Addendum for 4MB JANUS User Manuals
With release 4.05, several significant changes were made to the JANUS
software. These changes include:
• MSI, Plessey, Code 16K, and Code 11 symbologies were removed to make
room for the new ISBT Code symbology. The removed symbologies are still
available if you load an older version (Release 4.04 or earlier) of the
decoding and configuration system on your JANUS device.
To restore the removed symbologies, you must load DECSCAN.EXE,
CFGUMA.EXE, LOADUMA.EXE, RSERUMA.EXE, IC.EXE, and
IC001.DAT on Drive D of your JANUS device.
• The manual viewporting function now supports true manual viewporting.
Earlier versions of the JANUS software set viewport movement to
automatic when a DOS program was executed.
• The autobacklight function was modified and now allows you to turn on
the backlight when a key on the keyboard is pressed.
• You can now use the MakeDisk utility to extract individual files from a
JANUS image file.
This information supplements the information provided in your JANUS user’s
manual. Please keep this addendum with your user’s manual.
Code 128 Enhancements
Purpose: Enables, disables, or configures decoding of Code 128 symbology. Code 128 is a
very high density alphanumeric symbology that supports the extended ASCII
character set. It is a variable length, continuous code that uses multiple element
widths.
Default: Standard
Syntax: CH
data
Acceptable values for data are:
0 Disabled
1 Standard Code 128
2 UCC/EAN Code 128
8 ISBT Code 128

Standard Code 128
If you configure Standard Code 128, the reader does not decode Function
Code 1 characters in the first position of a bar code label. Any subsequent
Function Code 1 characters are translated to the ASCII GS character as a
separator for variable length fields.
UCC/EAN Code 128
If you configure UCC/EAN Code 128, the reader decodes a bar code label as
Standard Code 128 unless the first two characters are a start character and a
Function Code 1 character. If the first two characters are a start character and a
Function Code 1 character:
1. The Function Code 1 character is not transmitted.
2. The three symbology ID characters, ]C1, are transmitted.
3. The remaining Code 128 characters are decoded as Standard Code 128.
ISBT Code 128
You can also configure your JANUS device to perform other functions when
you use ISBT Code 128. You can set these parameters with Code 39 bar codes,
through the JANUS configuration application (IC.EXE), or using Code 128
symbology. Spacing between concatenable bar codes must be between 2 and 5
character widths.
For more information on ISBT Code 128, refer to the ISBT 128 Bar Code
Symbology and Application Specification for Labeling of Whole Blood and Blood
Components prepared by the International Council for Commonality in Blood
Banking Automation.

Configuring ISBT Code 128 With Code 39 Bar Codes
The following Code 39 configuration bar codes are processed in any Code 128
mode, but only effect reader operation in ISBT Code 128 mode. Bar codes may
be truncated as desired.
Syntax: CH8
ABCDEF
Character Value Description
A0 No symbology identifier.
1 Symbology identifier enabled (Default). Output of
]C0 indicates a single ISBT 128 bar code was read.
Output of ]C4 indicates that a pair of ISBT Code 128
bar codes was read.
B0 No concatenation (Default).
1 Restricted concatenation enabled.
C= or & Left bar code, primary data identifier to be matched
for restricted concatenation (Default is =).
DSee
List* Left bar code, secondary data identifier to be matched for restricted concatenation (Default is W).
*Valid secondary identifiers are upper and lower case

Note: Primary and secondary data identifiers are used for restricted bar code
concatenation purposes only. For example, only bar codes with data identifiers
matching the configured data identifiers will be concatenated. Spacing between
concatenable bar codes must be between 2 and 5 character widths.
Configuring With Code 128 Bar Codes
You can also configure the reader using Code 128 bar codes. Configuration
commands must be in the exact format shown below:
Syntax: =&F3CDEFmmtuv

mmt 000 -
999 Approximate time (in milliseconds) that the JANUS device will scan, attempting to concatenate both bar
codes before returning a single unconcatenated bar
code. Maximum time is 999.
000 implies one scan, 999 implies 24 scans.

