【Start Setup】

Chapter 2 General Configuration

Introduction

There are two ways to setup the barcode engine.

Setting Barcode

To used reading a series of special barcode to setting the barcode engine. In the following sections, we will introduce the

available set of options and features and provide a corresponding setting code.

Setting Command

To used PC to send the setting command string to setting the barcode engine. In the following chapters, in addition to

setting code, we will introduce the setting of the command string.

Notice: All the setting command will keep in barcode engine except a few temporary setting commands will

disappear after reboot or power off.

Format of Setup Barcode

This is the sample of setup barcode.

The setup barcode label is consisted of three parts:

1、 The barcode portion of the setup barcode.

2、 The command description or code string of corresponding to the setup barcode.

3、 The name of the setup barcode or function, such as the function of turn off setup code.

12 【Exit Setup】

【Start Setup】

【Send the SettingCommand】

【Do not Send the SettingCommand】

Use the Setting Barcodes

 The setup function will be activated by reading the “Start Setup” barcode.The procedure of configurating can be done

by reading more than one setup barcodes.

 If any itme or function needs more parameters, such as check byte, please see the last section in this chapter.

 The current settingcommand can be send to the host. Accoring to the factory default setting is not able to send the

current setting command to the host.By scanning the barcode:”Send the setting command”, the scanner will enable the function to send the setting command to the host.

 The start setup function is activated in the fartory default setting. Only a small possibility that the data barcode is the

same with the settingcommand, thus,it is not necessary to scan the “Exit Setup” barcode to close the setup mode, to keep it will not effect the normal operation.

 Some functions may adjust the working parameters; the numeric system of parameter is decimal or hexadecimal,

these values are entered by setting barcodes.The data code in the appendix includes all the necessary numerical values.

 In the default mode, the scanner will not send the current settingcommand to the host; in case of a special need, the

customer can set the scanner tosend the setting cpmmand to the host. The function of setup will not be affected whether the setting command are sending or not. But the setup of “Send the setting command” is only temporarily effective; the scanner will restore to the state of “do not send the setting command” after reboot or power-off.

Use the Setup Command

The setup command is based on the communication serial port; it is meant to use the visible charaters from 0x20 to 0x7D to

describe all the content.

Setup State

When the function setup is carried out through serial communication mode, the device must be set into the “setup state”; in

such state, the device only accept, process and respond the command from serial communication.

By sending a specified command can let the device enter to the set state. In the setup state to sending the specified

command also allows to exit, the device will self exit from the setup state within 5 seconds did not received any new

command.

Setup Protocol

1. Enter to setup state: To send“$$$$”to the scanner，reply“@@@@” when success.

2. Exit fromsetup state: To send“%%%%” to the scanner，reply“^^^^”when success.

3. If you received “^^^^” reply from scanner, that mean the scanner was exit from setup state.

4. The format of command is to add“＃”in front of each command, and end by“；”. For example:“#99900030;”.

5. The scanner will reply a success message, by add “!” in front of setting command and end by “;”. For example: “!99900030;”.

6. The scanner also will reply anerror message, by add “?” in front of setting command and end by “;”. For example: “?99900030;”

7. The scanner will reply “!xxxxxxxx;” and contains in "&{" and "}" the query results, when you sending a query command. For example:

Sending “#99900301;” query command for asking the firmware version. Received “!99900301;&{Firmware v1.7.5;Decoder v1.00.023.C6;|FD25430B}”.

Description:

The “Firmware v1.7.5;Decoder v1.00.023.C6;|FD25430B” among in "&{" and "}" is the query results. And “|FD25430B” is the data string CRC32 checksum value.

By definition, if the feedback may contain the invisible character, it will be shown as hexadecimal characters, every two characters indicate one character value. Such as:

“＆{AAAA100423C5008001FF400001FF400001FF400001FF400001FF40000000408000004080000040000000408000 0040800000408006FF40000000408000004080000040800000408006FF400006FF400006FF400006FF400004FF400004F F400002FF400004FF400004FF400004FF400001FF400000000000006A75667467646E426863657271776C6F766973626 1797A706D5-2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000600000FEB2A2F4CCCF D390ADC8D38FF5E6D99DAA|E1DFA587}”

8. If the setting command contains parameters, then the command will be combined according to the command system definition. For example: The combined command string which is stop by 0x0D and 0x0A. The combined sending commands are:

“#99904112;#99900000;#99900015;#99900000;#99900012;#99900020;”.
