User Manual

i

Notice

Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scanner is able to perform at the level for which it is designed.

1. All software, including firmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.

2. The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or

design.

3. The material in this manual is subject to change without notice.

4. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise

from the use of this manual.

5. A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle (with USB, or RS-232, or PS2 cable), an antenna,

a 5V AC/DC adaptor (for battery charge) and a CD-ROM (containing software and electrical manuals).

6. Do not throw or drop the scanner or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the

scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper operation.

7. Use a blunt object to operate the stroke keys. Use of a sharp pointed object can damage stroke

keys and cause shorting of internal circuitry.

8. Never try to remove the battery from the scanner.

9. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating

the scanner while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to avoid conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it dries completely before using the scanner.

10. The scanner offers two kinds of wireless network topology: point coordination and distributed

coordination. The default setting of wireless network topology is point coordination. To change the wireless network topology, you must change the setting of both handheld unit and cradle.

11. The scanners within same working area must apply the same wireless network topology.

12. When the point coordination wireless network topology is used, if multi-clusters are working in the

same area, then each cluster must use a different radio frequency channel. Both of the handheld unit and cradle must be configured individually.

13. When the distributed coordination wireless network topology is used, if multi-clusters are working in

the same area, it is strongly recommended that different radio frequency channel numbers are applied to different clusters. While setting up, only the radio frequency channel number of the first handheld unit of a single cluster is required to be set. When the first handheld unit binds to the cradle, the cradle will automatically obtain the radio frequency channel number of the handheld unit. The consecutive joined handheld units will automatically obtain the radio frequency channel number of the cradle.

14. In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, when in multi-clusters working mode, the

physical space between two cradles is required to be at least 2 meters.

15. In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, it is recommended to place the cradle on

ii

a higher location, generally more than 1 meter above the ground. If working outdoor, the higher location the better.

Description of point coordination and distributed coordination wireless network

Notes:

1. In this section, “cluster” denotes an association of a cradle and a number of handheld units.

2. In this section, “RF” is the abbreviation for “radio frequency”.

The scanner offers two kinds of wireless network topology: point coordination and distributed

coordination. Point coordination topology: This network topology employs TDM/FDM integrated technique. Different cluster operates in different frequency, suitable for a place where mass data transmission at short intervals is in need. This network topology utilizes a token communication scheme. When working as a cluster, the cradle talks to the associated handheld units one by one. Only one handheld unit can transmit data to the cradle at a time. One single cluster can support up to 16 handheld units. Warning message will be given when the radio communication is out of working range. Due to an operating cradle occupies one selected frequency channel all the time, thus the radio signal generated does interfere the nearby instruments which adapt the same frequency, such as a remote controller of a garage door. Distributed coordination topology: This network topology employs TDM technique. Different cluster can operate either in the same frequency or in different frequency. One single cluster can support up to 16 handheld units. In the same working area it supports multiple clusters and up to 2000 handheld units operating simultaneously. An operating cradle only occupy the selected frequency channel during data transmitting, so it will not interfere the nearby instruments which adapt the same frequency.

Switch between point coordination topology and distributed coordination topology can be done by

scanning corresponding configuration barcode. Note that both cradle and associated handheld units must be configured.

The handheld unit should be placed in the cradle for power charging. It is suggested to prepare an

individual cradle for power charging purpose if working as a cluster.

1. Sketch map of point coordination operating mode

The scanner utilizes 430.5 ～ 432.0MHz, 433.05 ～ 434.79MHz RF wireless communication with LR-433-WPAN wireless communication protocol. LR-433-WPAN protocol first time introduces self-adaptive frequency hopping technique. With this new protocol, a cordless scanner is able to pick up a high-quality RF channel from a cluster of channels in terms of consolidated communication. LR-433-WPAN protocol supports up to 256 handheld units (16 handheld-units/cradle x 16 cradle = 256) within the same effective communication range. A maximum circle of poll time for one cradle with 16 handheld units is 1 second, while the poll time for one cradle with one handheld unit is less than 0.1 second.

Point coordination wireless communication setting

1. Point coordination wireless communication setting for handheld unit

Wireless network topology for handheld unit: There are two kinds of wireless network topology that can be employed: point coordination and distributed coordination. Handheld unit RF channel No.: The scanner offers 16 different radio frequency channels for the data transmission between handheld unit and cradle. The number of channel can be increased. Handheld unit ID: The scanner offers 16 different handheld unit IDs. Example: to set a handheld unit to work on channel 2 with ID 15 by single-scan setting. Steps: Scan the following barcodes in order.

