LED and Beeper Indications

The scanner’s beeper sounds and its two-color LED illuminates to indicate various functions or

errors on the scanner. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors

listed in the tables is that the scanner’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 bar code labels.

Operation

Scanning

To scan a bar code:

1. Install and program the scanner (See “Setting Up the Scanner” on page 6.). For

assistance, contact Technical Support.

2. Ensure all connections are secure. (See the host chapter for the scanner.)

3. Aim the scanner at the bar code.

4. If the scanner is in Trigger Single Mode, press the trigger button. (In Stand Mode, no trig-

ger button press is required. The scanner laser is in constant ON mode.)

not required.

5. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED flashes green. (For more informa-

tion about beeper and LED definitions, see Table 1 and Table 2.)

The width of the scan line is dependent upon the current setting for

the programmable feature, Scan Line Width. “Full” (the default set-

ting) or “Medium” scan line widths are available.

NOTE

Aiming

For a typical, full-sized UPC label, the scanner should be held between 1” and 7” from the bar

code. Ensure that the scan line crosses the entire bar code as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Correct and Incorrect Aiming

012345

The scan line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the bar code and grows when the scanner is

drawn away from the bar code. For best results, hold the scanner closer to bar codes with very

small bars or elements (mil size) and pull the scanner further away from labels having larger bars

or elements (mil size).

QuickScan^®L

Aiming

Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code when scanning. Laser light reflecting

directly back into the scanner from the bar code can result in specular reflection, which can in

turn cause difficulties with decoding. Tilt the scanner to avoid the dead zone (indicated by an

‘X’ in Figure 6) up to 65 degrees upwards or downwards.

General Features

User Preferences

User preferences for the general features listed in this chapter can be selected using the

programming bar codes that accompany each feature description. To set feature values,

scan a single programming bar code or a short bar code sequence as instructed for each

feature. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the

scanner is powered down.

Typically, a scanner ships with the settings shown in User General Feature Defaults

on page 20 (also see Appendix B, Standard Defaults for all host defaults). If the de-

fault values suit requirements, programming may not be necessary.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host infor-

mation) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up

when connecting to a new host.

To return all features to their default values, reference the topic, Return to Factory De-

faults. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with

asterisks (*).

*High Frequency

Feature/Option

* Indicates Default

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the

beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code on page 19. The

scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful param-

eter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, re-

quire the scanning of a sequence of bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this

procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, when an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-

scan the correct feature bar code(s).

The scanner can be reset using one of two default settings: factory defaults or custom de-

faults. Scan the appropriate bar code(s) below to reset the scanner to its default settings

and/or set the scanner’s current settings as the custom default.

Set Factory Defaults — Scan the Set Factory Defaults bar code below to eliminate all

custom default values and return the scanner to factory default values. (For factory de-

fault values, see Appendix B, Standard Defaults.)

Write to Custom Defaults — Custom default parameters can be configured to set

unique default values for all parameters. After changing all parameters to the desired de-

fault values, scan the Write to Custom Defaults bar code below to configure custom de-

faults.

This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt.

When in reduced power mode, the scanner enters low power consumption mode after

each decode. When in continuous power mode, power remains on after each decode.

*Continuous On

Reduced Power Mode

Scan Mode

This parameter determines whether the scanner is in Trigger Single Mode or Stand Mode.

In Trigger Single Mode, the scanner trigger button must be pressed to decode each

scanned bar code. In Stand Mode, the scanner laser is in constant ON state and no trigger

button press is required to scan a bar code.

Depending upon which mode the scanner currently is in, scan the “Toggle Scan Mode”

to switch from Trigger Single to Stand Mode, or from Stand Mode to Trigger Single Mode.

The standard default setting for this feature is Trigger Single Mode.

While in the Stand Mode of operation, if the scanner has not been used for several min-

utes it will shift to low power operation, signalled by a narrowing of the scanning beam.

When in low power mode, the scanner will respond to a barcode and come back to nor-

mal Stand Mode operation upon seeing/reading the label.

If the scanner has been idle for an extended configurable period , it will timeout, then

enter sleep mode with the scanning beam turned off. To wake the scanner from sleep

mode, press the trigger button.

Stand Mode Timeout Period

The Timeout Period for the transition from low power to sleep mode can be set to one

of the following durations:

•

Laser On Time

This parameter sets the maximum time that decode processing continues during a scan

attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The de-

fault Laser On Time is 3.0 seconds.

To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next, scan the two numeric bar codes

from Appendix E, Keypad, that correspond to the desired On Time. Single digit num-

bers must be padded with a leading zero. For example, to set an On Time of 0.5 seconds,

scan the bar code below, then scan the “0” and “5” bar codes. If an error is made, or the

selection needs to be changed, scan Cancel on page 166.

RS-232

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an RS-232 host. The RS-232 in-

terface is used to connect the scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other

devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).

If the host is not listed in Table 6, refer to the documentation for the host device to set

communication parameters to match the host.

The scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which will interface with most

system architectures.

RS-232 Host Parameters

Hardware Handshaking

The data interface consists of an RS-232 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 accord-

ing to the following sequence:

•

The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to

Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial

Response Time-out, the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and

any scanned data is lost.

•

When the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner 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, the CTS line is not asserted, the

scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.

