Block Diagram
The MiniScan block diagram illustrates the functional relationship of the MiniScan components. Following is a
detailed description of each component in the block diagram.
Figure 1-2
MiniScan Block Diagram
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
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.
CAUTION 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.
NOTE 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.
2 - 8 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method
Calculate usable scan length as follows (see Figure 2-8 on page 2-8):
L = 1.8 x (D+d+B) x Tan (A/2)
where:
D = Distance (in inches) from the front edge of the host housing to the bar code.
d = The host housing’s internal optical path from the edge of the housing to the front of the MiniScan scanner.
B = Internal optical path from the scan mirror to the front edge of the MiniScan scanner.
A = Scan angle in degrees.

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.
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.
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.
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)
N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans)
Figure 2-9

Example
R = 640 scans per second
F = 80% of 6 in.

Embedded Applications Requiring a Window
Use the following guidelines for applications that require a window in front of the MiniScan.
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.
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.
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.
CAUTION Consult an opto-mechanical engineer to recommend an appropriate window material and to
determine if coatings are appropriate for the specific application.
NOTE Do not use polycarbonate material.
Installation 2 - 13
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.

2 - 14 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide
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.

Stage 2: Open Raster 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 3 - 5
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.
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
RIGHT WRONG
012345 012345
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
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.
Blink
NOTE Only the Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA support this option.

USB Mode: D- signal. During USB operation this signal works in
conjunction with the D+ signal as a differential bi-directional signal.
8 RTS/SYN_DAT I/O RS-232 Mode: Request-to-send handshaking output line, used only in
conjunction with the CTS line. Optionally used by the scanner to signal
another device that data is available to send.
Synapse Mode: Synapse Data line. Signal is used to transmit data to
and from a Synapse host.
9 Beeper/Download I/O During normal operation this signal functions as an external beeper
drive line. This signal can sink 50mA of current to drive an external
beeper, and is normally pulled up. This signal is also used to begin
Flash Download operation when grounded externally during power up.

Symbol MS3207 Decode Zones
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide to narrow
ratio and edge acuity. Typical values appear. Table 8-3 on page 8-10 and Table 8-4 on page 8-12 list the typical and
guaranteed distances for selected bar code densities. The minimum element width (or “symbol density”) is the
width in mils of the narrowest element (bar or space) in the symbol. The maximum usable length of a symbol at any
given range appears below. To calculate this distance, see Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page
2-8.

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

Chapter 10 Parameter Menus
Introduction
This chapter describes the programmable parameters, and provides bar codes for programming.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
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.

Beeper Frequency Adjustment
This parameter adjusts the frequency of the high beeper tone from the nominal 2500 Hz to another frequency
matching the resonances of the installation. Program this in 10 Hz increments from 1220 Hz to 3770 Hz.
To increase the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93
that correspond to the desired frequency adjustment divided by 10. For example, to set the frequency to 3000 Hz
(an increase of 500 Hz), scan numeric bar codes 0, 5, 0, corresponding to 50, or (500/10).
To decrease the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93
that correspond to the value (256 - desired adjustment/10). For example, to set the frequency to 2000 Hz (a
decrease of 500 Hz), scan numeric bar codes 2, 0, 6, corresponding to 206, or (256 - 500/10).

To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 that
correspond to the desired on time. Include a leading zero for times less than 1.0 second. For example, to set an on
time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To change the selection or to
cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

To select the laser pattern’s height and/or rate of expansion:
1. Scan the bar code for either Raster Height or Raster Expansion Speed below.
2. Scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 that represent a two-digit value. Valid values are
between 01 and 15.

Timeout Between Decodes
Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol
When in Continuous triggering mode, this parameter sets the minimum duration of not decoding data before the
scanner decodes a second bar code identical to one just decoded. This reduces the risk of accidentally scanning
the same symbol twice. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The recommended
interval is 0.6 seconds
Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbol
This option sets the minimum duration of not decoding data before the scanner decodes a second (different) bar
code. Use this in Continuous mode to prevent the scanner from decoding when a different symbol appears in the
scanner's field of view before the timeout period between decodes expires. This is programmable in 0.1 second
increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The recommended value is 0.0 seconds.

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

Macro PDF Features
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.
NOTE Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support these options.

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.

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.

