The Phaser Series Scanner

Introduction

The P460/P360 Memory Scanners bring new flexibility and economy to data capture and data management in both retail and industrial operations. In addition to an integrated bar code scanner, the Phaser has an on-board keyboard and display. They can operate in both corded and battery-powered cordless modes. There are many versions available:

• 1D P 460: the batch retail version

• 1D P 360: the batch industrial version

Unless otherwise noted, the term Phaser refers to all versions of the scanner.

Rechargeable Battery

In the handle of the scanner, there is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This provides all power to the scanner during cordless operation. It provides 12 hours of use in a typical application.

When fully depleted, the battery can be recharged to full charge in about 3-1/2 hours.

P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide

The Cradle

The PL 460 and PL 360 Cradles act as a:

•stand

• communication interface with the host

• battery charger for the Phaser Batch Scanner.

Note:The scanner battery can also be charged without a cradle by using

an RS-232 cable and a power supply.

The cradle can sit on a desktop or be wall-mounted, whichever is more convenient. It receives data from the scanner via connectors in the bottom of the scanner and the top of the cradle. It then transmits that data to the host device through an attached cable. It also acts as a holder for the scanner.

The cradle also provides power for charging the scanner’s battery (in the scanner). The cradle has a charge status indicator light that shows the status of the battery charging (Refer to Table 2-1 on page 2-6).

Charge Status Indicator Light

Figure 1-1. Scanner and Cradle

There are two versions of the cradle:

• PL 460 Cradle: batch retail version

• PL 360 Cradle: batch industrial version.

Unless otherwise noted, the term Cradle refers to both versions of the cradle.

Chapter 3 Operation

Introduction

This chapter covers how to use the Phaser scann er.

Default Applications

The Memory Phaser is shipped from the factory with two ready to use default applications:

• Scan and Transmit

• Batch / Inventory

These applications allow users to scan and view data, enter quantities, manually enter data, and much more.

When the unit is powered up, it displays the system start-up banner. Alternatively, the scanner can be reset manually by pressing the <FUNC> key, then the <*> key. When the scanner is powered up or reset, the system banner appears as follows:

Symbol Technologies Phaser Memory Scnr

3-1

Page 34

P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide

Initial Powerup

After a few seconds, the System Banner is replaced by the system initialization screen.

Symbol Technologies Initializing...

After initialization, the scanner enters either the Scan & Transmit mode, or the Batch/ Inventory mode, depending on whether a communications cable is present or not. The default communication protocols are:

• RS-232/Synapse - Scan & Transmit application

• RS-232/Synapse - Batch/Inventory application

If a Synapse cable is attached, the scanner automatically overrides the default settings.

Batch / Inv e ntory Application

The batch/inventory application is a scan-and-store application that allows you to:

• Display and store (Batch) data for transmission later

• Eliminate repetitive scanning with a quantity entry feature

• Manually enter alphanumeric data if no bar code is present

• Review and delete stored records

• Transmit stored (batch) data to a host.

The scanner automatically detects and switches to batch/inventory mode operation when it is removed from the cradle or its cable is disconnected.

The following Batch/Inventory screen appears:

SCAN:___________________ __________________

Scanned bar code data is automatically displayed and stored for review/transmission to a host at a later date.

If the scanner powers down, pull the trigger or press the <ENTER> key to wake it up.

3-2

Page 35

Operation

Numeric Data Entry

The default application also allows you to manually enter data if no bar code is present. By default, this feature is enabled. To disable alphanumeric data entry via the keypad, go

to the symbologies tab inside 123Scan and remove the “X” from the check box next to “Keypad”. (This does not disable the quantity entry feature discussed in Eliminating Repetitive Scanning on page 3-4.)

With keypad entry enabled (default setting out of the box), press the <ENTER> key after keying in data. During data entry, the <BK> key corrects keying errors digit by digit, and the <FUNC> key then <BK> key combination clears the screen so you can start over. If your entry exceeds 34 characters, the characters will scroll off the visible portion of the screen, but are retained for storage.

Alpha Data Entry

To enter alpha characters via the keypad (with keypad enabled, page 3-26), press the <Mode> key once to put the scanner in Alpha Mode.

Numeric buttons 1 through 9 are associated with the alpha characters. For example, the letters A, B and C are located on numeric button 7. Press the button with the letter you desire - once for the letter A, twice for the letter B, or three times for the letter C. You can continue entering alpha characters or switch to numerics. Press <ENTER> to send the data.

To return to numeric entry mode after entering alpha characters, press the <Mode> key again. For example, to manually enter 17ABF5, do the following steps:

Data Action

1 Press numeric button 1. 7 Press numeric button 7. A Press <MODE> button once, then numeric button 7 once.

Wait for one second (you will hear a low pitched beep).

B Press numeric button 7 twice. F Press numeric button 8 three times. 5 Press <MODE> button once, then numeric button 5 once,

then <ENTER>.

For more information, refer to Keypad Operation on page 3-26.

