Programming
3-1 Example 1: Single-parameter setting by scanning 1D barcodes
Important notes:
1. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness.
LED will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed.
2. After each successful programming, LED will go off and the scanner will beep twice.
3. Throughout the programming barcode menus, the factory default settings are indicated with
asterisks (*).
Two programming modes have been provided as bellows:
❶ Single-scan setting
Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting (e.g. %0101D00%) according to the user‘s
demand.
Example: to set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Scan the following barcode.
❷ Multiple-scan setting
Step 1. Scan the Option barcode barcode (e.g. %0101M%) according to the user‘s
demand.
Step 2. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed.
Scan two alphanumeric entries from 0 to 9 or A to F, refer to 10 Configuration alphanumeric
entry barcode.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2, if more user parameters input are required.
Step 4. Scan the %END% barcode, listed on the lower left hand corner of each parameter
setting part.
Example: to set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Referring to 3-5 RS-232 interface, scan the following barcodes in order.

3-2 Example
2: Multiple-parameter setting by scanning a QR code barcode
User can customize a QR code barcode to set multiple parameters. The scanner can set multiple
parameters by scanning this single QR code barcode.
1. The data format of the QR code barcode is as following.
% Parameter set 1 % Parameter set 2 % Parameter set N %
<Option barcode index><D/H><Alpha. entries>
···
Note that:
<Option barcode index> means the corresponding 4 digits of Option barcode.
<D/H> means “D” or “H” character. D means that the type of alphanumeric entry is decimal; and
H means that the type of alphanumeric entry is hexadecimal.
<Alpha. entries> is a character string with various length of 2, 4, or other values.
Example: Set 0401->03 (decimal); 8002->0D0A (hexadecimal); 8202->01 (decimal). The
customized QR code barcode contents and symbol are as following.
%0401D03%8002H0D0A%8202D01%
2. Notes of making QR code barcode
The model is chosen as M2. Other requirements, e.g. ECC level, Start mode, etc, are not
specified.
Other notes:
The contents of a QR code barcode can include several same <Option barcode index>
associated with same or different <Alpha. entries>. In the case of with different <Alpha. entries>,
the latest <Alpha. entries> is the valid one.
If any one of the parameter settings is invalid, the total setting is failed. The invalid setting can
be caused by one of the following problems: invalid <Option barcode index>, invalid type of
<D/H>, invalid type, length or value range of <Alpha. entries>, etc.

3-3 Operate
the scanner by receiving command via UART
Note:
1- The information in this chapter is provided for the scanner with RS232 cable or USB cable.
2- If the scanner is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual
COM”. Please refer to 3-6 USB interface.
3- Please read 3-7 Scan mode & some global settings about the setting of Scan mode in details.
UART parameter should be set as below:
(1) Baud rate: 9600 bps;
(2) Data bits: 8 bits;
(3) Stop bit: 1 bit;
(4) Parity check bit: None;
(5) Flow control: None.
Guide of control command: all commands are sent by UART
1) Start command: “0x54” (T)
When the scanner received the above command, it will start barcode scanning following the setting
of Scan mode. If the scanner is in the mode of “Auto-detection”, the scanner will have a single
scan, then returns to “Auto-detection” mode.
2) Stop command: “0x50” (P)
If the Scan mode is set as “Alternate continue” or “Continue”, and the scanner received the above
command, it will stop barcode scanning and act as in an idle mode.
3) Restart command: “0x35” (R)
Once the scanner received the above command, it will restart.
Returning message from the scanner
1) A successful decode
Once the scanner successfully decoded a barcode, the scanner will stop scanning and returns
the barcode data to the Host.
2) Not a successful decode
Once the scanner failed to decode a barcode before stopping scanning, the scanner will return a
message to the Host. The message is set as “0x25, 0x25, 0x4E, 0x6F, 0x52, 0x65, 0x61, 0x64”
(%%NoRead).

interface
Host type:
Standard- The scanner is connected to a standard RS-232 interface.
OPOS/JPOS- The scanner is connected to a POS terminal which may be necessary to install
the OPOS/JPOS driver to be compatible with the manufacturer's scanner. The OPOS/JPOS
driver is provided by the scanner manufacturer; please contact the scanner manufacturer for the
instruction.
Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS- If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS
signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data
communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout
duration, the scanner will issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle:
High RTS), the scanner can be set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
XON/XOFF- An XOFF (0x13) character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner
receives an XON (0x11) character.
ACK/NAK- After transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge, 0x06) or
NAK (not acknowledge, 0x15) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner
transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful
attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and
discards the data.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the scanner when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.

