Regulatory Approvals FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices). FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 2.5 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Channel The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. •Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference. • In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) • If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.Note:This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on 2.4G channel 1-11

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU1Introduction0INTRODUCTIONThis menu book is intended for setting up your bar code reader to optimize its performance for your particular application. When the required options have been configured, they remain in the reader, even after power down. The reader can be returned to factory default by reading the default label.Menu labelsThe reader must be set by reading the bar code labels in the menu table. The layout of the table is explained in next figure 0.01.Besides options, some chapters have commands. The commands need to be scanned directly, without reading the “SET” and “END” labels. The commands are executed directly and, unlike options, are not stored in non volatile memory.Fig. 0.01. Menu labelsEnter modeSave modeconfiguration parametersserial commandsoptional settingfactory default setting

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU2Configuring via the menu bookTo configure the required options proceed as follows:• scan the SET label• scan the required option(s)• scan the END labelAfter scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non volatile memory.Recommended steps to follow for quick configurationAfter checking your connection you are ready to start the configuration of your reader.• Check connection:Ensure that the power is disconnected from your equipment before you connect the reader. After connecting the data cable, the power can be applied to the equipment and the reader.•1:Use chapter 1 to set the correct default for your reader.* The reader is now in factory default.•2:Use chapter 2 to optimize the interface. * The reader is now able to read bar codes and transmit the data.•3:Use chapter 3 to optimize the reader for the type of bar codes you use. Set the readable codes first and then the options for each of these codes.* The reader is now able to read the codes you selected, validate the data using length and check digit and transmit that part of the data you specified.•4:Use chapter 4 to select the string options for your application. These include transmission of code length, conversion of upper and lower case and setting a prefix and suffix.* The reader can now read and transmit the data in the required format.•5:Use chapter 5 to select the read options to your preference. These options affect the read mode, read time, trigger and redundancy.•6:Use chapter 6 to select the indicator options you prefer. These options affect the operation of the buzzer and good read LED.* The reader will now operate to your personal preference.See figure 0.02.Power OFFConnect readerPower ONSet DefaultOptimize interfaceOptimize symbologiesSet string optionsSet read optionsSet indicator optionsFig. 0.02.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU3Introduction0Configuring via RS232In the middle column of the menu pages the command is printed, e.g. U2. These commands can be sent to readers with an RS232 interface. To configure via the RS232 port proceed as follows:• transmit <ESC><Command string 1><CR>• transmit <ESC><Command string 2><CR>• transmit <ESC><Command string n><CR>• transmit <ESC><Z2><CR><ESC><ESC> is the ASCII escape character (Hex 1B).<Command string><Command string> is the ASCII command with its parameters as would be scanned from the menu book, i.e. <ESC>M41B<CR> configures the ASCII control code <STX> as the prefix for Code 39.Example in hexadecimal format: 1B 4D 34 31 4B ØDEach 3-character command should be preceded with the '[' character (Hex 5B) i.e. <Esc>[BCC<CR> is used to enable Data Matrix.Each 4-character command should be preceded with the ']' character (Hex 5D) i.e. <Esc>]DIAU<CR> is used to disable auto connect.<CR><CR> is the ASCII CR character (Hex ØD).<Z2>Some options are not immediately active, like baud rate settings. Most other options are immediately active, but the command Z2 must be send to store the settings to non volatile memory.The following commands may be used to:Command B sound a good read beepCommand E sound an error beepCommand L switch on good read LEDCommand Y de-trigger the readerCommand Z trigger the readerThe characters transmitted must be separated by an intercharacter delay to allow the reader to process each character received and to execute the command string.Configuring via OptiConfigureOptiConfigure is the interactive Universal menu book version. With OptiConfigure it is possible to create your own personal setup sheet on-line. OptiConfigure supports Opticon bar code readers which can be configured with this Universal menu book. In addition OptiConfigure offers product specific and less often used menu labels. Based on the product and software version selected, OptiConfigure will show these specific options.OptiConfigure can be accessed via the Opticon home page (www.opticon.com).

