Chapter 4 RS-232 Interface Introduction When the scanner is connected to the RS-232 port of a host device, scan the RS-232 barcode below to enable it. Moreover, you need to set its communication parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.
Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the host requirements. @232BAD3 @232BAD5 ** 9600 19200 @232BAD0 @232BAD6 1200 38400 @232BAD1 @232BAD7 2400 57600 @232BAD2 @232BAD8 4800 115200 @232BAD4 14400...
Parity Check Set the parity type to match the host requirements. Odd Parity: If the data contains an odd number of 1 bits, the parity bit value is set to 0. Even Parity: If the data contains an even number of 1 bits, the parity bit value is set to 0. ...
Stop Bit 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. Set the number of stop bits to match the host requirements.
Chapter 5 USB Interface Introduction There are three options for USB connection. USB Keyboard: The scanner’s transmission is simulated as USB keyboard input with no need for command configuration or a driver. Barcode data could be entered by the virtual keyboard directly and it is also convenient for the host device to receive data.
USB Country Keyboard Types Keyboard layouts vary from country to country. The default setting is U.S. keyboard. @KBWCTY0 @KBWCTY1 ** U.S. (English) Belgium @KBWCTY2 @KBWCTY3 Brazil Canada (French) @KBWCTY4 @KBWCTY5 Czechoslovakia Denmark @KBWCTY6 @KBWCTY7 Finland (Swedish) France...

As a result, the scanner fails to transmit the unknown characters. Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of beep when an unknown character is detected. @KBWBUC0 @KBWBUC1 ** Do Not Beep on Unknown Character...
Emulate ALT+Keypad When Emulate ALT+Keypad is turned on, any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) is sent over the numeric keypad no matter which keyboard type is selected. ALT Make Enter the number corresponding to a desired character on the keypad. ALT Break After Emulate ALT+Keypad ON is selected, you need to choose the code page with which the barcodes were created and to turn Unicode Encoding On or Off depending on the encoding used by the application software.
Code Page Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting.
Unicode Encoding Different host program may use different character encodings for handling incoming barcode data. For instance, Microsoft Office Word uses Unicode encoding and therefore you should turn Unicode Encoding on, whereas Microsoft Office Excel or Notepad uses Code Page encoding and therefore you should turn Unicode Encoding off. This feature is only effective when Emulate ALT+Keypad is turned on.
Function Key Mapping When Ctrl+ASCII Mode is selected, function characters (0x00 - 0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad. CTRL Make Press function key CTRL Break @KBWFKM0 @KBWFKM1 ** Disable Ctrl+ASCII Mode Supposing the Ctrl+ASCII Mode feature is selected and other parameters of USB HID Keyboard adopt factory defaults, barcode data “A<HT>(i.e.

Inter-Keystroke Delay This parameter specifies the delay between emulated keystrokes. @KBWDLY0 @KBWDLY40 ** No Delay Long Delay (40ms) @KBWDLY20 Short Delay (20ms) Caps Lock The Caps Lock ON option can invert upper and lower case characters contained in barcode data. This inversion occurs regardless of the state of Caps Lock key on the host device’s keyboard.
Convert Case Scan the appropriate barcode below to convert all bar code data to your desired case. @KBWCAS0 @KBWCAS2 ** No Case Conversion Convert All to Lower Case @KBWCAS1 Convert All to Upper Case When the Convert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted as “abc”. If Emulate ALT+Keypad ON is selected, Convert All to Lower Case and Convert All to Upper Case do not function.
Emulate Numeric Keypad Do Not Emulate Numeric Keypad 1: Sending a number (0-9) is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard. Emulate Numeric Keypad 1: Sending a number (0-9) is emulated as keystroke(s) on numeric keypad. The state of Num Lock on the simulated numeric keypad is determined by its equivalent on the host device. If Num Lock on the host device is turned off, the output of simulated numeric keypad is function key instead of number.
Page 77
Emulate ALT+Keypad ON prevails over Emulate Numeric Keypad. Supposing the Emulate Numeric Keypad 1 feature is enabled: if Num Lock on the host device is ON, “A4.5” is transmitted as “A4.5”; if Num Lock on the host device is OFF, “A4.5” is transmitted as “.A”: 1.
Polling Rate This parameter specifies the polling rate for a USB keyboard. If the Host drops characters, change the polling rate to a bigger value. @KBWPOR0 @KBWPOR1 @KBWPOR2 @KBWPOR3 ** 4ms @KBWPOR4 @KBWPOR5 @KBWPOR6 @KBWPOR7...
USB CDC If your scanner is connected to the USB port on a host device, the USB CDC feature allows the host device to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is needed when using this feature. You may download it from our website at www.newlandaidc.com.
USB HID-POS Introduction The 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: HID based, no custom driver required. Way more efficient in communication than keyboard emulation and traditional RS-232 interface.
USB uses VID (Vendor ID) and PID (Product ID) to identify and locate a device. The VID is assigned by USB Implementers Forum. Newland’s vendor ID is 1EAB (Hex). A range of PIDs are used for each Newland product family. Every PID contains a base number and interface type (keyboard, COM port, etc.).
Chapter 6 Symbologies Introduction Every symbology (barcode type) has its own unique attributes. This chapter provides programming barcodes for configuring the scanner so that it can identify various symbologies. It is recommended to disable those that are rarely used to increase the efficiency of the scanner.

