INTRODUCTION

This menu book is intended for setting up your bar code reader to optimize its

performance for your particular application. When the required options have been

configured, they remain in the reader, even after power down. The reader can be

returned to factory default by reading the default label.

Menu labels

The reader must be set by reading the bar code labels in the menu table. The layout of

the table is explained in next figure 0.01. To have the bar codes properly decoded,

keep in mind that you are required to pull a trigger to initiate the decoding

process after accurately aiming the scanner at the 1D setup labels.

- 2 -

Besides options, some chapters have commands. The commands need to be scanned

directly, without reading the “SET” and “END” labels. The commands are executed

directly and, unlike options, are not stored in non-volatile memory.

Configuring via the menu book

To configure the required options proceed as follows:

scan the SET label

scan the required option(s)

scan the END label

After scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non-volatile memory.

Recommended steps to follow for quick configuration

After checking your connection you are ready to start the configuration of your

reader.

Check connection:

Ensure that the power is disconnected from your equipment before you connect the

reader. After connecting the data cable, the power can be applied to the equipment

and the reader.

1:

Use chapter 1 to set the correct default for your reader.

* The reader is now in factory default.

2:

Use chapter 2 to optimize the interface.

* The reader is now able to read bar codes and transmit the data.

3:

Use chapter 3 to optimize the reader for the type of bar codes you use. Set the

readable codes first and then the options for each of these codes.

* The reader is now able to read the codes you selected, validate the data using length

and check digit and transmit that part of the data you specified.

4:

Use chapter 4 to select the string options for your application. These include

transmission of code length, conversion of upper and lower case and setting a prefix

and suffix.

* The reader can now read and transmit the data in the required format.

5:

Use chapter 5 to select the read options to your preference. These options affect the

read mode, read time, trigger and redundancy.

- 3 -

6:

Use chapter 6 to select the indicator options you prefer. These options affect the

operation of the buzzer and good read LED.

* The reader will now operate to your personal preference.

See figure 0.02.

Configuring via RS232

In the middle column of the menu pages the command is printed, e.g. U2. These

commands can be sent to readers with an RS232 interface. To configure via the

RS232 port proceed as follows:

transmit <ESC><Command string 1><CR>

transmit <ESC><Command string 2><CR>

transmit <ESC><Command string n><CR>

transmit <ESC>Z2<CR>

<ESC>

<ESC> is the ASCII escape character (Hex 1B).

<Command string> is the ASCII command with its parameters as would be scanned

from the menu book, i.e. <ESC>M41B<CR> configures the ASCII control code

<STX> as the prefix for Code 39.

Example in hexadecimal format:

1B 4D 34 31 4B Ø D

- 4 -

Each 3-character command should be preceded with the '[' character (Hex 5B) i.e.

<Esc>[BCC<CR> is used to enable Data Matrix.

Each 4-character command should be preceded with the ']' character (Hex 5D) i.e.

<Esc>]DIAU<CR> is used to disable auto connect.

<CR>

<CR> is the ASCII CR character (Hex Ø D).

Some options are not immediately active, like baud rate settings. Most other options

are immediately active, but the command Z2 must be send to store the settings to

non-volatile memory.

The following commands may be used to:

Command B sound a good read beep

Command E sound an error beep

Command G motor off

Command H motor on

Command L switch on good read LED

Command N switch on bad read LED

Command O switch on both LEDs

Command Y de-trigger the reader

Command Z trigger the reader

The characters transmitted must be separated by an intercharacter delay to allow the

reader to process each character received and to execute the command string.

1. GENERAL OPTIONS

1.1. Restore to Factory Default Settings

This option allows you to undo all previously configured options and bring the

reader's configuration back to factory default settings. These factory default settings

are printed in bold.

Note that differences may occur depending on the type of interface as will be

mentioned in the text.

Select only the correct default settings corresponding to your hardware "defaults"

label.

The interfaces supported depend on the reader model and software release. Please

consult your sales office for not listed interfaces.
