- Standard Range (SR): The SR focusing is used to maximize the far reading distance and is the standard offering on all mobile computing products using same imager. The SR focusing is not specified to read 5 mil code 128 or
6.6 mil Databar and is thus inadequate for applications that have these somewhat higher density reading requirements. This is the default configuration and the configuration of choice where the far reading range is more important than the ability to read high density symbols.
- Driver License (DL): The DL focusing is optimized for reading all drivers license and is also specified to read higher density codes such as 5 mil code 128 and Databar and 5 Mil PDF417. As a result it has a slightly reduced range on EAN/UPC codes (typically 12" on photographic quality symbol). This is the preferred configuration where the ability to read these higher density codes is more important than range on medium or low density codes (10 mil and above). DL is recommended in electronics, pharmacy or when handling small items.
Inspect the equipment for damage. If you are missing any equipment or if you find any damaged equipment, contact the Zebra Support immediately. See Service Information on page 14 for contact information.

27
Getting Started

Pairing Bar Code Format

In order to pair the Imager with a mobile computer over Bluetooth, a pairing bar code must be created. You can use the Display_BD_Address application on the mobile computer, or create and print a pairing bar code label. To create a pairing bar code label, the Bluetooth address of the mobile computer should be available (refer to the mobile computer user guide).
Pairing bar codes are Code 128, Data Matrix or Aztec symbologies formatted as follows:
<Fnc3>Bxxxxxxxxxxxx
Where xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.
Pairing Bar Code Example
If the mobile computer to which the Imager connects has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is:
Figure 15 Creating a Pairing Bluetooth Bar Code
Paring Bar Code Content: <Fnc 3> ‘B’ + Bluetooth Address

Scan

The Imager uses digital camera technology to take an image of a bar code and software decoding algorithms are executed to extract the bar code data from the image.

Scan Triggering Modes

Manual Triggering (Triggered models only)
1. Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.
2. Position the Imager approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code and press the Scan Trigger. Position the
cross hair laser beam to cover the bar code. The Imager takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.
NOTE: After battery is inserted or a corded adaptor is connected (on both sides), the first trigger press disables the
auto triggering mode.
3. One green flash of the LEDs is given and a high beep sounds to indicate that the bar code was properly
decoded.
NOTE: In some configurations proper decoding of a bar code is indicated by the software application running on
the mobile computer.
Auto-triggering (Triggerless models only)
The Imager is provided with auto-triggering capability. In auto-triggering mode, both motion and proximity sensors are used to trigger the Imager when the user intends to scan a bar code.
28
Getting Started
With auto-triggering activated, the Imager automatically scans when motion stops and a bar code is placed within the depth of field of the Imager. The Imager scans the bar code and turns off to conserve power.
To scan a bar code in auto-triggering mode:
1. Position the Imager approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code.
2. Aim at the bar code.
3. The Imager takes a picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.
4. One green flash of the Scan LEDs and a high beep indicates that a bar code was properly decoded.
NOTE: In some applications, proper detection of a bar code is indicated by a software application running on
the mobile computer.

Aiming the Imager

The aiming pattern of the Imager is a cross hair laser beam with bright center dot (see Figure 16). The virtual rectangle made by the cross hair reflects the field of view of the Imager. The aiming pattern is used to position the bar code within the field of view.
Figure 16 Cross Hair Laser Beam
Cross hair laser beam
Virtual rectangle made by the cross hair laser beam
Enter the symbol in any orientation within the virtual rectangle made by the cross hair laser beam, making use of its omnidirectional reading capability within the entire field of view.

Aiming pattern Pattern
The Imager can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered (see the top bar codes on Figure 18). The bar codes marked with X in Figure 18, however, show bar code aiming that may result in no decode.
When using the application on your mobile computer in “Pick List” mode, the Bright Center Dot can be positioned anywhere on the symbol (see Figure 16).The top examples in Figure 18 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

Figure 18 Acceptable Aiming Options
The aiming pattern is smaller when the Imager 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 Imager and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the Imager.
1. Hold the Imager between two and eleven inches from the bar code (depending on the bar code density).
NOTE: When a symbol is under transparent plastic or on a mobile computer screen, it is recommended to use a
tilt (pitch) or skew scan angle to minimize reflection.
2. Press the Scan trigger. The aiming pattern illuminates red indicating that the laser is on. One green flash of the
Scan LED and a high beep indicates that a bar code was properly decoded.

