Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The XL-3100supports all mainstream 1D as well as PDF417, QR Code (QR1, QR2, Micro QR), Data Matrix and GS1-DataBarTM(RSS) (RSS-Limited, RSS-14, RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-Expand).
The XL-3100 can read barcodes on virtually any medium - paper, plastic card, mobile phones and LCD displays. It provides an ideal solution for both emerging mobile phone-based barcode applications, like coupons, e-tickets and boarding passes, and traditional applications.
TheXL-3100’s instant power on/off feature along with ultra low power consumption brings greater efficiency and convenience in barcode scanning applications.

About This Guide
This guide provides programming instructions for the XL-3100. Users can configure the XL-3100 by scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The XL-3100 has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without further configuration. Users may check the Factory Defaults Table in Appendix for reference. Throughout the manual, programming barcodes marked with asterisks (**) are factory default values.
Barcode Scanning
Powered by area-imaging technology，the XL-3100 features fast scanning and accurate decoding. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming pattern projected by the XL-3030-Mover the barcode.
Configuring the XL-3100
There are two ways to configure the engine: barcode programming and command programming.
Barcode Programming
The XL-3100 can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable features/ options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following sections.
2
Command Programming
Besides the barcode programming method, the XL-3100 can also be configured by serial commands sent from the host device. Note that communication parameters on the engine and the host must match so that two devices can communicate with each other. The default settings of the engine are 9600bps, no parity check, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. The engine uses 8-bit registers.
Read Register
The read command is used to read the contents of 1 to 256 contiguous registers in the engine.
Syntax: {Prefix1} {Types} {Lens} {Address} {Datas} {FCS}
Prefix1 : 0x7E 0x00 Types : 0x07 Lens : 0x01 Address: 0x0000~0x00FF, starting register address. Datas : 0x00~0xFF, number of registers to be read. When Datas=0x00, 256 contiguous
registers are to be read.
FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum, 2 bytes.
Computation sequence: Types+ Lens+Address+Datas; polynomial: X16+X12+X5+1 (0x1021), initial value: 0x0000.
The following C language program is provided for reference.
3
unsigned int crc_cal_by_bit(unsigned char* ptr, unsigned int len) { unsigned int crc = 0; while(len-- != 0) { for(unsigned char i = 0x80; i != 0; i /= 2) { crc *= 2; if((crc&0x10000) !=0) crc ^= 0x11021; if((*ptr&i) != 0) crc ^= 0x1021; } ptr++; } return crc; }

Reply: {Prefix2} {Types} {Lens} {Datas} {FCS}
1) Success message: Prefix2 : 0x02 0x00 Types : 0x00 (success) Lens : The number of data returned. If Lens=0x00, that means values of 256 contiguous
registers are returned. Datas : 0x00~0xFF, data that are returned. FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum.
2) CRC check failure message: Prefix2 : 0x02 0x00 Types : 0x01 (CRC check failure) Lens : 0x01 Datas : 0x00 FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum (0x04 0x01)
3) Invalid command message: Prefix2 : 0x02 0x00 Types : 0x03 (invalid command) Lens : 0x01 Datas : 0x00 FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum (0x6A 0x61)

6
Write Register
The write command is used to write contiguous registers (1 to 256 registers) in the engine.
Syntax: {Prefix1} {Types} {Lens} {Address} {Datas} {FCS}
Prefix1 : 0x7E 0x00 (2 bytes) Types : 0x08 (1 byte) Lens : 0x00~0xFF (1 byte), byte count, i.e. number of registers written. When Lens=0x00, 256
contiguous registers are to be written. Address : 0x0000~0xFFFF (2 bytes), starting register address. Datas : 0x00~0xFF (1~256 bytes), data to be written into the register(s) FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum, 2 bytes.
Computation sequence: Types+ Lens+Address+Datas; polynomial: X16+X12+X5+1 (0x1021), initial value: 0x0000.
The following C language program is provided for reference.

