Obtain Firmware Version: Transmit the firmware version to the Host straight away via the communication interface. Obtain Product Information Obtain Firmware Version Send Product Information at Startup: Transmit the product information to the Host when the engine is powered on.
Enter Setup Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces Introduction The EM2037 engine provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.
Enter Setup Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host requirements. ** Baud Rate 9600 Baud Rate 19200 Baud Rate 1200 Baud Rate 38400 Baud Rate 2400 Baud Rate 57600...
Enter Setup Stop Bit ** 1 Stop Bit 2 Stop Bits Hardware Flow Control If this feature is enabled, the engine determines whether to transmit data based on CTS signal level. When CTS signal is at low level which means the serial port’s cache memory of receiving device (such as PC) is full, the engine will not send data through serial port until CTS signal is set to high level by receiving device.
Enter Setup USB Interface USB-DataPipe A driver is required when using this protocol to communicate with the engine. Its advantages include fast data transmissoin and easy to use. USB-Datapipe USB HID-KBW When you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KBW feature by scanning the barcode below.

This parameter sets the timeout between decodes for same barcode in the Auto Mode. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 3600000ms.
Enter Setup Continuous Mode This mode enables the engine to scan/capture, decode and transmit over and over again. If the Continuous Mode is enabled, the engine activates/suspends/resumes barcode reading through control over the trigger signal. When barcode reading is in progress, terminating the trigger signal after having kept it valid for 30ms or longer will suspend barcode reading;...
Enter Setup Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given period of time. This parameter sets the timeout between decodes for same barcode in the Continuous Mode. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 3600000ms.
Enter Setup Chapter 4 Scanning Preferences Introduction This chapter contains information as to how to adapt your engine to various applications with preference setting. For instance, to improve barcode reading performance off mobile phones and LCD displays; or to narrow the field of view of the engine to make sure it reads only those barcodes intended by the user.
Enter Setup Central Area Decoding The engine attempts to decode barcode(s) within a specified central area and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded. This option allows the engine to narrow its field of view to make sure it reads only those barcodes intended by the user.
Enter Setup Specify Central Area The default central area is a (Width*20%) by (Height*20%) area in the center of the engine’s field of view, as shown in the figure below. You can define the central area by scanning the Specify Central Area barcode and numeric barcode(s) corresponding to a desired percentage (1-100).

Appendix 8: Parameter Programming Examples The following examples show you how to program parameters by scanning programming barcodes. a. Program the Decode Session Timeout Example: Set the decode session timeout to 1500ms Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Scan the Decode Session Timeout barcode. Scan the numeric barcodes “1”, “5”, “0”...
d. Program the Duration of Good Decode Beep (Type 1) Example: Set the duration of good decode beep to 100ms Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Scan the Custom (20~300ms) barcode. Scan the numeric barcodes “1”, “0” and “0”. Scan the Save barcode. Scan the Exit Setup barcode.
g. Program the Custom Prefix/Suffix Example: Set the custom prefix to “CODE” Check the hex values of “CODE” in the ASCII Table. (“CODE”: 43, 4F, 44, 45) Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Scan the Set Custom Prefix barcode. Scan the numeric barcodes “4”, “3”, “4”, “F”, “4”, “4”, “4” and “5”. Scan the Save barcode.
j. Program the Length Range (Maximum/Minimum Lengths) for a Symbology Note: For 1D symbologies, if minimum length is set to be greater than maximum length, the engine only decodes barcodes with either the minimum or maximum length. If you only want to read barcodes with a specific length, set both minimum and maximum lengths to be that desired length.
k. Program the Discrete Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5 Example 1: Set the engine to decode Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes containing either 12 or 24 characters Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Scan the Enable the Discrete Lengths barcode. Scan the Set the Discrete Length barcode.

Appendix 11: Save/Cancel Barcodes After reading numeric barcode(s), you need to scan the Save barcode to save the data. If you scan the wrong digit(s), you can either scan the Cancel barcode and then start the configuration all over again, or scan the Delete the Last Digit barcode and then the correct digit, or scan the Delete All Digits barcode and then the digits you want.
