3 Parameter menus
3-1 Introduction
This section describes the programmable parameters, provides barcodes for programming.
The scanner is shipped with the factory default settings as described in this chapter. These
factory-default-settings values are stored in flash memory and are preserved even when the scanner is
powered down. Changes to the factory default values can be stored as custom defaults. These values
are also stored in flash memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
There are two methods to change the parameter values as described following.
Scan the appropriate barcodes as the example shown in
3-2 Example: configure scanner
. The new
values replace the existing memory values.
Referring to
7 Return default parameters & firmware version
, scan the Write to customer’s default
setting (%%WCDF) barcode to set the new values as custom defaults. The factory default or
custom default parameter values can be recalled by scanning the manufacture default setting
(%%%DEF) barcode, or the Restore customer’s default setting (%%RSDF) barcode.
Page 18

3-2 Example: configure scanner
Note: The factory default settings are indicated with asterisks (*) in this manual.
1、Single-scan setting
Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting barcode according to the user’s demand.
Example: Set Flow control to be none.
Steps: Scan the following barcode.
2、Multiple-scan setting
The steps of configuration are:
a) Scan the SETUP barcode on the parameter setting part.
b) Enter the option mode by scanning the Parameter name barcode.
c) To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan these
alphanumeric entries (see
9 Configuration alphanumeric value barcode)
individually as Para.
Value.
d) Scan the END barcode, listed on the bottom of each parameter setting part.
Notes that only one parameter can be setup at each time.
Example: Set Flow control to be none.

3-3 RS232 interface
Flow control:
None- The communication only uses TXD and RXD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS- If the scanner requests 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 Response delay
timeout, 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- If Decode data packet format is set to Packeted, after barcode 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.When the scanner finishes receiving the command from host, it
will send ACK/NAK to host.
Note: If Decode data packet format is set to Raw, the scanner will not wait for ACK/NAK after
transmitting decoded data completely.
Response delay: This delay is the time that the scanner waits for a handshaking acknowledgment (NAK
or ACK) from the host.
Inter-character delay: This delay is the time that the scanner transfer the each character interval.
Host-character delay: This delay is the time that the scanner waits for the host to send the next character
in serial communication.
Decoded data packet format:
Raw- Scanner sends raw decoded data directly.
Packeted- The decoded data is sent in data packet.

3-4 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 emulates a USB virtual COM device. 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.
While emulating as a USB virtual COM, the scanner will send the data in data packet format if the
Decode data packet format is Packeted (see
3-3 RS232 Interface)
. The scanner also follows the Flow
control (see
3-3 RS232 Interface)
flow control, if it is set ACK/NAK.
Note: After changing USB Device Types, the scanner will restart automatically.
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.

3-5 Scan trigger mode & some global settings
Scanning 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- By setting Enable, the scanner will start operating if any nearby object has been
detected. The laser light of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is
decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the laser light stops scanning, the present object
must be removed to enable Auto-detection.
Note: Restoring the default settings by the host command or scanning the barcode that will not affect
the scanning mode settings.
Standby duration: The duration time for a single scanning attempt.
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 next scanning the same
barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Multiple confirm: If this parameter is set to be larger than zero, the scanner will require several
successful reads of same-decoded-data to confirm a valid reading. The number of successful reads can
be different according to different types of barcode. As the number of Multiple confirm gets larger, the
scanner’s aggressiveness decreases. The number of successful reads required for different types of
barcode is listed below, which is related to the parameter of Multiple confirm.

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,
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.

Character output restraint:
Disable- the scanner will output all the barcode data .
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only,
i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric
characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
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.
Scan angle: If narrow angle (40°) is selected, the decode rate is 1 time/scan; if wide angle (55°) is
selected, the decode rate is 0.5 time/scan.
Auto-sleep delay: After responding to the host’s requirement, the scanner will automatically enter deep
sleep state within Auto-sleep delay time. The scanner will be awakened while the SCAN button is
pressed or a command WAKEUP (0x00) is received again.
“No read” response: If it is enabled, while the scanner receives the STOP_DECODE command or fails to
decode a barcode within the Stand-by duration time, “NR” will be transmitted as decode data.
Deep sleep:
Disable- When Stand-by duration is elapsed, the scanner will enters normal sleep state. Any external
interrupt can wake up the scanner. It is not necessary to send a command WAKEUP (0x00) before
sending any other commands.
Enable- When Stand-by duration is elapsed, the scanner will enters sleep state deeply, and the
supply current will drop to be 0.9mA. And at this case, it is necessary to send a command WAKEUP
(0x00) and delay for 15ms, before sending any other commands.
Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character
from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and
Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode
being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is different from the one the host
program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one.

Suffix string setting: The <enter > key is represented in different ASCII when it is applied by different OS.
For a Windows/DOS OS, <enter> is represented as <CR><LF> (0x0D 0x0A); for an Apple MAC OS,
<enter> is represented as <CR> (0x0D); for a Linux/Unix OS, <enter> is represented as <LF> (0x0A).
Prefix/Suffix/Preamble/Postamble string setting:
They are appended to the data automatically when a barcode is decoded.
Example: Add a symbol of “$” as a prefix for all type of barcode.
Steps:
1) Look up in the ASCII table to find the value of $→24.
2) Scan SETUP and Prefix string setting barcode.
3) Scan 2 and 4 barcode.
4) Scan END barcode.
5) Refer to
3-31 String transmission
, set Prefix transmission to be Enable.
Scanning steps: Scan the following barcodes in order.
Insert G1/G2/G3/G4 string setting: The scanner offers 4 positions and 4 character strings to insert
among the barcode data string.
Example: Set G1 string to be “AB”.
Original code data
“1 2 3 4 5 6”
Output code data
“1 2 A B 3 4 5 6”
Steps:
1) Look up in the ASCII table to find the value of A→41, B→42.
2) Scan SETUP and Insert G1 string setting barcode “8005”.
3) Scan 4, 1 and 4, 2 barcode.
4) Scan END barcode.
5) Refer to

Testing barcode:
FN1 substitution string setting: The FN1 character (0x1D) in an UCC/EAN128 barcode, or a Code 128
barcode, or a GS1 DataBar barcode can be substituted with a defined string.
Example: Set FN1 substitution string to be “ABCD”.
Original code data (hexadecimal)
“31 1D 32 1D 33 1D 34 1D 35”
Output code data (hexadecimal)
“31 41 32 42 33 43 34 44 35”
Steps:
1) Set FN1 substitution string to be ABCD.
2) Refer to
3-31 String transmission
, enable FN1 substitution transmission.
In this example, because the interface of the scanner is RS232, so set “8209” to 02.
Scanning steps: Scan the following barcodes in order.
