Trigger Modes

 Level Mode - A trigger event activates decode processing, which

continues until the trigger event ends, a valid decode, or the
decode session time-out is reached.

 Presentation Mode - When the device detects an object in its field

of view it triggers and attempt to decode. The range of object
detection does not vary under normal lighting conditions. This
applies to decode mode only. In this mode the unit does not enter
its sleep state.

 Host Mode- A host command issues the triggering signal. The

device interprets a trigger pull as a level triggering option.

0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds.

To set a Decode Session Timeout, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two
numeric bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Barcodes that correspond to the
desired on time. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example,
to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, and
then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To correct an error or change the selection,
scan Cancel barcode.

Decode Session Timeout

Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol

This option is used in presentation mode to prevent multiple reads of a symbol
left in the Device’s field of view. The timeout begins when the symbol is
removed from the field of view. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments
from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default interval is 0.6 seconds.

To select the timeout between decodes for the same symbol, scan the bar
code below, then scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar
Codes that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments.

The parameters in this section control image capture characteristics.

Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video,
and snapshot.

The decoder has three modes of operation:

Decode Mode
Snapshot Mode
• Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode
Video Mode.

10
Decode Mode

By default, upon a trigger event, the decoder attempts to locate and decode
enabled bar codes within its field of view. The decoder remains in this mode as
long as the trigger is active or until a bar code is decoded.

Snapshot Mode

Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host.
To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this
mode the decoder blinks the green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is
not in standard operating (decode) mode.

In Snapshot Mode, the decoder turns on the laser aiming pattern to highlight
the area to be captured in the image. The next trigger event instructs the
decoder to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time
may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is activated and the
image is captured as the decoder adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the
decoder steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep.
If a trigger event is not activated within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period,
the device returns to Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout to adjust
this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds.

To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot
Aiming Pattern.

Use Video View Finder to enable Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode. In this
mode the decoder behaves as a video camera until the trigger is active, at
which time a Snapshot is performed as described above.

Snapshot Mode

11
Video Mode

In this mode the decoder behaves as a video camera as long as the trigger is
active. When the trigger is released, the decoder returns to Decode Mode.
Scan this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode.

Video Mode

Focus Mode
Parameter # F0h, A6h

Select the Focus Mode to control the working range of the device. If Far Focus
is selected, the device is optimized to read at its far position. With Near Focus,
the device is optimized to read at its near position. Smart Focus toggles the
focus position after every frame.

Decoding Auto exposure
Select Enable Auto exposure to allow the device to control gain settings and
exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation
mode.

Select Disable Auto exposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time.
This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image
capture situations.

Enable Decoding Auto exposure

Disable Decoding Auto exposure

Decoding Illumination
Selecting Enable Illumination causes the decoder to flash illumination on
every image capture to aid decoding. Select Disable Illumination to prevent
the decoder from using decoding illumination.

Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of

the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

Enable Decoding Illumination

Disable Decoding Illumination

13
Decode Aiming Pattern
This parameter only applies when in Decode Mode. Select Enable Decode
Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern during bar code capture, or
Disable Decode Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off.

Enable Decode Aiming Pattern

Disable Decode Aiming Pattern

Image Capture Auto exposure

Select Enable Auto exposure to allow the decoder to control gain settings and
exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation
mode.

Select Disable Auto exposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time.
This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image
capture situations.

Image Capture Illumination
Selecting Enable Image Capture Illumination causes the decoder to flash on
every image capture. Select Disable Illumination to prevent the decoder from
using artificial illumination.

Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of

the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

Enable Image Capture Illumination

Disable Image Capture Illumination

Gain
This parameter only applies when Decoding or Image Capture Auto exposure
is disabled. Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data before it is
converted into 256 grayscale values. Increasing the gain increases brightness
and contrast, but also increases noise (undesired electrical fluctuations in the
image) which makes the image less attractive and/or harder to decode.

To set the manual gain, scan the bar code below followed by 3 bar codes from
Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes, in the range of 79 to 127, representing the
value. The default is 100.

Set Gain

15
Exposure Time
This parameter is only available when Image Capture Auto exposure is
disabled. Exposure Time controls the amount of time the CCD is allowed to
collect light, much like the shutter speed for a camera. Generally, the brighter
the environment is, the lower the exposure time would be. Set the manual
exposure time to one of the following values: 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25
ms, or 30 ms. Increasing the exposure time past 20 ms in a handheld
application increases the risk of blurring the image due to hand jitter.