None
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<space>. 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 <CTRL M>, part number
<CTRL P>, and destination code <CTRL D>. 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 <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 steps:

5 Save Rule 13-8 High Low High Low
To correct any errors made while entering this rule, scan the Quit Entering Rules bar code on page 13-9. If you
already saved the rule, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 13-9.
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.

recognition, voice recognition and RF/MW transponders, for the purpose of data entry into a data processing system
and bypassing the key-entry component of traditional data entry.
B
Background. The area surrounding a printed symbol including the spaces and quiet zones.
Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.
Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable
form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character,
check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses
its own unique format. See Symbology.
Glossary - 2 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide
Bar Code Character. A single group of bars and spaces which represent an individual number, letter, punctuation mark or
other symbol.
Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).
Bar Code Reader. A device used to read or decode a bar code symbol.
Bar Code Symbol. The combination of symbol characters and features required by a particular symbology, including quiet
zones, start and stop characters, data characters, check characters and other auxiliary patterns, that together form a
complete scannable entity. See Symbol.
Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.
Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same
bar.
Baud Rate. A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second. When one bit is the standard
"event," this is a measure of bits per second (bps). For example, a baud rate of 50 means transmission of 50 bits of data
per second.
Bi-directional. Denotes that a machine-readable symbol can be read successfully in two directions – either backwards or
forwards. Also identifies a scanner that can operate or a bar code that can be read independent of scanning direction.
Binary. Denotes a numbering system to base 2 in which numbers are expressed as combinations of the digits 0 and 1 with
positional weighting based on powers of 2. In computing, these can be represented electrically by 'off' and 'on'
respectively or in machine-readable symbols by narrow and wide elements or by the absence or presence of a bar
module.
Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.
The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.
bps. See Bits Per Second.
Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific
character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in
memory is used to store one ASCII character.

number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.
Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.
Check Digit. A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula
and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are
optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is
decoded.
Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: ( - $ : /

derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.
Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding
density than Code 39.
Code Length. Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those
characters.

linking or chaining together of separate items of data in a bar code symbol or of the data contained in two or more
separate bar code symbols (also referred to as message append and structured append).
Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no
intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Contrast. The difference in reflectance between the black and white (or bar and space) areas of a symbol.
D
Data Identifier. A specified character or string of characters that defines the intended use of the data element that follows.
For the purposes of automatic data capture technologies, data identifier refers to the alphanumeric identifiers as defined
in ANSI MH10.8.2, formerly known as ANSI/FACT data identifiers.

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
Matrix have been committed to the public domain.
Data Structure. The stipulation of the type of information that is included in a bar code, such as its order and format.
Dead Zone. An area within a scanner's field of view, in which specular reflection may prevent a successful decode.
Decode. To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the content of the specific bar code
scanned.
Decode Algorithm. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers
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.
Depth of Field. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain
minimum element width.
Diffuse Reflection. The component of reflected light that emanates in all directions from the reflecting surface.
Discrete 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group of five bars, two of which are wide.
The location of wide bars in the group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insignificant. Only numeric
characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.
Discrete Code. A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code.
DRAM. Dynamic random access memory.
E
EAN. European Article Number. This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and
symbology standards. Element dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail.
EAN/UPC. A fixed-length, numeric 13-digit bar code symbol consisting of 30 dark elements and 29 intervening light
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.
Glossary - 5
U.P.C. is often considered a 12-digit code. The 13th digit of EAN/U.P.C. symbol is a derived character in the left-most
position. In the case of U.P.C., this derived left-most character is a 0.
Element. Generic term for a bar or space.
Encoded Area. Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern, including start/stop characters and data.
ENQ (RS-232). ENQ software handshaking is also supported for the data sent to the host.
Error Correction. A reader or decoder's use of mathematical schemes to reconstruct or replace damaged or missing
symbol characters to enable the reading of the symbol data.
Error-Correction Characters. Symbol characters used for error correction and detection, calculated automatically from the
other symbol characters.
Error-Correction Level. An indicator of the number of characters used in a symbology for error correction. A higher level
of error correction allows for correcting greater potential symbol damage.
Error Detection. This occurs when error-correction characters detect that the presence of errors in the symbol exceeds the
error correction capacity, and keeps the symbol from being decoded as erroneous data.
Error-Detection Characters. Symbol characters reserved for error detection that are calculated automatically from the
other symbol characters.
ESD. Electro-Static Discharge
F

operation classes based on power output during operation.
IEC (825) Class 1. This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. IEC Class 1 devices are safe under reasonably
foreseeable conditions of operation. Software and other controls to limit exposure to laser light may be required to
achieve IEC Class 1 operation. The IEC time base for Class 1 devices is 100 seconds if intentional viewing of laser light
is not required in the design or function of the device. The IEC time base for Class 1 devices is 30,000 seconds where
intentional viewing of laser light is inherent in the design or function of the device.
Input/Output Ports. I/O ports are primarily dedicated to passing information into or out of the terminal memory. Series 9000
mobile computers include Serial and USB ports.
Intercharacter Gap. The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete code.
Interleaved 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups of five bars and five interleaved
spaces. Interleaving provides for greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/spaces) within each
group determines which characters are encoded. This continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces. Only
numeric (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.
Interleaved Bar Code. A bar code in which characters are paired together, using bars to represent the first character and
the intervening spaces to represent the second.

