Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time. Figure 1-1 Symbol LS4278 Scanner 1-2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide In addition to single-line laser scanning, the scanner supports multi-line rastering. Multi-line rastering allows the scanner to capture stacked GS1 DataBar codes and increases angular tolerances, minimizing product orientation and hand movements. Multi-line rastering also allows the scanner to read poor quality bar codes. For more information about scanning modes and stacked GS1 DataBar codes, see Scan Pattern on page 5-9 and GS1 DataBar on page C-3. NOTE The scanner does not currently support PDF417 bar codes and its variants. This STB4278 cradle supports the following interfaces: • Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. This interface supports the following international keyboards (for Windows® environment): North America, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese. • Standard RS-232 connection to a host. Scan bar code menus to set up proper communication of the cradle with the host. • USB connection to a host. The cradle autodetects a USB host and defaults to the HID keyboard interface type. Select other USB interface types by scanning programming bar code menus.This interface supports the following international keyboards (for Windows® environment): North America, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese. • Connection to IBM® 468X/469X hosts. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the cradle with the IBM terminal. • Wand Emulation connection to a host. The cradle is connected to a portable data terminal, a controller, or host which collects the data as wand data and decodes it. • Scanner Emulation connection to a host. The cradle is connected to a portable data terminal, a controller which collects the data and interprets it for the host. • Synapse capability which allows connection to a wide variety of host systems using a Synapse and Synapse adapter cable. The cradle autodetects the host. • Configuration via 123Scan. Unpacking the Scanner and Cradle Remove the scanner and cradle from their respective packing and inspect for damage.

The cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a vertical surface (such as a wall). For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle. There are two versions of the cradle: • Charging cradle with radio: When the cordless scanner is paired to the cradle, all communication between the scanner and the host computer is accomplished through the cradle. Each bar code contains programming instructions or other data unique to the bar code pattern. The scanner is paired to the cradle and transmits bar code data to the cradle via Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. The cradle then sends that information via an interface cable to the host computer for interpretation. • Charge-only cradle: This cradle serves as a stand and battery charger. It does not contain a radio and has no communication capability. NOTE For more information about communication between the scanner, cradle and host, see Chapter 4, Radio Communications. Connecting the Cradle Important: Connect the interface cable and power supply (if necessary) in the following order to ensure proper operation of the scanner and cradle: 1. If a power supply is connected to the cradle, disconnect it. See Figure 1-5. 2. If using an interface cable, insert the cable into the cradle’s host port. 3. If using a power supply that connects to the interface cable, insert this power supply into the power connector on the interface cable, and the other end to an AC supply. 4. Insert the other end of the interface cable into the appropriate port on the host computer (see the specific host chapter for information on host connections). 5. If using an external power supply (if required by the interface, or to allow fast charging of the scanner), insert the power cable into the power port on the back of the cradle, and connect the power supply to an approved AC supply (see the STB4208/4278 Cradle Quick Reference Guide for more information). Power Port Host Port Figure 1-5 Connecting the Cables to the Cradle Getting Started 1-7 6. If applicable, thread the interface cable over the cable support hook and run the host and power cables into their respective cable grooves. 7. Mount the cradle, as necessary. (For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.) NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the cradle may not recognize the new host. Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same. Supplying Power to the Cradle The cradle receives power from one of two sources: • An external power supply. • When connected to the host through a host cable that supplies power. The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power. It always draws power from the external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host. Using the USB Interface to Supply Power When the cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, it can be powered by the USB port instead of an external power supply. Powering from a USB host limits charging. The scanner charges at a slower rate than when charging from an external power supply. NOTE The radio link functions normally when the cradle draws power from a USB host. Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface NOTE Refer to the Synapse Interface Guide provided with the Synapse cable for detailed setup instructions. Symbol’s Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable has the built-in intelligence to detect the host to which it is connected. To host Synapse Adapter Cable Synapse Smart Cable To Cradle Figure 1-6 Synapse Cable Connection 1. Insert the Synapse adapter cable (p/n 25-32463-xx) into the host port on the bottom of the cradle, as described in Connecting the Cradle on page 1-6. 1-8 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide 2. Align the ‘S’ on the Synapse adapter cable with the ‘S’ on the Synapse Smart Cable and plug the cable in. 3. Connect the other end of the Synapse Smart Cable to the host. Lost Connection to Host If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle’s host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a connection with the host: 1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle. 2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle. 3. Wait three seconds. 4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle. 5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if required. 6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code. NOTE The STB4278 does not always require a power supply whereas the STB4208 always requires a power supply. Mounting the Cradle For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

Note: When connected to a remote device using SPP or HID, if a disconnect beep sequence sounds immediately after a bar code is scanned, check the host device for receipt of transmitted data. It is possible that an attempt was made to transmit the last bar code scanned after the connection was lost. Long low/long high beeps Page timeout; remote device is out of range/not powered. Long low/long high/long low/long high beeps Connection attempt was rejected by remote device. Code 39 Buffering High/low beeps New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer. Three long high beeps Code 39 buffer is full. Low/high/low beeps The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an attempt to clear or transmit an empty buffer. Low/high beeps A successful transmission of buffered data. Host Specific USB only Four high beeps Scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again. Scanner gives a power-up beep after scanning a USB Device Type. Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power level. Scanning 2-3 Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions (Continued) Beeper Sequence Indication This power-up beep occurs more than once. The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is normal and usually happens when the host PC cold boots. RS-232 only High beep A character is received and Beep on is enabled (Point-to-Point mode only). LED Definitions In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning. Table 2-2 Standard LED Definitions LED Indication Scanning LED Green Flash A bar code was successfully decoded. Charging LED Green - Slow Continuous Flash1 Non-critical battery temperature fault. Battery is above or below normal operating temperature. If this occurs, do not use the scanner and move the scanner to a location within normal operating temperature.

