Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION

This menu book is intended for setting up your bar code reader to optimize its performance for your particular application. When the required options have been configured, they remain in the reader, even after power down. The reader can be returned to factory default by reading the default label.

Menu labels

The reader must be set by reading the bar code labels in the menu table. The layout of the table is explained in next figure 0.01.

Besides options, some chapters have commands. The commands need to be scanned directly, without reading the “SET” and “END” labels. The commands are executed directly and, unlike options, are not stored in non volatile memory.

Configuring via the menu book

To configure the required options proceed as follows:

• scan the SET label

• scan the required option(s)

• scan the END label After scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non volatile memory.

Recommended steps to follow for quick configuration

After checking your connection you are ready to start the configuration of your reader.

• Check connection: Ensure that the power is disconnected from your equipment before you connect the reader. After connecting the data cable, the power can be applied to the equipment and the reader.

•1: Use chapter 1 to set the correct default for your reader. * The reader is now in factory default.

•2: Use chapter 2 to optimize the interface. * The reader is now able to read bar codes and transmit the data.

•3: Use chapter 3 to optimize the reader for the type of bar codes you use. Set the readable codes first and then the options for each of these codes. * The reader is now able to read the codes you selected, validate the data using length and check digit and transmit that part of the data you specified.

•4: Use chapter 4 to select the string options for your application. These include transmission of code length, conversion of upper and lower case and setting a prefix and suffix. * The reader can now read and transmit the data in the required format.

•5: Use chapter 5 to select the read options to your preference. These options affect the read mode, read time, trigger and redundancy.

•6: Use chapter 6 to select the indicator options you prefer. These options affect the operation of the buzzer and good read LED. * The reader will now operate to your personal preference.

3. CODE OPTIONS

The menu options in this chapter are intended to adjust the decoding settings of the reader:

• which bar code types can be read

• the permissible length of the bar codes to be read

• bar code specific options

Note:

The menubook categorizes the barcodes as groups of different symbologies with their translations and sometimes with relations to other family names. The next figure visualizes how code translations and relations are maintained in this Code options chapter. See figure 3.00.

3.1. Setting of readable codes

These options do not affect the reading of the menu labels. The required bar code types can be selected by enabling a single readable code only and enabling readable codes.

It is strongly recommended to select only the required codes.

Advantages of selecting only the required codes are:

• faster reading

• no accidental scanning of unwanted bar codes

• reduced probability of reading errors which can not be prevented completely, because of the limited security of some bar code types

Some bar codes are translations or special variants of other bar code types. The table on the title page of this chapter visualizes these relations. The setting of different codes is explained in the next chapter 3.1.1. Enabling a single read. code.

3.1.1. Enabling a single read. code

With this option you can set the reader to read a single bar code type only. If you select 'Code 39 only', no other codes will be read.

Example 1:

If you want to read Code 39 only, you read the option 'Code 39 only'. See figure 3.01.

Example 2:

If you want to read one of the special bar codes that is a variation of the readable code, read the single read. code option followed by the dedicated variation option from the applicable symbology options chapter.

• EAN128 only: read the option 'Code 128 only' followed by 'Enable EAN-128 only' from the 'Options for Code 128'.

• Italian Pharmaceutical: read Enable Code 39 only, followed by the option 'Italian Pharmaceutical only' from the 'Options for Code 39'.

See figure 3.02.

Example 3:

If you want to read a code that is changed to another family name, read the new name.

• RSS+14: read the option ‘GS1 Databar’.

See figure 3.03.

3.2. Setting of number of characters

If you are going to read bar codes of known length, it is recommended to set the reader for a fixed number of characters. This can be done for up to two lengths. The reader uses this to verify that labels read are of the correct length, rejecting any labels which do not have the specified length. The advantage of setting a fixed length, is that it provides protection against short scans of labels, such as Interleaved 2of5, which do not provide sufficient security against partial scan. The length checking is done on the label data and is not affected by options such as (not) transmit start/ stop character or check digit. Setting the number of characters does not affect fixed length codes, such as EAN-13. 2D symbologies such as PDF417 and Data Matrix are also not affected by fixed length settings.

