Barcode Masking
Barcode masking provides a way of extracting certain portions of a barcode for
processing. The masking operations include selecting up to 2 substrings from the
barcode, and also adding prex and sufx characters. You program in a mask when
you do not want to process all of the data from a barcode, but only a portion of it.
When a barcode is read, the reader checks to see if a mask should be applied.
Masks are applied based on the barcode symbology, and length of the barcode.
For example, you can set up a mask to work only on 10 character code39
barcodes. If a code39 barcode is not 10 characters, you can elect to ignore it (don’t
process) or pass the barcode through without masking (pasthru mode). It is also
possible to program a mask to work on all lengths of a specic symbology.
After masking, the barcode data will look like this:
INTRODUCTION
prex character + substring 1 + inter character + substring 2 + sufx
character
The mask needs to include only 1 of the above items.
A total of 10 masks can be programmed in the reader. The masks can be for
different symbologies, or all for the same symbology.
When programming a mask, 3 commands need to be processed by the reader (see
page 21).
For wiegand output Qscans, the masking is performed prior to the wiegand
extractions which create the wiegand output (see page 48).
Page 11
Page 12
Qscan User’s Guide Version 1.4
Proximity & iClass Masking
Proximity and Iclass masking works in a similar way to the barcode masking
explained above. Characters can be inserted into the data and substrings can be
extracted.
There are three programmable masks that can be programmed for prox and
iClass card reading. Each mask is associated with a programmed bit length for a
specic card. When programming the input format (card denition) for a specic
card, the masks (if any) are also programmed in.
This differs somewhat from the barcode masking. With the barcode masking you
program the masks independently of the barcode symbologies, and the masks
are triggered by both symbology and length. With the prox/iClass masking, the
masks are triggered by the length (bit length) only.
Relay
The Relay (optional) allows you to control external equipment, such as a door
or indicator. It can be activated and deactivated by sending serial commands
to the reader. The maximum allowable relay time is 99 seconds, and maximum
allowable power that can be pushed through the relay is 500ma, 30VDC.
The relay is a Form-C with common, normally open, and normally closed
connections.
INTRODUCTION
Qscans can optionally be ordered with Power over Ethnernet. With Power over
Ethernet, you do not need a separate power supply or ac adapter.

Hid 5352 Emulation
Qscans with an rs232 interface can be programmed to simulate the output from
an Hid 5352 reader, using the 37 bit format.
Arming Loop
Either of the 2 digital inputs in the Qscan can be programmed to operate as
an armed loop. In the armed loop mode, if the arming loop is not ativated, the
Qscan will not transmit any data. Arming loops are typically used in parking
applications. If there is no car present, the arming loop will not be active,
therefore all barcode reads will be ignored.
Leds
There are two leds on the Qscan. The led to the left is a bi-color led, and can be
programmed to operate in one of three modes - off to red, off to green, red to
green. The right led is a green led only. Typically, Qscans with a wiegand interface
will be connected to a device (a controller) which will control one or both of the
leds. For Qscans with a serial interface, the leds will be controlled by sending serial
commands to the reader.
INTRODUCTION
Qscans with an emulations-style interface (wiegand, mag, f2f) can be wired in a
way which allows serial communications. You can go into this operating mode to
send commands to the Qscan for programming, and also for rmware updates.

Data Flow
The following explains the data ow in the reader for a better understanding of how
data is processed.
Barcode:
Read Barcode
If symbology (barcode type) not allowed - ignore
If pdf417, check for driver’s license parsing and parse if required.
If masking is on, mask the barcode according to the mask specications.
If rs232, tcp/ip, f2f, aba, or wand output - transmit data (nished)
INTRODUCTION
If wiegand output - generate the wiegand output data (bits). If successful, transmit
the wiegand data (nished). If not sucessessful, ignore data.
Prox/iClass:
Read Card
If a wiegand output reader, and passthru is turned on - pass the prox/iClass data to
the wiegand output undisturbed.
If card bit length matches a dened format, extract the numbers for each dened
eld. If it does not match a dened format - ignore. If any of the eld descriptions
cause an overow to occur - ignore.
If masking is on, mask the resulting data according to the format.
If rs232, tcp/ip, f2f, aba, or wand output - transmit data (nished)
If wiegand output - generate the wiegand output data (bits). If successful, transmit
the wiegand data (nished). If not sucessessful, ignore data.

