MENU PAGE

Each menu page represents one section of the programming menu. Use individual menu pages in combination with the bar code chart on the back page foldout to program the decoder.

USE THIS PAGE – A summary of the programming options (parameters) of each menu page. ENTER – Each menu page has its own unique ENTER bar code; scan this bar code to activate desired menu page. DEFAULT – The DEFAULT bar code allows the user to independently default menu pages to asterisked (*) values

without affecting, in any way, the rest of the programming menu. Default values can be easily selected from the desired menu pages by scanning the bar code sequence ENTER, DEFAULT, EXIT. Individual defaults for a specific selection can be made by scanning ENTER, ROMAN NUMERAL, DEFAULT, EXIT.

ESCAPE – Use this bar code to cancel current programming sequence. All parameters remain as they were. Scan ESCAPE to abort changes and exit from programming mode.

EXIT – Scanning this bar code ends programming selection. Go from one menu page to another by scanning a new ENTER code (no need to scan EXIT between pages). Scan EXIT to save changes and end programming sequence.

SELECTIONS/VARIABLES – Lists all of the options available on each menu page. Following each option are symbols in shaded areas. These symbols correspond to bar codes on the adjoining bar code chart.

NOTES – are provided to call out any unusual situations and/or refer you to necessary information or examples elsewhere in the menu or manual.

Programming Note: Programming changes are in effect as soon as you make them! For example: changes to the beeper volume can be heard instantly. Likewise, changes to the baud rate parameters occur as soon as the “ENTER RS–232,” Roman Numeral “I,” and number (“0–6”) sequence has been scanned. EXIT will save the changes; ESCAPE will restore the original settings. Take care that programming parameters match your terminal settings.

MENU PAGE FACING (Not Shown)

The page facing the menu is often used to supplement or clarify the material presented on the front of each menu page. The information and examples found here are specific to the individual menu page and contain, in some cases, charts and diagrams that must be used in order to determine the correct programming sequence.

BAR CODE DATA CHART

The bar codes on this chart are assigned to a ROMAN NUMERAL, LETTER, DIGIT, OR YES/NO symbol. These bar codes correspond to the symbols in shaded areas on the menu pages and are scanned in various combinations to enter programming sequences to the decoder. Bar codes on this page are meaningless unless an ENTER bar code from one of the menu pages is first scanned. When an ENTER bar code is scanned, the bar code chart becomes specific to that menu page and remains so until the EXIT bar code is scanned or another menu page is selected.

BEEPER

SCANTEAM 3000/PDF Information/Examples

Volume

This programming selection provides control of the reader’s beeper volume. The beeper volume may be set from low to high in four increments. Default = “2,” medium–high.

Beep on Power Up

When enabled, the reader will double beep each time the system is reset. When disabled, the beeper will not sound whenever the system is reset. Default = enabled (“Yes”).

Beep on Good Read

When enabled, the reader will beep once following a successful decode. When disabled, the beeper will not sound following the decode. Default = enabled (“Yes”).

Code 16K, Code 49: Click on Row Read

When enabled, the reader will click once after each row of a Code 16K or Code 49 stacked bar code has been read. When disabled, the beeper will not sound after scanning rows of Code 16K or Code 49 stacked bar code. Default = disabled (“No”).

PDF417: Ticking Indicates Scanning Progress

When enabled, the reader will emit a ticking sound as it scans a PDF417 symbol. The rate of ticking is proportional to the rate of data collection. When disabled, the beeper will not sound while scanning a PDF417 symbol. Default = disabled (“No”).

PDF417: Humming Indicates Decoder Is Busy

When enabled, the reader will emit a humming sound while it is decoding a PDF417 symbol. When disabled, the beeper will not sound while decoding a PDF417 symbol. Default = enabled (“Yes”).

What the Beeper is Telling you:

As audible feedback, the PDF Capable reader provides six different beeps:

single beep, double beep, triple beep, click, tick, and hum.

Single Beep Double Beep

Triple Beep

Click

Tick

Hum

One beep signals a successful barcode read. Two beeps in succession indicate either:

• a hardware reset (as when the unit is first powered on)

• ENTER/EXIT/ESCAPE programming mode (when using the

Three quick beeps in succession indicate an error condition, as when an illegal menu code is scanned, or when the serial input buffer overflows. Every character sent to the PDF Capable reader is stored in a buffer. If the characters arrive faster than the reader can process them, it is possible (though rare) that the input buffer will completely fill up, and an overflow occurs. See Technical Manual for more details. A “Click” has the same pitch as a beep, but has a much shorter duration. The click signals a successful row read for stacked codes 16K and 49. This provides useful feedback when the codes are scanned using a wand. Such feedback may not be as useful when using PDF Capable readers, since they have been optimized to read stacked codes.