3-3

Page 36

P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide

Eliminating Repetitive Scanning

T o eliminate repetitive scanning of identical items, you can enter a quantity prior to scanning a bar code. This quantity entry feature can also be used when manually entering bar code data.

To enter a quantity, press the * key. The following screen with a default value of “1” will appear:

Quantity: 1

_____________

To enter the value you desire, key in the quantity followed by the <ENTER> key. Next, the bar code data entry screen reappears. Scan the item’s bar code. The scanner sends the bar code data to the host the keyed-in amount of times. For instance, if you type in a quantity of 6 then scan a bar code, the scanner sends that bar code data to the host six times as if the bar code had been scanned six times.

If you have accidentally entered this screen, it will automatically be exited after 5 seconds or by pressing the <ENTER> key without entering a quantity.

3-4

Page 37

Operation

Reviewing and Deleting Stored Records

While running the Batch/Inventory application, you can review and delete stored data. Press the <FUNC> key, then the <2> key to enter this mode. The following screen appears:

CODE: xxxx

aaaa/bbbb

Three fields are shown on this screen:

xxxx = the data contained within the record (the first 25 characters) aaaa = the index number of the record being viewed bbbb = the total number of records stored in memory

Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the stored data. Press the <ENTER> key at any time to exit the review records mode.

To select the record being viewed for deletion, press the <BK> key. A confirmation screen displays:

Delete (data) <Enter>=Yes

Then press the <Enter> key to delete the selected record or the <BK> key to keep (retain) the record.

If a record is deleted, the total number of records (bbbb) displayed on the bottom right of the review screen will not change. For example, if five records have been scanned and stored in memory and the third record is deleted, the review screen will continue to display the total number of records stored in memory as five. But a review of the individual records will show no third record existing. The reviewed records index from the second record (2/5) to the fourth record (4/5), skipping the deleted third record (3/5).

<BK>=No

Transmitting Batch/Stored Data to the Host

When you are ready to transmit your stored (Batch) data to the host, press the <FUNC> key, then the <1> key. Then, place the scanner in the cradle or connect a communication cable.

Note:When attached to a cable, the scanner will automatically begin

running the Scan & Transmit application. The stored (Batch) data will not be transmitted to the host until the <FUNC> key, then the <1> key are entered.

When the screen below appears, the scanner is ready to initiate the transfer. You have 30 seconds to either insert the scanner into a cradle or attach a communications cable. If you fail to do so, a retry screen will appear.

Status: Connect unit to host

T o exit this mode and prevent the transmission of stored (Batch) data to the host, press the <FUNC> key then the <BK> key. After the stored data is transmitted to the host, the following screen appears:

Finished. Clear Data <Enter>=Yes

Press the <ENTER> key to clear the transmitted records/data from the scanner’s memory . Press the <BK> key to retain records/data in the scanner’s memory. If you press the <BK> key, any subsequent scanned bar codes are appended to the end of the existing data.

<BK>=No

Daisy-Chaining Cradles

Up to 12 cradles can be connected in series (daisy-chained) to communicate through a single serial port. This out-of-the-box capability is a standard feature of the Phaser memory scanner’s default Batch/Inventory application. To enable it, simply daisy-chain the cradles together through COM2. See Setting Up the Cradle on page 2-4 for more details. Each cradle still requires its own power supply.

3-6

Page 39

Operation

Optional - To establish which scanner the data originated from, and to prevent a buffer over-write, the scanner ID of daisy-chained scanners must be changed from the factory default of 001 to a unique number. For information on how to set the scanner ID/scanner address, see Scanner Address on page 5-98.

If a scanner is placed in a daisy-chained cradle while another scanner is transferring data to the host, the second scanner will begin its data transfer after the first scanner’s transfer is completed.

Scan and Transmit Application

The scan and transmit application allows you to:

• Display and simultaneously transmit data to a host

• Eliminate repetitive scanning with a quantity entry feature

• Manually enter alphanumeric data if no bar code is present.

The scanner automatically switches to scan and transmit operation when a cable is attached.

The scan and transmit screen appears as follows:

SKU: _____________________

In this mode, scanned bar codes are automatically transmitted to the host in real time. Alphanumeric data may be manually entered in the same manner as described in the Batch

/ Inventory Application on page 3-2. Keyed data transmits once you press the <ENTER> key.

To eliminate repetitive scanning, you can enter a quantity prior to scanning a bar code. Refer to Eliminating Repetitive Scanning on page 3-4.

Operation

123Scan

123Scan is an intuitive Windows based utility that allows you to customize your scanner setup and generate Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An Advanced Data Formatting rule gives you the ability to modify the bar code data before sending it to the host such as appending a carriage return, or some other prefix/suffix value, to the bar code data. This enhances capability between bar code data and your host software, allowing you to program the scanner rather than modifying your host application. The scanner can be programmed via a serial (RS-232) download or by scanning 123Scan generated programming bar codes. Scanner programming is saved in a setup file which can be distributed electronically (Web site, floppy disk, or E-mail).

