  • Page 17: Chapter 2 - Output

    Output Good Read Indicators Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = On. * On Beeper Volume –...

  • Page 18: Beeper Pitch - Good Read

    Beeper Pitch – Good Read The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Medium. Low (1600 Hz) * Medium (3250 Hz) High (4200 Hz) Beeper Duration – Good Read The beeper duration codes modify the length of the beep the imager emits on a good read.

  • Page 19: Number Of Beeps - Good Read

    Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read.

  • Page 20: Good Read Delay

    Good Read Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another bar code. Default = No Delay. * No Delay Short Delay (500 ms) Medium Delay (1,000 ms) Long Delay (1,500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save .

  • Page 21: Aimer Mode

    Aimer Mode This feature allows you to lower peak current during scanning by alternating the aimer and illumination LEDs. When the Interlaced bar code is scanned, the aimer and illumination LEDs are not allowed to be on at the same time. While this does limit peak current during scanning, the scanner performance may be slower.

  • Page 22: Centering Window

    Centering Window Use the centering feature to narrow the scanner’s field of view so the scanner reads only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the scanner only reads codes that intersect or are contained within the centering window you set up.
  • Page 23 Example: If you have two bar codes next to one another and the centering window is set to 40% left edge and 60% right edge, only the bar code that intersects that window will be decoded. Decoded bar code 100% Image Kiosk™...

  • Page 24: Decode Search Mode

    Decode Search Mode There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes: Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omni-directional search is very thorough which may slow performance time.

  • Page 25: Output Sequence Overview

    Output Sequence Overview Require Output Sequence When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the Imager decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the Imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.
  • Page 26 Output Sequence Example In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the imager to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below. Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example. A - Code 39 B - Code 128 C - Code 93...

  • Page 27: Output Sequence Editor

    Output Sequence Editor Enter Sequence Default Sequence Require Output Sequence When an output sequence is Required , all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required , the imager will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the imager transmits all output data to the host device as is.

  • Page 28: Multiple Symbols

    Multiple Symbols Note: This feature does not work when the Imager is in Low Power mode. When this programming selection is turned On , it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the Imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the Imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read.

  • Page 29: Print Weight

    Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If a imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light printing, a print weight of 2 may help.

  • Page 30: Working Orientation

    Working Orientation Some bar codes are direction-sensitive. For example, KIX codes and OCR can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use the working orientation settings if your direction-sensitive codes will not usually be presented upright to the scanner. Default = Upright. Upright: Rotate Clockwise 90°: Upside Down:...

  • Page 31: Chapter 3 - Data Editing

    Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

  • Page 32: To Add A Prefix Or Suffix

    To Add a Prefix or Suffix: Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 3-4). Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.

  • Page 33: To Clear One Or All Prefixes Or Suffixes

    To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes: You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

  • Page 34: Prefix Selections

    Prefix Selections Add Prefix Clear One Prefix Clear All Prefixes Suffix Selections Add Suffix Clear One Suffix Clear All Suffixes Function Code Transmit When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Refer to "ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252)"...

  • Page 35: Intercharacter, Interfunction, And Intermessage Delays

    Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

  • Page 36: Interfunction Delay

    To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number of steps to 0. Scan the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Interfunction Delay An interfunction delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string.

  • Page 37: Chapter 4 - Data Formatting

    Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output.

  • Page 38: Other Programming Selections

    Step 4. Length Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program- ming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050.
  • Page 39 E9 Send all but the last “nn” characters, starting from the current cursor posi- tion. Syntax = E9nn (nn is the numeric value (00-99) for the number of characters that will not be sent at the end of the message.) Move Commands F5 Move the cursor ahead “nn”...
  • Page 40 E5 Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5. FE Compare character in current cursor position to the character “xx.” If char- acters are equal, increment cursor. If characters are not equal, no format match. Syntax = FExx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3.) EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position.

  • Page 41: Data Format Editor

    Data Format Editor Enter Data Format * Default Data Format Clear One Data Format Clear All Data Formats Save Discard Data Formatter When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On, but Not Required.

  • Page 42: Alternate Data Formats

    Alternate Data Formats Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are programmed (see page 4-1), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

  • Page 46: Codabar Check Character

    Linear Symbologies Codabar Check Character Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can program the imager to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = No Check Character. No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character.

  • Page 47: Codabar Concatenation

    Linear Symbologies Codabar Concatenation Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concatenated into one with the “D”...

  • Page 49: Code 39 Check Character

    Linear Symbologies Code 39 Check Character No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character. When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Code 39 bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.

