Notes about structure and electric circuit design
1. Suggest using non-magnetic screws, when mounting the scanner. Magnetic screws can cause
element/mirror neutral position to change.
2. It is recommended to use a thread locking method, such as a Nylok patch.
3. Do not place magnetic material (e.g. dynamic speakers, ringers, vibrators, inductors, metal parts)
within 1 inch of the scanner chassis. Evaluate placement of all magnetic or ferrous material during
system layout to determine if 1 inch is sufficient.
4. Leave sufficient space to accommodate the maximum size of the scanner.
5. Read section “
1-2 Electrical interface/Pin assignment
”, carefully to learn about the electrical
interface design.

3-2 RS-232 interface
Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TXD and RXD signals without 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 duration,
the scanner will issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS or Host idle: High RTS), the
scanner can be set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
ACK/NAK-After data transmitted, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not
acknowledge) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same
data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when
NAK are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the scanner when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.
Host-character delay: This delay is the time that the scanner waits for the host to send the next character
in serial communication, it is based on 1ms increments.
Data package:
Disable: The scanner sends the decoded data directly.
Enable: The decoded data is sent in data package mode (see section “
4-4 DECODE_DATA
”).

3-3 USB interface
USB device type:
HID keyboard– By setting, the scanner is used as a USB HID keyboard emulation device.
USB virtual COM– By setting, the scanner emulate a regular RS232-based COM port. If a Microsoft
Windows PC is connected to the scanner, a driver is required to install on the connected PC. The
driver will use the next available COM Port number. The driver and the installation guide can be found
in the associated CD and on the manufacturer’s website. A Windows-based software COM_Text is
recommended to display the barcode data in text format. COM_Text emulates some kind of serial-key
typing.
The scanner will send the data in data package by the USB interface, if the data package is enabled
(see section "
3-2 RS-232 Interface
"). while the USB works in USB virtual serial port operating mode,
the USB virtual serial port will follow the ACK / NAK flow control, if the RS232 interface uses ACK /
NAK flow control.
Simple COM Port Emulation- Please contact the manufacturer for the instruction.
Note: After changing USB Device Types, the scanner will automatically restart.
Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key- the scanner will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key- the scanner will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’,
‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only).
Alt+ keypad- the scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad). Note that
the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with different
national keyboard layout.

3-4 Scan mode & some global settings
Scan mode:
Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed once 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. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no
code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Alternate continue-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop
scanning.
Continue-The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is
pressed or duration is elapsed.
Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of scanner
stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Auto-detection-The scanner will start scanning when an object closes to it. The light source of scanner
stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration
elapsed. The auto-detection function works again only after the object leaves the scanner. The trigger
button is still valid when the auto-detection is enabled.
Good-read identification-The scanner will start to scan when it receives a GOOD_READ_START
command (refer to “
4-14 GOOD_READ_START
”). The light source of scanner stops scanning when
there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. If it decodes
successfully, the scanner will reply "<STX><]><CR><LF>". Otherwise, the scanner will reply
"<STX><CAN><CR><LF>". When it receives a GOOD_READ_STOP command (refer to “
4-15
GOOD_READ_STOP
”), the scanner will stop scanning immediately. In this scan mode, the scanner
still supports all the commands except START_DECODE and STOP_DECODE. Also, you can press
trigger to scan the configuration-barcode to configure parameter or firmware version display barcode
to get firmware version information. But if you scan the other barcodes, the scanner will not transmit
the decoding result. In other scan modes, the GOOD_READ_START command and
GOOD_READ_STOP command are invalid.
Note: Restoring the default settings by the host command or scanning the barcode has no affect on
the scanning mode settings.
Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the laser beam
must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode.
When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm
a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of decoded barcode
data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the maximum length setting, or
Page 24
18
otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the same value can be set for both
minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode decoded.
Notes:
1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.
3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13,
EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting
one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to the chapters of “
3-29
G1-G6 & FN1 substitution string setting
” and “
3-30 G1-G4 string position & Code ID position
”.
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.
All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and
66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces
in different scale.
Printable character only: If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only,
i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This
function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can
store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay
elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the
scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after
stopping scanning.
Enter sleeping-mode delay: The scanner will enter sleeping mode if the scanner’s idle state time
surpasses the predefined delay time. When the scanner’s scanning mode is Auto-detection, it can be
awaked by sensor, scan button or command. And when the scanner is set in other scanning mode, it can
be awaked by scan button or command.

