2-2-2 Scan window positioning

Note:
1) The scan window is transparent, thickness=1.0~2.0 mm. (Recommended)
2) The scan window should be high transparent & non-colored glass.
3) The scan window makes it parallel to the scanning platform (without tilting), and the greater the tilt angle, the
worse the reading performance is.
4) The scan window is placed as close as possible to the scanning platform. The recommended distance (A = 0 mm)
is that the farther the window is, the worse the reading performance is.

3 Parameter menus

3-1 Introduction
This section describes the programmable parameters, to change the parameter values.
Refer to 3-2 Example 1: Single-parameter setting by scanning 1D barcodes and 3-3 Example 2:
Multiple-parameter setting by scanning a QR code barcode, scan the appropriate barcodes
included in this section, The new values replace the existing values.
To set the new values as custom default settings, scan the Write to Custom Defaults barcode.
The factory default settings or custom default settings can be recalled by scanning appropriate
barcodes, refer to 10 Return default parameters & firmware version.
Send parameters through the TTL-level RS-232 or USB virtual COM interface. Instructions of
programming and querying the embedded scanner are described in 4-1 Programming command
syntax.

8
3-2 Example 1: Single-parameter setting by scanning 1D barcodes
Important notes:
1. After each successful programming, the embedded scanner will beep twice.
2. Throughout the programming barcode menus, the factory default settings are indicated with asterisks
(*).

Two programming modes have been provided as bellows:

❶ Single-scan setting
 Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting (e.g. %0101D00%) according to the user‘s demand.
Example: To set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Scan the following barcode.

❷ Multiple-scan setting
 Step 1. Scan the Option barcode barcode (e.g. %0101M%) according to the user’s demand.
 Step 2. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan
two alphanumeric entries from 0 to 9 or A to F, refer to 11 Configuration alphanumeric entry
barcode.
 Step 3. Repeat Step 2, if more user parameters input are required.
 Step 4. Scan the %END% barcode, listed on the lower left hand corner of each parameter
setting part.
Example: To set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Scan the following barcodes in order.

9
3-3 Example 2: Multiple-parameter setting by scanning a QR code barcode
User can customize a QR code barcode to set multiple parameters. The embedded scanner can set
multiple parameters by scanning this single QR code barcode.

1. The data format of the QR code barcode is as following.

% Parameter set 1 % Parameter set 2 % ··· Parameter set N %

<Option barcode index><D/H><Alpha. entries>

Note that:
 <Option barcode index> means the corresponding 4 digits of Option barcode.
 <D/H> means “D” or “H” character. “D” means that the type of alphanumeric entry is decimal; and
“H” means that the type of alphanumeric entry is hexadecimal.
 <Alpha. entries> is a character string with various length of 2, 4, or other values.
Example: Set 0401->03 (decimal); 8002->0D0A (hexadecimal); 8202->01 (decimal). The customized QR
code barcode contents and symbol are as following.
%0401D03%8002H0D0A%8202D01%

2. Notes of making QR code barcode

The model is chosen as M2. Other requirements, e.g. ECC level, Start mode, etc, are not specified.

3. Other notes
 The contents of a QR code barcode can include several same <Option barcode index> associated
with same or different <Alpha. entries>. In the case of with different <Alpha. entries>, the latest
<Alpha. entries> is the valid one.
 If any one of the parameter settings is invalid, the total setting is failed. The invalid setting can be
caused by one of the following problems: invalid <Option barcode index>, invalid type of <D/H>,
invalid type, length or value range of <Alpha. entries>, etc.

10
3-4 RS-232 interface
Flow control:
None - The communication only uses TXD and RXD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS – If the embedded scanner wants to send the barcode data to the host, it will assert the
RTS signal first, and then waits for the CTS signal from the host to perform normal data
communication. If CTS is not asserted in Response delay, the embedded scanner will issue an error
indication.
Two-direction flow control - The embedded scanner asserts the RTS signal when it is OK for the host
to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.
XON/XOFF – An <XOFF> character turns the embedded scanner’s transmission off unit the
embedded scanner receives an <XON> character.
ACK/NAK – After transmitting data, the embedded scanner expects either an <ACK> character
(acknowledge) or <NAK> character response from the host. When a <NAK> character is received,
the embedded scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an <ACK> character or
<NAK> character. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when <NAK> characters are
received the embedded scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the embedded scanner when it waits
for a handshaking acknowledgment form the host.

