Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The XL-3200 supports all mainstream 1D as well as PDF417, QR Code (QR1, QR2, Micro QR), Data
Matrix and GS1-DataBarTM(RSS) (RSS-Limited, RSS-14, RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-Expand).
The XL-3200 can read barcodes on virtually any medium - paper, plastic card, mobile phones and
LCD displays. It provides an ideal solution for both emerging mobile phone-based barcode
applications, like coupons, e-tickets and boarding passes, and traditional applications.
TheXL-3200’s instant power on/off feature along with ultra low power consumption brings greater
efficiency and convenience in barcode scanning applications.

About This Guide
This guide provides programming instructions for the XL-3200. Users can configure the XL-3100 by
scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The XL-3200 has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without
further configuration. Users may check the Factory Defaults Table in Appendix for reference.
Throughout the manual, programming barcodes marked with asterisks (**) are factory default values.
Barcode Scanning
Powered by area-imaging technology，the XL-3200 features fast scanning and accurate decoding.
Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the
aiming pattern projected by the XL-3030-Mover the barcode.
Configuring the XL-3200
There are two ways to configure the engine: barcode programming and command programming.
Barcode Programming
The XL-3200 can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable
features/options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following
sections.

3
Command Programming
Besides the barcode programming method, the XL-3200 can also be configured by serial
commands sent from the host device. Note that communication parameters on the engine and the host
must match so that two devices can communicate with each other. The default settings of the engine
are 9600bps, no parity check, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. The engine uses 8-bit registers.
Read Register
The read command is used to read the contents of 1 to 256 contiguous registers in the engine.
Syntax: {Prefix1} {Types} {Lens} {Address} {Datas} {FCS}
Prefix1 : 0x7E 0x00
Types : 0x07
Lens : 0x01
Address: 0x0000~0x00FF, starting register address.
Datas : 0x00~0xFF, number of registers to be read. When Datas=0x00, 256 contiguous
registers are to be read.
FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum, 2 bytes.
Computation sequence: Types+ Lens+Address+Datas;
polynomial: X16+X12+X5+1 (0x1021), initial value: 0x0000.
The following C language program is provided for reference.

4
unsigned int crc_cal_by_bit(unsigned char* ptr, unsigned int len)
{
unsigned int crc = 0;
while(len-- != 0)
{
for(unsigned char i = 0x80; i != 0; i /= 2)
{
crc *= 2;
if((crc&0x10000) !=0)
crc ^= 0x11021;
if((*ptr&i) != 0)
crc ^= 0x1021;
}
ptr++;
}
return crc;
}

Reply: {Prefix2} {Types} {Lens} {Datas} {FCS}
1) Success message:
Prefix2 : 0x02 0x00
Types : 0x00 (success)
Lens : The number of data returned. If Lens=0x00, that means values of 256 contiguous
registers are returned.
Datas : 0x00~0xFF, data that are returned.
FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum.
2) CRC check failure message:
Prefix2 : 0x02 0x00

Relationship between Programming Command and Serial Command
1. Program general parameter with serial command
A programming command (i.e. the characters under programming barcode) contains 7 characters. The
function of each character is described in the table below.
1st Char
2nd Char ~3rd Char
4th Char~5th Char
6th Char~7th Char
Remark
CMD
BITPOSITION
ADDR
DATA
“W”
“00”~“FF”
“00”~“FF”
“00”~“FF”
Write a value (DATA) to the
specified bits (BITPOSITION)
of the register (ADDR).
Note:1. CMD: Command type.
2. ADDR: Address of register to be written.
3. BITPOSITION: Bit(s) the value is written to. For example, if only bit 3 is to be written, the
BITPOSITION should be “08”; if all bits are to be written, the BITPOSITION should be “FF”.
4. DATA: Value written to the BITPOSITION.
The ADDR and DATA in programming command correspond to Address and Datas in serial command,
respectively:
1) If BITPOSITION=”FF”, the values of ADDR and DATA can be used directly in the write command.
e.g., programming command: WFFD9D8 (write value 0xD8 to register 0x00D9)
serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0xD9 0xD8 0x91 0x53
reply received : 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x33 0x31
2) If BITPOSITION≠”FF”, users need to read the register content, calculate the value (Datas) and then
write the value into the register, as shown in the following example.
e.g., programming command: W030002 (write value 0x02 to bit1and bit0 of register 0x0000)
Step 1: Read the content of register 0x0000.
serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x07 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x01 0x41
