3.3 Mounting
Mount the LSR116 into a kiosk, gate or similar device, if required. Refer to Figure 4 for the
LSR116’s dimensions (in millimetres) and mounting points.
For optimum performance, do not position the LSR116 in direct sunlight.
Figure 4. LSR116 dimensions and mounting points
Use three M3 screws (not provided) to mount the unit. Maximum insertion depth is 6 mm; minimum
recommended insertion depth is 2 mm.
3.4 Interface options
3.4.1 Serial connection
Connect a serial LSR116 device using an RS232 interface directly into a COM port. You must
specify the baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits.
Note: A serial LSR116 communicates directly with the COM port and does not require any
additional drivers to be loaded.
3.4.2 USB connection
Connect a USB LSR116 device using one of three possible options. These options are compatible
with all Linux and Windows operating systems from XP onwards.
3.4.2.1 Keyboard interface
Virtual keyboard using Windows or Linux drivers
This option allows the device to operate without additional drivers, with the LSR116 emulating a
keyboard. This is one-way communication; it is not possible to control the device directly in this
mode. This mode will be slower than the other options as it adds an inter-character delay when
typing the barcode data. For higher throughput, consider using a HID or CDC interface.

Page 8of 33 Copyright © Access-IS 2020
3.4.2.2 CDC interface
Virtual serial mode using the Windows CDC driver
This option assigns a COM port and the device communicates as a virtual serial device. Due to the
nature of CDC serial port drivers, the COM port disappears if the unit is unplugged.
3.4.2.3 HID interface
Access IS recommend the use of the HID interface for reliability. A HID interface recovers properly
in the event of accidental disconnects or system power fluctuations; a CDC interface may not
recover in these situations.
HID interface using the Access driver (Windows only)
The Access Serial Ports Service driver is fully configurable and outputs data in virtual serial or
virtual keyboard. The output can be parsed and reformatted. The serial port is permanent and does
not disappear if you unplug or hot swap the unit. This is one-way communication and the only
command that you can send to the device is AIS_BO to enable or disable barcode reading. Refer
to page 22 for more information.
HID interface without the Access driver
This method is only suitable is you are familiar with HID programming.
It is possible to communicate directly with the LSR116 using the operating system’s built-in HID
drivers. In this instance, HID reports, exactly 64 bytes in length, are sent between the host and the
LSR116.
The implementation of this driver and the method of interaction will depend on the version of the
host operating system. You should refer to the HID programming guide for the operating system you
are using.
Refer to HID reports on page 26 for the details of the HID reports used with the LSR116.
3.5 Serial installation
A serial LSR116 communicates directly with the COM port and does not require any additional
drivers to be loaded.
1. Switch off the computer.
2. Connect the serial cable to a COM port on the computer and finger-tighten the two thumbscrews
to secure the connector to the port.
3. If using a USB power injector cable, plug the injector cable into the coaxial power connector on
the Y-cable and then plug the USB connector into a powered USB port on the computer.
If using an Access-supplied power supply, plug the power cable into the coaxial power
connector on the Y-cable and then connect the external power supply to an AC outlet.
4. Once the device is connected, switch on the computer.
3.6 USB installation
Note: If you intend to use the Access driver, ensure that you install the driver before you connect
the LSR116 to the computer.
3.6.1 Driverless keyboard output
There is no additional driver required for this mode. Connect the USB cable from the LSR116 to a
USB port on the computer.

Page 9of 33 Copyright © Access-IS 2020
3.6.2 CDC Windows driver
This method of USB installation uses the Windows CDC drivers.
For this method to operate, you must install the CDC drivers using the file, AccessISUSBCDC.inf,
which you can download from http://www.access-is.com/gettingstarted/.
The download (USB Driver for CDC Mode) includes full instructions for use.
Windows assigns a virtual COM port to the LSR116 device. You can find out the COM port number
in Device Manager. You will require the port number to configure the LSR116.
3.6.3 Custom HID
3.6.3.1 HID interface using the Access driver (Windows only)
The recommended method for using a USB LSR116 is to configure the device to operate in HID
mode. This allows the device to communicate with the Access driver.
For this method to operate, you must install first the Access driver (Access Serial Ports Service
(ASPS)). Download ASPS from http://www.access-is.com/gettingstarted/.
The download (ASPS Software) includes full instructions for use.
Ensure that you install the driver before connecting the LSR116 to the host.
3.6.3.2 HID interface without the Access driver
There is no additional driver required for this mode. Connect the USB cable from the LSR116 to a
USB port on the computer.
3.7 Test the device
Once you have connected the device and installed the relevant drivers, if applicable, you can test
the device. To do this, wave a piece of paper in front of the glass; the reader’s LEDs should
illuminate. If the device fails to respond when connected to the host, refer to the Troubleshooting
section in this document.
3.8 Configuration software
Connect to, and configure, the LSR116 using your own configuration tool, a terminal emulation
program or the Access IS configuration tool, which you can download from http://www.access-
is.com/gettingstarted/.
Refer to page 17 for details of the commands, which you can use to configure the LSR116.
3.9 Troubleshooting
If the LSR116 does not appear to be working, refer to Table 1 to help identify and resolve the
problem. For further assistance, contact [e-mail].