The “Tick” has the shortest duration, and no perceivable pitch. It is used to indicate scanning progress while reading PDF417. A tick is initiated for every 32 PDF417 codewords read. A high rate of ticking corresponds to a high rate of data collection, thus good printing and good scanning technique are indicated by a high ticking rate.

Refer to the PDF Technical manual for printing/scanning suggestions. In general, keep the scan line of the reader aligned with the rows of the symbol. Printing smaller X–dimension and larger Y–dimension (row height) aids scanning ability.

The “Hum” is a steady tone with a lower pitch and volume than the beep, and a variable duration. The PDF417 reader can’t scan while decoding PDF417. When a great deal of error correction is required, the reader may appear to be “locked up.” Humming indicates that the reader is busy decoding. Use the ticking option for PDF417 to learn how to scan for optimum performance. Careful scanning greatly decreases PDF417 decoding time.

SCANTEAM 3000/PDF Information/Examples

Baud Rate

This programming selection sets the baud rate from 600 bits per second to 38,400 bits per second. Programming baud rate causes the data to be sent at the specified rate. Default = 9600 bits per second.

Character Format

This programming selection allows you to set the character format for number of data and parity bits. PDF capable products support seven or eight bits of data and zero or one parity bit per character. The number of start and stop bits is fixed at one each. If an application requires only ASCII characters 0 through 127 decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications requiring use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = eight data bits, no parity, and one stop bit.

Note: PDF417 data is checked for accuracy before it is transmitted. This doesn’t guarantee that errors won’t be introduced during data communication. A parity bit may be added to each transmitted character as a means of character validation. A checksum character may also added to the message as a postamble (suffix), for even stronger security (see Preamble/Postamble menu page). The receiving device must be set up for precisely the same character format as the reader, to ensure reliable communication.

Data Flow Control

Flow control may be necessary to handle the larger PDF417 messages. The PDF417 reader will normally transmit a message immediately following a successful decode. With flow control selected, the receiver can enable/disable the reader’s transmitter. Default = “None,” no data flow control option selected.

For example: suppose the receiver stores transmitted characters in a 512–byte buffer , yet the PDF417 reader has a 1400–byte message to transmit. The receiver might take 510 characters into its buffer, then tell the reader to STOP transmitting. As the receiver processes the message, space becomes available in the 512–byte buffer and the receiver can tell the reader to STAR T transmitting again.

Two methods of flow control have been implemented in the PDF capable products: RTS/CTS hardware handshaking, and an XON/XOFF protocol.

RTS/CTS Handshaking

This option will use two wires connected to both the reader and the receiver. The reader will have control of the RTS line, the receiver controls the CTS line.

Whenever the reader has a message to send, it will raise (the voltage on) the Ready To Send (RTS) line. (If the reader has no messages to send it will ground the RTS line.) When the receiver wants to suspend transmission it should ground the CTS line. The reader looks at the state of CTS prior to sending each character. When the receiver is willing to accept a message from the reader it should raise (the voltage on) the Clear T o Send (CTS) line. The reader will resume sending messages, continuing where it left off when the CTS line was grounded.

XON/XOFF Protocol

This option uses only the transmit/receive lines between the reader and the receiver. When the receiver wants to suspend transmission, it will send the XOFF character (ASCII

19 decimal) to the reader. When the receiver wants to resume transmission, it will send the XON character (ASCII 17 decimal) to the reader. The reader will resume sending messages, continuing where it left off when the XOFF character was sent.

TRIGGER

Generally, a TRIGGER ON causes the reader to begin decoding, and a TRIGGER OFF halts decoding. The meaning of TRIGGER ON and TRIGGER OFF depends on the trigger mode.

SCANTEAM 3000/PDF Information/Examples

Autotrigger Enable

In autotrigger mode, the reader scans continuously. It does not, however , output decoded messages continuously. Internal logic determines when to output a decoded message. This decision is based on several factors, including the state of TRIGGER ON/OFF . In the context of autotrigger mode, TRIGGER ON/OFF are defined as:

TRIGGER ON – The scanner senses the presence of several black/white elements (does not yet know if pattern is decodable).

TRIGGER OFF – The scanner senses the lack of black/white elements.

The reader’s new autotrigger logic is aggressive, resulting in fast reads. It is to TRIGGER OFF in order to read a needs to TRIGGER OFF for about a quarter of a second.

Manual Trigger Enable

In manual trigger mode, a TRIGGER ON is required to activate scanning and decoding. In the context of manual trigger mode, TRIGGER ON/OFF are defined as:

TRIGGER ON – (A) The trigger switch is pressed command (ASCII 18 decimal) is sent to the reader.

