detects starting and ending flags and generates a cyclical redundancy check (CRC). This layer also identifies whether the transmission channel is dedicated (point-to-point) or shared (multipoint), and if transmission is full- or half-duplex.

Full-Duplex Protocols Versus Half-Duplex Protocols

At the data link layer, protocols are described as either full-duplex or halfduplex. A full-duplex protocol allows messages to be received and transmitted simultaneously. Your system must have separate, dedicated channels for receiving and transmitting data to use a full-duplex protocol. Also, the host and reader must have the necessary hardware (interrupt structure) to support receiving and transmitting data simultaneously. You define a full-duplex protocol by disabling both the solicitation sequence (Poll and Select) and AFF/NEG handshakes.

Point-to-Point and similar user-defined protocols are the only Intermec protocols that are full-duplex. These protocols do not support retransmission of data messages. The reader transmits data when commanded to by the operator, but the reader receives data from the host at any time.

A half-duplex protocol requires that only one device transmit data at a time over a shared or dedicated channel. You can use a half-duplex protocol over a full-duplex medium, but only one device at a time can transmit data. You define a half-duplex protocol by defining either the POL character or the AFF character.

Full-Duplex Devices Versus Half-Duplex Devices

Devices are full-duplex or half-duplex depending on their ability to receive and transmit data simultaneously. Both hardware and software design determine if a device is full or half-duplex. A full-duplex design requires a hardware UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) with double-buffered transmit and receive buffers. The UART signals the CPU when a character is received or when the transmit buffer is ready for another character. The software must perform the transmit or receive functions when the UART signals the CPU with an interrupt.

The DLE Character and XON/XOFF Flow Control

You use the DLE (data link escape) character to send protocol commands or parameters that you want to be treated as data. The DLE must precede the transparent command or parameter. The following protocol parameters are considered transparent if DLE is enabled: RES, REQ, SOM, TX EOM1, TX EOM2, and XON/XOFF.

You can send the DLE, EOR (end of record), and EOF (end of file) characters as data if each is preceded by an DLE.

5-5

Page 80

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

The XON or the XOFF character may match the LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check character). If so, the LRC is never checked for transparency. It is always treated as a parameter.

Received data is also checked for a DLE. The XON or XOFF character is interpreted as data if XON/XOFF flow control is enabled and the character is preceded by a DLE. In User-Defined protocol, the reader allows flow control to be implemented along with an LRC. The reader knows when the LRC character is expected. It does not perform the XON or XOFF character check when the LRC is the next character expected.

Working With Protocols

Data link protocols govern the way data is transmitted. They provide the framework for an orderly exchange of data between computers, terminals, and data collection devices. With most protocols, the reader (slave) never communicates unless the host (master) initiates the transaction with a poll/select sequence. Point-to-Point protocol is the exception.

Polling Mode D and Multi-Drop are very secure data link protocols designed to interface with the Intermec 9154 Network Controller and 9161 Port Concentrator. Both devices continuously poll bar code readers and printers for transactions and pass those transactions to the host computer.

Both Polling Mode D and Multi-Drop provide recovery from transmission errors (parity and framing errors) and use affirmative and negative responses to verify successful and unsuccessful communication events. If the transmitting device receives a negative acknowledgment, the data is retransmitted.

You use User-Defined and User-Defined Multi-Drop protocols to develop a custom protocol. You can define how secure the data link protocol will be and implement a master/slave data link with error recovery.

Point-to-Point Protocol

Point-to-Point protocol is designed specifically for Intermec readers where the reader is connected to a terminal or a host computer. Point-to-Point protocol has the following characteristics:

Full-duplex This protocol can send and receive data simultaneously. Asynchronous The data is sent one character at a time. Nonpolling The solicitation (POL) and handshake sequences (XON/XOFF) are

disabled. Whenever data is available to transmit, the data is transmitted immediately.

You can control the flow of data by enabling XON/XOFF or by sending the CTS command (Clear to Send) from the host.

5-6

Page 81

Data Communications and Operating Options

Point-to-Point accepts and then transmits all data to the host when either:

• the reader receives the EOM character.

