3-2 Single or Multiple-parameter setting by scanning a QR code barcode
User can customize a QR code barcode to set single or multiple parameters. The image platform can set
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 %
<Option barcode index><D/H><Alpha. entries>
···
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.

3-3 Operate the image platform by receiving command via UART
Note:
1- The information in this chapter is provided for the image platform with RS232 cable or USB cable.
2- If the image platform is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual
COM”. Please refer to 3-7 USB interface.
3- Please read 3-8 Scan mode & some global settings about the setting of Scanning 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: “0x54” (T)
When the image platform received the above command, it will start barcode scanning following the
setting of Scanning mode. If the image platform is in the mode of “Auto-detection”, the image platform
will have a single scan, then returns to “Auto-detection” mode.
2) Stop command: “0x50” (P)
If the Scanning mode is set as “Alternate continue” or “Continue”, and the image platform received the
above command, it will stop barcode scanning and act as in an idle mode.
3) Restart command: “0x52” (R)
Once the image platform received the above command, it will restart.
Returning message from the image platform
1) A successful decode
Once the image platform successfully decoded a barcode, the image platform will stop scanning and
returns the barcode data to the Host.
2) Not a successful decode
Once the image platform failed to decode a barcode before stopping scanning, the image platform will
return a message to the Host. The message is set as “0x25, 0x25, 0x4E, 0x6F, 0x52, 0x65, 0x61,
0x64” (%%NoRead).

3-5 Keyboard wedge interface
Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the image platform supports most of the popular PCs and IBM
terminals.
Keyboard layout: The image platform supports different national keyboard layouts. Commonly an
appropriate encoding system must be selected. Please refer to Character encoding system of 3-8 Scan
mode & some global settings for details.
Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or image
platform, with the period between 60us to 100us.
Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occasions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port
would require a free time gap following the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt).
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key- the image platform will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key- the image platform will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’,
‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only).
Alt+ keypad- the image platform 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.
Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates
keyboard timing and passes keyboard present status to the PC during power-on.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised of
three or above bytes.
Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data.
Caps Lock reversion: By setting enable, the status of Caps Lock key (i.e. being pressed ON or OFF) on
the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status.
Caps Lock override: If this function is enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the
state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the barcode is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state of
the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.
A guide of setting while the scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host
If some characters are missed or some additional characters are incorrectly displayed on the host,
set the Inter-byte delay (0208) to be “01” or greater value.
If some capital character (e.g. “A”) or compound-key-characters (e.g.“shift+”, “Ctrl＋”, “Alt+”） are
displayed incorrectly, set the Delay-after-compound-key (0204) to be “01” or greater value.
If some digits are incorrectly displayed as some symbol characters (e.g. “1” and “2” are displayed
incorrectly as “!” and “@”), set the Clock period (0203) to be greater value (e.g. 04, 05).

3-6 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 image platform 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
image platform will issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle: High RTS),
the image platform can be set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
XON/XOFF- An XOFF character turns the image platform transmission off until the image platform
receives an XON character.
ACK/NAK- After transmitting data, the image platform expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK
(not acknowledge) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the image platform 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 image platform issues an error indication and discards the data.
Inter-character delay: Refer to Inter-character delay of 3-5 Keyboard wedge interface.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the image platform when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.

3-7 USB interface
USB device type:
HID keyboard– By setting, the image platform is used as a USB HID keyboard emulation device. The
keyboard layout setting follows the setting of keyboard layout in 3-5 Keyboard wedge interface.
USB virtual COM– By setting, the image platform emulates a regular RS232-based COM port. If a
Microsoft Windows PC is connected to the image platform, 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.
Note: When changing USB Device Type, the image platform automatically restarts.
Simple COM Port Emulation- Please contact the manufacturer for the instruction.
Keyboard layout: The image platform supports different national keyboard layouts. Commonly an
appropriate encoding system must be selected. Please refer to Character encoding system of 3-8 Scan
mode & some global settings for details.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted. By selecting, the user
can change the output speed of the image platform to match the speed of the host USB communication
port.
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key- the image platform will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key- the image platform will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’,
‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only).
Alt+ keypad- the image platform 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.

3-8 Scan mode & some global settings
Scan mode:
Good-read off- The Camera push button can be pressed once to activate scanning. The image
platform stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by
duration elapsed.
Continue-The image platform always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when Stand-by duration
is elapsed.
Timeout off-The Camera push button can be pressed once to activate scanning. The image platform
stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Auto-detection sensitivity: It is the sensitivity of image platform to ambient brightness change. Sensitivity
is expressed as a percentage value of ambient light change, in the range of 5% to 50%. The smaller the
percentage value, the higher the sensitivity, the easier the image platform will be triggered.
Same barcode delay time for 1D symbol: If a 1D barcode has been scanned and output once
successfully, the image platform must output the same barcode data beyond delay time. When this
feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Same barcode delay time for 2D symbol: If a 2D barcode has been scanned and output once
successfully, the image platform must output the same barcode data beyond delay time. When this
feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the image platform 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.
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 image platform 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 3-42 G1-G6 &
C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting and 3-43 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,

66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the image platform can read the barcode comprised with bars and
Page 31
25
spaces in different scale.
Character output restraint:
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the image platform will output the printable
characters only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the image platform will output the alphanumeric
characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the image platform will optimize the decoder with error correction.
This function is not effective for all types of barcode.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the image platform
can store the data while continue-scanning. The image platform 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
image platform will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the image platform 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 (domestic language, e.g.
Chinese), it maybe 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 3-7 USB interface. If it is enabled, the
image platform will not start next decode attempt until previous data output is completed.

Note: The information in this chapter is closely related to the chapter of String setting.
Format of barcode data transmission:
Prefix
Code name
Preamble
Code ID
Code length
Code data
Code ID
Postamble
Suffix
Prefix transmission: By setting Enable, prefix will be appended before the data transmitted.
Suffix transmission: By setting Enable, suffix will be appended after the data is transmitted.
Code name transmission: By setting Enable, code name will be transmitted before code data.
Preamble transmission: By setting Enable, preamble will be appended before the data transmitted.
Postamble transmission: By setting Enable, postamble will be appended after the data is transmitted.
Code ID transmission: Code ID can be transmitted in the format of either Proprietary ID or AIM ID. Refer
to 1-2 Default setting for each barcode.
Code length transmission: The length of code data string can be transmitted before the code data when
Enable is selected. The length is represented by a number with two digits.
Case conversion: The characters within code data or the whole output string can be set in either upper
case or lower case.
FN1 substitution transmission: The image platform supports a FN1 substitution feature for keyboard
wedge, USB and RS-232 interface. The replacement string of FN1 can be chosen by user (see 3-42
G1-G6 & C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting ).
All-non-printable-character string transmission with string setting: By setting enable, all string settings,
e.g. Preamble transmission or Insert G1 string setting, are active for an all-non-printable-character string.
Here a non-printable character means a character with ASCII value between 0x00 to 0x1F.
Transmit the first N data characters only: The image platform supports to only transmit the first N data
characters of a barcode. The number of N can be set as a digit between 1 and 99.
Transmit the last N data characters only: The image platform supports to only transmit the last N data
characters of a barcode. The number of N can be set as a digit between 1 and 99.

6 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 “CODE 128”, then
select “CODE A” type, and input “{DC1}” as data.
