Chapter 1 The LS 3070 Cordless Scanner

The Freedom of Cordless Scanning

The LS 3070 is a revolutionary, cordless approach to capturing bar coded data. The scanner communicates with your host computer through a low-power radio transmission instead of through a cable. W ith the LS 3070, you are fr ee to scan and transmit without a physical cable to limit your movement, from as far away as 30 - 50 feet (9 - 15 meters), depending on your environment. This lets you take the scanner to where the work is, whether on the loading dock, the plant ﬂoor, the warehouse, or the POS checkout area.

The scanning system has three main components: the cordless scanner, the base/charger interface unit, and a cable to interface with the host device.

The LS 3070 Scanner

Housed in rugged, durable plastic, the LS 3070 scanner combines accurate, aggressive bar code scanning with solid state dependability. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable use for extended periods of time.

This scanner combines premium visible laser diode (VLD) scanning performance, reading color bar codes and symbols printed on all substrates, with advanced decode and RF transceiver capabilities.

The scanning element can be any of a wide variety of conﬁgurations:

•

Standard - for most Class II scanning applications, in which symbol

density (5 to 55 mil) and range (0 - 35 in.) fall within relatively normal ranges.

•

Long Range (LR) - for Class II applications with short range reading on

medium density symbols and long range reading on low density symbols.

•

Advanced Long Range (ALR) - for long range reading on medium and

low-density symbols, optimized by the increased power of the Class IIIA laser .

•

Extra Long Range (XLR) - for scanning ranges of up to 180 inches (457 cm)

on 55 mil symbols, also using a Class IIIA laser.

High Visibility (HV) - for scanning ranges up to 33 inches (86 cm) on 55

•

mil symbols, and ambient sunlight up to 10,000 ft. candles, using a Class IIIA laser.

Rechargeable Battery Pack

In the handle of the scanner, there is a rechargeable NiCad battery pack. This provides all power to the scanner during normal operation. It provides 360 mA hours, which is sufﬁcient for normal operation during an 8-hour shift.

When fully depleted, the battery module can be recharged to full charge within two hours, with the LS 3070 inserted into the RL 470 base/charger unit. Alternatively, the battery module can be recharged in the Universal Four-Slot Charger/Recharger within 8 hours.

The Base/Charger Unit

The base/charger unit has two primary functions. First, it is the

base station

interface that manages the ﬂow of information from the scanner to the host device. Second, it is a

charging stand

which charges the scanner’s battery module (located in the handle) and also holds the scanner securely when it is not in use. An LED indicates the status of battery charging.

Installation Tip — Optimizing RF Performance

The LS 3070 scanning system is equipped with a low power 2.4 Ghz radio. Depending on environmental conditions, the LS 3070 can have an RF transmission range of 30 - 50 feet (9 - 15 meters).

Where environmental objects affect RF range and performance, do the following when you install the LS 3070 scanning system. This will help assure peak performance.

2-1

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Setup

The RL 470 base station is a charger, host interface, and — signiﬁcantly — receiving station for RF transmission. Therefore, do not install the RL 470 inaccessibly under a table or buried in a desk drawer. At a minimum, mount the RL 470 on a table or desk top. For optimum RF performance, especially in difﬁcult environments, mount the RL 470 on a wall as high as possible. But keep in mind the limits of interface cable length and charging accessibility.

Proper base positioning gives you the best possible range and coverage performance from the LS 3070 cordless scanning system.

Inserting the Scanner Into and Removing Scanner from Base/Charger

To insert the scanner into the base/charger:

1. First, place the nose to the scanner into the large rectangular receptacle of the base/charger.

2. Then place the scanner handle into the opening of the smaller, latched receptacle and press down ﬁrmly until the bottom of the handle seats snugly into the receptacle and engages the latch.

Caution

Use of excessive force in placing the scanner into the base can damage the charging contacts on the shoe of the scanner or in the receptacle of the base. Such damage can interfere with or prevent charging of the scanner’s batteries by the base

3. To remove the scanner from the base/charger, grasp the handle of the scanner and lift the bottom of the handle out of the latched receptacle, thereby freeing the scanner from the base.

Pairing the Scanner with the Base/Charger

The wireless “connection” between the two is the low power radio transmission through RF transceivers in the both the scanner and base/ charger. The actual communication consists of bidirectional message packets. However, to work between the two devices.

