Chapter 4 Serial Interface Introduction This chapter describes how to set up the decoder with a serial host. The serial interface is used to connect the decoder to point-of sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available serial port (e.g. com port). Note: The decoder uses TTL signal levels, which interface with most system architectures.
SERIAL PARAMETER DEFAULTS The table below lists the defaults for serial host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Serial Host Parameters section. Note: See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
SERIAL HOST TYPES To select a serial host interface, scan one of the following bar codes. Enable Serial Host (Standard RS232) *Scanning Enable Serial Host (No Variant) activates the serial driver, but does not change port settings (e.g., parity, data bits, handshaking). Selecting another serial host type bar code changes these settings.
BAUD RATE Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the decoder's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.
PARITY A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
STOP BIT SELECT The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate.
CHECK RECEIVE ERRORS Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above. < Check For Received Errors > Do Not Check For Received Errors...
HARDWARE HANDSHAKING The data interface consists of a serial 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 23
decoder issues an error indication and discards the data. RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the decoder asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The decoder waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted.
SOFTWARE HANDSHAKING This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options. If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence. None: When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately.
Page 25
< None > ACK/NAK ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF...
HOST SERIAL RESPONSE TIME-OUT This parameter specifies how long the decoder waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option.
RTS LINE STATE This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state. < Host : Low RTS > Host: High RTS BEEP ON <BEL> When this parameter is enabled, the decoder issues a beep when a <BEL>...

SECURITY LEVEL The decoder offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN, and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.
INTERCHARACTER GAP SIZE The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the decoder from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.
MACRO PDF FEATURES Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The decoder can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 Macro PDF symbols.

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters TRANSMIT CODE ID CHARACTER A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is useful when the decoder is decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
PREFIX/SUFFIX VALUES A prefix and/or one or two suffixes can be appended to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a prefix or suffix bar code below, then scan a four-digit number (i.e., four barcodes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value.
SCAN DATA TRANSMISSION FORMAT To change the scan data format, scan one of the following eight bar codes corresponding to the desired format. If using this parameter do not use ADF rules to set the prefix/suffix. To set values for the prefix and/or suffix, see Prefix/Suffix Values. <...
<PREFIX> <DATA> <SUFFIX 1> <SUFFIX 2> FN1 SUBSTITUTION VALUES The Wedge and USB HID Keyboard hosts support a FN1 Substitution feature. When enabled any FN1 character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code is substituted with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter Key). When using host commands to set the FN1 substitution value, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit keystroke value.
