Figure 2-2 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode

Scanning

3.

2-5

When the digital imager scanner senses movement, in its default Auto Aim trigger mode, it projects a red laser
aiming pattern (Figure 2-3) which allows positioning the bar code or object within the field of view. (To turn off
the default Auto Aim trigger mode, see Trigger Mode on page 4-8.) If necessary, the digital imager scanner
turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.
The DS6707-DP version uses a donut-shaped pattern with a center aiming dot.

Standard Pattern

DS6707-DP Pattern

Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is within the
rectangular area formed by the brackets in the pattern.
When scanning with the DS6707-DP, ensure part of the bar code is visible on the inside of the donut-shaped
pattern.

5.

Hold the trigger until the digital imager scanner beeps, indicating the bar code is successfully decoded. For
more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until the
bar code is decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.

2-6

Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

Aiming
Hold the digital imager scanner between two and nine inches (depending on symbol density; see Decode Zones on
page 2-8) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern on the symbol. Ensure the cross hair falls on the symbol.
For the DS6707-DP, ensure part of the symbol is visible within the donut-shaped pattern.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital imager scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther
from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital imager scanner, and
those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital imager scanner.
The digital imager scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top
examples in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not
decode.
NOTE

For best performance, ensure the pattern’s cross hair, or in the case of the DS6707-DP the aiming dot,
falls on the symbol.

medium/short high beep sequence
(power-up beep sequence) more than
once.

The USB bus may put the digital
imager scanner in a state where
power to the digital imager scanner is
cycled on and off more than once.

Normal during host reset.

Digital imager scanner emits aiming
pattern, but does not decode the bar
code.

Digital imager scanner is not
programmed for the correct bar code
type.

Program the digital imager scanner to
read that type of bar code. See Chapter
10, Symbologies.

Table 3-1 Troubleshooting (Continued)

Problem

Possible Causes

Digital imager scanner decodes bar
code, but does not transmit the data to
the host.

Digital imager scanner is not
programmed for the correct host type.

Scan the appropriate host type
programming bar code. See the chapter
corresponding to the host type.

Interface cable is loose.

Re-connect the cable.

If 4 long low beeps are heard, a
transmission error occurred.

Set the digital imager scanner's
communication parameters to match the
host's setting.

If 5 low beeps are heard, a conversion
or format error occurred.

Configure the digital imager scanner's
conversion parameters properly.

If low/high/low beeps sound, an invalid
ADF rule is detected.

Program the correct ADF rules.

If high/low beeps sound, the digital
imager scanner is buffering Code 39
data.

Normal scanning a Code 39 bar code and
the Code 39 Buffering option is enabled.

Digital imager scanner is not
programmed to work with the host.

Scan the appropriate host type
programming bar code.

Host displays scanned data
incorrectly.

Possible Solutions

For RS-232, set the digital imager
scanner's communication parameters to
match the host's settings.
Program the proper editing options (e.g.,
UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion).
Digital imager scanner emits
high/high/high/low beeps when not in
use.

RS-232 receive error.

Normal during host reset. Otherwise, set
the digital imager scanner's RS-232 parity
to match the host setting.

Digital imager scanner emits low/high
beeps during programming.

Input error or Cancel bar code was
scanned.

Scan the correct numeric bar codes
within range for the parameter
programmed.

Chapter 4 User Preferences & Miscellaneous
Digital Imager Scanner Options
Introduction
You can program the digital imager scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This
chapter describes each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
The digital imager scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard
Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements,
programming is not necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when you power down the digital imager scanner.
NOTE

Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. See Chapter 6, SSI Interface Chapter
7, USB Interface and Chapter 8, RS-232 Interface for specific host information. This is only necessary upon the
first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

* Indicates Default

Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-5. The digital imager scanner
issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several
bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences and Miscellaneous Options - Parameter Defaults
Table 4-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, see the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4.

• Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers appear in this
chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes.
See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters
using this method.

You can reset the Symbol DS6707 to two types of defaults: factory defaults or custom defaults. Scan the
appropriate bar code below to reset the scanner to its default settings and/or set its current settings as custom
defaults.

