Reading Technique

Center the Aimer

The 8680i has a view finder that projects a bright aiming pattern. This aiming pattern should be centered over the barcode, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

Linear barcodes with aiming pattern

2D Matrix symbol with aiming pattern

The aiming pattern is smaller when the 8680i is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the 8680i at an appropriate distance from the target, press the trigger, and center the aiming pattern on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
Battery and Charge Information
The battery must be fully charged before the first use. An MB4/MB12-BAT-SCN02 or an MB4/MB12-SCN02 Charging Station must be purchased separately.
Replace the Battery
When the battery is low, the 8680i beeps and vibrates and the window shows a Battery Low warning. You can also press both the right and left buttons at any time to view the battery's charge status.
Note: The battery should be replaced in an environment free from excessive dust or particulate to avoid an internal buildup of dust in the unit.

8680i User Guide

To replace the battery, squeeze the battery latch and lift up on the battery.

Replace the battery by snapping it in to the 8680i.
The BAT-SCN02 high capacity lithium ion battery or the BAT-SCN03 standard capacity lithium ion battery can be used. Batteries are not fully charged when shipped. The battery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to ensure optimal performance.
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced. Use only Honeywell lithium ion battery packs, model numbers BAT-SCN02 or BAT-SCN03 in this device. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.
Battery Recommendations
· The battery is a lithium ion cell that can be used without a full charge and can also be charged without fully discharging without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of battery.
· Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the 8680i.
· Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
· If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page ix for additional information.

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu barcodes or by sending serial commands to the 8680i. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Barcode Security settings. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page ix) for further information.
Set Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the Programming Chart, then a Save code, that entire sequence is saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults barcode.

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults
Note: Scanning the Save Defaults barcode also causes both the 8680i and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the 8680i to the host.

8680i User Guide

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults remain, but the beeper volume setting is updated.
Reset Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your 8680i, scan the Activate Custom Defaults barcode below. This is the recommended default barcode for most users. It resets the 8680i to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it resets the 8680i to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults are defaulted to the factory default settings.

8680i User Guide

Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the 8680i automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto Reconnect On barcode is scanned, the 8680i begins the relink process immediately, without user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.

* Auto Reconnect On

Auto Reconnect Off

Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off. The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Auto Reconnect Off The 8680i is relinked by pressing the trigger or relinking to the host.
No attempt to relink made while host is powered off. Trigger must be pressed to initiate relinking.

Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the 8680i tries to form a connection with a host. During the connection setup process, the 8680i transmits in order to search for and connect to a host. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the 8680i does not attempt to reconnect to a host. Pressing the trigger, scanning a host linking barcode, or pairing the 8680i with a host resets the attempt count and the 8680i tries to link again.

8680i User Guide

Scan the Maximum Link Attempts barcode, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.

Maximum Link Attempts
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero causes the 8680i to try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 2-35) expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero causes the 8680i to only attempt linking one time after a trigger press.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link the 8680i to a host typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the 8680i is actually attempting a contact. Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of 8680is that are connected to a host. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out barcode, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.

Relink Time-Out
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the 8680i goes out of range, the 8680i repeatedly attempts to connect to the host. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the 8680i powers off and data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15 Other values at default setting
When the 8680i goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the host. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the 8680i stops trying to connect to the host. After one hour, the 8680i powers off and data is lost.

The 8680i attempts to connect to the host every 15 seconds, measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the 8680i powers off.
Communication Between the 8680i and the Host
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system. The 8680i provides immediate feedback in the form of a "good read" indication on the screen, an audible beep, and a vibration. This indicates only that the barcode has been scanned correctly.
RF (Radio Frequency) Operation
The wireless system uses a two-way Bluetooth radio utilizing adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) to transmit and receive data between the 8680i and the host. Designed for point-to-point and multiple point-to-single-point applications, the radio operates using a license-free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies. This makes the wireless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. The communication range between the 8680i and host, depending on the environment, is 328 feet (100m). See Batch Mode, page 36, for information about controlling this range.
System Conditions
The components of the wireless system interact in specific ways as you move the 8680i out of range, bring the 8680i back in range, or swap 8680is between two hosts. The following information explains the wireless system operating conditions.

