Imager Activity Modes
The Imager is capable of four modes of activity:
•Busy (Run) Mode – The Imager is scanning or transferring data using Bluetooth.
•Standby Mode – The Imager enters Standby mode (Low Power Mode) when it is idle for more than one
second. The Imager wakes-up and returns to busy (run) mode upon at least one of the following events:
•Scan trigger
•Motion activity
•Bluetooth activity
•Press of the Restore key
•Real time clock (a system inside the Imager)
•Deep Sleep (Critical Off) Mode – The deep sleep mode is only applicable when the Imager is connected
to a mobile computer in cordless mode. When the battery power of the Imager is below 3V, the Imager
turns off and enters Standby mode. To recover from Deep Sleep mode, replace the battery with a charged
battery (See <Italic><bl_blue text> “Remove the Battery” on page20.)
•OFF Mode – The Imager is not connected to power source.

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters
Transmit Code ID Character
Parameter # 2Dh
A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is useful when decoding more than one
code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between
the prefix and the decoded symbol.
Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character. For Code ID Characters,
see <em_Emphasis>Symbol Code Identifiers on page 14-235 and <em_Emphasis>AIM Code Identifiers on page
14-236.
NOTE:If you enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character, and enable Transmit “No Read”
Message on page 88, the Imager appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message.

Prefix/Suffix Values
Key Category Parameter # P = 63h, S1 = 62h, S2 = 64h
Decimal Value Parameter # P = 69h, S1 = 68h, S2 = 6Ah
You can append a prefix and/or one or two suffixes to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix
or suffix, scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes from <em_Emphasis>Appendix , Numeric Bar Codes) that
corresponds to that value.
When using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit
decimal value.
To correct an error or change a selection, scan <em_Emphasis>Cancel on page 16-246.

FN1 Substitution Values
Key Category Parameter # 67h
Decimal Value Parameter # 6Dh
The Wedge and USB HID Keyboard hosts support a FN1 Substitution feature. Enabling this substitutes any FN1
character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter Key).
When using host commands to set the FN1 substitution value, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the
3-digit keystroke value. See the ASCII Character Set table for the current host interface for the desired value.
To select a FN1 substitution value via bar code menus:
1. Scan the bar code below.
2. Locate the keystroke desired for FN1 Substitution in the ASCII Character Set table for the current host
interface. Enter the 4-digit ASCII Value by scanning each digit in <em_Emphasis>Appendix , Numeric Bar
Codes.
To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel.

Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
Before programming, follow the instructions in Getting Started.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the Imager powers down.
Select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected
to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the default bar code (see Set Default Parameter on page 72).
Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without
the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A
Check Digit on page 106. The Imager issues a fast warble beep and the LEDs turn green, signifying a successful
parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes. See the individual
parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
NOTE:When the Imager is connected to a mobile computer, configuration by scanning bar codes is disabled. In
such case, programming the Imager is performed by an application running on the mobile computer.
When the Imager is connected to a mobile computer, the configuration application running on the mobile
computer may override the parameters previously entered by scanning. Once configured, the new parameters
are saved in the Imager memory after disconnecting the Imager or terminating the application.

Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
Symbology Parameter Defaults
Table 10 lists the defaults for all symbology parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:
•Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 72.
•Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers appear in this
chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar
codes. Refer to the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing
parameters using this method.
NOTE:See <em_Emphasis>Appendix , Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, and
miscellaneous default parameters.

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Parameter # 10h
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN
13+2). The following options are available:
•If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the digital scanner is presented with a
UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental
characters.
•If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the digital scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols
with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
•If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the digital scanner decodes UPC/EAN
symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the digital
scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy
on page 105 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
•If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the digital scanner immediately transmits
EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have
a supplemental, the digital scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy on page 105 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no
supplemental. The digital scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.

•No transmission occurs.
Transmit Buffer
There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer.
1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below, which includes only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop
character.
2. The digital scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
•The digital scanner issues a low/high beep.
3. Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space.
•The digital scanner appends new decode data to buffered data.
•The digital scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
•The digital scanner signals that it transmitted the buffer with a low/high beep.
•The digital scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
Overfilling Transmission Buffer
The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read overflows the transmission buffer:
•The digital scanner indicates that it rejected the symbol by issuing three long, high beeps.
•No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.
Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer
If you scan the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty:
•A short low/high/low beep signals that the buffer is empty.
•No transmission occurs.
•The buffer remains empty.
Clear Buffer
NOTE:The Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character. In order to scan this command, set Code 39
lengths to include length 1.
Transmit Buffer
NOTE:The Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character. In order to scan this command, set Code 39

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

Macro PDF Features
Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The scanner can decode
symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 Kb of decoded data stored in up to 50
MacroPDF symbols.
Flush Macro Buffer
This flushes the buffer of all decoded Macro PDF data stored to that point, transmits it to the host device, and
aborts from Macro PDF mode.
Abort Macro PDF Entry
This clears all currently-stored Macro PDF data in the buffer without transmission and aborts from Macro PDF
mode.
CAUTION:When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.
Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When
scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption. If, when
scanning a mixed sequence, the digital scanner emits two long low beeps (Low/Low) this indicates an
inconsistent file ID or inconsistent symbology error.

How to format the scanned data the data
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)
The scanned bar code data can be processed and formatted before the RS507 sends it to an application using
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF).
For information and programming bar codes for ADF, refer to the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide,
p/n 72E-69680-xx (refer only to the programming bar codes that relate to bar code imagers, not Laser bar code
scanners).
NOTE:Notebook computer manufacturers may provide their own brand of a Bluetooth stack with different
connection screens. However, all stacks provide the same functionality.
NOTE:- Since the SPP connection does not support automatic acknowledgement when the data is received by
the computer application, a BELL indication is used.
The BELL indication allows the computer application to send single binary character 0x07 to the RS507 (as
defined in ASCII table). Upon receiving the BELL character, the RS507 beeps. To configure the beep, see BELL
Indication (SPP mode only) on page 218.

A
Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.
API. An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually used
to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function
calls
Application Programming Interface. See API.
ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters,
numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.
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 is decoded.
B
Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.
Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in
machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character,
data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework,
each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.
Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).
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.
BIOS. Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with
standard PC hardware.
Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte
of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.
Boot or Boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run
self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software.
BOOTP. A protocol for remote booting of diskless devices. Assigns an IP address to a machine and may specify a
boot file. The client sends a bootp request as a broadcast to the bootp server port (67) and the bootp server
responds using the bootp client port (68). The bootp server must have a table of all devices, associated MAC
addresses and IP addresses.
bps. See Bits Per Second.
Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a
specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit.
One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.
C
CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product
safety. This agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.
CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsically safe, even
if all laser output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.
CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class
poses no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.
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.
Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.
Check Digit. A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic
formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for
UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors
when a symbol is decoded.
Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters:
( - $ : / , +).
Code 128. A high density symbology which allows the 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.
Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher
coding density than Code 39.

TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork
dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for
communications. TCP provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is
received correctly at the other end. UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is widely
used for real-time voice and video transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides
the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the
address of the destination station, but the address of a destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be
sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet.
Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which is either permanently assigned or
dynamically assigned at startup.
Telnet. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user
at a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.
Terminal Emulation. A “terminal emulation” emulates a character-based mainframe session on a remote