The following options are available:

Fixed length OFF all codes.

This option cancels the fixed length checking.

Fixed length ON all codes.

This option enables the fixed length checking. Two fixed lengths are programmed which will affect all variable length codes. This is done by reading the following labels: <SET> <Fixed length ON - all codes> a bar code with the required length, a second bar code with the required length (this may be the same length as the first one) <END> See figure 3.06.

Code options

U15

It is possible to configure a fixed length or a minimum and a maximum length for selected symbologies by reading the respective option followed by a barcode label with the required length. The different functions may be combined and will be used as follows:

• if a label is checked for fixed length, it will not be checked for minimum or maximum length

• if a label is not checked for fixed length it will be checked for both minimum and maximum length

By reading an option followed by the 'END' label, the function is disabled or the values for that option are reset to their default. The default values are:

• fixed: disabled, thus no fixed length checking

• minimum: according to the next figure (The minimum length of the 2of5 bar code types can not be changed independent.)

• maximum: disabled, thus no maximum length checking. (The maximum length is reader dependent)

See figure 3.07.

Fixed length ON for selected codes:

This option enables fixed length checking for different bar code types and will only affects the bar code types read. The number of fixed lengths which can be configured is reader dependent.

<SET> <Fixed length ON for selected codes> Scan bar codes of the required type and length <END>

Example:

The 2 examples shown in the next figure have the following results: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6 characters. Any other bar code type will not be checked for fixed length. In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a length of 12 characters. This implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are checked for a fixed length of 12 characters. Any other bar code type will not be checked for fixed length. See figure 3.08.

Minimum length for selected codes:

This option modifies the default minimum length table. The number of minimum lengths which can be configured is reader dependent. This is done by reading the following labels: <SET> <Minimum length for selected codes> Scan bar codes of the required type and length <END>

Example:

The two examples shown in the next figure have the following result: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters. All other bar code types will be checked for a minimum length as displayed in the next figure. In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a minimum length of 4 characters. This implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are checked for a minimum length of 4 characters. All other bar code types will be checked for a minimum length as per figure 3.09.

Maximum length for selected codes:

This option enables the maximum length checking. The number of maximum lengths which can be configured is reader dependent. This is done by reading the following labels: <SET> <Maximum length for selected codes> Scan bar codes of the required type and length <END>

Example:

The two following examples shown in the next figure have the following result: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a maximum length of 12 characters. Any other bar code types will not be checked for a maximum length. In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a maximum length of 12 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a maximum length of 14 characters. This implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are checked for a maximum length of 14 characters. Any other bar code types will not be checked for a maximum length. See figure 3.10.

3.3. Setting code specific options

Code specific options may be configured affecting:

• enabling and disabling code variants and translations, such as EAN-128, as were listed in the relations table for setting of readable codes

• data verification such as by means of a check digit calculation. A check digit has a value that can be calculated from the other data characters and is usually the last data character in a bar code

• pre-editing of the data string such as removing the check-digit and/or start/stop characters

The more common options are described here:

Check CD:

This option enables the check digit calculation. If the calculated check digit does not correspond to the check digit in the bar code, then the bar code is ignored. The use of a check digit greatly improves the security of a bar code.

Not check CD:

This option disables the check digit calculation. This option is required when the bar codes do not contain a check digit or contain an invalid check digit.

Transmit CD:

This option enables the transmission of the check digit together with the data characters. If the check digit calculation is disabled, the reader can not differentiate anymore between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, including what could constitute a check digit.

Not transmit CD:

This option disables the transmission of the check digit. If the check digit calculation is disabled, the reader can not differentiate between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, excluding the character that could constitute the check digit for the type of bar code.

Transmit ST/SP:

This option enables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code.