(In addition to the parameters included in the chapters mentioned, user preference and miscellaneous scanner option parameters are also available in this guide.) To scan: 1. Aim the scanner at the bar code. 2. Press the trigger. Single-Line Mode Multi-Line Raster Mode Figure 2-1 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode 3. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. (For more information about beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.) NOTE Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected (see Scan Line Width on page 5-10). A full scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or pick-lists. Aiming On a typical UPC 100% hold the scanner between contact and 19 inches from the symbol (see Decode Zone on page 2-9). When scanning using a single-line scan mode, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol. 012345 Figure 2-2 Acceptable and Incorrect Single-Line Aiming 012345 Scanning 2-5 When scanning using a multi-line scan mode, at least one scan line must cross every bar and space of the symbol. 012345 012345 Figure 2-3 Acceptable and Incorrect Multi-Line Aiming Regardless of the scan mode, the scan line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner. Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. NOTE Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected. A full scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or pick-lists. For more information about scan line widths and scanning modes, see page 5-9 and page 5-10, respectively. The scanner can be tilted up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-4). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. 65 o 65 o Figure 2-4 Maximum Tilt Angles and Dead Zone 2-6 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand, it automatically switches modes to operate in its normal hand-held triggered mode. While in Intellistand, the scanner enters low power mode (Intellistand Idle Timeout) when no bar code is decoded within 15 minutes. See Intellistand Idle Timeout on page 5-5 to set timeout intervals. NOTE When the scanner enters Intellistand Idle Timeout (low power mode in the stand), scanning capability suspends. To restart scanning capability, press the trigger or remove the scanner and replace it into the stand. Assemble the Stand Figure 2-5 Assembling Intellistand Scanning 2-7 Scanning with Intellistand When the scanner is placed in Intellistand, the scan pattern selected in hand-held triggered mode continues (see Scan Pattern on page 5-9). NOTE When the scanner is configured as a Master or Cradle Host and the Bluetooth connection to the remote device is lost, the scanner must be removed from Intellistand and re-paired to the remote device. To accomplish this, pull the trigger which engages the auto-reconnect feature, or scan the pairing bar code for the remote device.

However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement. Many factors affect the life of a battery pack such as heat, cold, customer usage profiles, age and severe drops. When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry, cool place between 41° F and 77° F (5° C and 25° C), the cooler the better, and removed from the equipment to prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery. Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected. Batteries must be charged within the 32° F to 104° F (0° C to 40°C) temperature range. The standard warranty period for all Symbol batteries is 30 days, regardless if the battery was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer.

Table 3-5 Cradle Pin-outs Pin Description 1 CRADLE_TXD 2 VCC 3 GND 4 CRADLE_RXD Chapter 4 Radio Communications Introduction This chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication between scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters necessary to configure the scanner. The scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Communication Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. If not using a Synapse or USB cable with the cradle, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host. To return all features to default values, scan a default bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-3. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). * Indicates Default *Disable Pair on Contacts Feature/Option Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. 4-2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Radio Communications Parameter Defaults Table 4-1 lists the defaults for radio communication parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Radio Communications Parameters section beginning on page 4-4.

