Programming the Posiflex CD-3830

To program the CD-3830, you must scan a series of programming barcode in the correct order. Fold out the back cover of this manual. You will see a table of alphanumeric barcodes, which are used to program the various options presented.

To program each option, you must:

1. Scan the Program barcode on the parameter setting part.

2. Enter the option mode by scanning the Option Bar Code

(also on the Parameter setting part).

3. To the right of the op t ion barcode, the necessary

alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan these alphanumeric entries from the back fold out page. To confirm above steps, you must scan the Finish barcode on the back fold out page.

4. Once you have finished programming. Scan the Exit

barcode, listed on the lower right hand corner of each parameter setting part.

Interface Selection

This decoder build-in scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge, wand emulation, and the latest USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable with a device code will work for a specific interface. Interface selection: You can change factory interface default for other type interface. By plugging different cables, setting right interface, then the scanner will be changed to another interface. However, you must make sure which cable you need. Keyboard/RS232/UBS Auto detection: By setting this function, it will automatically select the Keyboard wedge or RS-232 or UBS interface for user.

Keyboard wedge

As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. The installation of the wedge is a fairly simple process without any changes of software or hardware.

Keyboard Layout: The selecting of keyboard layout

supports many country languages other than USA keyboard layout. First you need to confirm country language that you desire. In DOS, using command “keyb” to select the desirable keyboard layout or in WINDOWS entry “Control” then pops “Keyboard” to select country at “language” item. For details, please refer to your DOS or WINDOWS user’s manual. Keyboard Speed: By selecting, you can change output speed of scanner to match with host computer. Generally, set

00 or 01 in working high speed. If some output characters of barcode have been lost, you may need to set 05 or 06 to match your host keyboard speed. Function Key: Set Enable, scanner can output code as pressing function-key i n your application program while the barcode data contain ASCII value between 0116 to 1F16. Refer to ASCII table, page 89. Numeric Key: The Keypad has to be selected if your application program is only keypad numeric code acceptable. So, scanner will output code as press numeric keypad when it read numeric digit. (The keypad is in the right side of keyboard, and Num Lock control key is also on.) If

Alt+Keypad is selected, Caps Lock and output will be independent.

Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on selftest. It is recommended to Enable function if you are working without keyboard installatio n. It simulates keyboard timing and pass keyboard present status to the PC during power -on.

Inte r-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data characters transmitted. If the transmission speed is too high, the system may not be able to receive all characters. Adjust it and try out suited delay to make system work properly.

Flow control: None-Th e communication only uses TxD and RxD signals

without regard for any hardware or software handshaking protocol. RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay) duration, the scanner will issue a 5 warning beeps. Xon/Xoff- When the host computer is unable to accept data, it sends a Xoff code to inform the scanner to suspend data transmission, and Xon to continue. ACK/NAK- When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the

scanner waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or (not acknowledge) from the host computer after data transmission, and will resend in response to a NAK.

Scan

Scanning mode: Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed to

activate scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.

Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to activate scanning and release button to stop scanning. Alternate-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop scanning. Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning, and scanner stops scanning when no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Continue-The scanner always keeps reading, and it does not matter when trigger button is pressed or duration is elapsed.

Same Barcode delay time: If the barcode has been scanned twice, then only the first barcode will be accepted.

Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times successful decoding to confirm the barcode data. The more confirming times required the more inhibitive mis s-reading code will be shown. If you set Double confirm, the Multi field scan E nable function won’t be able to work.

Scan

Multi field scan: The scanner can be read many sets of

barcode data on the same scanning line at the same time, even if they are different kinds of barcode symbology. Global min./max. code length: Global Minimum and Maximum length can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as the actual barcode data length to be sent. Label with length exceeds these limits will be rejected. Make sure that the Minimum length setting is no greater than the

Maximum length setting, or other w i se the labels of the symbology will not be readable. In particular, you can set the same value for both Minimum and Maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode decoded. The values of setting have no effect on certain symbologies with fixed length. Notes 1): Please set the min/max length if you have special

demand for individual barcode.

2): Include the Check sum digits if you want to set Global min/max code length.

Inverted image scan: Set Enabled t he scanner will scan both black/white barcode with white/black background. CTS trigger: This operation enabled an external device to control scanning. The CTS trigger is controlled by apply an external trigger signal to the CTS input. When active, this signal causes scanning to begin as the scanner’s trigger was depressed. Position indication: This function can indicate the specific location before scanning. You can also set up the time of indication.