• Restore Defaults - Scan this bar code to reset all default parameters as follows.
• If you previously set custom defaults by scanning Write to Custom Defaults, scan Restore Defaults to
retrieve and restore the scanner’s custom default settings.
• If you did not set custom defaults, scan Restore Defaults to restore the factory default values listed in
Table A-1.

• Set Factory Defaults - Scan this bar code to restore the factory default values listed in Table A-1. This
deletes any custom defaults set.

• Write to Custom Defaults - Scan this bar code to set the current scanner settings as custom defaults. Once

Trigger Mode
Parameter # 8Ah
Select one of the following trigger modes for the digital imager scanner:

• Level - A trigger pull activates decode processing. Decode processing continues until the bar code is
decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.

• Blink - This trigger mode is used in presentation (hands-free) mode. The digital imager scanner activates
decode processing when it detects a bar code in its field of view. Decoding range is reduced in this mode.

• Auto Aim - This trigger mode turns on the red laser aiming pattern when the digital imager scanner senses
motion. A trigger pull activates decode processing. After 2 seconds of inactivity the red laser aiming pattern
automatically shuts off.

• Host - A host command issues the triggering signal. The digital scanner interprets an actual trigger pull as a
Level triggering option.

Chapter 5 Imaging Preferences
Introduction
You can program the digital imager scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This
chapter describes imaging preference features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
The digital imager scanner ships with the settings in Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults on page 5-2 (also
see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values
suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when you power down the digital imager scanner.
NOTE

Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. See Chapter 6, SSI Interface, Chapter
7, USB Interface and Chapter 8, RS-232 Interface for specific host information. This is only necessary upon the
first power-up when connecting to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to disable the decode aiming pattern,
scan the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code under Decode Aiming Pattern on page 4-13. The digital
imager scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults
Table 5-1 lists the defaults for imaging preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4.

• Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers appear in this
chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes.
See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters
using this method.

Imaging Preferences
The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of
operation, including decode, video, and snapshot.

Operational Modes
The digital imager scanner has three modes of operation:

• Decode Mode
• Snapshot Mode
• Video Mode.

Decode Mode
By default, when you pull the trigger the digital imager scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes
within its field of view. The digital imager scanner remains in this mode until it decodes a bar code or you release
the trigger.

Snapshot Mode
Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host. To temporarily enter this mode scan
the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this mode the digital imager scanner blinks the green LED at 1-second
intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.
In Snapshot Mode, the digital imager scanner turns on its laser aiming pattern to highlight the area to capture in the
image. The next trigger pull instructs the digital imager scanner to capture a high quality image and transmit it to
the host. A short time may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is pulled and the image is captured
as the digital imager scanner adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the digital imager scanner steady until the
image is captured, denoted by a single beep.
If you do not press the trigger within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the digital imager scanner returns to
Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 5-10 to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period
is 30 seconds.
To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern on page 5-10.

Video Mode
In this mode the digital imager scanner behaves as a video camera as long as you press the trigger. Release the
trigger to return the digital imager scanner to Decode Mode. Scan this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture
Mode.

Fixed Exposure
Parameter #: F4h F1h 37h
Type: Word
Range: 5 - 5000
This parameter configures the exposure used in manual mode for both Decode and Snapshot/Video/Video
viewfinder modes.
Each integer value represents 100 μs worth of exposure. The default value is 100 which results in an exposure
setting of 10 ms.
To set the Fixed Exposure parameter, scan Fixed Exposure followed by four numeric bar codes representing the
value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Exposure value of 99, scan 0, 0, 9, 9. See Appendix
D, Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes.

Fixed Gain
Parameter #: F1h 38h

A value of 1 indicates that gain is not used for image capture. A value of 100 indicates that maximum gain is used
for image capture. The default value of this parameter is 50.
To set the Fixed Gain parameter, scan Fixed Gain below followed by three numeric bar codes representing the
value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Gain value of 99, scan 0, 9, 9. See Appendix D,
Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes.

5-9

Gain/Exposure Priority for Snapshot Mode
Parameter # F1h, 32h
This parameter alters the digital imager scanner’s gain exposure priority when it acquires an image in Snapshot
Mode in auto exposure mode.