Not transmit ST/SP:

This option disables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code. The next figure summarizes the effect of the transmit options for a Code 39 label with:

• start and stop characters '*'

• data characters '1 2 3 4 5 6'

• or data characters '1 2 3 4 5' and check digit '6'

Note that because '6' is, according to the Code 39 specifications, not a valid check digit for this label. The check digit calculation must therefore be disabled in order for the label to be accepted.

See figure 3.11.

3.3.2. Options for UPC-E

The UPC-E symbology is a fixed length symbology encoding 6 data digits, a check digit and non printable start/stop characters. The following characters are supported:

• the digits 0 upto 9

An optional leading digit can be transmitted, which together with the data and the check digit forms an 8 digit field providing a compatibility with the EAN-8 format. For string format see figure 3.14.

UPC-E add-on 2/add-on 5:

The UPC-E symbology as described above can be succeeded by an additional 2 or 5 digit UPCE code. For string format see figure 3.15.

UPC-E0 stands for UPC version E0 and the first digit is always a '0'. UPC-E1 stand for UPC version E1 and the first digit is a '1'. Options for UPC-E0 affects UPC-E1 too. Support for UPCE1 is reader dependent.

Options for UPC-E:

• enable transmission of the leading digit

• disable transmission of the check digit

• transmit UPC-E as UPC-A

Space insertion:

This option inserts spaces in position 2, 7, 13, of the data string for use in library systems.

ST/SP translation:

This option enables the translation and transmission of the start and stop characters. Thus if the option ST/SP: abcd/tn*e is chosen, the start character is converted to lower case, e.g. from A, B, C or D to a, b, c, or d respectively and the stop character is converted from A, B, C or D to t, n, *, or e respectively. The next figure shows the resulting format for these options with a Codabar label using A and B as start and stop characters and 1 2 3 4 5 6 as data characters. For string format see figure 3.26.

Minimum data characters:

Codabar labels are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters are set by the user. If the number of characters in the label is shorter than the number set, the label will be rejected. If the fixed length option is used for Codabar type labels then such labels will additionally be checked for fixed length.

Inter character gap check:

This option enables the reading of Codabar labels with a large or irregular gap between characters. Checking the gap means that it is not allowed to have a gap. Disable the gap check allows gaps in the bar code.

4. STRING OPTIONS

This chapter describes the alterations which can be made to the format of the transmitted data string.

The bar code data has the format as described in chapter ‘Code Options’.

Set prefix and suffix

• transmission of a preamble (common prefix)

• transmission of a postamble (common suffix)

• transmission of a prefix

• transmission of a suffix

The string format is transmitted as in figure

4.01.

The input entries are described in this chapter.

U55

4.2. Set prefix and suffix

A prefix and suffix of maximum 4 direct input entries each may be included in front and at the end of the string respectively.

How to set a prefix or a suffix:

To configure a prefix for example for Code-39 as C39: scan the following labels from this current chapter ‘String Options’: <SET> <Set prefix Code 39> <C> <3> <9> <:> <END>

Bar code readers which do not support a different prefix or suffix for each symbology have to make use of <ALL>.

How to clear a prefix or suffix:

To clear the suffix for example for Code 128 scan the following labels: <SET> <Set suffix Code 128> <END>

How to set a suffix for all symbologies:

To configure for example the suffix <CR> for all symbologies scan the following labels: <SET> <Set suffix ALL> <^M (CR)> <END>

If the direct input keyboard key <return> from this chapter is selected then the result is a <carriage return> or <Enter> key. See figure

4.03.

Preamble and postamble:

A preamble is transmitted before the prefix and can contain up to 8 direct input characters. A postamble is transmitted after the suffix and can contain up to 8 direct input characters. A preamble and postamble will be transmitted for all symbologies. By default, the preamble and postamble is empty.

