Connecting to a Host
The P 300 series scanners support a variety of host interfaces. The P 300FZY uses RS-232,
Synapse, Keyboard Wedge and Wand emulation to interface to a host system. The P 300PRO
uses RS-232 and Synapse to interface to a host system. This section describes how to make
each of these connections.
RS-232 Connection
Both the P 300FZY and P300PRO scanner use RS-232 to interface to a host system. This
connection can be made either directly from the scanner to the host, or indirectly through a
Synapse adapter cable to the host.
RS-232 Direct Connection
1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the scanner, as described in Installing
the Cable on page 1-2.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the host.

Programming the Scanner
Once the connections are made to the host, the scanner must be programmed to work with
that host. Refer to Chapter 2, Programming the Scanner for the specific bar code
programming information.
P 300PRO Scanning Mode Options
The P 300PRO supports several scanning options:
Smart Raster
The P 300PRO programmable “Smart Raster” capability causes the scanner to emit a raster
pattern dynamically adjusted to the particular PDF417 bar code’s height. To increase
scanning efficiency and decrease decode time, the scanner determines the height of the bar
code, opening at a size optimal for decoding that bar code.
In normal “Smart Raster” operation, a trigger pull causes a slab raster pattern to appear. If
the target is a 1-D bar code, the scanner decodes the symbol. If the target bar code is PDF417,
1-9
Getting Started
the scanning patterns open up to a full, optimized raster pattern as soon as the scanner is
properly aligned over the bar code.
Figure 1-8. P 300PRO Aiming and Scanning Patterns
For best operation in Smart Raster mode, keep the scan pattern as parallel to the symbol’s
rows as possible, keep the scanner as still as possible, and hold the scanner at an angle which
does not give specular reflection. Likewise, the symbol should be in good condition.
Unless otherwise programmed, the P 300PRO operates with Smart Raster performance.
Slab Only Raster
Scanner activation creates a slab raster pattern which does not open vertically, regardless of
bar code type. This may provide optimal performance on small PDF417 and 1D bar codes.
Always Raster
When programmed to this option, the scanner directly opens the raster pattern to the
programmed height and at the programmed expansion speed when the trigger is pulled.
Programmable Raster
The user programs the height of the raster pattern and the rate at which it expands. Scanner
activation creates the slab raster pattern which only opens for PDF417 or MicroPDF417 bar

codes, useful when decoding low-profile 1D and 2D bar codes where over-scanning is not
desired. Note that the height and expansion rate are directly, but not linearly, proportional to
their respective parameter values.
Aiming Modes
There are two aiming modes: aiming with a dot pattern, or with a slab raster pattern. Note
that aiming modes do not work with the Always Raster scanning option.
Aiming Dot Option
A trigger pull creates the single dot aiming pattern, which lasts for a fixed interval. This dot
can easily be seen in outdoor or high ambient light environments. A slab raster pattern or an
open raster pattern appears next, depending on the programmed scanning option. There are
two programmable timeout periods for this option — normal and extended.
Slab Raster Option
A trigger pull creates the slab raster pattern. If the target is a 1-D bar code, the pattern never
gets beyond a slab raster. If the target bar code is PDF417, the pattern opens up to an
optimized raster pattern as soon as the scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.
Scanning 1D Bar Codes
To scan a 1D bar code:
1. Make sure all connections are secure, and the symbol you want to scan is within the
scanning range (refer to Appendix D, Technical Specifications).
2. Aim the scanner at the symbol and press the trigger. The scanning beam remains on
for approximately 3.0 seconds (default) or until a successful decode.
The scanner has read the symbol when:
!You hear a short, high tone beep (if the beeper is enabled).
!The green LED on the scanner lights.
The green LED stays lit for one second or until the next trigger pull.
1-11
Getting Started
Aiming
Scan the Entire Symbol
!Cross every bar and space of the symbol with the scan beam.
!Hold the scanner further away for larger bar codes.
!Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Right Wrong
Hold at an Angle
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into
the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can
temporarily “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular
reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone.”
You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and still achieve a successful decode Simple
practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
Scanning PDF417 (2D) Bar Codes (P300 PRO only)
PDF417 scanning is enabled by default in the P 300PRO scanner, and can be disabled or
enabled by scanning the corresponding parameter bar code in Enable/Disable PDF417 on
page 2-85.
To scan a PDF417 bar code:
1. Aim the scanner at the PDF bar code and press the trigger.
2. Hold the trigger down and keep the scan line parallel to the rows of the symbol
overlapping the outside edges of the bar code by about 1/2” on each side.
The beam expands vertically to completely cover the bar code.
!Check that PDF417 scanning is enabled.
!Make sure the scan line extends at least 1/2” past the left and right edges of the bar
code.
1-12
P 300STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
!Hold the scanner closer for denser symbols, farther away for larger symbols.
!Make sure you scan to the top and bottom rows of the symbol.
!Be patient - it may take a few passes to decode the symbol.
The bar code has been completely decoded when you hear a tone, followed by a short, high
tone beep. The greed LED on the scanner lights. The green LED stays lit for two seconds or
until the next trigger pull.