• Scan Low Exposure Priority to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner favors higher gain over
exposure to capture an image. This results in an image that is less susceptible to motion blur at the expense
of noise artifacts. However, for most applications, the amount of noise is acceptable.

• Scan Low Gain Priority to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner favors longer exposure time rather
than higher gain to capture an image. This ensures that the image is less noisy and produces fewer artifacts
during post processing activities like image enhancement (sharpening). The mode is recommended for fixed
mount / fixed object image capture since the image acquired is susceptible to motion blur.

• Scan Autodetect (default) to set a mode in which the digital imager scanner automatically selects Gain
Priority or Low Exposure Priority mode for Snapshot Mode. If the digital imager scanner is in a magnetic read
switch enabled stand (or it is configured in Blink Mode), it uses Low Gain Priority mode. Otherwise, it uses
the Low Exposure Priority mode.

Signature Capture
Parameter # 5Dh
A signature capture bar code is a special-purpose symbology which delineates a signature capture area in a
document with a machine-readable format. The recognition pattern is variable so it can optionally provide an index
to various signatures. The region inside the bar code pattern is considered the signature capture area.

Output File Format
Decoding a signature capture bar code de-skews the signature image and converts the image to a BMP, JPEG, or
TIFF file format. The output data includes the file descriptor followed by the formatted signature image.

Parity
Parameter # 9Eh
A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.

• Select Odd parity to set the parity bit to a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character
contains an odd number of 1 bits.

• Select Even parity to set the parity bit to a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character
contains an even number of 1 bits.

Software Handshaking
Parameter # 9Fh
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to that offered by hardware handshaking.
Hardware handshaking is always enabled and cannot be disabled by the user.
• Disable ACK/NAK Handshaking: If you select this option, the decoder neither generates nor expects
ACK/NAK handshaking packets.
• Enable ACK/NAK Handshaking: If you select this option, after transmitting data, the digital imager scanner
expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. The digital imager scanner also ACKs or NAKs
messages from the host.
The digital imager 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 resends its data up to two times before
discarding the data and declaring a transmit error.

Host RTS Line State
Parameter # 9Ah
This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line.
The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, you can also use
the digital imager scanner in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication
software on a host PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 6-8). If transmission errors occur in this mode,
the host PC may be asserting hardware handshaking lines which interfere with the SSI protocol. Scan the Host:

Host Serial Response Time-out
Parameter # 9Bh
This parameter specifies how long the decoder waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the decoder
wants to send, and the host was already granted permission to send, the decoder waits for the designated time-out
before declaring an error.
To set the delay period (options are 2, 5, 7.5, or 9.9 seconds), scan one of the following bar codes.

Multipacket Option
Parameter # F0h, 4Eh
This parameter controls ACK/NAK handshaking for multi-packet transmissions.
• Multi-Packet Option 1: The host sends an ACK / NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet
transmission.
• Multi-Packet Option 2: The digital imager scanner sends data packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK
handshaking to pace the transmission. The host, if overrun, can use hardware handshaking to temporarily
delay digital imager scanner transmissions. At the end of transmission, the digital imager scanner waits for
a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK.
• Multi-Packet Option 3: Option 3 is the same as option 2 with the addition of a programmable interpacket
delay.

Chapter 8 RS-232 Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the digital imager scanner with an RS-232 host. Use the RS-232 interface to
connect the digital imager scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available
RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
If your host does not appear in Table 8-2, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication
parameters to match the host.
NOTE

The digital imager scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures.
For system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Motorola offers different cables providing
TTL-to-RS-232C conversion. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for more information.

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

* Indicates Default

NOTE

*Baud Rate 57,600

Feature/Option

Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.

device requirements.

• Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character
contains an odd number of 1 bits

• Select Even parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character
contains an even number of 1 bits.

• Select None when no parity bit is required.

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

• When the CTS line is de-asserted, the digital imager scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial
Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the scanner transmits data. If,
after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the digital imager scanner
sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.

• When data transmission completes, the digital imager scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the
last character.

• The host should respond by negating CTS. The digital imager scanner checks for a de-asserted 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 scanner aborts transmission, sounds a transmission error, and discards the data.
If this communication sequence fails, the digital imager 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.