Table 4-2 defines beep sequences that occur during pairing operations. (For additional beeper definitions, see Beeper Definitions on page 2-1.). Table 4-2 Wireless Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Four long low beeps 1. A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not properly configured. Check option setting. 2. When communicating with a cradle, the cradle acknowledges receipt of data. If the acknowledgment is not received, this transmission error beep sequence sounds. Data may still have been received by the host. Check the host system for receipt of transmitted data. If data was not received by the host, re-scan the bar code. Five high beeps Emitted every 5 seconds while a reconnection attempt is in progress. (See Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-14.) High/low/high/low beeps Pairing bar code scanned. Low/high beeps Bluetooth connection established. High/low beeps Bluetooth disconnection event. Note: When connected to a remote device using SPP or HID, if a disconnect beep sequence sounds immediately after a bar code is scanned, check the host device for receipt of transmitted data. It is possible that an attempt was made to transmit the last bar code scanned after the connection was lost. Long low/long high beeps Page timeout; remote device is out of range/not powered. (See Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-14.) Long low/long high/long low/ long high beeps Connection attempt was rejected by remote device. Note: In the case of Pairing Methods on page 4-21, the cradle may already be connected to another scanner in single Point-to-Point locked mode, or the piconet may be full in Multipoint-to-Point mode. If Pair On Contacts is enabled and the scanner that is inserted is already connected to the cradle, no beeping occurs. 4-4 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Radio Communications Host Types To set up the scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan the appropriate host type bar code below. • Cradle Host (default) - Select this host type for scanner(s) to cradle operation. The scanner must then be paired to the cradle and the cradle communicates directly to the host via the host interface cable connection. • Serial Port Profile (Master) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page 4-6). The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection. The scanner initiates the connection to the remote device and is the Master. Scan Serial Port Profile (Master), then scan the PAIR bar code for the remote device. See Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-22 for information about creating a pairing bar code for a remote device. • Serial Port Profile (Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page 4-6). The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the Slave. Scan Serial Port Profile (Slave) and wait for the incoming connection. • Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. (See page 4-6 for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and Master/Slave definitions.) The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the slave. Scan Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) and wait for the incoming connection. NOTE 1.The scanner supports keyboard emulation over the Bluetooth HID profile. For detailed information, and HID host parameters, see HID Host Parameters on page 4-8. 2. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-14. Radio Communications Radio Communications Host Types (continued) *Cradle Host Serial Port Profile (Master) Serial Port Profile (Slave) Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) 4-5 4-6 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Bluetooth Technology Profile Support With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles. • SPP - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection. • HID - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard. Master/Slave Set Up The scanner can be set up as a Master or Slave. When the scanner is set up as a Slave, it is discoverable and connectable to other devices. When the scanner is set up as a Master, the Bluetooth address of the remote device to which a connection is requested is required. A pairing bar code with the remote device address must be created and scanned to attempt a connection to the remote device. See the Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-22 for information about creating a pairing bar code. Master When the scanner is set up as a Master (SPP), it initiates the radio connection to a slave device. Initiating the connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-22). Slave When the scanner is set up as a Slave device (SPP), the scanner accepts an incoming connection request from a remote device. NOTE The number of scanners is dependent on the host’s capability. Radio Communications 4-7 Bluetooth Friendly Name You can set a meaningful name for the scanner that appears in the application during device discovery. The default name is the scanner name followed by its serial number, e.g., LS4278 123456789ABCDEF. Scanning Set Defaults reverts the scanner to this name; use custom defaults to maintain the user-programmed name through a Set Defaults operation. To set a new Bluetooth Friendly Name, scan the following bar code, then scan up to 23 characters from Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. If the name contains less than 23 characters, scan End of Message on page E-7 after entering the name. NOTE If your application allows you to set a device name, this takes precedence over the Bluetooth Friendly Name. Bluetooth Friendly Name Discoverable Mode Select a discoverable mode based on the device initiating discovery: • Select General Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a PC. • Select Limited Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a mobile device (e.g., Motorola Q), and the device does not appear in General Discoverable Mode. Note that it can take longer to discover the device in this mode. The device remains in Limited Discoverable Mode for 30 seconds, and green LEDs flash while in this mode. It is then non-discoverable. To re-active Limited Discoverable Mode, press the trigger. *General Discoverable Mode Limited Discoverable Mode 4-8 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide HID Host Parameters The scanner supports keyboard emulation over the Bluetooth HID profile. In this mode the scanner can interact with Bluetooth enabled hosts supporting the HID profile as a Bluetooth keyboard. Scanned data is transmitted to the host as keystrokes. Following are the keyboard parameters supported by the HID host. HID Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes) Scan the bar code corresponding to the keyboard type. *North American Standard Keyboards French Windows German Windows French Canadian Windows 98 Spanish Windows Italian Windows Radio Communications HID Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes - continued) Swedish Windows UK English Windows Japanese Windows French Canadian Windows 2000/XP Portuguese/Brazilian Windows 4-9 4 - 10 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide HID Keyboard Keystroke Delay This parameter sets the delay, in milliseconds, between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when the HID host requires a slower transmission of data. *No Delay (0 msec) Medium Delay (20 msec) Long Delay (40 msec) HID CAPS Lock Override When enabled, the case of the data is preserved regardless of the state of the caps lock key. This setting is always enabled for the “Japanese, Windows (ASCII)” keyboard type and can not be disabled. *Do Not Override Caps Lock Key (Disable) Override Caps Lock Key (Enable) Radio Communications 4 - 11 HID Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds. *Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters (Enable) Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters (Disable) Emulate Keypad When enabled, all characters are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad. For example, ASCII A is sent as "ALT make" 0 6 5 "ALT Break." *Disable Keypad Emulation Enable Keypad Emulation 4 - 12 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide HID Keyboard FN1 Substitution When enabled, this parameter allows replacement of any FN1 character in an EAN128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user. See FN1 Substitution Values on page 5-15 to set the Key Category and Key Value. *Disable Keyboard FN1 Substitution Enable Keyboard FN1 Substitution HID Function Key Mapping ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control-key sequences. When this parameter is enabled, the keys in bold are sent in place of the standard key mapping (see Table 8-2 on page 8-120. Table entries that do not have a bold entry remain the same whether or not this parameter is enabled. *Disable Function Key Mapping Enable Function Key Mapping Radio Communications 4 - 13 Simulated Caps Lock When enabled, the scanner inverts upper and lower case characters on the scanner bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the keyboard. This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard Caps Lock state. *Disable Simulated Caps Lock Enable Simulated Caps Lock Convert Case When enabled, the scanner converts all bar code data to the selected case. *No Case Conversion Convert All to Upper Case Convert All to LowerCase 4 - 14 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Auto-reconnect Feature When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The scanner tries to reconnect for the period of time specified by the Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During that time the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails due to page time-outs, the scanner sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and enters low power mode. The auto-reconnect process can be re-started by pulling the scanner trigger. If the auto-reconnect process fails because the remote device rejects the connection attempt, the scanner sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-3) and deletes the remote pairing address. If this happens, a pairing bar code must be scanned to attempt a new connection to the remote device. NOTE If a bar code is scanned while the auto-reconnect sequence is in process, a transmission error beep sequence sounds and the data is not transmitted to the host. After a connection is reestablished, normal scanning operation returns. For error beep sequence definitions, see Beeper Definitions on page 2-1. The scanner has memory available for storing a remote Bluetooth address for each Master mode (SPP, Cradle). When switching between these modes, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to the last device it was connected to in that mode. NOTE Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code (page 4-4) causes the radio to be reset. Scanning is disabled during this time. It takes several seconds for the scanner to re-initialize the radio at which time scanning is enabled. Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback When a scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the scanner attempts to reconnect, the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the scanner emits a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and stops blinking the LED. The process can be restarted by pulling the trigger. The Beep on Reconnect Attempt feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the scanner emits 5 short high beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress. Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Beep on Reconnect Attempt. *Disable Beep on Reconnect Attempt Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt Radio Communications 4 - 15 Reconnect Attempt Interval When a scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect for the default time interval of 30 seconds. This time interval can be changed to one of the following options: • 30 seconds • 1 minute • 5 minutes • 30 minutes • 1 hour • Indefinitely. To set the Reconnect Attempt Interval, scan one of the bar codes below *Attempt to Reconnect for 30 Seconds Attempt to Reconnect for 1 Minute Attempt to Reconnect for 5 Minutes 4 - 16 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Reconnect Attempt Interval (continued) Attempt to Reconnect for 30 Minutes Attempt to Reconnect for 1 Hour Attempt to Reconnect Indefinitely Radio Communications 4 - 17 Auto-reconnect in Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) Mode In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) mode, select a re-connect option for when the scanner loses its connection with a remote device: • Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code. With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The scanner sounds a decode beep upon bar code scan, followed by a connection, a page timeout, a rejection beep, or a transmission error beep. Select this option to optimize battery life on the scanner and mobile device. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands. • Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the scanner loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If a page timeout occurs, the scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select this option if the scanner’s battery life is not an issue and you do not want a delay to occur when the first bar code is transmitted. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands. • Disable Auto-reconnect: When the scanner loses connection, you must re-establish it manually. *Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data Auto-reconnect Immediately Disable Auto-reconnect Out of Range Indicator An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt on page 4-14 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-15. For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the scanner loses radio connection when it is taken out of range, the scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a Reconnect Attempt Interval. When Beep on Reconnect Attempt is enabled, the scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time, such as 30 minutes, the scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds for 30 minutes providing an out of range indicator. 4 - 18 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Scanner(s) To Cradle Support Modes of Operation The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to communicate wirelessly: • Point-to-Point • Multipoint-to-Point. Point-to-Point Communication In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled, page 4-21), or by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-20). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-23. To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point. Multipoint-to-Point Communication In Multipoint-to-Point communication mode, up to three scanners can be paired to one cradle. To activate this mode, the first scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4-19) feature that forwards parameter bar code settings to all connected scanners. In this mode, programming one scanner applies the settings to all connected scanners. To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code. Multipoint-to-Point Mode *Point-to-Point Mode Radio Communications 4 - 19 Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only) When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual scanner only, and the scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other scanners or from the cradle. *Enable Parameter Broadcast Disable Parameter Broadcast Pairing Pairing is the process by which a scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning Multipoint-to-Point activates multi scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to three scanners to pair to one cradle. The cradle includes a pairing bar code. To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds. NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle. 2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes. 3. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-14. 4 - 20 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Pairing Modes When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported: • Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner (or to three scanners in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different scanner, by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled (page 4-21), is rejected. The currently connected scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a Connection Maintenance Interval on page 4-23. • Unlocked Pairing Mode - Pair (connect) a new scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled. This unpairs the previous scanner from the cradle (Point-to-Point mode only). NOTE In Multipoint-to-Point mode, pairing a fourth scanner while in Unlocked Pairing Mode replaces any disconnected (out of range) scanner. However, if three scanners are actively connected to the cradle, a fourth scanner cannot connect unless you first disconnect one of the original scanners by scanning the Unpair bar code. To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate bar code below. *Unlocked Pairing Mode Locked Pairing Mode Lock Override Lock Override overrides a locked scanner base pairing and connects a new scanner. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, this unpairs any disconnected (out of range) scanner first, in order to connect the new scanner. To use Lock Override, scan the bar code below, followed by the pairing bar code on the cradle. LockOverride Radio Communications 4 - 21 Pairing Methods There are two pairing methods. The default method allows the scanner and cradle to pair (connect) when the pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the scanner and cradle when the scanner is inserted in the cradle. To enable this feature, scan Enable Pair On Contacts below. With this feature enabled it is not necessary to scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. If the pairing is successful, a low/high connection beep sequence sounds a few seconds after the scanner is placed in the cradle. See Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-3 for other beep sequences. To enable or disable pairing on contacts, scan the appropriate bar code below. Enable Pair On Contacts *Disable Pair on Contacts Unpairing Unpair the scanner from the cradle or PC/host to make the cradle available for pairing with another scanner. Scan the bar code below to disconnect the scanner from its cradle/PC host. An unpairing bar code is also included in the Symbol LS4278 Quick Reference Guide. Unpairing 4 - 22 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Pairing Bar Code Format When the scanner is configured as an SPP Master, you must create a pairing bar code for the remote Bluetooth device to which the scanner can connect. The Bluetooth address of the remote device must be known. Pairing bar codes are Code 128 bar codes and are formatted as follows: Bxxxxxxxxxxxx where: • B (or LNKB) is the prefix • xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address. Pairing Bar Code Example If the remote device to which the scanner can connect has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is: Paring Bar Code Content: ‘B’ + Bluetooth Address B112233445566 Radio Communications 4 - 23 Connection Maintenance Interval NOTE The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see page 4-20). When a scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the scanner immediately attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the auto-reconnect process fails, it can be restarted by pulling the scanner trigger. To guarantee that a disconnected scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves the connection for that scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Maintenance Interval. If the cradle is supporting the maximum three scanners and one scanner disconnects, a fourth scanner cannot pair to the cradle during this interval. To connect another scanner: either wait until the connection maintenance interval expires then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle with the new scanner; or, scan Lock Override (page 4-20) with the new scanner then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle. NOTE When the cradle supports the maximum three scanners, it stores the remote pairing address of each scanner in memory regardless of the scanner condition (e.g., discharged battery). When you want to change the scanners paired to the cradle, unpair each scanner currently connected to the cradle by scanning the Unpairing bar code prior and reconnect each appropriate scanner by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Connection Maintenance Interval options are: • 15 minutes • 30 minutes • One hour • Two hours • Four hours • Eight hours • 24 hours • Indefinitely. Considerations The system administrator determines the Connection Maintenance Interval. A shorter interval allows new users to gain access to abandoned connections more quickly, but causes problems if users leave the work area for extended periods. A longer interval allows existing users to leave the work area for longer periods of time, but ties up the system for new users. To avoid this conflict, users who are going off-shift can scan the unpair bar code on page 4-21 to ignore the Connection Maintenance Interval and make the connection immediately available. 4 - 24 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide To set the Connection Maintenance Interval, scan one of the bar codes below *Set Interval to 15 Minutes Set Interval to 30 Minutes Set Interval to 60 Minutes Set Interval to 2 Hours Set Interval to 4 Hours Set Interval to 8 Hours Set Interval to 24 Hours Set Interval to Forever Radio Communications 4 - 25 Bluetooth Security The scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the scanner. When Authentication is requested, the scanner uses its programmed PIN code to generate a link key. Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption. NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication. Authentication To force Authentication with a remote device (including the cradle), scan the Enable Authentication bar code below. To prevent the scanner from forcing Authentication, scan the Disable Authentication bar code below. Enable Authentication *Disable Authentication 4 - 26 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide PIN Code To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric programming bar codes (see Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. The default PIN code is 12345. If the scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the scanner and cradle. To achieve this, connect the scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN codes. If the scanner is not connected to a cradle, the PIN code change only takes affect on the scanner. If security is required between the scanner and cradle, and the PIN codes do not match, pairing fails. If the PIN codes are not synchronized, re-synchronize them by disabling security, establishing a connection to the cradle, and then programming a new PIN code. Set PIN Code Variable PIN Code The default PIN code is the user-programmed Static PIN Code. Typically, however, HID connections require entering a Variable PIN Code. If, when attempting connection, the application presents a text box that includes a PIN, scan the Variable PIN Code bar code, then re-attempt connection. When you hear a beep indicating the scanner is waiting for an alphanumeric entry, enter the provided variable PIN using the Alphanumeric Bar Codes on page E-1, then scan End of Message on page E-7 if the code is less than 16 characters. The scanner discards the variable PIN code after connection. *Static PIN Code Variable PIN Code Radio Communications 4 - 27 Encryption NOTE Authentication must be performed before Encryption can take effect. To set up the scanner for enabling Encryption, scan Enable Encryption. To prevent the scanner from enabling Encryption, scan Disable Encryption. When enabled, the radio encrypts data. Enable Encryption * Disable Encryption 4 - 28 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Chapter 5 User Preferences Introduction If desired, program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features. The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming may not be necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host. To return all features to their default values, see Default Parameters on page 5-3. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). * Indicates Default *High Frequency Feature/Option Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 5-4. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, when an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. 5-2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide User Preferences Parameter Defaults Table 5-1 lists the defaults for user preferences parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the User Preferences section beginning on page 5-3.

