Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions
Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code. Black bars
absorb light, white spaces reflect light. The scan engine collects the reflected light and processes the signal
through several analog filters. The filtered signal is digitized into a Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). The decoder
micro-controller analyzes timing information to decode and transmit the data contained in the bar code.
Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the
intended host. It also contains a beeper and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external
trigger and external beeper.
The interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse, USB, or TTL level RS-232. A separate host
adapter cable (p/n 25-62186-xx) converts the TTL level RS-232 output to standard RS-232 levels. All interface
types are auto-detected based on the host cable attached.
DB9 - The DB9 connector provides a sealed outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan
scanner and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS1220 MiniScan host
cables.

Location and Positioning
CAUTION

NOTE

The location and positioning guidelines provided do not consider unique application characteristics.
Motorola recommends that an opto-mechanical engineer perform an opto-mechanical analysis prior
to integration.

Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product’s specification, where the
scanner will not exceed its temperature range. For instance, do not mount the scanner onto or next to a
large heat source. When placing the scanner with another device, ensure there is proper convection or
venting for heat. Follow these suggestions to ensure product longevity, warranty, and overall satisfaction
with the scanner.

Using the MiniScan as an Embedded Scanner
You can mount the MiniScan read symbols that are automatically presented, or that are presented in a
pre-determined location. In these applications, MinScan positioning with respect to the symbol is critical. Failure to
properly position the MiniScan can result in unsatisfactory scanning performance. A thermal analysis is also
recommended.
Two methods of positioning the scanner are provided:

• Use the Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 with consistently good quality symbols.
This provides a mathematical solution to find the usable scan length.

• The Testing the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-9 uses real situation testing to adjust the usable scan
length to fit the application conditions.

Testing the Usable Scan Length Method
Due to the variety of symbol sizes, densities, print quality, etc., there is no simple way to calculate the ideal symbol
distance. To optimize performance, use the Testing The Usable Scan Length positioning method:
1.

Measure the maximum and minimum distances at which the symbols can be read.

2.

Check the near and far range on several symbols. If they are not reasonably consistent there may be a printing
quality problem that can degrade the performance of the system. Motorola can provide advice on how to
improve the installation.
NOTE

Poor quality symbols (from bad printing, wear, or damage) may not decode well when placed in the center
of the depth of field (especially higher density codes). The scan beam has a minimum width in the central
area, and when the scanner tries to read all symbol imperfections in this area it may not decode. After a
preliminary spot is determined using good quality symbols, test several reduced quality symbols and
adjust the spot for the best overall symbol position.

3.

Locate the scanner so the symbol is near the middle of the near/far range.

4.

Center the symbol (left to right) in the scan line whenever possible.

5.

Position the symbol so that the scan line is as near as possible to perpendicular to the bars and spaces in the
symbol.

6.

Avoid specular reflection (glare) off the symbol by tilting the top or bottom of the symbol away from the scanner.
The exact angle is not critical, but it must be large enough so that if a mirror were inserted in the symbol
location, the reflected scan line would miss the front surface of the scanner. For the maximum allowable angles
refer to the Skew, Pitch and Roll angles listed in each MiniScan Technical Specifications table.

7.

If placing an additional window between the scanner and the symbol, determine the optimum symbol location
using a representative window in the desired window position.

8.

Give the scanner time to dwell on the symbol for several scans. When first enabled, the MiniScan may take two
or three scans before it reaches maximum performance. Enable the MiniScan before presenting the symbol, if
possible.

2 - 10 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Conveyor Applications
Conveyor applications require setting the conveyor velocity to optimize the scanner’s ability to read symbols. Also
consider the orientation of the symbol with respect to the conveyor direction. Figure 2-9 on page 2-10 illustrates the
relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol positioned perpendicular to the conveyor direction
and Figure 2-10 on page 2-11 illustrates the relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol
positioned parallel to the conveyor direction.

Symbol is Perpendicular to Conveyor Movement
With the symbol bars perpendicular to the conveyor belt direction (Picket Fence presentation) the relationship is:
V = (R x (F-W)) / N
where:
V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second)
R = Scan Rate (see technical specifications)
F = 80% of width of scan beam
W = Symbol Width (inches)

Embedded Applications Requiring a Window
Use the following guidelines for applications that require a window in front of the MiniScan.
NOTE

Motorola does not recommend placing an exit window in front of the MiniScan; however, the following
information is provided for applications that require such a window.

