AIM symbology identifiers
AIM symbology identifiers are optional 3-character code marks that have been standardized
by the AIM Committee.
AIM symbology identifiers are transmitted after the preamble if present and before the
barcode data.
Selecting AIM Transmitted automatically activates AIM symbology identifier
transmission for all symbologies.
M AIM symbology identifiers should only be activated for keyboard wedge and
RS-232 interfaces.
AIM Not Transmitted (*) AIM Transmitted
Identifier syntax
AIM symbology identifiers consist of 3 characters which provide the
following information:
• the character " ] " indicates that the input source type is a bar code,
• a letter (A, B, C, . . . ) identifies the symbology,
• a hexadecimal number identifies any special processing performed
by the ScanPlus.
Example If you select AIM Transmitted, a standard Code 39 code without check digit
and containing the string CODE-39 will be transmitted as follows:
]A0CODE-39

Compose interface number
Compose interface number
Which interface number?
To know which interface number to enter, check the following points
in the order shown:
1. Look to see if there is a suitable number in the Predefined interface
numbers section for your interface.
2. Look to see if your configuration is described in the ScanPlus
Terminal List (if available).
3. If you still do not know which number to enter, contact your UBI
representative.
Entering an interface number usually only modifies data transmission parameter settings
but in some special cases, other parameter settings (pushbutton activation, indicator
LED / beep settings, symbologies, etc.) may be modified for specific interface
configurations.
M Do not enter an interface number that is not compatible with the interface-
specific software and hardware configuration of your ScanPlus model—check the
ScanPlus Part Number if you do not know the interface for your model (Ð
Composing an interface number
Example To enter the number 102:
1. Scan Compose Interface Number on the next page.
2. Scan each digit of your interface number using the number codes—in our
example we would scan 1, then 0, then 2.
3. Scan End Selection to finish.

Concatenating configuration bar codes
Concatenating configuration bar codes
What is a configuration bar code?
All the configuration codes in this Reference Manual are Code 128
bar codes with a special terminator character—FNC3, data string
\60—to indicate that the code is a configuration code.
Why concatenate?
In order to configure the ScanPlus for a given installation, you may
need to read a number of configuration codes one after the other—and
you may need to do this for each ScanPlus you have to install and set
up.
Many of the configuration bar codes in this manual can be
concatenated (combined) to form a single custom bar code which
corresponds to your own particular setup configuration—you then
only need to read 1 or 2 concatenated codes instead of a whole series
of codes.
Limitations
Do not create concatenated codes wider than the maximum reading width of your
ScanPlus product (71 mm (2.80") for the ScanPlus SP for example).
If you need to create more than one code for a series of configuration codes, always
end each concatenated code with a complete configuration code—not a partial
code—and the FNC3 terminator.
You can not concatenate configuration codes that use the
numerical values.
Number codes
to compose
How to concatenate
1. Identify the list of codes you want to concatenate and the order of
concatenation—the codes should be concatenated in the same order as
you would read them individually.
Example
SP/XX/RM/10/E/960401 27
If you need to enter Reset Factory Defaults, put this code at the beginning.
Concatenating configuration bar codes
2. Obtain the data strings for the codes you want to concatenate
(Ð Parameter list / data strings).
Example For the following codes, you will obtain the following strings:
reset factory defaults \46\42\60
N° 201 AZERTY - French \41\4A\03\09\60

You can also obtain the data strings by putting the ScanPlus into Display Data String mode
and reading the configuration codes of your choice (Ð
strings
). However, the strings displayed include a check digit after the \60 end-of-code
character which you must also remove when you concatenate the codes.
3. Use the individual data strings to create a single data string and
remove the \60 end-of-code characters for each code except the last
code in the string.
Example For the codes listed in the previous example, you will obtain the following
concatenated string:

4. If necessary, convert the hexadecimal values and backslash separators
into suitable values for your barcode printing sofware (ASCII values
for example).
The data strings contain hexadecimal values separated by backslashes.
Make sure that the values you use with your software correspond to these values.
Example: Instead of the hexadecimal value \41, you may need to use the equivalent ASCII
character "A" (do not use the decimal value 41 !).