This is useful when the scanner is decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol. Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character. For Code ID Characters, see Symbol Code Identifiers on page B-1 and AIM Code Identifiers on page B-2. NOTE If you enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character, and enable Transmit “No Read” Message on page 5-15, the scanner appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message. Symbol Code ID Character AIM Code ID Character *None User Preferences 5 - 13 Prefix/Suffix Values A prefix and/or suffix can be appended to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix: 1. Change the scan data format by scanning the appropriate Scan Data Transmission Format on page 5-13. 2. Scan the appropriate prefix/suffix bar code on page 5-13. 3. Scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value. NOTE 4. When using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit decimal value. See Table F-1 on page F-1 for the four-digit codes. To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Transmit “No Read” Message Scan a bar code below to select whether or not to transmit a No Read message. Enable this to transmit the characters NR when a bar code does not decode. Disable this to send nothing to the host if a symbol does not decode. NOTE If you enable Transmit No Read, and also enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character for Transmit Code ID Character on page 5-12, the scanner appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message. Enable No Read *Disable No Read 5 - 16 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Synapse Interface The auto-detection of a Synapse cable varies in duration depending on the type of Synapse connection. If a scanner is connected to another scanner using a Synapse cable, use the Auxiliary Synapse Port connection. In all other cases, where the cable is used, the default setting is recommended. To disconnect and reconnect the scanner from a Synapse cable that is connected to a live host via a Synapse, use the "Plug and Play" setting. Do not change this setting from the default if an on-board wedge host is enabled. *Standard Synapse Connection Auxiliary Synapse Port Connection “Plug and Play” Synapse Connection User Preferences 5 - 17 Batch Mode The scanner supports three versions of batch mode. When the scanner is configured for any of the batch modes, it attempts to store bar code data (not parameter bar codes) until transmission is initialized, or the maximum number of bar codes are stored. When a bar code is saved successfully, a good decode beep sounds and the LED flashes green. If the scanner is unable to store a new bar code, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds. (See pages 2-1, 2-3 and 4-3 for all beeper and LED definitions.) In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of bar codes) the scanner can store as follows: Number of storable bar codes = 2,000 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the bar code + 3). Modes of Operation • Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The scanner attempts to transmit every scanned bar code. • Out of Range Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data when it loses its connection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks back into range). • Standard Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data after Enter Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning Send Batch Data. NOTE Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost. • Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data when Enter Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the scanner into the cradle. NOTE If the scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until the scanner is re-inserted in the cradle. In all modes, transmissions are halted if the scanner is moved out of range. The scanner resumes when it is back in range. If a bar code is scanned while batch data is transmitted it is appended to the end of the batched data; parameter bar codes are not stored. 5 - 18 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Batch Mode (continued) *Normal Out of Range Batch Mode Standard Batch Mode Cradle Contact Batch Mode Enter Batch Mode Send Batch Data Chapter 6 Keyboard Wedge Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the cradle between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer via the cradle interface. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard. This interface adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. In this mode the keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). * Indicates Default *North American Feature/Option 6-2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Connecting a Keyboard Wedge Interface NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication.