is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present
barcode must be removed to enable Auto-detection.
Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the
scanner must move away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same
barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to
confirm a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range
of decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than
the maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In
particular, the same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the
fixed length barcode decoded.
Notes:
1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.
3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-
13, EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G4 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By
setting one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to 3-38
G1-G6 & C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting and 3-39 G1-G4 string position & Code ID
position.
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.

All valid settings
include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 40, 41, 42, 43,
and 44.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and
spaces in different scale.
Character output restraint:
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable
characters only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the
alphanumeric characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction.
This function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the
scanner can store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the
predefined delay elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is
set to be “00”, the scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner
will output data after stopping scanning.
Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each
character from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the
ASCII and Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters (e.g. domestic
language), it maybe because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding
system that is different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the
proper one.
Complete data output before next decode attempt: This setting is active only when USB device
type is set as “HID keyboard” or “HID keyboard for Apple Mac”, refer to 3-6 USB interface. If it is
enabled, the scanner will not start next decode attempt until previous data output is completed.

symbols & Structured append symbols read setting
2D symbols read: A global setting of 2D symbols readability.
Multiple symbols & structured append symbols read:
1) By setting Enable, the scanner allows to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner's
trigger. If the user pulls and holds the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads
unique symbols once, beeping for each success read. The scanner attempts to find and decode
new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled.
2) By setting Enable, the scanner will output data only when all Structured Append symbols have
been decoded. The lower part of below figure shows an example of four Structured Append
symbols, with the same data as that in the upper symbol.
3) By setting Disable, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
Single symbol (above) and Structured Append series of symbols (below) encoding
“ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”
Vertical centering read: By setting Enable, the scanner reads only the barcode centered by the
aimer in vertical direction. However, the scanner will read either one of two barcodes which are
positioned horizontally. See example below.

Format of barcode data transmission:
Prefix
Code name
Preamble
Code ID
Code length
Code data
Code ID
Postamble
Suffix
Prefix transmission: By setting Enable, prefix will be appended before the data transmitted.
Suffix transmission: By setting Enable, suffix will be appended after the data is transmitted.
Code name transmission: By setting Enable, code name will be transmitted before code data.
Preamble transmission: By setting Enable, preamble will be appended before the data
transmitted.
Postamble transmission: By setting Enable, postamble will be appended after the data is
transmitted.
Code ID transmission: Code ID can be transmitted in the format of either Proprietary ID or AIM
ID. Refer to 1-2 Default setting for each barcode.
Code length transmission: The length of code data string can be transmitted before the code
data when Enable is selected. The length is represented by a number with two digits.
Case conversion: The characters within code data or the whole output string can be set in either
upper case or lower case.
FN1 substitution transmission: The scanner supports a FN1 substitution feature for USB and
RS-232 interface. The replacement string of FN1 can be chosen by user (see 3-38 G1-G6 & C1-C3
& FN1 substitution string setting).
All-non-printable-character string transmission with string setting: By setting enable, all
string settings, e.g. Preamble transmission or Insert G1 string setting, are active for an all-nonprintable-character string. Here a non-printable character means a character with ASCII value
between 0x00 to 0x1F.
Transmit the first N data characters only: The scanner supports to only transmit the first N data
characters of a barcode. The number of N can be set as a digit between 1 and 99.
Transmit the last N data characters only: The scanner supports to only transmit the last N data
characters of a barcode. The number of N can be set as a digit between 1 and 99.

Maintenance
Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may affect scanning
accuracy.
1. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.
2. Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.
3. Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with water.
4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the window.
5. Use a piece of soft and dry cloth when cleaning the scanner.

5 Barcode
representing non-printable character
Notes to make the following barcode:
1. According to different barcode printing software, the method of printing following barcode is different.
2. If using CODESOFT software, firstly read the information through “Help→Index→Code128→Special input
syntax”. Also refer to ASCII table. For example, if we wish to make “F1” barcode, select “code128”, then
select “CODE A” type, and input “{DOC1}” as data.