Scan Stand Operation
Scan Stand operation allows hands-free scanning on the P 300FZY and P 300PRO. When the
scanner is placed in the stand, the scan pattern begins to blink on the surface below. The red
LED lights to indicate scanning activity.
To scan, present the symbol in the path of the scan pattern, but no more than 7” away. Make
sure the scan pattern extends at 3/4 inch beyond the symbol’s edges. When the symbol is
properly oriented, the scan pattern expands vertically to cover the symbol. The LED lights
green and a short, high-toned beep sounds to indicate successful decode.
After a successful decode, remove the symbol from the scan path. If the symbol does not
decode, or if the pattern does not expand, remove the symbol from the scan path and try
again. Make sure the bar code is on a clean, white, non-reflective surface.

Programming the Scanner
Introduction
The P 300 Series scanner can be programmed to perform various functions, or activate
different features. This chapter describes each feature and provides the programming bar
codes necessary for selecting these features for your scanner. Before programming, follow the
setup instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The P 300 Series scanner is shipped with the default settings shown in Table 2-1. You can
change these default values by scanning the appropriate bar codes included in this chapter.
These new values replace the standard default values in memory and are preserved even when
the scanner is powered down. The default parameter values can be recalled by scanning the
Set All Defaults bar code on page 2-9.
Even if the default parameters suit your needs, you must still select a terminal type. The
scanner automatically identifies the host type on power-up. It makes this determination
provided the host is powered-up before the scanner is attached to it. You must then select the
appropriate terminal type for that host.
The following table lists the defaults for all parameters. If you wish to change any option,
scan the appropriate bar code(s). Several of the bar code parameters apply only to the
P300FZY, and others apply only to the P300PRO. This is noted in the parameter menus.

The P 300 Series scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select
a higher level of security for poor quality bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between
security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary
for your application.
UPC/EAN Security Level 0
This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing
sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.
UPC/EAN Security Level 0
UPC/EAN Security Level 1
As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before
others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing misdecodes of poorly printed bar codes, and
the mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.

UPC/EAN Security Level 3
If you have tried Security Level 2, and are still experiencing misdecodes, select this security
level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out
of spec bar codes, and security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this
level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of your bar codes.

Enable/Disable Code 39 Full ASCII
To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate bar code below.
When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code to letters, punctuation marks,
numerals, and most control keystrokes on the keyboard.
The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to keyboard control characters such as
BACKSPACE and RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all but SPACE
and DELETE produce visible characters.
Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39
character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full
ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and $H emulates the
keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning ABC$M outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC
ENTER. Refer to Table C-1 on page C-1.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)
When you select the Buffer Code 39 option, all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a
first character are temporarily buffered in the unit to be transmitted later. The leading space
is not buffered.
Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission in sequence of
all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus transmission of the “triggering” symbol.
See the following pages for further details.
When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, decoded Code 39 symbols without
leading spaces are transmitted immediately.
Scan and Store affects Code 39 decodes only. If you select scan and store, we recommend that

To allow disabling of Code 39 buffering, first force the buffer transmission (see Transmit
Buffer) or clear the buffer. Both the CLEAR BUFFER and TRANSMIT BUFFER bar codes
are length 1. Be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1.

Buffer Data
To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled, and a symbol must be read with a space
immediately following the start pattern.
!Unless symbol overflows the transmission buffer, the scanner gives a low/high beep
to indicate successful decode and buffering. See Overfilling Transmission Buffer.
!The scanner adds the message, excluding the leading space, to the transmission
buffer.
!No transmission occurs.
Clear Transmission Buffer
To clear the transmission buffer, read a symbol which contains only a start character, a dash
(minus), and a stop character.
!The scanner issues a short high/low/high beep to signal that the transmission buffer
has been erased, and no transmission has occurred.
!The scanner erases the transmission buffer.
!No transmission occurs.
Clear Buffer
Transmit Buffer
To transmit the buffer, read a symbol containing either the first or second condition:
1. Only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character.
!The scanner signals that the transmission buffer has been sent (a low/high beep).
!The scanner sends the buffer.
!The scanner clears the buffer.

!The scanner signals that the buffer has been transmitted with a low/high beep.
Overfilling Transmission Buffer
If a decoded symbol results in an overflow of the transmission buffer:
!The scanner indicates that the symbol has been rejected by issuing three long,
high beeps.
!No transmission occurs. Data in the buffer is not affected.

Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of an RS-232C port, designed to operate either with or without
the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).
If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the
following sequence:
!The controller reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the controller waits
up to 2 seconds for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after 2 seconds (default), the
CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and any scanned data
is lost.
!When the CTS line is negated, the controller asserts the RTS line and waits up to 2
seconds for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted.
If, after 2 seconds (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a
transmit error and discards the data.
!When data transmission is complete, the controller negates RTS 10 msec after
sending the last character.
!The host responds by negating CTS. The controller checks for a negated CTS upon
the next transmission of data.
During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for
more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a
transmission error, and the data is discarded.
If the above communications sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this
case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.

RTS/CTS Option 1
When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level).
However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not
asserted within 2 seconds (default), the scanner issues an error beep and discards the data.
2-104
P 300STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
RTS/CTS Option 2
When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless
of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to 2 seconds (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS
is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error beep and discards the data. The
scanner deasserts RTS when transmission is complete.
RTS/CTS Option 3
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
When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately.

!ACK/NAK
When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an
ACK or NAK response from the host. Whenever a NAK is received, the scanner

Programming the Scanner
transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three
unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an
error beep and discards the data.
The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive
an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error
beep and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.
ACK/NAK
!ENQ
When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host
before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within 2 seconds, the scanner
issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ
character at least every 2 seconds to prevent transmission errors.
ENQ
!ACK/NAK with ENQ
This combines the two previous options.

!XON/XOFF
An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an
XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
2-106
P 300STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
!XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has
data to send, it then waits for an XON character before transmission. The
scanner waits up to 2 seconds to receive the XON. If the XON is not
received within this time, the scanner issues an error beep and discards the

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

Macro PDF Features
This section discusses programmable Macro PDF features fully supported by the P 300PRO
scanner. Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file.
The P 300PRO can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature.
Caution
When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, for each sequence
has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF se-
quences, even if they encode the same data. When scanning Macro PDF se-
quences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption. If you
scan a mixed sequence, you get two long low beeps (Lo Lo) for inconsistent
file ID or inconsistent symbology error.
Before programming these special features, follow the physical setup instructions in Chapter
1, Getting Started. Then program the required generic decode and data transmission
parameters using the bar codes on the following pages. Use the same programming method
for setting Macro PDF features as used for standard features.
Note that all parameter settings are stored in non-volatile memory and so are retained after
powerdown.

