This technical manual is an extension of the SCANTEAM 2380 Programming Menu.

  • Page 11: Chapter 1 Introduction To The Scanteam 2380 Scanner

    The SCANTEAM 2380 is designed to read and decode any of nine (9) popular bar code symbologies and output the bar code data to the keyboard port in the same format the keyboard does.
  • Page 12 Decoding capability is achieved through the use of an internal microprocessor. All SCANTEAM 2380 units are referred to as contact scanners since the tip of the wand must be in or near contact with the bar code label in order to read.

  • Page 13: Software Description

    1.3 Software Description The standard SCANTEAM 2380 is configured for specific user applications by scanning bar code symbols from the printed programming menu which is supplied with the unit. System software will support the keyboard model normally supplied with the host device, and is capable of emulating keyboard “function keys.”...

  • Page 14: Wand Models

    The 2380/J and 2380/K are “SRD” scanners, meaning they have a visible red LED illumination source. These units feature a durable body and a replaceable tip. The 2380 has a Welch Allyn logo on the scanner housing. Either of the models may be ordered with high, medium or low resolution...

  • Page 16: Scanner Identification Label

    2.3 Scanner Identification Label The scanner identification label is located on the scanner’s cable. The identification corresponds to the configuration work sheet description. (Welch Allyn p/n 16206714) 2.4 Operating Theory The reading ability of the wand scanner is based on the detection of reflected illumination from the bars and spaces which form a bar code symbol.
  • Page 17 Small aperture systems (high resolution) are better able to resolve which makes them compatible with high density good quality symbol reading requirements. The SCANTEAM 2380 is available with circular apertures ranging from 6 to 8 mil. Most scanning applications can be satisfied with a 6 mil (high resolution) or a 8 mil (low resolution) aperture.

  • Page 18: Depth Of Field

    Depth of field is the maximum perpendicular distance from the scanner tip to the bar code symbol surface at which the scanner is capable of operating effectively. In general, most of the SCANTEAM 2380 scanners have a depth of field of 0.065 inches (1.65mm) with a symbol appropriate for the scanner.

  • Page 19: Print Contrast

    2.5.6 Print Contrast Print contrast is a measure of the relative difference in brightness between the bars and spaces of a symbol and is specified as the Minimum Reflectivity Difference (MRD). The MRD is the difference between the lowest minimum space reflectance value and the highest maximum bar reflectance value as measured across the entire symbol.

  • Page 25: Chapter 4 Programming The Scanner

    PROGRAMMING THE SCANNER 4.1 Introduction Before the SCANTEAM 2380 can be placed in operation, it must be configured to the particular application by scanning bar code symbols from the Programming Menu. As program sequences are decoded by the 2380, both the desired operating parameters and data format instructions are stored in nonvolatile memory on the decoder pc board.
  • Page 26 The symbols used to program the scanner are printed on the Bar Code Chart. OUTPUT PARAMETERS & FORMAT SELECTION SCANTEAM 2380 Programming Menu USE THIS PAGE To select the pre–programmed asterisked (*) values by scanning DEFAULT symbol. To add preambles and/or postambles to the bar code.
  • Page 27 The general elements found on each menu page include: (1) A “USE THIS PAGE” statement that indicates the programming options (capabilities) which appear on that menu page. (2) The SELECTIONS/VARIABLES table which lists primary programming selections, variables which can be used to modify the basic selection and the bar code scanning sequence that must be used to configure the scanner to these values.

  • Page 28: Facing Page

    4.2.3 The Bar Code Chart The SCANTEAM 2380 Bar Code Chart shown in Figure 4.2 is an integral part of the Programming Menu. It contains the printed bar code symbols which are scanned to program the desired selections.
  • Page 29 Note that the chart contains symbol groupings that include ROMAN NUMERALS, LETTERS and NUMBERS. The sequence in which these symbols are scanned generates the programming instructions which enable or disable specific decoder functions. The right hand column of the Chart contains three (3) bar code symbols labeled DEFAULT, ESCAPE and EXIT.

  • Page 30: Direct Connect Terminal Selection Menu Page

    § Note: The symbol “ ” placed next to a programmable feature indicates that this feature is not supported in all wand models/software revisions. 4.3 DIRECT CONNECT TERMINAL SELECTION Menu Page This menu page is used to make a direct connect terminal selection An explanation of programmable selections follows.
  • Page 31 Preamble characters may include Code ID and the ASCII characters (00–7F). These characters will be transmitted in the order in which the selections are programmed. Both preamble and postamble menuing must always start with a clean slate. Therefore, to clear all preambles, it is necessary only to complete the programming sequence SCAN ENTER, SCAN I, SCAN EXIT.
  • Page 32 Function TX (Transmit) When this menu selection is enabled, and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the SCANTEAM 2380 transmits the key code to the terminal which corresponds to the decoded ASCII function code. ASCII function codes are represented by the HEX values (00–1F).
  • Page 33 CASE 1 – Function Codes “Enabled” With the Function Code Transmit selection enabled, the SCANTEAM 2380 outputs 1234HT5678 to the terminal as: 1 2 3 4 “TAB ”5 6 7 8 ENTER preamble postamble Notice that Keyboard Function Code, HT, has been translated and sent as the TAB key.
  • Page 34 Scanner Data In this example the SCANTEAM 2380 is connected to an IBM PC, and the function key F10 is to be emulated using a Keyboard Function Record entered through the Scanner. The symbology Full ASCII Code 3 of 9 has been enabled.
  • Page 35 SHIFT LOCK When you are operating in SHIFT LOCK mode, the 2380 should also be programmed for SHIFT LOCK mode (i.e., SHIFT LOCK enabled). Intercharacter Delay Intercharacter Delay is the time delay between data characters output by the 2380. The delay is in (X5) milliseconds and can be set to any value between 00 and 99 (X5ms).

  • Page 36: Comm 1 Menu Page

    An explanation of programmable selections follows. International Keyboards§ The SCANTEAM 2380 re–maps the keyboard layout appropriately for the selected international keyboard. International Keyboards are listed in the table below and appear on the COMM 1 page of the Programming Menu.

  • Page 37: Scancode Selection Menu Page

    This selection only applies to customers using AT, XT, or PS/2’s. If this selection is enabled (YES), the 2380 will use the same scancodes as the Welch Allyn SCANTEAM 2300 (K2). If this selection is disabled, the 2380 will use the scancodes found in Appendix C. All other terminals use K2 scancode tables which also appear in Appendix C.

  • Page 38: Symbology Selection Menu Page

    RX Interrupt§ Occasionally, keyboard activity will cause the wand to beep intermittently or turn off. This menu selection will prevent this from happening. 4.8 SYMBOLOGY SELECTION (CODES) Menu Page This Menu Page is used to program decoding selections. The 2380 can be configured to recognize and decode up to nine (9) popular bar code symbologies by scanning the proper code enabling (Selection) symbols on this Programming Menu page.
