Regulatory Approvals

FCC Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 2.5 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Channel

The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.

•Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.

• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)

• If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.

Note: This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on 2.4G channel 1-11

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOK

INTRODUCTION

This menu book is intended for setting up your bar code reader to optimize its performance for your particular application. When the required options have been configured, they remain in the reader, even after power down. The reader can be returned to factory default by reading the default label.

Menu labels

The reader must be set by reading the bar code labels in the menu table. The layout of the table is explained in next figure 0.01.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOK

Configuring via the menu book

To configure the required options proceed as follows:

• scan the SET label

• scan the required option(s)

• scan the END label After scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non volatile memory.

Recommended steps to follow for quick configuration

After checking your connection you are ready to start the configuration of your reader.

•6: Use chapter 6 to select the indicator options you prefer. These options affect the operation of the buzzer and good read LED. * The reader will now operate to your personal preference.

See figure 0.02.

Fig. 0.02. Configuring via the menu book

• Check connection: Ensure that the power is disconnected from your equipment before you connect the reader. After connecting the data cable, the power can be applied to the equipment and the reader.

•1: Use chapter 1 to set the correct default for your reader. * The reader is now in factory default.

•2: Use chapter 2 to optimize the interface. * The reader is now able to read bar codes and transmit the data.

•3: Use chapter 3 to optimize the reader for the type of bar codes you use. Set the readable codes first and then the options for each of these codes. * The reader is now able to read the codes you selected, validate the data using length and check digit and transmit that part of the data you specified.

•4: Use chapter 4 to select the string options for your application. These include transmission of code length, conversion of upper and lower case and setting a prefix and suffix. * The reader can now read and transmit the data in the required format.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOK

Configuring via RS232

In the middle column of the menu pages the command is printed, e.g. U2. These commands can be sent to readers with an RS232 interface. To configure via the RS232 port proceed as follows:

• transmit <ESC><Command string 1><CR>

• transmit <ESC><Command string 2><CR>

• transmit <ESC><Command string n><CR>

• transmit <ESC><Z2><CR>

<ESC> <ESC> is the ASCII escape character (Hex 1B).

<Command string> <Command string> is the ASCII command with its parameters as would be scanned from the menu book, i.e. <ESC>M41B<CR> configures the ASCII control code <STX> as the prefix for Code 39. Example in hexadecimal format: 1B 4D 34 31 4B ØD Each 3-character command should be preceded with the '[' character (Hex 5B) i.e. <Esc>[BCC<CR> is used to enable Data Matrix. Each 4-character command should be preceded with the ']' character (Hex 5D) i.e. <Esc>]DIAU<CR> is used to disable auto connect.

<CR> <CR> is the ASCII CR character (Hex ØD).

The characters transmitted must be separated by an intercharacter delay to allow the reader to process each character received and to execute the command string.

Configuring via OptiConfigure

OptiConfigure is the interactive Universal menu book version. With OptiConfigure it is possible to create your own personal setup sheet online. OptiConfigure supports Opticon bar code readers which can be configured with this Universal menu book. In addition OptiConfigure offers product specific and less often used menu labels. Based on the product and software version selected, OptiConfigure will show these specific options.

OptiConfigure can be accessed via the Opticon home page (www.opticon.com). From there select the OptiConfigure button.

2.1.3. Handshaking

Data flow control is available using either hardware (Modem, Busy/Ready) or software (XON/XOFF). In addition, an optional acknowledgement control is available (ACK/ NAK with or without error response). Flow control may be combined with acknowledgement control. The RS232 voltage levels employed by most readers for transmission are either -10V (OFF) or +10V (ON).

1. No handshake:

Does not employ any handshaking: data is transmitted regardless of the control signals. This option will undo any handshake and flow control options selected.

2. Busy/ready:

The reader's RTS is ON as soon as the power is supplied to the reader and will stay ON while the reader can receive data from the host. The host will keep the reader's CTS ON while it is ready to receive data from the reader. While CTS is ON the reader is able to transmit data. The reader will abort transmission with an error indication of the buzzer when the CTS is not ON within a certain configurable period. The reader may drop RTS to OFF during transmission if it can not receive data simultaneously. See figure 2.04.

Fig. 2.04. HandShaking

Busy/ready

ON the reader is allowed to transmit data. When all data has been transmitted, the reader will turn RTS OFF. In response, the host should turn OFF the reader's CTS. If, while RTS is ON, the CTS line is not ON for a certain configurable period, the reader will terminate the transmission with an error indication of the buzzer. See figure 2.05.

4. XON/XOFF:

The reader sends data until an XOFF (ASCII DC3, Hex 13) character is received from the host. Only when the reader receives an XON (ASCII DC1, Hex 11) character, the reader continues to send its data.

5. ACK/NAK:

After data has been transmitted, the reader expects to receive one of the following responses from the host:

3. Modem mode:

The reader's RTS is OFF as soon as power is supplied to the reader. The reader will turn RTS ON when it wants to transmit data to the host. The host should respond by putting CTS ON when it is ready to receive data. While CTS is

Response: "ACK" (ASCII: Hex Ø6)

Action: The reader completes transmission with the good-read buzzer.

Response: "NAK" (ASCII: Hex 15)

Action: The reader sends the data again.

Response: "DC1" (ASCII: Hex 11)

Action: The reader completes transmission without a good-read or error buzzer.

Response: "None"

Action: If there is no response within one second then the reader terminates transmission with an error buzzer. See figure

6. ACK/NAK no response:

The difference from the ACK/NAK mode is that when no response from the host is received within 100 ms, the reader assumes that the data has been received correctly by the host.

Response: "ACK" (ASCII: Hex Ø6)

Action: The reader completes transmission with the good-read buzzer.

Response: "NAK" (ASCII: Hex 15)

Action: The reader sends the data again.

Response: "DC1" (ASCII: Hex 11)

Action: The reader completes transmission without a good-read or error buzzer.

Response: "None"

Action: If there is no response within 100 ms then the reader terminates transmission with a good read buzzer. See figure 2.07.

2.2. Keyboard wedge/USB options

This paragraph describes the options which are relevant to readers with a wedge or USB interface. The following parameters can be configured:

• keyboard language

• special options

• intercharacter delay

Because these options are interdependent, it is important to perform the configuration in the sequence given.

Please consult your sales office for keyboard layouts and language currently supported.

With keyboard:

Use this mode in case a keyboard is connected to the PC wedge Y-cable. The wedge is only listening in case the computer is booting or when the wedge is idle.

Without keyboard:

Use this mode in case no keyboard is connected to the PC wedge Y-cable. In some cases this mode is required in case only a PC USB keyboard is connected. If this option is enable, the computer can detect the wedge as a keyboard. In case the computer reports a keyboard error or in case no data is displayed, try this option. It is required to power OFF the PC, wait 10 seconds and power ON the PC again. Do not enable this option in case a keyboard is connected to the Y-cable.

Interface

Keyboard wedge operation modes:

This mode enables or disables responses from PC wedge to the computer during booting. In normal cases, the keyboard handles the responses to the computer. The PC wedge is only listening in order to be aware of the keyboard state.

By default the reader is configured to connect to the Opticon cradle. Simply read the twelve character Bluetooth address label on the bottom of the cradle. The reader automatically connects to the cradle and automatically configures the pin code, authentication and encryption.

Default IEEE 802.15.4 connection:

By default the reader is configured to connect to the Opticon cradle. Simply read the tencharacter address label on the bottom of the cradle. The reader automatically connects to the cradle and automatically configures the pin code, authentication and encryption. With IEEE 802.15.4, the connection only exists during data transfers. Therefor the options "Auto disconnect" and "Auto reconnect" are not supported.

DRS232 cradle connection:

In case the cradle is connected to the computer via RS232, the communication parameters such as baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits can be configured via the bar code reader. For baud rate settings and for data, parity and stop bits refer to the applicable paragraphs as described earlier in this chapter.

need this information to configure the bar code reader. The Bluetooth dongle's driver installs a serial port on the computer, which is used by the bar code reader to transmit the data.

Keyboard emulation:

In case keyboard emulation is required, Opticon's program Tscan can convert the serial data from a COM port into keyboard data. Ask your local dealer or sales office how to obtain Tscan.

Enable auto connect to Opticon cradle:

After reading the address label on the cradle, the reader immediately tries to establish a connection.

2.3.1. Bluetooth address

T o enable the Bluetooth reader to communicate to another Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth address of that device must be configured in the reader. The Bluetooth address can be found on the other device. Mostly it is displayed on the product label as a 12 digits number or a number with 6 hex digit pairs.

To configure an Opticon Bluetooth bar code reader to connect to a third party Bluetooth dongle, the following steps must be taken:

• step 1 - retrieve the dongle’s MAC address

• step 2 - set the reader to connect directly to a computer

• step 3 - set the MA C address of the dongle in the reader

• step 4 - establish connection to the Bluetooth module

Example for manually connection and configuration:

Example Step 1. The following information is retrieved from the dongle's Bluetooth manager: Dongle make/type: MSI MS6967 Bluetooth Address: 00 04 12 34 AF 56 Secure Connection: Not Required.

Example Step 2.

• read the following codes: <SET> <Connect to PC>

Example Step 3. Note: when reading the same menu label again, it is necessary to keep the reader away from the menu book for about one second.

• from this chapter read: <Set bluetooth address label>

• from the chapter Direct input numeric read: <0> keep reader away from menu book... <0> keep reader away from menu book... <0> <4> <1> <2> <3> <4>

• from the chapter Direct input character read: <A> <F>

• from the chapter Direct input numeric read: <5> <6>

• from this chapter read: <End bluetooth address label> <END>

Example Step 4.

• read the command label: <Manually connect>

Commands for (dis)connection:

In case a Bluetooth address is already configured, the reader can be manually connected or disconnected with the following command labels:

• connection: <Manually connect>

• disconnection: <Manually disconnect>

2.3.8. Memorizing

Memorizing options can be used to temporary store bar code data in case the bar code reader lost its connection. As soon the reader is connected again, the temporary stored data is transmitted to the computer and the storage area is cleared. The data is stored in RAM. In case the battery is depleted or battery is removed, data is lost.

The bar code reader is automatically disconnected in case:

• the bar code reader is out of range ( too far away from cradle ),

• power from cradle is lost.

Data memorizing disabled:

Bar code data is not stored automatically, in case the connection is lost. Data memorizing can manually be started by reading the Start/ continue memorizing option.

Data memorizing enabled:

Bar code data is stored automatically, in case the connection is lost.

Memorize after connection loss:

Data is only temporary stored in case the bar code reader lost its connection. Memorizing stops in case the +-DISC-+ label is read or in case the wireless address is changed.

Clear all memorized data:

All memorizing data is deleted and the storage area is cleared.

Available memory for memorizing is reader dependent ( 12kB )

Always memorize when not connected:

Data is always temporary stored in case the bar code reader is not connected.

Memorize control labels:

The next options should be used without reading the SET and END label. These memorizing options are intended to manually control the memorizing mode.

Start/continue memorizing:

Manually start memorizing. In case memorized data was present, it will continue memorizing.

Stop/pause memorizing:

Manually stop memorizing. Memorizing can be continued by reading the Start/continue memorizing option.

3.1.1. Enabling a single read. code

These options do not affect the reading of the menu labels. The required bar code types can be selected by enabling a single readable code only and enabling readable codes.

It is strongly recommended to select only the required codes.

Advantages of selecting only the required codes are:

• faster reading

• no accidental scanning of unwanted bar codes

• reduced probability of reading errors which can not be prevented completely, because of the limited security of some bar code types

Some bar codes are translations or special variants of other bar code types. The next figure lists their relationships. See figure 3.01.

Example:

To read Italian Pharmaceutical type bar codes, Enable Code 39, Select the option 'Italian Pharmaceutical' from the 'Options for Code 39'.

RELATIONS

With this option you can set the reader to read a single bar code type only. If you select 'Code 39 only', no other codes will be read.

Example:

If you want to read Code 39 only, you read the option 'Code 39 only'. See figure 3.02.

3.2. Setting of number of characters

If you are going to read bar codes of known length, it is recommended to set the reader for a fixed number of characters. This can be done for up to two lengths. The reader uses this to verify that labels read are of the correct length, rejecting any labels which do not have the specified length. The advantage of setting a fixed length, is that it provides protection against short scans of labels, such as Interleaved 2of5, which do not provide sufficient security against partial scan. The length checking is done on the label data and is not affected by options such as (not) transmit start/ stop character or check digit. Setting the number of characters does not affect fixed length codes, such as EAN-13. 2D symbologies such as PDF417 and Data Matrix are also not affected by fixed length settings.

The following options are available:

Fixed length OFF all codes.

This option cancels the fixed length checking.

Fixed length ON all codes.

This option enables the fixed length checking. Two fixed lengths are programmed which will affect all variable length codes. This is done by reading the following labels: <SET> <Fixed length ON - all codes> a bar code with the required length, a second bar code with the required length (this may be the same one as the first one) <END> See figure 3.06.

Fig. 3.06. Setting Fixed length ON

all codes

SET

Fixed length ON

Scan a bar code

with the required length

Scan a 2nd bar code

with the required length

END

It is possible to configure a fixed length or a minimum and a maximum length for selected symbologies by reading the respective option followed by a barcode label with the required length. The different functions may be combined and will be used as follows:

• if a label is checked for fixed length, it will not be checked for minimum or maximum length

• if a label is not checked for fixed length it will be checked for both minimum and maximum length

By reading an option followed by the 'END' label, the function is disabled or the values for that option are reset to their default. The default values are:

• fixed: disabled, thus no fixed length checking

• minimum: according to the next figure (The minimum length of the 2of5 bar code types can not be changed independent.)

• maximum: disab led, thus no maximum length checking. (The maximum length is reader dependent)

See figure 3.07.

Example:

The 2 examples shown in the next figure have the following results: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6 characters. Any other bar code type will not be checked for fix ed length. In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6

Minimum length for selected codes:

This option modifies the default minimum length table. The number of minimum lengths which can be configured is reader dependent. This is done by reading the following labels: <SET> <Minimum length for selected codes> Scan bar codes of the required type and length <END>

Example:

The two examples shown in the next figure have the following result: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters. All other bar code types will be checked for a minimum length as displayed in the next figure. In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a minimum length of 4 characters. This implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are checked for a minimum length of 4 characters. All other bar code types will be checked for a minimum length as per figure 3.09.

3.3. Setting code specific options

Code specific options may be configured affecting:

• enabling and disabling code variants and translations, such as EAN-128, as were listed in the relations table for setting of readable codes

• data v erification such as by means of a check digit calculation. A check digit has a value that can be calculated from the other data characters and is usually the last data character in a bar code

• pre-editing of the data string such as removing the check-digit and/or start/stop characters

The more common options are described here:

Check CD:

This option enables the check digit calculation. If the calculated check digit does not correspond to the check digit in the bar code, then the bar code is ignored. The use of a check digit greatly improves the security of a bar code.

Not check CD:

This option disables the check digit calculation. This option is required when the bar codes do not contain a check digit or contain an invalid check digit.

Transmit CD:

This option enables the transmission of the check digit together with the data characters. If the check digit calculation is disabled, the reader can not differentiate anymore between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, including what could constitute a check digit.

Not transmit CD:

This option disables the transmission of the check digit. If the check digit calculation is disabled, the reader can not differentiate between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, excluding the character that could constitute the check digit for the type of bar code.

Transmit ST/SP:

This option enables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code.

Not transmit ST/SP:

This option disables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code. The next figure summarizes the effect of the transmit options for a Code 39 label with:

• start and stop characters '*'

• data characters '1 2 3 4 5 6'

• or data characters '1 2 3 4 5' and check digit '6'

Note that because '6' is, according to the Code 39 specifications, not a valid check digit for this label. The check digit calculation must therefore be disabled in order for the label to be accepted.

Space insertion:

This option inserts spaces in position 2, 7, 13, of the data string for use in library systems.

ST/SP translation:

This option enables the translation and transmission of the start and stop characters. Thus if the option ST/SP: abcd/tn*e is chosen, the start character is converted to lower case, e.g. from A, B, C or D to a, b, c, or d respectively and the stop character is converted from A, B, C or D to t, n, *, or e respectively. The next figure shows the resulting format for these options with a Codabar label using A and B as start and stop characters and 1 2 3 4 5 6 as data characters. For string format see figure 3.25.

Minimum data characters:

Codabar labels are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters are set by the user. If the number of characters in the label is shorter than the number set, the label will be rejected. If the fixed length option is used for Codabar type labels then such labels will additionally be checked for fixed length.

Inter character gap check:

This option enables the reading of Codabar labels with a large or irregular gap between characters. Checking the gap means that it is not allowed to have a gap. Disable the gap check allows gaps in the bar code.

Code 2of5:

Code 2of5 is a variable length symbology with an optional check digit and non printable start and stop characters. The following characters are supported:

• the digits 0 upto 9

The checksum is calculated as the sum modulo 10 of the numerical values of all the data characters.

Industrial 2of5:

This symbology encodes a single digit in each data symbol. Information is carried in the bars only.

Interleaved 2of5:

This symbology encodes a pair of digits in each symbol, the number of digits are therefore always an even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces. The start and stop pattern is not unique inside the code. It is therefore essential to use the fixed length option to prevent partial reads.