The RS-232 interface is used to attach the scanner cradle to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (i.e., COM port). If the particular host is not listed in Table 6-2, set the communication parameters to match the host device. Refer to the documentation for the host device. NOTE This scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Motorola offers different cables providing the TTL to RS-232C conversion. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for more information. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). * Indicates Default *Baud Rate 57,600 Feature/Option 7-2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Connecting an RS-232 Interface NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication The scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence sounds. This connection is made directly from the cradle to the host computer. Serial Port Connection to Host Interface Cable Figure 7-1 RS-232 Direct Connection To connect the RS-232 interface: 1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the scanner cradle (see Connecting the Cradle on page 1-6). 2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host. 3. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable. Plug the power supply into an appropriate outlet. 4. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from RS-232 Host Types on page 7-6. 5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 7-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same. RS-232 Interface 7-3 If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not recognize the new host. RS-232 Parameter Defaults Table 7-1 lists the defaults for RS-232 host parameters. If any option needs to be changed, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Parameter Descriptions section beginning on page 7-4.

Select the parity type according to host device requirements. • Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. • Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. • Select Mark parity and the parity bit is always 1. • Select Space parity and the parity bit is always 0. • Select None when no parity bit is required. Odd Even Mark Space *None RS-232 Interface 7-9 Stop Bit Select The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements. *1 Stop Bit 2 Stop Bits Data Bits (ASCII Format) This parameter allows the scanner to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol. 7-Bit *8-Bit 7 - 10 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Check Receive Errors Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above. *Check For Received Errors (Enable) Do Not Check For Received Errors (Disable) Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence: • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost. • When the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data. • When data transmission is complete, the scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character. • The host should respond by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next transmission of data. During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is de-asserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded. If the above communication sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned. If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence. NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state. RS-232 Interface 7 - 11 Hardware Handshaking (continued) • None: Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. • Standard RTS/CTS: Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. • RTS/CTS Option 1: When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete. • RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. • RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete. *None Standard RTS/CTS RTS/CTS Option 1 RTS/CTS Option 2 RTS/CTS Option 3 7 - 12 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Software Handshaking This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options. If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence. • None: When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from host. • ACK/NAK: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs. • ENQ: When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors. • ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required. • XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. • XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The scanner waits up to 30 seconds for the XON.

This mode is used whenever wand emulation communication is needed. The scanner cradle connects either to an external wand decoder or to a decoder integrated in a portable terminal or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. In this mode the scanner emulates the signal of a digital wand to make it “readable” by a wand decoder. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). * Indicates Default *Transmit Unknown Characters Feature/Option 10 - 2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Connecting Using Wand Emulation NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication The scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence sounds. To perform Wand Emulation, connect the cradle to a portable data terminal, or a controller which collects the wand data and interprets it for the host. Wand Port Interface Cable Mobile Computer Figure 10-1 Wand Emulation Connection To connect the Wand Emulation interface: 1. Attach the modular connector of the Wand Emulation interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the scanner cradle (see Connecting the Cradle on page 1-6). 2. Connect the other end of the Wand Emulation interface cable to the wand port on the mobile computer or controller. 3. Select the Wand Emulation host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from Wand Emulation Host Types on page 10-4. 4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 10-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same. If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not recognize the new host. CAUTION Connect the cradle to a 5 volt decoder only. Connecting the cradle to a 12 volt decoder can damage the scanner and invalidate the warranty.

