About Your MK1000
Changing Scanning Modes
•
•
Modify the “scan mode” setting via the MK1000’s Configuration menu.
Send a host transmitted SSI (Simple Serial Interface) command, specifying which
scan pattern/scanning mode the MK1000 should use. For more information on this,
see Scan Engine Commands on page 5-14.
•
Scan a programming bar code (refer to Appendix C, Scanning Mode Programming
Bar Codes). Any changes made by scanning a programming bar code are in effect
until the unit is powered off. At the unit’s next power up, the scanner returns to its
default scan mode setting.
Scanning Guidelines
When scanning a bar code:
•
•
•
Keep the scan pattern parallel to the bar code’s rows.
Hold the bar coded item as still as possible.
Hold the bar code at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see
Specular Reflection on page 1-10).
•
Hold the bar coded item close for small bar codes, and farther away for large bar
codes.

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
Smart Raster
In Smart Raster operation, a trigger pull causes a single scan line pattern to appear. If the
target is a 1-D bar code, the scanner decodes the symbol. If the target bar code is a 2-D
bar code, the scanning patterns open up to a full, optimized raster pattern as soon as the
scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.
Single Scan Line Pattern
Open Raster Pattern
Horizontal Displacement (X - Axis)
Figure 1-3. Smart Raster Scanning Pattern
•
When using the raster pattern, if the pattern does not cover the top and bottom of
a 2D symbol, pull the scanner back until it does. Make sure the scan pattern
extends at least three quarters of an inch beyond the edges of the bar code.
3/4”
3/4”
Figure 1-4. Raster Pattern Expanded Over PDF-417 Symbol
•
If the vertical scan pattern is not high enough to cover a “tall” PDF-417 symbol,
move the bar code slowly down toward the bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam
horizontal to the rows, and then slowly back upward to the top. Alternatively, move
the bar code further away from the scanner until the scan pattern covers a larger
portion of the bar code in the vertical direction.

The scan beam does not have to be perfectly parallel with the top and bottom of
the symbol (up to a 4o tilt is permitted).
Be sure the symbol is in good condition.
Scanning Composite (2D) Bar Codes
a 2D symbol (CC-A, CC-B or CC-C).
When scanning a bar code:
•
•
•
Keep the scan pattern parallel to the 2D symbol’s rows.
Hold the bar code as still as possible.
Hold the bar coded item at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see
Specular Reflection on page 1-10).
•
•
Hold the scanner close for small bar codes, and farther away for large bar codes.
When using the single scan line pattern, aim the scan line at the middle of the 2D
portion. The scan pattern will open up to an optimized raster pattern and decode
both the 2D and 1D portion of the Composite Code.
Raster pattern will expand to decode
both portions
Aim the single scan line at the center of
the 2D portion

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
Specular Reflection
When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, they can “blind”
the scanner and make decoding difficult. This phenomenon is called specular reflection.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t
scan at too oblique an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the
scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
Side Views
Specular reflection.
Reflected beam is within
specular dead zone and
prevents decode.
No specular reflection.
Decode can occur.
Tilt Bar Code At Slight Angle (Up to 30°)
Figure 1-6. Avoiding Specular Reflection
When scanning a 1D bar code, there is only a small specular dead zone to avoid (+ 2o from
the direct laser beam). The specular dead zone is larger for scanning PDF-417 (+ 9o from
the direct laser beam). However, the scanner is not effective if its beams hit the bar code’s
surface at an angle greater than 30o from the normal to that surface.
Using the Display (LCD)
The MK1000 has a back lit 240 x 64 pixel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The display’s colors
are white on blue. The MK1000’s display can handle both text and graphics. The LCD’s
contrast is adjustable.