Window Material
Many window materials that look perfectly clear can contain stresses and distortions that can reduce scanner
performance. For this reason, Motorola highly recommends only optical glass or cell-cast acrylic with an
anti-reflection coating. Following is a description of acrylic, and CR-39, another popular window material.
Table 2-2 on page 2-13 outlines the suggested window properties.
CAUTION

NOTE

Consult an opto-mechanical engineer to recommend an appropriate window material and to
determine if coatings are appropriate for the specific application.

Do not use polycarbonate material.

Acrylic
When fabricated by cell-casting, acrylic has very good optical quality and low initial cost. However, protect the
surface from the environment as acrylic is susceptible to attack by chemicals, mechanical stresses, and UV light.
Acrylic has reasonably good impact resistance and can be ultrasonically welded.

CR-39
CR-39 is a thermal-setting plastic produced by the cell-casting process, and is commonly used in plastic eye
glasses lenses. CR-39 has excellent chemical and environmental resistance, including good surface hardness.
Typically it does not require hard-coating, but can be hard coated for severe environments. CR-39 has reasonably
good impact resistance and cannot be ultrasonically welded.

Chemically Tempered Float Glass
Glass is a hard material which provides excellent scratch and abrasion resistance. However, unannealed glass is
brittle. Increasing flexibility strength with minimal optical distortion requires chemical tempering. Glass cannot be
ultrasonically welded and is difficult to cut into odd shapes.

Coatings must comply with the hardness adherence requirements of
MIL-M-13508.

Window Coatings
Table 2-3 on page 2-14 lists some exit window manufacturers and anti-reflection coaters.

Anti-Reflection Coatings
Apply an anti-reflection coating to the inside and/or outside of the window to significantly reduce the amount of light
reflected off the window, back into the scan engine. The coating can also improve the range of acceptable window
positions and minimize performance degradation due to signal loss as the light passes through the window. Using
anti-reflection coatings on both the inside and outside of the window is highly recommended.

Polysiloxane Coating
Polysiloxane type coatings are applied to plastic surfaces to improve the surface resistance to both scratch and
abrasion. They are usually applied by dipping, then air-drying in an oven with filtered hot air.

Embedded Window Angle and Position
If a window is placed between the MiniScan and the item to scan, observe the following guidelines:

• Window Clear Opening - Make the clear opening of the window large enough so that the entire scan beam
passes through the window. Cutting off any part of the beam can result in internal reflections and degrade
decode range performance. Ensure that window placement relative to the MiniScan accounts for tolerances
on all parts involved in that assembly.

• Window Angle - Angle the window at least 2o more than the tilt of the window on the scanner (see Table
2-4). Further tilting the window is acceptable and decreases the possibility of a secondary reflection from that
window degrading the scanner's performance.

• Optical Working Range - Adding a window can reduce the working range of the scanner since there is a
signal loss when passing through window material. To minimize this reduction, use a special coating
described in Window Coatings on page 2-13. To understand the difference, test the scanner in the desired
orientation and see if the difference affects scanner performance.

Application Notes
TTL RS-232
Standard RS-232 voltage levels typically range between +12V and -12V to ensure adequate noise rejection over
long distances. Devices which support TTL level RS-232 signaling typically drive signals between 0V and +5V.
Extensive testing has shown that TTL levels are interpreted correctly by the majority of standard RS-232 hosts over
cable distances of six feet or less, even in extreme conditions.
Multi-interface Miniscan products fall into the TTL RS-232 device category. All standard RS-232 cables available
from Motorola for the Miniscan family measure six feet or less, and should not present a problem. If a particular
host does not support TTL levels, a separate conversion cable is available (25-62186-xx) which contains
electronics to adapt the TTL levels of a multi-interface Miniscan into standard RS-232 levels.

