Appendix B
Bar Code Label Specifications
All bar code symbols/labels should satisfy the appropriate AIM
Uniform Symbology Specification.
Background Substrate:
The bar code symbol should be printed on material (media) that
is reflective and has a matte (not glossy) finish. A background
diffuse reflectance of at least 70% to 80% is desirable for
optimum contrast. Retro-reflective media should be used to
obtain decode distances greater than 36 inches.
Ink Color and Type:
The inked bars should not exceed 25% reflectance at the
wavelength that is being used for reading, whether printed with
black ink or colored ink. The reflectance value should not vary
more than 5% within the same character.
Voids and Specks:
The code should be printed clearly, free of voids, specks,
blemishes and lines that could “fool” the scanner. Specks or
blemishes in the white spaces, or false or missing bar sections
could be interpreted by the reading equipment as part of the
code. Generally, the width of such flaws is more serious than the
height. Code symbols/ labels should be rejected if these defects
are present.
Definition:
The bars in the bar code symbol should be well defined. Their
edges should not be rough or fuzzy, so that the bars and spaces
have the proper widths intended for the bar code symbology
used.
Contrast:
Background reflectance (that of the substrate on which the codes
are printed) should always provide a good contrast relative to
the ink reflectance (that of the code bars). The difference
between the two should be at least 37.5% at the wavelength
used for reading.
APPENDIX B: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS | 35
Tolerance:
The ratio of the widths of bars and spaces in a bar code symbol
must conform to the appropriate AIM bar code specifications and
can cause problems if not correct throughout the bar code.
Problems can occur when bar edges are smeared or rough, or
when they exhibit voids.
36 | APPENDIX B: BAR CODE LABEL SPECIFICATIONS
Appendix C
Enabling or Disabling Symbologies
Socket Mobile bar code scanning products are pre-set to automatically detect
and decode (autodiscriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. Refer
to the following tables to determine which symbologies and parameters are
default. To change your symbology settings, use either of two methods,
depending on your device type and which settings you want to change.
Note:
• Enabling more symbologies makes the scanner work harder to search through
all possible combinations. This may make the decoding process slightly
longer.
• Do not enable Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 simultaneously.
OPTION 1: Symbology Selector for Windows Mobile
If you are using a Windows Mobile-based device, you can quickly enable and
disable any of the seventeen most popular symbologies by using the SocketScan
Symbology Selector. Refer to Chapter 2 for instructions.
Note: The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is
used. Refer to the table on the next page.
OPTION 2: Scan Programming Bar Codes
If you are not using a Windows CE device, and/or if you want to modify an
option not included in Symbology Selector, you can scan programming bar
codes to configure your SD Scan Card. There are programming bar codes that
let you enable/disable symbologies as well as configure special features (e.g.,
specify bar code lengths, transmit check digits, recognize supplementals, etc.).
Programming bar codes are available in the Advanced Programming Guide
online at www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads/data-
collection/series3/?page=Detail
WARNING!
When scanning programming bar codes with the SD Scan Card, do not scan any bar
codes that set communication protocols, or the SDSC will be disabled and must be
returned to Socket Mobile for reprogramming.

Decode Zone
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics
including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow ratio, and edge
acuity. The minimum element width (also known as the “X
Dimension”, “size” or “symbol density” of a bar code) is the
width in thousandths of an inch (or ‘mils’) of the narrowest
element (bar or space) in the bar code. The figures shown are
the typical scanning distances (Depth of Field) for selected bar
code sizes.
For example, the SD Scan Card 3E should be able to scan a 10 mil
bar code when the bar code is positioned between 1.25 and 7.5
inches from the nose of the scanner.
The maximum readable length of a bar code symbol (Width of
Field) at any given range is also shown. In the example above,
the maximum length of a 10 mil bar code scanned at a distance
of 7.5 inches is approximately 8 inches including the quiet zone.

Scanning Tips
Practice to determine the best scanning angle and distance for
your type of bar code.
Aiming Beam
Aim the scanner so that the red beam covers the entire width of
the bar code.
Scan Angle — SD Scan Card 3M/3P
For best results with the laser-based SD Scan Card, position the
scanner at an angle to the bar code, at least 15° from
perpendicular. Otherwise, light can bounce back into the scanner
and “blind” the sensing mechanism.
APPENDIX E: SCANNING TIPS | 47
Scanning with the SD Scan Card 3E
The SD Scan Card 3E is based on miniature CMOS linear imaging
technology. This device is basically a camera that captures
rectangular digital images measuring about 1 degree high and
40 degrees wide. The imaging rate varies between about 20 and
40 images per second and automatically compensates for
ambient lighting conditions — the more ambient light, the more
images per second. It is inappropriate, however, to compare this
imaging rate to the rate of the sweeping beam of a laser scanner
because the CMOS image is affected by blurring, while the laser
technology is not. For this reason, it’s important to hold this
scanner still while scanning.
Adequate lighting of the target bar code is critical to scanning
with imaging technology. Unfortunately, providing auxiliary
lighting increases the size, energy consumption, control
complexity and cost of the scanning device. For these reasons,
the red light from the SDSC scanner is simply an aiming beam —
it does not add any auxiliary lighting to the target bar code. For
this reason, it’s important to provide adequate ambient lighting
to the target bar code while scanning with this scanner.
Like all cameras, the SD Scan Card 3E has a "focal length"
(minimum and maximum distance from the target) where the
image can be clearly captured. The focal length of the SDSC
scanner is rather small compared to that of laser scanners. For
best results while scanning “normal” sized bar codes such as the
UPC codes used on retail items, the SDSC scanner should be held
from about 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 cm) from the target.
Tips for Maximizing SDSC 3E Scanner Performance:
1. Minimize movement during scanning — The SD Scan Card 3E
must be held reasonably steady on the target for a short
period of time while the camera focuses and captures a clear
image. The scanner typically requires only several milliseconds
to capture a clear image, no more than a quarter to a half of a
second.
2. Provide adequate ambient lighting
any camera, works much better when the target bar code is
well-lit.
3. Determine the optimum focal length
a fairly small focal length, so it is helpful to experiment until
—The SDSC scanner, like
— The SDSC scanner has
48 | APPENDIX E: SCANNING TIPS
you find the best scanning distance. Hint: When encountering
scanning difficulties, most people have a tendency to move the
scanner too close to the target bar code! Try moving it farther
away for better results.
4. Position the scanner at an angle
— No bar code scanner works
well when positioned exactly perpendicular to the target bar
code label, because the reflected light tends to “blind” the
sensing mechanism. For best results, position the scanner at
least 15 degrees away from the perpendicular to the surface of
the bar code.
5. Experiment with different techniques and conditions
— The
more you experiment with different techniques, lighting
conditions, scanning distances and positions, the more
proficient you will become.

SYMPTOM:
When I try to scan, the scanner activates, but no data
appears on my screen, and the scanner eventually
deactivates.
POSSIBLE REASON SOLUTION
The scanner is too close or too
far from the bar code.
The bar code is incorrectly
formatted or poorly printed.
The bar code symbology may
be disabled.
Practice so you get
accustomed the most
