Introduction
The configuration barcodes provided in this manual offer instant setup off the various scanner settings,
E.G.,serialcommunicationbaudrate,enablinganddisablingbarcodes.
Note:Defaultvaluesinthisguideareindicatedbythenotation “(*)”.
Note: Barcodes may also be referred to as “symbols”. This manual may use either or both conventions.
Please read the operation Manual of this reader carefully toensure correct use of the equipment. Keep
the documentnear theequipmentforreferenceintheeventofproblems.
The contentsofthisdocument aresubjecttochangewithoutnotice.
Ensure to scan the “Save Settings” barcode after settings have been changed to write the settings onthe
scanner’s non-volatile flash memory. Without saving the settings the scanner will revert to the previously
storedsettingsafter power isreapplied.
Command manual Usage Notes
Some of the commands listed in this manual can also be set-up by sending commands from a host
computer.
Abbreviations used
Check digit ……. C/D.
Start stop………. ST/SP.

・CenterReading Mode
To Enable or Disable to read symbols located at the central part of the field of view only, scan the
appropriatesymbolbelow.

13
・Symbol Length
To decode symbols with a specific length range for each symbology, this setting must be set through the
serialcommand DIGIT=ab,c-d[CR] below.
CommandFormat: DIGIT=ab,c-d[CR]
a= codecharacter A:Code39 C:Code128 d:DataMatrix
e:Composite,RSS E: UPC/JAN/EAN F:Codabar

p:CustomerBarcode(JapanPost)
b=Minimum length 1~2047
c=Maximumlength 1~2047
d=Option CC: CompositeCode RSS:GS1Databar
Note: Other than Code 128, the Minimum / Maximum length includes Stop, Start, and Check Digit
characters.
Note:theMinimumlengthmustbelessthantheMaximumlength.
Example1: Code39, 10through20digitsaccepted.
DIGIT=A10,20
Example2: GS1Databar,14through16digitsaccepted.
DIGIT=e14,16-RSS
For allsymbologies, defaultvaluesare b=1minimum),c=2047(maximum).

・Maximumdecodablesymbolspertriggerinput
The image reader candecode multiplesymbols (uptofour symbols) ina singleimage witha single pull of the
trigger.
To set the maximum number of symbols to be decoded for a single trigger input, scan the appropriate
symbolbelow.
Onesymbol(*) Twosymbols
Threesymbols Foursymbols

・Output orderfor multiple symbolsreading
To set the output order(transmittingdata order)formultiplesymbolsreading, scan several symbolsintheproper
sequencebelow.
Unlessotherwisespecified,if an erroroccursduring ascanning sequence,justre-scanthe correct parameter.
[Procedure]
(1)Setthemaximum number of symbols to bedecodedforasingletrigger input. (previouspage).
(2)Settheseparatorcharactertobeinsertedbetweenthesymboldata(previouspage).
(3) Set the sorting method ( none, in the order of decoding, symbol lengths, specified characters, or
symbologies)
(4) Select the outputsequencenumber tobeprogrammed(upto4).
(5) Setthe item to beset (symbollengths,First Character,SecondCharacter,Typeof Symbologies).
(6) SettheappropriateData.
(a)Tosetthesymbollengths,usethe”CharacterData”on page27.
(b) To set the first or second character, use the “Character Code” on page26.
(c)Tosetthesymboogy, use the “Symbology type” on page29and30.
(7)When settingiscomplete,scan the “Confirm” symbol to accept the changes or “Cancel” to revert back to the
previoussettings.Thesesymbolscanbefoundonpage30.
(8)Repeat steps(4)through(7)tosettheremainingitems.
(9)Finallyscanthe “Save Settings” symbol tosavethesettingstotheunit’s non-volatileFlashmemory.
Note: Multiple RSS composite codes cannot be decoded from a single image, but a single RSS composite
codemaybedecodedwithothertypesofsymbologies.

Additional SymbolInformation(Optional Data)
An optional single character (henceforth “FrontCharacter”) corresponding to the type of symbologyof
the decoded symbol may be inserted before the decoded data. And similarly another optional
character(henceforth“EndCharacter”)maybeinsertedafterthe decodeddata.