Data decoding security parameters
Data decoding security parameters
Description
Data decoding security parameters allow you to ensure that the
ScanPlus transmits the correct data after decoding, whatever the
reading conditions or quality of the bar codes read.
Predefined security levels
The Normal Security Level optimizes the reading speed for most
situations.
Only select Medium and High Security Levels when using poorquality bar codes or for critical applications.
The predefined security level parameters can be modified
individually.
Increasing the level of security reduces the reading speed.
Data security and barcode length
The reliability of the barcode data transmitted can depend on the
symbologies used—some symbologies are more "fragile" than others
and errors may occur due to incorrect interpretation of code lengths.
You can configure the ScanPlus to transmit data for codes of 1 or 2
fixed lengths only or codes with a known minimum length
(Ð Symbologies - Barcode length and data security).
If you use the Compose Minimum Length option, we recommend that you use a check digit
and the
same read result is obtained on 2 or more successive reads before the read is validated.

Data decoding security parameters
Consecutive same read data validation
By default, transmission occurs after a single successful read.
Single Read Before Transmission (*)
Compose number of consecutive same reads before transmission
To increase the reliability of the data transmitted, you can set the ScanPlus to validate the
data before transmission—it will only transmit data after a specified number of successful
consecutive reads have given the same result.
Consecutive same read data validation is useful when increased data security is required—
poorly printed codes, codes with variable lengths and without check digits, "fragile" barcode
types.
Increasing the number of consecutive same reads before transmission decreases the
decoding rate.
Compose Number of Consecutive Same Reads
Before Transmission (maximum = 10)
Example To make your ScanPlus read the same code successfully 5 times before it
can transmit it:
1. Scan Compose Number of Consecutive Same Reads.
2. Scan 5 then scan End Selection (Ð

Time-out between identical consecutive codes
By default, you can only read identical consecutive codes after a time-out between reads of

Compose timeout between identical consecutive codes
Increasing the timeout before you can read another identical code protects against
unwanted reading of the same bar code.
This time-out should not be shorter than the Timeout Between Different Consecutive
Codes.
Compose Timeout Between Identical Consecutive Codes
(maximum time-out = 2550 ms)
Example To make your ScanPlus wait 1 second (= 1000 ms) before it can read the

reading of other bar codes if they are close together on the same label.
This time-out should not be longer than the Timeout Between Identical Consecutive
Codes.

Interpreting and transmitting special keyboard keys
Different symbologies support different character formats. The ScanPlus transmission
format is different according to the symbologies used (Ð
and ScanPlus transmission format
).
Only symbologies supporting the full ASCII character set allow the
encoding of certain special keyboard keys such as <Return> and
<Tab>.
No symbologies support the encoding of other function keys such as
<PF1> and <PageDown>.
The Special keys interpretation codes provided below allow you to
interpret different Code 39 character combinations as special
keyboard keys.
Symbologies - Character formats
The Special keys transmission codes allow you to transmit certain
special keyboard keys directly as a single keyboard character instead
of a <Ctrl> character combination.
Example

Control Characters On transmits ASCII characters for decimal numbers 1 to 27 with the
sequence <Ctrl>
Control Characters Off transmits the following characters directly as single keyboard
characters—useful for applications that already use the control sequences as co mmands:
• ASCII character 8 transmitted as <Backspace> instead of <Ctrl> H
• ASCII character 9 transmitted as <Tab> instead of <Ctrl> I
• ASCII character 27 transmitted as <Escape> instead of <Ctrl> [

Alt mode transmission
Alt Mode On emulates the [<Alt>+
keyboards and can be used to transmit ASCII characters that are not available on the
keyboard corresponding to your interface number.
If you read bar codes containing such characters, you will be able to transmit the characters
if you select Alt Mode On. Only use Alt mode if necessary, as all characters will be
transmitted as <Alt> sequences and transmission will be slightly slower.

Laser emulation
Transmitted symbology type
In laser emulation, the ScanPlus can transmit data in the original barcode format or
converted into Code 39 format, provided that the bar codes contain characters that exist in
the Code 39 standard.
Transmission In Original Code (*) Transmission In Code 39
Example To transmit Code 128 bar codes in Code 128 format:
• Scan Transmission In Original Code.
To transmit Code 128 bar codes in Code 39 format:
