interface type. Select other USB interface types by scanning programming bar codes. The following
international keyboards are supported (for Windows™ environment): North America, German, French,
French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Japanese, and Brazilian-Portuguese.
•
Synapse capability, which allows connection to a wide variety of host systems using a Synapse cable and
Synapse adapter cable. The digital scanner autodetects the Synapse interface.
•
Configuration via 123Scan.
Unpacking the Digital Scanner
Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it. If the digital scanner was damaged in transit, contact
Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. See page xvii for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the
approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment needs to be returned for servicing.
The Digital Scanner Cradle
The digital scanner cradle serves as a stand, charger, and host interface for the digital scanner. There are two
versions of the cradle:
•
Charging cradle with radio: All communication between the cordless digital scanner and the host computer
occurs through the cradle. Each bar code contains programming instructions or other data unique to the bar
code pattern. The digital scanner transmits bar code data to the cradle via a wireless radio antenna. 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. Since one radio-enabled cradle can
receive information from up to four digital scanners, it is possible to have several charge-only cradles.
The charging cradle with radio supports two modes of operation:
•
Single point mode: the cradle communicates with one digital scanner.
•
Multipoint mode: the cradle communicates with more than one digital scanner.
The cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a non-horizontal surface (such as a wall or forklift), depending on the
environment. For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included
with the cradle.

Figure 1-4
Connecting the Cables to the Cradle
Supplying Power to the Cradle
The cradle receives power from one of two sources:
•
An external power supply.
•
When connected to a powered host through a host cable that supplies power.
The cradle detects whether the host or an 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 Host to Supply Power
When connecting the cradle to a powered host, the host can sometimes power the cradle rather than an external
power supply. Consider the following when powering from a host:
•
The digital scanner charges at a slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.
•
The cradle can charge a digital scanner only in single point mode. An external power supply is required to
charge a digital scanner in multipoint mode.
•
A powered USB port provides enough power to the cradle for charging.
•
Not all hosts provide enough power to the cradle for charging. For these hosts, connect an external power
supply.
For more information on single and multipoint operation, see Pairing on page 1-9.
Host Port Power Port
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the digital scanner may not recognize the
new host.
Different hosts require different cables. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only.
The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner are the
same.
NOTE The radio link functions normally when the cradle draws power from a host.
1 - 6 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide
Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface
Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable detects the host.
Figure 1-5
Synapse Cable Connection
1. Plug the Synapse adapter cable into the bottom of the digital scanner cradle, as described in Connecting the
Cables to the Cradle on page 1-5.
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.
Reestablishing a Lost Connection to Host
If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle’s host, ensure you connected all cables securely, including the
power supply. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish 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.
6. Re-establish pairing with the cradle.

Digital Scanning
See Chapter 1, Getting Started to install and program the digital scanner. Also see DPM Scanning on page 5-5 for
DS3478-DP (DPM) digital scanning. To scan:
1. Aim the digital scanner at the bar code.
2. Press the scan trigger.
Figure 2-2
Aiming the Digital Scanner
The digital scanner projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the bar code or object within
the field of view.
Figure 2-3
Laser Aiming Pattern
If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.
3. Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is within the
rectangular area formed by the brackets in the pattern.
Figure 2-4
Centering Symbol in Aiming Pattern
1D bar code symbol 2D bar code symbol 2D dot peen DPM symbol
Aiming Pattern
Digital Scanning 2 - 7
4. Hold the trigger until the digital scanner beeps, indicating it successfully decoded the bar code. For more
information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.
This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until the
bar code decodes, you release the trigger, or the Decode Session Timeout occurs.
Aiming
Hold the digital scanner between two and nine inches (depending on symbol density; see Decode Zones on page
2-8) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern cross hairs on the symbol.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital 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 digital scanner, and those with larger
bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.
The digital scanner can also read a bar code within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top examples in
Figure 2-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples do not decode.
Figure 2-5
Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming
NOTE Scanning Direct Part Marks (DPMs) with the DS3478-DP (DPM) Digital Scanner: Due to the reflective
nature of some surfaces used with DPMs (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-6), to achieve the best results when
scanning DPMs, tilt the scanner at an angle relative to the target (25-45 degrees is recommended). As a
guide, if you are decoding a 23 mil dot peen mark and the scanner is set to the near field focus, present
the target between one and four inches from the nose of the scanner at a minimum tilt of 30 degrees.
When scanning standard (non-DPM) bar codes with any configuration of the DS3478 digital scanner,
follow the standard aiming instructions described in Aiming.

Chapter 4 User Preferences
Introduction
This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting these
features for the digital scanner.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see
Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit the
requirements, programming is not necessary.
Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved when you power down the digital scanner.
The digital scanner communicates with the host through the digital scanner cradle. During setup, you pair the
digital scanner with a cradle, which connects to the host through one of several interfaces (see Pairing on page 1-9
and the applicable host interface chapter). Each cradle can pair with up to four digital scanners.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the digital scanner
emits power-up beeps. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connecting to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the digital scanner may not recognize the
new host.
*Medium Frequency Feature/Option
* Indicates Default
4 - 2 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code under Beeper Tone on page 4-4. The digital scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Decode Session Timeout, require scanning several bar codes. See the parameter
description for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if you make an error during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.
User Preferences Default Parameters
Table 4-1 lists the defaults for user preference parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s)
provided in User Preferences on page 4-3.

Decode Session Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in
0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 3.0 seconds.
To set a Decode Session Timeout, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix D,
Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. For
example, to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the 0 and 5 bar
codes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Fuzzy 1D Decoding
Enable this parameter to increase aggressiveness when decoding significantly damaged 1D symbols. Disabling
this parameter reduces decode aggressiveness on such symbols, but increases decode aggressiveness on 2D

Radio Communications
Connection Maintenance Interval
When a digital scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the digital scanner
immediately attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the digital scanner does not reconnected within
30 seconds, it enters low power mode. Thereafter, when you scan a bar code, the digital scanner attempts to
reconnect before transmitting the data.
To guarantee that a disconnected digital scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves
the connection for that digital scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Maintenance Interval. If the
cradle already supports the maximum four digital scanners, and one digital scanner disconnects, a fifth digital
scanner cannot pair to the cradle during this interval. 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 4-13 to ignore the
Connection Maintenance Interval and make the connection immediately available.
To set the Connection Maintenance Interval, select one of the following bar codes.
*Set Interval to 15 Minutes

Radio Output Power
The Symbol DS3478 uses a Class 1 Bluetooth radio with a transmission range of up to 100m. Optionally place the
radio in Class 2 operating mode to restrict the transmission range to 10m and reduce the effect of the radio on
neighboring wireless systems.
Scan a bar code to select Class 1 or Class 2 operation.
Parameter Broadcast
Enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other digital scanners in the
piconet. Disable this to process parameter bar codes by the individual digital scanner only, and the digital scanner
ignores parameters broadcast from other digital scanners or from the cradle (e.g., parameters sent via 123Scan).

Single Point/Multipoint Operation
The cradle supports communication from up to four digital scanners simultaneously. This multipoint mode requires
an external power supply to charge the digital scanners in the cradle. To power the cradle from the interface cable
(either from the USB hub or from a power supply attached to the interface cable), place the cradle in single point
mode. In single point mode, only one digital scanner can connect to the cradle at a time.
To select single point or multipoint mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
Unpair
Scan the following bar code to disconnect the digital scanner from its cradle.
Unpairing
NOTE When operating in bus-powered mode, the cradle must turn off the Bluetooth radio to charge the digital
scanner. For this reason, only charge the digital scanner paired with the cradle in the cradle. Placing
another digital scanner in the cradle for charging disrupts communication with the paired digital scanner.
When setting options while in multipoint mode, allow time for the setting changes to apply to all digital
scanners.

Chapter 5 Decoding Preferences
Introduction
You can program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter
describes digital scanner preference features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Decoding Preferences Default Table on page 5-2 (also see
Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host 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 digital scanner powers down.
The digital scanner communicates with the host through the digital scanner cradle. During setup, the digital
scanner is paired with a cradle, which connects to the host through one of several interfaces (see Pairing on page
1-9 and the applicable host interface chapter). Each cradle can pair with up to four digital scanners.
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 connecting to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-3. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the digital scanner may not recognize the
new host.

Decoding Preferences
The parameters in this chapter control bar code decoding characteristics.
Focus Mode
Select the Focus Mode to control the working range of the digital scanner:
•
Select Far Focus to optimize the digital scanner to read at its far position. Use this mode when scanning
large bar codes in order to fit these bar codes in the digital scanner’s field of view.
•
Select Near Focus to optimize the digital scanner to read at its near position. Use this mode when scanning
small, high-density bar codes.
•
Smart Focus toggles the focus position after every frame. This mode is ideal for scanning a combination of
small and large bar codes. Note that this mode can result in a slight loss of scanning aggressiveness as the
digital scanner toggles between near and far focus.

Smart Focus
NOTE The default value for DS3478-DP (DPM) digital scanners is Near Focus.
5 - 4 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide
Decoding Illumination
Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the digital scanner to flash illumination to aid decoding. Enabling
illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to
the bar code increases.
Select Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using decoding illumination, typical for
outdoor scanning. Disabling this option extends battery life.
Decode Aiming Pattern
Select Enable Decode Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern during decoding, or Disable Decode Aiming
Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off.
*Enable Decoding Illumination
Disable Decoding Illumination
NOTE With Picklist Mode on page 4-7 enabled, the decode aiming pattern flashes even when the Decode
Aiming Pattern is disabled.
*Enable Decode Aiming Pattern
Disable Decode Aiming Pattern
Decoding Preferences 5 - 5
DPM Scanning
Unlike bar codes that are typically printed on labels, a direct part mark (DPM) is a symbol that is marked directly on
an item’s surface for permanent identification. These symbols are marked using methods such as laser etching
and dot peening (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-6 for an example of a dot peen symbol). The DS3478-DP (DPM) digital
reader scans these types of symbols.
To program the DS3478-DP digital scanner for DPM reading:
1. The DS3478-DP digital scanner can not read certain bar codes in near field. To ensure the digital scanner can
read all bar codes, scan Far Focus on page 5-3.
2. If you disabled DPM scanning in the DS3478-DP digital scanner, scan Enable DPM Scanning.
3. Before scanning a DPM bar code, ensure that Data Matrix on page 13-65 is enabled.
NOTE When the DS3478-DP digital scanner is DPM enabled, the digital scanner reads all symbols including
DPM, 1D, PDF417, etc. If you don’t need DPM reading, scan Disable DPM Scanning to ensure optimum
scanner performance.
If you enable DPM Scanning, disable Picklist Mode on page 4-7 when scanning a DPM bar code.
Picklist performance is not guaranteed for DPM bar codes.
Also, if you enable DPM Scanning, the scanner behaves as if you enabled the Data Matrix Inverse
Autodetect setting. When you disable DPM Scanning, the previous (user-selected) Data Matrix Inverse
setting remains in effect. See Data Matrix Inverse on page 13-65.

Chapter 6 Keyboard Wedge Interface
Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for programming the digital scanner for the keyboard wedge host interface, used
to connect the digital scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The digital 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, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

Data Bits
This parameter allows the digital scanner to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol.
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).
Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available. Enable Standard RTS/CTS
handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence:
•
The digital scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the digital scanner waits up to the Host
Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If the CTS line is still asserted after the Host
Serial Response Time-out expires (default), the digital scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any
scanned data.
•
When the CTS line is de-asserted, the digital scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to the Host Serial
Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the digital scanner transmits
data. If the CTS line is still de-asserted after Host Serial Response Time-out expires (default), the digital
scanner sounds a transmission error and discards the data.
•
When data transmission completes, the digital scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last
character.
•
The host responds by de-asserting CTS. The digital scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next
data transmission.
During data transmission, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is de-asserted for more than 50 ms between
characters, the digital scanner aborts transmission, sounds a transmission error, and discards the data.
If this communications sequence fails, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. Rescan
the data.
If hardware handshaking and software handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes precedence.

Hardware Handshaking (continued)
Scan a bar code to select one of the following hardware handshaking options:
•
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 - The digital scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The
digital scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission completes.
•
RTS/CTS Option 2 - RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the digital scanner
waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response
Time-out (default), the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
•
RTS/CTS Option 3 - The digital scanner asserts RTS before data transmission, regardless of the state of
CTS. The digital scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS
is not asserted during this time, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The
digital scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission completes.

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
Select this option to transmit data immediately. No response is expected from the host.
ACK/NAK
If you select this option, after transmitting data, the digital scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from
the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK.
After three unsuccessful attempts to send data after the scanner receives NAKs, the scanner issues an error
indication and discards the data.
The digital scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the
digital 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
If you select this option, the digital scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If it
does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the digital 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 digital scanner transmission off until the digital scanner receives an XON character.
There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
•
The digital scanner receives an XOFF before it has data to send. When the digital scanner has data to send,
it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If it does not receive
the XON within this time, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
•
The digital scanner receives an XOFF during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the
current byte. When the digital scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The
digital scanner waits up to 30 seconds for the XON.

Polarity
Polarity determines how the digital scanner’s wand emulation interface creates the Digitized Bar code Pattern
(DBP). DBP is a digital signal that represents the scanned bar code. Different decoders expect the DBP in a certain
format. The DBP either uses “highs” to represent bars and “lows” to represent spaces (margins), or “highs” to
represent spaces (margins) and “lows” to represent bars.
Scan the appropriate bar code to select the polarity required by the decoder.
Ignore Unknown Characters
Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. Select Send Bar Codes With Unknown
Characters to send all bar code data except for unknown characters. The digital scanner issues no error beeps.
Select Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters to prevent sending bar codes containing at least one
unknown character to the host. The digital scanner issues an error beep.

Convert All to Code 39
By default, the wand emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the decoded symbology. This can
present a problem for older systems that do not recognize some newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar).
Enable this parameter to ignore the decoded symbology, and transmit the data as a Code 39 bar code. Lowercase
characters in the original data stream transmit as uppercase characters. This also allows ADF formatting.
If you enabled Ignore Unknown Characters, the digital scanner replaces characters that do not have a
corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology with a space.
If you disabled Ignore Unknown Characters, and the digital scanner encounters characters that do not have a
corresponding Code 39 character, it emits an error beep and does not transmit data.
ADF Note: By default, the wand emulation interface does not allow scanned data to use ADF rules. Enabling this
parameter allows the scanned data to use ADF rules. See Chapter 15, Advanced Data Formatting.

Beep Style
The scanner emulation host supports three different beep styles.
•
Beep On Successful Transmit (default): The digital scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the
decode signal to the digital scanner. This way, the digital scanner and the decoder beep at the same time.
•
Beep at Decode Time: The digital scanner beeps on its decode. This results in a double beep sequence
from most decoders, since the digital scanner beeps, and the decoder beeps (at a different frequency) when
it successfully decodes the output.
•
Do Not Beep: The digital scanner does not beep; the attached decoder issues the decode beep.
In all cases, if an error occurs, the digital scanner issues error beeps.

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 system by scanning the
necessary parameters only once.
NOTE For example, to enable Discrete 2 of 5, scan the Enable Discrete 2 of 5 parameter bar code with the
digital scanner. The digital scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter.

Chapter 12 123Scan
Introduction
123Scan is a Windows®-based utility that programs the digital scanner with all parameters including Advanced
Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it transmits to the host, ensuring
compatibility between bar code data and the host application without having to modify the host software. You can
program digital scanners via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by 123Scan. Save digital
scanner programming in a file for electronic distribution. 123Scan includes a help file.
Setting Up 123Scan
To communicate with the 123Scan program:
1. Load 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto a host computer running Windows 98, Windows
2000, or Windows XP.
2. Connect the digital scanner to the host computer using an RS-232 cable. See Connecting an RS-232 Interface
on page 7-2.
3. Scan the following bar code to enable the 123Scan interface on the digital scanner. Refer to the 123Scan
instructions for programming the digital scanner.

Chapter 13 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features for
the digital scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 13-2 (also see Appendix
A, Standard Default Parameters for all host and miscellaneous digital scanner defaults). If the default values suit
requirements, programming is not necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code
sequences. To return all features to default values, scan Set Default Parameter on page 4-3.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the digital scanner
emits power-up beeps.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the
UPC-A check digit, scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1
Check Digit on page 13-13. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating a
successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in sequence. See the
parameter description for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if you make an error during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.

Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN
13+2). The following options are available:
• If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN
plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must
decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 13-12
before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13
bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a
supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN Supplemental
Redundancy on page 13-12 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The
scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.