Write a value (DATA) to the specified bits (BITPOSITION) of the register (ADDR).
1. Program general parameter with serial command
A programming command (i.e. the characters under programming barcode) contains 7 characters. The function of each character is described in the table below.
Note:1. CMD: Command type.
2. ADDR: Address of register to be written.
3. BITPOSITION: Bit(s) the value is written to. For example, if only bit 3 is to be written, the BITPOSITION should be “08”; if all bits are to be written, the BITPOSITION should be “FF”.
4. DATA: Value written to the BITPOSITION.
The ADDR and DATA in programming command correspond to Address and Datas in serial command, respectively:
1) If BITPOSITION=”FF”, the values of ADDR and DATA can be used directly in the write command. e.g., programming command: WFFD9D8 (write value 0xD8 to register 0x00D9)
serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0xD9 0xD8 0x91 0x53 reply received : 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x33 0x31
2) If BITPOSITION≠”FF”, users need to read the register content, calculate the value (Datas) and then write the value into the register, as shown in the following example.
e.g., programming command: W030002 (write value 0x02 to bit1and bit0 of register 0x0000)
Step 1: Read the content of register 0x0000.
serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x07 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x01 0x41

Program the timeout between decodes
0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x05 0xTT 0xSS 0xSS
Program the decode session timeout
0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x06 0xTT 0xSS 0xSS
Step 2: Calculate the value written to the register.
Datas = (0xD4 & (! 0x03)) + 0x02 = 0xD5
Step 3: Write the value into the register.
serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x00 0xD5 0xEF 0x41 reply received : 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x33 0x31
2. Program special parameter with serial command
The serial commands used for programming the following parameters are practically irrelevant to their programming commands.
Note: Red: Address of register.
Blue: Value written to register. For example, to set the sensitivity level to 10, 0xTT should be 0x0A.
Pink: CRC checksum calculated.
3. Save register data in EEPROM
Scanning a programming barcode can change register value and save register data in EEPROM as well. As for command programming, it requires a write command and a save command to perform these two tasks. To save register data in an external EEPROM, users need to send the save command to the engine.
save command sent: 0x7E 0x00 0x09 0x01 0x00 0x00 0xDE 0xC8

Programming Barcode Data
Transmit Programming Barcode Data
Restore All Factory Defaults
Programming barcode data (e.g. WFFD980) can be transmitted to the Host. To enable this feature, scan the barcode below. After the feature is enabled, programming barcodes will be handled as non-programming barcodes and they cannot be used to configure the scan engine. The barcode data will be sent to the Host when a programming barcode is scanned and decoded. By default, the XL-3100 does not transmit programming barcode data.
After the engine is powered down and re-energized, this feature will be automatically disabled (i.e. the engine does not transmit programming barcode data) and the ability of programming barcodes to configure the engine will be restored.
Factory Defaults
Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults. See Appendix A: Factory Defaults Table for more information.
Note: Use this feature with discretion.

The XL-3100 provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.
TTL-232 Interface
Serial communication interface is usually used to connect the engine to a host device (like PC, POS). When the XL-3100 is connected to a host device through its TTL-232 interface, serial communication is enabled by default. However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.
The serial communication interface provided by the engine is based on TTL signals. TTL-232 can be used for most application architectures. For those requiring RS-232, an external conversion circuit is needed.
Default serial communication parameters are listed below, among which only baud rate can be altered.
28

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host requirements.
29
USB Interface
** USB DATAPIPE
USB HID-KBW
When the XL-3100 is connected to a host device through its USB interface, USB DATAPIPE is enabled by default. User can switch between options – USB DATAPIPE, USB HID-KBW, USB COM Port
Emulation and HID-POS, upon actual need.
USB DATAPIPE
A driver is required when using this protocol to communicate with the engine.
USB HID-KBW
When the engine is connected to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KBW
feature by scanning the barcode below. Then the engine’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is required.
30
Standard Keyboard
** Standard Keyboard
Emulate ALT+Keypad
When the USB HID-KBW feature is enabled, the engine selects Standard Keyboard by default. Besides that, the other two options are provided: Emulate ALT+Keypad and Function Key Mapping.
Emulate ALT+Keypad
When Emulate ALT+Keypad is enabled, any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) is sent over the numeric keypad no matter which keyboard type is selected. Since sending a character involves multiple keystroke emulations, this method appears less efficient.
1. ALT Make
2. Enter the number corresponding to the ASCII character on the keypad.
3. ALT Break
Note: It is recommended to turn on the Num Lock light on the host when using this feature.
31
Function Key Mapping
Function Key Mapping
When Function Key Mapping is enabled, function character (0x00 - 0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad.
1. CTRL Make
2. Press function key (Refer to the ASCII Function Key Mapping Table on the following page)
3. CTRL Break

