Service Information

If you have a problem with your equipment, contact the Symbol Global Interaction Center for your region. See the table below for contact information. Before calling, have the model number, serial number, and several of your bar code symbols at hand.

Call the Global Interaction Center from a phone near the scanning equipment so that the service person can try to talk you through your problem. If the equipment is found to be working properly and the problem is symbol readability, the Interaction Center will request samples of your bar codes for analysis at our plant.

If your problem cannot be solved over the phone, you may need to return your equipment for servicing. If that is necessary, you will be given specific directions.

If desired, program the digital imager scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preferen ce featu re and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features.

The digital imager scanner ships with the settings shown in the Table 4-4 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A,

Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit

requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in

non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital imager scanner is powered down.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When

scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. (See Chapter 6, SSI Interface

Chapter 7, USB Interface and Chapter 8, RS-232 Interface for specific host information.) This is only

necessary upon the first power-up when conn ec te d to a ne w ho st. To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. Throughout the

programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-5. The digital imager scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences and Miscellaneous Options - Parameter Defaults

Table 4-4 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

•

Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. The s e new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the *Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-4.

•

Download data through the devi ce’s se rial port using SSI. He xadecimal parame ter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options a re shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters using this method.

Imaging Preferences

The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot.

Operational Modes

The digital imager scanner has three modes of operation:

•

Decode Mode

•

Snapshot Mode

•

Video Mode.

Decode Mode

By default, when you pull the trigger the digital imager scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The digital imager scanner remains in this mode as long as the trigger is pulled or until a bar code is decoded.

Snapshot Mode

Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host. To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this mode the digital imag er scanner blinks the green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.

In Snapshot Mode, the digital imager scanner turns on its laser aiming pattern to highlight the area to be captured in the image. The next trigger pull instructs the digital imager scanner to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may p ass (less than 2 seconds) betwee n when the trigger is p ulled and the image is captured as the digital imager scanner adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the digital imager scanner steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep.

If you do not press the trigger within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the digital imager scanner returns to Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 5-8 to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds.

To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern on page 5-9.

Imaging Preferences 5 - 5

Video Mode

In this mode the digital imager scanner behaves as a video camera as long as the trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, the digital imager scanner returns to Decode Mode . Scan this bar code to tempora rily enter Video Capture Mode.

Fixed Exposure

Parameter #: F4h F1h 37h

Type: Word Range: 5 - 5000

This parameter configures the exposure that is used in manual mode for both Decode and Snapshot/Video/Video viewfinder modes.

Each integer value represents 100 μs worth of exposure. The default value is 100 which result s in an exposure setting of 10 ms.

To set the Fixed Exposure parameter, scan Fixed Exposure below followed by four numeric bar codes representing the value. Leading zeros are r equire d. Fo r e xa mple, to set a Fixed Expo sure value o f 99, scan 0, 0, 9, 9. See Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes.

Fixed Gain

Parameter #: F1h 38h

Type: Byte Range 1 - 100

This parameter configures the gain setting used in manual mode for both Decode and Snapshot/Video/Video viewfinder modes.

A value of 1 indicates that gain is not used for image capture. A value of 100 indicates that maximum gain is used for image capture. The default value of this paramete r is 50.

To set the Fixed Gain parameter, scan Fixed Gain belo w followed by three numeric b ar codes representing the value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Gain value of 99, scan 0, 9, 9. See Appendix D,

Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes.

Fixed Gain

Gain / Exposure Priority for Snapshot Mode

Parameter # F1h, 32h

This parameter alters the digital imager scanner’s gain exposure priority when it acquires an image in Snapshot Mode in auto exposure mode.

•

Scan Low Exposure Priority to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner favors higher gain over exposure to capture an image. This results in an image that is less susceptible to motion blur at the expense of noise artifacts. However, for most applications, the amount of noise will be acceptable.

•

Scan Low Gain Priority to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner favors longer exposure time rather than higher gain to capture an image. This ensures that the image is less noisy and produces fewer artifacts during post processing activities like image enhancement (sharpening). The mode is recommended for use in fixed mount / fixed object image capture since the image acquired is susceptible to motion blur.

•

Scan Autodetect (default) to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner automatically selects Gain Priority or Low Exposure Priority mode for Snapshot Mode. If the digital imager scanner is in a magnetic read switch enabled stand (or it is configured in Blink Mode), it uses Low Gain Pr iority mo de. Othe rwise, it uses the Low Exposure Priority mode.

Software Handshaking

Parameter # 9Fh

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to that offered by hardware handshaking. Hardware handshaking is always enabled and cannot be disabled by the u ser.

• Disable ACK/NAK Handshaking: When this option is selected, the decoder neither generates nor expects ACK/NAK handshaking packets.

• Enable ACK/NAK Handshaking: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the digital imager scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. The digita l imager scanner also ACKs or NAKs messages from the host.

The digital imager scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Ti me-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the digital imager scanner does not get a r esponse in this time, it resends it s dat a up to two times before discarding the data and declaring a transmit error.

Host RTS Line State

Parameter # 9Ah

This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, the digital

imager scanner can be used in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication software on a host PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 6-8). If transmission errors occur in this mode, the host PC may be asserting hardware handshaking lines which interfere with the SSI protocol. Scan the Host: RTS High bar code to address this problem.

*Host: RTS Low

Host Serial Response Time-out

Parameter # 9Bh

This parameter specifies how long the decoder waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the deco der wants to send, and the host has already been granted permission to send, the decoder waits for the designated time-out before declaring an error.

To set the delay period (options are 2, 5, 7.5, or 9,9 seconds), scan one of the following bar codes.

Multipacket Option

Parameter # F0h, 4Eh

This parameter controls ACK/NAK handshaking for multi-packet transmissions.

• Multi-Packet Option 1: The host sends an ACK / NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet transmission.

• Multi-Packet Option 2: The digit al imager scanner sends dat a packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK handshaking to pace the transmission. The host, if overrun, can use hardware handshaking to temporarily delay digital imager scanner transmissions. At the end of transmission, the digital imager scanner waits for a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK.

• Multi-Packet Option 3: Option 3 is the same as option 2 with the addition of a programmable interpacket delay.