  • Page 50: Code 39 Append

    Linear Symbologies Code 39 Append This function allows the imager to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the imager stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data.

  • Page 51: Full Ascii

    Linear Symbologies Full ASCII If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs within the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single character. For example: $V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as the ASCII character #.

  • Page 52: Code 39 Code Page

    Linear Symbologies Code 39 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 bar code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting.

  • Page 53: Check Digit

    Linear Symbologies Check Digit No Check Digit indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check digit. When Check Digit is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a check digit, but will not transmit the check digit with the scanned data.

  • Page 93: Chapter 6 - Ocr Programming

    OCR Programming Use this section to program the Imager for optical character recognition (OCR). The TT8870 reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface. Note: OCR is not as secure as bar codes. To enhance security in OCR applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an OCR check character.

  • Page 94: Ocr Fonts

    OCR Fonts Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR On codes listed below.

  • Page 95: U.s. Currency Font

    U.S. Currency Font U.S. Currency On allows you to scan characters in the font used on U.S. currency. The default setting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 6-4).

  • Page 96: Ocr Templates

    OCR Templates You can create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable.
  • Page 97 Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would dddddddd To create this template, you would scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 6-13), then scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times.

  • Page 98: Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating "Or" Statements)

    To create this template, you would scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 6-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times, then scan 2041424320 from the Programming Chart the inside back cover (the hex characters for “space,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan the d three more times, then scan Save OCR Template (page 6-14).

  • Page 99: Reading Multi-Row Ocr

    Example: You need a variable to represent the letters “A,” “B,” or “C.” The template for this variable would be: 414243 To create this template, you would scan the Enter User-Defined Variable g symbol (page 6-13). Scan 414243 from the Programming Chart (the hex characters for “A,”...

  • Page 100: Ocr Check Character

    To read the three rows below, you would use the template command "OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllllrlllldddd". 12345678 ABCDEFGH ABCD1234. OCR Check Character You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the security of your OCR application. The TT8870 can be programmed for almost any type of check character.

  • Page 101: Ocr Modulo 36 Check Character

    OCR Modulo 36 Check Character Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36 checksum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z. OCR Modulo 36 Check Character OCR User-Defined Check Character You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application.

    Use the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual to scan the two symbols for each hex value. 3. Scan the Save bar code on the inside back cover. Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on page 6-9, scan the Enter OCR Check Character bar code on page...
  • Page 103 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character Starting with the check character and working backward through the message, the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 2, then 1, then 2, and so on. When the result of the multiplication is greater than 9, add both digits to the running sum. This is often referred to as the LUHN formula.

  • Page 104: Ocr Isbn Application Example

    OCR ISBN Application Example One application of OCR is to read the ISBN characters typically encoded using the OCR-A or OCR-B font. This is especially useful when the ISBN number is not encoded in an EAN-13 bar code. The following example shows how to configure the imager to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan.

  • Page 105: Ocr Template Codes

    5. Finally, set up the ISBN check digit, which is a special position-weighted modulo 11 checksum. The imager automatically invokes the ISBN check- sum for template rows that are: 1.) at least fourteen characters long, 2.) whose first four characters are the letters “ISBN,” 3.) whose last character is a check character, and 4.) when the modulo 11 check character “0123456789X”...

    Utilities To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart, included in the Appendix A, page A-1) for the single character code that identifies each symbology.) This action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D.

  • Page 108: Test Menu

    Test Menu When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this manual, the imager displays the content of a programming code. The programming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that programming code is output to the terminal.

  • Page 109: Chapter 8 - Serial Programming Commands

    Serial Programming Commands The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the TT8870. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.

  • Page 110: Query Commands

    Query Commands Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings. What is the default value for the setting(s). What is the device’s current value for the setting(s). What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de- vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values.

  • Page 111: Examples Of Query Commands

    When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command. Examples of Query Commands In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response.

No stretch (default) Histogram stretch I - Invert Image: Used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis in fixed mount applications where the imager is mounted upside down.
  • Page 128 P - Protocol: Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the image data being sent to the host. It addresses the protocol used to send the data (Hmodem, which is an xmodem 1K variant that has additional header information), and the format of the image data that is sent.

  • Page 129: Intelligent Signature Capture - Imgbox

    Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX Intelligent signature capture ships only part of an image to the host application. This method reduces transfer time and file size, while simplifying signature capture. Below is an example of an intelligent signature capture application. In this example, the operator reads the bar code, which is then transmitted to the host application.