Assigning Address to Base/Charger

First, the base/charger must be assigned an address, with a value between 01 and 7E.

for this communication

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Setup

Note:

When setting the address of the base, you automatically set the initial frequency on which the base and the scanner communicate. In order to minimize possible interference between systems, bases which are close to each other should be assigned sequential addresses.

Set the address through setting two rotary dials, located by opening a panel on the base/charger’s underside. Turn the base/charger upside down, open the panel, and notice two rotary dials.

Setting T ransmission Frequency

Each scanner/base pair communicates on one of a number of channel frequencies, which varies by country. In most countries, there are 80 available channels (numbered 2 through 81); in France, there are only 9 channeles (numbered 46 through 54).

The initial transmission frequency is determined by the base’s unique address, so neighboring LS 3070 systems operate on different channels. This allows them to transmit simultaneously without interfering with each other . Channel separation is optimal between sequential base addresses, so base units closest to each other should be assigned sequential base addresses if possible. (Note that data is transmitted between a scanner and base so quickly that a number of different LS 3070 systems can normally operate on the same channel without noticeable interference.)

2-6

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Setup

Occasionally, there can be excessive interference on a channel from some other source of radio transmissions. In this case, the default channel of a system can be changed using the parameter codes for

Set Transmission Frequency. If you ﬁnd a particular scanner/base pair has trouble communicating over a normal operating distance, try setting different transmission frequencies to see if performance improves. (The LS 3070 system changes channels automatically if it encounters interference as much as 80% of the time over a continuous 5minute period.)

Note: To set trasmission frequency correctly, be sure to

use the correct Select Channel Number bar code for your country, and to set a channel within the allowable range.

Installing a Magstripe Reader

If desired, install a magstripe reader. This may be done before or after pairing.

1. Remove the blank plug in the magstripe connection port on the base/

charger, and then plug the magstripe reader’s cable into this port, as illustrated below.

2. The purpose of the blank plug is to protect the base/charger from

accidental damage that can be caused by static electrical discharge into the magstripe connection port. Keep this plug in the port whenever the magstripe reader is not connected.

Chapter 3 Scanning with the LS 3070

1. Ready

Before starting to scan bar codes for data collection, make sure:

• The base station is connected to the host device.

• The battery has been charged.

• The scanner is paired with the base/charger.

2. Test

Aim the scanner toward a bar code and press the trigger. When you press the trigger, the scanning beam is energized.

3. Scan

Make sure the symbol you want to scan is within the proper scanning range. (See Decode Zones beginning on page 3-6.)

Aim and press the trigger.

• The scan beam and red SCAN LED will light for about 3 seconds, or until

a successful decode.

The scanner has read the symbol when:

• You hear a beep.

• The green DECODE LED lights.

The LED stays green for up to one second if the trigger is down or disappears if you release the trigger. The scanner powers down after a successful decode.

3-1

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Scanning with the LS 3070

If the scanning attempt ends in 4 error beeps, any of these may be true:

• Scanner is out of transmission range

• Scanner and base/charger are not paired

• Base/charger is not powered.

Hold at an Angle

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode.

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.

Scanning Transmission Range

RF Communication Errors

RF communication errors occur when the scanner is out of range from the base during a scan data transmission attempt. An error is indicated by 6 beeps after a bar code is scanned, although the bar code data appears on the host display.

This happens when the base receives the bar code data but the scanner did NOT get the HIF response from the base, and therefore timed out.

The base reported an RF communication error because the NOMAD protocol was not completed before timeout, however, transmitted the bar code data to the host. Since the data has been sent, normal communications must be reestablished.

Restoring Normal RF Communications

Move the scanner closer to the base station so the transceivers can communicate with each other better. Then re-scan the bar code. The scanner sounds a good decode beep but the base does not display the bar code data, because the data was already transmitted on the previous scan.

Resume normal scanning.

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Scanning with the LS 3070

What If ...

Nothing happens when you follow the operating instructions?

You should

• Check that the power supply is attached to the base/charger.

• Check for loose cable connections at the base/charger and host device.

• Check the scanner’s battery pack.

• Make sure the device is programmed to read the type of bar code you

want to scan.

• Check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced.

• Try scanning similar symbols of the same code type.

• Check that the gas tank is not exhausted.*

• Make sure the scanner and base/charger have been successfully paired.

• Be sure you’re within the proper scanning and transmission range.

