3. When the digital imager scanner senses movement, in its default Auto Aim trigger mode, it projects a red laser

aiming pattern (Figure 2-3) which allows positioning the bar code or object within the field of view. (To turn off the default Auto Aim trigger mode, see Trigger Mode on page 4-8.) If necessary, the digital imager scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.

The DS6707-DP version uses a donut-shaped pattern with a center aiming dot.

5. Hold the trigger until the digital imager scanner beeps, indicating the bar code is successfully decoded. For

Placing Symbol in Aiming Pattern

more information on beeper 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 the bar code is decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.

2 - 6 Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

Aiming

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

page 2-8) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern on the symbol. Ensure the cross hair falls on the symbol.

For the DS6707-DP, ensure part of the symbol is visible within the donut-shaped pattern.

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

The digital imager scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top examples in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not decode.

NOTE For best performance, ensure the pattern’s cross hair, or in the case of the DS6707-DP the aiming dot,

falls on the symbol.

Digital Imager Scanner Options

Introduction

You can program the digital imager 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 imager scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard

Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements,

programming 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 imager 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.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. See Chapter 6, SSI Interface Chapter

7, USB Interface and Chapter 8, RS-232 Interface for specific host information. This is only necessary upon the

first power-up when connected to a new host.

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

*) indicate default values.

4 - 2 Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

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 imager 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 Formats, require 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 and Miscellaneous Options - 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. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, see the Set Default Parameter 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.

NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and

miscellaneous default parameters.

The digital imager scanner ships with the settings in Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming 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 imager 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.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. See Chapter 6, SSI Interface, Chapter

7, USB Interface and Chapter 8, RS-232 Interface for specific host information. This is only necessary upon the

first power-up when connecting to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter 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 disable the decode aiming pattern, scan the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code under Decode Aiming Pattern on page 4-13. The digital imager scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters require 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.

Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults

Table 5-1 lists the defaults for imaging preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

•

Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4.

•

NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and

miscellaneous default parameters.

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 imager scanner has three modes of operation:

•

Decode Mode

•

Snapshot Mode

•

Video Mode.

Decode Mode

By default, when you pull the trigger the digital imager scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The digital imager scanner remains in this mode until it decodes a bar code or you release the trigger.

Snapshot Mode

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

In Snapshot Mode, the digital imager scanner turns on its laser aiming pattern to highlight the area to capture in the image. The next trigger pull instructs the digital imager scanner to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is pulled and the image is captured as the digital imager scanner adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the digital imager 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 imager scanner returns to Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 5-10 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 5-10.

Video Mode

In this mode the digital imager scanner behaves as a video camera as long as you press the trigger. Release the trigger to return the digital imager scanner to Decode Mode. Scan this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode.

Fixed Exposure Parameter #: F4h F1h 37h

Type: Word

Range: 5 - 5000

This parameter configures the exposure used in manual mode for both Decode and Snapshot/Video/Video viewfinder modes.

Each integer value represents 100 μs worth of exposure. The default value is 100 which results in an exposure setting of 10 ms.

To set the Fixed Exposure parameter, scan Fixed Exposure followed by four numeric bar codes representing the value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Exposure value of 99, scan 0, 0, 9, 9. See Appendix

D, Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes.

Fixed Gain Parameter #: F1h 38h

Type: Byte

Range 1 - 100

This parameter configures the gain setting used in manual mode for both Decode and Snapshot/Video/Video viewfinder modes.

A value of 1 indicates that gain is not used for image capture. A value of 100 indicates that maximum gain is used for image capture. The default value of this parameter is 50.

To set the Fixed Gain parameter, scan Fixed Gain below followed by three numeric bar codes representing the value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Gain value of 99, scan 0, 9, 9. See Appendix D,

Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes.

Imaging Preferences 5 - 9

Gain/Exposure Priority for Snapshot Mode Parameter # F1h, 32h

This parameter alters the digital imager scanner’s gain exposure priority when it acquires an image in Snapshot Mode in auto exposure mode.

•

Scan Low Exposure Priority to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner favors higher gain over exposure to capture an image. This results in an image that is less susceptible to motion blur at the expense of noise artifacts. However, for most applications, the amount of noise is acceptable.

•

Scan Low Gain Priority to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner favors longer exposure time rather than higher gain to capture an image. This ensures that the image is less noisy and produces fewer artifacts during post processing activities like image enhancement (sharpening). The mode is recommended for fixed mount / fixed object image capture since the image acquired is susceptible to motion blur.

•

Scan Autodetect (default) to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner automatically selects Gain Priority or Low Exposure Priority mode for Snapshot Mode. If the digital imager scanner is in a magnetic read switch enabled stand (or it is configured in Blink Mode), it uses Low Gain Priority mode. Otherwise, it uses the Low Exposure Priority mode.

• Disable ACK/NAK Handshaking: If you select this option, the decoder neither generates nor expects

ACK/NAK handshaking packets.

• Enable ACK/NAK Handshaking: If you select this option, after transmitting data, the digital imager scanner

expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. The digital imager scanner also ACKs or NAKs messages from the host.

The digital imager scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it resends its data up to two times before discarding the data and declaring a transmit error.
