Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a
lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner
ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time.
In addition to single-line laser scanning, the scanner supports multi-line rastering. Multi-line rastering allows the
scanner to capture stacked GS1 DataBar codes and increases angular tolerances, minimizing product orientation
and hand movements. Multi-line rastering also allows the scanner to read poor quality bar codes. For more
information about scanning modes and stacked GS1 DataBar codes, see Scan Pattern on page 4-6 and GS1
DataBar on page C-3.
NOTE The scanner does not currently support PDF417 bar codes and its variants.

Aiming
On a typical UPC 100% hold the scanner between contact and 19 inches from the symbol (see Decode Zone on
page 2-9). When scanning using a single-line scan mode, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the
symbol.
Figure 2-3
Acceptable and Incorrect Single-Line Aiming
When scanning using a multi-line scan mode, at least one scan line must cross every bar a nd space of the symbol.
012345
Figure 2-4
Acceptable and Incorrect Multi-Line Aiming
Regardless of the scan mode, the scan line 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) clos er to the scanner, and those
with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar
code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult.
NOTE Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected. A full scan line width is the default.
Medium and short scan line widths ar e use ful for scanning menus or pick-lists.

Chapter 4 User Preferences
*High Frequency
Feature/Option
* Indicates Default
Introduction
If desired, program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix
A, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements,
programming may not be necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar co de or a sh ort b ar code sequen ce. The setting s are stored in non -vola tile
memory and are preserved even when th e sca nn e r is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or 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 their default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-3. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*).
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 Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-4. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a suc c essful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Format s, re quire scanning several
bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, when an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct
parameter.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the scanner. With this interface, the
scanner is connected between the keyboard and host compu ter, and translates bar code dat a into keystrokes. The
host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard. This mode adds bar code reading
functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

Function Key Mapping
ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control key sequences (see Table 5-2 on page 5-13). When this
parameter is enabled, the keys in bold are sent in place of the standard key mapping. Table entries that do not
have a bold entry remain the same whether or not this parameter is enabled.

ASCII Character Set for Keyboard Wedge
NOTE Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and
assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B
is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and %V as @. Scanning ABC%I outputs the keystroke
equivalent of ABC >.

Chapter 6 RS-232 Interface
*Baud Rate 57,600
Feature/Option
* Indicates Default
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an RS-232 host. The RS-232 interface is used to connect
the scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com
port).
If the host is not listed in Table 6-2, refe r to the document ation for the ho st device to set commu nication para meters
to match the host.
NOTE The scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system
architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Zebra offers different cables providing TTL-to-RS-232C
conversion. Contact Zebra Support for more information.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*).

Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the ha rdware handshaking
lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).
If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard
RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence:
•
The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scan ner waits u p to Host Serial Resp onse
Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is still
asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost.
•
When the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner asserts the R TS line and waits up to Host Serial Response
Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted. If, after Host Serial
Response Time-out, the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a tran smit error, and d iscards the da t a.
•
When data transmission is complete, the scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.
•
The host should respond by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next
transmission of data.
During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is de-asserted for mo re than 50 ms
between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is
discarded.
If the above communication sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication . In this case, the data is lost and
must be rescanned.
If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes
precedence.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 11
NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.
•
None: Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired.
•
Standard RTS/CTS: Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking.
•
RTS/CTS Option 1: When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and
ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.
•
RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level).
However, th e scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within
Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
•
RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission,
regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for CTS to be
asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the
data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

Software Handshaking
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardwa re
handshaking. There are five options.
If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes
precedence.
•
None: When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from host.
•
ACK/NAK: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK
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 attemp ts to send dat a when NAKs are received, the scann er
issues an error indication and discards the data.
The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response T ime- out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the
scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards th e data. There ar e no
retries when a time-out occurs.
•
ENQ: When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting
data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error
indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial
Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.
•
ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK
from the host, an additional ENQ is not required.
•
XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON
character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
• XOFF is received before the scanner has d ata to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to
Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received
within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
• XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte.
When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The scanner waits