chemical composition.
Light Emitting Diode. See LED.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited
by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and
react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user.
M
Matrix Symbols. A 2-dimensional array of regular polygon shaped cells where the center-to-center distance of adjacent
elements is uniform. The arrangement of the cells represents data and/or symbology functions. Matrix symbols may
include recognition patterns that do not follow the same rule as the other elements within the symbol (i.e., Data Matrix
and Maxicode).
MIL. 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch; a unit of measure often used to quantify bar code printing and scanning dimensions.
Misread (Misdecode). A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader or interface controller does not agree with
the data encoded within a bar code symbol.
Module. (1) The narrowest nominal width unit of measure in a symbol. In certain symbologies, element widths are specified
as multiples of 1 module. Equivalent to X dimension; or (2) a single cell in a matrix symbology used to encode 1 bit of
data. In Maxicode, the module shape is a regular hexagon. In Data Matrix, the module shape is nominally square. In
PDF417, the module shape is a regular rectangle. In bar code symbologies, the module shape is a regular rectangle.

from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal).
Non-Contact Reader/Scanner. Bar code readers requiring no physical contact with the printed symbol.
Glossary - 8 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide
Non-read. The absence of data at the scanner output after an attempted scan, which is due to no code, defective code,
scanner failure or operator error.
O

Optical Throw. The distance from the scanner face to the closest point at which symbol can be read; also, optical throw is
the difference between range and depth of field.
Orientation. The alignment of the symbol's scan path. Two possible orientations are horizontal with vertical bars and spaces
(picket fence) and vertical with horizontal bars and spaces (ladder).
Overhead. The fixed number of characters required for start, stop and checking in a given symbol. For example, a symbol
requiring a start, stop and 2 check characters contains 4 characters of overhead.
P

PDF417. An error correcting 2-dimensional multi-row symbol developed in 1992 by Symbol Technologies, PDF417 symbols
are constructed from 4 bars and 4 spaces over 17 modules. The symbol size is from 3 to 90 rows. There is no specified
minimum or maximum for X or Y dimension. With at least the recommended minimum level of error correction, the
recommended Y dimension is 3X. With less than the minimum recommended level of error correction, the recommended
Y dimension is 4X. A quiet zone of 2X is specified on each side of a symbol. Because of delta decode techniques, the
symbology is immune from uniform bar width growth. PDF417 supports cross-row scanning. The intellectual property
rights associated with PDF417 have been committed to the public domain.
Percent Decode. The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result in a successful decode. In a
well-designed bar code scanning system, that probability should approach near 100%.
Pitch. Rotation of a bar code symbol in an axis parallel to the direction of the bars.
Plessey Code. A pulse-width, modulated bar code commonly used for shelf marking in grocery stores.
Postnet Code. Code developed by the U.S. Postal Service to assist in the automatic sorting of mail.
Print Contrast Signal (PCS). Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars and spaces of a
symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is
the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.
Programming Mode. The state in which a scanner is configured for parameter values. See Scanning Mode.
Glossary - 9
Q
Quiet Zone. A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows
the stop character.
QWERTY. A standard keyboard commonly used on North American and some European PC keyboards. “QWERTY” refers
to the arrangement of keys on the left side of the third row of keys.
R
Reflectance. Amount of light returned from an illuminated surface.
Resolution. The narrowest element dimension which is distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a
particular device or method.
RS-232. An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard that defines the connector, connector pins, and signals used to
transfer data serially from one device to another.
S
Scan Area. Area intended to contain a symbol.
Scanner. An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars
and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are: 1) Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar
code,; 2) Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light (more light reflected from spaces); 3) Signal
conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector output into a digitized bar pattern.
Scanning Mode. The scanner is energized, programmed and ready to read a bar code.
Scanning Sequence. A method of programming or configuring parameters for a bar code reading system by scanning bar
code menus.

Space. The lighter element of a bar code formed by the background between bars.
Space Width. The thickness of a space measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge
of the same space.
Specular Reflection. The mirror-like direct reflection of light from a surface, which can cause difficulty decoding a bar code.
Stacked Symbol (2-D Symbols). A 2-dimensional (2-D) symbol with sequences of linear (width-coded) data that are
stacked one upon another (i.e., PDF417).
