RS-232 Advanced Features
Flow Control
None: The communication uses only TxD and RxD signals, without
regard for any hardware or software handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS: If the QS2500 wants to send the bar code data to the host com-
puter, 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 (response delay) duration, the QS2500
will issue five warning beeps.
Xon/Xoff: When the host computer is unable to accept data, it sends an
Xoff code to inform the QS2500 to suspend data transmission
and an Xon to continue.
ACK/NAK: When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the QS2500 waits for an
ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not acknowledge) from the host
computer after data transmission. It then resends the data in
response to a NAK.
PSC Aux. Port: This configures the QS2500 flow control to connect to the
Auxiliary (AUX) port of some PSC omni-directional scanners.
The QS2500 will assert RTS high to signal the scanner that data
will be sent immediately after RTS is asserted. When connecting
to a PSC scanner aux. port, additional programming is required
to enable transmission of code IDs for all symbologies to be
scanned.
Mode B: This configures the RS-233 flow control to communicate to some
Wincor (SNI) terminals.
Intercharacter Delay
This is the delay time between outputs of data character. It is the same as
the intercharacter delay of the keyboard wedge.
Block Transmission Delay
This is the delay time between outputs of bar code data. It is the same as
the block transmission delay of the keyboard wedge.

This feature enables/disables the scanner’s ability to set the symbology
identifier for the specified symbology to Code 39 before sending the label
data to an IBM host. This applies to: Code 128, Code 93 and Codabar for
IBM Port 5B; Code 93 and Codabar for IBM Port 9B.
This feature is for IBM port 5B and IBM port 9B.
NOTES
IBM-USB Device Type
The IBM-USB protocol allows for the scanner to be identified as one of
two different types of barcode scanners. Depending on what other scanners you may already have connected to a IBM-USB POS, you may need
to change this setting to enable all scanners to communicate. Options are:
• Table Top Scanner
• Handheld Scanner
This feature applies only to the IBM USB interface.

Scanning
Scanning Mode
Good-read off: The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning.
The light source of the QS2500 stops scanning when there is a successful
read or no code is decoded after the standby duration has elapsed.
Momentary: The trigger button acts as a switch. Pressing the button acti-
vates scanning and releasing the button stops scanning.
Alternate: The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Pressing the button
activates or stops scanning.
Timeout off: The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning, and
the QS2500 stops scanning when no code is decoded after the standby
duration has elapsed.
Continue: The QS2500 always keeps reading, and it does not matter
whether the trigger button is pressed or the standby duration has elapsed.
Select this mode for use in Stand Mode.
Test only: The QS2500 always keeps a constant reading, and same-label
reading is allowed without double confirmation. The feature can test the
performance of the QS2500 for reading speed and sensitivity.
Standby Duration
A timeout duration of 1 to 99 seconds can be set. It is effective only when
the CCD scanning mode is operated in timeout-off mode and good-read
off mode.
Same Bar Code Delay Time
If the bar code has been scanned twice, then only the first bar code will be
accepted.
16 QS2500
Double Confirm
If this option is enabled, the QS2500 will require a several successful
decodings to confirm the bar code data. Larger settings will make misreads
less likely. If a double confirm is set, the multifield scan function will be
disabled.
Multifield Scan
The QS2500 can be read many sets of bar code data on the same scanning
line at the same time, even if they are different kinds of bar code symbology.

length can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as the actual
bar code data length to be sent. Labels with length exceeding these limits
will be rejected. Make sure that the minimum-length setting is no greater
than the maximum-length setting; otherwise, the labels of the symbology
will not be readable. In particular, you can set the same value for both
minimum and maximum lengths to force decoding of only fixed-length
bar codes. This setting has no effect on certain symbologies of fixed
length.
Set the minimum/maximum length if you have a special demand for individual bar codes. Include the checksum digits if you want to set global

characters can be truncated. The QS2500 will beep instead of reading
anything when the truncate value is more than the bar code data digits or
the truncate leading value overlaps the truncate ending value.
Code ID Setting: The code ID represents the bar code type. It is affixed to
the beginning or end of the transmitted data if the feature is selected. If
you want your application to transmit the code ID, you must set the code
ID transmission option to
Insertion Group Selection: The QS2500 offers one or two insertion groups
for a symbology. Set one or two digits to indicate which insertion group
you desire. See pages

NOTE
Read: Format:
Start “*” Data Digits (Variable) Checksum (Optional) End “*”
Checksum Verification: The checksum is optional and presented as the sum
mod 43 of the numerical value of the data digits.
Checksum Transmission: When this option is enabled, the QS2500 will
transmit the checksum.
Maximum/Minimum Code Length: Each symbology has own maximum and
minimum code length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length
is defined as the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths
below the minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum and minimum code lengths for a specific symbology are both set to
zero, the global minimum and maximum code length settings are in
effect.
Make sure that the minimum length setting is not greater than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the labels of the symbology will be
unreadable. You can set the same value for both minimum and maximum
length to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.
Truncate Leading/Ending: Same as UPC-A. See page 27.
Code ID Setting: Same as UPC-A. See page 27.
Insertion Group Selection: Same as UPC-A. See page 27.
Format: The Full ASCII Code 39, an enhanced set of Code 39, uses a total
of 128 characters to represent Full ASCII code. Each Full ASCII Code 39
character is a combination of one of the characters +,%, $ and / with an
uppercase alphabetical character (A to Z).
Product Reference Guide 35
Append: This function allows several symbols to be concatenated and be
treated as a single entry. The QS2500 will not transmit the embedded
appending code (for Code-39, a space). If the append function is enabled
and other symbols are read again with the appended code, then the codes
are transmitted without the code ID, preamble, or prefix. When a symbol
was decoded without the appended code, the data is transmitted without
the code ID and prefix, but the postamble suffix codes are appended. This
function is used when the first character of Code 39 data is a space.
Start/End Transmission: The start and end characters of Code 39 are aster-
isks (*). You can transmit all data digits, including the two asterisks.
