About This Manual

This manual presents advanced user information which includes connection, programming, product and cable specifications, and other useful references. For additional information, such as installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information, see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of other publications for this product are downloadable free of charge from the PSC website listed on the back cover of this manual.

On leaving the factory, units are programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, custom programming can be accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

Chapter 1

Getting Started

Bold text and a yellow-highlighted background indicates the most common default setting for a feature/option.

Manual Conventions

The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the scanner:

Getting Started

Connecting the Scanner

The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation. Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the scanner to the terminal, PC or other host device.

Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions below, proceed to

Interface Related Features section of this manual and scan the bar code to select the correct

the interface type.

Programming

The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface bar code from the tion, you can select other options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and programming bar codes available in that section and also the chapters of this manual.

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like the label below for resetting defaults, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the scanner to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan a START/END bar code once to enterProgramming Mode. Once the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the START/ END bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal operation.

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you are unsure of what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings bar code below (you do not have to scan START/END bar codes when scanning the Standard Product Default Settings bar code). This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current configuration.

Standard Product Default Settings

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu commands for the standard RS-232 interface in tings for the other interfaces can be found in

LED and Beeper Indicators

The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the scanner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications, such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.

The good read beep indication is configurable. Options include: Enable/disable, frequency, duration and volume. See the Product Reference Guide (PRG) for more information.

The Beeper can provide diagnostic feedback if the scanner discovers a problem during SelfTest.

The Beeper will sound as programming bar code labels are scanned, indicating progress during scanner configuration.

Error Codes

Upon startup, if the scanner flashes its indicator LED or sounds an unexpected series of beep tones (other than normal power-up indications), this means the scanner has not passed its automatic Selftest and has entered FRU pressed, the sequence will be repeated.

Data Editing Overview

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM or Wand Emulation interfaces.

CAUTION

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.

There are several types of selectable 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 symbolo-

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to two ASCII characters (00-FF hex), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. See

Appendix D, Default Settings, for a listing for common symbolo-

gies. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature,

AIM ID.

To configure a Label ID:

1. Scan the START bar code.

2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate bar code.

3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label ID.

4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose either one or two) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology. Next, turn to the

ASCII Chart on the inside

back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D.

5. Turn to

Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac-

ters determined in the previous step. For the example given, the characters ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.

Character Conversion

Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.

For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:

41423132FFFFFFFF

The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.

With the label, AG15TA81, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BG25TB82.

The A characters were converted to the B character and the 1 characters were converted to the numeral 2 character. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.

To set Character Conversion:

1. Scan the START/END bar code.

2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.

3. Determine the desired string. Up to sixteen positions can be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.

4. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step.

5. Scan the START/END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the START/END bar code twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.
