Getting Started

About the Reader

Advancements in the LED technology used in this reader significantly improve the illumination

of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency. Whether used in Single Trigger or

Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable han-

dling during extended periods of use.

See Interface Selection on page 11 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets by

model type.

Unpacking

Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If

any damage occurred during shipment, contact Technical Support on page 3.

KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its

original shipping container.

Product Reference Guide

Getting Started

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and communicating

with its host:

1. Install the Interface Cable

2. Select the Interface Type

3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)

4. Configure Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Install the Interface Cable

The reader cable connection is secured using the “clamshell” retainer referenced in the enlarged

area of Figure 1. Fit and clamp the retainer over the cable connector as shown in the illustra-

tion, then fully seat the cable assembly into the reader, aligning both the connector and the

retainer boss with their respective openings. Secure the captive screws.

RS-232 Serial Connection — Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to

the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not

support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply

(AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable con-

nector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

Setting Up the Reader

Other connection types are described below and illustrated in Figure 2.

USB Connection — Connect the reader to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct

USB cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 2.

IBM Connection — Connect the reader to the IBM port on the terminal/PC using the cor-

rect IBM cable. Reference Figure 2.

Keyboard Wedge Connection — The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from

the reader. Connect the female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the

keyboard port at the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 2.

Figure 2. Other Interface Connections

or...

Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The

connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors

may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader

remain the same.

NOTE

Programming

The reader is factory-configured with a set of default features standard. After scanning the inter-

face barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your

reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available in the corresponding

features section for your interface and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this

manual.

Product Reference Guide

Getting Started

Using the Programming Barcodes

This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your

reader. 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 reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to

scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enterProgramming Mode. Once the

reader 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 Program-

ming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence

described above. Please read the description and setting instruc-

tions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.

NOTE

Select the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to

Interfaces on page 11 for information and programming for the interface type the reader is

connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate bar-

code in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.

Configure Interface Settings

If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, your installation requires

you to select options to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your

interface type as listed below:

•

RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 47

Keyboard Interface, starting on page 73

USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 87

IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 89

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

—

General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and LED

indicators and other such universal settings.

Symbologies

—

Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies). These set-

tings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.

PowerScan^®PD7100 Corded

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or you’ve changed some options

and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings barcode

below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current

configuration.

Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the

reader for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

General Purpose Models (5 volt supply)

RS-232

RS-232 OPOS

USB

Keyboard Wedge

Retail Point of Sale Models (4 to 14 volt supply)

Configuring the Interface

Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface

type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corre-

sponding chapter in this manual (also listed in Table 1) to configure any desired settings

and features associated with that interface.

Unlike some other programming features and options, interface

selections require that you scan only one programming barcode

label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an

interface selection barcode.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state

when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired

while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The

scanner will change to a state that allows programming with bar-

codes.

To prevent a double read of the same label, the Double Read Timeout sets the minimum

time allowed between reads of labels of the same symbology and data. If the unit reads a

label and sees the same label again within the Double Read Timeout, the second read of

the label will be ignored. Double Read Timeout does not apply to scan modes that re-

quire a trigger pull for each label that is read.

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 millisec-

onds (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.

Scanning Features

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 fol-

lowing occurs:

- Scanning Active Time has elapsed

- 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 Scanning Active Time has elapsed.

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.

Double Read Timeout¹prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this

mode.

Flashing — The reader flashes on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is

controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the reader reads con-

tinuously, when Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.

Always On — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on.

If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read

Timeout¹prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Stand Mode — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on au-

tomatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the

reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout¹prevents undesired multiple

reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Object Sense — This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull

is required to activate the decoder.

data properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error.

Options are:

•

Disable

Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from

the host when a label is sent.

•

Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/

NAK when the host sends a command.

Data Editing

Data Editing Overview

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.

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 user-

defined 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

specific symbologies. Figure 3 shows the available elements you can add to a message

string:

Data Editing

Please Keep In Mind...

•

Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is

sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Fac-

tory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.

•

A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these set-

tings) across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).

You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back

cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.

Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the

output.

Global Prefix/Suffix

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode

data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 4.

Example: Setting a Prefix

In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned barcode data. In

this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.

3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.

4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex

value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’

character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from

Appendix E, Keypad.

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

Global Prefix/Suffix

5. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/

EXIT barcode to terminate the string.

6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.

7. The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned barcode data:12345

Resulting message string output: $12345

This option sets up to 20 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or any hex val-

ue from 00 to FF. To configure this feature, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to place the

unit in Programming Mode, then the “Set Global Prefix” or “Set Global Suffix,” barcode

followed by the digits (in hex) from the Alphanumeric characters in Appendix E, Key-

pad representing your desired character(s). If less than the expected string of 20 charac-

ters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to terminate the string. Reference the

section, Example: Setting a Prefix on page 96, for more information. Exit program-

ming mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again.

Global AIM ID

This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology

types.

NOTE

AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label

identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of

three characters as follows:

•

A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...

A code character (see the table below), followed by...

A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of

hex 0x01-0xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previ-

ous to or following the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is en-

abled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set

(see Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets on page 101) or individually per symbology (see Label

ID: Set Individually Per Symbology on page 103). If you wish to program the reader to

always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the pre-

vious feature Global AIM ID on page 98.

Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 17 shows the default set and

alternate set.

When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configura-

tion settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to the

standard factory defaults. Any customized configuration will be lost.

Label ID

Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology

To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.

2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE (Enable as Prefix) or AFTER (Enable

as suffix) by scanning the appropriate barcode in the section Label ID Control on

page 105. Reference Figure 6 for Label ID positioning options if multiple identi-

fication features are enabled.

3. Scan a barcode to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom

Label ID from the section Label ID Symbology Selection, starting on page 106.

4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will repre-

sent the Label ID for the selected symbology.

5. Turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the

equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you

wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex

characters as 3D. Turn to Keypad, starting on page 295 and scan the barcodes

representing the hex characters determined. For the example given, the characters

‘3’ and ‘D’ would be scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are provided in

Table 18.

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 barcode to exit Label ID entry.

7. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.

This completes the steps to configure a Label ID for a given symbology.

Case Conversion

This feature allows conversion of the case of all alphabetic characters to upper or lower

case.

Case conversion affects ONLY scanned barcode data, and does not

affect Label ID, Prefix, Suffix, or other appended data.

NOTE

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE

DEFAULT

Case Conversion = Disable (no case conversion)

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 char-

acter 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

112

PowerScan^®PD7100 Corded

Character Conversion

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 Appendix E, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex charac-

ters 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 Pro-

gramming Mode.

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 de-

coding 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.

When correlation is enabled, the barcode reader will combine label data from multiple

scans when decoding. Enabling correlation will help the scanner read labels that have

some spots and/or voids. It may also help read labels that have damaged areas. Enabling

correlation will also increase the chances that a label will be read incorrectly.

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 de-

coding 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.

This configuration item applies to Code 39 and Code 32.

Code 128 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 de-

coding 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.

Codabar 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 de-

coding 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.

The length must include at least one data character.

The length can be set from 3 to 50 characters.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired character length (from 3 to 50). Pad the number with lead-

ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Program-

Code 4 and Code 5 Common Configuration Items

The following options apply to both Code 4 and Code 5 symbologies.

Code 4 and 5 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 de-

coding 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.

This configuration item applies to Code 4 and Code 5.

that the reader’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 program-

ming barcode labels.