Programming
Qscans can be programmed in two ways:
1) Scanning control barcodes.
2) Sending commands to the reader serially.
Scanning Control Barcodes:
Make a Code39 barcode starting with %U followed by the command and
scan the barcode. Note that control card processing can be turned off by either a serial
command or a control barcode.
Serial commands:
PROGRAMMING
Send the command to the reader serially by making a direct connection to the reader
and then sending the command, followed by a carriage return (hex 0D). If using a
terminal emulation program, the 0D is sent by hitting the enter key.
Qscan readers that have a wiegand output can be connected to a serial port for
i
sending commands. See page 55 for further information.
Command Format:
All programming commands are detailed in the following format:

Because of the structure of 2 of 5 barcodes, it is possible that reading
only part of the barcode will result in a valid decode, with undesired
results. To suppress this problem, it is best to use check digits with 2 of
5 symbologies (if available) or restrict the lengths for these barcodes so
that partial decodes cannot occur. You can program up to two different
lengths for each of the supported 2 of 5 symbologies. If you prefer to
leave it wide open, then you can set the lengths to 00.

PROGRAMMING
Turn on Alpha Delete to delete any alpha characters from the barcode.
This is useful when a numeric only output is required such as wiegand.
Masking allows you to mask out information from the barcode, leaving
only that portion of the barcode that you wish to process.
Kronos mode autodiscriminates Kronos cards (17 digit code 39 and 18
digit I 2of5). Kronos mode 1 extracts the rst 2 digits of the site code
and the lowest 5 digits of the ID. Kronos mode 2 forces a site code of 0,
and extracts the lowest 9 digits of the ID.
Usic/Cac sets the options for processing DOD Usic cards and Cac cards.
Set to 0, Usic and Cac barcodes are processed like any other barcode. If
set to 1, Usic and Cac cards are processed according to the parameters
that you have programmed. If set to 2, all barcodes are ignored unless
they meet the characteristics for Usic and Cac cards.

BARCODE MASKING
All 3 commands need to be processed by the reader to properly set a
mask.
Masking must be explicitly turned on with the X012 command on page
xxx.
The value for prex, sufx, and inter character is represented in
decimal ascii form (041 = “A”, 039 = “9”).
If b (or y) is set to a 1, then the extracted data starts at a position
“start position” relative to the end of the barcode.
See the following pages for a detailed explanation and examples.
If needed, all masks can be cleared with one command. See the X014
command on page 25.