A leading margin is the time that precedes the first bar of the scan, (in milliseconds). The minimum allowed value is 80 msec and the maximum is 250 msec. This parameter accommodates older wand decoders which cannot handle short leading margins. NOTE 250 msec is the maximum value that this parameter can attain, however, 200 msec is sufficient. *80 msec 140 msec 200 msec 10 - 6 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Polarity Scan a bar code below to select the polarity required by the decoder. Polarity determines how the cradle's Wand Emulation interface creates the Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). DBP is a digital signal that represents the scanned bar code. Different decoders expect the DBP to be in a certain format. The DBP either has the "highs" represent bars and the "lows" represent spaces (margins), or the "highs" represent spaces (margins) and the "lows" represent bars. *Bar High/Margin Low Bar Low/Margin High Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and the scanner emits an error beep. *Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters Wand Emulation Interface 10 - 7 Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 By default, the Wand Emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the same symbology that was decoded. This can be a problem for customers with older systems that do not recognize newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar). Enabling this parameter ignores the original symbology decoded, and outputs the data as if it were a Code 39 bar code. Any lowercase characters in the original data stream are transmitted as uppercase characters. This also allows ADF rules. If Ignore Unknown Characters is enabled, any characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set are replaced by a space. If Ignore Unknown Characters is disabled, if any characters that do not have a corresponding character are encountered, the scanner emits an error beep and no data is transmitted. NOTE ADF Note: By default, the Wand Emulation interface does not allow scanned data to be processed by ADF rules. Enabling this parameter has the side effect of allowing the scanned data to be processed by the ADF rules (see Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting).

Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host 11 - 4 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Scanner Emulation Host Parameters Beep Style The Scanner Emulation host supports three beep styles. • Beep On Successful Transmit: The scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the scanner, so the scanner and the attached decoder beep at the same time. • Beep At Decode Time: The scanner beeps upon decode. This results in a double beep sequence from most decoders, since the scanner beeps, and the decoder beeps (at a different frequency) when it successfully decodes the output. • Do Not Beep: Only the attached decoder issues the decode beep. *Beep On Successful Transmit Beep At Decode Time Do Not Beep Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 5 Parameter Pass-Through The Scanner Emulation host can process parameter bar code messages and send them to the attached decoder. In this way, customers using Symbol compliant decoders can control the behavior of the entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. For example, to enable D 2 of 5, scan the D 2 of 5 Enable parameter bar code. The scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter. *Parameter Process and Pass-Through Parameter Process Only 11 - 6 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Convert Newer Code Types The scanner supports a variety of code types that are not decodable by attached decoder systems.