5 ms

10 ms

15 ms

20 ms

16
LED Illumination
Parameter # F0h, ADh

Select whether to use internal LED illumination, external illumination, or both.

This parameter only applies for decoding if Decoding Illumination is enabled or
for image capture if Image Capture Illumination is enabled. If Decoding
Illumination or Image Capture Illumination is disabled, all illumination is off for
that mode, regardless of this LED Illumination setting.

Internal Illumination

External Illumination

Internal and External Illumination

Snapshot Mode Timeout

This parameter sets the amount of time the decoder remains in Snapshot
Mode. The decoder exits Snapshot Mode upon a trigger event, or when the
Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the bar code
below followed by a bar code from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. The
default value is 0 which represents 30 seconds; values increment by 30. For
example, 1 = 60 seconds, 2 = 90 seconds, etc.

Snapshot Mode Timeout

17
Snapshot Aiming Pattern
Select Enable Snapshot Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern when in
Snapshot Mode, or Disable Snapshot Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern
off.

Enable Snapshot Aiming Pattern

Disable Snapshot Aiming Pattern

Image Cropping
This parameter crops a captured image. If Disable Image Cropping is selected,
the full 640 x 480 pixels are presented. If Enable is selected, the decoder crops
the image to the pixel addresses set in Crop to Pixel Addresses.

Enable Image Cropping

Disable Image Cropping

(Use Full 640 x 480 Pixels)

18
Crop to Pixel Addresses
If Enable Image Cropping is selected, set the pixel addresses from (0, 0) to
(639,479) to crop to.

Columns are numbered from 0 to 639, rows from 0 to 479. Specify four values
for Top, Left, Bottom, and Right, where Top and Bottom correspond to row
pixel addresses, and Left and Right correspond to column pixel addresses. For
example, for a 4 row x 8 column image in the extreme bottom-right section of
the image set the following values:
Top = 476, Bottom = 479, Left = 632, Right = 639

To set the pixel address to crop to, scan each Pixel Address bar code followed
by three bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes which represent the
value. Leading zeros are required, so to enter a value of 3, for example, scan 0,
0, 3.

Top Pixel Address

(Default: 0)
(0 - 479 Decimal)

Left Pixel Address

(Default: 0)
(0 - 639 Decimal)

Bottom Pixel Address

(Default: 479)
(0 - 479 Decimal)

Right Pixel Address

(Default: 639)
(0 - 639 Decimal)

19
Image Resolution
This option alters image resolution before compression. Multiple pixels are

Signature Capture
A signature capture bar code is a special-purpose symbology which delineates
a signature capture area in a document with a machine-readable format. The
recognition pattern is variable so it can optionally provide an index to various
signatures. The region inside the bar code pattern is considered the signature
capture area.

Output File Format

Decoding a signature capture bar code de-skews the signature image converts
the image to a BMP, JPEG, or TIFF file format. The output data includes the
file descriptor followed by the formatted signature image.

Serial Interface

Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the decoder with a serial host. The serial
interface is used to connect the decoder to point-of sale devices, host
computers, or other devices with an available serial port (e.g., com port).

Note: The decoder uses TTL signal levels, which interface with most system
architectures. System architectures that use RS-232C signal levels require a
conversion circuitry.

The serial host type requires proper configuration of the sysconfig lines, and
typically require scanning bar code menus as part of initial configuration.

Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen.
When scanning from the screen is sure to set the document magnification to a
level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not
merging.

27
Serial Parameter Defaults
The table below lists the defaults for serial host parameters. To change any
option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Serial Host
Parameters section.

Note: See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences,

34
Stop Bit Select
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of
transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next
character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or
two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to
accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

1 Stop Bit

2 Stop Bits

Data Bits
This parameter allows the decoder to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or
8-bit ASCII protocol.

Check Receive Errors
Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters
are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the
parity parameter selected above.

Check For Received Errors

Do Not Check For Received Errors

36
Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of a serial 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 according to the following sequence:
 The decoder reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the
decoder waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to
de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out
(default), the CTS line is still asserted, the decoder sounds a
transmit error, and any scanned data is lost.
 When the CTS line is de-asserted, the decoder 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 (default), the CTS line is not
asserted, the decoder sounds a transmit error, and discards the
data.
 When data transmission is complete, the decoder de-asserts RTS
10 msec after sending the last character.
 The host should respond by negating CTS. The decoder 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
deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is
aborted, the decoder sounds a transmission error, and the data is [Link]
the above communication sequence fails, the decoder issues an error
indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be [Link] Hardware
Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware
Handshaking takes precedence.

