PowerScan 7000

Chapter 1

Getting Started

The PowerScan 7000 Linear Imager marks a new performance level for

handheld scanners. It delivers aggressive read rates and depths of field on

1D and stacked codes. This aggressiveness applies even in challenging

reading environments where low lighting conditions and poor quality

might make it difficult to read bar codes. You can rest assured your

investment will continue to supply years of use by reading any bar codes

you require, now or in the future.

Designed for today’s demanding commercial and industrial environ-

ments, the scanner offers superior image quality, speed, durability, and

the ability to read poor quality bar codes. The unit is comfortable to

hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for the most demanding applica-

tions.

About This Manual

This Product Reference Guide (PRG) provides programming instruc-

tions for the scanner, plus product specifications and dimensions. For

installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information,

see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of other publications for

this product are downloadable free of charge from the PSC website listed

on the back cover of this manual.

The scanner is factory programmed for the most common terminal and

communications settings. If you need to change these settings, program-

ming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

Bold text and a yellow-highlighted background indicates the most com-

mon default setting for a feature/option.

Getting Started

Manual Conventions

The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of

key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the scanner:

Notes contain information necessary for prop-

erly diagnosing, repairing and operating the

scanner.

NOTE

The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions

that could damage equipment or property.

CAUTION

Connecting the Scanner

Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the scanner to the ter-

minal, PC or other host device. The scanner kit you ordered to match

your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation.

The scanner 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 illustration, then fully seat the

cable assembly into the scanner, aligning both the connector and the

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

Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instruc-

tions below, proceed to the Interface Related Features section of this man-

ual and scan the bar code to select the correct interface type.

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

and connect the scanner 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 scanner power, use the approved power sup-

ply (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.

from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the

terminal/PC. Reference Figure 2.

Programming

The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features

standard to the interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface

bar code from the Interface Related Features section, you can select other

options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and

programming bar codes available in that section and also the Data Editing

and Symbologies chapters of this manual.

Resetting the Standard Product

Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or

you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan

the Standard Product Default Settings bar code below. This will copy the

factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current

configuration.

Standard Product Default Settings

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the

menu commands (indicated by shaded blocks and bold text) on the fol-

lowing pages.

Scanning Features

Scan Mode

Selects the scan operating mode for the scanner. Selections are:

•

Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until

five seconds have elapsed or a bar code has been read or the trigger

is released

•

Triggerless — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated

until any of the following occur:

- Active Scanning Time has expired

- a bar code has been read

- the trigger is pulled a second time

The Double Read Timeout feature gates double reads while in this

mode.

•

Stand — No trigger pull is required to read a bar code while in this

mode. Scanning is turned on automatically (auto-sense) when an

item is placed in the scanner's field of view and is turned off again

when a bar code is read or Active Scanning Time has expired. The

Double Read Timeout feature gates double reads while in this mode.

If the trigger is pulled, the scanner acts as if it is in single read

mode.

Upon exiting Single Read mode while Stand Mode

is enabled, the software will delay 2 seconds

before beginning its auto-sense operation.

NOTE

•

Stand With Illumination — Same as the option above, except that

illumination is on while in this mode.

RS-232 Interface Features — cont.

Hardware Flow Control

Disable Hardware Control — The scanner transmits to the host regardless of

any activity on the CTS line.

Enable CTS Flow Control — The CTS signal controls transmission of data

to the host.

Enable CTS Scan Control — The CTS line must be active for the scanner to

read and transmit data. While the CTS line is inactive, the scanner

remains in a host-disabled state; following a successful label transmis-

sion, the CTS signal must transition to inactive and then to active to

enable scanning for the next label.

Intercharacter Delay

This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted. If the trans-

mission speed is too high, the system may not be able to receive all char-

acters. You may need to adjust the delay to make the system work

properly.

Software Flow Control

Disables/Enables software control using XON/XOFF characters.

RS-232 Interface Features — cont.

Host Echo

When enabled, this feature passes all data through the scanner to the

host as it comes in. This feature is used for applications where “daisy

chaining” of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for

example, one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is

entering data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code

requiring transmission to the host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232

channel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set via RS-232 Host Echo

Quiet Interval). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before send-

ing its data in order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.

Host Echo Quiet Interval

This setting specifies the time interval of RS-232 channel inactivity

which must transpire before the scanner will break the host echo loop to

transmit the bar code data that has just been scanned to the host.

Signal Voltage: Normal/TTL

Specifies whether the RS-232 interface provides TTL levels on the out-

put pins TxD and RTS.

RS-232 Invert

Enables/disables inversion of RS-232 TXD and RXD signals.

an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and sends “NAK” when the

data is in error. Selections for this option are:

•

Disable

Enable for label transmission — the scanner expects an ACK/NAK

response from the host when a label is sent

Data Editing

Data Editing Overview

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM

or Wand Emulation interfaces.

CAUTION

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the

host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar

code 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 4-1 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 out-

put for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is

typically set to NONE.

•

A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chap-

ter for these settings) across all symbologies (set via the Global fea-

tures 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 bar code data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code

data) as indicated in Figure 4-2.

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

bar code data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a pre-

fix.

2. Scan the START bar code.

3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.

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

to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corre-

sponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this

selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix C,

Alpha-Numeric Pad.

5. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

If less than the expected string of 20 characters are

selected, scan the END bar code twice to accept the

selections and exit Programming Mode.

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to two ASCII characters (00-

FF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended

previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon

how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring

custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program

the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for

ALL symbology types, see the previous feature, AIM ID.

To configure a Label ID:

1. Scan the START bar code.

2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scan-

ning the appropriate bar code.

3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to con-

figure a custom Label ID.

4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose either one or

two) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology.

Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this man-

ual 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.

5. Turn to Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes rep-

resenting the hex characters determined in the previous step. For

the example given, the characters ‘0’, ‘0’, ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be

scanned. The two zeros scanned (‘0’, ‘0’) represent a selection of

“no character,” since this option allows for two Label ID charac-

ters. (Pad with zeros to enter four hex characters.)

6. Scan the END bar code 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 character that will be converted. The sec-

ond 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 char-

acter pairs, since they are all FF.

To set Character Conversion:

1. Scan the START bar code.

2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.

3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be deter-

mined 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 C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes rep-

resenting the hex characters determined in the previous step.

5. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

If less than the expected string of 16 characters are

selected, scan the END bar code twice to accept the

selections and exit Programming Mode.

NOTE

Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
