Setting Up the Scanner

Power Options

The DS7708 does not have an on/off switch. It is powered via the host through the host cable and is ready to scan when connected to a host.

•

When an auxiliary scanner is not connected: If an auxiliary scanner is not connected, the DS7708 requires 5VDC from the host. If the host cannot provide 5VDC, or cannot provide sufficient power (for example, RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge hosts) then an external 5VDC power supply is required.

•

When an auxiliary scanner is connected: If an auxiliary scanner is connected, the DS7708 requires 12VDC from the host. If t he host ca nnot pr ovide 12VDC, or cannot p rovide suf ficient power (fo r example, USB Series A type connector, or RS-232) then a cable with a 12VDC power port and external 12VDC power supply is required.

When the scanner receives power, the green LED lights and three short high beeps sound, indicating that the scanner is operational.

Ports

Host Port. A 10-pin RS-45 type connector is provided to connect various ho st int er fa ce cables . Auxiliary (Hand-held) Scanner Port. A Series A type USB connector is provided to connect an auxiliary

s c a n n e r, s u c h a s t h e D S 4 3 0 8 . The auxiliary scanner’s host interface is automatically set to match the DS7708 host interface.

Note For detailed connection information, see the applicable host interface chapter.

Connecting the Host and/or Auxiliary Scanner Cable

Different hosts require different cables. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. Connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same. See each individual host interface chapter for interface specific connections.

The back cover must be removed prior to connecting cables (see Removing and Re placing the Back Co ver on

Configuring the Scanner

To configure the scanner, use the bar codes in this manual, or use the 123Scan² configuration program (see

Chapter 2, 123SCAN).

The scanner supports RS-232, IBM 468X/469X, Keyboard Wedge, and USB to interface with a host system. Each host-specific chapter describes how to set up each of these connections.

Synchronization of Settings

Host Requested Setting Changes

GETTING STARTED 1 - 7

The IBM 4683, IBM Hand-held, and USB hosts can change a limited set of the scanner's settings. The 123Scan²

host maintains all the scanner settings. When an auxiliary scanner is connected, all setting changes the host requests are processed by both the DS7708 and the auxiliary scanner. Only a limited set of auxiliary scanner settings are updated, including code type enable/disable, code type lengths, beeper settings, redundancy, and security level settings.

For example, if the IBM 4683 host requests to disable the Code 39 symbology, then Code 39 is disab led on both the DS7708 and the auxiliary scanner.

Bar Code Menu Symbols Scanned on the DS7708

A limited set of bar code menu symbols scanned on the DS7708 are synchronized with the auxiliary scanner (if attached). These settings are code type enable/disable, code type lengths, beeper settings, redundancy, and security level settings.

Bar Code Menu Symbols Scanned on the Hand-held Scanner

By default, the auxiliary scanner can program the DS7708 settings (primary only mode). The auxiliary programming mode setting All Scanners Mode allows programming both the auxiliary scanner

and the DS7708 simultaneously. In this mode, scanning Set Defaults returns the DS7708 to the default mode. Another setting isolates the auxiliary scanner so that the bar code menu symbols scanned apply only to the

auxiliary scanner. To return to the default functionality change the setting on the DS7708 directly. Regardless of the auxiliary scanner mode, all parameter changes requested by the host and via bar code

menu settings on the DS7708 are synchronized on the auxiliary scanner for applicable settings.

CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTURE

Overview

This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes, beeper and LED definitions, and general instructions and tips about scanning. See components. See each host chapter for information about connecting host cable s and power supplies, when necessary.

Chapter 1, GETTING STARTED for information on scanner

3 - 2 DS7708 2D Vertical Slot Scanner Product Reference Guide

To scan a bar code:

1. Ensure all cable connections are secure.

2. Orient the item with the bar code facing the

scanner window.

3. Present the item anywhere within the active scan

area.

4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and

the green LED flashes momentarily.

Scanning Bar Codes on Products

Install and program the scanner. For the best scanning performance, the table top or surface area covered by the active scan area should be

free of any designs (for example, stripes or patterns). Ideally, that area should be a light, solid color. The DS7708 includes an automatic Object Detection wakeup system that provides a high swipe speed and

reduces power consumption. The red Illumination has two power levels mode: Idle Mode for object detection and Full Illumination for scanning. When any object is presented in front of the window opening, the red illumination changes from Idle Mode to Full Mode, but automatically returns to Idle Mode when the object is removed. When the object presented in the Field of View (F OV) includes a bar code, the DS7708 scans the bar code, and if the bar code is successfully decoded, the illumination LEDs automatically return to Idle Mode when the object is removed.

The DS7708 is able to adjust the FOV by a reading a command bar code and pr event decodin g undesired ba r codes that are in the FOV.

Active Scan Area

The active scan area is the area in front of the scanner window opening in which a bar code can be decoded. The dotted area represents the active scan area.

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)

The scanner includes an integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antenna. The scanner and EAS system can operate independently of each other. The deactivation range is mapped suitable to the scanning range, so both can be accomplished almost simultaneously.

A pair of EAS leads in th e back of the DS7708 allow the EAS deactivation antenna to be connected to the Checkpoint EAS system at the other end.

Installing

Checkpoint EAS Model Compatibility

The DS7708 is intended for use with Checkpoint CP-VII, CP-IX, and CP-XI systems. It does n ot support CP- IV and other low-power receiver-based EAS deactivation systems.

Considerations

The Checkpoint CP-VII system generates a periodic burst of electromagnetic energy that de activates EAS tags brought near the scanner. To avoid interference with the scanner’s operation, take the following precautions when installing the EAS system:

DATA CAPTURE 3 - 7

•

Position the EAS antenna box as far as possible from the scanner (at least 6 in. / 15.24 cm.)

•

Position the EAS antenna, EAS antenna box, EAS control cable, and EAS controller box as far as possible from the scanner’s host and power cables.

EAS range is as dependent on the Checkpoint system (which is calibrated onsite) as it is on the scanner. Therefore, we cannot provide estimated ranges, however these a re some of th e factor s that cont ribute to EAS range:

•

Antenna – Length, gauge, number of turns, placement in the scanner

•

Type of Checkpoint EAS system used (ie. CP-VII, CP-IX, and CP-XI)

•

Length of wire connecting antenna to (Checkpoint) EAS (site/installation dependent)

•

Settings done within Checkpoint system (site/installation dependent).

Checkpoint Contact Information

Contact your local Checkpoint representative to install the EAS cable to the Checkpoint Deactivation System.

You can program the scanner to perform various functi ons, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting th es e fea tu re s.

The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 5-1 on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, STANDARD

DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit

requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in

non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the

power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host. To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 5-4. Throughout the

programming bar code menus, asterisks indicate (*) default values.

5 - 2 DS7708 2D Vertical Slot Scanner Product Reference Guide

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Tone (beeper tone) bar code in the Beeper Tone section on

page 5-8. Other parameters, such

as Serial Response Timeout or Data Transmis sion Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See the se parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences/Miscellaneous Options Parameter Defaults

Table 5-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. To change the default values, scan the appropriate

bar codes in this guide. These new va lues r ep lace th e standar d d efault values in memor y. To recall the default parameter values, scan the