Page 11 of 33 Copyright © Access-IS 2020
4. Operating modes
The LSR116 operates in one of three ways, as defined by the AISOMD command. Refer to the
Command reference on page 17 for a list of commands that you can send to configure the LSR116.
4.1 Mode summary
4.1.1 Dumb mode
The LSR116 is a one-way communication device.
The device detects the media and activates the imager and illumination. When the LSR116 reads
the barcode, it sends the data to the host, activates the ‘Good Read’indicators, and disables the
imager and illumination. The imager and illumination do not reset until the LSR116 sensor fails to
detect any media for 0.5 seconds.
4.1.2 Host mode
The LSR116 is a two-way communication device that reads barcodes and waits for a host to accept
or reject the barcodes.
The device detects the media and activates the imager and illumination. When the device reads the
barcode, it sends the data to the host and disables the imager and illumination. The LSR116 waits
for a response from the host to accept or reject the data, which activates the ‘Good Read/Bad Read’
indicators on the device. The LSR116 waits for up to two seconds for an ‘Accept/Reject/Ignore’
command to activate indicators. The host sends an ‘Ignore’ command to reset the imager if no
response from the indicators is required. The imager and illumination do not reset until the LSR116
sensor fails to detect any media for 0.5 seconds.
The ‘Ignore’ command requires version 1.0.21 (or later) of the firmware.
4.1.3 Interactive mode
Note: This is not the recommended mode for new installations.
The LSR116 is a two-way communication device, controlled fully by a host.
The LSR116 detects the media and sends a command to the host with this information. If the media
is removed, a second command is sent telling the host that the media is no longer detected.
If the media is present, the host sends a command to activate the imager and illumination. When the
LSR116 reads the barcode, it sends data to the host. The imager and illumination are not disabled.
The LSR116 waits for a response from the host to accept or reject the data, which activates the
‘Good Read/Bad Read’indicators and disables the imager and illumination. An ‘Ignore’ command
may also be used, although untriggering the unit is more useful in most cases.
At any time, the host can send ‘Good Read’ or Bad Read’ commands activate or deactivate the
imager and illumination.

5. Command reference
Commands are sent with a prefix of [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] causing the command sequence to
take the form [0x16][0x4D][0x0D]<Menu Command>. The menu commands are six characters
long with a parameter (if required).
To send a command to modify a configuration parameter
Send the six-character command concluded by a dot ‘.’ or an exclamation mark ‘!’. The dot stores
the setting permanently and the exclamation mark keeps it temporarily until power is removed from
the device.
For example, [0x16][0x4D][0x0D]AISKBL1.sets the keyboard localisation to United States
when the device is operating as a USB keyboard.
To query the current settings (including a temporary one)
Send the six-character command with a ‘?’instead of the parameter and the LSR116 will return the
command with the current setting. Note the ‘?’ must be followed with ‘.’
For example, [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] AISINF?.queries the device interface and returns the
current value.
To query the stored value
Send the six-character command with a ’^’instead of the parameter and the LSR116 will return the
command with the stored setting. Note the ‘^’must be followed with ‘.’
For example, [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] AISINF^.returns the current illumination mode.
To list parameter options
Send the six-character command with a ‘*’instead of the parameter and the LSR116 will return the
command with the parameter options. Note the ‘*’ must be followed with ‘.’

Any two-character hex ASCII code can
replace xx.
For example, to add STX (Start of Text)
as a prefix, use the command
PREBK29902.
You can add more than one prefix, as
required.

5.3 LSR116 illumination
The standard method of reading barcodes cycles the illumination on and off. You can control
illumination for various different applications using the commands in Table 4. For example, it is often
beneficial to turn off the illumination to prevent reflections from shiny surfaces, for example, mobile
phones.

0–200
AISONM
Illumination on mode.
When set to 0, the timing for the
illumination on period is set to a single
value, AISONT.
When set to 1, the illumination on period
cycles continuously (while triggered)
through the three AISONx values.
0
0 - Normal adaptive
operation; uses AISONT

5.3.1 Adaptive illumination modes
The illumination modes allow you to configure the device to provide the best lighting to read
barcodes on different types of media.
0 - Off (Phone only)
Adaptive illumination is off. The illumination LEDs do not light when you present media to the
device.
1 - Off (Paper only)
Adaptive illumination is off. The illumination LEDs light when you present media to the device. The
LEDs illuminate until the device reads the barcode or you remove the media.
2 - On (Paper optimised)
Adaptive illumination is on. The illumination LEDs switch ‘On’ and ‘Off’ continuously when you
present media to the device. The LEDs cycle ‘On’ and ‘Off’ until the device reads the barcode or you
remove the media. Use the illumination commands in Table 4 to set the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time.