• the timeout delay limit is reached.

Polling Mode D Protocol

Polling Mode D protocol is a proprietary Intermec block transfer protocol. It works in a Point-to-Point environment and supports only one polled device on the line. Polling Mode D protocol has these characteristics:

Half-duplex This protocol can send or receive data at one time. Asynchronous The data is sent one character at a time. Solicited The solicitation (POL) and handshake sequences (XON/XOFF) are

enabled and required.

Error checking The data block includes the LRC for data integrity.

You can set the Terminal Port mode for either transparent or buffered operation. The default is buffered. See “Displaying Data on a Terminal” later in this chapter for descriptions of transparent and buffered operation.

If you are connecting the reader to a host computer, you may need to know the details of Polling Mode D. However, if you are using an Intermec concentrator, you do not need to understand Polling Mode D. These Intermec concentrators use Polling Mode D protocol:

• 9160 with Rev. C software or higher

• 9160A and 9161B (Options 01 and 02)

• 9165 System Control Unit

Multi-Drop Protocol

You use Multi-Drop protocol in a data communications network where several devices are connected to a common line. It is designed to work in an RS-422/RS-485 environment with up to 32 devices on a single multi-drop transmission line.

Multi-Drop protocol has the following characteristics:

Half-duplex This protocol can send or receive data at one time. Asynchronous The data is sent one character at a time. Solicited The solicitation (POL) and handshake sequences (XON/XOFF) are

enabled and required. The 9154A and the 9161B Option 02 Intermec controllers support Multi-Drop

protocol.

5-7

Page 82

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

User-Defined and User-Defined Multi-Drop Protocols

You define all protocol parameters in User-Defined protocols. Thus, you can duplicate any protocol to emulate a proprietary or irregular protocol on a host computer.

Some protocols are very robust and secure, while others are not. A secure data link protocol can recover from transmission line errors (parity and framing errors) and uses affirmative and negative responses to verify communication events. If the transmitting device receives a negative acknowledgment, the data is retransmitted. The maximum retry count is three for all asynchronous Intermec protocols.

Tips for Defining Secure Protocols

Use these tips for defining secure User-Defined protocols:

1. Define all protocol fields with ASCII control characters. See the Glossary for definitions of unfamiliar acronyms and terms. Examples:

SOM = STX REQ = ENQ AFF = ACK RES = EOT NEG = NAK EOR1 = RS EOM1 = ETX EOF = ETB

2. Use even or odd parity when transmitting data.

3. Enable the LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check character) to provide added data security to all transmitted and received messages. When both parity and LRC checks are enabled, horizontal and vertical error checking are performed. If the SOM is enabled, it is not included in the LRC calculation. The reader allows the LRC to be enabled in addition to XON/XOFF flow control. The host device must also be able to receive the XON or XOFF character as the LRC or receive the XON or XOFF characters as data if preceded by the DLE.

4. If the host device cannot guarantee reception of data at all times, the host should control the transmission of data from the reader. There are three methods available. Use one of the methods or combine them:

a. Enable Solicitation. This prohibits the reader from sending any type of

data or response unless the host is ready for it. b. Enable XON/XOFF flow control. c. Use CTS (clear to send) hardware handshake. The reader checks CTS

before transmitting all characters with the exception of XON/XOFF

responses. If CTS is false, the reader either stops or does not start

transmitting data.

5. Always enable the SOM.

5-8

Page 83

Data Communications and Operating Options

6. If the REQ is enabled, also enable the RES. When the REQ is enabled, the reader waits for the timeout period to expire and then accepts the data. By enabling the RES, the host sends the RES when it recognizes the response (AFF) sent by the reader if the data was correctly received.

Buffering Received Data

The 9560 uses three different circular queues to hold received data.

20-byte queue Buffers all characters received. This queue serves as a buffer if

the data cannot be processed as fast as it is received. If XON/XOFF flow control is enabled, the device transmits the XOFF character when the queue is half full.

512-byte queue Buffers data characters only. When the data queue has 32 bytes

remaining, the reader sends the XOFF character to the host.