Macro PDF Transmit / Decode Mode Symbols
Select only one of the four options below for handling the decoding of Macro PDF.
!Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete: This activates
transmission of all decode data from an entire Macro PDF sequence. Transmission
does not occur until the entire Macro PDF sequence is scanned and decoded. This is
the default option.
If the decode data exceeds the limit of the space available in RAM, there is no
transmission because the entire sequence has not been scanned, and an error occurs.
Use the parameter Flush Macro PDF Buffer to purge the buffer.
!Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order: This causes transmission of data
from each Macro PDF417 symbol as decoded, whether it is in sequential order or
not. Up to 1024 Macro PDF bar codes may be transmitted.
!Scan in Sequence Only / Transmit in Sequence Without Buffering: This causes
transmission of data from each symbol within the Macro PDF sequence as decoded,
provided the Macro PDF symbols are scanned in order. If you do not scan the
symbols in order, an error occurs. Up to 1024 Macro PDF bar codes may be
transmitted.
!Buffer Scans Out of Order / Transmit Scans in Order: When enabled, decode data
from each symbol within the Macro PDF sequence is transmitted when decoded,
provided that the Macro PDF symbols are scanned in order. Decode data from
symbols out of order in the Macro PDF sequence is buffered. If the decode data
exceeds the limit of the space available in RAM, there is no transmission because the
entire sequence has not been scanned, and an error occurs. Use the parameter Flush
Macro PDF Buffer to purge the buffer.

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

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
Introduction
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing, or editing, the data scanned by
the scanner before transmitting the data to your host device. Scanned data can be edited to
suit your particular requirements.
ADF is implemented by scanning a related series of bar codes to create rules to apply to the
scanned data. These bar codes appear later in this chapter.
Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions
In ADF, data is customized through rules. These rules perform specific actions when the data
meets certain criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple actions applied to single or
multiple criteria.
For instance, a data formatting rule could be the following:
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.
In this example, if a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is
transmitted: 00001299<space>. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule
is ignored because the length (10 characters) does not pass the criteria.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
3-2
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
Using ADF Bar Codes
When you program a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before you start
scanning.
To program each data formatting rule:
1. Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 3-11.
2. Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type
(e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g.,
the digits “129”). These options are described in Criteria on page 3-14.
3. Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule
specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described in
Actions on page 3-25.
4. Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 3-11. This places the rule in the
“top” position in the rule buffer.
If you make errors during this process, some special-purpose bar codes may be useful: Erase
Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again, Erase Previously Saved Rule, and
Erase All Rules. See Erase on page 3-12.
Beeper Definitions for ADF on page 3-8 help guide you through the programming steps.

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
ADF Bar Code Menu Example
This section provides an example of how to enter an ADF rule to apply to scanned data.
An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and
destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has
products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar
codes have the following format:
MMMMMPPPPPDD
Where: M = Manufacturer ID
P = Part Number
D = Destination Code
The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID
<CTRL M>, part number <CTRL P>, and destination code <CTRL D>. At this center the
UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code.
The following rules need to be entered:
When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the
manufacturer ID key <CTRL M>, send the next 5 characters, send the part number
key <CTRL P>, send the next 2 characters, send the destination code key <CTRL D>.
When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID
key <CTRL M>.
To enter these rules, follow these steps:

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
Alternate Rule Sets
ADF rules may be grouped into one of five alternate sets that can be turned on and off when
needed. This is useful when you want 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)
This bar code might look like this:
245671243701500
where:
Class = 24
Stock Number = 56712437
Price = 01500
Ordinarily you would send this data as follows:
24 (class key)
56712437 (stock key)
01500 (enter key)
But, when there is a sale, you may want to send only the following:
24 (class key)
56712437 (stock key)
and the cashier keys the price manually.
To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies in the normal situation. This rule may
look like this:
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:
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, a “switching rule” must be programmed. This rule
specifies what type of bar code must be scanned to switch between the rule sets. For example,
3-6
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
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, a rule can be entered as follows:
When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “M”, select rule set number 1.
Another rule could be programmed to switch back.
When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with “N”, turn off rule set number 1.
The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example, the rule
may look like this:
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.
It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code after programming a rule
belonging to an alternate rule set.
In addition to enabling and disabling rule sets within the rules, you can disable them by
scanning the appropriate bar codes in Disable Rule Set on page 3-13.
Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)
The order of programming individual rules is important. The most general rule should be
programmed first.
All programmed rules are stored in a buffer. As they are programmed, they are stored at the
“top” of a rules list. If three rules have been created, the list would be configured as follows:
Third Rule
Second Rule
First Rule
When data is scanned, the rules list is checked from top to bottom to determine if the criteria
matches (and therefore, if the actions should occur). Input is modified into the data format
specified by the first matching set of criteria it finds. Be sure that your most general rule is the
first one programmed.
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.
3-7
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
If a Code 128 bar code of length 12 were scanned, the THIRD rule would be in effect. The
SECOND rule would appear to not function.
Note also that ADF rules are actually created when you use the standard data editing
functions. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also
applies to them. For the P 300, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter
Scan Data Transmission Format.
These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order of their creation is also
important.
Default Rules
Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one
or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first,
then the default rules. Default rules can be disabled by entering the following general rule in
the user programmable buffer:
When receiving scan data, send all data.
Since this rule always applies, ADF will never go into the default rules.