Note: The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.

 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
decoder asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of
CTS. The decoder de-asserts RTS when the transmission is
complete.
 RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high
or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the decoder waits
for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not
asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the

37
 decoder issues an error indication and discards the data.
 RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the decoder asserts
RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS.
The decoder waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default)
for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the
decoder issues an error indication and discards the data. The
decoder de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

None

38
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
decoder expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host.
When a NAK is received, the decoder transmits the same data
again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful
attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the decoder issues
an error indication and discards the data.
 The decoder waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response
Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the decoder does not get a
response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the
data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.
 ENQ: When this option is selected, the decoder 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 decoder
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 transmission 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 decoder
transmission off until the decoder receives an XON character.
There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
 XOFF is received before the decoder has data to send. When the
decoder has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response
Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is
not received within this time, the decoder issues an error indication
and discards the data.
 XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then
stops after sending the current byte. When the decoder receives an
XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The decoder
waits indefinitely for the XON.

39
 None

ACK/NAK

ENQ

ACK/NAK with ENQ

Host Serial Response Time-out
This parameter specifies how long the decoder waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS
before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies
when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS
Hardware Handshaking option.

Minimum: 2 Sec

Low: 2.5 Sec

Medium: 5 Sec

High: 7.5 Sec

Maximum: 9.9 Sec

41
RTS Line State
This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code
below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state.

Host: Low RTS

Host: High RTS

Beep on <BEL>
When this parameter is enabled, the decoder issues a beep when a <BEL>
character is detected on the serial line. <BEL> is issued to gain a user's
attention to an illegal entry or other important event.

Beep On <BEL> Character

(Enable)

Do Not Beep On <BEL> Character

(Disable)

Note: A NULL character must be sent to the decoder before BEL to ensure the
BEL character is processed correctly.

42
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character
transmissions.

Minimum: 0 msec

Low: 25 msec

High: 75 msec

Maximum: 99 msec

43
Nixdorf Beep/LED Options
When Nixdorf Mode B is selected, this indicates when the decoder should beep
and turn on its LED after a decode.

Ignore Unknown Characters

Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send
Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent
except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the decoder.

When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code
data is sent up to the first unknown character and then an error beep will sound
on the decoder.

Symbologies

Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming
bar codes for selecting these features.

The device is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default
Table If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.

There are two ways to change a parameter value:

 Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values
replace the standard default values in memory.
 For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a “parameter send” command
from the host system. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown
in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in
parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the Simple
Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions
for changing parameter values using this method.

Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the
screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document
magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars
and/or spaces are not merging.

To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter bar
code. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are
framed.

70
Symbology Parameter Defaults
Table below lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change any
option, scan the appropriate barcode(s) provided in the Symbologies
Parameters section beginning.

Note: See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences,
hosts, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Supplemental 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 Supplemental is selected,

UPC/EAN/JAN symbols without supplemental are not decoded.
 If Ignore Supplemental is selected, and the decoder is presented
with a UPC/EAN/JAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN/JAN is
decoded and the supplemental bar code is ignored.
 An Auto discriminate Option is also available. If this option is
selected, choose an appropriate UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page. A value of 5
or more is recommended.
 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 exempt
from the search and are reported instantly upon decodes.
 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/JAN bar codes
are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon
decodes.
 Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only
EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix
by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar
codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon
decodes.

Note: To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode
or ignore supplemental characters.

91
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 is the
preferred options.

Note: When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit
numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.
 One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 39
symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using the
numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan
Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To
correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
 Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 39
symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths
using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes.
For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing
either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths,
then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or change the
selection, scan Cancel barcode.
 Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 39
symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths using numeric
bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to
decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters,
first scan Code 39 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2
(single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero).
To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel barcode.
 Any Length - Select this option to decode Code 39 symbols
containing any number of characters within the decoder capability.

Code 39 - One Discrete Length

Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths

Code 39 Check Digit Verification

When this feature is enabled, the decoder checks the integrity of all Code 39
symbols to verify that the data complies with specified check digit algorithm.
Only Code 39 symbols which include a modulo 43 check digit are decoded.
Enable this feature if the Code 39 symbols contain a Modulo 43 check digit.