8 - 12 Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

Hardware Handshaking (continued)
• None: Scan this bar code to disable hardware handshaking.
• Standard RTS/CTS: Scan this bar code to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking.
• RTS/CTS Option 1: If you select RTS/CTS Option 1, the digital imager scanner asserts RTS before
transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The digital imager scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission
is complete.

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

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

Software Handshaking
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware
handshaking. There are five options.
If software handshaking and hardware handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes precedence.

• None: Select this option to transmit data immediately. No response is expected from host.
• ACK/NAK: If you select this option, after transmitting data, the digital imager scanner expects either an ACK
or NAK response from the host. When it receives a NAK, the digital imager scanner transmits the same data
again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data after receiving
NAKs, the digital imager scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
The digital imager scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK
or NAK. If the digital imager scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and
discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.

• ENQ: If you select this option, the digital imager scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before
transmitting data. If it does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the digital imager
scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least
every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.

• ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK
from the host, an additional ENQ is not required.

8 - 14 Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

Software Handshaking (continued)
• XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the digital imager scanner transmission off until the digital imager
scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
• The scanner receives an XOFF before it has data to send. When the digital imager scanner has data to
send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If it does
not receive the XON within this time, the digital imager scanner issues an error indication and discards the
data.
• The scanner receives an XOFF during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the
current byte. When the digital imager scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data
message. The digital imager scanner waits indefinitely for the XON.

Chapter 9 123Scan
Introduction
123Scan is a Windows®-based utility that programs the digital imager scanner with all parameters including
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before sending it to the host to ensure
compatibility between bar coded data and the host application. Program digital imager scanners via PC download
or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the 123Scan utility. Digital imager scanner programming is
saved in a file for electronic distribution. The 123Scan program includes a help file.

Communication with 123Scan
To communicate with the 123Scan program which runs on a host computer running a Windows operating system,
use an RS-232 cable to connect the digital imager scanner to the host computer (see Connecting an RS-232
Interface on page 8-2).
123Scan requirements:

• Host computer with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
• Digital imager scanner
• RS-232 cable.

123Scan Parameter
To communicate with the 123Scan program, load 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto the host
computer, and scan the bar code below. Refer to 123Scan instructions for programming the digital imager scanner.
Scan the bar code below to enable the 123Scan interface on the digital imager scanner.

Chapter 10 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when you power down the digital imager scanner.
NOTE

Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is
only necessary upon the first power-up when connecting to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

* Indicates Default

*Enable UPC-A
(01h)

Feature/Option
Option Hex Value for
programming via SSI command

Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the
UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check
Digit on page 10-14. The digital imager scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a
successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes. See the individual
parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.

10 - 2 Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Symbology Parameter Defaults
Table 10-1 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4.

• Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers appear in this
chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes.
See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters
using this method.
NOTE

See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, and miscellaneous default
parameters.

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Parameter # 10h
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN
13+2). The following options are available:
•

If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN
plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.

•

If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.

•

If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must
decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 10-14
before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.

•

If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13
bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a
supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy on page 10-14 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no
supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)
Parameter # 71h
This feature allows the digital imager scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 symbols.
Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39 symbols having a leading
space as a first character for later transmission. The leading space is not buffered.
Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space transmits in sequence all buffered data in a first-in
first-out format, plus the “triggering” symbol. See the following pages for further details.
Select Do Not Buffer Code 39 to transmit all decoded Code 39 symbols immediately without being stored in the
buffer.
This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, Motorola recommends configuring the digital imager
scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.

To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission (see
Transmit Buffer on page 10-34) or clear the buffer.

Buffer Data
To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 symbol must be read with a space immediately
following the start pattern.

• Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the digital imager scanner issues a low/high beep to
indicate successful decode and buffering. For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer.

• The digital imager scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer.
• No transmission occurs.

Overfilling Transmission Buffer
The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read results in an overflow of the transmission buffer:

• The digital imager scanner indicates that it rejected the symbol by issuing three long, high beeps.
• No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.

Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer
If the symbol just read was the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty:

• A short low/high/low beep signals that the buffer is empty.
• No transmission occurs.
• The buffer remains empty.

Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5
Parameter # L1 = 14h, L2 = 15h
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains. Set lengths for D 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific
range.

• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length.
Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode
only D 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4.
To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-2.

• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two
selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For
example, to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select D 2 of 5 - Two
Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan
Cancel on page D-2.

• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a D 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range.
Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode D 2
of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan D 2 of 5 - Length Within Range. Then
scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or
change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-2.

• Any Length - Scan this option to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the
digital imager scanner capability.
NOTE

Due to the construction of the D 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of
the code to transmit as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent
this, select specific lengths (D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, Two Discrete Lengths) for D 2 of 5
applications.

Security Level
Parameter # 4Dh
The digital imager scanner offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include the Code 128
family, UPC/EAN, and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There
is an inverse relationship between security and digital imager scanner aggressiveness, so choose only that level of
security necessary for any given application.

• Security Level 0: This setting allows the digital imager scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while
providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.

• Security Level 1: This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.
• Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2 and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be
advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes.
Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the digital imager scanner. If you

Macro PDF Features
Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The digital imager scanner
can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kB of decoded data stored in
up to 50 MacroPDF symbols.
CAUTION

When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.
Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When
scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption. If, when
scanning a mixed sequence, the digital imager scanner emits two long low beeps (Low Low) this
indicates an inconsistent file ID or inconsistent symbology error.

Flush Macro Buffer

Chapter 11 Advanced Data Formatting
Introduction
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF
to edit scan data to suit requirements.
Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 11-8, or by installing the 123Scan
utility (see Chapter 9, 123Scan) which allows programming the digital imager 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 the 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.

Scanning a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 transmits the following: 00001299. If you scan a Code 39
bar code of 1299X15598, this rule is ignored because the bar code didn’t meet the length criteria.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.

11 - 2

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 11-8.
• Specify Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128),
code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits “129”). See Criteria on page
11-11.

• Select Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule specify how to
format the data for transmission. See Actions on page 11-27.

• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 11-8. This places the rule in the “top” position in the
rule buffer.

• Use special-purpose bar codes to correct errors during this process. Erase criteria, actions, and entire rules
by scanning the appropriate bar code on page 11-9.
Beeper Definitions on page 2-2 guide through the programming steps.

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, use the following steps:

To correct any errors made while entering this rule, scan the Quit Entering Rules bar code on page 11-9. If you
already saved the rule, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 11-9.

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 transmits 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)

11 - 4

Symbol DS6707 Digital Imager Scanner Product Reference Guide

and the cashier keys the price manually.
To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as:
Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class
key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.
The “sale” rule may look like this:
Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class
key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key.
To switch between the two sets of rules, program a “switching rule” that specifies the type of bar code to 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 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 11-10 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 11-10.

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

Advanced Data Formatting

11 - 5

Note that using the standard data editing functions also creates ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules,
and the previous hierarchy also applies to them. For the digital imager scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix
programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 4-17.
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 can have one or more default rules
burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. Disable default rules by
entering the following general rule in the user programmable buffer:
When receiving scan data, send all data.
Since this rule always applies, ADF never enters the default rules.

T
TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar
systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP
provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is received correctly at the other end.
UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is widely used for real-time voice and video
transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable
protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the address of the destination station, but the address of a
destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the
world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which
is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.
Telnet. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at a
terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.
Terminal Emulation. A “terminal emulation” emulates a character-based mainframe session on a remote non-mainframe
terminal, including all display features, commands and function keys. The VC5000 Series supports Terminal Emulations
in 3270, 5250 and VT220.
Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR). A program under DOS that ends its foreground execution to remain resident in
memory to service hardware/software interrupts, providing background operation. It remains in memory and may
provide services on behalf of other DOS programs.
TFTP. (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol that has no directory or
password capability. It is the protocol used for upgrading firmware, downloading software and remote booting of diskless
devices.
Tolerance. Allowable deviation from the nominal bar or space width.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. See TCP/IP.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. See TFTP.
TSR. See Terminate and Stay Resident.

U
UDP. User Datagram Protocol. A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery
is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored,
because there is no time to retransmit. If UDP is used and a reliable delivery is required, packet sequence checking and
error notification must be written into the applications.
UPC. Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two
spaces, each of which is any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States.