8680i User Guide

8680i Is Out of Range
The 8680i is in communication with its host, even when it is not transmitting barcode data. Whenever the 8680i can't communicate with the host for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the 8680i is out of range and you scan a barcode, the scanner issues an error tone indicating that there was no communication with the host. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm, page 34 and Auto Reconnect Mode, page 30.
8680i Is Moved Back Into Range
The 8680i relinks if the 8680i or the host have been reset, or the 8680i comes back into range. If the 8680i relinks, you will hear a single chirp when the relinking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm on page 34 and Auto Reconnect Mode, page 30 for further information.

Unlink a Scanner
If a host has an 8680i linked to it, that 8680i must be unlinked before a new 8680i can be linked. Once the previous 8680i is unlinked, it no longer communicates with the host. To unlink the 8680i from a host, scan the Unlink Scanner barcode below.
Unlink Scanner
Override Locked Scanner
If you need to replace a broken or lost 8680i that is linked to a host, scan the Override Locked Scanner barcode below with a new 8680i and pair that 8680i with the host. The locked link is overridden; the broken or lost 8680i's link with the host is removed, and the new 8680i is linked.
Override Locked Scanner (Single Scanner)
Out-of-Range Alarm
If your 8680i is out range of the host, an alarm sounds from the 8680i. The alarm stops when the 8680i is moved closer to the host, when the host links to another 8680i, or when the alarm duration expires. To set the alarm duration, scan the barcode below and then set the time-out duration (from 0-3000 seconds) by scanning digits, then the Save barcode from the Programming Chart on page 255. Default = 0 sec (no alarm).
Scanner Alarm Duration
Note: If you are out of range when you scan a barcode, you will receive an error tone even if you do not have the alarm set because the data could not be sent to the host.
Alarm Sound Type
Change the alarm type by scanning the following barcode and then scanning a digit (0-7) barcode and the Save barcode on the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255. Default = 0.

Scanner Power Time-Out Timer
When there is no activity within a specified time period, the 8680i enters low power mode. Scan the appropriate power time-out barcode to change the time-out duration (in seconds). Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.

8680i User Guide

If there are no trigger presses during the timer interval, the 8680i goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is pressed, the timer is reset. The 8680i does not go into power down mode when the battery is charging. Default = 3600 seconds.

Note: When the 8680i is in power down mode, press the trigger to power the unit back up. There is a set of power up beeps and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The 8680i is then ready to use.
Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store barcode data when a scanner is out of range of its base or Access Point, or when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.
Automatic Batch Mode stores barcode data when the scanner is out of range of the base or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner's buffer space is full, any barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan barcodes again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the base or Access Point so data can be transmitted.

8680i User Guide

Inventory Batch Mode stores barcode data, whether or not you are in range of the base or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the base or Access Point, either place the scanner in the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 41). When the scanner's buffer space is full, any barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan barcodes again, the data must be transmitted to the base or Access Point. Once the data is transmitted, it is cleared in the scanner.
Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the data is transmitted to the base or Access Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear the scanner's buffer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 41).
Default = Batch Mode Off.

Batch Mode Storage
When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can select whether the data is stored in Flash memory or in RAM.
Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches a power down timeout or if the battery power is very low.
RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has not been transmitted to the base or Access Point, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if the scanner runs out of power, it will power down and the data will be lost.
Default = Flash Storage.

Batch Mode Quantity
When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple barcodes scanned, rather than a single barcode multiple times. For example, if you scan three barcodes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit your data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the Quantity Codes (page 40), you could output your data as "XYZ, 00003" instead. Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the barcode data and the quantity, refer to Data Format beginning on page 91. Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.

Enter Quantities
Quantity Codes (page 40) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned, up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits are shifted from right to left, so if a fifth digit is scanned, the first digit scanned is discarded and the second, third and fourth digits are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit. For example, if the Quantity 5 barcode is scanned after the quantity has been set to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345. Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned. 1. Scan the item's barcode. 2. Scan the quantity 5 barcode. Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned. 1. Scan the item's barcode. 2. Scan the quantity 1 barcode. 3. Scan the quantity 5 barcode. 4. Scan the quantity 0 barcode. 5. Scan the quantity 0 barcode. Example: Change a quantity of 103 to 10. To correct an incorrect quantity, scan the quantity 0 barcode to replace the incorrect digits, then scan the correct quantity barcodes. 1. Scan the quantity 0 barcode to change the quantity to 1030. 2. Scan the quantity 0 barcode to change the quantity to 0300. 3. Scan the quantity 1 barcode to change the quantity to 3001. 4.