Troubleshooting
Note: If, after performing these checks, the problem is not corrected, contact
your distributor or call the Symbol Support Centers. See Service
Information on page x for contact information.
Table 4-1. Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions
Nothing happens when
you follow the operating
instructions.
No power to the scanner.
Scanner is not programmed for
the correct host.
Scanner is not programmed for
the correct bar code type.
Interface/power cables are
loose.
Bar code symbol is unreadable.
Check the system power. Ensure the
power supply is connected if your
configuration requires a power supply.
Be sure the scanner is programmed for the
terminal in use.
Be sure the scanner is programmed to read
the type of bar code you are scanning.
Check for loose cable connections.
Check the symbol to make sure it is not
defaced. Try scanning test symbols of the
same bar code type.
Symbol is decoded, but
not transmitted to the
host terminal.
Scanner is not programmed for
the correct host type.
Be sure the proper host type is selected.
(See Chapter 2, Programming the
Scanner.)
Scanned data is
incorrectly displayed on
the terminal.
Scanner is programmed to
work with the wrong keyboard
type.
RS-232 host setup is wrong.
Scanner is programmed to
work with the wrong host
type.
Scanner is programmed with
the wrong editing options.
For a keyboard wedge configuration,
ensure the system is programmed for the
correct keyboard type, and the CAPS
LOCK key is off.
Ensure the scanner’s communication
paraneters match the host terminal’s
settings.
Be sure the proper host is selected.
Be sure editing options (e.g., UPC-E to
UPC-A Conversion) are properly
programmed.

Appendix A
Programming Reference
UCC/EAN-128
UCC/EAN-128 is a convention for printing data fields with standard Code 128 bar code
symbols. UCC/EAN-128 symbols are distinguished by a leading FNC 1 character as the first
or second character in the symbol. Other FNC 1 characters are used to delineate fields.
When EAN-128 symbols are read, they are transmitted after special formatting strips off the
leading FNC 1 character and replaces other FNC 1 characters with the ASCII 29 GS control
character.
When AIM symbology identifiers are transmitted, the modifier character indicates the
position of the leading FNC 1 character according to AIM guidelines. For example, ]c1
indicates a UCC/EAN-128 symbol with a leading FNC1 character.
Standard Code 128 bar codes which do not have a leading FNC 1 may still be used but are
not encoded according to the EAN-128 convention. Standard Code 128 and UCC/EAN-128
may be mixed in an application. The P 300FZY and P 300PRO scanner autodiscriminates
between these symbols, and can enable or disable one or both code types via bar code
menus. Table A-1 indicates the behavior of the P 300FZY and P 300PRO in each of the
possible parameter settings.

Non-uniform growth of elements in a printed symbol.
AUTODISCRIMINATION The ability of an interface controller to determine the code
type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made,
the information content can be decoded.
AVERAGE BAR WIDTH
GROWTH
Average deviation of bars from nominal widths over the
entire symbol.
BAD CHECK DIGIT Error message resulting from failure of the check digit to
calculate properly.
BAD DATA CHARACTER Error message caused by failure of one or more data
characters to decode properly.