If you get frequent Transmit Errors (error beeps after decode):

• Check that you are within scanning transmit range. (See Scanning

Transmission Range on page 3-4.)

• Check that the scanner is successfully paired with the base/charger.

• Check that the base/charger is powered up and that its cable connections

are secure.

Note: If after performing these checks the symbol still

does not scan, contact your distributor or call the Symbol Support Center . See Symbol Support Center

on page About-ii for the telephone number.

* The gas tank limits the amount of time the laser remains on within a given period to conform to the requirements of speciﬁc laser output classiﬁcations.

Chapter 4 Maintenance and Speciﬁcations

Maintenance

Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may affect scanning accuracy.

• Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.

• Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.

• Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with ammonia/water.

• Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the window.

Recharging the Battery

As a charging stand, the base/charger rechar ges batteries in the scanner when the scanner is in the cradle. The status of the scanner battery module determines the charge rate. If the battery module is at full charge, the base/ charger supplies a trickle charge. If the battery module is at less than full charge, there is a programmed charge. Note that the scanner can be removed from the base/charger at any time.

When necessary, recharge the batteries. To do so:

• Connect the power supply to the power input port on the front panel of

the RL 470 base/charger, as illustrated below.

• Connect the power supply to a receptacle supplying AC power of the

proper voltage level.

• Then place the scanner into the base/charger cradle, so that the nose of

the scanner and tip of the handle ﬁt snugly into the receptacles. Check the charge status indicator (blinking = fully charged) for full charge, which occurs within two hours. However, the scanner can be used on less than full charge.

Note: Connector position 1 of the mating pair is keyed.

7. Locate connector P2 on the K8 T-boar d; it is the top connector on the board. Mate P2 with the ribbon connector marked I/O P7. Be sure the ribbon connector label I/O P7 faces up. Also be sure the left and right edges of the two connectors line up. This check is very important, as the connectors are not keyed.

8. Mate the RL 470 base station cable “Y” branch ending in a 2X6 female boxtype connector to P1 on the T-boar d (p/n 21-03428-01). Connector P1 is the middle connector on the T-board.

Note: The connector position 1 of the mating pair is

keyed.

9. If J3 on the processor board had a cable mating to it, that cable must now mate with connector P2 on the T-board (p/n 21-03428-01).

Note: The cable must have the same orientation it had

when removed from J3 on the processor board. If no cable was mating with J3, then P2 on the T-board (p/n 21-03428-01) is left unconnected.

10. Carefully slide the board assembly to its original position in the card slide. Then return the card slide to its retracted position. Check that all cables mating to the board assemblies are still ﬁrmly seated in position.

11. Locate the supplied cable fastener hardware. Using the hardware, secure the RL 470 base station cable to one of the cable fastening posts located at the bottom front edge of the terminal housing. Replace the grille removed at the beginning of this procedure. The RL 470 base station cable should be positioned so that it ﬁts through a slot located at the bottom of the grille.

You can now attach your scanner and peripheral devices.

Chapter 6 Programming

Programming Overview

Before programming, follow the instructions in the Chapter 2: Setup and Chapter

5: Interface Guide.

Programming occurs through use of bar code menus. Not all parameters, however, apply to your speciﬁc host. For example, if you have an OCIA terminal, RS-232C parameters such as baud rate and parity will not apply. Simply ignore those parameters not designed for your application. If you're not sure which parameters apply, refer to the Parameter Selections on page 6-21 for your speciﬁc terminal type.

The ﬁrst section of this chapter, Parameter Descriptions beginning on page 6-3, deﬁnes parameters and the bar codes necessary to set those parameters.

T o customize data for your speciﬁc needs, see the Advanced Programmer’ s Guide. Consult the Parameter Descriptions beginning on page 6-3 for explanations of

parameter types; Parameter Selections beginning on page 6-21 shows the available parameters for various terminal types.

If the default values suit your requirements, all you need to do is scan the SET DEFAULT bar code. Parameters other than default values can be set by scanning sequences of bar codes. Chapter 7: Parameter Menus contain all the bar codes necessary to program the scanner for each parameter selection.

6-1

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases you need only scan one bar code to set a speciﬁc parameter. For example, if you want to set the baud rate to 9600, simply scan the 9600 bar code listed under Baud Rate. The base station will issue a warble tone, signifying a successful parameter entry.