Communication Protocol Overview
The MK1000 is shipped with the PCK emulation communication protocol on-board.
The Symbol PCK emulation application* is a PCK9100/9140 emulator for the Symbol
MK1000. The Symbol PCK emulation application uses a proprietary command set
developed by Symbol Technologies for use with its Kiosk Scanning Solutions. The PCK
emulation application allows the MK1000 to behave like a Symbol PCK9100/9140 and
interact with PCK9100/9140 compatible applications on the host. For more information on
the PCK emulation application see Chapter 5, PCK Emulation.
Note:*The MK1000’s PCK emulation application is not compatible with
pre-existing PCK9142/9144/9130 applications.
Communication Interface Overview
Before establishing communications with the host you must determine which
communication interface to use. Your MK1000 may support up to four communication
interfaces. The four types of interfaces are listed in Table 3-1.
The number and type of communication interfaces your unit has is specified in its model
number. For a list of MK1000 model numbers and their supported onboard communication
interfaces see the Appendix F, Troubleshooting.

Change Host Config- PCK Configuration Menu Option 3
To select or change the settings for a particular host type, choose Change Host Config at
the PCK Configuration menu by scanning the "3" bar code located in the section Numeric
Bar Codes on page B-7.
This system displays a host configuration screen that matches the host type currently
selected. If it is inappropriate, scan the Cancel bar code to return to the main PCK
Configuration menu and scan the “2” bar code (Change Host Type) to set the correct host
type.
The host configuration screen displayed can be a Serial type (RS-232 or RS-485), or an
Ethernet host. If an Ethernet host, either a TCP/IP configuration or UDP/IP configuration
screen displays. Ensure this setting is correct. If not, correct it before you proceed. Both
host types (Serial and Ethernet) have two pages of parameters to set, and both are handled
similarly.

Configuring via the MK1000 Configuration Menu
Overview
The MK1000 can be configured for operation with PCK based applications using the
MK1000 Configuration menu. In addition, if running a custom application not based on PCK
emulation, the MK1000 Configuration menu is the only method for configuring the unit.
The MK1000 Configuration menu can be accessed locally using the MK1000 function
buttons, locally by scanning programming bar codes, or remotely via a Telnet client.
From the MK1000 Configuration menu all MK1000 parameters can be accessed except
the PCK communication interface (Change/Select Host Type), software handshaking, and
RS-485 Net ID. These parameters can only be accessed from the PCK Configuration
menu. For information on alternate methods of configuring the MK1000, see page 3-3.

From this screen it is possible to configure the
primary interface (Ethernet or Radio) that is used
for establishing a TCP/UDP/IP connection and
enabling DHCP mode. The primary interface is the
first device that is started when the protocol stack
begins operation. If both devices are enabled and
both have the same subnet, outgoing
communications are sent out by the primary
interface even though the incoming packets may
have arrived on the secondary interface. Therefore,
it is necessary to ensure that the two interfaces are
not setup on the same subnet. Configuring DHCP
mode enables DHCP upon startup for either or both
interfaces, if enabled.

PCK Emulation
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the MK1000 PCK emulation application.
The Symbol PCK emulation application* is a PCK9100/9140 emulator for the Symbol
MK1000. The application allows the MK1000 (wired or wireless) to connect to a host
computer and behave like a Symbol PCK9100/9140. The Symbol PCK emulation
application uses a proprietary command set developed by Symbol Technologies for use
with its Kiosk Scanning Solutions.
While running this application, the MK1000 can interact with PCK9100/9140 compatible
applications on the host. It receives commands and data from the host and displays them
on the MK1000’s screen.
The PCK emulation application has operating parameters that can be modified by the user.
The user can set these parameters using menu screens displayed on the MK1000, or they
can be preset in an "ini" style configuration file that can be loaded via FTP transfer.
Note:* The MK1000’s PCK emulation application is not compatible with
pre-existing PCK9142/9144/9130 applications.

