Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

Scanning with the Digital Scanner

1. Ensure all connections are secure (see the appropriate host chapter).

2. Aim the digital scanner at the bar code.

3. Press and hold the trigger.

Scanning 2 - 5

Figure 2-2

4. The digital scanner projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the bar code or object within

the field of view. If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code. The DS3407 Aim Dot version uses a center aiming dot rather than a cross for increased visibility in bright

lighting conditions. With Picklist Mode enabled by default in this version, it is ideal for scanning one bar code among many in a small area.

and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until a decode, you release the trigger, or the Decode Session Timeout occurs.

NOTE Scanning Direct Part Marks (DPMs) with the DS3407-DP (DPM) Digital Scanner: Due to the reflective

nature of some surfaces used with DPMs (see Figure 2-4), for best performance when scanning DPMs with the DS3407-DP (DPM) digital scanner, tilt the scanner at an angle relative to the target (Motorola recommends 25-45 degrees). For example, when scanning a 23 mil dot peen mark with the scanner set to near focus, present the target between one and four inches from the nose of the scanner at a minimum tilt of 30 degrees.

When scanning standard (non-DPM) bar codes with any configuration of the DS3407 digital scanner, follow the standard aiming instructions described in Aiming.

Scanning 2 - 7

Aiming

Hold the digital scanner between two and nine inches (depending on symbol density; see Decode Zones on page

2-9) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern cross hairs on the symbol.

The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol an d larger when it is farthe r from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.

The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top examples in Figure 2-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

Chapter 4 User Preferences

Introduction

You can program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.

The digital scanner ships with the settings sho wn in Table 4-1 on page 4-3 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default

Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirement s, progr amming is

not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile

memory and are preserved even when you power down the digital scanner.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the

screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging .

Select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan *Set All Defaults on page 4-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (

*) indicate default values.

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-5. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Format s, re quire scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences Parameter Defaults

Table 4-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

•

Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. The s e new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the *Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-4.

•

Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers appear in this chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters using this method.

Imaging Preferences

The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot.

Operational Modes

The digital scanner has three modes of operation:

•

Decode Mode

•

Snapshot Mode

•

Video Mode.

Decode Mode

By default, when you pull the trigger the digital scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The digital scanner remains in this mode as long as you hold the trigger or until a successful decode.

Snapshot Mode

Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image an d transmit it to the host. To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mo de bar code. While in this mode the digital scanner blinks the green LED at 1-second inte rvals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.

In Snapshot Mode, the digital scanner turns on it s laser aiming p attern to h ighlight the area to capture in th e image. The next trigger pull instructs the digit al scanner to captur e a hig h quality imag e and tra nsmit it to th e h ost. A short time may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when you pull the trigger and image capture as the digital scanner adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the digital scanner steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep.

If you do not press the trigger within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the digital scanner returns to Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 5-1 2 to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds.

To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern on page 5-12.

Video Mode

In this mode the digital scanner behaves as a video camera as long as you hold the trigger. Releasing the trigger returns the digital scanner to Decode Mode. Scan this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode.

DPM Scanning

Parameter # F1h, 09h

Unlike bar codes that are typically printed on labels, a direct p art mark (DPM) is a symb ol that is marked directly on an item’s surface for permanent identification. These symbols are marked using methods such as laser etching and dot peening (see Figure 2-4 on page 2- 6 for an example of a dot peen symbol). The DS3407-DP (DPM) dig ital reader scans these types of symbols.

NOTE When the DS3407-DP digital scanner is DPM enabled, the digital scanner reads all symbols including

DPM, 1D, PDF417, etc. If you do not require DPM reading, scan Disable DPM Scanning to ensure optimum scanner performance.

If you enable DPM Scanning, disable Picklist Mode on page 4-9 when scanning a DPM bar code. Picklist performance is not guaranteed for DPM bar codes.

Also, if you enable DPM Scanning, the scanner behaves as if the Data Matrix Inverse Autodetect setting is selected. When you disable DPM Scanning, the previous (user-selected) Data Matrix Inverse setting remains in effect. SeeData Matrix Inverse on page 10-67.

To configure the DS3407-DP digital scanner for DPM reading:

1. The DS3407-DP digital scanner can not r ead ce rtain bar codes in near field. To ensure the digital scanner can

read all bar codes, scan Far Focus on page 5-5.

2. If you disabled DPM scanning in the DS3407-DP digital scanner, scan Enable DPM Scanning below.

3. Before scanning a DPM bar code, ensure you enabled Data Matrix on page 10-66.

Gain

Parameter # F4h, F0h, A7h

This parameter only applies when Decoding or Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data before it is converted into 256 grayscale values. Increasing the gain increases brightness and contrast, but also increases no ise (un desir ed electrical fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less attractive and/or harder to decode.

To set the manual gain, scan the bar code below followed by 3 bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes, in the range of 79 to 127, representing the value.

Exposure Time

Parameter # F4h, F0h, 38h

This parameter is only available when Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Exposure time controls the amount of time the digital scanner is allowed to collect light, much like the shutter speed for a camera. Generally, the brighter the environment, the lower the ex po su re time. Set the manual exposure time to one of the following values: 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms, or 30 ms. Increasing the exposure time past 20 ms increases the risk of blurring the image due to hand jitter.

Signature Capture

Parameter # 5Dh

A signature capture bar code is a special-purpose symbology which delineates a signature capture area in a document with a machine-readable format. The recognition pattern is variable so it can option ally provide an index to various signatures. The region inside the bar code pattern is considered the signature capture area.

Output File Format

Decoding a signature capture bar code de-skews the signature image and converts the image to a BMP, JPEG, or TIFF file format. The output data includes the file descriptor followed by the formatted signature image.

To enable or disable Signature Capture, scan the appropriate bar code below.

NOTE DS3407-DP and DS3407-HD digital scanners cannot typically decode signature capture ba r codes

because the scanner’s field of view is tall and narrow. In this case, to decode signature capture:

•

For DP scanners, rotate the scanner 90o to accommodate the signature capture bar code, or disable DPM via DPM Scanning on page 5-7.

•

For HD scanners, select Full Field of View via Presentation Mode Field of View on page 5-8.

This parameter offers control of the dat a transmission process in addition to that of fered by hardwar e handshaking. Hardware handshaking is always enabled and cannot be disabled.

•

Disable ACK/NAK Handshaking: Select this option to disable hardware handshaking. The digital scanner

neither generates nor expects ACK/NAK handshaking packets.

•

Enable ACK/NAK Handshaking: If you select this option, after transmitting data, the digit al scanner expect s

either an ACK or NAK response from the host. The scanner also ACKs or NAKs messages from the host. The digital scanner waits up to the pro grammable Host Serial Response T im e-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If it does not receive a response in this time, it resends its data up to two times before discarding the data and declaring a transmit error .

Host RTS Line State

Parameter # 9Ah

This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SS I pr otocol . However, you can use the

digital scanner in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication software on a host PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 6-8). If transmission errors occur in this mode, the host PC may be asserting hardware handshaking lines which inter fere with the SSI protocol.