Set Lengths for Code 39
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.
One Discrete Length - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing a
selected length. Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length. For example,
to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)
This feature allows the digital scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 symbols.
Select Buffer Code 39 to temporarily buffer all Code 39 symbols with a leading space as a first character for later
transmission. The leading space is not buffered. Since this feature affects Code 39 only, for best performance
configure the digital scanner to decode the Code 39 symbology only.
Decoding a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space transmits in sequence all buffered data in a first-in first-out
format, plus the “triggering” symbol. See the following pages for further details.
Select Do Not Buffer Code 39 to transmit all decoded Code 39 symbols immediately without storing in the buffer.
While there is data in the transmission buffer, you cannot select Do Not Buffer Code 39. 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
Transmitting Buffer on page 13-32) or clear the buffer.
Buffering Data
To buffer data, enable Code 39 buffering and read a Code 39 symbol with a space immediately following the start
pattern.
•
Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the digital scanner issues a low-high beep to indicate
successful decode and buffering. For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer.
•
The digital scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer.
•
No transmission occurs.

Clearing 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 digital scanner issues a short high-low-high beep and erases the
transmission buffer.
Transmitting Buffer
There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer:
•
Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code, which includes only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character.
The digital scanner transmits and clears the buffer, and issues a low-high beep.
•
Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space. The digital scanner appends the new
decode data to the buffered data, transmits and clears the buffer, and issues a low-high beep to signal that
the buffer was transmitted.
Overfilling Transmission Buffer
The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read overflows the transmission buffer, the digital
scanner issues three long high beeps to indicate it rejected the symbol, and 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, the digital scanner issues
a short low-high-low beep to signal that the buffer is empty, and no transmission occurs. The buffer remains empty.
Clear Buffer
NOTE Because the Clear Buffer bar code contains only the dash (minus) character, set the Code 39 length to
include length 1 before scanning this bar code.
Transmit Buffer
NOTE Because the Transmit Buffer bar code contains only a plus (+) character, set the Code 39 length to
include length 1 before scanning this bar code.

Enable/Disable Interleaved 2 of 5
To enable or disable Interleaved 2 of 5, scan the appropriate bar code below, and select an Interleaved 2 of 5
length.
Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for I 2 of 5 for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range.
One Discrete Length - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those I 2 of 5 symbols containing a
selected length. Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length. For example,
to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by
4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the digital scanner to decode only those I 2 of 5 symbols
containing either of two selected lengths. Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select
lengths. For example, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5 - Two
Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel
on page D-3.
Length Within Range - This option allows the digital scanner to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol within a specific
length range. Use the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select the length range. For
example, to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5 - Length Within
Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (insert a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change
the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
Any Length - This option allows the digital scanner to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of
characters within the digital scanner’s capability.
*Enable Interleaved 2 of 5
Disable Interleaved 2 of 5
NOTE Due to the construction of the I 2 of 5 symbology, the digital scanner can interpret a scan line covering
only a portion of the code as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To

Security Level
The digital scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select higher security levels for
lower quality bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decode speed, so be sure to choose
only that level of security necessary for the application.
Security Level 0
This default setting allows the digital scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in decoding
“in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.
Security Level 1
As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8).
If the digital scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters,
select this security level.
Security Level 2
If the digital scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not limited to characters 1,
2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
Security Level 3
If the digital scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme
measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security can significantly
impair the decoding ability of the digital scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of
the bar codes.

Macro PDF Features
Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The digital scanner can
decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to
50 MacroPDF symbols.
Flush Macro Buffer
This flushes the buffer of all decoded Macro PDF data stored to that point, transmits it to the host device, and
aborts from Macro PDF mode.
Abort Macro PDF Entry
This clears all currently-stored Macro PDF data in the buffer without transmission and aborts from Macro PDF
mode.
CAUTION When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.
Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When
scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire sequence without interruption. If, when scanning a
mixed sequence, the digital scanner emits two long low beeps (low-low) this indicates an inconsistent
file ID or inconsistent symbology error.

Chapter 14 Miscellaneous Scanner Options
Introduction
This chapter includes bar codes to customize how data transmits to the host device. Also see each host chapter for
the appropriate host connections and host device features for the digital scanner. See Chapter 13, Symbologies
and Chapter 15, Advanced Data Formatting for more options for customizing how data transmits to the host.
Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 14-1 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters
for all host and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not
necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. Other parameters, such as Prefix Value, require
scanning several bar codes in sequence. See the parameter description for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if you make an error during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.

