Introduction

The N86XX engine is designed for integration into a wide range of OEM

devices. The engine’s compact mechanical design can drop into many existing

applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate the ben-

efits of image-based scanning into a variety of devices, including hand held

computers (medical instrumentation, kiosks, diagnostic equipment, and robot-

ics.

Three different decoding configurations provide OEMs the flexibility required to

address various application-specific needs. The N8610/8613, with linear

decoding, delivers laser-like reading on linear codes. The N8680/8683 unit

decodes linear as well as 2D and postal codes. In addition to linear, 2D, and

postal codes, the N8690/8693 unit includes the OCR feature. For software

updates and additional information, visit the Honeywell website at

www.honeywellaidc.com.

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming

instructions for the N86XX engine. Dimensions, warranty, and customer sup-

port information are also included.

Honeywell’s bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common

terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,

programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking Your Device

After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM engine(s), take the fol-

lowing steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the

carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Connecting the Development Engine to the PC

The development OEM engine can connect to a PC for evaluation.

Connecting with USB

Note: If using the N86XXX-XXX-XX5 engine with USB Micro-B, do not supply

power through the flex connector. Doing so may damage the host or

engine. The N86XXX-XXX-XX5 engine will only communicate USB

through the Micro-B connector. The N86XXX-XXX-XX3 engine will only

communicate USB through the 10 pin modular connector.

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. If using full-speed USB, connect the USB interface cable to the

interface board and to the matching USB port on the computer.

1 - 4

2a. If using hi-speed USB, connect the USB interface cable to the side of

the engine and to the USB port on the computer.

Note: For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to

Honeywell’s “USB Application Note,” available at

www.honeywellaidc.com.

3. When connecting the engine using full-speed or high-speed USB, all

communication parameters between the engine and terminal must

match for correct data transfer using USB protocol. Scan the

appropriate USB interface bar code below.

4. Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a

bar code is successfully decoded.

Full-Speed USB

High-Speed USB

Connecting with RS232 Serial Port

1. If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to

the interface board and to the matching port on the back of the com-

puter.

2. Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable. Plug

in the power supply.

3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps.

4. If connecting the engine using an RS-232 interface, all communication

parameters between the engine and terminal must match for correct

data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan the

RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs the engine for an

RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,

and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

RS-232 Interface

1 - 6

5. Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a

bar code is successfully decoded.

To connect an engine to your host system, refer to the N86XX Integration

Manual.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by send-

ing serial commands to the engine. If you want to restrict the ability to scan

menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Contact the

nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page 12-1) for

further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom

defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scan-

ning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command

requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that

entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered

all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save

Custom Defaults bar code.

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting.

To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you

had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom

defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set

Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code,

and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain,

but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your engine, scan the Acti-

vate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar

code for most users. It resets the engine to the custom default settings. If there

Save Custom Defaults

Set Custom Defaults

1 - 7

are no custom defaults, it will reset the engine to the factory default settings.

Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be

defaulted to the factory default settings.

Resetting the Factory Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your engine, or you’ve

changed some options and want to restore the engine to factory default set-

tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate

Defaults. This resets the engine to the factory default settings.

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 10-5 list the factory default settings

for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming

pages).

This selection erases all your settings and resets the engine to the origi-

nal factory defaults. It also disables all plugins

Programming the Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.

Programming the Interface - Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant set up for commonly used interfaces.

Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have

the interface in effect.

RS232 Serial Port

The RS232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port

of a PC or terminal. The following RS232 Interface bar code also pro-

grams a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF) suffix, baud rate, and

data format as indicated below. It also changes the trigger mode to man-

ual.

USB PC

Scan the following code to program the engine for USB PC Keyboard.

Scanning this code also adds a CR and LF.

USB COM Port Emulation

Scan the following code to program the engine to emulate a regular

RS232-based COM Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you

will need to download a driver from the Honeywell website

Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

Caps Lock

is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Shift Lock

is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common

to U.S. keyboards).

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.

The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off. This selection

can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock sta-

tus (AT keyboards).

Autocaps via NumLock

bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-

many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.

The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the Num-

Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external

keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power

cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lower-

case. So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can make the

output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to

“abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.

These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for

Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-11). Otherwise, your output may not be as

expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off

Control Character Output

This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example,

when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would

display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart

(Code Page 1252) on page A-4. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the

first column of the chart).

Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.

Keyboard Modifiers

This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and

Turbo Mode.

Control + ASCII Mode On: The engine sends key combinations for ASCII con-

trol characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard

country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not

support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode.

Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 8-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values.

Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The engine sends key combinations for

ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it does not transmit any prefix or

suffix information.

Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an applica-

tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and

punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications that require use of the full

ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.

Default = 8.

Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2.

Default = 1.

Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out

expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232

receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset

the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The

receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232

receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the

inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300

seconds.

Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).

RS232 Handshaking

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the engine using

software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no

data flow control is used.