Glossary-2
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
BAR CODE DENSITY The number of characters represented per unit of
measurement (e.g., characters per inch in one-dimensional
symbologies, characters per square inch in PDF417).
BAR HEIGHT The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar
width.
BAR WIDTH Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the
symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.
BAR WIDTH DEVIATION Increase or decrease in bar width as compared with nominal
bar width.
BAUD RATE A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events
occurring per second. When one bit is the standard "event,"
this is a measure of bits per second (bps). For example, a
baud rate of 50 means transmission of 50 bits of data per
second.
BIDIRECTIONAL READING
CAPABILITY
The ability to decode a symbol successfully by reading in
complementary (opposite) directions across bars and spaces.
BIT Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information.
Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.
The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its
"meaning."
BUFFER An area of memory allocated for data storage. In this
context, a buffer's data storage capacity is needed when data
can flow into the device more quickly than the device can
process that data. Buffering the data preserves it until it can
be processed.
BYTE On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0
and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character
or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0
through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory
can be used to store one ASCII character.
CHARACTER A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents
data or indicates a control function, such as a number, letter,
punctuation mark, or communications control contained in
a message.
Glossary-3
Glossary
CHARACTER SET Those characters available for encodation in a particular bar
code symbology.
CHECK DIGIT A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner
inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and
checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check
digit. Check digits are required for UPC and Code 128 but
are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits
decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is
decoded.
CLUSTER One of three subsets of mututally exclusive codeword
definitions within PDF417.
CODABAR A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting
of start/stop characters (A B C D or * T N E), digits 0 to 9,
and these additional characters: ( - $ : / , +).
CODE Set of unambiguous rules specifying the way in which data
may be represented.
CODEWORD In PDF417, a single group of bars and spaces (4 bars and 4
spaces, for a total of 17 module widths) which represents one
or more numbers, letters, or other symbols.
CODEWORD PD
(CODEWORD PERCENT
DECODE)
Within a PDF417 symbol, the percentage of codewords
which decoded successfully; the number of good codewords
divided by the total number of codewords (data codewords
plus error correction codewords).
CODE LENGTH Number of data characters in a bar code between the start
and stop characters, not including those characters.
CODE 128 A high density symbology which allows the interface
controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding
extra symbol elements.
CODE 3 OF 9 (CODE 39) A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code
symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all
uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9, and 7 special
characters (- . / + % $ and space). The code name is derived
from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are
wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.
Glossary-4
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
CONTINUOUS CODE A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol
are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in
a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater
information density.
COUNTRY FLAG In EAN-8 and EAN-13 codes, two or three digits which
appear immediately following the left guard bar pattern.
DEAD ZONE An area within a scanner's field of view, in which specular
reflection may prevent a successful decode.
DECODE To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and
then analyze the content of the specific bar code scanned. To
translate the bar/space pattern into defined characters within
a defined symbology.
DECODE ALGORITHM A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data
representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar
code symbol.
DEPTH OF FIELD The range between minimum and maximum distances at
which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum
element width.
DISCRETE CODE A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters
(intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code (e.g., Code 39).
DISCRETE 2 OF 5 A binary bar code symbology representing each character by
a group of five bars, two of which are wide. The location of
wide bars in the group determines which character is
encoded; spaces are insignificant. Only numeric characters
(0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.
EAN European Article Number. This European/International
version of the UPC provides its own coding format and
symbology standards. Element dimensions are specified
metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail. Main variants are
EAN-8 and EAN-13.
EDGE ROUGHNESS Edge irregularities as compared with a nominal bar edge.
ELEMENT Generic term for a bar or space.
Glossary-5
Glossary
ENCODED AREA Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code
