Page 67: Reading Bar Code Labels
Bar code labels can contain data or commands. Each label must include start and stop characters that provide initial timing references and direction of read information to the coding logic. Intermec printers automatically generate asterisks (*) as the start and stop characters.
Page 68: Using The Slot Scanner
9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual Using the Slot Scanner You can order the 9560 with an internal infrared or visible light slot scanner. The slot scanner is always triggered and available for input. To use the slot scanner, simply slide a bar-coded object (such as an identification badge, envelope, or file folder) through the slot in either direction.
Page 69: Using The Magnetic Card Reader
Using the Magnetic Card Reader The 9560 requires an IRL program to use the magnetic card reader. When you order the 9560 with an internal magnetic card reader, the IRL control program is already installed on the unit and on a disk.

Each has its own strengths and limitations, depending on the distances between connected devices and the configuration of the equipment. The 9560 supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 multi-drop interfaces. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install the 9560.”...
Page 79: Full-Duplex Protocols Versus Half-Duplex Protocols
(Poll and Select) and AFF/NEG handshakes. Point-to-Point and similar user-defined protocols are the only Intermec protocols that are full-duplex. These protocols do not support retransmission of data messages. The reader transmits data when commanded to by the operator, but the reader receives data from the host at any time.
Page 80: Working With Protocols
Point-to-Point protocol is the exception. Polling Mode D and Multi-Drop are very secure data link protocols designed to interface with the Intermec 9154 Network Controller and 9161 Port Concentrator. Both devices continuously poll bar code readers and printers for transactions and pass those transactions to the host computer.
Page 81: Polling Mode D Protocol

You can scroll the oversize display back three lines, one line at a time. Note: The keypad on the 9560 does not provide keys for scrolling. You must use an IRL program, scan bar code command labels, or use the arrow keys on the 1700 keyboard to scroll the display.
Page 87: Display Settings And Formatting
Reader warning messages messages can interrupt the current display at any time and are generally accompanied by a beep. If transparent display is selected, the error messages are not displayed. Display Settings and Formatting The reader has two display settings: buffered and transparent. Buffered Display In buffered display mode, the reader adds and executes a CR LF sequence to all transmitted, received, or scanned data or messages.

Page 106: Full Ascii Mode
See Chapter 8 “Data Entry Commands” for information on the Full ASCII mode commands. Command Types The 9560 recognizes two types of commands: configuration commands and data entry commands. Configuration commands communication protocol, and protocol characters. These settings are saved in memory, even if the reader’s power is removed.

If you use any of these commands, the IRL program will not compile or run on the 9560. Note: PC-IRL will compile these commands. If you create an IRL program in PC-IRL with these commands and download it to the 9560, the program will not run on the 9560. Function Output Command You use the enhanced Function Output command (F) to control the relays and determine the sense input status.
Page 236: Sample Program 1
“Magnetic Card Reader Commands” later in this chapter. Sample Program 1 In this example, the 9560 controls access to a restricted area. If the user scans a badge with an authorized number, the 9560 responds by actuating a relay that may be connected to a door lock.
Page 237: Sample Program 2
• The sense inputs are monitored. If the alarm input is high, access is denied. • If you hold the door open, the 9560 beeps and prompts you to close it. You can use this programs as is, line by line, with or without the comments.

Status Beeps The reader beeps to indicate its status and condition. Error Status Beeps Beeps Error Condition 4 low Power was applied or unit was reset. RAM and ROM are in proper working condition. high low high An input or output error occurred. 1 low A valid label was read, but not transmitted to the host.
Page 252: Communications Errors
When an error occurs, the reader sounds three beeps (high low high) and displays the error message on the reader display or the CRT terminal. The 9560 displays error messages only when the reader display or the reader terminal port is configured for buffered operation.

The bars encode information, and the spaces separate individual bars. It can achieve densities of 15 characters per inch.
Page 282 9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual autodiscrimination Capability of a reader to read multiple symbologies automatically without a significant change in first read rate or substitution error rate. bad program acknowledgment character Sent from the reader when the received IRL program has compile errors. The host must correct and retransmit the program.
Page 283 bidirectional A bar code symbol that can be read successfully independent of scanning direction. An abbreviation for binary digit. A single element (0 or 1) in a binary number. byte A combination of eight bits in a predetermined pattern, designed to represent a digit or alphanumeric character.
Page 284 9560 Transaction Manager User’s Manual Code 39 Alphanumeric bar code that is discrete, variable length, and self-checking. Character set includes a start/stop character, 10 digits, 26 letters of the alphabet, space, and six symbols. ASCII characters are represented by the alphanumeric characters combined with the six symbols.
Page 285 Glossary continuous code continuous bar code symbol A bar code or symbol in which the space between two characters (intercharacter gap) is part of the code, such as USD-1 (Interleaved 2 of 5 Code). A continuous code is the opposite of a discrete code. contrast Amount of difference in reflectance between the dark bars and the light spaces of a bar code;...

Edge Trigger mode The laser only turns on or off when you pull the trigger–it completely ignores the trigger release.
Page 287 Glossary End of Program Block/Continue character Sent by the host after transmitting a block of IRL program statements to the reader. Indicates the end of an intermediate block of program data and that more program data will be transmitted. End of Record character 1.
Page 288 Continuous Code. Interleaved 2 of 5 Code A bar code developed by Intermec for Computer Identics that encodes the ten digits 0 through 9. The name Interleaved 2 of 5 is derived from the method used to encode two characters. In this symbol, two characters are paired, using bars to represent the first character and the interleaved spaces to represent the second character.
Page 289 Glossary laser Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A coherent, monochromatic light source produced by directing a light beam repeatedly through an active material so that it becomes amplified, and then directing the beam into a narrow cone of divergence. The active material converts energy into laser light, a pumping source provides power or energy, and separate optics direct the beam through the active material and then into a narrow cone of divergence.