Flow Control, No Timeout: The engine asserts RTS when it has data to send,

and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.

Two-Direction Flow Control: The engine asserts RTS when it is OK for the

host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.

Flow Control with Timeout: The engine asserts RTS when it has data to send

and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-18) for CTS to be asserted

by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device trans-

mit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

Default = RTS/CTS Off.

RS232 Timeout

When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the

delay you want to wait for CTS from the host. Set the length (in millisec-

onds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the time-

out (from 1-5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back

cover, then scanning Save.

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the engine to start

sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off).

When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the engine,

data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON

character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off

when XOFF was sent.

Default = XON/XOFF Off

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the engine waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a

NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the

communications cycle is completed and the engine looks for more bar

codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and

Power Up Beeper

The engine can be programmed to beep when it’s powered up. If you are using

a cordless system, the base can also be programmed to beep when it is pow-

ered up. Scan the Off bar code(s) if you don’t want a power up beep.

Default =

Power Up Beeper On - Scanner.

Beep on BEL Character

You may wish to force the engine to beep upon a command sent from the host.

If you scan the Beep on BEL On bar code below, the engine will beep every

time a BEL character is received from the host.

Number of Beeps – Good Read

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The

same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response

to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps,

there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read.

The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the

number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar

code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual.

Default = 1.

Number of Beeps – Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the engine for a bad read

or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For example, if you program this

option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED

flashes in response to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan

the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar

code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Default = 1.

Good Read Delay

This sets the minimum amount of time before the engine can read another

bar code.

Default = 0 ms (No Delay).

User-Specified Good Read Delay

If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar

code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning

digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Manual Trigger Modes

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or

until the trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced.

Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of

field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but

* No Delay

Short Delay (500 ms)

Medium Delay (1,000 ms)

Long Delay (1,500 ms)

slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you

require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range.

Default

= Manual Trigger-Normal.

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-

ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 10-4). When in serial mode,

the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate com-

mand is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time

has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger

when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has

timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or

using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar

code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning

digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning

Save.

Default = 30,000 ms.

Image Snap and Ship

Image Snap and Ship tells the engine to take a picture (rather than read a bar

code) when the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to

the host system as a jpeg file by default. To revert to bar code reading, you

must change to a different trigger mode (see Manual Trigger Modes beginning

on page 3-6).

Note: You must send a serial command for Manual Trigger Modes (see page

10-13) in order to use menu codes after using Image Snap and Ship.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the engine can read the

same

bar code a sec-

ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the

same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads.

Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is

required. Reread Delay only works in presentation modes.

Default = Medium.

User-Specified Reread Delay

If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below,

then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the

inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Illumination Lights

If you want the illumination lights on while reading a bar code, scan the Lights

On bar code, below. However, if you want to turn just the lights off, scan the

Lights Off bar code.

Default = Lights On.

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the engine’s field of view to make sure the engine

reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes

are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are

read.

In the example below, the gray area is the full engine field of view and the white

area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will

be.

The default centering window is a 169x128 pixel area in the center of the

engine’s field of view. The following diagram illustrates the default top, bottom,

left, and right pixel positions, measured from the top and the left side of the

engine’s field of view, which is 844 by 640 pixels.

If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output

by the engine. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the engine

only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the Top,

Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the

top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you

want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this

manual. Scan Save.

Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bot-

tom and Right.

Preferred Symbology

The engine can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority

over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear

on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.

For example, you may be using the engine in a retail setting to read U.P.C. sym-

bols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some

licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use

Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the

Code 39.

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority,

or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the

engine ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on

page 3-12) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority

symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.

If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the

engine will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is

no bar code in the engine’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data

is reported.

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology.

Default =

Preferred Symbology Off.

High Priority Symbology

To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology

bar code below. On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology

you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology

and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back

cover). Scan Save to save your selection.

Default = None

Low Priority Symbology

To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar

code below. On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology you

want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and

scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan

the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart for the next symbology.

You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to save your

selection.

Default = None

Preferred Symbology Time-out

Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low

priority symbologies, you must set the time-out period. This is the period of

time the engine will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority

bar code has been encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the

delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back

cover, then scanning Save.

Default = 500 ms.

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence

When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the engine

decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited

sequence or the engine will not transmit the output data to the host device.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is

turned on.

Output Sequence Editor

This programming selection allows you to program the engine to output

data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your appli-

cation requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are

scanned. Reading the

Default Sequence

symbol programs the engine to

the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain

you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the

Default

Sequence

symbol.

Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the

code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application

requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read

these options.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the

Enter Sequence

symbol (see Require Output

Sequence, page 3-16).

2. Code I.D.

On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you

want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that

symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart

(inside back cover).

3. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be

acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the

Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is

a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length,

you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted

characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences

On the Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes, page A-6, find the

Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the

Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that

represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number,

indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar

codes, but you want the engine to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and

Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:

SEQBLKsequence editor start command

Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the

output sequence operation is terminated before completion. Scan Trans-

mit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the

sequence where no data match occurred will be skipped in the output.)