Code identification Opticon:

A code identification and the code length may be included as a prefix or suffix. The direct input 'code identifier' provides a quick method of programming in addition to programming a separate prefix or suffix for each bar code type. See figure 4.04.

Code identification AIM/ISO:

The Code identifier will be transmitted in the ISO 15424 format : ]cm, where:

• ] is ASCII value decimal 93

• c is code character

• m is modifier character(s)

For a detailed list of the modifier character 'm' and the AIM-ID’s, refer to the ISO15424 standard. See figure 4.05.

SET

Set prefix Code 39

END

SET

Set suffix Code 128

SUFFIX

U56

In case the modifier is an asterix (*), the value depends on the options of the symbology or on the configured Code options. For details refer to their own respective modifier tables. See figures 4.06 up to 4.17.

Code length:

The code length is transmitted as 2 digits, representing the decimal number of data characters transmitted, excluding prefix and suffix characters. For 2D bar codes the code length is transmitted as 6 digits. It is also possible to send for both 1D and 2D codes the length as 6 digits.

These direct input characters count as 1 entry of the 4 permissible entries for a prefix or suffix.

Example:

If you want to configure the prefix <code identifier>:<code length>: scan the following labels: <SET> <Set prefix all> <Code identification> <:> <Code length> <:> <END>

If you want to use the code identifiers, but need another code identifier for Code 39, you scan the following labels: <SET> <Set prefix all> <Code identification> <:> <Set prefix Code 39> <$> <:> <END>

5. READ OPTIONS

This chapter allows to set the read mode, trigger type, redundancy and illumination.

U79

5.1. Read mode options

The following read modes are available:

Single read:

When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will be turned OFF. The reader must be triggered again to read another label. This option and 'Disable trigger' can not be programmed at the same time.

Multiple read:

When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will stay ON for a time as set by 'Read time options' or indefinitely if the trigger switch has been disabled. The same label can only be decoded again after the label has not been detected for a number of scans.

5.1.1. Multiple read reset time

This option can be used in conjunction with multiple read mode.

• for Laser and CCD readers, it sets the time that the reader should be pointed away from the label before it can decode the same label again

• for Image readers, it sets the number of frames that the reader should be pointed away from the label before it can decode the same label again

Indefinitely means that the next bar code must always be different, during the time the bar code reader is triggered. For the image reader the multiple reset time is not measured in ms, but in frames. The

duration of each frame is variable, and is dependent of the captured image. See figure

5.01.

5.1.2. Quiet zone options

With this option the reader can decode bar codes that have smaller start and/or end margins than specified for the symbology. Be careful when using this option. It may increase the possibility of partial reads and ghost reads. Do not use smaller margin checks then necessary. If possible replace the bar code labels by ones that have correct start and end margins.

5.3. Redundancy

This is the number of times that a label must be correctly decoded before it is transmitted. Selecting a higher redundancy count makes reading slower, but it reduces the probability of reading errors, especially when labels of poor definition are used.

SET

Read 1 time, redundancy = 0

5.4. Positive and negative bar codes

Usually bar codes are printed black on white, but sometimes white on black. These labels are called positive and negative respectively. In case the 'negative bar codes' option has been selected, positive labels may not be decoded anymore or with difficulty. This also applies to menu labels. To enable the reader to read positive labels again, a number of negative menu labels have been included.

5.5. Floodlight and aiming options

The floodlight and aiming options affect the light source that illuminates the area of the bar code symbol.

The floodlight illuminates the full area during image capturing. When the scannable area consists of a highly reflecting surface the floodlight might need to be disabled to prevent over-exposure.

If an aiming light is available, the bar code reader can generate an aiming pattern to help the user to target at the bar code symbol. The aiming pattern will only be visible between two image captures. The aiming pattern will be off when the floodlight is on.

Disable floodlight:

The option ‘disable floodlight’ does not illuminate the area of the bar code symbol during image capturing.

Alternating floodlight:

The option ‘alternating floodlight’ switches by turn between enabled and disabled floodlight.