Packet queue Contains a pointer to the packet start position and a byte count.

This information is used to pass complete packets of successfully received messages to the operating system. The packet queue holds up to 20 packets. The device sends the XOFF character when the queue has 18 packets.

Communications Delays

While receiving data, the reader waits a specific time before sending an error message. You can modify this time in Point-to-Point or User-Defined protocols.

Intercharacter delay The amount of time the reader waits before sending each

character to the host. This delay modifies the outgoing transmission rate only. Use the intercharacter delay when communicating with a controller through modems in full-duplex operation.

Timeout The amount of time the reader waits between receiving each character

before sending an error message. Also, it is the amount of time the reader waits for an acknowledgment from the host before sending an error message.

Turnaround delay The amount of time the reader waits after receiving data

before sending a response to the host.

5-9

Page 84

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

Data Format Requirements

Regardless of the protocol you selected, the host and the reader must format the data before transmitting it. Each transmission includes a start character, the data block, and an end character. The SOM (start of message) character and the EOM (end of message) character are determined by the protocol. The data block may include preambles, data, and a postamble.

The following figure shows the data format parameters. The Intermec Data Communications Reference Manual describes these parameters in detail.

SOM Preamble Record Postamble EOM(s)

Data Block

SOM Character (Start of Message)

The SOM character precedes the data and indicates the beginning of a data block. The SOM character is a protocol character and is not part of the data format.

Preambles and Postambles

The preamble is a field of data sent before record data and a postamble is sent after record data. Preambles and postambles are typically used to tag transactions for rapid processing by the host computer. They are also used to expand the data field (record) length. The reader has two preambles, Preamble A and Preamble B, and one postamble, Postamble C.

If you select “Preamble A Required” in Configuration mode, you must also define Preamble A. For preamble commands, see Chapter 8, “Data Entry Commands.” Your preamble definition is erased if you reset the reader to the default settings. You will need to re-enter the preamble to use it again.

When the reader transmits a message block, the presentation control first checks to see if the preamble or postamble functions are enabled and defined. If they are, then the transmitted data has the following format:

<Preamble A> <Preamble B> message block <Time> <Postamble C>

The message may consist of a single record or multiple records. If a file is being transmitted with multiple records per message block, the message block has the following format:

record <EOR> record <EOR> record <EOR> last record <EOR> <EOF>

5-10

Page 85

Data Communications and Operating Options

• The EOF (End of File) is only transmitted after the last record of a file.

• Time is never appended to the transmitted files.

Preambles and the postamble are described more completely in Chapter 8, “Data Entry Commands.”

EOR Characters (End of Record)

Your destination for the data from the 9560 may require an end of record character in the data files. If you enable EOR, the reader adds the EOR character at the end of all the individual records within the file. EOR is disabled in Polling Mode D, Multi-Drop, and Point-to-Point protocols.

EOF Characters (End of File)

Your destination for the data from the 9560 may require an end of file character in the data file. The EOF character follows the last record transmitted within any record block, regardless of the size of the record block. If you enable EOF, the reader adds the EOF character after the last EOR character (if EOR is enabled).

EOF is disabled in Point-to-Point protocol. The default EOF character in Polling Mode D and Multi-Drop protocols is SOH.

Record

A record is a maximum of 128 data characters that can be stored in the reader’s memory. A record can be:

• Data from a regular label

• Data from several multiple-read labels

• Data from regular or multiple-read labels when the reader is in Accumulate mode

• Data entered from a 1700 keyboard or terminal keyboard

Records per Block

For all protocols except User-Defined protocol, the number of Records per Block is one. You can set Records per Block from 0 to 99 in User-Defined protocol. Setting this value to zero transmits the whole file within a single block.

5-11

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

EOM Characters (End of Message)

The EOM character follows the data and indicates the end of a data block. The EOM character is a protocol character and is not part of the data format. The 9560 can transmit one or two EOM characters.

If you use NUL for the first EOM character, the reader transmits the ASCII NUL character (00 Hex) and disables communications from the host. If you enter NUL for the second EOM character, the reader disables the second character and transmits nothing for the character. The characters cannot be the same, unless both are NUL.