Beep on Unknown Character
** Beep on Unknown Character
Do Not Beep on Unknown Character
** No Delay
Short Delay (5ms)
Medium Delay (10ms)
Long Delay (15ms)
Due to the differences in keyboard layouts, some characters contained in barcode data may be unavailable on the selected keyboard. As a result, the engine fails to transmit the unknown characters.
Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of beep when an unknown character is detected.
Inter-Keystroke Delay
This parameter specifies the delay between emulated keystrokes.
37
Caps Lock
** Caps Lock OFF
Caps Lock ON
The Caps Lock ON option can invert upper and lower case characters contained in barcode data. This
inversion occurs regardless of the state of Caps Lock key on the Host’s keyboard.
Note: Emulate ALT+Keypad ON/ Convert All to Upper Case/ Convert All to Lower Case prevails over Caps Lock ON.
Example: When the Caps Lock ON is selected, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted as “aBc”.
38
Convert Case
** No Case Conversion
Convert All to Lower Case
Convert All to Upper Case
Scan the appropriate barcode below to convert all bar code data to your desired case.
Example: When the Convert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted as “abc”.
39
Emulate Numeric Keypad
Emulate Numeric Keypad
** Do Not Emulate Numeric Keypad
When this feature is disabled, sending barcode data is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard. To enable this feature, scan the Emulate Numeric Keypad barcode. Sending a number (0-9) is emulated
as keystroke on numeric keypad, whereas sending other character like “+”, “_”, “*” , “/” and “.” is still
emulated as keystroke on main keyboard. However, this feature is influenced by the state of the Num Lock key on the host: if the Num Lock light on the host is ON, numbers are sent over numeric keypad, if it is OFF, numbers are sent over main keyboard.
Note: Make sure the Num Lock light of the Host is turned ON when using this feature.
Emulate ALT+Keypad ON prevails over Emulate Numeric Keypad.
40
USB COM Port Emulation
USB COM Port Emulation
HID-POS
If you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, the USB COM Port Emulation feature allows the Host to receive data in the way as a serial port does. However, you need to set communication parameters on the engine to match the Host requirements. A driver is required for this feature.
HID-POS
The HID-POS interface is recommended for new application programs. It can send up to 56 characters in a single USB report and appears more efficient than USB HID-KBW.
Features:
HID based, no custom driver required. Way more efficient in communication than USB HID-KBW and traditional RS-232 interface.
Note: HID-POS does not require a custom driver. However, a HID interface on Windows 98 does. All HID interfaces employ standard driver provided by the operating system. Use defaults when installing the driver.

Acquire Scanned Data
After a barcode is decoded, the engine sends an input report as below:
VID/PID
USB uses VID (Vendor ID) and PID (Product ID) to identify and locate a device. The VID is assigned by USB Implementers Forum. vendor ID is 1EAB (Hex). A range of PIDs are used for each product family. Every PID contains a base number and interface type (keyboard, COM port, etc.).

