Page 37: Concatenating Configuration Bar Codes
Concatenating configuration bar codes What is a configuration bar code? All the configuration codes in this Reference Manual are Code 128 bar codes with a special terminator character—FNC3, data string \60—to indicate that the code is a configuration code. Why concatenate? In order to configure the ScanPlus for a given installation, you may need to read a number of configuration codes one after the other—and you may need to do this for each ScanPlus you have to install and set...

Page 39: Configuration Modes
Configuration modes Configuration authorization modes Configuration enable mode Configuration Enable Mode allows you to configure your ScanPlus at all times. Configuration inhibit after 1 mn Configuration Inhibit After 1 mn protects the ScanPlus from unintentional configuration actions—configuration is inhibited if no configuration codes are read during the first minute after power-up.
Page 40: Temporary Configuration Mode
Configuration modes Temporary configuration mode Temporary Configuration Mode allows you to test new configuration settings without loosing your current configuration setup. Temporary configuration mode remains active until you select Restore/Update Current Configuration or until you switch off the ScanPlus. Restore current configuration Restore Current Configuration quits temporary configuration mode and returns the ScanPlus to its current configuration settings.
Page 41: Transparent Configuration Mode
Transparent configuration mode Transparent Configuration Mode allows you to use the ScanPlus (and the present Reference Manual if required!) to configure other UBI products. Transparent configuration mode remains active until you switch off the ScanPlus. Example To use your ScanPlus to configure UBI’s OmniImage product: 1.
Page 42: Display Data String Mode
Configuration modes Display data string mode Display Data String Mode allows you to display the data string values and checksum for configuration bar codes on a terminal screen. The configuration codes in this manual are in Code 128 format. Data string values are displayed in hexadecimal and are separated by backslashes. Data string values are useful if you want to concatenate configuration bar codes Concatenating configuration bar codes ) or if you want to send commands directly from the host terminal to the ScanPlus in RS-232 Slave Mode (...
Page 43: Data Decoding Security Parameters
Data decoding security parameters Description Data decoding security parameters allow you to ensure that the ScanPlus transmits the correct data after decoding, whatever the reading conditions or quality of the bar codes read. Predefined security levels The Normal Security Level optimizes the reading speed for most situations.
Page 44: Predefined Security Levels
Data decoding security parameters Predefined security levels Normal security level Single Read Before Transmission—300 ms Between Identical Consecutive Codes— No Time-Out Between Different Consecutive Codes Medium security level 2 Consecutive Same Reads Before Transmission—300 ms Between Identical Consecutive Codes—10 ms Between Different Consecutive Codes High security level 4 Consecutive Same Reads Before Transmission—350 ms Between Identical Consecutive Codes—30 ms Between Different Consecutive Codes...
Page 45: Consecutive Same Read Data Validation
Consecutive same read data validation By default, transmission occurs after a single successful read. Compose number of consecutive same reads before transmission To increase the reliability of the data transmitted, you can set the ScanPlus to validate the data before transmission—it will only transmit data after a specified number of successful consecutive reads have given the same result.
Page 46: Time-Out Between Identical Consecutive Codes
Data decoding security parameters Time-out between identical consecutive codes By default, you can only read identical consecutive codes after a time-out between reads of 300 ms. Compose timeout between identical consecutive codes Increasing the timeout before you can read another identical code protects against unwanted reading of the same bar code.
Page 47: Time-Out Between Different Consecutive Codes
Time-out between different consecutive codes By default, you can read two different codes immediately one after the other—there is no time-out between reads. Compose timeout between different consecutive codes Increasing the timeout before you can read a different code protects against unwanted reading of other bar codes if they are close together on the same label.

Page 53: Flashing Mode
Flashing mode To increase LED life, the ScanPlus is configured by default to flash after 10 minutes in standby instead of producing a continuous beam. When you present a bar code, it will return to a continuous beam. Flashing mode is the default mode for all ScanPlus models but is not available when the pushbutton of pushbutton models is activated.

Page 59: Inter-Character Delay
Inter-character delay The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted by the ScanPlus is affected by the response of the system. By the insertion of an inter-character delay, the ScanPlus can avoid dropping characters if it is transmitting decoded data too rapidly. This feature can only be used with keyboard wedge and RS-232 interfaces and OCIA cash registers.

Pushbutton models By default, the pushbutton on ScanPlus pushbutton models is deactivated. To activate the pushbutton, you must select the appropriate pushbutton activation code for your ScanPlus model ( Standard pushbutton models Standard pushbutton models are suitable for standard applications where energy consumption is not a critical parameter.
Page 118: Energy Saver Pushbutton Models
Pushbutton models Energy saver pushbutton models Energy saver pushbutton models are specially designed for energy- critical applications—using the ScanPlus with laptop computers for example. When the ScanPlus goes into standby after one of the time-out conditions has been satisfied, current consumption drops to zero until the next reading situation occurs.

Barcode length Barcode length (number of characters) for Standard 2 of 5 = [barcode data + check digit if applicable]. The minimum length possible is 3 characters. For maximum security, we strongly recommend that you use one of the following parameters with all ScanPlus products: Compose 1 or 2 Fixed Lengths (the safest configuration), Compose Minimum Length.

To reactivate a deactivated family, you must reactivate all the families by scanning Reactivate All—UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13. In the case of an unregular UPC-E with number system equal to 1—usually the first printed character—you must deactivate EAN-13 format.