3-5 USB interface
USB device type:
HID keyboard – By setting, the embedded scanner is used as a USB HID keyboard emulation device.
USB virtual COM – By setting, the embedded scanner emulates a regular RS-232-based COM port. If
a Microsoft Windows PC is connected to the embedded scanner, a driver is required to install on the
connected PC. The driver will use the next available COM Port number. The driver and the installation
guide can be found in the associated CD and on the manufacturer’s website. A Windows-based
software COM_Text is recommended to display the barcode data in text format. COM_Text emulates
some kind of serial-key typing.
Simple COM Port Emulation - Please contact the manufacturer for the instruction.
Notes:
1) When change USB Device Type , the embedded scanner automatically restarts.
2) USB Device Type will be changed to USB virtual COM if Scan Mode is set as Host. Besides, the
change of USB Device Type from the USB virtual COM to others is forbidden when Scan Mode is Host.
Keyboard layout: The embedded scanner supports different national keyboard layouts.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted. By selecting, the user
can change the output speed of the embedded scanner to match the speed of the host USB
communication port.
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key - The embedded scanner will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key - The embedded scanner will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’,
‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only).
Alt+ keypad - The embedded scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad).
Note that the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with
different national keyboard layout.
USB function code: It can support the output and prohibition of non-printable-characters, as well as the
output and prohibition of function codes corresponding to non-printable-characters.

3-6 Scan mode & some global settings
Scan mode:
Host – A START_DECODE command issues the triggering signal. In this mode, the embedded
scanner interprets an actual trigger pull as a Good-read off scanning option. There is a practical
application in 2-6-4 Decode by commands.
Auto-detection- Good-read on – By setting Enable, the scanner will start scanning if any nearby
object has been detected. The scanner stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after
the Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present object must be
removed to enable Auto-detection.
Auto-detection- Good-read off – By setting Enable, the scanner will start scanning if any nearby
object has been detected. The scanner will stop scanning when there is a successful reading or no
code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present
object must be removed to enable Auto-detection.
Barcode detection: In image auto-induction mode, barcode detection means that the scanner detects an
object similar to a barcode to trigger decoding, such as text, graphics, barcodes, and so on.
Barcode detection delay: The barcode detection delay means that the detection function is enabled when
no object is detected within the set delay.
Same barcode delay time for 1D symbol: If a 1D barcode has been scanned and output once
successfully, the scanner must output the same barcode data beyond delay time. When this feature is
set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Same barcode delay time for 2D symbol: If a 2D barcode has been scanned and output once
successfully, the scanner must output the same barcode data beyond delay time. When this feature is
set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm
a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of
decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the
maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the
same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode
decoded.
Notes:
1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.
3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13,
EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for all symbols. By setting one
or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to 3-42 G1-G6 & C1-C3 &
FN1 substitution string setting and 3-43 G1-G4 string position & Code ID position.

17
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.
All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and
66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces
in different scale.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This
function is not effective for all types of barcode.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can
store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay
elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the
scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after
stopping scanning.
Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character
from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and
Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters (domestic language, e.g.
Chinese), it maybe because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system
that is different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one.
Complete data output before next decode attempt: This setting is active only when USB device type is set
as “HID keyboard” or “HID keyboard for Apple Mac”, refer to 3-5 USB interface. If it is enabled, the
scanner will not start next decode attempt until previous data output is completed.

Decode illumination mode: Enable illumination causes the embedded scanner to turn on the illumination
to aid decoding. Disable illumination to turn off illumination for the embedded scanner during decoding.
Better quality images could be obtained with illumination support. The effectiveness of the illumination
decreases as the distance to the target increases.
Level of decode illumination: This parameter can be adjusted for different level of decode illumination.
Illumination mode of Auto-detection:
Always off- Illumination LED will be always turned off.
Enable illumination in low light conditions- In low light conditions, the scanner will turn on illumination
LED automatically to ensure normal work. While in other light conditions, the illumination LED will be
turned off automatically.
Always on- Illumination LED will be always turned on.
Note: This function is only valid in Auto-detection mode (Default).

Note: The SCI programming commands can be used in place of the programming barcodes.
All communication between the embedded scanner and host occurs over the hardware interface lines
using the Serial Communication Interface (SCI). The function of the SCI show as below:
Maintain a bi-directional communication interface between the embedded scanner and the host.
Allow the host to send commands to access the settings of the embedded scanner.
Passes decoded data from the embedded scanner to the host.
In this section, the programming and query command syntax is described and examples of using
commands to access the embedded scanner are presented.

4-1 Programming command syntax

4-1-1 Single-parameter setting

Format
Prefix Parameter index D/H Value Storage

Prefix: <SYN> M <CR> (ASCII 0x16, 0x4D, 0x0D).