USB Warning - Potential Host Side Issues
The Universal Serial Bus provides a smart plug-and-play interface for easy integration. In USB communication, the
root hub located on the host controls all traffic. USB hosts in general react poorly in certain harsh environments
compared to traditional host interfaces such as RS-232. These environments include areas with high ESD levels or
situations in which the system is subject to Electrical Fast Transients (EFT).
Typical symptoms of these environments are:

• Frequent scanner resets
• Scanner occasionally loses power (due to host initiated shutdown)
• Occasional host lockups.
Because multi-interface Miniscan products are often exposed to these environments due to the nature of scanner
placement, they have been safeguarded as much as possible to prevent physical damage. Despite design
precautions, testing shows that some USB hosts cannot tolerate these environments. In this case, try placing a
self-powered USB hub close to the host, between the scanner and host, as a buffer to the host against the harsh
environment. This may not be a valid solution in all cases.

MiniScan Scan Patterns
Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA Scan Pattern
Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA scanners emit a single scan line to quickly decode 1D bar codes.

Figure 3-1 Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

3-2

Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD Scan Patterns
The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD generate different scan patterns (Smart Raster and High Density Single
Scan Line) based on the software command received at the interface. Use the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes
and PDF417 symbols.
NOTE

The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD also support omnidirectional and semi-omnidirectional scan
patterns, but are not optimized for these patterns.

Smart Raster Scan Pattern
The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols
using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern
accordingly, providing optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, GS1 DataBar, and Composite codes.
Stage 1: “Slab” Raster Pattern

Stage 2: Open Raster Pattern

Figure 3-2 Raster Scan Pattern

High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern
The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and
accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

Symbol MS3207 Scan Patterns
The Symbol MS3207 generates four scan patterns based on the software command received at the interface.
These patterns are Smart Raster, Semi-omnidirectional, Omnidirectional, and High Density Single Scan Line. Use
the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols. The omnidirectional pattern reads 1D bar codes in
an omnidirectional manner.

Smart Raster Scan Pattern
The Symbol MS3207 can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart
Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly,
providing optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, GS1 DataBar, and Composite codes.
Stage 1: “Slab” Raster Pattern

Stage 2: Open Raster Pattern

Figure 3-4 Raster Scan Pattern

Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern
The semi-omnidirectional pattern is an alternative to the full omnidirectional pattern that scans highly truncated 1D
and GS1 DataBar codes. Present bar codes horizontally with no more than a 20o tilt.

Figure 3-5 Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern

3-4

Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Omnidirectional Scan Pattern
The high-speed rotating omnidirectional scan pattern provides aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because
there are no “holes” in the pattern. This ensures fast throughput at the point of activity and the ability to read 1D
symbols in 360o of rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.

Figure 3-6 Omnidirectional Scan Pattern

High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern
The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and
accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

Figure 3-7 High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

Scan Angle Selection
The Symbol MS1207FZY scanner supports two scan angles (see Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for these angles). To set
the scan angle, scan a parameter bar code (see Scan Angle on page 10-10). Once the parameter bar code is
scanned, that scan angle setting is retained.

Operation in Blink Mode
The scan angle during Blink Mode is determined by the scan angle system parameter.

Scanning

Scanning Tips
When scanning, make sure the symbol is within the scanning range. See Calculating the Usable Scan Length
Method on page 2-8. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful
decode.

Scan the Entire Symbol
• The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.
• The larger the symbol, the farther away the scanner should be positioned.
• Position the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
RIGHT

WRONG

012345

012345

Position at an Angle
Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the
scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode.

Trigger Options
Continuous (Default)
The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. You can configure the scanner to
scan and transmit a bar code, and then not decode the same bar code or any bar code for a set period of time. See
Timeout Between Decodes on page 10-15 to customize the application to the rate at which bar codes are
presented.

Continuous

NOTE

This option is not recommended during scanner programming via bar code menus.

3-6

Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Level Trigger
Activating the trigger line enables the laser and begins decode processing. Decode processing continues until a
good decode occurs, the trigger is released, or the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode
processing completes. The next decode attempt does not occur until the trigger line is released and then
reactivated.

Level

Pulse Trigger
Activating the trigger line enables the laser and begins decode processing. Decode processing continues
regardless of the trigger line until a good decode occurs, or until the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled
once decode processing completes. The next decode attempt does not occur until the trigger line is released and
then reactivated.

Pulse

Blink

NOTE

Only the Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA support this option.