Device Name
You may assign a name to each 8680i you are using for identification purposes. For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for an 8680i that is receiving specific commands sent from the host.
The default name is in the format "Honeywell-8680i-SN-############ (12 digit serial number)". If you have more than one 8680i linked to a host and they all have the same name, the first 8680i linked to the host receives commands. When renaming a series of 8680is with identical names, unlink all except one of the 8680is from the host.
Perform the rename operation using either the barcodes on page 43, or by sending the serial command :DeviceName:BT_NAMNewName. where DeviceName is the current name of the 8680i, and NewName is the new name for the 8680i. If you wish to change the names of additional 8680is, link them one at a time and repeat the :DeviceName:BT_NAMNewName. command for each 8680i.

Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming barcode data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
· The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
· RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
· Host ACK must be set to On (page 45).
· A comma must be used as a terminator.
· The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the barcode data, make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape commands to the scanner.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 45. The [ESC] is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y [ESC] x, where "y" is the application work group number, "[ESC] x" is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator, which is required. (When "y" is not specified, the command is sent to the default Application Work Group 0.)
Example: Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An example of a command string is listed below.
[ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,
The above example will make a scanner beep low, then medium, then high.
Example: A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required if the item is not on file. In this case,
[ESC]7, is sent from the host to the scanner for an on-file product
[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent from the host to the scanner for a not-on-file product
When a barcode is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a barcode is scanned:
· The scanner reads the code and sends data to the base or Access Point to transmit to the host system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out when there's a successful read.

8680i User Guide

· Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system or 2) the scanner times out.
· Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, and the process repeats.
A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an error tone. If a time-out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received.

Manual Trigger - Enhanced
Serial Trigger Mode
You can activate the 8680i either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 196). You must be in a serial interface mode in order to use serial triggering. Refer to RS232 Serial Port (page 3-38) or USB Serial (page 3-41) for further information. When in serial mode, the 8680i scans until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The 8680i can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the 8680i's trigger when using serial commands to trigger the 8680i. Once the 8680i has timed out, you can activate the 8680i either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out barcode, set the time-out duration (from 0300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits, then the Save barcode from the Programming Chart on page 255. Default = 30,000 ms.

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the 8680i's field of view to make sure that it reads only those barcodes you intend to read. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering insures that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, page 66, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the 8680i can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser barcode scanners.)
Single Code Centering
Scan Single Code Centering to target the barcode closest to the center of the image. Singling out a barcode in this manner increases scanning accuracy when there are multiple barcodes close together.

Custom Centering Settings

Use the following settings to customize your centering window. If a barcode is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the 8680i. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the 8680i only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window barcodes.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Barcode 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Barcode 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Preferred Symbology
The 8680i can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both barcode symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled. For example, you may be using the 8680i in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.

8680i User Guide

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the 8680i ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 72) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the 8680i reads any barcode in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no barcode in the 8680i's view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.
Scan a barcode below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.

Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the barcodes are scanned. You can define up to 15 barcodes in an output sequence.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you'll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the alphanumeric symbols in the Programming Chart (page 255) to enter these options. You must hold the trigger while reading each barcode in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
An output sequence is created using a string of serial commands that is sent to the scanner. This string is most easily sent to the scanner using the EZConfig software tool (see EZConfig for Scanning Introduction on page 191). You can also accomplish this by scanning alphanumeric barcodes (see the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255).

8680i User Guide

1. If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 80).
2. Code I.D. On the Symbology Charts on page 241, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255.
3. Length Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output is acceptable for this symbology. Make a note of the length. If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 244, find the hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Make a note of the hex value for the character(s). If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, use the Programming Chart (page 255) to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save to save your entries.

Output Sequence Timeouts
You can set a timeout for every code in the output sequence defined by the SEQBLK command. The scanner applies the shortest timeout corresponding to any of the codes that have been read during the current trigger session. When the timeout expires, the scanner sends all codes that it has been read in the order they appear in the sequence defined by SEQBLK.
To specify the timeout, use the SEQTIM command followed by a list of timeouts in milliseconds. Each timeout is specified as a 4-decimal digit terminated by FF. The timeout value 9999 is special and indicates that the timeout for that code is "infinite".

