TRIGGER MODES

 Level Mode - A trigger event activates decode processing, which continues until the trigger event ends, a valid decode, or the decode session time-out is reached. This scan mode is not available for scan module.   Presentation Mode - When the device detects an object in its field of view it triggers and attempts to decode. The range of object detection does not vary under normal lighting conditions. This applies to decode mode only. In this mode the unit does not enter its sleep state. Host Mode- A host command issues the triggering signal. The device interprets a trigger pull as a level triggering option. This scan mode is not available for scan module.

< Level Mode >

(Default for handheld scanners.)

< Presentation Mode >

(Default for Desktop and Fixed mount scan modules) Host Mode 8

POWER MODE

This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt. In low power mode, the decoder enters into a low power consumption mode to preserve battery life after each decode attempt. In continuous power mode, power remains on after each decode attempt. Continuous On

< Low Power Mode >

9

TIME DELAY TO LOW POWER MODE

This parameter sets the time the decoder remains active after decoding. The decoder wakes upon trigger pull or when the host attempts to communicate with the decoder. Note: 1. This parameter only applies when

Power Mode

is set to Low Power. 2. This setting is not available for scan module since it is always in presentation mode and its power is continuous on.

< 1 Second >

5 Seconds 1 Minute 5 Minutes 15 Minutes 1 Hour 10

DECODE SESSION TIMEOUT

This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds. To set a Decode Session Timeout, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two numeric bar codes from scan

Cancel barcode

.

Appendix D, Numeric Barcodes

that correspond to the desired on time. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example, to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, and then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To correct an error or change the selection, Decode Session Timeout

Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol

from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. This option is used in presentation mode to prevent multiple reads of a symbol left in the Device’s field of view. The timeout begins when the symbol is removed from the field of view. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments

The default interval is 0.4 seconds.

To select the timeout between decodes for the same symbol, scan the bar code below, then scan two numeric bar codes from

Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes

that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments. Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol 11

BEEP AFTER GOOD DECODE

Scan a bar code below to select whether or not the decoder issues a beep signal after a good decode. If selecting Do Not Beep after Good Decode, beeper signals are issued during parameter menu scanning and to indicate error conditions.

Signature Capture Bits per Pixel (BPP) Signature Capture Width Signature Capture Height Signature Capture JPEG Quality 8 BPP 400 100 65 Video View Finder Disable Video View Finder Image Size 1700 bytes The parameters in this section control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot. The decoder has three modes of operation: * Decode Mode * Snapshot Mode

Decode Mode

By default, upon a trigger event, the decoder attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The decoder remains in this mode as long as the trigger is active or until a bar code is decoded. 14

SNAPSHOT MODE

Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host. To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this mode the decoder blinks the orange LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode. In Snapshot Mode, the decoder turns on the laser aiming pattern to highlight the area to be captured in the image. The next trigger event instructs the decoder to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is activated and the image is captured as the decoder adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the decoder steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep. If a trigger event is not activated within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the device returns to Decode Mode. Use

Snapshot Mode Timeout

to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds. To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see

Snapshot Aiming Pattern

. Use

Video View Finder

to enable Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode. In this mode the decoder behaves as a video camera until the trigger is active, at which time a Snapshot is performed as described above. Snapshot Mode 15

DECODING AUTO EXPOSURE

Select Enable Auto exposure to allow the device to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation mode. Select Disable Auto exposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time. This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image capture situations.

< Enable Decoding Auto exposure >

Disable Decoding Auto exposure

DECODING ILLUMINATION

Selecting Enable Illumination causes the decoder to flash illumination on every image capture to aid decoding. Select Disable Illumination to prevent the decoder from using decoding illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

< Enable Decoding Illumination >

Disable Decoding Illumination 16

DECODE AIMING PATTERN

This parameter only applies when in Decode Mode. Select Enable Decode Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern during bar code capture, or Disable Decode Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off. (Default for handheld scanners.)

(Default for desktop and fixed mount module.)

IMAGE CAPTURE AUTO EXPOSURE

Select Enable Auto exposure to allow the decoder to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation mode. Select Disable Auto exposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time. This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image capture situations.