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
Host to MK1000 Handshaking
ACK/NAK handshaking is supported for data sent from the host to the MK1000. If enabled,
the MK1000 ACKs or NAKs a data packet based on its format and the LRC being correct.
Because no error checking is performed on the data in the packet, the MK1000 ignores
invalid display commands within the packet and sends an ACK.
This increases the throughput of the system. The MK1000 can store incoming packets in
memory while performing commands in packets already received. This frees up the host to
do other things after sending a sequence of complex commands to the MK1000. The
MK1000 can store up to 25 packets (totaling up to 600 bytes) in memory before the queue
is full. When full, incoming packets are NAKed until space is available (if host to MK1000
ACK/NAK handshaking is enabled).
When the MK1000 is responding to a packet from the host, it waits a programmable
Turnaround Time after the last character is received before transmitting back to the host.
None
ACK. The EOT character is sent immediately after the LRC. Host handshaking is ignored.
ACK/NAK
ACK/NAK is the default software handshaking. The host verifies the LRC and responds
with an ACK or NAK. If no response is received within the Serial Response Time-out period
(2.0 seconds), a NAK is assumed and the MK1000 retransmits (see Example 4 - Host Not
Receiving Transmission on page 5-5.) Retransmission occurs up to three times. If a NAK
is received from the host, the MK1000 re-transmits immediately.
If ACK/NAK is disabled, the MK1000 transmits the data and assumes an ACK. The EOT is
sent immediately after LRC.
ENQ (RS-232 Only)
ENQ software handshaking is also supported for data sent to the host. The MK1000 waits
for an ENQ from the host before sending data. If the ENQ is not received within the Serial
Response Time-out period (2.0 seconds), the data is discarded.
ACK/NAK with ENQ
The MK1000 uses ACK/NAK handshaking to communicate with the host but does not
respond to the host until an ENQ is received.

PCK RS-485 Communication Protocol
When communicating via RS-485, the host computer must poll each MK1000 individually.
Therefore, each MK1000 has a unique address programmable by bar code menus. The
value of the address ranges from hex 30 (48 decimal) to hex 4F (79 decimal).
The poll command format is:
<EOT> <ADDR> <ENQ>
The host and the MK1000 communicate with each other using the following packet format:
<SOH> <ADDR> <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC>
If the MK1000 is polled and has no data, it responds with an EOT character.
The same ACK/NAK protocol used for RS-232 is used for RS-485 communication.

Message Commands
A message is composed of display commands and text to be displayed. Commands are
executed in the same manner as host commands. The MK1000 has four default messages
(see Table 5-4 on page 5-10) that can be replaced using the Resource Manager to create
messages with the same ID numbers.
The following commands display user-defined messages, and send messages to store in
RAM.
Table 5-7. Message Commands
Message
Syntax
Description
Display Stored
Messages
ESC[PiJ
Message number Pi is displayed after the
current packet, and pending packets are
processed. Messages stored in RAM
override any messages from Resource
files with the same ID. Messages in RAM
or from Resource files override default
messages. Be sure messages do not call
each other recursively. A message called
from another is not displayed until the first
message is done. Approximately 10
messages waiting to be displayed can be
stored. Commands from the host are also
stored.
Store Message
ESC[PiK <Message Text>
The MK1000 stores everything in the
packet following this command as a
message with ID number Pi. This
message can be displayed using the
Display Stored Message command
above. Up to 50 messages of up to 20
characters each may be stored. The
message may contain any text or
commands the MK1000 supports,
including commands to display bitmaps,
change fonts, etc.
Flush Stored Messages ESC[I
This command deletes all messages
stored in RAM.

Button Press - Event Notification
When one of the MK1000 function buttons is depressed, a string is sent to the host where
<Keypad digit, 1 through 4> is the number of the button pressed. For example, "BTN4" is
sent to the host when the right most button, ‘4’, is pressed. This event notification must be
surrounded by the normal framing characters used by the PCK emulation firmware (which
are dependent on communications type described in Table 5-2 on page 5-3).

Pass Through Scanner Commands
A special "ParamSend" escape sequence is available in the PCK emulation application to
allow "pass through" scanner programming commands. These scanner commands consist
of the "PARAM_SEND" programming group as defined in the Simple Serial Interface (SSI)
Programmer’s Guide, 72-40451-xx, along with the SE3223 scanner parameter values as
defined in the SE 2223/3223 Scan Engine Integration Guide, 70-36636-xx. The MK1000
"ParamSend" escape sequence, along with the scanner parameter data, allows complete
customization of the scanner’s operational behavior.
Note:Parameter changes can be issued singly or in groups. Group
changes are recommended.
The general format of the ParamSend message is:
<ESC>[255s<0xC6><0x04><0x00><0xFF><Parameter><ParamData>
Where:
<ESC>
[255s
= The Escape control character, 0x1B.
= The MK1000 ParamSend command string.
= The SSI_PARAM_SEND command byte. Required.
= Data from the host. Required.
<0xC6>
<0x04>
<0x00>
= The status byte. The value 0 indicates that this is a temporary parameter
change. You MUST have this and it must be set to zero. Parameter
changes are only effective until the MK1000 is rebooted.