Scan the Ignore Decode LED bar code to disable the Transmit Error beeps. *Check For Decode LED Ignore Decode LED Chapter 12 123Scan Introduction 123Scan is a Windows®-based utility that programs the scanner with all parameters including ADF rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to ensure compatibility between bar coded data and the host application. Scanners can be programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the utility. Scanner programming is saved in a file for electronic distribution. The 123Scan program includes a help file. NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication The scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence sounds. Communication with 123Scan To communicate with the 123Scan program which runs on a host computer running a Windows operating system, use an RS-232 cable to connect the scanner cradle to the host computer (see Connecting an RS-232 Interface on page 7-2). 123Scan requirements: • Host computer with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP • Scanner • Cradle • RS-232 cable. 12 - 2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide 123Scan Parameter To communicate with the 123Scan program, load 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto the host computer, and scan the bar code below. Refer to 123Scan instructions for programming the scanner. Scan the bar code below to enable the 123Scan interface on the scanner. 123Scan Configuration Chapter 13 Symbologies Introduction This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Parameter Defaults on page 13-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host. To return all features to default values, scan the appropriate default bar code on page 5-3. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). * Indicates Default *Enable UPC-A Feature/Option Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 13-13. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, require scanning several bar codes. See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. 13 - 2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Symbology Parameter Defaults page 13-2 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store) This feature allows the scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 symbols. Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a first character for later transmission. The leading space is not buffered. Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission in sequence of all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus transmission of the “triggering” symbol. See the following pages for further details. When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, all decoded Code 39 symbols are transmitted immediately without being stored in the buffer. 13 - 28 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend configuring the scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only. Buffer Code 39 (Enable) *Do Not Buffer Code 39 (Disable) While there is data in the transmission buffer, selecting Do Not Buffer Code 39 is not allowed. The buffer holds 200 bytes of information. To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission (see Transmit Buffer on page 13-29) or clear the buffer. Buffer Data To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 symbol must be read with a space immediately following the start pattern. • Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the scanner issues a low/high beep to indicate successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer.) • The scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer. • No transmission occurs. Clear Transmission Buffer To clear the transmission buffer, scan the Clear Buffer bar code below, which contains only a start character, a dash (minus), and a stop character. • The scanner issues a short high/low/high beep. • The scanner erases the transmission buffer. • No transmission occurs. Clear Buffer Symbologies 13 - 29 NOTE Because the Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character, set the Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code. Transmit Buffer There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer. 1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below which contains only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character. • The scanner transmits and clears the buffer. • The scanner issues a low/high beep. Transmit Buffer 2. Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space. • The scanner appends new decode data to buffered data. • The scanner transmits and clears the buffer. • The scanner signals that the buffer was transmitted with a low/high beep. • Scanner transmits and clears the buffer. NOTE Because the Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character, set the Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code. Overfilling Transmission Buffer The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read results in an overflow of the transmission buffer: • The scanner indicates that the symbol was rejected by issuing three long, high beeps. • No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected. Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer If the symbol just read was the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty: • A short low/high/low beep signals that the buffer is empty. • No transmission occurs. • The buffer remains empty. 13 - 30 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Code 93 Enable/Disable Code 93 To enable or disable Code 93, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application. • Security Level 0: This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes. • Security Level 1: Select this option if misdecodes occur. This security level should eliminate most misdecodes. • Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes. • Security Level 3: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes. *Security Level 0 Security Level 1 Security Level 2 Security Level 3 Symbologies 13 - 53 Bi-directional Redundancy Enable Bi-directional Redundancy to add security to linear code type security levels. When enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before reporting a good decode. Enable Bi-directional Redundancy *Disable Bi-directional Redundancy Symbology - Intercharacter Gap The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is customarily quite small. Due to various bar code printing technologies, this gap may grow larger than the maximum size allowed, causing the scanner to be unable to decode the symbol. If this problem is encountered, scan Large Intercharacter Gaps to tolerate out-of-specification bar codes. *Normal Intercharacter Gaps Large Intercharacter Gaps 13 - 54 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Chapter 14 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 14-8, which allows programming the scanner with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters. To add a prefix or suffix value for such bar codes, use Prefix/Suffix Values on page 5-13. Using ADF with longer bar codes transmits the bar code in segments of length 252 or less (depending on the host selected), and applies the rule to each segment Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions ADF uses rules to customize data. These rules perform detailed actions when the data meets certain criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple criteria applied to single or multiple actions. For instance, a data formatting rule could be: Criteria: When scan data is Code 39, length 12, and data at the start position is the string “129”, Actions: pad all sends with zeros to length 8, send all data up to X, send a space. Scanning a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 transmits the following: 00001299 . If you scan a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598, this rule is ignored because the bar code did not meet the length criteria. The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs. 14 - 2 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 14-8. • Specify Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits “129”). See Criteria on page 14-11. • Select Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule specify how to format the data for transmission. See Actions on page 14-24. • Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 14-8. This places the rule in the “top” position in the rule buffer. • To correct any errors, see Erase on page 14-9 to erase criteria, actions, and entire rules. ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules for scan data. An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes have the following format: MMMMMPPPPPDD Where: M = Manufacturer ID P = Part Number D = Destination Code The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID , part number , and destination code . At this center the UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code. The following rules need to be entered: When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key , send the next 5 characters, send the part number key , send the next 2 characters, send the destination code key . When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key . To enter these rules, see the following steps.

If you already saved the rule, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 14-9. Alternate Rule Sets You can group ADF rules into one of four alternate sets which you can turn on and off when needed. This is useful to format the same message in different ways. For example, a Code 128 bar code contains the following information: Class (2 digits), Stock Number (8) digits, Price (5 digits) The bar code might look like this: 245671243701500 where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily, data is sent as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 14 - 4 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide and the cashier keys the price manually. To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key. The “sale” rule may look like this: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key. To switch between the two sets of rules, program a “switching rule” that specifies what type of bar code to scan to switch between the rule sets. For example, in the case of the “sale” rule above, the rule programmer wants the cashier to scan the bar code “M” before a sale. To do this, a rule can be entered as follows: When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “M”, select rule set number 1. Program another rule to switch back. When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “N”, turn off rule set number 1. Or include the switching back to normal rules in the “sale” rule: When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1. For optimal results, scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 14-10 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set. In addition to enabling and disabling rule sets within the rules, enable or disable them by scanning the appropriate bar codes on page 14-10. Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes) The order of programming individual rules is important.Program the most general rule first. All programmed rules are stored in a buffer. As they are programmed, they are stored at the “top” of a rules list. If you create three rules, the list is configured as follows: Third Rule Second Rule First Rule When you scan data, the rules list is checked from top to bottom to determine if the criteria matches (and therefore, if the actions occur). Input is modified into the data format specified by the first matching set of criteria it finds. Be sure to program the most general rule first. For example, if the THIRD rule states: When scanning a bar code of any length, send all data, then send the ENTER key. And the SECOND rule states: When scanning a Code 128 bar code of length 12, send the first four characters, then send the ENTER key, then send all remaining data. and you scan a Code 128 bar code of length 12, the THIRD rule applies, and the SECOND rule appears to not function. Advanced Data Formatting 14 - 5 Note that using the standard data editing functions also creates ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the digital scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 5-13. These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order you create them is also important. Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. Disable default rules by entering the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data. Since this rule always applies, ADF never applies the default rules. 14 - 6 Symbol LS4278 Product Reference Guide ADF Bar Codes Table 14-1 lists the bar codes available through ADF.

This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation. IEC (825) Class 1. This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 120 seconds of laser operation within any 1000 second window and an automatic laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails. Intercharacter Gap. The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete code. Interleaved 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups of five bars and five interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides for greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/spaces) within each group determines which characters are encoded. This continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces.