8680i User Guide

The number of timeouts specified should correspond to the number of codes in the sequence defined by SEQBLK. You can specify one additional timeout, which will apply to codes not matching any member of the sequence. This can be useful if Require Output Sequence is On/Not Required. If you do not specify an additional timeout for codes not in the defined sequence, the last timeout specified by SEQTIM will apply.
Output Sequence Timeout Example
For example, if SEQBLK defines a 4-code sequence, you can specify timeouts of 5, 6, 7, and 8 seconds for codes 1-4 respectively using the command SEQTIM5000FF6000FF7000FF8000FF. Codes that are not part of the defined sequence would have an implied timeout of 8 seconds in this case (the final timeout in the list). To explicitly specify a timeout for such codes, you can include one more timeout at the end of the list. For example, to include a timeout of 1 second for non-sequence codes, use the command SEQTIM5000FF6000FF7000FF8000FF1000FF.
Satisfactory Subset of Full Sequence
You can define one or more subsets of barcodes from the complete sequence specified by SEQBLK. When you scan all the codes from one of these subsets, the scanner will transmit all the codes it has read in the sequence. The scanner sends the codes in the order defined by SEQBLK.
Note: To use the satisfactory subset feature, you must supply a timeout for each code in the sequence using SEQTIM.
Satisfactory Subset of Full Sequence Timeout Example
To specify a subset, list its members using the SEQSAT command and terminate each subset with FF. The members of each subset are specified as single hex digits corresponding to their index within the full sequence, 1 being the first. For example, to specify two subsets, the first consisting of the first and second code in the sequence and the second subset consisting of the second and third code, use the command SEQSAT12FF23FF.
To define a subset with an odd number of codes, insert a 0 before the final code index. For example, to define a 3-code subset consisting of the first, second, and third codes, use the command SEQSAT1203FF.
Default Output Sequence
Default Sequence programs the 8680i to all universal values. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the 8680i does not transmit the output data to the host device. When it's On/Not Required, the 8680i attempts to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the 8680i transmits all output data to the host device as is, or formatted according to the partial sequence output format (see Partial Sequence on page 76).
When the output sequence is Off, the barcode data is output to the host as the 8680i decodes it. Default = Off.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

Good Read Tone - Output Sequences
The 8680i may be programmed to either beep or click in response to a good read of each barcode in an output sequence, or to emit a beep or error tone for a partial sequence. Default = Good Read Click - Each Code in Sequence and Error Tone Partial Sequence Output.

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single press of the 8680i's trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the 8680i at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping and vibrating for each read. The 8680i attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pressed. When this programming selection is turned Off, the 8680i only reads the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.
On
* Off
No Read
With No Read turned On, the 8680i notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 191), an "NR" appears when a code cannot be read. When No Read is turned Off, the "NR" does not appear. Default = Off.
On
* Off
If you want a different notation than "NR," for example, "Error," or "Bad Code," you can edit the output message (see Data Format beginning on page 5-91). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the 8680i to read barcodes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted barcodes. Scan Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes to read both types of codes. Default = Video Reverse Off.
Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu barcodes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes in order to read menu barcodes.
Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for decoding only.

CHAPTER
4 DATA EDIT
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This group of barcode data and additional, user-defined data is called a "message string." The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string. Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

Prefix

Scanned Data

1-11

variable length

alpha numeric &

control characters

Suffix
1-11 alpha numeric & control characters

Points to Keep In Mind
· It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix = None.
· A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

8680i User Guide

· You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 244, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
· You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
· Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
· When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.
· The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.

Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 87).

Step 2. Step 3.

Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 241) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is "j" and Hex ID is "6A".
Scan the 2 hex by scanning digits from the Programming Chart on page 255, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0. To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1. To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8. To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character. Step 5. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat the steps above to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

Step 1. Step 2. Step 3.
Step 4.

Scan Add Suffix.
Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255 to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 244.
Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

8680i User Guide

Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Step 2.

Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 241) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Function Code Transmit
By default, all ASCII control characters are transmitted with barcode data. These non-printable characters are translated into predefined key strokes, or CTRL+X functions (see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 244). If these key strokes interfere with your host's software application, scan Disable to keep these ASCII control characters from being transmitted. Default = Enable.
* Enable
Disable
Note: You can also use a custom data format (see Data Format, beginning on page 91) to translate these characters into a more meaningful output.
Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

8680i User Guide

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save barcode from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255.