Options for code 2of5:

• disable transmission of the check digit

• enable check digit check

• selection of the minimum number of data characters

• disable space check for industrial 2of5

• transmit S-Code as Interleaved 2of5

Minimum data characters:

Code 2of5 are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters as set by the user. If the n umber of characters in the label is less then the number set, the label will be rejected. If the fixed length option is used for a Code 2of5 type label, than such label will additionally be checked for fixed length.

Space check:

This option enables the reading of Industrial 2of5 labels with a large or irregular spacing.

Transmit S-Code as Interleaved 2of5:

This option enables to transmit S-Code as Interleaved 2of5 by adding a leading zero.

Code options

S-Code:

This symbology encodes like Interleaved 2of5 but encodes the last data character as Industrial 2of5. The number of data digits is therefore always an odd number. Information is carried in the bars and the spaces.The start and stop pattern is not unique inside the code. It is therefore essential to use the fixed length option to prevent partial reads.

Matrix 2of5:

This symbology encodes 1 digit in each character, the number of digits can therefore be an odd or an even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces.

For string format of the supported symbologies see figure 3.26.

This chapter describes the alterations which can be made to the format of the transmitted data string.

Options available are:

• case conversion

• transmission of a code identifier

• transmission of the code length

• transmission of a prefix

• transmission of a suffix The string format is transmitted as in figure

4.01.

The bar code data has the format as described in chapter ‘Code Options’.

4.2. Set prefix and suffix

A prefix and suffix of maximum 4 direct input entries each may be included in front and at the end of the string respectively.

Bar code readers with an RS232 interface may be programmed with all 128 ASCII characters. Keyboard wedges may additionally be programmed with the special keys supported by the keyboard, e.g. function keys.

Default settings are:

• RS232: Prefix - None, Suffix - ^M (CR)

• Wedge: Prefix - None, Suffix - return

How to set a prefix or a suffix:

To configure a prefix for example for Code-39 as C39: scan the following labels from this current chapter ‘String Options’: <SET> <Set prefix Code 39> <C> <3> <9> <:> <END>

Bar code readers which do not support a different prefix or suffix for each symbology have to make use of <ALL>.

How to clear a prefix or suffix:

To clear the suffix for example for Code 128 scan the following labels: <SET> <Set suffix Code 128> <END>

How to set a suffix for all symbologies:

To configure for example the suffix <CR> for all symbologies scan the following labels: <SET> <Set suffix ALL> <^M (CR)> <END>

Note that this last example is for an RS232 interface. For a wedge interface a ^M (CR) results in the key combination <ctrl>M.

If the direct input keyboard key <return> from this chapter is selected then the result is a <carriage return> or <Enter> key. See figure

4.03.

Fig. 4.03. Set prefix and suffix

PREFIX

SET

Set prefix Code 39

END

Preamble and postamble:

A preamble is transmitted before the prefix and can contain up to 8 direct input characters. A postamble is transmitted after the suffix and can contain up to 8 direct input characters. A preamble and postamble will be transmitted for all symbologies. By default, the preamble and postamble is empty.

Code identification Opticon:

A code identification and the code length may be included as a prefix or suffix. The direct input 'code identifier' provides a quick method of programming in addition to programming a separate prefix or suffix for each bar code type. See figure 4.04.

Code identification AIM/ISO:

The Code identifier will be transmitted in the ISO 15424 format : ]cm, where:

• ] is ASCII value decimal 93

• c is code character

• m is modifier character(s) For a detailed list of the modifier character 'm' and the AIM-ID’s, refer to the ISO15424 standard. See figure 4.05.

SUFFIX

String options

U83

Page 90

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOK

In case the modifier is an asterix (*), the value depends on the options of the symbology or on the configured Code options. For details refer to their own respective modifier tables. See figures 4.06 up to 4.15.

Code length:

The code length is transmitted as 2 digits, representing the decimal number of data characters transmitted, excluding prefix and suffix characters. For 2D bar codes the code length is transmitted as 6 digits. It is also possible to send for both 1D and 2D codes the length as 6 digits.

These direct input characters count as 1 entry of the 4 permissible entries for a prefix or suffix.

Example:

If you want to configure the prefix <code identifier>:<code length>: scan the following labels: <SET> <Set prefix all> <Code identification> <:> <Code length> <:> <END>

If you want to use the code identifiers, but need another code identifier for Code 39, you scan the following labels: <SET> <Set prefix all> <Code identification> <:> <Set prefix Code 39> <$> <:> <END>