Checksum of message
CMD_ACK message is sent to the UART packet transmitter when the received packet passes the
checksum check and no negative acknowledgment conditions apply. If the data to be sent is in response
to a command (e.g. REQUEST_REVISION), CMD_ACK message is not in need.
When ACK/NAK handshaking is disabled, the CMD_ACK message will not be sent.
It is not necessary to respond to a valid ACK or NAK message.
For example:
Length
Opcode
Status
Checksum
0x03
0x59
0x00
0xFF 0XA4
Host Requirements
The host must send a CMD_ACK or response data within the programmable Host Serial Response
Time-out to acknowledge receipt of all messages, unless noted otherwise in the message description
section. If the host sends data and does not receive a response within the programmable Host Serial
Response Time-out, it resends the message (with the retransmit status bit set) before declaring a failure.
The host should limit the number of retries.
Scanner Requirements
The scanner must send a CMD_ACK or response data within the programmable Host Serial Response
Time-out to acknowledge receipt of all messages, unless noted otherwise in the message description
Page 82
76
section. If the scanner does not receive an ACK within this time period, it sends the previous message
again. The scanner retries twice more (with the retransmit status bit set) before declaring a transmit
error.

This message is sent when the received packet fails the checksum verification or some error occurred
while handling the message. If the scanner received NAK within this time period, it sends the previous
message again. The scanner retries twice before declaring a transmit error. The engine only resends a
message twice. If the message is not sent successfully either time, the engine declares a transmit error
Page 84

The host uses this message to request selected parameters from the scanner.
Host Requirements
The host requests the scanner’s current values for specific parameters by listing the parameter codes in
the Request Data field. If the host asks for a parameter value which is not supported by the scanner, the
Page 92
86
scanner responses NAK.
The scanner’s response to this command is PARAM_SEND, not ACK. Depending on the time-out setting,
and the number of parameters requested, this reply may fall outside the programmable Host Serial
Response Time-out. If this occurs, this is not a time-out error. To compensate, increase the time-out.
Scanner Requirements
When the scanner receives this message, it processes the information by formatting a PARAM_SEND
message containing all requested parameters supported and their values. The programmable Host
Serial Response Time-out can be exceeded when processing this message, depending on the time-out
set and the number of parameters requested.
For example: the value of scanner parameter “0301” is 1, when host query information of the parameter
“0301”, the PARAM-REQUEST sent by host is as following:

Host Requirements
The host transmits this message to change the scanner’s parameters. Be sure the Change Type bit (bit
6 of the Status byte) in the Status field is set as desired.
Scanner Requirements
When the scanner receives a PARAM_SEND, it interprets and stores the parameters, then ACKs
the command (if ACK/NAK handshaking is enabled). These parameters are stored permanently
only if the Change Type (bit 6 of the Status byte) is set to 1. Frequent permanent changes are not
recommended due to the limited write-cycles of flash memory. If bit 6 is set to 0 the changes are
temporary, and are lost when the engine is powered down.
If the scanner changes the parameter, it issues the requested beep sequence and stores the
requested parameter values.

Host Requirements
The host sends GOOD_READ_STOP command to the scanner to stop executing GOOD_READ_START
command.
Scanner Requirements
If ACK/NAK handshaking is enabled, the scanner responds with ACK or NAK and then stops decoding,
when it receives the GOOD_READ_STOP command. Otherwise, the scanner will stop decoding directly.
Note: Only when the Scan mode is Good-read identification, this command is valid.

4-16 The control of timing conflict
If the scanner has started the data transmission, while the host sends commands to the scanner, once
the scanner receives complete command, it stops its data transmission to respond the host command,
and then restart the terminated data transmission, due to the data transmitted in packet format, the host
can accurately separate from the received data: 1) response information. 2) information about
transmitted data originally.

1. The scanner starts to send data
2. The host interrupts the scanner sending data and sends PARAM_REQUEST command
3. The scanner sends PARAM_SEND data packet to reply host’s PARAM_REQUEST command
4. The scanner resends the interrupting data（all data is resent）
6. The host sends ACK