If you want to add or change preﬁxes and sufﬁxes or customize the data transmission format, you will have to scan several bar codes. This procedure is

described in Parameter Descriptions beginning on page 6-3.

Errors While Scanning

Don't worry if you make an error during a scanning sequence. Merely reenter the correct parameter.

6-2

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Parameter Descriptions

Set Parameter Defaults

Scanning the SET DEFAULT bar code returns all parameters to the values listed in the Default Table beginning on page 6-28.

Host Interface Code

Each Interface Cable Assembly defaults to a given host. These assemblies, their corresponding defaults, and additional bar codes begin in Chapter 7: Parameter

Menus. In some cases, two bar codes may correspond to one interface type; this happens

when different software revisions exist for the same host type. If ther e are two bar codes for your host type, try the ﬁrst bar code; if that does not work, then try the second one.

Code T ypes

The bar code menu selections enable the scanner to decode any or all of the

following symbologies.

• UPC Versions A and E (EAN 8 and 13) • Codabar

• Code 39 • Code 39 Full ASCII

• Discrete 2 of 5 • Interleaved 2 of 5

• Code 128 • MSI Plessey

• EAN 128

The scanner will autodiscriminate between all of the above symbologies, except for Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.

Code Lengths

Code lengths for certain code type (i.e., Code 39, Codabar, etc.) may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a speciﬁc range. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters) the code contains.

Length Within Range - This option allows you to decode a code type within a speciﬁed range. For example to decode Code 39 characters containing between 4 and 12 characters, ﬁrst scan Code 39 Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1 and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero).

6-3

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

One Discrete Length - This option will allow you to decode only those codes containing a selected length. For example, if you select D 2 of 5 One Discrete Length, then scan 1, 4, the only D 2 of 5 codes decoded will be those containing 14 characters

T wo Discrete Lengths - This option will allow you to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example, if you select D 2 of 5 Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, 4, the only D 2 of 5 codes decoded will be those containing 2 or 14 characters.

Any Length - Scanning this option allows you to decode the selected code type containing any number of characters. For example, if you scan Codabar Any Length, you will be able to decode a Codabar symbol containing any number of characters.

Code 39 Full ASCII

The ASCII character set assigns a code for letters, punctuation marks, numerals, and most control keystrokes on the keyboard.

The ﬁrst 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to keyboard control characters such as BACKSPACE and RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all but SPACE and DELETE produce visible characters.

Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code control character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 symbol and assigns an ASCII character value. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it will be interpreted as b, %J as ?, and $H emulates the keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning ABC$M will output the keystroke equivalent of ABC ENTER.

The LS 3070 will not autodiscriminate between Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.

6-4

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Decode Options

Transmit UPC-E/UPC-A Check Digit

Select if decoded UPC symbols are transmitted with or without a check digit.

Convert UPC-E To UPC-A

Use this parameter to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPCA format before transmission. After conversion, data will follow UPC format and be affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit).

Ean Zero Extend

This parameter adds ﬁve leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols.

Xmit “No Decode” Message

This feature gives you the option to transmit “NR” when a symbol does not

decode. Preﬁxes and sufﬁxes enabled will be appended around this message.

Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental

Select whether UPC/EAN is decoded with or without supplemental characters. Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5) according to speciﬁc code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+2).

If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters is selected, UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental characters won't be decoded. If UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is selected and the scanner is presented with a UPC/ EAN plus supplemental symbol, the UPC/EAN will be decoded and the supplemental characters ignored.

If autodiscrimination is chosen, the LS 3070 will, after additional processing to ensure a good decode, transmit either . (NOTE: T o minimize the risk of invalid

data transmission, it is recommended that you select whether to read or ignore supplemental characters.)

6-5

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Code 39 Check Digit

When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of a Code 39 symbol to ensure it complies with a modulo 43 check digit algorithm.

ITF-14/EAN-13 Conversion

If your terminal supports EAN-13, this feature converts a 14 character I 2 of 5 code into EAN-13, and transmits to the host as EAN-13. In order to accomplish this, the I 2 of 5 code must be enabled, one length (either LENGTH 1 or LENGTH 2) must be set to 14, the code must have a leading zero and a valid EAN-13 check digit.

Bi-Directional Redundancy for Codabar

This parameter applies only to Codabar symbols. When enabled, the bar code must be decoded in both directions to be considered good.