Enable Code 39 Check Digit

Disable Code 39 Check Digit

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit

(Enable)

Do Not Transmit Code 39 Check

Digit (Disable)

Note: Code 39 Check Digit Verification must be enabled for this parameter to
function.

Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion

Code 39 Full ASCII is a variant of Code 39 which pairs characters to encode
the full ASCII character set. To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the
appropriate bar code below.

Enable Code 39 Full ASCII

Disable Code 39 Full ASCII

Note: Trioptic Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII cannot be enabled

simultaneously.

Code 39 Full ASCII to Full ASCII Correlation is host-dependent, and is

therefore described in the ASCII Character Set Table for the appropriate
interface. See Appendix E, ASCII Character Set.

94
Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)
This feature allows the decoder to accumulate data from multiple Code 39
symbols.

Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers
all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a first character for later
transmission. The leading space is not buffered.

Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission

in sequence of all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus transmission
of the “triggering” symbol. See the following pages for further details.

When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, all decoded Code 39
symbols are transmitted immediately without being stored in the buffer.
This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend
configuring the decoder 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 or clear the buffer.

95
Buffer Data
To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 symbol must
be read with a space immediately following the start pattern.
 Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the decoder
issues a lo/hi beep to indicate successful decode and buffering.
(For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer.)
 The decoder adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to
the transmission buffer.
 No transmission occurs.

Clear Transmission Buffer

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 decoder issues a short hi/lo/hi beep.
 The decoder erases the transmission buffer.
 No transmission occurs.

Clear Buffer
Note: The Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character. In order to
scan this command, be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1.

Transmit Buffer
There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer.
1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below. Only a start character, a
plus (+), and a stop character.
 The decoder transmits and clears the buffer.
 The decoder issues a Lo/Hi beep.

Transmit Buffer

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

space.

 The decoder appends new decode data to buffered data.

 The decoder transmits and clears the buffer.
 The decoder signals that the buffer was transmitted with a lo/hi
beep.

96
The decoder transmits and clears the buffer.

Note: The Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character. In order to scan
this command, be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1.

Overfilling Transmission Buffer

The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read results in an
overflow of the transmission buffer:
 The decoder indicates that the symbol was rejected by issuing
three long, high beeps.
 No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.

Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer

If the symbol just read was the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer
is empty:
 A short lo/hi/lo beep signals that the buffer is empty.
 No transmission occurs.
 The buffer remains empty.

Security Level
The decoder offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which
include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN, and Code 93. Select increasing
levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse
relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness, so choose only
that level of security necessary for any given application.
 Security Level 0: This setting allows the decoder to operate in its
most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in
decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.
 Security Level 1: Select this option if misdecodes occur. This
default setting should eliminate most misdecodes.
 Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to
eliminate misdecodes.
 Security Level 3: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes
still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this
option is an extreme measure against miss-decoding severely out
of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly
impairs the decoding ability of the decoder. If this level of security is
necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Intercharacter Gap Size
The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is
typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap
can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the decoder from
decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter
Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 Macro PDF
symbols.

Caution: When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as

each sequence has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several
Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When
scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence
without interruption.

Macro PDF Transmit / Decode Mode Symbols
Select one of the options below for handling Macro PDF decoding. In Buffer
All Symbols the decoder can handle sets of up to 50 maximum-sized Macro
PDF symbols. In all other modes there is no limit to the size of the Macro
PDF set.
 Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete: This
transmits all decode data from an entire Macro PDF sequence only
when the entire sequence is scanned and decoded. Use the beeper
and LED signals when using this mode to ensure proper user
feedback.
 If the decode data exceeds the limit of 50 symbols, there is no
transmission because the entire sequence was not scanned. Use
the parameter Flush Macro Buffer to purge the buffer.
 Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order: This transmits
data from each Macro PDF symbol as decoded, regardless of the
sequence (although some error handling is performed). When
selecting this mode, enable Transmit Macro PDF Control Header.
Also use the beeper and LED signals provided to ensure proper
user feedback.
 Pass through All Symbols: This transmits and decodes all Macro
PDF symbols and performs no processing. In this mode the host is
responsible for detecting and parsing the Macro PDF sequences.

Use this mode when the decoder’s BEEPER_ON signal is not used
to drive a beeper. In the other modes, some Macro PDF scanning
sequences provide audible feedback only, so if BEEPER_ON is not
used no user feedback is provided. All actions marked No
Transmission provide no feedback unless the BEEPER_ON signal
is used. By using Pass through All Symbols mode every user
decode is transmitted to the host where the host software can
provide the appropriate feedback.