The laser blinks at a 25% duty cycle (reduced to 10% after 30 seconds of inactivity), until a bar code is presented.
When a bar code is presented, the laser remains on until either the bar code is decoded or removed, or the session
timeout expires. Once the bar code is decoded, the scanner does not decode it again until the bar code is
removed.

Usable Scan Length
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow
ratio, and edge accuracy. Consider the width of the scan line at any given distance when designing a system.
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 describes how to calculate the usable scan length. The

2. Near ranges on lower densities (not specified) largely depend on the width of the bar code and
the scan angle.
3. Working range specifications at ambient temperature 23 °C.

Usable Scan Length
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow
ratio, and edge acuity. Consider width of decode zone at any given distance when designing a system.
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 describes how to calculate the usable scan length. The
scan angle is provided in Table 5-2 on page 5-5.

Notes:
1. Contrast measured as Mean Reflective Difference (MRD) at 650 nm.
2. Near ranges on lower densities largely depend on the width of the bar code and the scan angle.
3. Working range specifications: Photographic quality symbols, pitch = 10°, skew = 0°,
roll = 0°, ambient light < 150 ft. candles, and temperature = 23 °C.

NOTE

Not optimized for omnidirectional mode.

Usable Scan Length
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow
ratio, and edge acuity. Consider width of decode zone at any given distance when designing a system.
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 describes how to calculate the usable scan length. The
scan angle is provided in the Usable Scan Length Diagram on page 2-8.

Usable Scan Length
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow
ratio, and edge acuity. Width of decode zone at any given distance must be considered when designing a system.
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 provides a detailed description of how to calculate the
usable scan length. The scan angle is provided in Table 8-2 on page 8-6.

Chapter 9 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Introduction
The chapter provides information on maintenance and troubleshooting.

Maintenance
Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the
window. Clean the scan window with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a non-ammonia based detergent.

Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Troubleshooting
Table 9-1 Troubleshooting

Problem
No red LED or nothing
happens during a scan
attempt.

Possible Cause
No power to the scanner.

Possible Solutions
Check the system power.
Confirm that the correct host interface cable is used.
Connect the power supply.
Re-connect loose cables.

Scanner cannot read the
bar code.

Interface/power cables are
loose.

Re-connect loose cables.

Scanner is not programmed
for the correct bar code type.

Make sure the scanner is programmed to read the
type of bar code to be scanned.
Scan other bar code(s) and bar code types.

Incorrect communication
parameters.

Set the correct communication parameters (baud rate,
parity, stop bits, etc.)

Bar code symbol is
unreadable.

Check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced. Try
scanning similar symbols of the same code type.

Inappropriately hot
environment.

Remove the scanner from the hot environment, and
allow it to cool down.

Laser activates, followed
by a beep sequence.

Beeper is configured.

See Table 3-1 on page 3-7 for beeper indication
descriptions.

Scanner does not
function.

Accidentally scanned Level
Trigger or Pulse Trigger
from Trigger Options on
page 3-5.

Cycle power to the scanner. As the laser briefly
appears after power up, scan the Continuous bar
code from Trigger Options on page 3-5.

NOTE

Connect an interface cable which has an external
trigger jack, a push button trigger cable, and a power
supply to the scanner. You can purchase these cables
from Motorola, or make a similar one using the
scanner’s pinouts as a reference. See the specification
chapter for your MiniScan model for pinouts.
Using a momentary switch, short the scanner’s trigger
line to ground to activate the laser, then scan the
Continuous option of the Trigger Mode parameter.

If after performing these checks the symbol still does not scan, contact the distributor or Motorola
Enterprise Mobility Support. See page xv for contact information.

Operational Parameters
MiniScan scanners ship with the default settings in Table 10-1 on page 10-2. These default values are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
To change the default values, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. These new values replace the
standard default values in memory. To reset the default parameter values, scan the Set All Defaults bar code on
page 10-7.

Enable/Disable Code 39 Full ASCII
To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate bar code below.
When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code to letters, punctuation marks, numerals, and most control
keystrokes on the keyboard.
The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to keyboard control characters such as BACKSPACE and
RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all but SPACE and DELETE produce visible
characters.
Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns
an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is
interpreted as b, %J as ?, and $H emulates the keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning ABC$M outputs the keystroke
equivalent of ABC ENTER.
Do not enable Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 simultaneously.
The scanner does not autodiscriminate between Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.

