XON/XOFF On

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using
software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no
data flow control is used.

RTS/CTS

The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and waits indefinitely for
CTS to be asserted by the host.

Default = RTS/CTS Off.

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start send­ing data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the
host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission
stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex

11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.

Default = XON/XOFF Off

.

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a
NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the commu­nications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK
is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits

Automatic Trigger

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig­ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 9-4). When in manual trigger
mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol­lows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger
when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has
timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a
serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the
time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the
inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for
ambient conditions until a change occurs in the scanner’s field of view. Then
the LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is
not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Continuous Illumination Mode

If you have several bar codes that are close together, you may wish to have a
continuous aiming beam on in order to properly aim the scanner at one bar
code. Scan the Continuous Illumination On bar code to program the scanner
for this capability. Once you have the aiming beam over the correct bar code,
pull the trigger to read the code. Scan the Continuous Illumination Off bar
code to turn off this feature.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the
scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner
should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls)
the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure the scanner
reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes
are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are
read.

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or
output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the
scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify
using the Left of Centering Window, or Right of Centering Window bar
codes.

In the example below, the red line is the full scanner field of view and the white
boxed area is the centering window. The centering window has been set to
20% left and 30% right, as shown in the legend at the bottom. Since Bar Code
1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not
pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the left

C - Code 93

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes,
but you want the image scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and
Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to
count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the
length. If you use the example on page 3-12, but assume a <CR> suffix and
specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section
are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break­down of a message string:

Prefix

Points to Keep In Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter
are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.

Default suffix = None

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252) on page A-2, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on
the output.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the
specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which
includes header information

.

Default prefix = None.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or

suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

4 - 1

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252) on page A-2, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to

create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-2) for UPC.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252) on page A-2, for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol­ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is
deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),
all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts
of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on

page 7-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-

verted to a key code before it is transmitted.

Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage
Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For exam­ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used
only if you wish to alter the output.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands
on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

Default Data Format setting = None.

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 256 bytes, which includes
header information. No format can contain more than 50 bytes.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-8).

Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format scan 0 using the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alter-

are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 5-4) and locate the Ter­minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the
inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must
enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In Appendix A find the symbology to which you want to apply the data
format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit
hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program-

ming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters

is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-4). Scan the
symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanu­meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual to save your entries.

Message Length

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies.
If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length,
the scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for
minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code
data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the
scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a
symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concat­enated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this func­tion is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a
space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately trans­mit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes
