About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for

Product specifications, dimensions,

warranty, and customer support information are also included.

POS-X barcode scanners are factory programmed for the most common termi­nal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, pro­gramming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking Your Device

After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following
steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Connecting the Device

Connecting with USB

A scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer.

1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the
computer.

2. The scanner beeps.

POS-X EVO 2D area-imaging scanner.

the

3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual.

The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 2-2 for other USB
terminal settings.

Connecting with Keyboard Wedge

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” where the scanner provides data output that is similar to keyboard
entries. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:

1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the
terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the
terminal/computer.

3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.

4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps once.

The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge inter­face with a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to bar
code data.

Reading Techniques

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre­sponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.

The aiming beam or pattern is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code
and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or
elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger
bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single
or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appro­priate distance from the target, press the button, and center the aiming beam or
pattern on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., lami­nated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted
reflection.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

POS-X scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending
serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu
codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the
nearest technical support office (see Customer Support on page 11-1) for fur­ther information.

Setting Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

Set Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before
scannning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command
requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that
entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered
all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save
Custom Defaults bar code.

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting.
To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you
had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom
defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set
Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code,
and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain,
but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Acti­vate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar

code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If
there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default set­tings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults
will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the
original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default set­tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate
Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.

interfaces.

Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have

the interface in effect.

Keyboard Wedge

If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles key­board wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the bar code below. Key­board wedge is the default interface.

Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

Laptop Direct Connect

For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows opera­tion of the scanner in parallel with the integral keyboard. The following Laptop
Direct Connect bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix and turns
on Emulate External Keyboard (page 2-12).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power

cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lower­case. So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can make the
output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to
“abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.

These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for

Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-11). Otherwise, your output may not be as

expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off

Control Character Output

This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example,
when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would
display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart

(Code Page 1252) on page A-4. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the

first column of the chart).

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The
same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response
to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps,
there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read.
The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the
number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar
code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual.

Default = 1.

Number of Beeps – Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the scanner for a bad
read or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For example, if you program
this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five
LED flashes in response to an error. To change the number of error beeps,

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode

Sensitivity

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until
a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the
code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may
not work properly.

Presentation Sensitivity

Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the
scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity,
scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-

20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting,

and 20 is the least sensitive.

Default = 1.

Presentation Centering

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is
in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended
by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together,
Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see

Centering (page 3-10).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded
or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scan­ning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass
through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation
Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left,
and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.

The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the scanner’s button is pressed when using a hands free mode, the
scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner
should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further button
presses) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.

Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration
(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save.

Default =

5,000 ms.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the scanner can read the
ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the
same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads.
Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is
required. Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode (see page 3-6).

Scanner Time-Out

Scanner Time-Out powers down the scanner after the unit has been idle for the
specified time. To prevent the scanner from powering down, set this time-out to
0, or no timer. Scan Scanner Time-Out, then set the time-out by scanning dig­its (from 0 - 999,999 ms) from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Default = 1 ms.

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the
scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For
instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that
only the desired codes are read.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation

Centering (page 3-6).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or
output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the
scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify
using the Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and
Right of Centering Window bar codes.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section
are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break­down of a message string:

Points to Keep In Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this
chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.

Default

prefix = None. Default suffix = None

.

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one
time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear
on the output.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all
symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix
or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters,
which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the

Prefix

Scanned Data

Suffix

1-11
alpha numeric &
control characters

variable length1-11
alpha numeric &
control characters

symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For
example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish

to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once

to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash
itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for
U.P.C..

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a
symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single sym­bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char-
acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all
symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then pro­grams a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts
of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on

page 7-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-

verted to a key code before it is transmitted.

Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and
Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For exam­ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used
only if you wish to alter the output.

Default Data Format setting = None.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send

Commands on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).
Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an
alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format

* Default Data Format

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page

Enter Data Format

Save

Discard

5-8 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3
digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to
which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35

for the Code I.D.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the

Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50

characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating
all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-4). Scan the symbols
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric
characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving

your changes.

or 3, depending on the format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type
and Code I.D. (see Symbology Chart on page A-1), and the bar code
data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other
formats remain unaffected.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbolo­gies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid read­ing length, the scanner will issue an error tone. You may wish to set the same
value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed
length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

Min. length = 09Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

Min. length = 15Max. length = 15

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming

Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum

lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatena­tion, the scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character,
adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two mes­sages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Select Require to prevent the scanner from decoding a single “D” Codabar
symbol without its companion. This selection has no effect on Codabar
symbols without Stop/Start D characters.

The use of ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application
Specification describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood prod­ucts, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128 due to its high
degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128
that supports concatenation of neighboring symbols, and 4) the standard
layout for bar codes on a blood product label. Use the bar codes below to
