Getting Started
Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your imager. Some programming barcode labels, like the
Standard Product Default Settings on page 9
, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the imager to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter-
Programming Mode. Once the imager is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the imager to normal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
NOTE
Select the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the imager and its host, proceed di-
for information and programming for the interface type the imager is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.
Configure Interface Settings
The imager is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the interface type you ordered. If after scanning the interface barcode from the
section, your installation requires you to select options to further customize your imager, turn to the appropriate section for your interface type as listed below:
•
RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 41
•
Keyboard Interface, starting on page 67
•
USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 81
•
IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 83
Configure Other Features
If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings, the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you might require:
—
General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and
LED indicators and other such universal settings.
—
Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies).
These settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.

Label Gone Timeout
Label Gone Timeout
This feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader prepares for a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT LABEL GONE TIMEOUT SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in
two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
NOTE
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See

Good Read LED Duration
This feature specifies the amount of time that the Good Read LED remains on following a good read. The good read LED on time can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to
2,550 milliseconds (0.001 to 2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. A setting of 0 means that the good read
LED stays on until the next time the trigger is pulled.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 000, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT GOOD READ LED DURATION SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad representing the
duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:
Trigger Single —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following occurs:
-

- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the maximum

Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same
label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated
until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again.

CAUTION
When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary userdefined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to
2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to
and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.

UPC/EAN Global Settings
UPC/EAN Global Settings
This section provides configuration settings for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN 13 and EAN 8 symbologies, and affects all of these unless otherwise marked for each feature description.
UPC/EAN Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

ly.
The length can be set from 1 to 74 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 74). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming

3. Scan the barcode: SELECT GS1 DataBar EXPANDED LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad , that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

Code 39 Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level
.

• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology.

Mode. Length includes the barcode’s check and data characters.
The length can be set from 2 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 2 to 50). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 11 LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad , that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
NOTE
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See

Code 11 Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

Appendix C
LED and Beeper Indications
The imager’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the imager. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the imager’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications, such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming barcode labels.