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU7Interface22. INTERFACEThis chapter describes the configurable transmission options for your reader. Some options may not be relevant to the type of reader you have. An attempt to configure the reader for such options does not affect its operation and usually results in the reader producing an error tone, indicating you tried to make an illegal configuration entry.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU82.1. RS232 optionsThis paragraph describes the specific options for a reader with an RS232 interface.Bar code readers with an RS232 interface are normally supplied with either a DB25 or DB9 female connector. Both connectors are fitted with an external power connector. See figure 2.01 or 2.02.Other connectors and/or connections are available by special order.Pin functions as seen from the bar code reader.FG:Frame Ground: This is normally connected to the "chassis ground" at the host computer. In the RS232 specification the use of FG is optional.TxD:Transmitted Data: Transmits data from the reader to the host. This connection is mandatory.RxD:Received Data: Receives data from the host to the reader. This connection is required if you want to send commands to the bar code reader or if software handshaking or acknowledgement control is used.RTS:Request To Send: A general purpose output to the host, used for hardware flow control. This connection is optional.CTS:Clear To Send: A general purpose input to the bar code reader, used for hardware flow control. This connection is optional.SG:Signal Ground: Reference point for power supply and interface signals. This connection is mandatory.+5V:5 Volt power supply to the reader.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU11Interface22.1.3. HandshakingData flow control is available using either hardware (Modem, Busy/Ready) or software (XON/XOFF). In addition, an optional acknowledgement control is available (ACK/NAK with or without error response). Flow control may be combined with acknowledgement control. The RS232 voltage levels employed by most readers for transmission are either -10V (OFF) or +10V (ON).1. No handshake:Does not employ any handshaking: data is transmitted regardless of the control signals. This option will undo any handshake and flow control options selected.2. Busy/ready: The reader's RTS is ON as soon as the power is supplied to the reader and will stay ON while the reader can receive data from the host. The host will keep the reader's CTS ON while it is ready to receive data from the reader. While CTS is ON the reader is able to transmit data. The reader will abort transmission with an error indication of the buzzer when the CTS is not ON within a certain configurable period. The reader may drop RTS to OFF during transmission if it can not receive data simultaneously. See figure 2.04.3. Modem mode:The reader's RTS is OFF as soon as power is supplied to the reader. The reader will turn RTS ON when it wants to transmit data to the host. The host should respond by putting CTS ON when it is ready to receive data. While CTS is ON the reader is allowed to transmit data. When all data has been transmitted, the reader will turn RTS OFF. In response, the host should turn OFF the reader's CTS. If, while RTS is ON, the CTS line is not ON for a certain configurable period, the reader will terminate the transmission with an error indication of the buzzer. See figure 2.05.4. XON/XOFF:The reader sends data until an XOFF (ASCII DC3, Hex 13) character is received from the host. Only when the reader receives an XON (ASCII DC1, Hex 11) character, the reader continues to send its data.5. ACK/NAK:After data has been transmitted, the reader expects to receive one of the following responses from the host:Response: "ACK" (ASCII: Hex Ø6)Action: The reader completes transmission with the good-read buzzer.Response: "NAK" (ASCII: Hex 15)Action: The reader sends the data again.Response: "DC1" (ASCII: Hex 11)Action: The reader completes transmission without a good-read or error buzzer.Response: "None"Action: If there is no response within one second then the reader terminates transmission with an error buzzer.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU126. ACK/NAK no response:The difference from the ACK/NAK mode is that when no response from the host is received within 100 ms, the reader assumes that the data has been received correctly by the host.Response: "ACK" (ASCII: Hex Ø6)Action: The reader completes transmission with the good-read buzzer.Response: "NAK" (ASCII: Hex 15)Action: The reader sends the data again.Response: "DC1" (ASCII: Hex 11)Action: The reader completes transmission without a good-read or error buzzer.Response: "None"Action: If there is no response within 100 ms then the reader terminates transmission with a good read buzzer.