•

When data transmission is complete, the scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the

last character.

The host should respond by negating CTS. The scanner 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 de-asserted

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 communication 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.

The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.

NOTE

•

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 scanner asserts RTS

before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the

transmission is complete.

RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-pro-

grammed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmit-

ting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues

an error indication and discards the data.

Product Reference Guide

RS-232

Hardware Handshaking — cont.

•

RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data

transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response

Time-out for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner

issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when trans-

mission is complete.

RS-232 Host Parameters

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 scanner expects

either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner

transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccess-

ful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication

and discards the data.

The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an

ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indica-

tion and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.

•

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 the Host Serial Response

Time-out, the scanner 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 trans-

mission 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 scanner transmission off until the scanner

receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:

- XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to

send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before trans-

mission. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indica-

tion 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 up to 30 seconds for the XON.

Chapter 7

Keyboard Wedge Interface

This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the scanner. With

this interface, the scanner is connected between the keyboard and host computer, and

translates bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if

they originated from the keyboard. This mode adds bar code reading functionality to a

system designed for manual keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply passed

through.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks

(*).

ASCII Character Set for Keyboard Wedge

Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preced-

ing a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For

example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is inter-

preted as b, %J as ?, and %V as @. Scanning ABC%I outputs the keystroke

equivalent of ABC >.

Chapter 9

Symbologies

Introduction

This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for

selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 2, Get-

ting Started.

The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in Table 23 on page 96 (also see Appen-

dix B, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default

values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.

To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are

stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered

down.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host infor-

mation) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up

when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan the appropriate default bar code on page 21.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks

(*).

Feature/Option

* Indicates Default

*Enable UPC-A

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit

bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-

A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 104. The scanner

issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, require scanning several bar codes.

See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

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

the correct parameter.

Symbology Parameter Defaults

Table 23 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change any option, scan the

appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Symbologies Parameters section beginning on

page 99.

gies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals

Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g.,

UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). Six options are available.

•

If Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN bar codes

without supplementals are not decoded.

If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN/

JAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN/JAN is decoded and the supplemental bar

code is ignored.

•

An Autodiscriminate Option is also available. If this option is selected, choose an appro-

priate value from the next page. A value of 5 or more is recommended.

Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes

starting with a ‘378’ or ‘379’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/

EAN/JAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon

decode.

•

Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting

with a ‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are

exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon their decode.

Set Lengths for Code 39

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters),

including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or

two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled,

Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.

When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit

numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.

NOTE

•

One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 39 bar codes containing a

selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad.

For example, to decode only Code 39 bar codes with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One

Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or change the selection,

scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad.

Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 39 bar codes contain-

ing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appen-

dix E, Keypad. For example, to decode only those Code 39 bar codes containing either 2

or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then

verify that the data complies with specified check digit algorithm. Only Code 39 bar

codes which include a modulo 43 check digit are decoded. Enable this feature if the Code

39 bar codes contain a Modulo 43 check digit.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)

This feature allows the scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 bar codes.

Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39

bar codes having a leading space as a first character for later transmission. The leading

space is not buffered.

Decode of a valid Code 39 bar code with no leading space causes transmission in se-

quence of all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus transmission of the “trigger-

ing” bar code. See the following pages for further details.

When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, all decoded Code 39 bar codes

are transmitted immediately without being stored in the buffer.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)

This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend configur-

ing the scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.

Buffer Code 39

(Enable)

*Do Not Buffer Code 39

(Disable)

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 (see Transmit Buffer on page 119) or clear the buffer.

Buffer Data

To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 bar code must be read

with a space immediately following the start pattern.

- Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the scanner issues a low/high beep to

indicate successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see Overfilling

Transmission Buffer on page 120.)

- The scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission

buffer.

- No transmission occurs.

Clear Transmission Buffer

Because the Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character, set the

Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code.

NOTE

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 scanner issues a short high/low/high beep.

- The scanner erases the transmission buffer.

- No transmission occurs.

Transmit Buffer

Because the Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character, set the Code

39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code.

NOTE

There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer.

1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below which contains only a start character, a plus (+),

and a stop character.

- The scanner transmits and clears the buffer.

- The scanner issues a low/high beep.

2. Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space.

- The scanner appends new decode data to buffered data.

- The scanner transmits and clears the buffer.

- The scanner signals that the buffer was transmitted with a low/high beep.

- Scanner transmits and clears the buffer.

is disabled while the scanner is disabled. Once the command is accepted and implement-

ed by the scanner, the green indicator LED flashes to indicate the disabled status. This

state is cleared if:

1) an Enable Command is sent

2) a Reset Command is sent

3) power is cycled to the scanner.

Enable Scanner Command (ASCII 'E') — places the scanner in an normal operational

mode in which the scanner will accept barcode label data input from the scan optics.

Reset Scanner Command (ASCII 'R') — performs a scanner reset operation. Any bar-

code data the scanner may be holding in buffers is discarded.

Good Read Beep Command (ASCII 'B') — causes the scanner to sound one Good

Read Beep tone if scanner and Good Decode Beep are both enabled.

Force Beep Command (Hex '01') — forces the scanner's beeper to sound one Good

Read Beep tone regardless of, and overriding, any other current scanner setting.