PROGRAMMING
BARCODE MASKING
Masking can be programmed only for the barcode types listed above.
Page 22
Page 23
Qscan User’s Guide Version 1.4
Notes on using the Barcode Masking Commands:
If (“ctt”) matches the type of barcode read, and the length of the barcode matches
(“llnn”) then the barcode is masked according to the programmed parameters. If the
length (“llnn”) is set to 0000, then the mask will apply to all barcodes of the specic
symbology specied by (“ctt”).
If any of the parameters causes the mask to be invalid, the barcode is not processed
and the reader acts as if it has read a disallowed barcode (bad beep indicator). For
example, attempting to extract 10 digits starting at position 5, on a barcode that is
only 12 digits in length, is invalid.
PROGRAMMING
The pasthru option allows you to specify what to do when a barcode that is read
matches the selected barcode symbology (“ctt”) but does not match the required
length (“llnn”). In this case, you have the option of disallowing the barcode (option 0),
or passing the barcode through so that the other masks may be tested.
An example would be where you want to restrict barcode reading to two different
lengths of code 39 barcodes, namely 10 digits and 15 digits. You will set up the rst
mask to operate on a length of 10, with the passthru option on (“r=1”). Code 39
barcodes with a length other than 10 will not be processed by this mask, put passed
through to the next (2nd) mask. Set the 2nd mask to operate on code 39 barcodes
with a length of 15, with no passthru (“r=0”). In this case, 10 digit code 39 barcodes
are handled by mask 1, 15 digit code 39 barcodes are handled by mask 2, and all other
code 39 barcodes are ignored by the reader.
The start positions (“sss1,sss2”) are the positions in the barcode where the data
extraction starts. This position can be relative to the beginning of the barcode
(b=0 or y=0), or the end of the barcode (“b=1 or y=1”). If you want to take the last
“x” characters in the barcode, set the backwards indicator (“b or y”) to a 1.
The wiegand processing routines contain their own form of masking.
If processing a barcode for wiegand output, the programmable
masking within the weigand commands may be sufcient. Using
i
the general masking commands may not be necessary for simplied
masking (see page 48).
BARCODE MASKING
Masking Examples:
For code 39 barcodes of any length , take the rst 5 positions only:
X010 01 001 0000 0
X011 01 000 0001 0 005
X012 01 000 0000 0 000 000

X011 01 065 0001 0 005
X012 01 000 0000 0 000 000
For code 39 barcodes of length 10, take the last 5 characters. For all other code 39 barcodes,
pass thru and do not mask:
X010 01 001 0010 1
X011 01 000 0005 1 005
X012 01 000 0000 0 000 000
For code 39 barcodes of any length, take all characters after position 4:
X010 01 001 0000 0
X011 01 000 0005 0 000
X012 01 000 0000 0 000 000
For code 39 barcodes of length 10, take the last 5 characters. For code 39 barcodes of length
15, take the last 10 characters. Ignore all other code 39 barcodes (don’t pass thru):
X010 01 001 0010 1

Programming the Wiegand Output Formats (barcode)
The standard wiegand output permits the transmission of wiegand formats of up to
194 bits, containing up to three elds (site, id, and issue). Each eld can contain up
to 64 bits each. Two parity bits may also be programmed.
Different wiegand output formats can be dened. The format that is used is
dependent on the data which is read by the reader. There are 2 denable formats
for barcode data.
For barcode data, the format that is used depends on the nal length of the barcode
data after masking. You can specify a barcode length to be matched for each of the
formats. If the barcode length mathes the format’s length, then that format is used.
A length of 0 can be used to dene one format as the default format to be used for
all barcode reads. Note that a format needs to be active (“a=1”) to be recognized.
Each format contains the denitions of how the data is to be transmitted. These
denitions include:
The number of bits to be used for the site, id, and issue elds
(“ss,bb,ii”)
A setting to organize each eld as msb or lsb (“x,y,z”)
PROGRAMMING
BARCODE -> WIEGAND OUT
The location(s) in the barcode where the data for each eld is to be
extracted (“ssss,bbbb,iiii”)
The number of characters to use for each of of those elds (“sd,bd,id”)
Which elds are to be included in the output format (“h,i,j”)
Number of bits to be used for left and right parity (“lpp,rpp”)
An indicator to force an override of the site code (“k”).
An example of programming a standard 26 bit wiegand output follows. The format
will be set up to work on all barcodes that are read, regardless of the length of the
barcode. The rst 3 digits of the barcode will be used for the site code, and the next
5 digits will be used for the id. No issue code will be present:

An example of a 50 bit format, using 32 bits for the id, 8 for the site, 8 for the issue
code, and 2 parity bits. The site code will be taken from the rst 3 digits of the
barcode. The next 5 digits will be used for the id, and the next digit for the issue
code. The rst bit of the output will be a left parity bit calculated from the following
24 bits. The last bit (bit 50) will be a parity bit calculated from the preceding 24 bits:
X015 1 0000 0001 03 0004

Command Notes:
BARCODE -> WIEGAND OUT
If site code start (“ssss”) is 0000, then no site code is extracted from the barcode
data. You may still include bits in the output format for the site code, except the
site code data will not come from the barcode. It will default to 0, unless you have
programmed a site override.
If site code digits (“sd”) is set to 00, then all remaining digits in the barcode are
used for the site code.
If id start (“bbbb”) is 0000, then no id is extracted from the barcode data. You may
Page 28

still include bits in the output format for the id, except the id will not come from the
barcode. It will default to 0.
If id digits (“bd”) is set to 00, then all remaining digits in the barcode are used for
the id.
If issue code start (“iiii”) is 0000, then no issue code is extracted from the barcode
data. You may still include bits in the output format for the issue code, except the
issue code data will not come from the barcode. It will default to 0.
If issue code digits (“id”) is set to 00, then all remaining digits in the barcode are
used for the issue code.
If site code bits (“ss”) is set to 00, then there will be no site bits in the output.
If id bits (“bb”) is set to 00, then there will be no id bits in the output.
If issue code bits (“ii”) is set to 00, then there will be no issue bits in the output.
PROGRAMMING BARCODE -> WIEGAND OUT
If the lsb indicator (“x,y,z”) is on for any specic eld, then the output data for
that eld is set up using the least signicant bit rst. The default for most wiegand
formats is to use msb (most signicant bit rst).
The number of parity bits used for left parity is set by (“lpp”). If set to 000 then
there is no left parity bit.
The number of parity bits used for right parity is set by (“rpp”). If set to 000 then
there is no right parity bit.
Parity bits are calculated using sequential bits starting at the beginning of the output
bitstream for left parity, and starting at the end for right parity. Parity is even on the
left and odd on the right, unless changed using the X026 or X027 commands.
You do not have to include all of the elds (site, id, issue) in the wiegand output data
stream. The (“h,i,j”) parameters dene which elds are to be output and in which
order. A 1 refers to the site code eld, 2 refers to the id eld, 3 refers to the issue
code eld, and 0 means no eld. To generate a wiegand output stream with only an
id eld, the values will be 2 0 0. To generate a stream with site and id, the values will
be 1 2 0. To generate a eld with id rst, then site, then issue, it would be 2 1 3.
A site override can be programmed using the X018 and X022 commands. To turn site
override processing on, (“k”) must be set to a 1.

(“ssss”) data will be right justied in a zero lled eld. If the site eld is smaller
than 16 bits, then the lowest bits in the override value are used up to the size
of the site eld.