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU21Interface22.3. Wireless optionsThis section is intended to configure a wireless connection to an Opticon cradle and third party dongles. Options are available to minimize the reader’s power consumption and to maximize working time and enable secure data exchange.Default Bluetooth connection:By default the reader is configured to connect to the Opticon cradle. Simply read the twelve character Bluetooth address label on the bottom of the cradle. The reader automatically connects to the cradle and automatically configures the pin code, authentication and encryption. Default IEEE 802.15.4 connection:By default the reader is configured to connect to the Opticon cradle. Simply read the ten-character address label on the bottom of the cradle. The reader automatically connects to the cradle and automatically configures the pin code, authentication and encryption.With IEEE 802.15.4, the connection only exists during data transfers. Therefor the options "Auto disconnect" and "Auto reconnect" are not supported.DRS232 cradle connection:In case the cradle is connected to the computer via RS232, the communication parameters such as baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits can be configured via the bar code reader. For baud rate settings and for data, parity and stop bits refer to the applicable paragraphs as described earlier in this chapter.USB cradle connection:In case the cradle is connected to the computer via USB, the USB driver for the cradle needs to be installed. This driver can be downloaded from www.opticon.com. The USB driver installs a serial port on the computer. Please consult your sales office for not listed platforms.Bluetooth dongle connection:In case a third party Bluetooth dongle is used, the Bluetooth address, pin code and security options needs to be configured manually. Consult your Bluetooth dongle manual how to obtain the Bluetooth address, how to configure the pin code and secure transmission. You need this information to configure the bar code reader. The Bluetooth dongle's driver installs a serial port on the computer, which is used by the bar code reader to transmit the data.Keyboard emulation:In case keyboard emulation is required, Opticon's program Tscan can convert the serial data from a COM port into keyboard data. Ask your local dealer or sales office how to obtain Tscan.Enable auto connect to Opticon cradle: After reading the address label on the cradle, the reader immediately tries to establish a connection.Disable auto connect to Opticon cradle: After reading the address label on the cradle, the reader needs to be connected manually.Connect to other Bluetooth device:In order to connect to a different Bluetooth device scan the applicable menu labels in the following configuration order:• set Bluetooth device address (mandatory)• set Security (optional)• read label: Manually connect (mandatory)Bluetooth options:The reader can be configured for several options:• set connection (mandatory), choose from trigger connection or auto connection• select an address (mandatory)• select security method (optional)• set power savings (optional)• select memorizing options (optional)IEEE 802.15.4 options:The reader can be configured for several options:• set connection (mandatory)• set trigger connect options (optional)• set power savings (optional)• select memorizing options (optional)

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU33Code options33. CODE OPTIONSThe menu options in this chapter are intended to select:• which bar code types can be read• the permissible length of the bar codes to be read• bar code specific optionsIn short: the decoding characteristics of the reader can be adjusted.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU343.1. Setting of readable codesThese options do not affect the reading of the menu labels. The required bar code types can be selected by enabling a single readable code only and enabling readable codes.It is strongly recommended to select only the required codes.Advantages of selecting only the required codes are:• faster reading• no accidental scanning of unwanted bar codes• reduced probability of reading errors which can not be prevented completely, because of the limited security of some bar code typesSome bar codes are translations or special variants of other bar code types. The next figure lists their relationships. See figure 3.01.Example:To read Italian Pharmaceutical type bar codes, Enable Code 39, Select the option 'Italian Pharmaceutical' from the 'Options for Code 39'.3.1.1. Enabling a single read. codeWith this option you can set the reader to read a single bar code type only. If you select 'Code 39 only', no other codes will be read.Example:If you want to read Code 39 only, you read the option 'Code 39 only'. See figure 3.02. Example:If you want to read one of the special bar codes as listed in the relations table for setting of readable codes, e.g. EAN128 only, you read the option 'Code 128 only' followed by 'Enable EAN-128 only' from the 'Options for Code 128'.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU423.2. Setting of number of charactersIf you are going to read bar codes of known length, it is recommended to set the reader for a fixed number of characters. This can be done for up to two lengths. The reader uses this to verify that labels read are of the correct length, rejecting any labels which do not have the specified length. The advantage of setting a fixed length, is that it provides protection against short scans of labels, such as Interleaved 2of5, which do not provide sufficient security against partial scan. The length checking is done on the label data and is not affected by options such as (not) transmit start/stop character or check digit. Setting the number of characters does not affect fixed length codes, such as EAN-13. 2D symbologies such as PDF417 and Data Matrix are also not affected by fixed length settings.The following options are available:Fixed length OFF all codes. This option cancels the fixed length checking.Fixed length ON all codes. This option enables the fixed length checking. Two fixed lengths are programmed which will affect all variable length codes. This is done by reading the following labels:<SET><Fixed length ON - all codes> a bar code with the required length, a second bar code with the required length (this may be the same one as the first one)<END>See figure 3.06.It is possible to configure a fixed length or a minimum and a maximum length for selected symbologies by reading the respective option followed by a barcode label with the required length. The different functions may be combined and will be used as follows:• if a label is checked for fixed length, it will not be checked for minimum or maximum length• if a label is not checked for fixed length it will be checked for both minimum and maximum lengthBy reading an option followed by the 'END' label, the function is disabled or the values for that option are reset to their default. The default values are:• fixed: disabled, thus no fixed length checking• minimum: according to the next figure (The minimum length of the 2of5 bar code types can not be changed independent.)• maximum: disabled, thus no maximum length checking. (The maximum length is reader dependent)See figure 3.07.Fig. 3.06.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU43Code options3Fixed length ON for selected codes:This option enables fixed length checking for different bar code types and will only affects the bar code types read. The number of fixed lengths which can be configured is reader dependent.<SET><Fixed length ON for selected codes>Scan bar codes of the required type and length<END>Example:The 2 examples shown in the next figure have the following results: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6 characters. Any other bar code type will not be checked for fixed length. In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a length of 6 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a length of 12 characters. This implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are checked for a fixed length of 12 characters. Any other bar code type will not be checked for fixed length. See figure 3.08.Minimum length for selected codes:This option modifies the default minimum length table. The number of minimum lengths which can be configured is reader dependent. This is done by reading the following labels:<SET><Minimum length for selected codes>Scan bar codes of the required type and length<END>Example:The two examples shown in the next figure have the following result: In the first example only Code 39 labels will be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters. All other bar code types will be checked for a minimum length as displayed in the next figure.In the second example Code 39 labels will be checked for a minimum length of 2 characters and Interleaved 2of5 labels for a minimum length of 4 characters. This implies that also Industrial 2of5, Matrix 2of5 and S-Code are checked for a minimum length of 4 characters. All other bar code types will be checked for a minimum length as per figure 3.09.Fig. 3.07.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU463.3. Setting code specific optionsCode specific options may be configured affecting:• enabling and disabling code variants and translations, such as EAN-128, as were listed in the relations table for setting of readable codes• data verification such as by means of a check digit calculation. A check digit has a value that can be calculated from the other data characters and is usually the last data character in a bar code• pre-editing of the data string such as removing the check-digit and/or start/stop charactersThe more common options are described here:Check CD:This option enables the check digit calculation.If the calculated check digit does not correspond to the check digit in the bar code, then the bar code is ignored. The use of a check digit greatly improves the security of a bar code.Not check CD:This option disables the check digit calculation. This option is required when the bar codes do not contain a check digit or contain an invalid check digit.Transmit CD:This option enables the transmission of the check digit together with the data characters.If the check digit calculation is disabled, the reader can not differentiate anymore between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, including what could constitute a check digit.Not transmit CD:This option disables the transmission of the check digit. If the check digit calculation is disabled, the reader can not differentiate between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, excluding the character that could constitute the check digit for the type of bar code.Transmit ST/SP:This option enables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code.Not transmit ST/SP:This option disables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code. The next figure summarizes the effect of the transmit options for a Code 39 label with:• start and stop characters '*'• data characters '1 2 3 4 5 6'• or data characters '1 2 3 4 5' and check digit '6'Note that because '6' is, according to the Code 39 specifications, not a valid check digit for this label. The check digit calculation must therefore be disabled in order for the label to be accepted.See figure 3.11.Fig. 3.11.

