Data Capture
Introduction
This chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, general instructions and tips about scanning, and decode zone
diagrams.
Beeper and LED Indicators
In addition to beep sequences, the scanner uses a two-color LED to indicate status.
• The DS9308 scanner includes one LED indicator for system/decode indications.
Table 3 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner; LED
colors that display during scanning.

hands-free (presentation)
and hand-held
Hands-free Scanning
The scanner is in
using the multi-mount bracket. In this mode, the scanner operates in continuous (constant-on) mode, where it
automatically decodes a barcode presented in its field of view.
In hands-free mode the LED indicator turns solid green. An aiming dot does not appear.
Figure 14 Scanning in Hands-free Mode

when it sits on a counter top, or when it is mounted on a wall
Hand-held Scanning
To operate the digital scanner in hand-held mode (momentary trigger mode):
1. Pick up the digital scanner and press the trigger. The aiming dot displays.
Figure 15 Scanning in Hand-held (Momentary Trigger) Mode
2. Ensure the aiming dot is centered on the barcode (see Figure 17).

3. Press and hold the trigger until either:
a. The digital scanner reads the barcode. The digital scanner beeps and the successful decode LED flashes.
b. The digital scanner does not read the barcode and the illumination turns off.
4. Release the trigger. The aiming dot reappears. To read another barcode, repeat steps 2 and 3.
After a programmable time period (see Momentary Trigger Mode Timeout on page 77), the aiming dot turns off and
the digital scanner returns to presentation mode, ready to read barcodes without the use of the trigger. For beeper
definitions, see Table 3 on page 42.
Aiming
The scanner may project an LED dot which allows positioning the barcode within its field of view. See Decode
Ranges on page 47 for the proper distance to achieve between the scanner and a barcode.
Figure 16 Scanning Orientation with Imager Aiming Dot
The scanner can also read a barcode presented within the aiming dot not centered. The top examples in Figure 17
show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.
Figure 17 Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming
The aiming dot is smaller when the scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol.
Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner, and those with larger bars or elements
(mil size) farther from the scanner.
The scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the barcode. For more information on beeper and LED
definitions, see Table 3 on page 42.

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
NOTE: EAS is available only on scanner models that support Checkpoint EAS.
Some scanner configurations include an integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antenna.
The scanner's integrated EAS deactivation antenna requires an EAS host cable. This Y-cable connects to the
scanner's host port at one end, and splits to the host and the EAS system at the other end.
Installing
Checkpoint EAS Model Compatibility
The scanner is intended for use with Checkpoint CP-VII, CP-IX, and CP-XI systems. It does not 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 deactivates EAS tags
brought near the scanner. To avoid interference with the scanner’s operation, take the following precautions when
installing the EAS system:
• 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.
47
Data Capture
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 are some of the factors that contribute 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.

Miscellaneous Options
Introduction
You can program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
user preference features and provides programming barcodes for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 8 on page 60 (also see Parameter Defaults for all defaults). If
the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single barcode or a short barcode sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the scanner powers down.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and bars and/or
spaces do not merge.
If not using the default host, select the 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, see Default Parameters on page 62. Throughout the programming barcode
menus, asterisks indicate (
*) default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beep tone) barcode listed under Beep Tone on page 65. The scanner issues a fast warble
beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several barcodes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.
59
User Preferences & Miscellaneous Options
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

associated with the securPharm GS1 specifications, the entire GS1 symbol is processed as a securPharm symbol.
For this reason, it is expected that under certain circumstances, a GS1 barcodes that is a securPharm symbol may
not be processed properly; if the GS1 symbol is not created as per the specification. The output cannot be
guaranteed as valid.
Although the GS1-128 type and the GS1 DataBar family are not specifically indicated in the IFA specification, they
are supported.
The securPharm output is in XML format and can include the product number, serial number, lot number,
expiration and Date of Manufacturing. The XML tags can be arranged in any order. Tags that are not in the
barcode are omitted. For example:
<content dfi=”value_dfi”>
<Daten_1>value_Daten_1</Daten_1>
<Daten_2>value_Daten_2</Daten_2>
<Daten_n>value_Daten_n</Daten_n>
</content>
Where:
value_dfi = IFA or GS1
Daten_1 to Daten_n is the production number, serial number, etc.

Introduction
You can program the imager to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
image capture preference features and provides programming barcodes for selecting these features.
NOTE: Only the Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging interface supports image capture. See USB Device
Type on page 238 to enable this host.
The imager ships with the settings shown in Table 9 on page 101 (also see Parameter Defaults for all defaults). If
the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single barcode or a short barcode sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the imager powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Factory Defaults on page 62. Throughout the programming
barcode menus, asterisks (
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and
bars and/or spaces do not merge.
*) indicate default values.