pattern, including start/stop characters and data.
ERROR CORRECTION In addition to error detection, the recovery capability of
PDF417 over missing, destroyed, or misdecoded codewords.
Error correction capability is based on the level of security (0
- 8) selected when the PDF417 label is printed.
EXTRANEOUS INK Ink in a scan area not intended to be there (i.e., tracking and
splatter).
FIRST READ RATE Percentage of correct readings obtainable by one pass of a
scanning device over a bar code.
FLASH Derived from EEPROM, this is a type of memory that holds
its content without power but must be erased in bulk — or
in a “flash.” Typically, these memory chips are less expensive
and provide higher bit densities.
GUARD BARS The start, stop, and center delimiting bars of UPC and EAN
symbols.
HOST COMPUTER A computer that serves other terminals in a network,
providing such services as computation, database access,
supervisory programs, and network control.
INTERCHARACTER GAP The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a
discrete code.
INTERLEAVED BAR CODE A bar code in which characters are paired together, using
bars to represents the first character and the intervening
spaces to represent the second.
INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in
groups of five bars and five interleaved spaces. Interleaving
provides for greater information density. The location of
wide elements (bar/spaces) within each group determines
which characters are encoded. This continuous code type
uses no intercharacter spaces. Only numeric (0 to 9) and
START/STOP characters may be encoded.
Glossary-6
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
LASER An acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission
of Radiation. The laser is an intense light source. Light from
a laser is all the same frequency, unlike the output of an
incandescent bulb. Laser light is typically coherent and has
a high energy density.
LASER SPOT SIZE The diameter of the spot of laser light scanning the bar code,
as measured at a given distance from the bar code. Smaller
spot sizes yield higher resolution but poorer depth of focus.
LED INDICATOR A semiconductor diode (LED - Light Emitting Diode) used as
an indicator, often in digital displays. The semiconductor
uses applied voltage to produce light of a certain frequency
determined by the semiconductor's particular chemical
composition.
MIL 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch.
MINIMUM REFLECTANCE
DIFFERENCE (MRD)
The difference in percentage between light reflected from
spaces (RS) and light reflected from bars (RB). MRD = %RS
- %RB.
MISREAD (Misdecode) A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader
or interface controller does not agree with the data encoded
within a bar code symbol.
MODULE The narrowest bar or space (unit of measure) in a code. The
term is used by the Uniform Code Council in its description
of UPC/EAN code; it is also used in the description of Code
128. Contiguous modules are used to form bars or spaces
which are wider than one unit.
MODULE ASPECT RATIO The ratio of height to width of the narrowest bar or space, or
unit of measure, in a bar code.
NANOMETRE A unit of measure used to define the wavelength of light.
Equal to 10-9 metre.
NOMINAL The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified parameter.
Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations
from this value.
Glossary-7
Glossary
NOMINAL SIZE Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes
can be used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80
to 2.00 of nominal).
NUMBER SYSTEM
CHARACTER
In the UPC/EAN code used in a retail application, the
mandatory, first encoded character, after the left guard bars.
The corresponding human readable character identifies the
coded character and appears at the bottom left-hand margin
of the symbol. The assigned system number corresponds to
a usage category for the bar coded item.
ONE-DIMENSIONAL
SYMBOLOGY
Symbologies which encode data only in a linear or horizontal
dimension (X-dimension); the symbol’s vertical height (Y-
dimension) is redundant (e.g., UPC/EAN, Code 39).
OPACITY The capacity for material to interfere with transmission of
light.
OVERHEAD The number of characters required for start, stop, and
checking for a given symbol (in PDF417, also left and right
row indicators and error correction codewords). For
example, a one-dimensional symbol requiring start/stop and
two check characters contains four characters of overhead.
Thus, to encode three data characters, seven characters are
required.
PARAMETER A variable that can have different values assigned to it.
PARITY TYPE A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII
coded character. The parity should be set to help detect
transmission errors. The parity should be set to match that
of the receiving device. If even parity is selected, the parity
bit has a value (0 or 1) to ensure that an even number of 1
bits are contained in the coded character. If odd parity is
selected, the parity bit will have a value (0 or 1) to ensure that
an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
If 0 parity is selected, the parity bit always will be set to 0. If
1 parity is selected, the parity bit always will be set to 1.
Glossary-8
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
PDF417 A two-dimensional, or stacked, bar code symbology which
can encode over one kilobyte of data per label and which
represents data in the form of codewords (values 0 - 928).
Each codeword consists of four bars and four spaces, for a
total of 17 module widths; modules vary in width from one
to six element widths. The symbology permits encoding up
to 30 data columns and from 3 to 90 data rows. For ease of
