User’s Guide 7

Laser/Input Modes

The Mini PowerWedge can operate in any of the following modes:

Normal Mode

In normal mode, the Mini PowerWedge accepts bar code or magnetic stripe input from all supported types of input devices except serial devices. This is the default setting for the Mini PowerWedge’s laser/ input modes.

Autoscan Mode

Use this mode for stand-mounted lasers. This mode returns the laser to the ready-to-read state immediately after each read.

Multiscan Mode

This mode allows you to scan bar codes without pressing and releas­ing the trigger for each read. In this mode, the laser or CCD remains in the ready-to-read state for as long as the trigger is held down.

Symbol Blinking Mode

Use this mode for automatic scanning with a Symbol laser mounted on the Symbol IntelliStand.

Serial Input Mode

In this mode, the Mini PowerWedge accepts input from serial devices or wands. All other input is disabled.
Bar codes for setting laser/input modes are on page
56.

Programming the Mini PowerWedge

The Mini PowerWedge is configured with certain default parameter settings before it is shipped from the factory. These predefined defaults will work for most applications. However, you may need to customize your settings for the specific types of bar codes you will be scanning.
You can program your Mini PowerWedge with any of the following methods:
• Predefined-default programming—see page 10
• Auto-Learn—see page 11
• Batch programming—see page 12
• Menu programming—see page 14
• On-screen programming—see page 16
• Cloning—see page 20
The section in this user’s guide titled, Bar Codes for Programming the Mini PowerWedge, provides bar codes for common settings for the Mini Power­Wedge. A supplemental booklet, the Mini Power­Wedge Programming Reference, provides complete information for programming the Mini PowerWedge, including I.D. numbers and acceptable input for all
NOTE
parameters, and Code 39 and ASCII equivalents for all keyboard keys. If you need this additional infor­mation, please contact your dealer or Customer Ser­vice to order a copy of the programming reference booklet.
User’s Guide 9

Predefined Defaults

The Mini PowerWedge has the following sets of default parameters:
T Predefined Default 0 (D0) turns every on/off parameter off and
sets all minimum and maximum lengths to zero (00). This default set makes it easy for you to start with everything off and then enable only the bar code symbologies and parameters you wish to use. This can prevent unwanted data entry to your applica­tions.
T Predefined Default 1 (D1) turns every on/off parameter on and
sets all maximum lengths as high as possible. It also sets bar code and magnetic stripe preambles and postambles. This default set gives you the best chance of reading an unknown bar code sym­bology, and it also identifies the bar code type for you.
T Predefined Default 2 (D2) is the default set that was installed in
the decoder at the factory. This default set meets most users’ needs.
The host device setting (C0) is not affected by the predefined default sets.
NOTE
You can reset your Mini PowerWedge to one of the predefined default sets by scanning one of the following bar codes:
T D0
*$+$-D0EE*
T D1
*$+$-D1EE*
T D2
*$+$-D2EE*

Auto-Learn

Auto-Learn is the simplest method of customizing the Mini Power­Wedge. With Auto-Learn, you “teach” the decoder to accept the types of bar codes you use.
The current settings for the Mini PowerWedge remain unchanged unless they are explicitly set during Auto-Learn programming. For example, enabling Code 11 does not affect other symbologies. To dis­able all symbologies except the ones you want to use, program the decoder to use Predefined Default 0 (see page 10) before starting Auto-Learn.
To program the Mini PowerWedge using Auto-Learn . . .
1. Scan the

2. Scan a sample of each of your bar code labels. Be sure the
decoder beeps after each read. It is important that you scan each type of label (e.g., Code 39, UPC) as well as the smallest and largest bar codes (e.g., 6 characters and 10 characters) that you want the decoder to read.
3. Save the setup by scanning the following bar code twice.

User’s Guide 11

Batch Programming

Batch programming uses bar codes that program the Mini Power­Wedge with a single scan. Each batch bar code contains commands to place the decoder into programming mode, set one or more parame­ters, save the settings, and exit programming mode. When you suc­cessfully scan a batch bar code, your decoder programs itself to your settings, beeps five times, and automatically returns to read mode, ready to go to work.
To accept batch programming, the Mini Power­Wedge must be programmed to use the extended (or full ASCII) Code 39 character set. The decoder was shipped from the factory ready to read the extended
NOTE
character set. If you have changed the default, scan the following bar code to enable full ASCII mode:
*$+$-051EE*

Using Provided Bar Codes

The section of this manual titled, “Bar Codes for Programming the Mini PowerWedge” provides bar codes that you can use for setting many programming parameters for the Mini PowerWedge.
To use the provided bar codes to program the Mini PowerWedge . . .
1. Use the contents list on page 21 to find the bar codes for the parameter you are looking for.
2. Use a scanner attached to the Mini PowerWedge to read the bar code for the setting you want.
If the parameter setting you want is not included in this manual, you can create your own bar codes (see pages 13–14) or use the bar code menu to pro-
NOTE
gram the Mini PowerWedge (see “Menu Program­ming,” beginning on page 14).