NOTE

Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support this option.

This option offers three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for Code 39 symbols. Increasing the
performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation, useful when scanning very long and/or

Macro PDF Features
NOTE

Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support these options.

Transmit Symbols in Codeword Format
Enable this to transmit each PDF symbol as directly decoded data codewords, whether or not that symbol is part of
a macro PDF sequence. Note that data is output as codeword values, not as interpreted data.
“Codeword values” is an ASCII representation of a number from 000 to 928 for each codeword, preceded by an
escape character. This escape character is a backslash by default, but you can change this value. For example,
the codeword value 005 is sent to the host in the form of \005 for GLIs, and \C005C for ECIs. This output format is
based on the AIM USA Uniform Symbology Specification for PDF417 (1994).
All output codewords are exactly 4 characters for GLIs and 6 characters for ECIs. However, there can be
non-decodable characters in the PDF symbol, such as a GLI sequence. This special codeword sequence activates
a certain kind of interpretation to the encoded data. Non-decodable codewords like GLIs are embedded in the
output stream like any other codeword, e.g., \927\001.
Because GLIs are indistinguishable from other codewords in the output data stream, the host must recognize them
as GLIs and process their interpretations.
Note that when a macro PDF sequence is transmitted, the last character in the last block of data transmitted is
always \922 (if selected). This indicates the end of that macro PDF transmission.
Scan the appropriate bar code to enable or disable this.

Chapter 11 RS-232 Interface
Introduction
This chapter provides RS-232 host information for setting up the MiniScan XX07 Series scanner. The RS-232
interface connects the MiniScan scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an
available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
If Table 11-2 does not list your host, set the communication parameters to match the host device. Refer to the
documentation for the host device.
This scanner uses TTL RS-232 levels which interface with all PCs with no additional hardware.
NOTE

Particularly noisy electrical environments may require a cable with an RS-232 transceiver. To obtain this
cable contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

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. Select Standard RTS/CTS
handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence:
•

The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial
Response Time-out for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default),
the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any scanned data.

•

When the CTS line is negated, the 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 scanner transmits the data. If, after the
Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error,
and discards the data.

•

When data transmission is complete, the scanner negates RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.

•

The host responds by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a negated CTS upon the next transmission of
data.

During data transmission, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between
characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded.
If this communications sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must
be rescanned.
If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes
precedence.
NOTE

The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.

RTS/CTS Option 1

RTS/CTS Option 2
When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits
for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within the Host Serial Response Time-out
(default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

RTS/CTS Option 2

RTS/CTS Option 3
When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS.
The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted
during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when
transmission is complete.

When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately.

*None
ACK/NAK
When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the
host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three
unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the
scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no
retries when a time-out occurs.

ACK/NAK

ENQ
When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If the
scanner does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, it 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.

XON/XOFF
An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two
situations for XON/XOFF:
•

The scanner receives XOFF before has it data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to
Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the scanner does not receive
an XON within this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data.

•

The scanner receives XOFF during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current
byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The scanner
waits indefinitely for the XON.

Chapter 13 Advanced Data Formatting
Introduction
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan
data can be edited to suit particular requirements.
Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 13-8, that programs the 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 Add Prefix/Suffix setting. 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 you scan a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828, the following transmits: 00001299. If you scan a Code
39 bar code of 1299X15598, this rule is ignored because the bar code does not meet the length criteria.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.

13 - 2 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Using ADF Bar Codes
When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning.
To program each data formatting rule:

• Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 13-8.
• 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”). These options are described in
Criteria on page 13-11.

• Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule specify how to format
the data for transmission. These options are described in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 13-2.

• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 13-8. This places the rule in the “top” position in the
rule buffer.

• Erase criteria, actions, and entire rules by scanning the appropriate bar code on page 13-9.

