Introduction

The configuration barcodes provided in this manual offer instant setup off the various scanner settings,
E.G., serial communication baud rate, enabling and disabling barcodes.

Note: Default values in this guide are indicated by the notation “(*)”.
Note: Barcodes may also be referred to as “symbols”. This manual may use either or both conventions.

Please read the operation Manual of this reader carefully to ensure correct use of the equipment. Keep
the document near the equipment for reference in the event of problems.

The contents of this document are subject to change without notice.

Ensure to scan the “Save Settings” barcode after settings have been changed to write the settings on the
scanner’s non-volatile flash memory. Without saving the settings the scanner will revert to the previously
stored settings after power is reapplied.

Command manual Usage Notes

Some of the commands listed in this manual can also be set-up by sending commands from a host
computer.

Abbreviations used

Check digit ……. C/D.
Start stop………. ST/SP.

To Enable or Disable to decode symbols for all symbolories, scan the appropriate symbol below.

Note: To enable only a select number of symbologies, it is advised to disable all symbologies first and

enable only the symbology type(s) needed.

Enable All Symbologies Disable All Symbologies

・Mirrored Image

13

・Symbol Length

To decode symbols with a specific length range for each symbology, this setting must be set through the
serial command DIGIT=ab,c-d[CR] below.

Command Format: DIGIT=ab,c-d[CR]

a = code character A: Code39 C: Code128 d: DataMatrix

e: Composite, RSS E: UPC/JAN/EAN F: Codabar
G: Code93 I: ITF L: PDF417
U: MaxiCode Q: QR Code z: AztecCode

p: Customer Barcode (Japan Post)
b = Minimum length 1~2047
c = Maximum length 1~2047
d= Option CC: Composite Code RSS: GS1 Databar

Note: Other than Code 128, the Minimum / Maximum length includes Stop, Start, and Check Digit
characters.

Note: the Minimum length must be less than the Maximum length.

Example1: Code39, 10 through 20 digits accepted.

DIGIT=A10, 20

Example2: GS1 Databar, 14 through 16 digits accepted.

DIGIT=e14, 16-RSS

For all symbologies, default values are b=1minimum), c=2047(maximum).

14

・Maximum decodable symbols per trigger input

The image reader can decode multiple symbols (u p to four symbols) in a single image with a single pull of the
trigger.

To set the maximum number of symbols to be decoded for a single trigger input, scan the appropriate
symbol below.

One symbol (*) Two symbols

Three symbols Four symbols

Multiple symbols separator

To set the separator character to be inserted between the symbol data when using multiple symbols
reading, scan the appropriate symbol below..

None &

Comma(*) [FS] (1C hex)

[GS] (1D hex) [SP] (20 hex)

15

・Output order for multiple symbols reading

To set the output order (transmitting data order) for multiple symbols reading, scan several symbols in the proper
sequence below.
Unless otherwise specified, if an error occurs during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

[Procedure]

(1) Set the maximum number of symbols to be decoded for a single trigger input. (previous page).

(2) Set the separator character to be inserted between the symbol data (previous page).

(3) Set the sorting method ( none, in the order of decoding, symbol lengths, specified characters, or

symbologies)

(4) Select the output sequence number to be programmed (up to 4).

(5) Set the item to be set (symbol lengths, First Character, Second Character, Type of Symbologies).

(6) Set the appropriate Data.

(a) To set the symbol lengths, use the ”Character Data” on page 27.
(b) To set the first or second character, use the “Character Code” on page 26.
(c) To set the symboogy, use the “Symbology type” on page 29 and 30.

(7) When setting is complete, scan the “Confirm” symbol to accept the changes or “Cancel” to revert back to the
previous settings. These symbols can be found on page 30.

(8) Repeat steps (4) through (7) to set the remaining items.

(9) Finally scan the “Save Settings” symbol to save the settings to the unit’s non-volatile Flash memory.

Note: Multiple RSS composite codes cannot be decoded from a single image, but a single RSS composite

code may be decoded with other types of symbologies.

3.3 Preset Mode setting

The scanner has the function of Preset Mode function that is used for verification of the decoded data.
The scanner compares the decoded data with the preset data (Registered data) and will output only if the
data is matched regardless of its symbology type.
Preset Mode has two modes, Preset Mode 1 and Preset Mode2.

Preset Mode 1: Preset data is the first decoded one after power up.
Preset Mode 2: Preset data is registered in advance by using the barcode menu or serial command.

・Preset Mode 0

To cancel Preset Mode (Preset Mode : disabled), scan the symbol (Preset Mode 0 ) below.

Preset Mode 0 (*)

(Cancel Preset Mode)

・Preset Mode 1

Preset data is the first decoded one after power up. Subsequent symbols will be read and compared with
the preset data, resulting, in OK if they were the same as the preset data , or NG if they were different.
The preset data is cleared when the scanner is powered OFF.

To set the scanner for Preset Mode1, scan the symbol (Preset Mode 1) below and then scan the symbol
( Save of Setting ) to write into Flash ROM. Then restart (power OFF and ON) the scanner.

Preset Mode 1

・Preset Mode 2

This mode would registered the preset data by using the barcode menu or serial commands.
Both for the perfect matching and partial matching are available on data verification.
The preset data can be also stored into the non-volatile memory.

To set Preset Mode 2, scan the symbol (Preset data 2 ) below and follow the procedure below.

Setting for Digits

To decode symbols with a specific length range for each symbology, this setting must be set through the
serial command DIGIT=ab,c-d[CR] below.

To enable the partial match verification, transmit the serial command (SET=PRENa ) from the host

computer.

Transmit the command of digits setting from the host computer to enable the partial match verification.

Command
SET=PRENa[CR] a = 0 No verification of digits
a = 1～ 100

For no verification of preset data digits, read the bar code below.

No verification of preset data digits

Setting for Verifying Character’s

Transmit the command from host computer to set partial match verification of the column number setting.
By typing the wild card character “?” in the preset data, the character on the column number can be omitted from the
verification. With the wild card, the scanner considers every value as a matched regardless of the value of the
character on the column data from the symbol data. The character “?” cannot be verified.

Command
SET=PREDabcdef… [CR]： abcdef…: Preset data

SET=PRED?[CR]： No verification of every characters

NOTE) Read the bar code menu to set the control code ( 00[hex] ~ 1F[hex], 7F[hex] ) .

Read the bar code below for not to verify all the characters in the preset data. ( SET=PRED? )

Set Preset Characters not to be verified

Output Actual Reading Statistics

A statistical report of actual reading quality based on decode time can be output through the serial interface.
The report contains minimum, maximum and average times for OK reads and Bad reads, and also the
total count of SYNC events, OK reads and Bad reads. The report covers the time period since the last read
barcode menu of Clear Decode Time, Output Reads Count, or else since power ON.
Report explanation:

“OK” denotes the cases when bar code reading and decode were successful.
“NG” denotes the cases when bar code reading or decode failed.

When multiple bar code label reading is enabled, the OK designation means that ALL labels read OK;
The NG designation means that at least one label reading failed. (Multiple label symbol reading is
an optional feature.)

decoding time and reading time can be output) after the power activation. The data will be erased when the scanner
is turned off or when the bar code "Erase decoding time and reading time" is read.

“OK” denotes the cases when bar code reading and decode were successful.
“NG” denotes the cases when bar code reading or decode failed.

When multiple bar code label reading is enabled, the OK designation means that ALL labels read OK;
The NG designation means that at least one label reading failed. (Multiple label symbol reading is an
optional feature.)