Programming for Prox and iClass reading
Qscan can read proximity and iClass cards up to 250 bits in length. Prox and
iClass card data can be passed through directly to the output (if the Qscan
has wiegand output), or processed directly by the Qscan. If processed directly
by the Qscan, the card format(s) need to be programmed into the Qscan so
that it can correctly read the card. This involves programming the starting bit
location and number of bits for each eld to be processed from the card, and
the number of digits to reserve for each of the elds.
Three prox/iClass formats can be programmed into the Qscan. Each format
is identied by the number of bits dened in the format. When a card is read
that matches the bit count dened in the format - that format is used by
the Qscan to further process the data. When processing the format, Qscan
will interpret the data on the card to produce the proper numeric value(s).
The maximum size of the allowable numeric values is dened by the sc,ic,uc
parameters. If the card data is too large to t into any of the dened elds,
the card is ignored.
Example programming Prox input Format # 1 for a standard 26 bit input:
X048 026 002 08 0 010 16 0
X049 000 00 0 03 05 00
In the above example, the format is set up for 26 bits, with the site code
starting at bit 2 for a length of 8 bits. Site code data on the card is msb. The
id starts at bit position 10 and is a length of 16 bits, also msb. The second
Page 43
Page 44
Qscan User’s Guide Version 1.4
command denes an issue code eld start at 000 which means do not
process the Issue Code (there isn’t one in the 26 bit format). Three digits
are reserved for the site code, and 5 for the id.
After reading and processing by the Qscan, the site code is converted into a
3 digit number, and the id is converted into a 5 digit number. Both elds are
concatenated together to form an 8 digit number in this example. Qscans
always concatenate converted proximity/iClass data in the order of site, id,
and issue code. The resulting length will be the total of the sc, ic, and uc
parameters.
PROGRAMMING
Reading a sample card containing site=5 and id=1025, the data created by
the Qscan for transmission using the above example would be 00501025.
If the sc,ic,uc parameters were 05,05,00, then the result would be
0000501025. If you have a Qscan with a serial output (rs232, tcp/ip), aba
output, wand, or f2f output then this is the data you would see. If your
Qscan has a wiegand output the data will be transmitted according to the
output format you have programmed.
If masking is turned on for prox/iClass data, then the data produced above
(00501025) would then be processed using the mask parameters.
Example programming Prox input Format # 1 for a standard 26 bit
input, yielding a 3 digit site code and a 5 digit id, with a prex of “A” put

PROX/ICLASS -> WIEGAND OUT
The site code data in the wiegand output is taken from the data characters
starting at position ss for a length of sl. Id and issue code data is also extracted
the same way. If any of the elds are not used, or will be defaulted to 0, then
00 is used for the start position. A length of 00 for sl,il,ul is used to take all of
the remaining characters in the data and put them into the eld. sb,ib, ub are
the bit counts to be used for each eld in the output. If any of the elds are to
be lsb, a,b,c are set to a 1. lpp is the number of bits to use for left parity, 000 if
no left parity. rpp is the number of bits to use for right parity, 000 if none. oooo
is a 4-character hexadecimal value used as a site overide (right justied). To be
active, the site override must be turned on usng the X069 command. ss should
be left at 00.

For any of the three prox/iclass formats, o2 the 2 barcode formats, you
can specify one of the predened special formats. Specify 00 for any
format which will not utilize one of the special formats.
To use the corporate 1000 format, you must also set the site bits to 12,
id bits to 20, with parities turned off. The eld order should be 1,2,0.
To use the Andover 37 bit format, set the site bits to 12, id bits to 19,
issue bits to 4, with no parities. Set the eld order to 3,1,2.

Programming the Wiegand Output Formats (prox/iClass cards)
The standard wiegand output permits the transmission of wiegand formats of
up to 194 bits, containing up to three elds (site, id, and issue). Each eld can
contain up to 64 bits each. Two parity bits may also be programmed.
Different wiegand output formats can be dened. The format that is used
is dependent on the data which is read by the reader. There are 3 denable
formats for proximity/Iclass data.
For proximity and iClass cards, the format that is used is dependent on the
number of bits on the card (each of the three input format denitions have
their own output denition as well).
Each format contains the denitions of how the data is to be transmitted.
These denitions include:
The number of bits to be used for the site, id, and issue elds
(“ss,bb,ii”)
A setting to organize each eld as msb or lsb (“x,y,z”)
The location(s) in the barcode where the data for each eld is to be
extracted (“ssss,bbbb,iiii”)
PROGRAMMING
PROX/ICLASS -> WIEGAND OUT
The number of characters to use for each of of those elds (“sd,bd,id”)
Which elds are to be included in the output format (“h,i,j”)
Number of bits to be used for left and right parity (“lpp,rpp”)
A site override (“oooo”).
Example programming Prox input Format # 1 for a standard 26 bit input to an
8 digit number (3 site, 5 issue) and then transmitting as
a 32 bit number (16 site + 16 id):
X048 026 002 08 0 010 16 0
X049 000 00 0 03 05 00
X060 01 03 04 05 00 00
X061 16 16 00 0 0 0 000 000
X062 1 2 0 0000 00
Page 48
Page 49
Qscan User’s Guide Version 1.4
Example programming two prox formats. The rst format is a 26 bit input which will
be transmitted as a 26 bit output. The second format will be a 34 bit input ( 1 parity,
16 site, 16 id, 1 parity) retransmitted as a 26 bit output. The passthru option
cannot be used in this case because the passthru option applies to all bit formats.
The transformation from 34 to 26 bits is ok in this case because all of the known
cards in the eld utilize site codes below 255.