Require Output Sequence

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an

edited sequence or the engine will not transmit the output data to the host

device. When it’s On/Not Required, the engine will attempt to get the out-

put data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the engine

transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is

Off

, the bar code data is output to the host as

the engine decodes it.

Default = Off.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is

turned on.

Multiple Symbols

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple

symbols with a single pull of the trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aim-

ing at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on)

No Read

With No Read turned On, the engine notifies you if a code cannot be read. If

using an EZConfig Tool Scan Data Window (see page 9-3), an “NR” appears

when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.

Default = Off.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer

along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,

user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section

are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and

after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,

or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break-

down of a message string:

Points to Keep In Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this

chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.

Default

prefix = None. Default suffix = None

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all

symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one

time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear

on the output.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all

symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix

or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters,

which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the

Prefix Scanned DataSuffix

symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For

example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish

to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.

To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once

to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash

itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for

U.P.C.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a

symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single sym-

bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char-

acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the

prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

4 - 3

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart

(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the

symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all

symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then pro-

grams a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the

scanned data, the engine transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of

these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on

page 8-2. When the engine is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-

verted to a key code before it is transmitted.

Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and

Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.

Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of

data, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may

be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data.

Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of

5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside

the back cover of this manual.

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the

number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code using the Programming

Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.

User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may

be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data.

Scan the Delay Length bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms

delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the

back cover of this manual.

Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex

value for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay ASCII Conversion

Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-4.

To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the engine’s output. For exam-

ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in

bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used

only if you wish to alter the output.

Default Data Format setting = None.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however

when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send

Commands on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the engine. They are stacked in the

order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order

in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes

header information.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and

return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).

Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate

formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To

program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an

alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format

* Default Data Format

5 - 2

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page

5-10 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID

number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back

cover to program the engine for your terminal ID (you must enter 3

digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to

which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that

symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable

for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the

Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50

characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating

all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-4). Scan the symbols

that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric

characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving

your changes.

Enter Data Format

Save

Other Programming Selections

Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the

primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2,

or 3, depending on the format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type

and Code I.D. (see Symbology Chart on page A-1), and the bar code

data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other

formats remain unaffected.

Clear all Data Formats

This clears all data formats.

Save to exit and save your data format changes.

5 - 4

Discard to exit without saving any data format changes.

current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is not

numeric.

Insert a delay

EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting

from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands

for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only

be used with keyboard wedge interfaces.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as

read, including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created

and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and

suffixes are transmitted.

Data Formatter Off

5 - 9

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is

found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not

transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and

suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format

requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not

transmitted. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating

an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is

found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not

transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements

generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without

generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Choose one of the following options.

Default = Data Formatter On, Not

Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone

When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data for-

mat, the engine normally generates an error tone. However, you may want

to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you scan

the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t

conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound.

Primary/Alternate Data Formats

You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your

primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under

1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar

codes below.

Single Scan Data Format Change

You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next bar

code is scanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format

you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).

All Symbologies

If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your engine, scan the

All Symbologies On

code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a

particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for

that particular symbology.

Note: When All Symbologies On is scanned, 2D Postal Codes are not enabled.

2D Postal Codes must be enabled separately.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbolo-

gies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid read-

ing length, the engine will issue an error tone. You may wish to set the same

value for minimum and maximum length to force the engine to read fixed length

bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

Min. length = 09Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

Min. length = 15Max. length = 15

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,

scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the

digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming

Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum

lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character

Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can

program the engine to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check

characters.

Default = No Check Character.

No Check Character

indicates that the engine reads and transmits bar

code data with or without a check character.

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatena-

tion, the engine looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character,

adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two mes-

sages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Select Require to prevent the engine from decoding a single “D” Codabar

symbol without its companion. This selection has no effect on Codabar

symbols without Stop/Start D characters.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the engine to append the data from several Code 39

bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When

this function is enabled, the engine stores those Code 39 bar codes that

start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not

immediately transmit the data. The engine stores the data in the order in

Full ASCII

If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs within

the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single character. For example:

$V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as

the ASCII character #.

Default = Off

Character pairs /M and /N decode as a minus sign and period respectively.

Character pairs /P through /Y decode as 0 through 9.

Code 39 Code Page

Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the

data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be

because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that

is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case,

ISBT 128 Concatenation

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a

standard for communicating critical blood information in a uniform manner.

The use of ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application

Specification describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood prod-

ucts, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128 due to its high

degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128

Code 128 Append

This function allows the engine to append the data from several Code 128

bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When

this function is enabled, the engine stores those Code 128 bar codes that

start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not

immediately transmit the data. The engine stores the data in the order in

which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The

engine transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 128 bar code

that starts with a character other than a space.

Default = Off.