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
<0xFF>
= The beep code. The scanner’s beeper output is not monitored. 0xFF
indicates no beep, and it should be set to 0xFF.
<Parameter> = Any valid SSI ParamSend value.
<ParamData> = Any valid SSI ParamSend data value.
Redirecting Data To The Serial Port
ESC[B<Data For Auxiliary Port> redirects data to the Serial port. All data following this
command up to the end of the current packet is sent out the auxiliary port. Data is sent "as
is" without processing, except for the Shift Out/In control codes, to allow the host to send
all 256 possible codes to the auxiliary port.
Note:When the MK1000 is running in PCK emulation mode, data received
on the Auxiliary port is sent to the host. It is sent in packets, up to a
maximum of 128 bytes, as the data is received. It is framed
according to the current Software Handshaking Type setup in the
unit.
Beep Commands
ESC[PbS sounds the beeper.
Pb is the beep code parameter that is, the beep code value specified in ASCII digits (see
the table below).

A PING command can be used to
confirm ethernet communication
between the host computer and
MK1000.
- From the Command / DOS prompt,
type Ping followed by the MK1000
IP address, and then press Enter.
The command looks like the
following: "Ping 192.168.0.1". In this
example, 192.168.0.1 is the
MK1000’s IP address. For
instructions on how to determine
your MK1000’s IP address see the
troubleshooting topic # 9. How do I
determine the MK1000’s IP

-
A successful PING (proving
communication exists) results in
a message like, "reply from

RECEIVED.
-
An unsuccessful PING (proving
communication does not exist)
results in a message like,
"request timed out" or
"Destination Host Unreachable".
In addition, PING statistics will

Code Length
Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop
characters, not including those characters.
Continuous Code
A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts
of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code.
The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Dead Zone
An area within a scanner’s field of view, in which specular reflection
may prevent a successful decode.
Decode
To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then
analyze the content of the specific bar code scanned.
Decode Algorithm
A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data
representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code
symbol.
Depth of Field
Discrete Code
Discrete 2 of 5
The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a
scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum element width.
A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters
(intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code.
A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group
of five bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the
group determines which character is encoded; spaces are
insignificant. Only numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP
characters may be encoded.
EAN
European Article Number. This European/International version of the
UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards.
Element dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in
retail.
Element
Generic term for a bar or space.
Encoded Area
Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern,
including start/stop characters and data.
ENQ (RS-232)
Flash Memory
Host Computer
ENQ software handshaking is also supported for the data sent to the
host.
Flash memory is responsible for storing the system firmware and is
non-volatile, if the power is interrupted in the system.
A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing such
services as computation, database access, supervisory programs,
and network control.

IEC
International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency
regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes
based on power output during operation.
IEC (825) Class 1
This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is
ensured through a software restriction of 120 seconds of laser
operation within any 1000 second window and an automatic laser
shutdown if the scanner’s oscillating mirror fails.
Intercharacter Gap
The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete
code.
Interleaved Bar
Code
A bar code in which characters are paired together, using bars to
represent the first character and the intervening spaces to represent
the second.
Interleaved 2 of 5
A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups
of five bars and five interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides for
greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/
spaces) within each group determines which characters are encoded.
This continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces. Only
numeric (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.
LASER - Light
Amplification by
Stimulated
The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same
frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb. Laser light is
typically coherent and has a high energy density.

over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal).
Parameter
A variable that can have different values assigned to it.
Percent Decode
The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result
in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar code scanning system,
that probability should approach near 100%.
Print Contrast
Signal (PCS)
Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars
and spaces of a symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar
code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is the
reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of
the dark bars.
Programming Mode The state in which a scanner is configured for parameter values. See
SCANNING MODE.
Quiet Zone
A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start
character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character.