Error Checking

In User-Defined protocol, the reader can add a Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) character to data transmissions. The host must have software to handle the LRC.

The LRC character is the exclusive “OR” of the seven (or eight) data bits in the data block. The LRC character is the last character sent, but it is not part of the data. For more detailed information, refer to the Data Communications Reference Manual.

Displaying Data on the 9560

The 9560 has either a 2-line by 40-character standard display or a 1-line by 20-character oversize display. You can scroll the standard display back two lines. You can scroll the oversize display back three lines, one line at a time.

Note: The keypad on the 9560 does not provide keys for scrolling. You must use an IRL program, scan bar code command labels, or use the arrow keys on the 1700 keyboard to scroll the display.

Types of Data Displayed

The reader distinguishes between four data types for the display:

Input data All data entered from the keyboard or an input device. This includes

IRL program statements being entered and displayed in the editor.

Host messages Any message received from the host at the reader modem port

with the correct protocol. Host messages can interrupt the current display at any time.

Reader prompts All messages to the operator, such as those that occur during

Prompting Configuration, with the exception of those messages that describe errors. This also includes IRL prompt statements when an IRL program is running.

5-12

Page 87

Data Communications and Operating Options

Reader warning messages All error or warning messages to the operator. These

messages can interrupt the current display at any time and are generally accompanied by a beep. If transparent display is selected, the error messages are not displayed.

Display Settings and Formatting

The reader has two display settings: buffered and transparent.

Buffered Display

In buffered display mode, the reader adds and executes a CR LF sequence to all transmitted, received, or scanned data or messages. The CR LF formats the reader display to show each record, message, or prompt on a new line.

After displaying a host message, the reader adds a CR LF sequence is to any accumulated data. The CR LF is then executed and any buffered accumulated data is displayed again on the next display operation.

Transparent Display

In transparent display mode the display does not format data or host messages with CR LF sequences. You use control codes or control sequences in host messages or IRL prompts to format data for the display.

Formatting the Display

You use control codes to position the cursor or format the reader display. The reader recognizes these display control codes:

Description Code Action

Backspace

Home Next line

Erase Display

BS (08 Hex)

CR (0D Hex) LF (0A Hex)

ESC[2J

Moves the cursor one position to the left until the cursor reaches the first column. Except when in the first row, the cursor moves from the first column of the current row to the last column of the previous row.

Returns the cursor to the first column of the current row. Moves the cursor down one row in the current column position.

If the cursor is already in the last row, a new line is added. Erases all of the display and returns the cursor to the home

position (row 1, column 1). Erases the entire virtual display image (buffer with up to four rows of the most recently displayed data).

If zero or no parameter is entered, the parameter is set equal to one. Parameters exceeding the maximum row or column number are set equal to the display’s maximum.

Saves the current cursor position. Successive Save Cursor Position commands overwrite previous positions saved.

Restores the cursor position saved with a Save Cursor Position command. Each Restore Cursor Position command must be paired with a preceding Save Cursor Position command. If a Save Cursor Position command has not been previously issued, the cursor position remains unchanged

Defines the character set to be used (character sets are defined later in this chapter). The character set to be used is specified by the # parameter.

Returns the display to the character set defined during configuration.

Display Overflow

The reader can receive more data than it can display at one time. The display overflow is stored in the virtual display image buffer of the reader. This buffer holds up to four rows of the most recently displayed.

The reader display is a window or viewport into the virtual display image. The 2-line by 40-character display shows the last two rows by default. The 1-line by 20-character display shows the last row by default.

You use the review and forward commands to move the display up or down in the current virtual display image. When you scroll the display up, the cursor is disabled. When you scroll the display back to the default position in the virtual display image, the cursor is restored.

Any event that alters the display returns the display to the default position. For example, entered data, accumulated data, or commands (such as Enter, Backspace, Clear, or End Accumulate) automatically return the display to the default position.

5-14

Page 89

Data Communications and Operating Options

Use these commands to modify the virtual display:

Command Result

Review Moves the display up one row in the current virtual display

image if a display control sequence was executed.