MSI Plessey Check Digit

One or two digits at the end of the bar code that check the integrity of the data. At least one check digit (default) is always required. Check digits are not transmitted with the data.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)

When you select the scan and store option, all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a ﬁrst character are temporarily buffered in the unit to be transmitted later. The leading space is not buffered.

Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission in sequence of all buffered data in a ﬁrst-in ﬁrst-out format, plus transmission of the “triggering” symbol. See Code 39 Buffering beginning on page 6-26 for further details.

When the scan and transmit option is selected, decoded Code 39 symbols without leading spaces are transmitted without being stored in the buffer.

Scan and Store affects Code 39 decodes only. If you select scan and store, it is recommended that you conﬁgure the scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.

6-6

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Beeper V olume

Select degree of volume — high or low.

Beep After Good Decode

Determine if the unit beeper will sound during normal scanning. Usually it is

desirable to operate the unit with the beeper enabled. In all cases, the beeper operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions. See

Beeper Deﬁnitions beginning on page 6-24.

UPC/EAN Security Level

The LS 3070 offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.

• Security Level 0 - This is the default setting which allows the scanner to

operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufﬁcient security in decoding “in spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.

• Security Level 1 - As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters

become prone to mis-decodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.

• Security Level 2 - If you are experiencing mis-decodes of poorly printed

bar codes, and the mis-decodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7 and 8, select this security level.

• Security Level 3 - If you have tried Security Level 2, and are still

experiencing mis-decodes, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level will signiﬁcantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner.

6-7

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Decode Redundancy

Use this parameter to indicate whether the scanner must read a bar code one time (LEVEL 1), two times (LEVEL 2), or three times (LEVEL 3) before decoding it. A higher level of redundancy ensures the accuracy of a decode in, for example, poor quality symbols.

UPC-A and -E Preamble

Three options are given for the lead-in characters of decoded UPC-A or UPCE symbols transmitted to the host device. Select one preamble for UPC-A decodes and one for UPC-E decodes. These lead-in characters are considered part of the symbol itself. The three options are:

• a system character only

• the country code and system character

• no preamble

The system character is the digit printed to the extreme left of a UPC symbol. The country code for UPC is always zero, and it cannot be transmitted without the system character.

Pause Duration

This parameter , used in data editing, allows a pause to be inserted at any point in the data transmission. Pauses are set by scanning a two digit number (i.e., two bar codes), and are measured in 1/10 second intervals. For example, scanning bar codes “0” and “1” will insert a 1/10 second pause; “0” and “5” will give you a 1/2 second delay.

Preﬁx/Sufﬁx V alues

A preﬁx/sufﬁx may be appended to scan and magstripe data, for use in data editing. These values are set by scanning a four digit number (i.e., four bar codes) that correspond to keycodes for various terminals. See the ASCII Table

beginning on page 8-1.

RS-232C Options

Baud Rate

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. The scanner's baud rate setting should match the data rate setting of the host device. If not, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.

Parity

A parity check bit is the most signiﬁcant bit of each ASCII coded character. If you select ODD parity, the parity bit will have a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.

If you select EVEN parity, the parity bit will have a value 0 or 1, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. Select MARK parity and the parity bit will always be 1. Select SPACE parity and the parity bit is always 0. Select the parity type according to host device requirements.

Check Parity

Select whether or not the parity of received characters is checked. The type of parity can be selected with the PARITY parameter.

Hardware Handshaking

Hardware handshaking allows you to check the readiness of the receiving device before data is transmitted. If the receiving device is periodically occupied with other tasks, hardware handshaking is needed to prevent loss of transmitted data. Hardware handshaking may not be used in conjunction with software handshaking. Refer to the ﬂowchart on the following page.

RS-232C communications are designed to operate either with or without hardware handshaking lines, RTS, Request to Send, and CTS, Clear to Send.

If RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted with the following sequence: (Note that the DTR signal is hardwired active.)

• The base station reads the CTS line for activity . If CTS is asserted, the base

will wait up to one second for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after one second the CTS line is still asserted, the base will sound a transmit error and any scanned data will be lost.

6-11

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

• When the CTS line is negated, the base asserts the RTS line and waits for

one second for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted.

• When data transmission is complete, the base will negate RTS 10 msec

after sending the last character.

• The host should respond by negating CTS. The base will check for a

negated CTS upon the next transmission of data.