reading while still maintaining high data density, codewords
are encoded in three mutually-exclusive encodation sets, or
clusters, with the same cluster repeating sequentially each
third row.
PERCENT DECODE The average probability that a single scan of a bar code
would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar
code scanning system, that probability should approach near
100%.
PRINT CONTRAST SIGNAL
(PCS)
Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between
the bars and spaces of a symbol. A minimum PCS value is
needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL -
RD) / RL, where RL is the reflectance factor of the
background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.
PROM Acronym for Programmable Read Only Memory. An
integrated circuit which can be programmed through special
processes and accessed at random during normal operation.
Reprogramming is possible, but only through processes such
as ultraviolet light erasing and electrical rewriting of data.
PROTOCOL For a specific signaling type, a set of recognized rules
governing the format and timing of message exchange.
Between data communications devices, this includes an
exchange of predetermined signals arranged for both
establishing connection and for disconnecting.
QUIET ZONE A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the
start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop
character.
REFLECTANCE Amount of light returned from an illuminated surface.
Glossary-9
Glossary
RESOLUTION The narrowest element dimension which can be
distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with
a particular device or method.
ROW INDICATORS To help synchronize a PDF417 symbol’s structure,
codewords which collectively indicate which row a
particular one is, which is the left and right side of that row,
how many rows are in the symbol, what security level is
encoded in the symbol, and how many data columns are in
the rows. Left Row Indicators occur in each row immediately
after the Start pattern; Right Row Indicators occur in each
row immediately before the Stop pattern.
SCAN Search for a symbol to be optically recognized.
SCAN AREA Area intended to contain a symbol.
SCANNER An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and
produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and
spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are:
1. Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar
code.
2. Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light
(more light reflected from spaces).
3. Signal conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector
output into a digitized bar pattern.
SELF-CHECKING CODE A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect
encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol.
SHOW-THROUGH The generally undesirable property of a substrate that
permits underlying markings to be seen.
SPACE The lighter element of a bar code formed by the background
between bars.
SPECULAR REFLECTION The mirror-like reflection of light from a surface, which can
“blind” a scanner.
SPOT SIZE Size of the scanning aperture.
SPOTS The presence of ink in a bar code's spaces or clear areas.
These generally reduce the percent decode.
Glossary-10
P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
START/STOP CHARACTER A pattern of bars and spaces that provides the scanner with
start and stop reading instructions and scanning direction.
The start and stop characters are the first and last encoded
characters of a bar code.
SUBSTRATE A foundation material on which a substance or image is
placed.
SUBSTRATE SCATTERING Optical phenomenon which causes bars to appear larger and
spaces narrower than they are actually printed. It is caused
by the scattering of incident light rays within the medium.
SYMBOL A scannable unit that encodes data within the conventions of
a certain symbology, usually including start/stop characters,
quiet zones, data characters, and check characters.
SYMBOL ASPECT RATIO The ratio of symbol height to symbol width.
SYMBOL HEIGHT The distance between the outside edges of the quiet zones of
the first row and the last row.
SYMBOL LENGTH Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet
zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of
the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
SYMBOLOGY The structural rules and conventions for representing data
within a particular bar code type (e.g. UPC/EAN, Code 39).
SYMMETRIC BAR WIDTH
GROWTH
Uniform growth of bars evenly distributed.
TOLERANCE Allowable deviation from the nominal bar or space width.
TWO-DIMENSIONAL
SYMBOLOGY
Designed for high information density and higher encoding
capability than one-dimensional bar codes, a symbology
which encodes data in both the horizontal (X-dimension)
and vertical dimensions, usually in a “stacked” or multi-row
arrangement.
UPC Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric
symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two
spaces, each of which can be any of four widths. The
standard symbology for retail food packages in the United
States.
Glossary-11

VISIBLE LASER DIODE (VLD) A solid state device which produces visible laser light. Laser
light emitted from the diode has a wavelength of 670 to 680
nanometers.
VOID Absence of ink within printed bars.
X-DIMENSION Width of the narrowest element (bar of space) in a bar code
symbol.
Y-DIMENSION Element height, as applied to a two-dimensional symbology,
which must equal or exceed a required minimum.
ZERO-SUPPRESSED CODE A version of UPC/EAN which reduces the number of
characters in the code. The resulting code combines the
manufacturer's code and the product's code of Version A in
a retail application.
