MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Bar Code Scanning The MK1000 automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view. It can decode all standard 1-dimensional bar codes plus PDF, micro-PDF, and composite bar codes. Scanning Modes The MK1000 can operate in a number of different scanning modes. Three of the most...
Modify the “scan mode” setting via the MK1000’s Configuration menu. • Send a host transmitted SSI (Simple Serial Interface) command, specifying which scan pattern/scanning mode the MK1000 should use. For more information on this, see Scan Engine Commands on page 5-16. •...
In Smart Raster operation, a trigger pull causes a single scan line pattern to appear. If the target is a 1-D bar code, the scanner decodes the symbol. If the target bar code is a 2-D bar code, the scanning patterns open up to a full, optimized raster pattern as soon as the scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.
• Be sure the symbol is in good condition. Scanning Composite (2D) Bar Codes Composite Code is a combination of a 1D symbol (RSS, UPC/EAN or UPC/EAN-128) and a 2D symbol (CC-A, CC-B or CC-C). When scanning a bar code: •...
Using the Display (LCD) The MK1000 has a back lit 240 x 64 pixel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The display’s colors are white on blue. The MK1000’s display can handle both text and graphics. The LCD’s contrast is adjustable.
Power-over-Ethernet. If an external power supply is used, it plugs into the power port on the rear of the MK1000 via a 2.0mm barrel jack. The center pin of the jack is positive and the outer tab is ground.
The MK1000 supports Power-over-Ethernet (Symbol Technologies' Bias-T functionality). When an Ethernet (10Base-T) cable is connected to the LAN port, in addition to being the conduit for data exchange, it can also be used as a conduit to provide power to the MK1000. RS-485 RS-485 is sometimes termed the Multidrop LAN since it can connect several devices in a LAN network environment.
Chapter 2 Setup and Installation: Mechanical Overview This chapter describes the hardware setup and installation of the MK1000. Topics covered in this chapter include mounting, providing power, and connecting communication cables (if required) for the following four MK1000 communication interfaces: •...
Ethernet cable. Wired Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet With this installation option, the MK1000 communicates to the host via a 10Base-T Ethernet cable and receives power via a power supply plugged into an AC outlet. To install the MK1000, follow the instructions below.
Setup and Installation: Mechanical Wired Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet With this installation option, in addition to the MK1000 communicating to the host via a 10Base-T Ethernet cable, the MK1000 also simultaneously receives its power via the same Ethernet cable. Note: Power-over-Ethernet should NOT be used in conjunction with an external power supply connected to the power port on the MK1000 otherwise damage can occur to the MK1000 and/or network.
Wireless Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet With this installation option, the MK1000 communicates to the host via a wireless (RF) connection and receives power via a power supply plugged into an AC outlet. To install the MK1000, follow the instructions below.
Setup and Installation: Mechanical Wireless Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet With this installation option, the MK1000 communicates to the host via a wireless (RF) connection and receives power via an Ethernet cable. Note: This Ethernet cable does NOT provide data to the MK1000.
For MK1000 devices installed where pre-existing PCK 9100 wiring exists, an RS-485 pin- out converter can be used. This pin-out converter maps the PCK 9100 signals into the required MK1000 pin-out and attaches to the existing PCK 9100 wiring, and then into the MK1000.
Page 35
Setup and Installation: Mechanical To install the MK1000 with a host that does not support RS-485, follow the instructions below. 1. Provide power to the MK1000 using its power supply. • Insert the round barrel connector at the end of the power supply cable into the MK1000’s Power port.
Setup and Installation: Mechanical Wired RS-232 Setup The MK1000 can communicate with a host via a Serial cable connected to the Com/ Scanner port while receiving power via a power supply plugged into and AC outlet. To install the MK1000, follow the instructions below.
MK1000. To connect an external device, follow the instructions below. 1. Attach the auxiliary device’s cable to the Com/Scanner port on the MK1000. (See Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for port locations.) Ensure the auxiliary device’s cable is terminated properly.
2. Using a pencil, mark the mounting screw location. Refer to the mounting template provided in the MK1000 Quick Reference Guide (p/n 72-52968-xx) included with every MK1000. The screws must be 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart, left to right: and, 6 inches (15.3 cm) apart, top to bottom.

Power-over-Ethernet pin-out connectors allow ethernet signals and power supply voltage to be supplied to the MK1000 through a single Ethernet cable. If power to the MK1000 is being provided via Power-over-Ethernet, do NOT plug the power supply into the MK1000 as well.
RS-232 Connectors - Com/Scanner Port Serial/RS-232 Communication This cable pin-out can be used for both Serial communication from the host to the MK1000 and/or communication between an external hand held decoded scanner and the MK1000. Table 2-6. RS-232 Cable: 10-Pin...
Table 2-8 describes the MK1000’s pin-outs for its LAN port and is given for general starting information only. To generate a cable to attach to the MK1000, see Cable Pin-Outs on page 2-13. Table 2-8. MK1000 LAN Port: RJ-45 10-Pin...
Chapter 3 Setup and Installation: Communication Overview This chapter describes the steps required to establish communication between the MK1000 and a host. Note: The host must be able to support either the RS-232 or Ethernet communication interface. Common host operating systems that support these interfaces include Windows, Unix, DOS, and IBM 468x/469x.
The four types of interfaces are listed in Table 3-1. The number and type of communication interfaces your unit has is specified in its model number. For a list of MK1000 model numbers and their supported onboard communication interfaces see the Appendix F, Troubleshooting.
RF Settings, ESS ID, Encryption, Key ID, and Key Management. These parameters can be configured from the System menu and/or a Telnet Session. 2. Telnet sessions require an Ethernet connection between the host and the MK1000. 3. PCK Configuration programming bar codes are located in...

485 network. Each unit is assigned a unique address. <ENQ> ASCII Enquiry <ACK> ASCII Acknowledge <NAK> ASCII Negative Acknowledge PCK Ethernet & RS-232 Communication Protocol When communicating to the host terminal via Ethernet or RS-232, MK1000 data is formatted as follows: <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC>...
ACK/NAK handshaking is supported for data sent from the host to the MK1000. If enabled, the MK1000 ACKs or NAKs a data packet based on its format and the LRC being correct. Because no error checking is performed on the data in the packet, the MK1000 ignores invalid display commands within the packet and sends an ACK.
PCK Emulation Allows binary data communication, no software handshaking is used. Data packets contain no control characters. Communications Examples Example 1 - Correct Communications MK1000 Host <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC> <ACK> <EOT> Example 2 -Wrong First Transmission MK1000 Host <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC>...
The host and the MK1000 communicate with each other using the following packet format: <SOH> <ADDR> <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC> If the MK1000 is polled and has no data, it responds with an EOT character. The same ACK/NAK protocol used for RS-232 is used for RS-485 communication.

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Display Commands Several commands display text and bit mapped graphics, control data sent to and from the second Serial port, or interface to the scanner. Display commands view the LCD display as an array of points 240 across by 64 high. Point 0,0 is in the top left corner and point 239,63 is in the bottom right.

PCK Emulation Message Commands A message is composed of display commands and text to be displayed. Commands are executed in the same manner as host commands. The MK1000 has four default messages (see Table 5-4 on page 5-10) that can be replaced using the Resource Manager to create messages with the same ID numbers.

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Button Press - Event Notification When one of the MK1000 function buttons is depressed, a string is sent to the host where <Keypad digit, 1 through 4> is the number of the button pressed. For example, "BTN4" is sent to the host when the right most button, ‘4’, is pressed.
