  • Page 24: Positioning

    TC1100 POSITIONING The TC1100 scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the TC1100 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°. Follow the suggestions for the best orientation: The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 23.

  • Page 112: Ack/Nack From Host Protocol

    TC1100 5.1.2 ACK/NACK from Host Protocol This parameter sets a transmission protocol in which the Host responds to the reader after every code transmitted. The Host sends an ACK character (06 HEX) in the case of good reception or the NACK character (15 HEX) requesting re-transmission, in the case of bad reception.

  • Page 113: Pen Parameters

    REFERENCES PEN PARAMETERS 5.2.1 Minimum Output Pulse This parameter sets the duration of the output pulse corresponding to the narrowest element in the barcode. In this way the code resolution is controlled by the signal sent to the decoder, independently of the physical resolution of the code read. The shortest pulse (200 µs) corresponds to a high resolution code emulation and therefore a shorter transfer speed to the decoder (for decoders able to work on high resolution codes).

  • Page 115: Data Format

    REFERENCES DATA FORMAT 5.3.1 Header/Terminator Selection The header/terminator selection is not effected by the reading of the restore default code. In fact, header and terminator default values depend on the interface selection: RS232: no header, terminator CR-LF WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER These default values are always restored through the reading of RS232 or WEDGE interface selection code, see chapter 3.

    TC1100 5.3.2 Set Custom Extended Header/Terminator Keys The extended Header/Terminator keys for Wedge Interface users can be customized by defining them through a simple keyboard setting procedure. For example, the Numeric Keypad keys can be set for use as Headers or Terminators by substituting the default extended keys using this procedure.

    ON-LINE: the TC1100 reader is connected to an external Presence Sensor using EXT TRIG+ and EXT TRIG- inputs. During the active phase of the presence sensor, the TC1100 tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. If the operation is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface in the format defined by the current configuration.
  • Page 119 In this mode the illuminator is always ON and TC1100 is continuously scanning. The reading phase is enabled when a barcode enters the reading zone of the camera and is terminated after a fixed number of scans without a code.