Chapter 3 Scan Mode
**Manual Mode
Manual Mode
Manual Mode (default): A trigger pull activates a decode session. The decode session continues until the
barcode is decoded or the trigger is released.
43
Continuous Mode
Continuous Mode
Decode Session Timeout
Continuous Mode: The engine automatically activates a decode session. The decode session continues
until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. When a decode session is completed, the engine waits until the timeout between decodes expires and then starts next session. The engine continues to work in this pattern if the following situation does not happen: no barcode is presented to the engine or passed in front of it in a decode session, the engine will automatically suspend barcode reading. Pressing the trigger can suspend/resume barcode reading.
Decode Session Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 5.0s. If the parameter is set to 0, the engine scans and decodes barcode continuously. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.
44
Timeout between Decodes
Timeout between Decodes
This parameter sets the timeout between decode sessions. When a decode session ends, next session will not happen until the timeout between decodes expires. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from
0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 1.0s. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.
45
Sense Mode
Sense Mode
Decode Session Timeout
Sense Mode: The engine waits for the image stabilization timeout to expire before activating a decode
session every time it detects a change in ambient illumination. Decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. After a decode session ends, the engine waits for the timeout between decodes to expire before beginning to monitor ambient illumination. If no barcode is presented to the engine or passed in front of it in a decode session, the engine will automatically suspend barcode reading and start to monitor ambient illumination.
In the Sense mode, a trigger pull can also activate a decode session. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the trigger is released. When the session ends, the engine will continue to monitor ambient illumination.
Decode Session Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 5.0s. If the parameter is set to 0, the engine scans and decodes barcode continuously. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.

After a decode session ends, the engine waits for the timeout between decodes to expire before beginning to monitor ambient illumination. This parameter is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 1.0s. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.
Image Stabilization Timeout
The engine waits for the image stabilization timeout to expire before activating a decode session every time it detects a change in ambient illumination. This parameter is programmable in 0.1s increments from
0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 0.4s. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.
47
Sensitivity
High Sensitivity
** Medium Sensitivity
Low Sensitivity
Custom Sensitivity
Sensitivity specifies the degree of acuteness of the engine’s response to changes in ambient illumination. The higher the sensitivity, the lower requirement in illumination change to trigger the engine. You can select an appropriate degree of sensitivity that fits the ambient environment. The default setting is Medium Sensitivity.
Sensitivity levels range from 0 to 255. The smaller the number, the higher the sensitivity. Users can select a desired sensitivity level that helps achieve greater efficiency. To learn how to program
this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.
48
Command Trigger Mode
Command Trigger Mode
Decode Session Timeout
Command Trigger Mode: Decode session is activated by a host command (i.e. set the bit0 of register
0x0002 to “1”). The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires.
Decode Session Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 5.0s. If the parameter is set to 0, the engine scans and decodes barcode continuously. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.
49
IR Trigger Mode
By default, theXL-3030-M switches to the IR Trigger scan mode (indicated by beeper) when holding down the trigger for over 10 seconds. In this scan mode, the trigger distance is up to 26cm, but it can be altered to meet customerization needs. After the engine is powered down or re-energized, it will switch back to the previous scan mode. Holding down the trigger over 10 seconds again can enable the engine to exit the IR Trigger scan mode (indicated by beeper) and switch back to the previous scan mode.

Always ON
Illumination
A couple of illumination options are provided to improve the lighting conditions during every image capture:
Normal (default): Illumination LED is turned on during image capture. Always ON: Illumination LED keeps ON after the engine is powered on. OFF: Illumination LED is OFF all the time.
51
Aiming
** Normal
OFF
Always ON
When scanning/capturing image, the engine projects an aiming beam which allows positioning the target barcode within its field of view and thus makes decoding easier.
Normal (default): The engine projects an aiming beam only during barcode scanning/capture. Always ON: Aiming beam is constantly ON after the engine is powered on. OFF: Aiming beam is OFF all the time.

Chapter 6 Data Formatting
Enable AIM ID Prefix
** Disable AIM ID Prefix
In many applications, barcode data needs to be edited and distinguished from one another. Usually AIM ID and Code ID can be used as identifiers, but in some special cases terminating character
suffix like Carriage Return or Line Feed can also be the alternative. The engine can be configured to transmit barcode data in the following format:
[“F”/ “S”] + [Code ID] + [AIM ID] + [DATA] + [terminating character]
Note: [DATA] must be transmitted while user can decide whether to transmit any of the rest parts.
[“F”/ “S”]: decode result notification.
AIM ID Prefix
AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers) IDs define symbology identifiers and data carrier identifiers. For the details, see Appendix B: AIM ID Table. If AIM ID prefix is enabled, the engine will add the symbology identifier before the scanned data after decoding.
56
CODE ID Prefix
Enable CODE ID Prefix
** Disable CODE ID Prefix
** Original CODE ID
