  • Page 13: Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces

    Enter Setup Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces The RT207 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 engine or to access/alter the configuration information of the engine via the interface. Power-Saving Mode By default, the engine adopts the Power-Saving Mode to conserve power. However, if this mode is selected, you can only use TTL-232 communication. If the Normal Mode is selected, you can use either TTL-232 or USB.

  • Page 14: Ttl-232 Interface

    Enter Setup TTL-232 Interface Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the engine 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 engine is based on TTL-level signals. TTL-232 can be used for most application architectures. For those requiring RS-232, an external conversion circuit is needed. The conversion circuit is available only to some models. ** Serial Communication Default serial communication parameters are listed below. Make sure all parameters match the host requirements.

  • Page 15: Baud Rate

    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...

  • Page 23: Emulate Alt+Keypad

    Enter Setup Emulate ALT+Keypad This feature allows any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) to be sent over the numeric keypad no matter which keyboard type is selected. Since sending a character involves multiple keystroke emulations, this method appears less efficient. The following options are available: Ÿ Disable: No ASCII character is sent in the ALT+Keypad way. Ÿ Mode 1: ASCII characters not supported by the selected keyboard type but falling into 0x20~0xFF are sent in the ALT+Keypad way. Mode 2: ASCII characters falling into 0x20~0xFF are sent in the ALT+Keypad way. Ÿ Mode 3: All ASCII characters (0x00~0xFF) are sent in the ALT+Keypad way. Ÿ Note: In the event of a conflict between Function Key Mapping and Mode 3, Function Key Mapping shall govern. ** Disable Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 Example: Supposing US keyboard is selected, barcode data ”AÐF” (65/208/70) is sent as below: (1) Mode 1 is enabled: “A” -- Keystroke “A”...

  • Page 24: Function Key Mapping

  • Page 25: Emulate Numeric Keypad

    Enter Setup Emulate Numeric Keypad When this feature is disabled, sending barcode data is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard. To enable this feature, scan the Emulate Numeric Keypad barcode. Sending a number (0-9) is emulated as keystroke(s) on numeric keypad, whereas sending other characters like “+”, “_”, “*” , “/” and “.” is still emulated as keystrokes on main keyboard. ** Do Not Emulate Numeric Keypad Emulate Numeric Keypad Code Page In order to support more international characters, the Code Page programming feature is provided. This feature is only effective when ASCII characters are sent in the ALT+Keypad way. Programming a code page requires scanning numeric barcode (For more information, see Appendix 9: Code Pages List). The default code page is Windows 1252 (Latin I). To learn how to program it, see Appendix 5.

  • Page 26: Usb Com Port Emulation

    Enter Setup USB COM Port Emulation If you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, the USB COM Port Emulation feature allows the Host to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is required for this feature. USB COM Port Emulation USB HID-POS Introduction The USB HID-POS interface is recommended for new application programs. It can send up to 56 characters in a single USB report and appears more efficient than keyboard emulation. Features: ² HID based, no custom driver required. ² Way more efficient in communication than keyboard emulation and traditional RS-232 interface. Note: USB HID-POS does not require a custom driver.

  • Page 29: Chapter 3 Scan Mode

    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. Rereading the same barcode is not allowed if it was decoded previously in the same round. For good read, the engine transmits decoded data via communication port. To activate another round of multiple scans, the Host needs to first negate the trigger, waits 20ms or longer and then drive the TRIG pin low. ** Batch Mode ** Exit Setup...

  • Page 30: Trigger Mode

    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. To activate another session, the Host needs to first negate the trigger, waits 20ms or longer and then drive the TRIG pin low. Trigger Mode Decode Session Timeout This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 3,600,000ms. The default setting is 3,000ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 5. Decode Session Timeout ** Exit Setup...

  • Page 31: Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger

    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. ** Level Trigger Pulse Trigger Auto Sleep Auto Sleep allows the engine in the Trigger Mode to automatically enter the sleep or low power mode if no operation or communication is performed for a time period (user programmable). When the engine is in the sleep mode, receiving trigger signal or communication from the Host can awake the engine. The engine returns to full operation within 100ms.

  • Page 117: Chapter 10 Troubleshooting

    Chapter 10 Troubleshooting FAQ Problem: Some barcodes cannot be read. Solution: 1. Find out the barcode type and verify that the barcode type is enabled. If the barcode parameters include check digit verification, select the Disable option. 2. If you do not know the barcode type, enable all symbologies. 3. If they are inverse barcodes (bright images on a dark background), enable the Video Reverse feature. Problem: Incorrect output. Solution: 1. If this problem happens to all barcodes and additional characters appear before/after barcode data, disable all prefix/suffix. 2. If this problem only happens to some barcodes and matches one of the following situations: a) incomplete barcode data: Enable the check digit verification. b) both the first and last characters are asterisks (*): Disable the transmission of start/stop characters of Code 39. c) “a” transmitted as “+A”: Enable Code 39 Full ASCII. Problem: Barcodes can be read, but cannot be displayed. Solution: Verify that the serial port parameter (such as baud rate, data bit and stop bit) settings match the host requirements.
  • Page 118 Problem: Illumination and aiming beams are OFF. Solution: 1. Verify that the engine is properly powered up. 2. Send “?” to the engine. If the engine returns a reply of “!”, then send programming commands to turn on illumination and aimer. Problem: Carriage Return/Line Feed settings. Solution: See the “Terminating Character Suffix” section in Chapter 7.

    l. Program the Length Range (Maximum/Minimum LengthsV for a Symbology Note: 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. Example: Set the engine to decode Code 128 barcodes containing between 8 and 12 characters Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Scan the Set the Minimum Length barcode. (See the “Set Length Range for Code 128” section in Chapter 7) Scan the numeric barcode “8”. Scan the Save barcode. Scan the Set the Maximum Length barcode.

  • Page 141: Appendix 7: Save/Cancel Barcodes

    Appendix 7: 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. For instance, after reading the Maximum Length barcode and numeric barcodes “1”, “2” and “3”, you scan: ² Delete the Last Digit: The last digit “3” will be removed. ² Delete All Digits: All digits “123” will be removed. ² Cancel: The maximum length configuration will be cancelled. And the engine is still in the setup mode. Save Delete the Last Digit Delete All Digits Cancel...
