Enter Setup Chapter 1 Getting Started About This Guide This guide provides programming instructions for the 2D Reader. Users can configure the 2D Reader by scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual. The 2D reader has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without further configuration.
Enter Setup Barcode Scanning The 2D Reader features fast scanning and accurate decoding. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by the EM30-M over the barcode. Barcode Programming Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the reader to enter the setup mode.
Enter Setup Factory Defaults Scanning the following barcode can restore the 2D Reader to the factory defaults. See Appendix 1: Factory Defaults Table for more information. Note: Use this feature with discretion. Restore All Factory Defaults Custom Defaults Custom defaults make it possible to save the frequently-used settings on the engine. Scanning the Save as Custom Defaults barcode can save the current settings as custom defaults.
Enter Setup Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces The 2D Reader provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface (optional) to communicate with the host device. The host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the reader or to access/alter the configuration information of the reader via the interface.
Enter Setup TTL-232 Interface Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the reader to a host device (like PC, POS). However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device. The serial communication interface provided by the reader is based on TTL-level signals.
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. ** 9600 1200 19200 2400 38400 4800 57600 14400 115200 ** Exit Setup...

Enter Setup Chapter 3 Scan Mode Batch Mode If the Batch Mode is enabled, driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low activates a round of multiple decode sessions. This round of multiple scans continues until the active trigger signal is no longer present.
Enter Setup Trigger Mode If the Trigger Mode is enabled, driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low activates a decode session. The session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires or the active trigger signal is no longer present. For good read, the engine transmits decoded data via communication port.
Enter Setup Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger Level trigger: Decode session is activated and continued by constant active trigger signal. The decode session ends once the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires. Pulse trigger: Decode session is activated by electric pulse of trigger signal. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires.
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. To enable/disable the Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode), scan the appropriate barcode below. Enable Timeout between Decodes: Do not allow the engine to re-read same barcode before the timeout between decodes (same barcode) expires.
Enter Setup Sense Mode If the Sense Mode is enabled, the engine activates a decode session every time it detects a change in ambient illumination. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. Driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low can also activate a decode session.
Enter Setup Continue after Good Read Continue after Good Read: The engine starts next decode session after good read. Pause after Good Read: The engine starts another round of illumination monitoring and image stabilization after good read. ** Pause after Good Read Continue after Good Read Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given...
Enter Setup The following parameter sets the timeout between decodes for same barcode. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 65,535ms. The default setting is 1,500ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 5. Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Sensitivity Sensitivity specifies the degree of acuteness of the engine’s response to changes in ambient illumination.
Page 34
Enter Setup If the above four options fail to meet your needs, you may program the threshold value of illumination change. Illumination changes that reaches or surpasses the predefined threshold value will cause the engine to start a decode session. The lower the threshold value, the greater the sensitivity of the engine. The default threshold value is 2.
Enter Setup Continuous Mode This mode enables the engine to scan/capture, decode and transmit over and over again. When the engine is operating in Continuous Mode, barcode reading can be suspended/resumed through control over the trigger signal. When barcode reading is in progress, negating the trigger signal after having maintained it for 30ms or longer will suspend barcode reading;...
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 narrow the field of view of the engine 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).
Enter Setup Chapter 5 Illumination & Aiming Illumination A couple of illumination options are provided to improve the lighting conditions during every image capture: Normal: Illumination LEDs are turned on during image capture. Always ON: Illumination LEDs keep ON after the engine is powered on. OFF: Illumination LEDs are OFF all the time.
Enter Setup Aiming When scanning/capturing barcode, the engine projects an aiming pattern which allows positioning the target barcode within its field of view and thus makes decoding easier. Normal: The engine projects an aiming pattern only during barcode scanning/capture. Always ON: Aiming pattern is constantly ON after the engine is powered on. OFF: Aiming pattern is OFF all the time.
Enter Setup Chapter 6 Beep & LED Notifications Startup Beep If startup beep is enabled, the engine will beep after being turned on. ** Enable Startup Beep Disable Startup Beep ** Exit Setup...
Enter Setup Good Read Beep for Non-programming Barcode The engine can provide a PWM output to an external driver circuit to drive a beeper after decoding a non-programming barcode. Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of good read beep.
Enter Setup Beep Volume ** Loud Medium Beep on Unknown Character Due to the differences in keyboard layouts, some characters contained in barcode data may be unavailable on the selected keyboard (USB HID-KBW). As a result, the engine fails to transmit the unknown characters.
Enter Setup Good Read Beep for Programming Barcode ** Good Read Beep On for Programming Barcode Good Read Beep Off for Programming Barcode Good Read LED ** Good Read LED ON Good Read LED OFF ** Exit Setup...
Enter Setup Transmit NGR Message Scan the appropriate barcode below to select whether or not to transmit a user-defined NGR (Not Good Read) message when the engine fails to decode a barcode. Transmit NGR Message ** Do Not Transmit NGR Message Edit NGR Message To edit an NGR message, scan the Edit NGR Message barcode and the numeric barcodes that represent the ASCII values (hex) of desired characters and then scan the Save barcode.
Enter Setup Chapter 7 Data Editing In many applications, barcode data needs to be edited and distinguished from one another. Usually AIM ID and Code ID can be used as identifiers, but in some special cases customized prefix and terminating character suffix like Carriage Return or Line Feed can also be the alternatives. Data editing may include: ...
Enter Setup General Settings Enable/Disable All Prefix/Suffix Disable All Prefix/Suffix: Transmit barcode data with no prefix/suffix. Enable All Prefix/Suffix: Allow user to append Code ID prefix, AIM ID prefix, custom prefix/suffix and terminating character to the barcode data before the transmission. Enable All Prefix/Suffix Disable All Prefix/Suffix Prefix Sequences...
Enter Setup Custom Prefix Enable/Disable Custom Prefix If custom prefix is enabled, you are allowed to append to the data a user-defined prefix that cannot exceed 10 characters. Enable Custom Prefix ** Disable Custom Prefix Set Custom Prefix To set a custom prefix, scan the Set Custom Prefix barcode and the numeric barcodes representing the hexadecimal values of a desired prefix and then scan the Save barcode.
Enter Setup AIM ID Prefix AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers) IDs and ISO/IEC 15424 standards define symbology identifiers and data carrier identifiers. (For the details, see the “Appendix 2: AIM ID Table” section). If AIM ID prefix is enabled, the engine will add the symbology identifier before the scanned data after decoding.
Enter Setup Modify Code ID Code ID of each symbology can be programmed separately. See the following example to learn how to program a Code ID. Example: Set the Code ID of PDF417 to “p” Check the hex value of “p” in the ASCII Table. (“p”: 70) Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