Radio power level for handheld unit: By selecting, you can change the radio power level for handheld unit. Frequency hopping: If it is enabled, the scanner is able to pick up a higher-performance radio frequency channel from a group of channels in terms of consolidated communication. Batch data mode: Disable- Do not batch data. The handheld unit attempts to transmit every scanned barcode. If the transmission is failed, the barcode data is ignored. Out-of-range batch－ The handheld unit starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the handheld unit walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the cradle (for example, when a user holding the handheld unit walks back into range). Standard batch- The handheld unit starts storing barcode data after “%%%EBM” (

Enter Batch Mode

) is

scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning “%%%SBD” (

Send Batch Data

). In Out-of-range batch or Standard batch modes, calculate the number of barcodes the handheld unit can store as follows: Number of storable barcodes = 16,384 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the barcode + 2). Beep on reconnect attempt: This feature is active only when the Out-of-range batch operating mode is selected. If this feature is enabled, the beeper emits 4 short beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress. Radio connection checking interval: This feature is active only when the Out-of-range batch operating mode is selected. The handheld unit checks the radio communication with the cradle once within the time interval. Save data at low-battery or power-off: If it is enabled, the handheld unit will save data to memory while the battery is low or before the power is off. Low battery indicator: If it is enabled, while the power is low, the power LED on the handheld unit flashes

16

5 times, and the beeper emits 5 beepers for every 10 minutes or 200 scans. In this battery low status, the power LED flashes 2 times by pulling the scanner trigger. Enter sleeping mode interval: If it is enabled, the handheld unit will enter sleeping mode while no operation beyond the time interval defined; the handheld unit will return to normal mode by pulling the scanner trigger. Enter transmitting data mode interval: There is no continuous scanning motion time interval of before the domination handheld unit entering the barcode transmission status. By default when out of range, if there is barcode data awaiting transmission, the handheld unit will try to transmit data to the cradle after no scanning motion occurs for 5 seconds. This can avoid conflict between transmission of barcode data and scanning barcode motion requested by user. VALID/INVALID/LOCK/UNLOCK protocol：If enabled, the host will validate the data after receiving data from the connected cradle. The host will send VALID/INVALID/LOCK instruction to the cradle after validating the data and the cradle will divert the instruction to the associated handheld unit. The handheld unit will give different audio and visual indication depending on the instruction received from the cradle. Note that 1 handheld unit is paired with 1 cradle/base unit to work in this mode is suggested, because some pauses may be obvious before data validation. When a LOCK instruction is received, the decoding function of handheld unit is deactivated and will be reactivated until the receipt of a UNLOCK instruction. The sketch map is shown below:

Keyboard wedge interface for Cradle

Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts. Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or scanner, with the period between 60us to 100us. Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occasions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port would require a free time gap following the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt). Numeric key: Alphabetic key- the scanner will output code result as alphabetic key. Numeric key- the scanner will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only). Alt+ keypad- the scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad). Note that the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with different national keyboard layout. Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates keyboard timing and passes keyboard present status to the PC during power-on. Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted. Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised of three or above bytes. Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer continually with shorter barcode data. Caps Lock reversion: By setting enable, the status of Caps Lock key (i.e. being pressed ON or OFF) on the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status. Caps Lock override: If this function is enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state of the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.

A guide of setting while the scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host

If some characters are missed or some additional characters are incorrectly displayed on the host,

set the Inter-byte delay (0208) to be “01” or greater value.

If some capital character (e.g. “A”) or compound-key-characters (e.g.“shift+”, “Ctrl＋”, “Alt+”） are

displayed incorrectly, set the Delay-after-compound-key to be “01” or greater value.

If some digits are incorrectly displayed as some symbol characters (e.g. “1” and “2” are displayed

incorrectly as “!” and “@”), set the Clock period (0203) to be greater value (e.g. 04, 05).

RS-232 interface for Cradle

Flow control:

None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software handshaking protocol. RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout duration, the scanner will issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle: High RTS), the scanner can be set to match the Serial Host RTS line. XON/XOFF-An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. ACK/NAK-After transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not acknowledge) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. Inter-character delay: Refer to Inter-character delay of Keyboard wedge.

Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the scanner when it waits for a handshaking acknowledgment from the host.

stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.

Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the scan operation should be interrupted for delay time or the focus of the scanner must be moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite. Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm a valid reading. Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode decoded. Notes:

1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is requested.

2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.

3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8 and China Post. Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to the chapters of “String setting” and “String position & Number of truncated leading/ending character”. Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42. All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and

66. Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces in different scale.

Character output restraint: Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH. Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”. Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This function is not effective for all types of barcodes. Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after stopping scanning. Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters (e.g. domestic language), it maybe because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one.

DPM, Multiple symbols, Structured append read, etc.

2D symbols read: A global setting of 2D symbols readability. DPM format read: By setting Enable, the scanner can read 2D symbols in DPM (Direct Park Marking) format. Some barcodes in DPM format are shown below.

Multiple symbols & structured append symbols read:

1) By setting Enable, the scanner allows to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner's trigger. If the user pulls and holds the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping for each success read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled.

2) By setting Enable, the scanner will output data only when all Structured Append symbols have been decoded. The lower part of below figure shows an example of four Structured Append symbols, with the same data as that in the upper symbol.

3) By setting Disable, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.

Single symbol (above) and Structured Append series of symbols (below) encoding

“ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”
