Overview

The MS837 has been factory configured with a set of default parameters. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, the MS837 provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using the programming bar codes included in this reference guide. Once the configuration is completed, the MS837 stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is off.

Note: Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that is a factory

default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the Multi-Code configuration method.

using the CodeGate® option.

Single-Code Method

Most features can be enabled or disabled using the Single-Code Method.

1. Power-up the scanner.

2. Scan the bar code for the desired feature.

3. The scanner will emit a multi-toned beep to indicate the configuration has been saved to NOVRAM.

Multi-Code Method

All features can be enabled or disabled using the Multi-Code Method. A feature marked with a tilde ( ~ ) requires the Multi-Code Method.

1. Power-up the scanner.

2. Scan the enter/exit configuration mode bar code (3 beeps).

3. Scan the bar code for the desired feature (1 beep). Multiple features can be enabled/disabled before scanning the enter/exit configuration mode bar code.

4. Scan the enter/exit configuration mode bar code (3 beeps) and save the new configuration. To abort a configuration change, power off the scanner before scanning the enter/exit code.

Enter/Exit Configuration Mode

Need To Start Over?

Configuration Mode

Enable ISBT Code 128

Disable ISBT Code 128

The bar codes below enable or disable a special transmit mode as outlined in section 3.5.2 of the ISBT-128 Specification. This output method allows the user to confirm independently the accuracy of the Code-128 check digit.

Enable ISBT Special Transmit

Disable ISBT Special Transmit

The bar codes below enable or disable the transmission of the ISBT Code 128 data identifiers. When this option is enabled, the first two data characters are removed from the data stream (ID characters) unless the ISBT bar code scanned contains Donation Identification Number identifiers. If Donation Identification Number identifiers are present, only the first ID character is removed from the Donation ID Number. The second is regarded as normal data.

Don’t Transmit ISBT ID’s

Transmit ISBT Identifiers

The bar codes below convert and transmit the Mode 37, 2 check digit from the flag digits of the Donation Identification Number provided the check digit is contained in the flag digits. Transmission of the Donation Identification number will be the same except for the last two digits, which are converted into a single check sum character.

Concatenation Configuration Mode†

The following bar codes are used to configure variable time requirements used to find the second bar code of the ISBT concatenation sequence.

100 msec to Find Concatenation Sequence

200 msec to Find Concatenation Sequence

300 msec to Find Concatenation Sequence

500 msec to Find Concatenation Sequence

600 msec to Find Concatenation, Sequence

700 msec to Find Concatenation Sequence

Pre-Defined Concatenation Configuration Mode†

The first two bar codes below enable or disable pre-defined concatenation sequences. The remaining bar codes enable the specific pre-defined concatenation sequence shown, but are not needed to enable concatenation. They can be used to disable or re-enable any selected pre-defined concatenation sequence.

Enable Pre-Defined Concatenation Sequence

Disable Pre-Defined Concatenation Sequence

User-Defined Concatenation Configuration Mode

The first two bar codes shown below can be used to enable or disable user- defined concatenation sequences. The remaining bar codes are used to enter the user-defined identifiers used in the concatenation sequence. First enter configuration mode then scan the one of the identifier codes, followed by the code byte sequence or the desired identifiers.

Enable User-Defined Sequences

Disable User-Defined Sequences

† This feature is only supported in the MS837 product series.

Page 32

The following example demonstrates how to configure the User-Defined ISBT identifiers:

Assume the left-hand identifiers are the ISBT defined donation identification number: “=G”; and the right hand identifiers are country specific identifiers “&a”.

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT configuration mode bar code.

2. Scan the 1

Left Identifier configuration mode bar code.

3. Scan (Code Byte 0) + (Code Byte 6) + (Code Byte 1).

4. Scan the 2

Left Identifier configuration mode bar code.

5. Scan (Code Byte 0) + (Code Byte 7) + (Code Byte 1).

6. Scan the 1

Right Identifier configuration mode bar code.

7. Scan (Code Byte 0) + (Code Byte 3) + (Code Byte 8).

8. Scan the 2

Right Identifier configuration mode bar code.

9. Scan (Code Byte 0) + (Code Byte 9) + (Code Byte 7).

10. Scan the Enable User-Defined Sequence bar Code.

11. Scan the Enable ISBT bar code.

12. Scan the ENTER/EXIT configuration mode bar code.

The scanner is now configured with the appropriate identifiers. Since both ISBT and User-defined Concatenation are enabled, ISBT 128 bar codes scanned successively that contain these identifiers will be concatenated.

An alternate method of the type found in section 4.8.1 of the ISBT specifications can be used for configuring user-defined concatenation sequences. Using the previous example, the identifiers can be configured into a single configuration mode bar code. The following bar codes can be used to enable and disable the user-defined concatenation.

Enable (Left, =G) + (Right, &a)

Disable (Left, =G) + (Right, &a)

Note: These configuration bar codes require Single-Code configuration mode. These bar

codes are not recognized in Multi-Code configuration mode.

Two forms of concatenation can be enabled at any given time, one pre-defined sequence and the user-defined sequence. Code selects and ISBT Code-128 concatenation cannot be used simultaneously. Both functions use the same internal resources so they must remain mutually exclusive.

Longitudinal Redundancy Check

A Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) is an error checking character that is calculated across a sequence of data characters. It is determined by eXclusive ORing (XOR) the characters to be checked, starting with an initial value of 00H.

The result, an “LRC byte” is then transmitted following the data stream and used by the receiving computer to determine if the information was received correctly. In the scanner’s case, XOR is performed prior to adding parity bits.

When the LRC is enabled, the scanner defaults to starting the LRC on the second byte of information transmitted. Optionally, the calculation can start on the first byte transmitted.

Enable Transmit of LRC Calculation - The scanner outputs on LRC

check character after the bar code.

Disable Transmit of LRC Calculation.

Control Sets

In general, standard bar code symbologies will only encode the ASCII character set. Function keys, arrow keys and many other extended keys on an IBM compatible keyboard do not translate to ASCII characters. One method of ‘bar coding’ the extended keys is to substitute the extended key codes when a specific ASCII control character is found in the bar code stream. The Control Sets are specific translations of the ASCII (HEX) set.

Code Bytes Usage

The scanner must be in Configuration Mode for the features requiring code bytes for configuration. The Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code must be scanned before starting the configuration cycle. User configurable prefix/suffix characters can then be saved by scanning the 3 digit decimal equivalent of the ASCII character into the appropriate character location with the code byte bar codes.

Example: To add an Asterisk (*) as a Prefix scan the following bar codes in order.

1. Enter/Exit Configuration Mode (3 beeps)

2. Configurable Prefix #1 (1 beep)

3. Code Byte 0 (1 beep)

4. Code Byte 4 (2 beeps)
