Page 145: Chapter 7 Ssi Interface
This chapter describes the system requirements of the Simple Serial Interface (SSI), which provides a communications link between Symbol Technologies decoders (e.g., scan engines, slot scanners, hand-held scanners, two-dimensional scanners, hands-free scanners, and RF base stations) and a serial host. It provides the means for the host to control the decoder or scanner.
Page 146 7 - 2 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide All commands sent between the digital scanner and host must use the format described in the SSI Message Formats section. SSI Transactions on page 7-3 describes the required sequence of messages in specific cases.
Page 147: Ssi Transactions
If you enable ACK/NAK handshaking, all packeted messages must have a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK response, unless the command description states otherwise. This parameter is enabled by default. Symbol Technologies recommends leaving this handshaking enabled to provide feedback to the host. Raw decode data and WAKEUP do not use ACK/NAK handshaking since they are not packeted data.
Page 148: Transfer Of Decode Data
7 - 4 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Transfer of Decode Data The Decode Data Packet Format parameter controls how decode data is sent to the host. Set this parameter to send the data in a DECODE_DATA packet. Clear this parameter to transmit the data as raw ASCII data.
Page 149: Communication Summary
ACK/NAK Option Enable or disable ACK/NAK handshaking. This handshaking is enabled by default and Symbol Technologies recommends leaving it enabled. Disabling this handshaking can cause communication problems, as handshaking is the only acknowledgment that a message was received, and if it was received correctly.

Page 152: Encapsulation Of Rsm Commands/Responses Over Ssi
7 - 8 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Encapsulation of RSM Commands/Responses over SSI The SSI protocol allows the host to send a command that is variable in length up to 255 bytes. Although there is a provision in the protocol to multi-packet commands from the host, the scan engine does not support this.
Page 153: Example Transaction
SSI Interface 7 - 9 Example Transaction The following example illustrates how to retrieve diagnostic information (Diagnostic Testing and Reporting (Attribute #10061) decimal) from the engine using encapsulation of RSM commands over SSI. Before sending any RSM command, the host must send the RSM Get Packet Size command to query the packet size supported by the device.

Page 491: Appendix I Signature Capture Code
APPENDIX I SIGNATURE CAPTURE CODE Introduction CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature. There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form.
Page 492: Capcode Pattern Structure
I - 2 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide CapCode Pattern Structure A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces.
Page 493: Dimensions
The decoder output is formatted according to Table I-3. Symbol Technologies decoders allow different user options to output or inhibit bar code type. Selecting "Symbol ID" as the bar code type for output identifies the CapCode with letter "i". Data Format...
Page 494: Additional Capabilities
I - 4 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Additional Capabilities Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up. A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a bar code.

Page 505 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.
Page 506 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 507 COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2. Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Page 508 Glossary - 4 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Flash Disk. An additional megabyte of non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files. Flash Memory. Flash memory is responsible for storing the system firmware and is non-volatile. If the system power is interrupted the data is not be lost.
Page 509 Glossary - 5 I/O Ports. interface The connection between two devices, defined by common physical characteristics, signal characteristics, and signal meanings. Types of interfaces include RS-232 and PCMCIA. IOCTL. Input/Output Control. IP Address. (Internet Protocol address) The address of a computer attached to an IP network. Every client and server station must have a unique IP address.
Page 510 Nominal. The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified parameter. Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations from this value. Nominal Size. Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal).
Page 511 Print Contrast Signal (PCS). Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars and spaces of a symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.
Page 512 Scanner. An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are: 1) Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar code,; 2) Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light (more light reflected from spaces);...
Page 513 Symbol Aspect Ratio. The ratio of symbol height to symbol width. Symbol Height. The distance between the outside edges of the quiet zones of the first row and the last row. Symbol Length. Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
Page 514 Glossary - 10 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide UDP. User Datagram Protocol. A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored, because there is no time to retransmit.