ADF Bar Code Menu Example
This section provides an example of how to enter ADF rules for scan data.
An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their
own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the
manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes have the following format:
MMMMMPPPPPDD
Where:

M = Manufacturer ID
P = Part Number
D = Destination Code

The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID , part number
, and destination code . At this center the UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code.
The following rules must be entered:
When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key , send the next 5 characters, send the part number key , send the next 2 characters, send the
destination code key .
When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key .
To enter these rules, see the following steps:

Alternate Rule Sets
Group ADF rules into one of four alternate sets which you can turn on and off when needed. This is useful to format
the same message in different ways. For example, a Code 128 bar code contains the following information:
Class (2 digits), Stock Number (8) digits, Price (5 digits)
The bar code might look like this:
245671243701500
where:
Class = 24
Stock Number = 56712437
Price = 01500
Ordinarily, data is sent as follows:
24 (class key)
56712437 (stock key)
01500 (enter key)
But, when there is a sale, send only the following:
24 (class key)
56712437 (stock key)

13 - 4 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

and the cashier keys the price manually.
To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as:
Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class
key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.
The “sale” rule may look like this:
Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class
key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key.
To switch between the two sets of rules, program a “switching rule” to specify the type of bar code that must be
scanned to switch between the rule sets. For example, in the case of the “sale” rule above, the rule programmer
wants the cashier to scan the bar code “M” before a sale. To do this, enter the following rule:
When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “M”, select rule set number 1.
Program another rule to switch back.
When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “N”, turn off rule set number 1.
Or include the switching back to normal rules in the “sale” rule:
When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8
characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1.
For optimal results, scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 13-10 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 13-10.

Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)
The order of programming individual rules is important.Program the most general rule first.
All programmed rules are stored in a buffer. As they are programmed, they are stored at the “top” of a rules list. If
you created three rules, the list is configured as follows:
Third Rule
Second Rule
First Rule
When scanning data, the rules list is checked from top to bottom to determine if the criteria matches (and therefore,
if the actions occur). Input is modified into the data format specified by the first matching set of criteria it finds. Be
sure to program the most general rule first.
For example, if the THIRD rule states:
When scanning a bar code of any length, send all data, then send the ENTER key.
And the SECOND rule states:
When scanning a Code 128 bar code of length 12, send the first four characters, then send the ENTER key,
then send all remaining data.
If you scan a Code 128 bar code of length 12, the THIRD rule would apply, and the SECOND rule would appear to
not function.

Advanced Data Formatting 13 - 5

Note that the standard data editing functions also create ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and
the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in
the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 10-80.
These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF rules, so the order of their creation is also important.

Default Rules
Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules
burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. 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 will never use the default rules.

Data Matrix. This error correcting, 2-dimensional matrix symbology was originally developed in 1989, and a finalized design
was completed in 1995 by International Data Matrix. It's capable of encoding various character sets including strictly
numeric data, alphanumeric data and all ISO 646 (ASCII) characters, as well as special character sets. The symbology
has both error detection and error correction features. Each Data Matrix symbol consists of data regions, which contain
nominally square modules set out in a regular array. A dark module is a binary 1 and a light module is a binary 0. There
is no specified minimum or maximum for the X or Y dimension. The data region is surrounded by a finder pattern, a
perimeter to the data region that is 1 module wide, which is surrounded by a quiet zone on all four sides of the symbol.
Two adjacent sides are solid dark lines used primarily to define physical size, orientation and symbol distortion. The two
opposite sides consist of alternating dark and light modules. These are used primarily to define the cell structure but also
assist in determining physical size and distortion. There are 2 types of Data Matrix symbologies: ECC 000 - 140 with
several available levels of convolutional error correction, and ECC 200, which uses Reed-Solomon error correction. For
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 purposes, only ECC 200 is recommended. The intellectual property rights associated with Data

encoded within a bar code symbol.
Decoder. An electronic package that receives the signals from the scanning function, performs the algorithm to interpret the
signals into meaningful data and provides the interface to other devices.
Decryption. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key.

elements. Each character is represented by 2 bars and 2 spaces over 7 modules. A bar may be comprised of 1, 2, 3 or
4 modules. Each EAN/U.P.C. symbol consists of a leading quiet zone, a start pattern, 7 left-hand data characters, a
center bar pattern, 5 right-hand data characters, a Modulo 10 check character, a stop pattern and a trailing quiet zone.