Parameter index: Each parameter has a unique 4-digit index which is similar to the option barcode
listed in 6 Parameter Menus, except that there is no leading ‘%’ and ending “M%” in the Parameter
index.
D/H: This is used by the embedded scanner to identify the numeral system of Value. ‘D’ indicates a
decimal number while ‘H’ indicates a hexadecimal number.
Value: This is generally a 2-digit number except for string-setting parameters, e.g. Prefix string setting.
Storage: A single character that specifies the storage area to which the command is applied to. An
exclamation point ‘!’ performs the command’s operation on the volatile memory. A period ‘.’ performs
the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatile memory. Using ‘!’ only when the setting needs to

4-2 Examples of setting and query commands
The following examples illustrate how a command should be constructed and transmitted to the
embedded scanner.

Example 1: Append prefix “1N” to all symbols

Step 1:
1) Set Prefix string setting to be “1N”.
2) Look up the parameter table in 6 Parameter Menus and the ASCII table in 11 ASCII table. The
target parameter index is “8001”.
3) Its numeral system is hexadecimal, indicated by ‘H’.
4) Using the ASCII table, “1N” is translated into “314E”.
5) Put all above parts and then append a prefix and a storage indicator ‘.’, thus,
“<SYN>M<CR>8001H314E.” is the command.
6) Upon receiving command, embedded scanner response with “8001H314E<ACK>”.
Host: <SYN>M<CR>8001H314E.
<SYN>M<CR> 8001 H 314E .
0x16 0x4D 0x0D 0x38 0x30 0x30 0x31 0x48 0x33 0x31 0x34 0x45 0x2E

Embedded Scanner: 8001H314E

8001 H 314E <ACK>
0x38 0x30 0x30 0x31 0x48 0x33 0x31 0x34 0x45 0x06

Step 2:
1) Enable Prefix transmission.
2) Look up the parameter table in 6 Parameter Menus and the ASCII table in 11 ASCII table. The
target parameter index is represented by: “8201”.
3) The numeral system is decimal: ‘D’.
4) The value is translated as: ‘0’ and ‘1’.
5) Put all above parts and then append a storage indicator ‘.’ to construct the command:
“<SYN>M<CR>8201D01.”
6) Upon receiving command, embedded scanner response with “8201D01<ACK>”.
Host: <SYN>M<CR>8201D01.
<SYN>M<CR> 8201 D 01 .
0x16 0x4D 0x0D 0x38 0x32 0x30 0x31 0x44 0x30 0x31 0x2E

Embedded Scanner: 8201D01<ACK>

8201 D 01 <ACK>
0x38 0x32 0x30 0x31 0x44 0x30 0x31 0x06

95
Example 2: Query current scan mode
1) Look up the parameter table in 6 Parameter Menus and the ASCII table in 11 ASCII table. The
target parameter index is “0401”.
2) The numeral system is decimal, thus, ‘D’ is used.
3) The value field is filled with ‘?’.
4) Put all above parts and then append a storage indicator ‘.’ to construct the command:
“<SYN>M<CR>0401?.”.
5) Upon receiving command, embedded scanner response with “0401D01<ACK>”.
Host: <SYN>M<CR>0401?.
<SYN>M<CR> 0401 ? .
0x16 0x4D 0x0D 0x30 0x34 0x30 0x31 0x3F 0x2E

Embedded Scanner: 0401D01<ACK>

0401 D 01 <ACK>
0x30 0x34 0x30 0x31 0x44 0x30 0x31 0x06

5 Enable & Disable “NR”

Enable “NR”
If it is enabled, while the scanner receives the STOP_DECODE command or fails to decode a barcode
within the Stand-by duration time, the scanner will transmit “NR”.

Disable “NR” (Default)

97
6 Enable & Disable configuration by scanning barcode
Note: The setting of the below two barcodes does affect the operation of scanning the barcodes in 10
Return default parameters & firmware version.

Enable configuration by scanning barcode (Default)

The default status of the embedded scanner is enabled to scan configuration barcode.

Disable configuration by scanning barcode

Scan the above barcode to disable scanning configuration barcode, then the embedded scanner
will not operate configuration by scanning configuration barcodes, but the data string of
configuration barcode will be displayed. If you want to operate configuration by scanning
configuration barcodes, please scan “%PSCEN” barcode.

7 Barcode representing non-printable character
Notes to make the following barcode:
1. According to different barcode printing software, the method of printing following barcode is
different.
2. If using CODESOFT software, firstly read the information through “Help→Index→Code128→
Special input syntax”. Also refer to ASCII table. For example, if we wish to make “F1” barcode,
select “CODE 128”, then select “CODE A” type, and input “{DC1}” as data.