During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted.

• If the above communications sequence should fail, the base station will

issue a transmit error. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.

Select whether the scan data is to be transmitted as soon as it is available or whether transmission follows the RTS/CTS procedure.

Software Handshaking

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process. It may be used instead of, but not in conjunction with, hardware handshaking. The base station also provides four software handshaking options: NONE, ENQ, ACK/ NAK, and ACK/NAK with ENQ. These options may be combined, for example ACK/NAK with ENQ. Refer to the chart following the parameter description.

No Software Handshaking ACK/NAK Only

The ACK/NAK option checks the success or failure of transmission. The base station expects one of the following host responses after a data transmission:

• <ACK> - Acknowledges a valid and successful transmission.

• <NAK> - Indicates a problem with the transmission.

Whenever a <NAK> is received, the unit retransmits the same data and awaits an ACK/NAK response. After three unsuccessful attempts to transmit the same data, the base aborts any further communication attempts on that message. Transmission error is indicated by the unit sounding 4 short beeps.

When no response for the duration of the serial response time-out parameter (default 2 seconds), or a NAK is received, the base station will retransmit the data until an ACK is received, or the third transmit failure. After three unsuccessful transmission attempts, the unit will abort any further communication attempts on the current message. It indicates this by sounding 4 long (1 second) beeps.

ENQ ONLY

The ENQ option needs the host to request data before it is transmitted to the host. This ensures that data transmission occurs only when the host is ready to receive.

6-13

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

When you select the wait for ENQ option, the base station waits for an ENQ, Enquire character, from the host before it transmits data; otherwise the unit transmits data without waiting for an ENQ character from the host. W ith ENQ enabled, the base station must receive an ENQ from the host within a 2 second period after the last activity or 4 short beeps are sounded to indicate a transmission error; the unit is now ready to scan again.

ACK/NAK with ENQ

This combines both handshaking options.

Serial Response Timeout

This parameter determines the maximum period allowed to elapse before the base station assumes end of transmission. The delay period can range from 0 to

9.9 seconds.

Stop Bit Select

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits (one or two) selected depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

ASCII Format

When enabled, this parameter transmits data in an 8-bit ASCII format. This allows the base station to interface with devices requiring that protocol. The

default is 7-bit ASCII.

RTS Line State

In order to transmit, some hosts expect the RTS line to be in a certain state (High or Low) when there is no hardware handshaking. This parameter will adjust the RTS Line State.

6-15

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Intercharacter Delay

Select the intercharacter delay option matching host device requirements. The intercharacter delay gives the host system time to service its receiver and perform other tasks between characters. Select from no delay to a 99 msec delay between the transmission of each character.

Transmit Code ID Character

A code ID character identiﬁes the code type of a scanned bar code. This may be useful when the scanner is decoding more than one code type. If a preﬁx is

selected, the code ID character is sent after the preﬁx. Code ID characters are: A = UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, or EAN-8; B - Code 39; C = Codabar; D = Code 128; F = Interleaved 2 of 5; G = Discrete 2 of 5.

Enabling this parameter, with the Transmit Code ID Character parameter enabled allows you to send the AIM code identifer in lieu of the Symbol identiﬁers listed above. The identiﬁer will be sent as a three character preﬁx, in accordance with AIM speciﬁcations for symbology identiﬁers. See AIM’s Guidelines on Symbology Identiﬁers for full details.

Ignore Unknown Characters

When enabled, all data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps are sounded. Unknown characters are those characters the selected terminal does not recognize.

When disabled, all data containing one or more unknown characters is discarded, and error beeps are sounded.

OCIA Clock Polarity

Selects the appropriate clock edge values so that a host terminal with non-

standard OCIA format can recognize the clock signal phase synchronized with data.

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

OCIA T ransmit Timeout

When connected to an OCIA terminal, the RL 470 base/interface will attempt to transmit the data to the host. If the host is not prepared to accept data at that time (i.e., the host data buffer may be full), the RL 470 will try to r etransmit the data for up to 3 seconds. If transmission is not successful, the data will be discarded, and the RL 470 will issue a transmission error.

This parameter allows you to increase the time the RL 470 will attempt transmission before discarding the data. You can select up to a 30 second delay in one second increments. During the time the RL 470 is attempting to transmit data, no new data can be scanned.

