  • Page 31: 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 32: Reread Delay

    Reread Delay This sets the time period before the imager can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required.

  • Page 33: Led Power Level

    LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the default) is the brightest setting. Note: If you scan the Off bar code, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan bar codes in low light.
  • Page 34 The default centering window is a 128x96 pixel area in the center of the imager’s field of view. The following diagram illustrates the default top, bottom, left, and right pixel positions, measured from the top and the left side of the imager’s field of view, which is 640 by 480 pixels.

  • Page 35: 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 Omnidirectional search is very thorough which may slow performance time.

  • Page 36: Output Sequence Examples

    Output Sequence Editor This programming selection allows you to program the imager to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned.

  • Page 39: Print Weight

    Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If an 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 40: 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 imager. Default = Upright. Upright: Rotate Code Clockwise 90°: Upside Down:...

  • Page 41: Chapter 4 - 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 42: To Add A Prefix Or Suffix

    To Add a Prefix or Suffix: Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol 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 43: 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 105: Chapter 7 - Imaging Commands

    Imaging Commands The imager can be used as a digital camera for capturing, manipulating, and transferring images. Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent image capture. Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings.

  • Page 106: Image Ship - Imgshp

    G - Gain: This modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. No gain (default) Medium gain Heavy gain Maximum gain D - Delta for Acceptance: This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo Style.

  • Page 107: Imgshp Modifiers

    The image ship command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image output by the imager. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers and end with a letter (case insensitive).
  • Page 108 H - Histogram Stretch: Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats. 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. Invert around the X axis (flips picture upside down) Invert around the Y axis (flips picture left to right) IF- Noise Reduction: Used to reduce the salt and pepper noise.
  • Page 109 L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping: Ships a window of the image by specifying the left, right, top, and bottom pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered 0 through 640, and device rows are numbered 0 through 480. The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the image in memory.

  • Page 110: Image Size Compatibility

    This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E - Edge Sharpen command (see shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U.

    Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX Note: IMGBOX commands can only be used with PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 symbologies. 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.

KIM format (default) TIFF binary TIFF binary group 4, compressed TIFF grayscale Uncompressed Binary Uncompressed grayscale JPEG image Outlined image BMP format H - Height of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 1 inch, resulting in a value of H = 1/0.01 = 100.

  • Page 113: Chapter 8 - Ocr Programming

    OCR Programming Use this section to program the Imager for optical character recognition (OCR). The 2D imager 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 114: Micr E13 B Font

    OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. 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 8-3).

  • Page 115: Ocr Templates

    SEMI Font SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI Font On All OCR Off 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. However, any OCR templates you have created will be retained in memory.

  • Page 116: Template Characters

    Template Characters represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) represents that a check character is verified but not transmitted represents any digit represents any available OCR character represents character from user-defined variable “g” represents character from user-defined variable “h” represents character from user-defined variable “g” or “h” represents that a check character is verified but transmitted represents any uppercase letter marks the start of a new template...

Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font.

  • Page 118: Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating "Or" Statements)

    Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements) You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template. Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits.

  • Page 119: Reading Multi-Row Ocr

    This template would then let you read data that began with six digits, and had an A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read: Reading Multi-Row OCR The imager is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text. Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended.

  • Page 120: Ocr Check Character

    OCR Check Character You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the security of your OCR application. The imager can be programmed for almost any type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common check character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).

  • Page 121: 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 User-Defined Check Character You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper order.

  • Page 122: Weighting Options

    2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding hex value from the Use the Programming Chart 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 8-9, enable the OCR-A font.
  • Page 123 Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader outputs the message: 0123456 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.

  • Page 124: 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 125: 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 checksum 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”...