CHAPTER
5 DATA FORMAT

Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the 8680i's output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a "send" command (see Send Commands on page 94) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the 8680i. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.
If a barcode is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on the barcode data. If there is no other data format, the raw data is output.

Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard emulation.
Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 barcodes that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (page 92), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 barcodes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands. The Data Format must be Required (see page 107) in order for the B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 108), barcode data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as usual. Because the data format needs to be On and Required (page 108) for the B8 command, you must input data formats for all barcodes you wish to discard as well as all barcodes you wish to output. Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 108), the 8680i emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.
Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the barcode data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.
Data Formatter Off
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:
· Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
· Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the 8680i to read fixed length barcode data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters. Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 15 characters. Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save barcodes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 255.

Code 128 Append
This function allows the 8680i to append the data from several Code 128 barcodes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When the 8680i encounters a Code 128 barcode with the append trigger character(s), it buffers Code 128 barcodes until it reads a Code 128 barcode that does not have the append trigger. The data is then transmitted in the order in which the barcodes were read (FIFO). Default = Off.

Code 128 Code Page
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, scan the barcode below, select the code page with which the barcodes were created (see ISO 2022/ISO 646

CHAPTER
7 IMAGING COMMANDS

The8680i is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the 8680i performs these functions.
Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the 8680i on a single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture is complete, the 8680i reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see Chapter 9). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes the new, permanent setting for the 8680i.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers to that command. For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap command, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP), you must follow it with an IMGSHP command if you want to see it on your terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a semicolon. For example, to add the Image Ship command to the above sequence, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 174)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 177)

8680i User Guide

173

The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Note: The images included with each command description are examples only. The results you achieve may be different from those included in this manual. The quality of the output you receive will vary depending on lighting, quality of the initial image/object being captured, and distance of the 8680i from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is recommended that you position your 8680i 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm) away from the object you are capturing.
Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP

Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken whenever the hardware trigger is pressed, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSNP command.
Example: You can use the following command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound once the snap is complete: IMGSNP2G1B

IMGSNP Modifiers

P - Imaging Style
This sets the Image Snap style.
0P Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be taken until the exposure parameters are met. The last frame is then available for further use.
1P Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and results in a visually optimized image.
2P Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be used by an experienced user. It allows you the most freedom to set up the 8680i, and has no auto-exposure.

B - Beeper

Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped. 0B No beep (default) 1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured.

174

8680i User Guide

T - Wait for Trigger
Waits for a hardware trigger press before taking the image. This is only available when using Photo Style (1P).
0T Takes image immediately (default)
1T Waits for a trigger press, then takes the image

L - LED State
Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination (0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards. LED State is not available when using Decoding Style (0P).
0L LEDs off (default)
1L LEDs on

E - Exposure
Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The exposure time determines how long the 8680i takes to record an image. On a bright day, exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to help record an image. At nighttime, exposure time can increase dramatically due to the near absence of light. Units are 127 microseconds. (Default = 7874)
nE Range: 1 - 7874

Example:

Exposure at 7874E with fluorescent lighting:

Exposure at 100E with fluorescent lighting:

8680i User Guide

175

G - Gain

Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified.
1G No gain (default)
2G Medium gain
4G Heavy gain
8G Maximum gain

Example: Gain at 1G:

Gain at 4G:

Gain at 8G:

W - Target White Value
Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For capturing close-up images of high contrast documents, a lower setting, such as 75, is recommended. Higher settings result in longer exposure times and brighter images, but if the setting is too high, the image may be overexposed. Target White Value is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 125)
nW Range: 0 - 255

Example:

White Value at 75W:

White Value at 125W: White Value at 200W:

D - Delta for Acceptance
This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 25)
nD Range: 0 - 255

176

8680i User Guide

U - Update Tries
This sets the maximum number of frames the 8680i should take to reach the D Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 6)
nU Range: 0 - 10

% - Target Set Point Percentage
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances. To alter grayscale values, W Target White Value should be used. (Default = 50)

n% Range: 1 - 99

Example:

Target Set Point

Percentage at 97%: Percentage at 50%: Percentage at 40%:

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP
Image Ship - IMGSHP
An image is taken whenever the trigger is pressed or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory. You can "ship" the image by using the IMGSHP command.
The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSHP command.
Example: You can use the following command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and document image filtering: IMGSNP;IMGSHP8F75K26U

8680i User Guide

177

IMGSHP Modifiers

A - Infinity Filter
Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or 3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with IMGSNP Modifiers (page 174).