TRIGGER OFF – (A) The trigger switch is released command (ASCII 20 decimal) is sent to the reader.

In manual trigger mode it is necessary to TRIGGER OFF following a successful decode before another code can be read. The scanning stops immediately following a successful decode, but the reader is not TRIGGERED OFF until one of the conditions above has been satisfied.

Note: If the scanner is triggered serially, it isn’t necessary to send the TRIGGER OFF command.

A power–saving mode is available for hand–held readers having a hardware trigger in manual trigger mode. All that is required is the proper cable. (Contact your sales

representative or refer to the IPWC Cable Matrix for hand–held CCD constant/switched–power cable information.) On power–up, the reader senses if the

unit is using the switched–power cable, and goes immediately into a low–power mode. Only the trigger–sensing circuitry is powered (current draw is  0.23 mA @ 5V for 3000–12C) until the trigger is pulled. Refer to the scanner’s T echnical Manual for specifics.

Note: Manual Trigger mode is not available in hand–held scanners having no trigger switch (such as the 3000–0XC).

PREAMBLE/POSTAMBLE

SCANTEAM 3000/PDF Information/Examples

Preamble/Postamble

The scanner will transmit the decoded message after every successful bar code read. Y ou have the option of adding characters before (preamble) and after (postamble) the bar code:

Transmitted data frame –>

Preamble PostambleBar Code Message

Characters for the preamble and postamble are selected by their hexadecimal ASCII value, up to 8 characters each. In addition, special characters are available for code identification and for error detection. Programming preamble/postambles is flexible, allowing creative framing possibilities.

These preamble/postambles apply to all messages regardless of the symbology, and cannot be assigned for a specific symbology. The special characters for Code ID

will

change to indicate the decoded symbology .

Note: HEX–ASCII and Symbology charts are shown below the Preamble/Postamble Examples. Special Characters and their explanations are on following (menu) page.

Preamble/Postamble Examples:

1. The postamble defaults to a carriage return plus line feed:

<CR> <LF>Bar Code Message

If no postamble is desired, scan:

ENTER, , EXIT

Where:

ENTER (Preamble/Postamble) enters programming mode.

 selects postamble programming and clears current postamble. EXIT saves changes and exits programming mode.

2. T o frame a message with <STX> (start of transmission) and <ETX> (end of transmission):

<STX>

<ETX>Bar Code Message

First program the preamble, then the postamble, by scanning:

ENTER, , 0, 2, , 0, 3, EXIT

Where:

ENTER (Preamble/Postamble) enters programming mode.

 selects preamble programming and clears current preamble. 02 represents the hexadecimal ASCII value for the <STX> character.  selects postamble programming and clears current postamble. 03 represents the hexadecimal ASCII value for the <ETX> character. EXIT saves changes and exits programming mode.

Data in a Codabar symbol is framed by a start and a stop character. Since they are not considered part of the message, they are not ordinarily transmitted.

For applications requiring enhanced security, a check character may be used. When enabled, the reader will assume that the last character is a check character, and will use it to verify the accuracy of the scanned data. If no error is detected, the data will be transmitted.

When required, the check character will be verified, but will not normally be transmitted. Enable this option to transmit the checksum, when planning to verify transmitted data.

Codabar provides an option for concatenating messages of adjacent symbols. The reader can distinguish those messages which are concatenated from those that are not. Select “NO” to prevent concatenation.

With this option enabled the reader concatenated symbols. If a particular application will always use concatenation with Codabar, then this option is recommended.

Data in a Code 39 Symbol is framed by a start and a stop character. Since they are not considered part of the message they are not ordinarily transmitted.

For applications requiring enhanced security, a check character can be used. When enabled, the reader will assume that the last character is a check character, and will use it to verify the accuracy of the scanned data. If no error is detected, the data will be transmitted.

When required, the check character will be verified, but will not normally be transmitted. Enable this option to transmit the checksum, when planning to verify transmitted data.

The code 39 specification provides a means of encoding the full ASCII set of characters by using two–character sequences made up of one of the four Code 39 characters ($ + % /) followed by one of the 26 letters as shown in the Full ASCII Code 39 chart (on page 14). The reader cannot distinguish Code 39 labels encoded in full ASCII mode from those encoded in standard mode. Use this option to direct the decoder which mode to assume.

The Code 39 specification provides a means of appending data messages. If the first data character of a Code 39 symbol is a SPACE, then data following the SP ACE can be appended to a storage buffer. PDF Capable readers don’t have an append buffer; therefore this function isn’t available. When append option is selected, any leading SPACE is removed from the transmitted message.

