    Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. LASER SAFETY The LYNX™ hand-held reader is equipped with the following type of laser component: • Aiming system LED Illuminator The LYNX™...

  • Page 13: Aiming System

    Aiming System The Lynx aiming system meets the requirements for laser safety. CAUTION - LASER LIGHT WHEN OPEN AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM LASER LIGHT - DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT MAX. OUTPUT RADIATION 0.25 mW - EMITTED WAVE LENGTH 640-660 nm...
  • Page 14 The product utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
  • Page 15 Der Produkt benutzt eine Laserdiode. Obwohl zur Zeit keine Augenschäden von kurzen Einstrahlungen bekannt sind, sollten Sie es vermeiden für längere Zeit in den Laserstrahl zu schauen, genauso wenig wie in starke Lichtquellen (z.B. die Sonne). Vermeiden Sie es, den Laserstrahl weder gegen die Augen eines Beobachters, noch gegen reflektierende Oberflächen zu richten.

  • Page 16: Power Supply

    The LYNX™ Hand-Held Reader is not user-serviceable. Opening the case of the unit can cause internal damage and will void the warranty. CAUTION POWER SUPPLY This device is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked "Class 2"...

  • Page 17: Getting Started

    GETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED DESCRIPTION The LYNX™ Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an attractive, rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as well as the front office. Omnidirectional To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the reader and pull the trigger.

  • Page 18: System Connections

    To install your reader to your host system, follow these instructions (see Figure 1 below). Insert the cable into the bottom of the handle of the LYNX™ reader. Connect the RS232 interface cable to the proper port on the host terminal.

  • Page 19: Wedge

    To install your reader to your host system, follow these instructions (see Figure 2 below). Insert the cable into the bottom of the handle of the LYNX™ reader; Connect the cable to the power cord; Connect the AC/DC power adapter at the wall outlet;...

  • Page 20: Usb Connection

    LYNX™ USB CONNECTION The LYNX™ Reader requires the USB interface cable and the AC/DC power adapter to be connected. To install your reader to your host system, follow these instructions (see Figure 3 below). Insert the cable into the bottom of the handle of the LYNX™ reader.

  • Page 21: Operating The Reader

    OPERATING THE READER 1.7.1 Aiming System The LYNX™ reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on cameras. The aiming system creates a field of view where the code is to be positioned: Figure 4 - Aiming System When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read.

  • Page 22: Operating Mode

    LYNX™ The field of view created by the aiming system will be smaller when the Lynx™ 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.

  • Page 23: Autoscanning

    Lynx™ provides an autoscan command (see par. 2.11), which when enabled, causes the reader to scan continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading area. In this way, Lynx™ is ready to capture any image (containing a potential code) positioned on a uniform background.

  • Page 24: Defining The Format

    Lynx™ focus distance is used. The Lynx™ focus distance is 115 mm for Lynx™ D302 / Lynx™ D402 and 55 mm for Lynx™ D302 E. Refer to the VisualSetup software program for performing the aiming system calibration.

    One code per scan • If the code resulting from the single decoding of an image belongs to one of the code families to be concatenated, it is saved to the Lynx™ memory waiting for other codes to complete the concatenation. •...

  • Page 26: Indicators

    (Figure A,2) 1.9.2 Beeper The Lynx™ basic software provides beeper signals for good/wrong reading or successful/unsuccessful software upgrade. Its tone, volume and duration can be directly configured by using the codes given in par. 2.11. The application program can also manage the beeper (User Defined Beeper) when the reader is controlled by a Host PC.

  • Page 27: Configuration Using Barcode Symbols

    CONFIGURATION USING BARCODE SYMBOLS This section describes the programming method of using configuration barcode symbols to program your reader. By using the LYNX™ reader to read/decode these special configuration symbols, you can configure, and obtain information from its system software.

  • Page 40: Alphanumeric Keys

    WEDGE Alphanumeric Keys The reader can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types and nationalities through a simple keyboard setting procedure The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting command. Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the reader how to send data corresponding to the keyboard used in the application.
  • Page 41 WEDGE Some ASCII characters may be missing as this depends on the type of keyboard: these are generally particular characters relative to the various national symbologies. In this case: • The first 4 characters (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) can only be substituted with keys not used, or substituted with each other.

  • Page 42: Extended Keys

    WEDGE Extended Keys The header/terminator selection is not effected by the reading of the restore default code. In fact, header and terminator default values depend on the interface selection: RS232: no header, terminator CR-LF WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER These default values are always restored through the reading of RS232 or WEDGE interface selection code.
  • Page 43 WEDGE The extended Header/Terminator keys for Wedge Interface users can be customized by defining them through a simple keyboard setting procedure. For example, the Numeric Keypad keys can be set for use as Headers or Terminators by substituting the default extended keys during this procedure. The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting command.
  • Page 44 WEDGE • If the first 4 KEYS (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) are not available on your keyboard, you can only substitute them with keys not used, or substitute them with each other. • Keys 5 to 28 must be defined. The reader signals the end of the procedure with 2 beeps indicating the keys have been registered.
  • Page 45 WEDGE Acoustic Signals Four types of acoustic signals are associated to the following procedures: Enter keyboard setup Exit keyboard setup SHIFT, ALT, CTRL, BACKSPACE keys Keyboard keys (SHIFT, ALT, CTRL, BACKSPACE excluded) These signals facilitate the selection of those characters requiring more than one key pressed simultaneously.

If "pos_end" is longer than the "source_string" length, no error will be generated since the exceeding characters are ignored.
  • Page 120 LYNX™ StringDiscard This function has the following syntax: string1 - string2 string This function discards all the strings having the same value as "string2" which can be found in "string1". If no "string2" is found within "string1", the result returns "string1".
