MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Scanning Patterns The MiniScan generates different scanning patterns based on the software command received at the interface. The patterns are Smart Raster and Single Scan Line (standard and high density). The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF symbols. Smart Raster Scan Pattern (MS-220X only) The MS-220X can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature.
Introduction Single Scan Line Standard Single Scan Line (MS-120X versions) The MS-120X scanner emits a single scan line to quickly decode quality 1D bar codes. Figure 1-4. Single Scan Line Scan Pattern High Density Single Scan Line (MS-220X versions) The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

This chapter provides information on scanning and the various triggering options. Scanning Tips When scanning, make sure the symbol to be scanned is within the scanning range. See Calculating The Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-14. Align the bar code with the scan beam.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Position at an Angle Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode. Triggering Options Continuous (Default) The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active.
Scanning Pulse Trigger The laser is enabled and decode processing begins when the trigger line is activated. Decode processing continues regardless of the trigger line until a good decode occurs, or until the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing is complete. The next decode attempt will not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.
Chapter 8 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Overview The chapter provides information on maintenance and troubleshooting. Maintenance Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window. Clean the scan window with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a non-ammonia based detergent.

MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available.
Page 257
RS-232 Interface None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 259
RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 260
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send.
RS-232 Interface Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when an ACK/NAK Software Handshaking mode or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking is enabled. Minimum: 2 Sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec...

Chapter 12 123Scan (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Introduction ® 123Scan is a Windows -based utility for the MS-1207 and MS-2207 only, that enables programming these scanners with all parameters, including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to ensure compatibility between this data and the host application, so there is no need to modify the host software.
MiniScan Family of Scanners Integration Guide 123Scan Parameter To communicate with the 123Scan program, install 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto the PC and scan the bar code below. Refer to 123Scan instructions for programming the scanner. Note: Scanning this bar code enables the 123Scan interface on the scanner.
Chapter 13 Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to a host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 13-8, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 12) which allows the MiniScan...
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length criteria is not met. The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs. Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct.
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules for scan data. An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes applied by the manufacturer.

Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily you would send this data as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, you may want to send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) and the cashier keys the price manually.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example: When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1. It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 13-11 after...
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software can have one or more default rules. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable default rules, enter the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with Send Pause on page 13-28 inserts a pause in the data transmission.
