Features
The M2004-I418 d if f ers from t he s tandard in the
following ways:
• Plural Stage bar code decoding is supported.
• Custom default parameter settings are implemented.
• Supplemental Recognition Characters are
supported.
Plural Stage Bar Codes
A Plural Stage bar code is defined as multiple
barcodes that are printed in close proximity to
each other. They are usually arranged in a
vertical fashion (i.e. one above the other),
although this is not a requirement.
Two modes of plural stage decoding are
supported in this product:
• RC Mode requires the use of recognition
codes in order to decode plural stage bar
codes. Row recognition codes can be programmed by the user for use when the
scanner is in RC Mode. In this mode the
scanner supports 2-stage, 3-stage, and 4stage bar code readin g, where the number
of the stage indicates the n umber of separate bar codes that make up the plural
stage bar code set. See Plural Stage Row
Recognition Codes on page 23 for details
regarding the format of t he recognition
codes.
• NRC Mode does not require the use of recognition codes. In this mode, the number of
bar codes the scanne r must decode prior to
transmitting is set through the NRC Mode
Plural St age Select parameter. This param-
eter can be set from 2 - 5 barcodes.
When the data is transmitted, formatted row 1
data is sent first, formatt ed row 2 is sent second,
etc. See Plural Stage ADF Rule on page 21 for

Plural Stage Inter-Decode Wait Time
When a bar code from a plural stage set is
decoded, this parameter sets the amount of
time within which an attempt is made to
decode the next plural stage bar code within
the set. If another bar code is not decoded
before this time expires, the previous
decode(s) is invalidated.
T o select a n ew wait time (programmab le from
0.0 to 5.0 seconds in .1 second increments),
scan the bar code below followed by two
numeric bar codes, starting on page 39.
Plural Stage Inter-decode Wait Time
Plural Stage Decode Inhibit Timeout Between Full Stage Decodes
This parameter sets the amount of time the
scanner delays before resuming decode
attempts after a complete stage has been
decoded (i.e., all rows have been read).
T o set this param eter (programmable from 0.0
to 5.0 seconds in .1 second increments), scan
the bar code below followed by two numeric
bar codes, starting on page 39.

Plural Stage ADF Rule
A new ADF criteria and action allow
formatting of plural stage data. When any
plural stage bar c ode is read (criteria is “When
Plural Stage Scan”), the data is sent
according to the spec ification (action is “Send
Plural St age Form at”), i.e., th e data i s sent as
follows:
<formatted 1st row>
<formatted 2nd row>
<formatted 3rd row>
<formatted 4th row>
where the row formatting is det ermined by the
Plural Stage Row Data Transmission Format
Options on page 13.
This new criteria allows the user to perform
standard ADF on plural stage bar codes by
reading them as a single bar code.
To recreate the default rule:
1. Scan the “When Plural Stage Scan Data” bar code below:
When Plural Stage Scan Data
(Criteria)
2. Scan the “Send Plural Stage Format”
bar code below:
Send Plural Stage Format
3. Scan the “Save Rule” bar code f rom the
Cyclone

This allows you to send plural stage format
after entering several ADF rules (some of
which use the When Plural Stage Scan Data

the default rule.
To change the Scan Data Transmission

“Normal Scan Data T ransmis sion O ption” bar
code below instead of the “Scan Options ” bar
code.
Normal Scan Data
Transmission Option
This allows the user to format plural stage
data one way and normal bar code data
another way. The “Scan Options” bar code
sets a When Scan Any criteria, which is the
highest priority criteria and overrides the
When Plural Stage Scan Data criteria.
Note: To format normal data and plural
stage data the same, the “Scan

Plural Stage Row Recognition Codes
Up to two different recognition codes can be
programmed for each row within ea ch type o f
plural stage bar code (2-Stage, 3-Stage, or 4Stage ). A recognition code consists of from 1
to 3 ASCII characters. For each character a
position value mus t be programmed to tell the
scanner what positio n in the bar code to look
for that character. This position value is
programmed to be relative to the left side of
the bar code data or relative to the right side
of the data.
Programming Recognition Code
Characters
T o pro gram the recognit ion code cha racter(s):
1. Scan the appropriate recognition code
character bar code, starting on page 25.
2. Scan 1, 2, or 3 bar codes from the alphanumeric keyboard bar codes in the Cy-
™
M2000 Series P roduct Refe rence
clone
Guide.
3. Scan “Recognition Chars Done” on page
35.
Programming Recognition Code Position
Values
To program the position values for a
recognition code:
1. Scan the appropriate position value bar
code, starting on page 25.
2. Scan a numeric bar code, starting on page
39 to indicate which cha racter (1st, 2nd, or
3rd) of the recognition code you are setting a location value for.
3. Scan the “From Left” or “From Right” bar
code on page 35 to indicate whether the
position value you will enter is relative to
the left side or the right side of the bar
code data.
4. Scan two numeric bar codes, starting on
page 39 to represent the posit ion valu e it-

self. The first bar code scanned represents the most significant digit. For
example, to enter a position value of 10,
scan 1, then 0.
Note: All row 1 recognition codes (for
any plural stage type) must be
unique from all other reco gnition
codes. Row 2, 3, or 4 recognition
codes must only be different from
the recognition codes set for the
other rows within the same plural
stage type (2-stage, 3-stage, or 4stage). If an illegal entry is attempted, the scanner sounds an
error beep.

double decodes when in Omn i-directional and