For string format see figure 3.22.ABC-Code:The ABC code is an acronym for American Blood Commission. This code consists of two bar codes which are decoded in one read cycle. The code is concatenated when the stop character of the first bar code and the start character of the second bar code is a D. These two D's are not transmitted. For string format see figure 3.23.CX-Code:The CX-Code consists of two bar codes which are decoded in one read cycle. The code is concatenated when the stop character of the first bar code is a C, and the start character of the second bar code is a B. The B and C characters are not transmitted.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU56Space insertion:This option inserts spaces in position 2, 7, 13, of the data string for use in library systems.ST/SP translation:This option enables the translation and transmission of the start and stop characters. Thus if the option ST/SP: abcd/tn*e is chosen, the start character is converted to lower case, e.g. from A, B, C or D to a, b, c, or d respectively and the stop character is converted from A, B, C or D to t, n, *, or e respectively. The next figure shows the resulting format for these options with a Codabar label using A and B as start and stop characters and 1 2 3 4 5 6 as data characters. For string format see figure 3.25.Minimum data characters:Codabar labels are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters are set by the user. If the number of characters in the label is shorter than the number set, the label will be rejected. If the fixed length option is used for Codabar type labels then such labels will additionally be checked for fixed length.Inter character gap check:This option enables the reading of Codabar labels with a large or irregular gap between characters. Checking the gap means that it is not allowed to have a gap. Disable the gap check allows gaps in the bar code.Fig. 3.25.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU83String options44.2. Set prefix and suffixA prefix and suffix of maximum 4 direct input entries each may be included in front and at the end of the string respectively.Bar code readers with an RS232 interface may be programmed with all 128 ASCII characters. Keyboard wedges may additionally be programmed with the special keys supported by the keyboard, e.g. function keys.Default settings are:• RS232: Prefix - None, Suffix - ^M (CR)• Wedge: Prefix - None, Suffix - returnHow to set a prefix or a suffix:To configure a prefix for example for Code-39 as C39: scan the following labels from this current chapter ‘String Options’:<SET><Set prefix Code 39> <C><3><9><:><END>Bar code readers which do not support a different prefix or suffix for each symbology have to make use of <ALL>.How to clear a prefix or suffix:To clear the suffix for example for Code 128 scan the following labels:<SET><Set suffix Code 128><END>How to set a suffix for all symbologies:To configure for example the suffix <CR> for all symbologies scan the following labels:<SET><Set suffix ALL><^M (CR)><END>Note that this last example is for an RS232 interface. For a wedge interface a ^M (CR) results in the key combination <ctrl>M.If the direct input keyboard key <return> from this chapter is selected then the result is a <carriage return> or <Enter> key. See figure 4.03.Preamble and postamble:A preamble is transmitted before the prefix and can contain up to 8 direct input characters. A postamble is transmitted after the suffix and can contain up to 8 direct input characters. A preamble and postamble will be transmitted for all symbologies. By default, the preamble and postamble is empty.Code identification Opticon:A code identification and the code length may be included as a prefix or suffix. The direct input 'code identifier' provides a quick method of programming in addition to programming a separate prefix or suffix for each bar code type. See figure 4.04.Code identification AIM/ISO:The Code identifier will be transmitted in the ISO 15424 format : ]cm, where:• ] is ASCII value decimal 93 • c is code character• m is modifier character(s)For a detailed list of the modifier character 'm' and the AIM-ID’s, refer to the ISO15424 standard.