Chapter 7 Data Formatter Introduction You may use the Data Formatter to modify the scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Formatter to insert characters at certain points in barcode data or to suppress/ replace/ send certain characters in barcode data as it is scanned.
Page 207
Step 1: Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Step 2: Scan the Add Data Format barcode. @DFMADD Add Data Format Step 3: Select a label (Format_0 or Format_1 or Format_2 or Format_3). Scan a numeric barcode 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 to label this data format Format_0 or Format_1 or Format_2 or Format_3. Step 4: Select formatter command type.
Page 208
Example: Program a Format_0 data format using formatter command type 6, Code 128 containing 10 characters applicable, send all characters followed by “A”. 1. Scan the Enter Setup barcode Enter the Setup mode 2. Scan the Add Data Format barcode Add a data format 3.
Programming with Serial Commands A data format can also be created by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host device. All commands must be entered in uppercase letters. The syntax consists of the following elements: Prefix: “~<SOH>0000” (HEX: 7E 01 30 30 30 30), 6 characters. Storage type: “@”...
Enable/Disable Data Formatter When Data Formatter is disabled, the barcode data is outputted to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes. @DFMENA0 ** Disable Data Formatter You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created. The following settings can be applied to your data format: Enable Data Formatter, Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix: Scanned data that meets your data format requirements is modified accordingly and gets outputted along with prefixes and suffixes (if prefix and suffix are enabled).
@DFMENA1 @DFMENA2 Enable Data Formatter, Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix Enable Data Formatter, Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix @DFMENA3 @DFMENA4 Enable Data Formatter, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix Enable Data Formatter, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix Non-Match Error Beep If Non-Match Error Beep is turned ON, the scanner generates an error beep when a barcode is encountered that does not match your required data format.
Data Format Selection After enabling the Data Formatter, you may select a data format you want to use by scanning the appropriate barcode below. @DFMUSE0 @DFMUSE1 ** Format_0 Format_1 @DFMUSE2 @DFMUSE3 Format_2 Format_3 Change Data Format for a Single Scan You can switch between data formats for a single scan.
Clear Data Format There are two methods to remove data format created from your scanner: Delete one data format: Scan the Clear One barcode, a numeric barcode (0-3) and the Save barcode. For example, to delete Format_2, you should scan the Clear One barcode, the 2 barcode and the Save barcode Delete all data formats: Scan the Clear All barcode.

However, in real applications, they do not and should not have all information we need, such as barcode type, data acquisition time and delimiter, in order to keep the barcodes short and flexible.
Global Settings Enable/Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes: Transmit barcode data with no prefix/suffix. Enable All Prefixes/Suffixes: Allow to append Code ID prefix, AIM ID prefix, custom prefix/suffix and terminating character to the barcode data before the transmission. @APSENA0 @APSENA1 ** Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes Enable All Prefixes/Suffixes Prefix Sequence...
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. For example, if the custom prefix is “AB” and the barcode data is “123”, the Host will receive “AB123”. @CPRENA0 @CPRENA1 ** Disable Custom Prefix...

Chapter 9 Batch Programming Introduction Batch programming enables users to integrate a batch of commands into a single batch barcode. Listed below are batch programming rules: 1. Command format: Command + Parameter Value. 2. Each command is terminated by a semicolon (;). Note that there is no space between a command and its terminator semicolon.
Create a Batch Command A batch command may contain a number of individual commands each of which is terminated by a semicolon (;). For more information, refer to the “Use of Programming Command” section in Chapter 3. Create a Batch Barcode Batch barcodes can be produced in the format of PDF417, QR Code or Data Matrix.
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.
