MARS-1030 User Manual 154 A.1.2 Decoder Setup Function Explaining: Item No Read Timeout Multiple Symbols Mode Function Explaining Maximum time (in milliseconds) that the imager will attempt to decode before declaring a “No Decode” condition. If attempting to decode using the trigger key, the imager quits decode attempts even if the trigger key remains depressed. You will not be able to start a new decode using the trigger until after the trigger is released. The timeout also applies to the decode operation of the imaging technology. The Timeout range is 0 meaning no timeout (i.e., infinite) to 300,000. Enables/Disables multiple symbols decoding. Normally the imager stops attempting to decode when a bar code symbol is decoded. In multiple symbols mode, the imager will not stop until the trigger is released or a “No Decode” timeout occurs. The same bar code will not read again until current decoding stops. 155 Chapter A Item Function Explaining Aimers During Capture Enables/Disables aimers during decoding.

The Firmware Revision version information is then displayed in the text window. This item allows new engine firmware to be installed into the imager. When Flash New Firmware is selected; you are prompted to select the firmware file. The file, which must have the extension ".bin", must reside on the PDT. The firmware file can be copied to the PDT using Microsoft Explorer as long as the PDT is linked to the PC via Microsoft's Active Sync. The default search location is the My Documents folder. Once you select a file, the file is transferred to the Flash New Firmware engine. The engine then writes the new firmware into flash memory and re-initializes. The flashing of the firmware and subsequent restart takes approximately 30 seconds. The application insures that the unit will not enter suspend mode during that time. Note: It is very important that the device remains awake during this time. Failure to do so can cause the scan engine to become unusable. 159 Chapter A A.3 Symbologies List A.3.1 Aztec Function Explaining: Item Explaining Symbol Enable Enable Aztec Runes Message Length MARS-1030 User Manual Enable this barcode If you are scanning Aztec Runes, which are the smallest type of Aztec Code symbol with the ability to encode a very short license plate message.

MARS-1030 User Manual 174 A.3.15 OCR-A, OCR-B, US Currency Use this section to program the imager to read machine readable fonts used in optical character recognition (OCR). The imager reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface. OCR Mode • OCR-A • OCR-B 175 Chapter A • U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money) • MICR E-13B • SEMI Font You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR Templates" if you want to create a custom “template” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR reading. OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The 8 digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCRA, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency fonts. If you select OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency you can scan characters in that font. The default setting allows you to scan any 8 digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template). OCR Direction The OCR Direction setting can be used to prevent misreads of character strings that could be interpreted differently in different orientations when MARS-1030 User Manual 176 you know the orientation of the characters that are being read in relation to the imager (e.g., 80086996 could read as 80086996 or 96698008). Default = Left-to-Right (LtoR) OCR Templates You can create a custom “template”, or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable. These choices are described in detail below. Creating an OCR Template A single template allows you to program the imager to read any combination of characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template Characters table below. Template Characters\ represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) represents a check character position represents any digit represents any available OCR character represents character from user-defined variable “g” represents character from user-defined variable “h” represents any uppercase letter marks the start of a new template multi row indicator All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used. Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D), represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash. Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character. 177 Chapter A To Add an OCR Template 1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read. 2. Begin building the template. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. 3. Scan the characters for the string. Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your template. Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol, and then scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read any string of eight digits, for example: Character Match Sequences On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart (inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that represent these characters. Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan 414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), and scan the MARS-1030 User Manual 178 d three more times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then any string of three digits, for example: Adding Spaces You may also need to put spaces in your template. Example: You need to read three digits, space, three specific characters (ABC), space, three digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times, and then scan 2041424320 from the Programming Chart on the inside back covers (the hex characters for “space,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan the d three more times, and then scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read any string of three digits, space, “ABC,” space, and then any string of three digits. For example: Note: If using Quick*View to program, use the space bar to designate a space and not the hex value of 20. 4. Exit OCR Template Editor Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template exits without saving any OCR Template changes. Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements) You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template. 179 Chapter A Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template. Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan d two more times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read either type of format, for example: You can string together as many templates as you need. OCR Template Codes Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the factory if you have an application that requires reading four or more rows of OCR. † One or more two-digit numbers and Save are required after reading this programming symbol. Refer to the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual.