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU84In case the modifier is an asterix (*), the value depends on the options of the symbology or on the configured Code options. For details refer to their own respective modifier tables. See figures 4.06 up to 4.15.Code length:The code length is transmitted as 2 digits, representing the decimal number of data characters transmitted, excluding prefix and suffix characters. For 2D bar codes the code length is transmitted as 6 digits. It is also possible to send for both 1D and 2D codes the length as 6 digits. These direct input characters count as 1 entry of the 4 permissible entries for a prefix or suffix. Example:If you want to configure the prefix<code identifier>:<code length>:scan the following labels:<SET><Set prefix all><Code identification><:><Code length><:><END>If you want to use the code identifiers, but need another code identifier for Code 39, you scan the following labels:<SET><Set prefix all><Code identification><:><Set prefix Code 39><$><:><END>Fig. 4.04.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU109Read options55. READ OPTIONSThis chapter allows to set the read mode, trigger type and redundancy.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU1105.1. Read mode optionsThe following read modes are available:Single read:When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will be turned OFF. The reader must be triggered again to read another label. This option and 'Disable trigger' can not be programmed at the same time.Multiple read:When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will stay ON for a time as set by 'Read time options' or indefinitely if the trigger switch has been disabled. The same label can only be decoded again after the label has not been detected for a number of scans.Continuous read:The reader will produce as much data as it can decode regardless whether it is the same or not. This mode is mainly used for demonstration and diagnosis.Disable trigger:This is applicable to readers which have a trigger switch. When this option is selected, the reader will stay ON all the time.Note: Selecting this option for a laser reader means that the laser diode is ON continuously, which may reduce the lifetime of this component. Also local legislation may require that the trigger switch is always enabled. Therefore it is recommended not to disable the trigger switch for laser readers.Add-on wait mode:Used if UPC/EAN with add-on is enabled. The reader searches within the selected time for a valid add-on code. If a valid add-on code is found, the reader transmits the data immediately. If nothing is found behind the code, the reader will transmit the data without add-on. If something is found behind the code, the reader ignored the code in case it is not a valid add-on.Trigger repeat:This option makes it more easy to select a single bar code from a sheet filled with bar codes. If the trigger switch is pressed once, the laser beam is on during the configured read time. The laser beam can now be moved to the required bar code. If the trigger switch is pressed again, the bar code is decoded and transmitted. If the read time expires, the laser switches off and the trigger sequence should be repeated. If the read time is set to 0, then if the trigger switch is pressed, the laser is on, but does not accept bar codes. As soon the trigger switch is released, the barcode is decoded and transmitted. Support for this option is reader dependent.Structured append time out:When a bar code consists of multiple physical bar codes, this time out value is used. The next bar code must be read before this time out is expired. The time out value is between 1 and 255 seconds. This value can be configured by reading 1 up to 3 direct input numeric characters from chapter: String options.Default the structured append time out is set to 30 seconds.

Multiple read reset timeThis option can be used in conjunction with multiple read mode.• for Laser and CCD readers, it sets the time that the reader should be pointed away from the label before it can decode the same label again• for Image readers, it sets the number of frames that the reader should be pointed away from the label before it can decode the same label againIndefinitely means that the next bar code must always be different, during the time the bar code reader is triggered.For the image reader the multiple reset time is not measured in ms, but in frames. The duration of each frame is variable, and is dependent of the captured image. See figure 5.01. Fig. 5.01.