Forward Moves the display image down one row in the current virtual

display image following a review command.

Backspace Can cause the default display position to be moved up one row

in the current virtual display image if (1) display overflow has occurred since the last erase display control sequence, and (2) the command is executed with the cursor in the first column of the last display row.

Clear Executes multiple backspaces. Can also cause the default

display position to be moved up one or more rows in the current virtual display image.

Displaying ASCII Control Codes

The reader uses a center dot to display ASCII control code characters such as CR LF. The center dot is a unique programmed character distinguishable from all other ASCII characters.

The reader displays prompting configuration and IRL display control characters as a sequence of characters that can be displayed. Two to five characters can be used to display one control code. For example, the line feed control code could be displayed as <LF> or LF.

Displaying Data on a Terminal

When you connect the 9560 to a CRT terminal, you need to set the type of terminal operation. Typically, you set the display to match the reader’s terminal setting. Your choices as are follows:

• Buffered (default)

• Transparent

• Nonbuffered, full-duplex

• Nonbuffered, half-duplex

• Block

“Smart” terminal that can buffer several blocks of data

Buffered Terminal Operation

In buffered operation, the reader is usually connected to a port concentrator through the modem port and to the terminal through the terminal port. The reader emulates a smart terminal for batching transmissions to the host.

The reader buffers data from both the terminal and scanner, and then formats and displays that data on the terminal screen. The reader echoes input from the terminal until you send a command to transmit the data. The reader transmits the data to the host when one of these events occurs:

• The reader receives a Transmit command.

• The reader scans a regular label.

• You press Enter from the terminal keyboard.

Nonbuffered, full-duplex Point-to-Point

User-Defined

Nonbuffered, half-duplex Point-to-Point

User-Defined

Block operation Point-to-Point

User-Defined

You can use host control characters to format the terminal screen and display messages from the host. The terminal also displays communication diagnostics.

5-16

Page 91

Data Communications and Operating Options

If a host message interrupts a data transmission, the reader:

1. Sends a carriage return line feed (CR LF) to the terminal

2. Displays the host message on the terminal

3. Sends a CR LF to the terminal

4. Displays the entire contents of the preamble and data buffers on the terminal

Use one of these protocols when the terminal is in full-duplex:

• Point-to-Point

• Polling Mode D

• Multi-Drop

• User-Defined

Although you can configure the terminal in half-duplex, Intermec does not recommend it.

Transparent Terminal Operation

When the terminal is set to transparent operation, the host formats the terminal screen and the terminal does not display diagnostic messages. The reader accepts limited commands from the terminal.

The reader buffers data from both the terminal and scanner and displays the unformatted data on the terminal screen. The reader transmits the data to the host when one of these events occurs:

• The reader receives a Transmit command.

• The reader scans a regular label.

• You press Enter from the terminal keyboard.

Use one of these protocols when the terminal is in full-duplex:

• Point-to-Point

• Polling Mode D

• Multi-Drop

• User-Defined

Although you can configure the terminal in half-duplex, Intermec does not recommend it.

5-17

Page 92

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

Nonbuffered Full-Duplex Operation

In nonbuffered, full-duplex operation, the reader does not buffer, format, or display the data. The reader sends all terminal port input out the modem port as the data is received. The host echoes all received data, and formats and sends the data for displaying on the terminal screen. The reader does not accept terminal commands.

Use one of these protocols when the terminal is in nonbuffered, full-duplex mode:

• Point-to-Point

• User-Defined Although you can configure the terminal in half-duplex, Intermec does not

recommend it.

Nonbuffered Half-Duplex Operation

In nonbuffered half-duplex operation, the host formats the terminal screen. The reader transmits data to the host and the terminal screen simultaneously. The reader does not buffer or format data from the terminal or scanner, but displays and updates the current data buffer on the terminal screen.

The host must also be set for half-duplex operation and does not echo the terminal or reader data. The reader sends host messages directly to the terminal without formatting, and the reader does not accept terminal commands.

Although you can configure the terminal in full-duplex, Intermec does not recommend it.