0A Infinity filter off (default) 1A Infinity filter on

Example:

Infinity Filter off (0A) from approximately 12 feet (3.66m) away:

nfinity Filter on (1A) from approximately 12 feet (3.66m) away:

C - Compensation
Flattens the image to account for variations in illumination across the image.

0C Compensation disabled (default)

1C Compensation enabled

Example: Compensation at 0C:

Compensation at 1C:

D - Pixel Depth
Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image (KIM or BMP format only).
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image

178

8680i User Guide

E - Edge Sharpen
An edge sharpen filter cleans up the edges of an image, making it look cleaner and sharper. While edge sharpening does make the image look cleaner, it also removes some fine detail from the original image. The strength of the edge sharpen filter can be entered from 1 to 24. Entering a 23E gives the sharpest edges, but also increases noise in the image.

0E Don't sharpen image (default)

14E Apply edge sharpen for typical image

ne Apply edge sharpen using strength n (n = 1-24)

Example: Edge Sharpen at 0E:

Edge Sharpen at 24E:

J - JPEG Image Quality
Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image format is selected. Higher numbers result in higher quality, but larger files. Smaller numbers result in greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, lower quality, but smaller files. (Default = 50)
nJ Image is compressed as much as possible while preserving quality factor of n (n = 0 - 100)
0J worst quality (smallest file)
100J best quality (largest file)

182

8680i User Guide

K - Gamma Correction
Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

0K Gamma correction off (default)

50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image

nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 0-1,000)

Example:

Gamma Correction set to 0K:

Gamma Correction set to 50K:

Gamma Correction set to 255K:

L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping
Ships a window of the image by specifying the left, right, top, and bottom pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered 0 through 1279, and device rows are numbered 0 through 959.
nL The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 843. (Default = 0)
nR The right edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 843. (Default = all columns)
nT The top edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 639. (Default = 0)

8680i User Guide

183

Example:

nB The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 639. (Default = all rows)

Uncropped Image:

Image Crop set to 300R:

Image Crop set to 300L:

Image Crop set to 200B:

Image Crop set to 200T:

Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the image; thus only the center pixels are transmitted.
nM Margin: cut n columns from the left, n + 1 columns from the right, n rows from the top, and n + 1 rows from the bottom of the image. Ship the remaining center pixels. Range: 0 - 238. (Default = 0, or full image)
Example: Image Crop set to 238M:

P - Protocol

Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the image data being sent to the host. It addresses the protocol used to send the data (Hmodem, which is an Xmodem 1K variant that has additional header information), and the format of the image data that is sent.
0P None (raw data)
2P None (default for USB)
3P Hmodem compressed (default for RS232)
4P Hmodem

S - Pixel Ship
Pixel Ship sizes an image in proportion to its original size. It decimates the image by shipping only certain, regularly spaced pixels.
Example: 4S would transmit every fourth pixel from every fourth line.

184

8680i User Guide

The smaller number of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point the image becomes unusable.

1S ship every pixel (default)

2S ship every 2nd pixel, both horizontally and vertically

3S ship every 3rd pixel, both horizontally and vertically

Example: Pixel Ship set to 1S:

Pixel Ship set to 2S:

Pixel Ship set to 3S:

Pixel Ship set to 4S:

U - Document Image Filter
Allows you to input parameters to sharpen the edges and smooth the area between the edges of text in an image. This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E - Edge Sharpen command (see page 186). This filter also works well when shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U.

0U Document image filter off (default)

26U Apply document image filter for typical document image

nU Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use lower numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a similar effect to setting E - Edge Sharpen (page 179) to 22e. Range: 0-255.

Example:

Document Image Filter set to 0U: Document Image Filter set to 26U:

V - Blur Image
Smooths transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image.

0V Don't blur (default)

1V Blur

Example:

Blur Image Off (0V):

Blur Image On (1V):

W - Histogram Ship
A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A lowkey image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram for an image.