This is only supported for reader equipped with the auto trigger option. Disable auto trigger:The auto trigger function is not activated.Enable auto trigger:The reader will be triggered if it detects changes in brightness.Stand detection: The option enables auto trigger automatically in case the reader is inserted into the stand. If the reader is removed from the stand, auto trigger is disabled and the reader should be triggered manually. This option is disabled in case the auto trigger option is activated. Support for this option is reader dependent and a special stand is required. SET _ZZ_Disable auto trigger +F _+F_Enable auto trigger +I _+I_Enable auto trigger stand detection *4 _*4_END _ZZ_

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU115Read options55.2. Read time optionsThe length of the period that the reader is ON after the trigger switch is pressed, or (in multiple or continuous read mode) after a label has been read. Selecting a read time of 0 means that the reader will stay ON as long as the trigger switch is being pressed. Selecting a read time for readers without a trigger switch, or when the trigger switch is disabled, does not have any effect.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU117Read options55.3. Power controlFor CCD readers without a trigger switch the LEDs may be pulsed to reduce power consumption. If this option is selected the LEDs will flash until the reader is reading a bar code. The LEDs will remain on as long as the reader detects a bar code.For some CCD readers the LEDs may be placed in a low power mode to reduce power consumption. If this option is selected the LEDs will emit less light which will reduce the depth of field.For some RS232 readers the RS232 interface may be placed in a stand by mode to reduce power consumption. If this option is selected, the RS232 outputs from the reader are in a high impedance state when the reader is not transmitting. The reader can not receive RS232 commands when this option is selected.The motor options are only applicable for selected laser bar code readers and with trigger enabled. In case the read time is expired, the motor can be switched OFF. In case the trigger is activated, the motor is switched ON again. To reduce the start-up time of the motor, the motor can be configured to half speed in idle mode. The Auto shutoff time can be configured between 1 and 9999 seconds, by reading 1 up to 4 direct input numeric characters from chapter: String options.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU132B. GLOSSARY OF TERMSAIM: An acronym for Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility. This is referring to an organization that is an authority for standards for bar codes.ASCII:An acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This refers to a set of 128 characters that are standardized. These characters include all basic English characters, digits, punctuation characters and control characters.Bar: The dark element of a printed symbol.Bar code: An array of parallel rectangular bars and spaces which together represent data elements of characters in a particular symbology. The bars and spaces are arranged in a predetermined pattern, following unambiguous rules defined by the symbology.Bar code density: The number of bar code characters which can be represented in a linear unit of measure. Bar code density is often expressed in characters per inch.Bar code label: A label that carries a bar code and, optionally, other human-readable information; it can be affixed to an article.Bar code reader: A device used to scan and decode a bar code symbol.Bar width: The thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar. Also known as element width.Baudrate: The rate at which data is transferred over a serial interface, expressed in bits per second.Bluetooth:A wireless transmission protocol that uses radio frequency waves. More information on bluetooth can be found on the Internet site: http://www.bluetooth.orgBluetooth dongle:A device that converts electrical signals into radio frequency waves according to the bluetooth standard.CCD reader: A scanning device which uses the CCD technology. CCD is an acronym for Charge Coupled Device. Light from a lightsource within the CCD reader is reflected by a bar code label and falls on an array of light sensitive elements in the reader, the CCD. Whether the light is reflected depends on black or white parts of the bar code. The presence (or absence) of reflected light determines the presence (or absence) of electrical charge (electrons) in the distinct elements. The result is an electrical image of the bar code which can be used for further processing.Character: A single group of bars and spaces which represent an individual number, letter or punctuation mark. It is usually composed of six, seven or eight bits.Check digit: A character included within a symbol whose value is based, mathematically, on other characters within the symbol. It is used to perform a mathematical check to ensure the accuracy of the read.CMOS interface:A serial interface that typically is used between embedded devices. The CMOS standard defines a logical "1" level at the same level as the power supply of the electronic components that are used inside the device.