A copy of 123Scan is on the CD included with your scanner. It is also available on the Symbol Web site http://www.symbol.com. Use the web site’s search tool to find “123Scan” and select the P460/360 product line.

Note:Advanced data formatting rules created with 123Scan are for use

with the default application only and will not work with applications created with MCL-Designer.

To download a 123Scan generated ADF rule, scan the bar code below. Place the scanner in its cradle or attach an RS-232 cable. Then initiate the download on the PC utility.

Scanning

The scanner ships with the default application and default parameters that is ready-to-use right out of the box. If this is not what you need for your application, refer to the MCL Designer Manual for programming instructions and Chapter 5, Parameter Menus for scanning and communications parameters. If you need assistance, contact your local supplier or Symbol Support C ente r.

1. If you are using the scanner in corded mode, make sure all cable connections are secure. Otherwise, make sure the battery is sufficiently charged.

2. Make sure the bar code is in the correct scanning range. Aim and press the trigger. The scanner has read the symbol when:

• You hear a beep.

• The LED above the screen turns green.

• The red laser turns off.

Figure 3-1. Scanning a Bar Code

Scan the Entire Symbol

• Your scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.

• The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner.

• Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

• A short, high tone beep indicates a good decode.

Operation

Right Wrong

Hold at an Angle

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone.”

You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and still achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Keypad Operation

Instead of scanning a bar code, you can enter the bar code data using the keypad on the top of the scanner. By default, this feature is enabled. To disable alphanumeric data entry via the keypad, go to the symbologies tab inside 123Scan and remove the “X” from the check box next to “Keypad”. (This does not disable the quantity entry feature discussed in Eliminating Repetitive Scanning on page 3-4.)

For additional information on 123Scan, see 123Scan on page 3-17. To enter numeric data, type the numeric value desired and press <ENTER>. A beep lets

you know that the entry was accepted. See Figure 3-4 on page 3-27. To enter alpha characters, press the <Mode> key once to put the scanner in Alpha Mode. Numeric buttons 1 through 9 are associated with the alpha characters. For example, the

letters A, B and C are located on numeric button 7. Press the button with the letter you desire - once for the letter A, twice for the letter B, or three times for the letter C. You can continue entering alpha characters or switch to numerics. Press <ENTER> to save or send the data.

To return to numeric entry mode after entering alpha characters, press the <Mode> key again. For example, to manually enter 17ABF5, do the following steps:

Data Action

1 Press numeric button 1. 7 Press numeric button 7. A Press <MODE> button once, then numeric

button 7 once. W ait fo r one sec ond (you wi ll hear a low pitched beep).

B Press numeric button 7 twice. F Press numeric button 8 three times. 5 Press <MODE> button once, then numeric

button 5 once, then <ENTER>.

Every time you press the button with the letter you desire, you hear a low-pitched beep to let you know that the entry was registered. Although the entry is registered, it has not been

3-26

Page 59

Operation

transferred to the host yet. A high-pitched beep lets you know that the entry has been transferred to the host.

To return to numeric mode, press the Mode key again. Pressing the Enter key saves the data.

To put a decimal point (.) into numeric data, type in the numbers before the decimal point, then press the mode key, press the decimal, and press the mode key again. Now resume typing in the values to the right of the decimal.

To enter a dash (-), press the mode key once, then the zero (0) key twice. To enter a blank space ( ), press the mode key once, then the zero (0) key three times. The Function key in combination with a numeric key can be programmed to launch an

operation, such as allowing you to review records. To use the Function key to review records, press the <FUNC> key, release it, and then press the <2> key. For more information on how to program these keys for additional tasks and operations, refer to the MCL Designer User’s Guide p/n 70-37689-XX.

Parameter Menus

Introduction

This chapter has the optional parameter bar codes necessary to program the Phaser memory scanner.

Operational Parameters

The Phaser memory scanner is shipped with the settings shown in Tab le 5-1. Thes e default values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. You can change these default values by scanning the appropriate bar codes included in this manual. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. The default parameter values can be recalled by scanning the bar code in the section Set Default Parameter on page 5-7.

The scanner automatically detects which cable it is attached to, either an RS-232 or a Synapse cable. If it is attached to an RS-232 cable and has either an ICL, Nixdorf, or Fujitsu host interface, then scan the appropriate bar code from page 5-11 after power up. Any other host interface works with the default setting.

If it is attached to a Synapse cable, plug everything together as described on page 2-8 and then follow the directions that come with the Synapse cable for setting up the host interface.

Communication Protocol

The bar codes below set the communication protocol used by the default applications.

• Scan & Transmit application for corded operation

• Batch/Inventory application for uncorded (Batch) operation.

The communication options are RS-232/Synapse or MCL-Net. If you select RS-232/ Synapse, the scanner automatically identifies whether an RS-232 or Synapse interface is required. MCL-Net allows the scanner to communicate with a host running MCL-Link or MCL-Link Lite.

The communication protocols for the two default applications can be set independently of each other.

Note:These communication protocol parameters are only for the Scan &

Transmit and Batch/Inventory applications and will not work with applications created with MCL-Designer.