NCR 2152 Fast Transmit

Selects the data transmission speed to the NCR 2152 POS terminal. Depending on the version of NCR 2152, selecting this option may increase the possibility of lost or mis-transmitted data.

IBM 4683/93 Magstripe Communications

The RL 470 base/interface communicates with the IBM 4683/84/4693/94 as a scanner device, and also as a magstripe reader device. The RL 470/IBM 4683/ 93 magstripe communications can be enabled and disabled via this parameter . If the RL 470 magstripe capability is needed, this parameter should be enabled. If not, it should be disabled to avoid contention with any other magstripe reader which may be connected to the host.

International Keypad Emulation

This parameter is supported by IBM AT/XT/PS2 terminals only . The layout of some international keyboards differ from that of American keyboar ds. T o send a given character, regardless of its physical location on the keyboard, enable this parameter.

International Keypad Emulation Fast Transmit

This parameter is used when International Keypad Emulation is enabled. Some IBM AT/XT/PS2s allow for faster transmission. With this parameter enabled, the RL 470 transmits at a faster rate. Not all IBM A T/XT/PS2s support a faster transmission rate.

Set T ransmission Frequency

Use this parameter to set an initial transmission frequency to avoid interference on the default channel (channel 50). During operation, the transmission channel changes automatically whenever interference is encountered 80% of the time or more over a continuous ﬁve-minute period. The selected frequency channel must be between 01 and 82.

Wait for Host Interface Response Time

The wait for host interface response timeout is the amount of time it takes for the base to communicate with the host interface and the base to send an acknowledgment back to the scanner . The amount of time required varies with the host device.

Based on the installed interface type, the scanning system automatically calculates a wait or timeout duration for host response. Under normal operating

conditions, there should be no need to program a wait for host response timeout value. However, use this parameter when the interface’s data stream carries an additional

ADF pause duration. The more pause duration added to the data stream, the

longer the wait for host response timeout needs to be. T ypically, most interfaces timeout in an average of three seconds. If a pause duration is added, this may cause RF communications errors (6 beeps); increase the host wait response timeout to eliminate RF communication errors. Just start by programming at least a 5-second timeout. If errors continue, increment the wait for host response timeout until the RF communications errors stop occurring.

Wait for host response timeout values vary from 1 second to 99 seconds. After scanning the Wait for Host Interface Response Time bar code, scan two number keypad bar codes for the two-digit response time (in seconds). If you program a value of zero, there will be an automatic calculation of the host wait response timeout value, based on the selected host interface type.

Code 39 Buffering

While there is data in the transmission buffer, deleting Code 39 buffering capability via the parameter menu is not allowed.

T o allow disabling of Code 39 buf fering, ﬁrst force the buf fer transmission (see

Transmit Buffer on page 6-27) or clear the buffer.

Buffer Data

To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled, and a symbol must be read with a space immediately following the start pattern.

• Unless symbol overﬂows the transmission buffer, unit gives hi/lo beep to

indicate successful decode and buffering. See Overﬁlling Transmission

Buffer on page 6-27.

• Unit adds the message, excluding the leading space to the transmission

buffer.

• No transmission will occur.

Clear T ransmission Buffer

To clear the transmission buffer, read a symbol which contains only a start

character, a dash (minus), and a stop character.

• Unit issues a short hi/lo/hi beep to signal that the transmission buffer has

been erased, and no transmission has occurred.

• Unit erases the transmission buffer.

• No transmission will occur.

6-26

LS 3070 Product Reference Guide: Programming

Transmit Buffer

To transmit the buffer, read a symbol containing either the ﬁrst or second condition:

1. Only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character.

• The unit signals that the transmission buffer has been sent (a hi/lo beep).

• Unit sends the buffer.

• Unit clears the buffer.

2. A Code 39 bar code with leading character other than a space.

• The unit signals a good decode and buffering of that decode has occurred

by giving a hi/lo beep.

• Unit transmits the buffer.

• Unit signals that the buffer has been transmitted with a lo/hi beep.

Overﬁlling T ransmission Buffer

If the symbol just read will result in an overﬂow of the transmission buffer:

• Unit indicates that the symbol has been rejected by issuing three long,

high beeps.

• No transmission will occur. Data in buffer is not affected.

Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer

If the symbol just read was the transmit buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty:

• A short lo/hi/lo beep signals that the buffer is empty.

• No transmission occurs.

• The buffer remains empty.