Configuring With IC.EXE
You can also configure your JANUS device using the Interactive Configuration
application (IC.EXE). Access the Code 128 configuration screen from the Sym
menu (bar code symbologies) of the Interactive Configuration application.

Manual Viewport Changes
The JANUS display driver subsystem was modified to fix a problem with the
manual viewport movement function. Earlier versions (before release 4.05) of
the JANUS software set the viewport to follow the cursor when a program was
started from the DOS prompt.
With release 4.05, the display driver subsystem allows you to force the
viewport follow cursor mode to follow the state you set using Configuration
Manager. You can only access this feature through a new set of enable/disable
commands that are used in your application.
You can only access the new commands through software interrupt 7E (hex).
You must use application calls to the appropriate software interrupt to enable
or disable this feature.
Use command 23 (dec) to force the viewport follow cursor mode to NOT
change when you invoke a DOS program. Use command 24 (dec) to return the
JANUS software to its original state.
Sample Code to Enable Manual Viewport Mode
_asm { mov ah,23 ; Enable True Manual Service Code
mov al,0x00 ; Function Code
int 0x7e ; Display Interrupt
}
Sample Code to Disable Manual Viewport Movement
_asm { mov ah,24 ; Disable True Manual Service Code
mov al,0x00 ; Function Code
int 0x7e ; Display Interrupt
}

Autobacklight Enhancements
An autobacklight function has been added to provide the capability of turning
the backlight on when you press a key on the keyboard or press the trigger.
The backlight then shuts off automatically based on the backlight timeout
value.
This enhancement was implemented by incorporating two new functions to the
miscellaneous video services interrupt backlight subfunction (interrupt 79 hex,
subfunction 01). The Interrupt Services Routine (ISR) for interrupt 09
(keyboard) was modified to call the display interrupt every time you press a
key. The trigger interrupt routine was also modified to call the display
interrupt. You must use application calls to the appropriate software interrupt
to enable or disable this feature.
Sample Code to Enable Autobacklight
_asm { mov ah,0x01 ; Backlight Services Subfunction
mov al,0x08 ; Autobacklight Control Function Code
mov bl,0x01 ; Enable
int 0x79 ; Misc Video Services Interrupt
}
Sample Code to Disable Autobacklight
asm { mov ah,0x01 ; Backlight Services Subfunction
mov al,0x08 ; Autobacklight Control Function Code
mov bl,0x00 ; Disable
int 0x79 ; Misc Video Services Interrupt
}
Using the New MakeDisk Option
A new MakeDisk option allows you to extract files from the image file loaded
on a JANUS device. You can then modify the files and download a new image
to the JANUS device. This eliminates one step in the process of creating and
downloading a drive C or D image.
The following table compares the old method of changing drive C or D with
the new MakeDisk option.

Old Method Using the New MakeDisk Option
1. Connect the JANUS device to the
host PC using and appropriate
serial device.
2. Use Interlnk and PutDisk to load
the image file from the PC to the
JANUS device.
3. Copy files from the JANUS device
back to the host PC.
4. Modify the files on the host PC.
5. Use MakeDisk to create the new
drive image.
6. Use PutDisk to load the image file
onto the JANUS device.
1. Connect the JANUS device to the
host PC using and appropriate
serial device.
2. Use MakeDisk /x to expand files
from the drive C or D image file
loaded on the host PC.
3. Modify the files on the host PC.
4. Use MakeDisk to create the new
drive image.
5. Use PutDisk to load the image file
onto the JANUS device.
Type the following to extract files from a drive image file.
makedisk /x {/o=[output file] /s=[source path] /r=[report]}
where:
output file specifies the full path and name of the image file to create.
The default is the current directory \XDRIVE.
The output file parameter is optional.
source path specifies the location of the image file. The default is the
current directory \DRIVE_C.IMG.
The source path parameter is optional.
report report version information from the image file, no
extraction is performed.
The report parameter is optional.