< Enable Image Capture Auto exposure >

Disable Image Capture Auto exposure 17

IMAGE CAPTURE ILLUMINATION

Selecting Enable Image Capture Illumination causes the decoder to flash on every image capture. Select Disable Illumination to prevent the decoder from using artificial illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

< Enable Image Capture Illumination >

Disable Image Capture Illumination 18

EXPOSURE TIME

This parameter is only available when Image Capture Auto exposure is disabled. Exposure Time controls the amount of time the CCD is allowed to collect light, much like the shutter speed for a camera. Generally, the brighter the environment is, the shorter the exposure time would be. Set the manual exposure time to one of the following values: 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms, or 30 ms. Increasing the exposure time past 20 ms in a handheld application increases the risk of blurring the image due to hand jitter. 5 ms

<10 ms>

15 ms 20 ms 30 ms 19

SNAPSHOT MODE TIMEOUT

This parameter sets the amount of time the decoder remains in Snapshot Mode. The decoder exits Snapshot Mode upon a trigger event, or when the Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the bar code below followed by a bar code from

Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes

example, 1 = 60 seconds, 2 = 90 seconds, etc. . The default value is 0 which represents 30 seconds; values increment by 30. For Snapshot Mode Timeout

SNAPSHOT AIMING PATTERN

Select Enable Snapshot Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern when in Snapshot Mode, or Disable Snapshot Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off.

< Enable Snapshot Aiming Pattern >

Disable Snapshot Aiming Pattern 20

IMAGE CROPPING

This parameter crops a captured image. If Disable Image Cropping is selected, the full 640 x 480 pixels are presented. If Enable is selected, the decoder crops the image to the pixel addresses set in

Crop to Pixel Addresses.

Enable Image Cropping

(Use Full 742 x 480 Pixels) 21

CROP TO PIXEL ADDRESSES

If Enable Image Cropping is selected, set the pixel addresses from (0, 0) to (639,479) to crop to. Columns are numbered from 0 to 639, rows from 0 to 479. Specify four values for Top, Left, Bottom, and Right, where Top and Bottom correspond to row pixel addresses, and Left and Right correspond to column pixel addresses. For example, for a 4 row x 8 column image in the extreme bottom-right section of the image set the following values: Top = 476, Bottom = 479, Left = 744, Right = 751 To set the pixel address to crop to, scan each Pixel Address bar code followed by three bar codes from 0, 3.

Chapter 5 Serial Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the decoder with a serial host. The serial interface is used to connect the decoder to point-of sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available serial port (e.g. com port). Note: The decoder uses TTL signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. System architectures that use RS-232C signal levels require a conversion circuitry. The serial host type requires proper configuration of the sysconfig lines, and typically require scanning bar code menus as part of initial configuration. Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen is sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging. 27

SERIAL PARAMETER DEFAULTS

The table below lists the defaults for serial host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Serial Host Parameters section. Note: See

Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters

for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters. Serial Host Default Table

Serial Host Parameters Parameter Default

Serial Host Types Baud Rate Parity Type Standard 9600 None Stop Bit Select Data Bits Check Receive Errors Hardware Handshaking Software Handshaking Host Serial Response Time-out RTS Line State Beep on Intercharacter Delay Nixdorf Beep/LED Options Ignore Unknown Characters 1 Stop Bit 8-Bit Enable None None 2 Sec Disable 0 msec Low RTS Normal Operation Send Bar Code 28

SERIAL HOST TYPES

To select a serial host interface, scan one of the following bar codes. Enable Serial Host (Standard RS232) *Scanning Enable Serial Host (No Variant) activates the serial driver, but does not change port settings (e.g., parity, data bits, handshaking). Selecting another serial host type bar code changes these settings. OPOS/JPOS 29

BAUD RATE

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the decoder's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.

< Baud Rate 9600>

Baud Rate 38,400 Baud Rate 57,600 Baud Rate 115,200 30

PARITY

A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Select

Odd parity

and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. Select

Even parity

and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. Select

None

when no parity bit is required. Odd Even

< None >

31

STOP BIT SELECT

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements. 2 Stop Bits

< 1 Stop Bit > DATA BITS

This parameter allows the decoder to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol. 7-Bit

< 8-Bit >

32

CHECK RECEIVE ERRORS

Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.

< Check For Received Errors >

Do Not Check For Received Errors 33

HARDWARE HANDSHAKING

The data interface consists of a serial port designed to operate either with or without the hardware 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 decoder reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the decoder waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the decoder sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost.    When the CTS line is de-asserted, the decoder asserts the RTS 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 (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the decoder sounds a transmit error, and discards the data. When data transmission is complete, the decoder de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character. The host should respond by negating CTS. The decoder 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 deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the decoder sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded. If the above communication sequence fails, the decoder 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. 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 decoder asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The decoder 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, the decoder waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the

 decoder issues an error indication and discards the data. RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the decoder asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The decoder waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the decoder issues an error indication and discards the data. The decoder 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 hardware 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 decoder expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the decoder transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the decoder issues an error indication and discards the data. The decoder waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the decoder does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs. ENQ: When this option is selected, the decoder 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 decoder 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 decoder transmission off until the decoder receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: XOFF is received before the decoder has data to send. When the decoder 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 decoder 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 decoder receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The decoder waits indefinitely for the XON. 36

< None >

INTERCHARACTER DELAY

This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.