Creating Your Own Bar Codes

To program the Mini PowerWedge using custom bar codes . . .
1. Create Code 39 bar codes containing the programming I.D. numbers and parameters you want to set. (This information is available in the Mini PowerWedge Programming Reference.) You can create the bar codes with a bar code printing pro­gram, a word-processing program, a desktop publishing pro­gram, or any other program that can use and print a Code 39 font. See the guidelines below.
2. Use a scanner connected to the Mini PowerWedge to read the bar codes. The decoder beeps five times when programming is successful. If a bar code contains an invalid programming entry, the decoder beeps twice and ignores the entire bar code.
Guidelines for Creating Batch Bar Codes
Keep the following in mind when creating bar codes for batch programming:
• Create your programming bar codes using the standard Code 39 character set, not the full ASCII character set. (The decoder must read the bar codes in full ASCII Code 39 mode, how­ever.)
• The first and last character of each bar code must be an aster­isk (*), the start and stop character for Code 39. (Most label­printing software programs automatically place the asterisks in Code 39 bar codes.)
• The first asterisk of each bar code must be followed immedi­ately by the characters $+$-. This lets the decoder know that it is reading programming information rather than data.
• Each bar code must end with EE and the final asterisk.
• String data must appear in a programming bar code after the I.D. number for the code parameter. Use two slashes (//) to terminate the string. (Parameters that accept string data include preambles and postambles.)
• You must enter control or “action” characters (for example, tabs, line feeds, or function keys) by encoding their Code 39 equivalents (see the Mini PowerWedge Programming Reference). For example, to enter a horizontal tab, you would include the character pair $I in the bar code.
User’s Guide 13
The following bar code provides an example of batch programming. Scanning it will turn off the autoterminator and set the maximum length for Interleaved 2 of 5 labels to 15.
*$+$-B1%U0A15EE*
Like all Code 39 bar codes, this one starts and ends with an asterisk (*). $+$- starts programming mode. B1 specifies the autoterminator parameter, and %U is the Code 39 equivalent of the null character, which turns it off. 0A specifies the Interleaved 2 of 5 maximum­length parameter, and 15 sets it to 15 characters per label. EE saves the new settings and exits programming mode.

Menu Programming

This programming method makes use of a “menu” of bar codes found on the last page of this booklet. To program the Mini Power­Wedge with the bar code menu, you must know the I.D. number of the parameter you want to set and the acceptable input for that parameter. This information is available in the Mini PowerWedge Pro- gramming Reference.
If you need to change only one or two parameter settings and don’t have a copy of the programming reference booklet, you can get the information you
NOTE
need from your dealer or Customer Service.
To program the Mini PowerWedge using the bar code menu . . .
1. In the Mini PowerWedge Programming Reference, find the iden-
tification number (I.D. #) of the parameter you want to change.
2. Scan the the last page of this booklet.
3. Scan the bar codes for the digits of the parameter’s I.D. num­ber. Then scan the bar codes for the setting you want to make or string you want to enter. For example, the I.D. number for enabling Codabar is 20, and the code for On is 1. So to turn on Codabar, you would scan 2 and 0 (for 20) and then scan 1 (for On). (For other examples,
START bar code at the top of the bar code menu on
14 Mini PowerWedge
®
see “Entering Values,” “Entering Strings,” and “Setting an Autoterminator,” on page 15.)
4. Save the programming changes by scanning the bar code
labeled
E in the bar code menu twice. After the first scan, the
decoder should beep once and the red LED should flash. After the second scan, the decoder should beep five times and the green LED should be lit.
If you make a mistake or “get lost” while in program­ming mode, scan the esc bar code near the top of the menu. Then continue from step 4 above. To quit programming mode without saving any changes,
NOTE
scan the e bar code and then the f bar code in the menu.

Entering Values

To enter a value setting, you must scan two bar codes for the I.D. number and two more for the value. For example, to set a minimum length of 6 for Code 128, you would scan 4 and 1 (for I.D. #41, Code 128 minimum length) and then 0 and 6 (for the value 06).

Entering Strings

To enter a string (such as a preamble or postamble), look in the Mini PowerWedge Programming Reference for the ASCII values of the charac-
ters you want to enter, and then scan the bar codes for those values. End the string by scanning the bar code for //, which is the end-of­string character.
For example, to include a tab at the beginning of every block of data you read, you would set a bar code preamble by scanning the bar codes for the following characters:
B6 09 //
I.D. number for bar code preamble
User’s Guide 15
ASCII value for the tab character
End-of-string character

Setting an Autoterminator

An autoterminator is an ASCII character that the decoder places at the end of each data transmission. You can use autoterminators to sepa­rate input with tabs, carriage returns, punctuation, or other ASCII characters.
To set an autoterminator (I.D. #B1), scan the bar codes for the ASCII value of a single ASCII character with no string terminator (//). For example, to set an autoterminator of CR (carriage return), you would enter B10D. To set no autoterminator, you would enter B100.

On-Screen Programming

This method lets you display programming parameters and settings on your screen. You can select parameters and change their settings using the computer’s keyboard.

Cloning

Cloning is a way to copy the setup from one Mini PowerWedge to another. Once you have programmed the first Mini PowerWedge, you can use it as a master to turn other Mini PowerWedges into clones of the first one.
You must use identical decoders to make clones. For example, you cannot turn a Mini PowerWedge into a clone of a PowerWedge 10. Also, the units you

To program the Mini PowerWedge using cloning . . .

3. Remove the bar code reader from the master, and connect the
cloning cable (part number 00-874-25) to the input connector on the master.
To make your own cloning cable, see the pinout dia­gram in the Mini PowerWedge Programming Refer­ence.
NOTE
4. The Mini PowerWedge that you want to program is called
the “slave.” Set the On/Off/Program switch on the slave to the
OFF position.
5. Connect the free end of the cloning cable to the input connec-
tor on the slave.
6. Set the On/Off/Program switch on the slave to the
PRGM
position. The parameter settings from the master Mini PowerWedge will immediately be copied into the slave. The slave will indi­cate successful programming by beeping three times and repeatedly flashing its green LED twice.
7. Turn the slave off and disconnect the cable from it.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to make additional clones. Then
turn the master off and remove the cable from it.
Leaving the master unit in cloning mode for longer than necessary may cause it to overheat.