When enabled, this activates transmission of the control header, which
contains the segment index and the file ID, in Macro PDF symbols. For
example, the field may be: \92800000\725\120\343. The five digits after the
\928 are the segment index (or block index), and \725\120\343 is the file ID.
Enable this when selecting Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order
for the Macro PDF Transmit / Decode Mode Symbols, and disable this when
selecting Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete. This
parameter has no effect when Pass through All Symbols is selected.

Escape Characters
This enables the backslash (\) character as an Escape character for systems
that can process transmissions containing special data sequences. Scan a
bar code below to either format special data according to the GLI (Global
Label Identifier) protocol, or to disable this parameter. This parameter only
affects the data portion of a Macro PDF symbol transmission; the Macro
PDF Control Header (if enabled) is always sent with GLI formatting.

GLI Protocol

None

Flush Macro Buffer

This flushes the buffer of all decoded Macro PDF data stored to that point,
transmits it to the host device, and aborts from Macro PDF mode.

Flush Macro PDF Buffer

Abort Macro PDF Entry

This clears all currently-stored Macro PDF data in the buffer without
transmission and aborts from Macro PDF mode.

Miscellaneous Scanner Options

Introduction
This chapter includes commonly used bar codes to customize how data is
transmitted to the host device.

See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and
miscellaneous scanner defaults. If the default values suit requirements,
programming is not necessary.

There are two ways to change a parameter value:

 Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values
replace the standard default values in memory.
 For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a “parameter send” command
from the host system. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown
in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in
parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes.

Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the
screen. When scanning from the screen, is sure to set the document
magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars
and/or spaces are not merging.

To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter bar
code. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are
framed.

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Other
parameters, such as Prefix Value, require scanning several bar codes. See
each parameter for descriptions of this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

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

138
Miscellaneous Scanner Parameter Defaults
Table below lists the defaults for miscellaneous scanner options parameters.
To change any option, scan the appropriate barcode(s) provided in the
Miscellaneous Scanner Parameter.

Note: See Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts,
symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters
Transmit Code ID Character
A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is
useful when the decoder is decoding more than one code type. In addition to
any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted
between the prefix and the decoded symbol.

Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID

character. For Code ID Characters, see Symbol Code Identifiers and AIM Code
Identifiers.

Symbol Code ID Character

AIM Code ID Character

None

140
Prefix/Suffix Values

A prefix and/or one or two suffixes can be appended to scan data for use in
data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a prefix or suffix bar code
below, then scan a four-digit number (i.e., four barcodes from Appendix D,
Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value. To correct an error or
change a selection, scan Cancel barcode.

Note: To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format.

For non-SSI hosts, when using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set
the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit decimal value.

Scan Prefix

Scan Suffix 1

Scan Suffix 2

141
Scan Data Transmission Format
To change the scan data format, scan one of the following eight bar codes
corresponding to the desired format. If using this parameter do not use ADF
rules to set the prefix/suffix.

To set values for the prefix and/or suffix, see Prefix/Suffix Values.

FN1 Substitution Values

The Wedge and USB HID Keyboard hosts support a FN1 Substitution feature.
When enabled any FN1 character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code is substituted
with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter Key).
When using host commands to set the FN1 substitution value, set the key
category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit keystroke value. See the ASCII
Character Set table for the currently installed host interface for the desired
value.

To select a FN1 substitution value via bar code menus:

1. Scan the bar code below.

Set FN1 Substitution Value

2. Look up the keystroke desired for FN1 Substitution in the ASCII

Character Set table for the currently installed host interface. Enter the
4-digit ASCII Value by scanning each digit in Appendix D, Numeric Bar
Codes.

To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel. To enable FN1

substitution for USB HID keyboard, scan the Enable FN1 Substitution barcode.

143
Transmit “No Read” Message
Scan a bar code below to select whether or not to transmit a No Read
message. When enabled, the characters NR are transmitted when a bar code
is not decoded. When disabled, if a symbol does not decode, nothing is sent to
the host.

Enable No Read

Disable No Read

144
Maintenance
Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window
may affect scanning accuracy.

Never use any abrasive material or solvents on the window. Do not spray
water or other cleaning liquids directly onto the window.

Remove dirt by wiping gently with a damp cloth or tissue moistened with
water and/or ammonia.