Chapter 15 Advanced Data Formatting
Introduction
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device to suit
particular requirements.
To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes which begin on page 15-8, or use the 123Scan utility (see
Chapter 12, 123Scan) which allows programming the digital scanner with 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 and Scan Data Transmission Format on page 14-5. 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.
If the digital scanner scans a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828, it transmits the following: 00001299<space>.
If the digital scanner scans a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598, it ignores this rule because the bar code didn’t
meet the length criteria.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
NOTE If using the wand interface with the digital scanner, in order to use ADF rules to format data, first enable
Convert All to Code 39 on page 10-7.
15 - 2 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide
Creating ADF Rules
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 Begin New Rule on page 15-8.
•
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
15-11 for options.
•
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 15-27.
•
Save the Rule. Scan Save Rule on page 15-8. This places the rule in the “top” position in the rule buffer.
To erase criteria, actions, and entire rules, scan the appropriate bar code on page 15-9.
Beeper Definitions on page 2-2 guide through the programming steps.
ADF Programming Example
This section provides an example of how to enter ADF rules to use 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 host computer with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID <CTRL M>,
part number <CTRL P>, and destination code <CTRL D>. At this center the UPC data is treated as a manufacturer
ID code.
The center programs the following rules:
•
When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key
<CTRL M>, send the next 5 characters, send the part number key <CTRL P>, send the next 2 characters,
send the destination code key <CTRL D>.
•
When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key <CTRL M>.
To enter these rules, see the following section.

To correct any errors made while entering this rule, scan Quit Entering Rules on page 15-9, or after saving the rule,
scan Erase Previously Saved Rule on page 15-9.
Alternate Rule Sets
You can group ADF rules into one of four alternate sets to 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)
This 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)
15 - 4 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide
But, when there is a sale, send only the following:
24 (class key)
56712437 (stock key)
and the cashier enters 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” to specify what type of bar code to scan to
switch between 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, enter the rule 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 on page 15-10 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 15-10.
Advanced Data Formatting 15 - 5
Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)
When programming rules, be sure to program the most general rule first, as rules are stored at the “top” of a rules
list in a buffer as they are entered. For example, if you create three rules, the list is configured as follows:
Third Rule
Second Rule
First Rule
After scanning data, the rules hierarchy checks the rules list from top to bottom to determine if the criteria matches
(and therefore, whether to apply the actions). Actions modify the data format specified by the first matching set of
criteria it finds, then disregard subsequent rules. For this reason, 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 does not function.
Note standard data editing functions (scan options) are considered ADF rules, and the previous hierarchy applies
to them. Scan options include prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page
14-5. These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF rules, so the order you create them is also important.
Default Rules
Every scanner has a default rule to send all scan data. Scanners with custom software may have one or more
default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable
default rules enter 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.
Special Considerations for Multipoint Networks
ADF rules scanned by an individual scanner are NOT broadcast to other scanners in the piconet, as are other
parameters; however, ADF rules that 123Scan generates ARE broadcast to all scanners in the piconet. 123Scan
rules transmitted from the base are stored at the BEGINNING of the ADF rule buffer, regardless of the presence of
existing rules, while rules scanned by the scanner are appended to the existing buffer. For this reason, transmit
rules to be shared by all scanners from 123Scan FIRST. Then, scan rules to customize an individual scanner.

T
TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar
systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP
provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is received correctly at the other end.
UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is widely used for real-time voice and video
transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable
protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the address of the destination station, but the address of a
destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the
world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which
is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.
Telnet. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at a
terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.
Terminal Emulation. A “terminal emulation” emulates a character-based mainframe session on a remote non-mainframe
terminal, including all display features, commands and function keys. The VC5000 Series supports Terminal Emulations
in 3270, 5250 and VT220.
Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR). A program under DOS that ends its foreground execution to remain resident in
memory to service hardware/software interrupts, providing background operation. It remains in memory and may
provide services on behalf of other DOS programs.
TFTP. (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol that has no directory or
password capability. It is the protocol used for upgrading firmware, downloading software and remote booting of diskless
devices.
Tolerance. Allowable deviation from the nominal bar or space width.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. See TCP/IP.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. See TFTP.
TSR. See Terminate and Stay Resident.
U
UDP. User Datagram Protocol. A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery
is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored,
because there is no time to retransmit. If UDP is used and a reliable delivery is required, packet sequence checking and
error notification must be written into the applications.
UPC. Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two
spaces, each of which is any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States.
