• The digital scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the digital scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the digital scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards any scanned data.

• Beep On Successful Transmit: The digital scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the digital scanner, so the digital scanner and the attached decoder beep at the same time. • Beep At Decode Time: The digital scanner beeps upon decode. This results in a double beep sequence from most decoders, since the digital scanner beeps, and the decoder beeps (at a different frequency) when it successfully decodes the output.
Page 168: Parameter Pass-Through
In this way, customers using Symbol compliant decoders can control the behavior of the entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. For example, to enable D 2 of 5, scan the D 2 of 5 Enable parameter bar code. The digital scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter.
Page 169: Convert Newer Code Types
Convert Newer Code Types The digital scanner supports a variety of code types that are not decodable by attached decoder systems. To allow compatibility in these environments, the digital scanner converts these code types to more commonly decodable symbologies, as per the following chart. Symbologies not listed on this chart transmit normally.

By default, a space replaces any characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set. Enable this parameter to encode data sent to the Scanner Emulation host in Code 39 Full ASCII. The host must be able to interpret Code 39 Full ASCII data.
Page 171: Transmission Timeout
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 9 Transmission Timeout The Scanner Emulation host transmits bar code data to the attached decoder and waits for the decoder to assert the Decode signal, indicating successful transmission. If, after a specified amount of time, the Decode signal is not asserted (indicating that the attached decoder did not successfully receive the bar code data), the digital scanner issues transmit error beeps.

Unknown characters are characters the decoder does not recognize. Select Ignore Unknown Characters to send all bar code data except for unknown characters. The digital scanner issues no error beeps. Select Convert Error on Unknown Characters to prevent sending bar codes containing at least one unknown character to the decoder.
Page 173: Check For Decode Led
Check For Decode LED The attached decoder normally asserts the Decode line to signal to the Scanner Emulation host to indicate that it successfully decoded the transmitted bar code. Some decoders, however, do not assert the Decode signal. In this case, the digital scanner emits transmit error beeps to indicate that the bar code did not successfully transmit.

Page 439 Glossary 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.
Page 440 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.
Page 441 Decryption. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key. Depth of Field. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum element width.
Page 442 IEC (825) Class 1. This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 120 seconds of laser operation within any 1000 second window and an automatic laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails.
Page 443 Laser Diode. A gallium-arsenide semiconductor type of laser connected to a power source to generate a laser beam. This laser type is a compact source of coherent light. Laser Scanner. A type of bar code reader that uses a beam of laser light. LCD. See Liquid Crystal Display.
Page 444 Glossary - 6 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide MIL. 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch. 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.
Page 445 RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars. Programming Mode. The state in which a scanner is configured for parameter values. See Scanning Mode. Quiet Zone. A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character.
Page 446 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,;...
Page 447 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, PDF417, etc.).
Page 448 Glossary - 10 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide UPC. Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of which is any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States.