PROGRAMMING
Command Notes:
If site start position (“ss”) is 00, then no site code is extracted from the intermediate
data. You may still include bits in the output format for the site code, except the site
code data will be 0, unless you have programmed a site override.
If site code digits (“sd”) is set to 00, then all remaining digits in the intermediate
data are used for the site code.
If id start position (“is”) is 00, then no id is extracted from the intermediate data.
You may still include bits in the output format for the id, except the id will default to
0.
If id digits (“il”) is set to 00, then all remaining digits in the intermediate data are
used for the id.
If issue code start position (“us”) is 00, then no issue code is extracted from the
intermediate data. You may still include bits in the output format for the issue code,
except the issue code data will default to 0.
If issue code digits (“ul”) is set to 00, then all remaining digits in the intrmediate
data are used for the issue code.
If site code bits (“sb”) is set to 00, then there will be no site bits in the output.
If id bits (“ib”) is set to 00, then there will be no id bits in the output.
Page 49
Page 50
Qscan User’s Guide Version 1.4
If issue code bits (“ub”) is set to 00, then there will be no issue bits in the
output.
If the lsb indicator (“a,b,c”) is on for any specic eld, then the output data
for that eld is set up using the least signicant bit rst. The default for most
wiegand formats is to use msb (most signicant bit rst).
The number of parity bits used for left parity is set by (“lpp”). If set to 000
then there is no left parity bit.
PROGRAMMING
The number of parity bits used for right parity is set by (“rpp”). If set to 000
then there is no right parity bit.
The wiegand output bit structure can consist of 3 elds, plus parities. The
(“1,2,3”) parameters allow you to chose the elds to include and the order of
the elds.
Example: 1,2,0 = transmit site and id
2,0,0 = transmit id only
1,2,3 = transmit site, id, and issue in that order
2,1,0 = transmit id, then site
A site override (“oooo”) can be programmed. This is a 4 character hexadecimal
value (maximum of 16 bits, right justied) which will be used as an override
for the site code if the override X069 is turned on.
(“ss”) refers to a special format number which may be assigned by ibc in
future rmware upgrades. Leave this parameter as 00 unless you have special
rmware assigned by IBC.

Updating Firmware and Serial Emulation
You can update Qscan readers using the ibc Flash Utility found on our website at
http://interbar.com.
Rs232 and Tcp/ip readers can be updated directly through their serial connections.
To update Qscan readers with emulations interfaces you will need to make a cable to
connect the reader to a pc or laptop. The wiring connections are:
Red Power
Blue Ground and DB9 pin 5
Green DB9 pin 2
Yellow DB9 pin 3
Connect Orange and White together
Connect DB9 pins 7 and 8 together
SERIAL EMULATION AND FIRMWARE UPDATES
You must connect orange and white together before applying power. This is the
signal to the Qscan reader that you want to start up in a serial mode so that you can
download the new rmware. The reader will start up at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity.
Besides updating rmware, Qscan readers with an emulations interface can be started
up in the serial mode for the following purposes:
Sending programming commands to the reader
Viewing barcode data through the serial connection.
In case you are having issues with wiegand programming not working and you need
to view what is encoded in a barcode, you can do this with a seial connection using
the wiring pinout described above. Use the terminal mode from any of the ibc utility
software programs to view the data.