Configuring the Imager

Introduction

The Imager is a modular product used in several hardware configurations. Such configurations may include corded or cordless connection to a terminal / mobile computer with manual or automatic triggering.
The Imager is provided with a default software configuration set in the factory. This software configuration can be optimized by the customer to meet their specific operational requirements. Therefore, before using the Imager, it is essential that the Imager be properly configured to harness its extensive capabilities and gain maximum efficiency.
There are several ways to configure the Imager. The best way is to set the parameters for each application allowing the required degrees of freedom. In some cases it is recommended to allow the user to select between the various operational modes or use cases, each with its own set of parameters.
Zebra mobile computers using the EMDK may utilize the SCAN and/or RSM APIs to configure the operation of the Imager. Zebra terminals that cannot use the EMDK, may configure some operations of the Imager by scanning special configuration bar codes (see Miscellaneous Imager Options on page 66) as done with many of Zebra bar code scanners.
A selection of most configured Imager parameters can be set with the Remote Scanner Management Sample (RSMSample) application installed on all Zebra mobile computers supporting the Imager. Some of the Imager parameters can also be set by the Control Panel application.
Once connected to a mobile computer, the application running on the mobile computer overrides the Imager parameters previously set.
48
RS507 Update and Configuration

Control Panel Application

The Control Panel (CTLpanel) application can be used for configuring the Imager by changing its values. The Control Panel application also enables one to retrieve and display the current setting of each value.
The Control Panel application together with the RSMsample application enable the user to configure the RS507. Users with Mobile computer that do not have the Control Panel application installed can download the application (CtlPanelWM.exe) and related documentation from the Support Central site at: http://www.zebra.com/support.
The following example describes how to read and configure new values of the Imager attributes.
To set new attribute values:
1. When using the WT4XXX, from the App Launcher screen, open the Utilities folder and start the Control Panel
application. When using a mobile computer with Windows Mobile, open the Application folder and start the CtlPanelWM application.

Imager Motion and Proximity Configuration

The Imager proximity and motion feature enables auto-triggering of the Imager upon motion and/or proximity to an object.
Motion and proximity detection can be enabled or disabled by the mobile computer application such as the Remote Scanner Management (RSMSample) application of the mobile computer (see “RSMSample Application” on
page 8-50) or by scanning configuration bar codes (see Miscellaneous Imager Options on page 66).
NOTE: Once configured, the motion and/or proximity attributes are retained in the Imager memory following
warm or cold boot.
Operation Modes
The Imager can be configured to a single or continuous scan operation. In most use cases, a single scan mode is the preferred operation. However, when scanning packages off a moving conveyer belt, it is sometimes recommended to use the continuous scan mode (also referred to as 'Proximity Continuous' mode). Continuous operation automatically results from the combined settings of motion and proximity (enabling or disabling motion and/or proximity. See Table ). The Imager is provided with motion and proximity enabled by default. To set new values to the motion and/or proximity attributes, refer to Imager Attributes on page 53.

Miscellaneous Imager Options

Introduction

The Imager is intended to operate hand in hand with the mobile computer to which it is connected.
The mobile computer automatically loads configuration data whenever connected to an Imager (corded or cordless). This operation does not require scanning configuration bar codes. Using configuration bar codes is only available for a cordless Imager when decontrolled from the mobile computer.
It is recommended to use configuration bar codes only for setting parameters that cannot be configured by the other mobile computer application.
NOTE: Imager parameters set by scanning configuration bar codes, persist in the Imagers memory.
The Imager ships with the settings shown in Table 9 on page 67 (also see Standard Default Parameters on page
226 for host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming is not
necessary.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen (when using the imaging
engine). When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 68. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks indicate (
*) default values.
* Indicates Default

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 70. The Imager issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
*High Volume

Miscellaneous Imager Options
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See these 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.

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters

Transmit Code ID Character

Parameter # 2Dh
A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is useful when decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character. For Code ID Characters, see Symbol Code Identifiers on page 231 and AIM Code Identifiers on page 232.
NOTE: If you enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character, and enable Transmit “No Read”

Introduction

This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Getting Started.
NOTE: When the Imager is connected to a mobile computer, configuration by scanning bar codes is disabled. In
such case, programming the Imager is performed by an application running on the mobile computer.
When the Imager is connected to a mobile computer, the configuration application running on the mobile computer may override the parameters previously entered by scanning. Once configured, the new parameters are saved in the Imager memory after disconnecting the Imager or terminating the application.
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 Imager powers down.
Select a host type 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 default bar code (see Set Default Parameter on page 68). Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (
* Indicates Default

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A
Check Digit on page 97. The Imager issues a fast warble beep and the LEDs turn green, signifying a successful
parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes. See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

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

Symbology Parameter Defaults

Table 10 lists the defaults for all symbology parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:
Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 68.
Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers appear in this
chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. Refer to the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters using this method.
NOTE: See Standard Default Parameters on page 226 for all user preferences, hosts, and miscellaneous
default parameters.

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals

Parameter # 10h
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). The following options are available:
If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the digital scanner is presented with a
UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the digital scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols
with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the digital scanner decodes UPC/EAN
symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the digital scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy
on page 96 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the digital scanner immediately transmits
EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the digital scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy on page 96 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no
supplemental. The digital scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.
