The LS 400Xi Scanner
Scanning Made Easy
Symbol Technologies, the world leader in hand-held laser scanning, now offers 21st century
technology while maintaining compatibility with today’s existing systems. The LS 400Xi
hand-held laser scanner offers the best performance in retail and light industrial applications.
Advanced ergonomic design ensures comfortable use for extended periods of time.
The LS 400Xi hand-held laser scanner offers the best performance in retail and light
industrial applications. It uses a 650nm laser diode for improved scan line visibility, and has
a scan rate of approximately 100 scans/second. These factors make the LS 400Xi even more
aggressive than ever on 1-D bar codes, and also offer the added dimension of entry level PDF
scanning.
The LS 400Xi is intended for applications where 1-D scanning is a priority, with an
occasional need to scan PDF symbols. The product is ideal for applications such as point-of-
sale where the majority of scanning is items with UPC or EAN/JAN bar codes, with an
occasional scan of a PDF symbol on a courtesy card, a coupon, etc.

Scanning 1-D Bar Codes
To scan a 1-D bar code:
1. Make sure all connections are secure, and the symbol you want to scan is within the
scanning range (refer to Technical Specifications on page 4-2).
2. Aim the scanner at the symbol and press the trigger. The scanning beam remains on
for approximately 3.0 seconds (default) or until a successful decode.
The scanner has read the symbol when:
t
t
You hear a short, high tone beep (if the beeper is enabled).
The yellow LED on the rear of the scanner turns green.
The green LED stays lit for two seconds or until the next trigger pull.

Hold the scanner further away for larger bar codes.
Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Right
Wrong
012345
012345
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 strong light can “blind”
the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known
as a “dead zone.”
You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and still achieve a successful decode
(Figure 3-1.) Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Scanning PDF417 (2-D) Bar Codes
Before scanning a PDF bar code, enable PDF417 scanning by using the parameter bar code
in ENABLE PDF417 on page 5-75.
1. Aim the scanner at the PDF bar code and press the trigger.
2. Hold the trigger down and keep the scan line parallel to the rows of the symbol.
3. Manually raster the scan line by slowly moving the scanner up and down so it scans
the entire bar code.
If PDF Decode Feedback is enabled, an audible feedback “clicking” lets you know the bar
code is being decoded. If this parameter is enabled but there’s no clicking noise when you’re
scanning the bar code, it’s not being scanned properly.
t
t
Check that PDF417 scanning is enabled.
Make sure the scan line extends at least 1/2” past the left and right edges of the bar
code.
t
t
t
Hold the scanner closer for denser symbols, farther away for larger symbols.
Make sure you scan the top and bottom rows of the symbol.
Be patient - it may take a few swipes to decode the symbol.
The bar code has been completely decoded when you hear a tone, followed by a short, high
tone beep. The yellow LED on the rear of the scanner turns green. The green LED stays lit
for two seconds or until the next trigger pull.

Parameter Menus
The LS 400Xi is shipped with the settings shown in the Default Table on page 5-2. These
default values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is
included in this manual. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. The
default parameter values can be recalled by scanning the SET ALL DEFAULTS bar code on
page 5-7.
Note: The ability to scan PDF417 bar codes is not enabled by default. You
ENABLE PDF417 bar code on page 5-75.
Even if the default parameters suit your needs, you must still select a terminal type. The
scanner automatically identifies the host type on power-up (provided the host is powered-up
before the scanner is attached to it). You must then select the appropriate terminal type for
that host. For example, if the scanner is connected to an IBM 4683, after you hear the power-
up beeps, select the proper port from the choices on page 5-8. The same applies to all other
host types.

UPC/EAN Security Level
The LS 400Xi offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels
of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse
relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level
of security necessary for any given application.
UPC/EAN Security Level 0
This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state,
while providing sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.
UPC/EAN SECURITY LEVEL 0
UPC/EAN Security Level 1
As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before
others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing misdecodes of poorly printed bar codes, and
the mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.

If you are experiencing misdecodes of poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not
limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
UPC/EAN SECURITY LEVEL 2
UPC/EAN Security Level 3
If you have tried Security Level 2, and are still experiencing misdecodes, select this security
level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out
of spec bar codes. Selection of this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability
of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, you should try to improve the quality of
your bar codes.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)
When you select the scan and store option, all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a
first character are temporarily buffered in the unit to be transmitted later. 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 scan and transmit option is selected, decoded Code 39 symbols without leading
spaces are transmitted without being stored in the buffer.
Scan and Store affects Code 39 decodes only. If you select scan and store, we recommend that
you configure the scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.

Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of an RS-232C port. The port has been 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 selected, scan data is transmitted according to the
following sequence:
t
The controller reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the controller waits
up to 2 seconds for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after 2 seconds (default), the
CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and any scanned data
is lost.
t
When the CTS line is negated, the controller asserts the RTS line and waits up to 2
seconds for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted.
If, after 2 seconds (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a
transmit error and discards the data.
t
t
When data transmission is complete, the controller negates RTS 10 msec after
sending the last character.
The host should respond by negating CTS. The controller checks for a negated 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 scanner sounds a
transmission error, and the data is discarded.
If the above communications 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.
Note: The DTR signal is jumpered active.

RTS/CTS O ption 2
When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level).

ACK/NAK
When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or
NAK response from the host. Whenever a NAK is received, the scanner 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 scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.
ACK/NAK
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 2 seconds, the scanner issues an error
indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every 2
seconds to prevent transmission errors.
ENQ
ACK/NAK with ENQ
This combines the two previous options.

XO N/XO FF
An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON
character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
t
XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to
send, it then waits for an XON character before transmission. The scanner waits up
to 2 seconds to receive the XON. 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 indefinitely for the XON.

Host Serial Response Time-out
This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before
determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the

UCC/EAN-128
UCC/EAN-128 is a convention for printing data fields with standard Code 128 bar code
symbols. UCC/EAN-128 symbols are distinguished by a leading FNC 1 character as the first
or second character in the symbol. Other FNC 1 characters are used to delineate fields.
When EAN-128 symbols are read, they are transmitted after special formatting strips off the
leading FNC 1 character and replaces other FNC 1 characters with the ASCII 29 GS control
character.
When AIM symbology identifiers are transmitted, the modifier character indicates the
position of the leading FNC 1 character according to AIM guidelines. For example, ]c1
indicates a UCC/EAN-128 symbol with a leading FNC1 character.
Standard Code 128 bar codes which do not have a leading FNC 1 may still be used but are
not encoded according to the EAN-128 convention. Standard Code 128 and UCC/EAN-128
may be mixed in an application. The LS 400Xi autodiscriminates between these symbols,
and can enable or disable one or both code types via bar code menus. Table A-1 indicates
the behavior of the LS 400Xi in each of the four possible parameter settings.
