Introduction

1. 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.

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.

•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.

3. CODE OPTIONS

The menu options in this chapter are intended

to adjust the decoding settings of the reader:

• which bar code types can be read

• the permissible length of the bar codes to be

read

• bar code specific options

Note:

The menubook categorizes the barcodes as

groups of different symbologies with their

translations and sometimes with relations to

other family names. The next figure visualizes

how code translations and relations are

maintained in this Code options chapter. See

figure 3.00.

3.1. Setting of readable codes

These options do not affect the reading of the

menu labels. The required bar code types can

be selected by enabling a single readable code

only and enabling readable codes.

It is strongly recommended to select only

the required codes.

Advantages of selecting only the required

codes are:

• faster reading

• no accidental scanning of unwanted bar

codes

• reduced probability of reading errors which

can not be prevented completely, because of

the limited security of some bar code types

Some bar codes are translations or special

variants of other bar code types. The table on

the title page of this chapter visualizes these

relations. The setting of different codes is

explained in the next chapter 3.1.1. Enabling a

single read. code.

3.1.1. Enabling a single read. code

With this option you can set the reader to read

a single bar code type only. If you select 'Code

39 only', no other codes will be read.

Example 1:

If you want to read Code 39 only, you read the

option 'Code 39 only'. See figure 3.01.

Example 2:

If you want to read one of the special bar codes

that is a variation of the readable code, read

the single read. code option followed by the

dedicated variation option from the applicable

symbology options chapter.

• EAN128 only: read the option 'Code 128 only'

followed by 'Enable EAN-128 only' from the

'Options for Code 128'.

• Italian Pharmaceutical: read Enable Code 39

only, followed by the option 'Italian

Pharmaceutical only' from the 'Options for

Code 39'.

See figure 3.02.

Example 3:

If you want to read a code that is changed to

another family name, read the new name.

• RSS+14: read the option ‘GS1 Databar’.

See figure 3.03.

3.2. Setting of number of characters

If you are going to read bar codes of known

length, it is recommended to set the reader for

a fixed number of characters. This can be done

for up to two lengths. The reader uses this to

verify that labels read are of the correct length,

rejecting any labels which do not have the

specified length. The advantage of setting a

fixed length, is that it provides protection

against short scans of labels, such as

Interleaved 2of5, which do not provide sufficient

security against partial scan. The length

checking is done on the label data and is not

affected by options such as (not) transmit start/

stop character or check digit. Setting the

number of characters does not affect fixed

length codes, such as EAN-13. 2D

symbologies such as PDF417 and Data Matrix

are also not affected by fixed length settings.

The following options are available:

Fixed length OFF all codes.

This option cancels the fixed length checking.

Fixed length ON all codes.

This option enables the fixed length checking.

Two fixed lengths are programmed which will

affect all variable length codes. This is done by

reading the following labels:

<SET>

a bar code with the required length,

a second bar code with the required length

(this may be the same length as the first one)

<END>

See figure 3.06.

Enable all 1D codes BCM _BCM_

Enable all 2D codes BCN _BCN_

Disable all B0 _B0_

Code options

U15

It is possible to configure a fixed length or a

minimum and a maximum length for selected

symbologies by reading the respective option

followed by a barcode label with the required

length. The different functions may be

combined and will be used as follows:

• if a label is checked for fixed length, it will not

be checked for minimum or maximum length

• if a label is not checked for fixed length it will

be checked for both minimum and maximum

length

By reading an option followed by the 'END'

label, the function is disabled or the values for

that option are reset to their default. The default

values are:

• fixed: disabled, thus no fixed length checking

• minimum: according to the next figure (The

minimum length of the 2of5 bar code types

can not be changed independent.)

• maximum: disabled, thus no maximum length

checking. (The maximum length is reader

dependent)

See figure 3.07.

Fixed length ON for selected codes:

This option enables fixed length checking for

different bar code types and will only affects the

bar code types read. The number of fixed

lengths which can be configured is reader

dependent.

<SET>

Scan bar codes of the required type and length

<END>

Example:

The 2 examples shown in the next figure have

the following results: In the first example only

Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6

characters. Any other bar code type will not be

checked for fixed length. In the second example

Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6

characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a

length of 12 characters. This implies that also

Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are

checked for a fixed length of 12 characters. Any

other bar code type will not be checked for fixed

length. See figure 3.08.

U16

Minimum length for selected codes:

This option modifies the default minimum

length table. The number of minimum lengths

which can be configured is reader dependent.

This is done by reading the following labels:

<SET>

Scan bar codes of the required type and length

<END>

Example:

The two examples shown in the next figure

have the following result: In the first example

only Code 39 labels will be checked for a

minimum length of 2 characters. All other bar

code types will be checked for a minimum

length as displayed in the next figure.

In the second example Code 39 labels will be

checked for a minimum length of 2 characters

and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a minimum

length of 4 characters. This implies that also

Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are

checked for a minimum length of 4 characters.

All other bar code types will be checked for a

minimum length as per figure 3.09.

Maximum length for selected codes:

This option enables the maximum length

checking. The number of maximum lengths

which can be configured is reader dependent.

This is done by reading the following labels:

<SET>

Scan bar codes of the required type and length

<END>

Example:

The two following examples shown in the next

figure have the following result: In the first

example only Code 39 labels will be checked

for a maximum length of 12 characters. Any

other bar code types will not be checked for a

maximum length. In the second example Code

39 labels will be checked for a maximum length

of 12 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for

a maximum length of 14 characters. This

implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5

and S-Code are checked for a maximum length

of 14 characters. Any other bar code types will

not be checked for a maximum length. See

figure 3.10.