0W Don't ship histogram (default)

1W Ship histogram

RF Default Imaging Device
The 8680i supports imaging command processing (IMGSHP, IMGSNP) so that EZConfig for Scanning (see page 191) and other applications are able to perform imaging functions as if they were communicating directly with the 8680i. To accomplish this, the 8680i uses a menu command called RF_DID (RF Default Imaging Device). RF_DID is the name of the 8680i (BT_NAM) that is to receive imaging commands. The default for RF_DID is "*"indicating that imaging commands are to be sent to all associated 8680i. Change this setting to RF_DIDdevice_name to ensure that they are sent to a particular 8680i. Refer to Scanner Report on page 33 to generate a report containing the port, 8680i name, and address for each 8680i. Refer to Device Name on page 42 set a unique name for each 8680i.

CHAPTER
9 SERIAL PROGRAMMING COMMANDS

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming barcodes. Both the serial commands and the programming barcodes program the 8680i. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode in this manual.
The following commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.

Conventions

The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:

parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.

[option]

An optional part of a command.

{Data}

Alternatives in a command.

bold

Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.

Menu Command Syntax

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only): Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] [...] Storage

Prefix

Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).

Tag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu

command group.

SubTag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command within the tag group.

Data

The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.

8680i User Guide

193

Storage

A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command's operation on the device's volatile menu configuration table. A period (.) performs the command's operation on the device's non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.

Query Commands

Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.

What is the default value for the setting(s).

What is the device's current value for the setting(s).

What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device's

response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A

pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)

Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used because they are ignored by the device.

SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.

Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.

Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).

194

8680i User Guide

Responses

The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:

ACK

Indicates a good command which has been processed.

ENQ

Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

NAK

Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.

When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

Examples of Query Commands

In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response.

Example: What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter:

cbrena*.

Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]

This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of values from 0 to 1 (off and on).

Example: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter:

cbrena^.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]

This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is 1, or on.

Example: What is the device's current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter:

cbrena?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]

8680i User Guide

195

Response:

CBRENA1[ACK], SSX0[ACK], CK20[ACK], CCT1[ACK], MIN2[ACK], MAX60[ACK], DFT[ACK].

This response indicates that the device's Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on; the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don't Transmit; the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required; concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled; the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters; the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters; and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

Trigger Commands

You can activate and deactivate the 8680i with serial trigger commands. First, the 8680i must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger Mode barcode (page 62), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering (page 63). Once the 8680i is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:

Activate:

SYN T CR

Deactivate: SYN U CR

The 8680i scans until a barcode has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see "Read Time-Out" on page 363 for a description, and the serial command on page 202).

Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your 8680i, scan the Activate Custom Defaults barcode below. This resets the 8680i to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it resets the 8680i to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults are defaulted to the factory default settings.

Activate Custom Defaults
Note: This barcode also causes both the 8680i and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked.

CHAPTER
12 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Repairs

Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer Support on page ix).

Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable operation:
Clean the Scanner
The scanner housing may be cleaned with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent-water solution.) If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only.
Caution: Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner's housing is not watertight. Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner's window or display. Abrasive wipes may scratch the window or display. Never use solvents (e.g., acetone) on the housing, window, or display. Solvents may damage the finish, window, or display.
Clean the Window or Display
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner's window or display is not clean. If the window or display is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn't operating well, clean it with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent-water solution.) If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only.

237

Replace the Finger Strap
Replace the finger strap when it becomes old or worn.
1. Open the length of the old finger strap so it is only attached to one side of the device. Slide the silver spring bar to detach the finger strap from the device.

2. Slide and hold the silver spring bar on the new finger strap and slide it into place.
3. Release the spring bar.
Troubleshooting
Note: Make sure your battery is charged. Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols? If the scanner isn't reading symbols well, check that the symbols: · Aren't smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids. · Aren't coated with frost or water droplets on the surface. · Are enabled in the host to which the scanner connects. Is the barcode displayed but not entered into the application? The barcode is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example). · You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to output the barcode data plus the key you need (such as "CR") to enter the data

238

8680i User Guide

into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 85 for further information.
The scanner won't read your barcode at all.
· Scan the sample barcodes from Sample Symbols, beginning on page 253. If the scanner reads the sample barcodes, check that your barcode is readable.
· Verify that your barcode symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).
· If the scanner still can't read the sample barcodes, scan All Symbologies on page 112.

ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with which the barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear properly.
