3 Programming

3-1 Example 1: Single-parameter setting by scanning 1D barcodes

Important notes:

1. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness. LED

will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed.

2. After each successful programming, LED will go off and the scanner will beep twice.

3. Throughout the programming barcode menus, the factory default settings are indicated with

asterisks (*).

Two programming modes have been provided as bellows:

❶ Single-scan setting

 Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting (e.g. %0101D00%) according to the user‘s demand.

Example: To set Flow control to be XON/XOFF. Steps: Scan the following barcode.

❷ Multiple-scan setting

 Step 1. Scan the Option barcode barcode (e.g. %0101M%) according to the user‘s demand.  Step 2. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan

two alphanumeric entries from 0 to 9 or A to F, refer to

10 Configuration alphanumeric entry

barcode

.

 Step 3. Repeat Step 2, if more user parameters input are required.  Step 4. Scan the %END% barcode, listed on the lower left hand corner of each parameter

setting part.

Example: To set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.

Steps: Referring to

3-6 RS-232 interface

, scan the following barcodes in order.

11

3-2 Example 2: Multiple-parameter setting by scanning a QR code barcode

User can customize a QR code to set multiple parameters. The scanner can set multiple parameters by

scanning this single QR code barcode.

1. The data format of the QR code barcode is as following.

% Parameter set 1 % Parameter set 2 % Parameter set N %

···

Note that:

 <Option barcode index> means the corresponding 4 digits of Option barcode.  <D/H> means “D” or “H” character. D means that the type of alphanumeric entry is decimal; and H

means that the type of alphanumeric entry is hexadecimal.

 <Alpha. entries> is a character string with various length of 2, 4, or other values.

Example: Set 0401->03 (decimal); 8002->0D0A (hexadecimal); 8202->01 (decimal). The customized

QR code barcode contents and symbol are as following.

%0401D03%8002H0D0A%8202D01%

2. Notes of making QR code barcode

The model is chosen as M2. Other requirements, e.g. ECC level, Start mode, etc, are not specified.

Other notes

 The contents of a QR code barcode can include several same <Option barcode index> associated

with same or different <Alpha. entries>. In the case of with different <Alpha. entries>, the latest

<Alpha. entries> is the valid one.

 If any one of the parameter settings is invalid, the total setting is failed. The invalid setting can be

caused by one of the following problems: invalid <Option barcode index>, invalid type of <D/H>,

invalid type, length or value range of <Alpha. entries>, etc.

12

3-3 Operate the scanner by receiving command via UART

Note:

1- The information in this chapter is provided for the scanner with RS232 cable or USB cable.

2- If the scanner is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual COM”.

Please refer to 3-6 USB interface.

3- Please read 3-7 Scan mode & some global settings about the setting of Scan mode in details.

UART parameter should be set as below:

(1) Baud rate: 9600 bps;

(2) Data bits: 8 bits;

(3) Stop bit: 1 bit;

(4) Parity check bit: None;

(5) Flow control: None.

Guide of control command: all commands are sent by UART

1) Start command: “0x16 0x54 0x0D”

When the scanner received the above command, it will start barcode scanning following the setting of

Scan mode.

2) Stop command: “0x16 0x55 0x0D”

If the Scan mode is set as “Alternate continue” or “Continue”, and the scanner received the above

command, it will stop barcode scanning and act as in an idle mode.

3-5 RS-232 interface

Host type:

Standard- The scanner is connected to a standard RS-232 interface.

OPOS/JPOS- The scanner is connected to a POS terminal which may be necessary to install the

OPOS/JPOS driver to be compatible with the manufacturer's scanner. The OPOS/JPOS driver is

provided by the scanner manufacturer; please contact the scanner manufacturer for the instruction.

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.

XON/XOFF- An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON

character.

ACK/NAK- After transmitting data, 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 NAKs

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.

3-7 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.

Good-read on-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- Good-read on – By setting Enable, the scanner will start operating if any nearby object

has been detected. The scanner stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after the

Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present object must be removed to

enable Auto-detection.

Auto-detection- Good-read off – By setting Enable, the scanner will start operating if any nearby object

has been detected. The scanner will stop scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is

decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present object

must be removed to enable Auto-detection.

Barcode detection: In image auto-induction mode, barcode detection means that the scanner detects an

object similar to a barcode to trigger decoding, such as text, graphics, barcodes, and so on.

Barcode detection delay: The barcode detection delay means that the detection function is enabled

when no object is detected within the set delay.

Same barcode delay time for 1D symbols: This feature is activated only when the Scan mode is in

alternate or continuous mode. Once a 1D barcode has been scanned and output successfully, the optics

module’s lights must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active a next

scanning on the same barcode.

Same barcode delay time for 2D symbols: This feature is activated only when the Scan mode is in

alternate or continuous mode. Once a 2D barcode has been scanned and output successfully, the optics

module’s lights must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active a next

scanning on the same barcode.

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 for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of

decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the

maximum length setting, or 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.

21

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 3-41 G1-G6 & C1-C3

& FN1 substitution string setting and 3-41 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.

Character output restraint:

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.

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.

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.

Complete data output before next decode attempt: This setting is active only when USB device type is

set as “HID keyboard” or “HID keyboard for Apple Mac”, refer to 3-6 USB interface. If it is enabled, the

scanner will not start next decode attempt until previous data output is completed.

Sleep mode: If it is enabled, the scanner will go to sleep when no code is successful decoded after the

Sleep mode delay elapsed.

Sleep mode delay: When no code is successful decoded beyond this time, the scanner will go to sleep.

3-9 Decode illumination and decode aiming pattern

Decode illumination mode: Enable illumination causes the scanner to turn on the illumination to aid

decoding. Disable illumination to turn off illumination for the scanner during decoding. Better quality

images could be obtained with illumination support. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as

the distance to the target increases.

Decode aiming pattern: When this option is enabled, the scanner will project the aiming pattern during

the code capture.

Level of decode illumination: This parameter can be adjusted for different level of decode illumination.

Illumination mode of Auto-detection:

Always off- Illumination LED will be always turned off.

Enable illumination in low light conditions- In low light conditions, the scanner will turn on illumination

LED automatically to ensure normal work. While in other light conditions, the illumination LED will be

turned off automatically.

Always on- Illumination LED will be always turned on.

Note: This function is only valid in Auto-detection mode.

Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may affect scanning

accuracy.

1. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.

2. Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.

3. Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with water.

4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the window.

5. Use a piece of soft and dry cloth when cleaning the scanner.

5 Barcode representing non-printable character

Notes to make the following barcode:

1. According to different barcode printing software, the method of printing following barcode is different.

2. If using CODESOFT software, firstly read the information through “Help→Index→Code128→Special

input syntax”. Also refer to ASCII table. For example, if we wish to make “F1” barcode, select

“Code128”, then select “CODE A” type, and input “{DC1}” as data.