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU133AppendixCMOS scanner:A scanning device, which uses the CMOS technology. CMOS is an acronym for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors. Light from a light source within the CMOS scanner is reflected by a bar code label and falls on an array of light sensitive elements in the scanner, the CMOS sensor. Whether the light is reflected depends on black or white parts of the bar code. The presence (or absence) of reflected light determines the presence (or absence) of electrical charge (electrons) in the distinct elements. The result is an electrical image of the bar code, which can be used for further processing.Composite code:A bar code label that consists of two parts of two different symbologies: a linear (1D) part and a composite (2D) part. The composite part holds meta information about the product (like manufacturing date, quantity, etc.), while the linear part holds the product identification code.Data: Digital information.Default: A standard option or parameter setting. Default settings are present in the memory of a device. If no other value or option is chosen within a program (or bar code menu), the default settings are automatically chosen.Disable: To disable an option means, to deactivate.ECC:An acronym for Error Correction Code. See error correction.ECI:An acronym for Extended Channel Interpretation. This refers to a method used in 2-dimensional bar codes to encoded characters in other code sets then ASCII.Emulation: The imitation of all or part of one device by another so that the mimicking device can accept the same data and perform the same functions as the actual device.Enable: To enable an option means, to activate it.Error correction:The possibility to correct read errors in a bar code. Most 2D bar codes have extra information that allows correction of the bar code. This makes it possible to read (partly) damaged bar codes.Fixed length: Relates to a symbol in which the data elements must be of specific length.Flow control:See handshaking.Format: A message or data structure that allows identification of control and data parts by their position within a frame.Handshaking: The initial exchange between two data communication systems prior to and during data transmission. The first unit sends a signal, then waits for an appropriate signal in response. A handshake method (such as XON/XOFF), parity setting, number of data bits, and number of stop bits.IEEE 802.15.4:A wireless transmission protocol that uses radio frequency waves.Intensity: The amount of radiant or luminous flux per unit solid angle that is diverging from a light source.Inter character delay: The time between transmitting two characters.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU134Interface: Allows devices to communicate with each other. Used most often to refer to the design of hardware and software which allows connection of network components and transfer of information.ISO:An acronym for International Organization for Standardization. This is referring to an organization, which is an authority for international standards.Keyboard wedge: This device permits you to connect a bar code reader between the computer and it's keyboard by way of an Y-cable. The computer "suggests" that the scanned data is keyboard entered. Normal software can still be used.Laser reader: A scanning device which utilises a laser diode for it's source of illumination. Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A physical process which after focussing leads a light beam with special properties. A laser beam can be very powerful. For bar code scanning a low energy, safe laser beam is used. Opticon's laser readers are Class 1 (Highest security).Parity: A method of checking for errors in transmitted data. The eight bits of each transmitted character are added, and the total must always be an odd number for odd parity and an even number for even parity. If the total is wrong, the communications software detects that an error has occured during transmission and may request that the data is retransmitted.Preamble:Also known as common prefix. This is one or more characters, which accompany the transported data. The preable is put in front of the code specific prefix and the bar code data itself.Prefix: One or more characters which accompany transported data. A prefix is put in front of the data and is part of the frame.Postamble:Also known as common suffix. This is one or more characters, which accompany the transported data. The postamble is transmitted at the end of the data, right after the code specific suffix.Protocol: Usually, a specified method for determining how and when to format and send data. A serial (asynchronous) transmission protocol might include the baudrate, handshake method (XON/XOFF, etc.), parity setting, number of data bits (character length), and number of stop bits.Resolution: In optics, sharpness; the ability of a reader to read the narrow bars in bar codes.Reader: A device that examines a spatial pattern, one part after another, and generates analog or digital signals corresponding to the pattern. The reader converts bar code symbols to electrical signals for input to a bar code reader decoder for processing and subsequent output through a data communications interface.Scan engine:The digitizer part of the bar code reader. The scan engine uses one of the following techniques: laser, CCD or CMOS.Scan rate: The scan engine consists of an illumination part (optional), a sensor part and a digitizer part. With this, it translates a printed bar code into a computer readable form. The scan engine uses one of the following techniques: laser, CCD or CMOS.Scanner:See Scan-engine.

OPTICON UNIVERSAL MENU BOOKU135AppendixStart bit: A control bit used to indicate the start of a group of data bits being sent in asynchronous transmission.Stop bit: A control bit used to indicate the end of a group of data bits being sent in asynchronous transmission.Structured append:The possibility to concatenate multiple bar codes into one block of data. This method is supported by most 2D bar codes.Suffix: One or more characters which accompany transported data. A suffix is put at the end of the data and is part of the frame.Symbology: A set of rules specifying the way in which data may be represented.Trigger:A signal that initiates an action or a series of events. The trigger button on a bar code reader will start the scan-engine and try to decode the scanned and digitized data.TTL interface:A serial interface that typically is used between embedded devices. The TTL standard defines a logical "1" level at 5 volt.
