Figure 3-2 Prefix and Suffix Tab Options available are : - Transmission of a preamble, - Transmission of a prefix, - Transmission of a suffix,
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-8 - Transmission of a postamble. The transmitted string format is : Figure 3-2 Transmitted string format A prefix and suffix of maximum 4 direct input entries each may be included in front and at the end of the string respectively. 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. Default settings are : - Preamble : None - Prefix : None - Suffix : ^M (CR) - Postamble : None Tap the “Please Select Option” field to select one of above mentioned options : Figure 3-2 Prefix and Suffix, select Option list box Select one of these 4 options which meet your requirement.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-9 In the Prefix and Suffix option, 4 key input fields and their current settings are shown : Figure 3-2 Prefix option Figure 3-2 Suffix option The default suffix is ^M (CR) . In the Preamble and Postamble option, 8 key input fields and their current settings are shown : Figure 3-2 Preamble optio Figure 3-2 Postamble optio
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-10 In the code option field can be indicated for which symbology the current prefix or suffix should be configured. The “Clear All Codes” options will clear the prefix for all symbologies. Figure 3-2 Prefix : Code list box. Example : to set the characters “UPCA” for bar code symbology UPC-A, tap in the “Direct Input Keys” section, the field “1st Key Input”. A list box will popup, which shows all 128 ASCII characters. SPACE is the <Space> character (ASCII 32dec, 20hex). DEL is the <DEL> character 127dec 7Fhex. Scroll downwards to the character ‘U’ and tap the character ‘U’.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-11 Figure 3-2 Prefix : Direct input keys selection box.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-12 Thereafter the display will look like : Figure 3-2 Prefix : Selected character ‘U’ for UPC-A.. Repeat these steps for the characters ‘P’, ‘C’ and ‘A’. Thereafter the display will look like : Figure 3-2 Prefix : Selected characters ‘UPCA’ for UPC-A.. If the bar code reader reads an UPCA label with data ‘071589812309’, it will be send to the application as : ‘UPCA071589812309<CR>’ where <CR> is the default suffix ASCII character <CR>.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-13 Preamble and postamble are applicable for all bar code symbologies. Therefore the code option list box shows only 1 option : “Clear all codes”. Figure 3-2 Preamble : Only 1 code option.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-14 3.2.1.4 Quiet zone TAB With this option the reader can decode bar codes that have smaller start and/or end margins than specified for the symbology. Be carefully when using this option. It may increase the possibility of partial reads and ghost reads. Do not use smaller margin checks then necessary. If possible replace the bar code labels by ones that have correct start and end margins. Figure 3-2 Quiet zone options.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-15 3.2.1.5 Read Mode TAB With this option several read modes can be changed. Figure 3-2 Read mode options. Field name Description Trigger repeat This option makes it more easy to select a single bar code from a sheet filled with barcodes. 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 timer expires, the laser switches off and the trigger sequence should be repeated. If the read time is set to zero, 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. Default is disabled. Redundancy This is the number of times that a label must be correctly decoded before it is transmitted. Selecting a higher redundancy count makes reading slower, but is reduces the probability of reading errors, especially when labels of poor definition are used.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-16 Read 1 time Redundancy = 0 Read 2 times Redundancy = 1 (default) Read 3 times Redundancy = 2 Read 4 times Redundancy = 3 Usually bar codes are printed black on white, but sometimes white on black. These labels are called positive and negative respectively. In case the ‘negative bar codes’ option has been selected, positive labels may not be decoded or with difficulty. Positive bar codes Read black on white labels only (default) Negative bar codes Read white on black labels only Positive / Negative bar codes Positive and negative bar codes Read positive or negative labels automatically. Table 3-17 Read mode options descriptions 3.2.1.6 Advanced TAB If enabled, this field can be used to send serial commands to the bar code reader. Use this option only in case you want to access bar code reader features which are not documented in this user’s manual, but are documented in Opticon’s Universal Menu Book. If there is no need to make any other change to the bar code reader settings, do not use this option. A maximum of 180 characters can be input. Default this option is disabled. Figure 3-2 Command line options.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-17 Example : To set a prefix ‘Test’ for UPC-A, lookup in Opticon’s Universal Menu Book (UMB) the serial command’s of : - prefix UPC-A : see UMB paragraph 4.2.1, serial command = N1 - Direct input ‘T’ : see UMB paragraph 4.3.4, serial command = 0T - Direct input ‘e’ : see UMB paragraph 4.3.5, serial command = $E - Direct input ‘s’ : see UMB paragraph 4.3.5, serial command = $S - Direct input ‘t’ : see UMB paragraph 4.3.5, serial command = $T Input these 5 commands into the Command line field by using the keyboard Input panel. If the Send button is pressed, the serial command sequence is send to the bar code reader. To save the settings in the bar code reader, add the commands Z2 after the last command sequence. See picture below : Figure 3-2 Example of command line usage.
OPTICON User's manual PHL-7000 series 3-18 3.2.2 Bluetooth Device Properties ICON ITEM & FUNCTION • “Scan Device” Tab ( Figure 3-25) : ü Tap the Scan Device button to initiate a scan for Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth manager lists the Bluetooth devices that it finds, see Figure 3-26. If Bluetooth hardware is not found in the PDT, the Bluetooth Hardware Error window appears, see Figure 3-27. Table 3-18 described the Bluetooth Icons. ü Double tap the device to connect to on the device list. The Bluetooth Manager Authentication window appears. Tap No to connect to the device without authentication, or tap Yes to authenticate the device before connecting. (Figure 3-28) ü If the Yes button was selected in the Bluetooth Manager Authentication window, the enter PIN windows appears. Enter a PIN (between 1 and 16 alpha numeric characters) in the Enter PIN: text box, and tap OK. The mobile computer sends the PIN request to the device for bonding. (Figure 3-29) ü When prompted, the same PIN must be entered on the other device. When the PIN is entered correctly on the other device, the bonded icon appears on the device list.
