About the Imager
Advancements in the LED technology used in this imager significantly improve the illu-
mination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency. Whether used in
Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the imager will help to
promote comfortable handling during extended periods of use.
The imager can communicate using the following interfaces:
RS-232 — The imager can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N)
RS-232 host.
RS-232 OPOS — This interface is used for OPOS/UPOS/JavaPOS systems.
Keyboard Wedge (KBW) — When connected using this interface, the host interprets
scanned data as keystrokes and supports several international keyboards (for the Win-
®
dows environment). See Country Mode on page 68 for a full listing.
USB — Select to communicate either by USB OEM, USB COM, USB Keyboard inter-
face or USB POS types by scanning the appropriate interface type barcodes available in
this manual. The default interface is USB-KBD for Wedge models (7230) and USB-
OEM for IBM models (7210).
IBM — IBM Port 5B or Port 9B are selectable interface options.
Unpacking
Check carefully to ensure the imager and any accessories ordered are present and undam-
aged. 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.

Getting Started
Setting Up the Imager
Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your imager up and commu-
nicating 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 imager kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable
for your installation. If not, contact Technical Support.
Seat the cable assembly into the imager, aligning both the connector, aligning the cable
clip with its opening as shown in the insert portion of Figure 1.
RS-232 Serial Connection — Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the im-
ager to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the ter-
minal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply imager power, use the
approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the
socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power
outlet.

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 imager
remain the same.
NOTE
Programming
The imager is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces sec-
tion, you can select other options and customize your imager through use of the instruc-
tions 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 imager. Some programming barcode labels, like the Standard Product Default Set-
tings 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 imager to be placed in Pro-
gramming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter-
Programming Mode. Once the imager 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 Programming Mode and return the imager 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 imager and its host, proceed di-
rectly to Interfaces on page 11 for information and programming for the interface type
the imager is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan
the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.
Configure Interface Settings
The imager is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces
section, your installation requires you to select options to further customize your imager,
turn to the appropriate section for your interface type as listed below:
•
•
•
•
RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 41
Keyboard Interface, starting on page 67
USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 81
IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 83
Configure Other Features
If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default set-
tings, 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 settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check
digit, etc.

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve changed some
options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Set-
tings barcode below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active in-
terface to the current configuration.
Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the
imager for the correct interface before scanning this label.

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.

Label Gone Timeout
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 lead-
ing zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming

Scanning Features
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 Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.
1
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 imager 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
Timeout1 prevents 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 Timeout1 prevents 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.

Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds
in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
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.

USB-OEM Device Usage
The USB-OEM protocol allows for the reader to be identified as one of two different
types of barcode scanners. Depending on what other scanners you may already have con-
nected to a USB-OEM POS, you may need to change this setting to enable all devices to
communicate.
Options are:
• Table Top Scanner
• Handheld Scanner
It may be necessary to switch device usage when connecting two
readers/scanners of the same type to a POS system.

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. Factory default settings
for data editing is typically set to NONE.
•
•
•
A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings)
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, Key-
pad.
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
5. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar-
code to terminate the string.

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 90, for more information. Exit program-
ming mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again.

Label ID
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 95) or individually per symbology (see Label
ID: Set Individually Per Symbology on page 98). 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 92.
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: 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 suf-
fix) by scanning the appropriate barcode in the section Label ID Control on page 100.
Reference Figure 6 for Label ID positioning options if multiple identification 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 101.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent 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 291 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.

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
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 exam-
ple. 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 characters
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
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.

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.

Code 11 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.

Code 11 Character Correlation
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.

Standard 2 of 5 Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Standard 2 of 5 Length Control.
Length 1 is the minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed
length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the barcode’s check and data charac-
ters.
The length can be set from 1 to 50 characters.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 50). Pad the number with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT STANDARD 2 OF 5 LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent
the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
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.

LED and Beeper Indications
The imager’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or er-
rors on the imager. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The tables
below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the
imager’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.