For applications requiring enhanced data security, a check character can be used. When enabled, the reader will assume that the last digit is a check digit, and will use it to verify the accuracy of the scanned data. If no errors are detected the data will be transmitted.

When required, the check digit will be verified, but will not normally be transmitted. Enable this option to transmit the check digit, when planning to verify the transmitted data.

Standard Version, used to encode a 12–digit number; the first digit is the number system character, the next ten are data characters, the last is a check character.

This Variable–length version is not supported by the PDF Capable reader.

The zero–suppression version for number system 0 compacts UPC data into six digits.

No longer supported by the UPC specification because of its similarity to EAN 13, this zero–suppression version compacts UPC number system 1 data into six digits. The PDF Capable readers can be programmed to read UPC E1 as long as EAN 13 is disabled.

The check digit of a UPC symbol is normally transmitted, though the reader can be programmed to suppress the check digit.

The number system character of a UPC symbol is normally transmitted, though the reader can be programmed to suppress the check digit.

Note: Welch Allyn PDF Capable readers can autodiscriminate between

If this option is enabled, any partial PDF417 scan will be cleared from memory upon a TRIGGER OFF. Normally PDF scans are saved in memory until either a DECODE or a new PDF417 label is scanned. It is not always possible for the reader to know when a new label is introduced.

If this option is enabled, the reader sends out a message (ASCII decimal 23) to notify the host system that a successful PDF417 decode is certain; no more scanning is required.

For Example: in a machine–mount system, a host computer moves a PDF417 label back and forth in front of the PDF Capable reader until the ASCII decimal 23 is received. At that point scanning is completed, and the decoded message will follow.

The PDF Capable reader must temporarily halt scanning in order to perform PDF417 decoding. A refined algorithm automatically predicts when enough information has been scanned to insure a successful decode. If the scanned data contains many errors, though, decoding cannot succeed and more scanning is required.

In a machine–mount system with a predetermined scan cycle, it may be an advantage to use

SERIAL MENU

SCANTEAM 3000/PDF Programming Menu

Using the Serial Menu

The serial menu may be used any time in place of the bar code menuing. The serial menu is particularly useful for programming PDF capable machine–mount readers that don’t have a hardware trigger.

Every programming menu code can be replaced by a two–character serial command. A serial device programs the reader by sending the proper sequence of serial commands. Use the menu pages to select the programming variables your application requires.

For every menu code, the equivalent two–character serial command (and its corresponding ASCII decimal value) are given in the SERIAL MENU CHARTS on the following pages.

Example 1

For instance, if you want PDF417 enabled and all other bar code symbologies disabled, use the CODES (STACKED) menu page. The correct sequence of serial commands would be:

F <Ctrl–X> T <Ctrl–Y> 0 <Ctrl–Y> K <Ctrl–Y> 0 <Ctrl–Y> <SPC> <Ctrl–Y>

The above serial commands correspond to the selections and variables on the programming menu page:

• ENTER code for that menu page

• “Disable All Codes” selection (Roman Numeral X)

• “Yes” (Digit 0) to disable all codes

• PDF417 selection (Roman Numeral I)

• “Y es” (Digit 0) to enable PDF417 decoding

• “EXIT” code for that menu page.

Example 2

If you wish to enable ticking to show PDF417 scanning progress, use the BEEPER menu page. The correct sequence of serial commands would be:

A <Ctrl–X> O <Ctrl–Y> 0 <Ctrl–Y> <SPC> <Ctrl–Y>

The above serial commands correspond to the selections and variables on the programming menu page:

• ENTER code for that menu page

• “Ticking Indicates Scanning Progress

• “Y es” (Digit 0) to enable this selection

• “EXIT” code for that menu page.

(PDF417)

” selection (Roman Numeral V)

Special Notes:

T ake care not to confuse the letter O and the number 0. Note also that the DEFAUL T code is represented by a period (.) followed by <Ctrl–Y>. ASCII (decimal) values are included on the SERIAL MENU CHARTS (below the corresponding serial command).

RS–232 parameter changes are immediately effected. The connected host serial device must also change to the programmed selections accordingly. After changing baud rate it may be necessary to wait a short amount of time for the serial port to stabilize. For this reason bar code menuing is suggested for changing RS–232 parameters.

In manual trigger mode, two serial commands may be used to turn the trigger on/off. The commands are:

ASCII 18 (decimal) Ctrl–R Trigger ON ASCII 20 (decimal) Ctrl–T Trigger OFF

For PDF417, the notify–when–certain character is:

ASCII 23 (decimal) Ctrl–W Notify–When–Certain