Use one of these protocols when the terminal is in nonbuffered, half-duplex mode:

• Point-to-Point

• User-Defined

Block Terminal Operation

Block terminal operation is generally used with “smart” terminals that can buffer data. The reader does not buffer, format, or display data from the terminal but sends this data directly out the modem port to the host.

The reader sends scanned data directly to the terminal through the terminal port to accumulate in the terminal buffer. The reader does not accept terminal commands.

5-18

Page 93

Data Communications and Operating Options

You must set the host for half-duplex operation. The reader does not format messages from the host, but displays host messages directly on the terminal screen.

Although you can configure the terminal in full-duplex, Intermec does not recommend it.

Use one of these protocols when the terminal is in half-duplex mode:

• Point-to-Point

• User-Defined

Displaying International Character Sets

The 9560 supports nine character sets: US-ASCII, seven Western European character sets, and the Japanese Katakana character set. You can use these character sets only during Data Entry mode or during IRL execution. Sign-on messages, error messages, Prompting Configuration mode, IRL Editor, and IRL Monitor always use the US-ASCII character set.

You define the character set you want to display with a configuration parameter or a display command. This table lists the display configuration commands.

DX# Display Language

0 US-ASCII 1 French 2 German 3 United Kingdom 4 Danish 5 Swedish 6 Italian 7 Spanish 8 Japanese Katakana

The following table lists the ASCII characters that change for the seven European languages. The top row indicates the ASCII hexadecimal value, and the remaining rows display the various characters for each character set. Only the eleven characters displayed in this table change in any character set.

The Katakana character set is discussed in the next section.

Entering Katakana Characters

You can enter Katakana characters in two different ways: you can use keyboard mapping, and you can type in Ro-maji:

• Keyboard mapping (Kana entry style) maps the Katakana characters to specific keys on your 1700 keyboard. The reader maps different Katakana characters to the uppercase and lowercase Roman letters and numerals. You access some Katakana characters by holding down the Alt key and pressing another key. Special characters and numbers are not converted.

• The Ro-maji entry style translates Roman letters and phonetic input to produce Katakana characters. Case is not important.

Note: The 9560 keypad does not have an Alt key. You can use the 1700 keyboard or a terminal to enter characters that require the Alt key.

To set the reader to use the Japanese Katakana character set

1. Enter Prompting Configuration mode by pressing Ctrl E from the keyboard or scan the label below:

Enter Prompting Configuration

*$+$+*

2. Press Enter until the prompt OP PARAMETERS is displayed.

3. Press Space until the YES prompt is displayed.

4. Press Enter to edit the operating parameter settings.

5. Press Enter until the CHARACTER SET prompt is displayed.

6. Press Space until KATAKANA is displayed.

7. Press Enter. The ENTRY STYLE selection is displayed.

8. Press Space to toggle between KANA and RO-MAJI entry styles.

9. Press Enter to select the desired entry style.

Continue to configure the reader by using the following procedure to assign a function key to toggle between US-ASCII and Katakana. Use this feature to type US-ASCII letters while you are typing Katakana characters.

5-25

9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual

Assigning a Function Key to Katakana and US-ASCII Character Sets

You can assign one function key to toggle between US-ASCII and Katakana, or you can assign a different function key to select each character set. The function keys you assign work only when the reader is configured to use the Katakana character set.

To assign a function key

1. Press Space until the function key you want to assign for the US KEY is

displayed.

2. Press Enter.

3. Press Space until the function key you want to assign for the KATAKANA

KEY is displayed.

Note: If you assign the same function key to US-ASCII and Katakana, it toggles between the two character sets.

4. Press Enter.

5. Press Esc to exit Prompting Configuration mode, or scan the following bar

code:

Exit Prompting Configuration

*$-*

You can now use your reader to enter Katakana characters.

Kana Mode Character Tables

Use the following three tables for typing Japanese characters in Kana mode with the 1700 keyboard. The first table lists the Katakana characters in Roman alphabetical order. Type the character in the Key column to get the character in the next column.

The second table lists the Roman characters in Japanese alphabetical order. The last table lists the special characters in Japanese alphabetical order.