< Minimum: 0 msec >

Low: 25 msec Medium: 50 msec High: 75 msec Maximum: 99 msec 40

IGNORE UNKNOWN CHARACTERS

Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the decoder. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character and then an error beep will sound on the decoder.

Chapter 6 USB Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the decoder with a USB host. The decoder connects directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required. Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Chapter 7 Symbologies

Introduction

This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. The device is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. There are two ways to change a parameter value:  Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory.  For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a “parameter send” command from the host system. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the

Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide

for detailed instructions for changing parameter values using this method. Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging. To return all features to default values, scan the

This feature allows the decoder to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a first character for later transmission. The leading space is not buffered. Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission in sequence of all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus transmission of the “triggering” symbol. See the following pages for further details. When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, all decoded Code 39 symbols are transmitted immediately without being stored in the buffer. This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend configuring the decoder to decode Code 39 symbology only. Buffer Code 39 (Enable)

While there is data in the transmission buffer, selecting Do Not Buffer Code 39 is not allowed. The buffer holds 200 bytes of information. To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission or clear the buffer. 92

Buffer Data

 To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 symbol must be read with a space immediately following the start pattern. Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the decoder issues a lo/hi beep to indicate successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see

Overfilling Transmission Buffer

.)   The decoder adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer. No transmission occurs.

Clear Transmission Buffer

 To clear the transmission buffer, scan the Clear Buffer bar code below, which contains only a start character, a dash (minus), and a stop character. The decoder issues a short hi/lo/hi beep.   The decoder erases the transmission buffer. No transmission occurs. Clear Buffer scan this command, be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1.

Transmit Buffer

There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer. 1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below.

Note: The Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character. In order to scan this command, be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1.

Overfilling Transmission Buffer

The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read results in an overflow of the transmission buffer:  The decoder indicates that the symbol was rejected by issuing three long, high beeps.  No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.

SECURITY LEVEL

The decoder offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN, and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application. 

Security Level 0

: This setting allows the decoder to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes. 

Security Level 1

: Select this option if misdecodes occur. This default setting should eliminate most misdecodes. 

Security Level 2

: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes. 

Security Level 3

: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against miss-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the decoder. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes. Security Level 0

< Security Level 1 >

Security Level 2 Security Level 3 132

INTERCHARACTER GAP SIZE

The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the decoder from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

MACRO PDF FEATURES

Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The decoder can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 Macro PDF symbols. Caution:

When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption.

When selecting this mode, enable Transmit Macro PDF Control Header. Also use the beeper and LED signals provided to ensure proper user feedback.  Pass through All Symbols: This transmits and decodes all Macro PDF symbols and performs no processing. In this mode the host is responsible for detecting and parsing the Macro PDF sequences. Use this mode when the decoder’s BEEPER_ON signal is not used to drive a beeper. In the other modes, some Macro PDF scanning sequences provide audible feedback only, so if BEEPER_ON is not used no user feedback is provided. All actions marked No Transmission provide no feedback unless the BEEPER_ON signal is used. By using Pass through All Symbols mode every user decode is transmitted to the host where the host software can provide the appropriate feedback.

Chapter 8 Miscellaneous Scanner Options

Introduction

This chapter includes commonly used bar codes to customize how data is transmitted to the host device. See

Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters

programming is not necessary. for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults. If the default values suit requirements, There are two ways to change a parameter value:  Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory.  For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a “parameter send” command from the host system. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging. To return all features to default values, scan the

Set Default Parameter

bar code. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are framed.

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Other parameters, such as Prefix Value, require scanning several bar codes. See each parameter for descriptions of this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. 138

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameter Defaults

FN1 SUBSTITUTION VALUES

The Wedge and USB HID Keyboard hosts support a FN1 Substitution feature. When enabled any FN1 character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code is substituted with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter Key). When using host commands to set the FN1 substitution value, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit keystroke value. See the ASCII Character Set table for the currently installed host interface for the desired value. To select a FN1 substitution value via bar code menus: 1. Scan the bar code below. Set FN1 Substitution Value 2. Look up the keystroke desired for FN1 Substitution in the ASCII Character Set table for the currently installed host interface. Enter the 4-digit ASCII Value by scanning each digit in

Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes

. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel. To enable FN1 substitution for USB HID keyboard, scan the Enable FN1 Substitution barcode. 143

TRANSMIT “NO READ” MESSAGE
