Page 5: Introduction
1. Introduction This User’s Manual contains all the information needed to operate and configure the 1240 Laser Scanner. It is divided into two parts. The first part of this manual describes programmable features of the scanner. And the second part of this manual is used for configuration, it contains the setup barcodes used to configure the scanner. -
Page 6: General Features
2.2 Indicator There is a dual color indicator on top of the scanner. Normally it is off, and it will turn red when there is a good read. The indicator will be green when the scanner is in configuration mode. - Page 7 To read the same barcode, the barcode must be taken away from the scanning line and back again. Auto Power Off Mode : The scanner will start scanning once the switch is triggered. The scanning continues until a preset scanning...
-
Page 8: Inhibit Time
2.4 Inhibit Time If the scanner mode is set to Continuous, Auto Power Off, Alternate, or Momentary mode, the scanner will prevent accidentally reading the same barcode twice by using an Inhibit Time (Blocking Time). The barcode must be taken away from the scanning line longer than the Inhibit Time to allow second reading of the same barcode. -
Page 9: Negative Barcodes
EAN 128 Plessey 2.8 Negative Barcodes The Laser scanner can be configured to read negative barcodes. Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense, just like negative films. -
Page 10: Output Interface
3. Output Interface The 1240 is a multi-interface Laser scanner. It can be configured as a keyboard wedge scanner, an RS-232 scanner, or a Wand emulation scanner. Replacing appropriate interface cable and configuring the desired interface type can easily change the output interface. -
Page 11: Keyboard Style - Digits
Digits on Upper Row 3.1.4 Capital Lock Status In order to send alphabets with correct case, the scanner needs to know the capital lock status of the keyboard. Incorrect settings may result in reversed case of alphabets being transmitted. There are 3 options to this parameter : On, Off, or Auto Detection. -
Page 12: Alphabets Transmission
(the Ignore Case option) when transmitting. 3.1.6 Digits Transmission User can choose how the scanner transmits digits by configuring this parameter. The scanner can transmit digits by using the alphanumeric key or by using the numeric key pad. The Num Lock status of the keyboard should be ON if numeric key pad option is selected. -
Page 13: Rs232 Interface
3.2.1 Transmission Mode There are four transmission modes supported on the scanner when RS232 output interface is used. One of them is for single port operation, and the others are for dual port operation. Single port operation is used where the scanner is... -
Page 14: Inter-Character Delay
No Flow Control Scanner Ready : The scanner will activate the RTS signal after power on. After each good read the scanner will then wait for the CTS signal becomes active. The data will not be sent until CTS signal becomes active. - Page 15 user can select US style keyboard or French style keyboard depends on which activation label is read. User can then select the desired baud rate, parity, and data bits to be used in this output interface. The Inter- Character Delay and Capital Lock Status settings can also be configured.

Page 16: Symbology Parameters
Code 39 are included in the data being transmitted. Checksum Verification : This parameter specifies whether the scanner will perform checksum verification when decoding Code 39. If the checksum is incorrect, the barcode will not be read. -
Page 17: Codabar
2 fixed lengths can be specified. And if max / min code length is selected, the max length and the min length must be specified, and the scanner will only accept those codes with lengths fall between max / min length specified. -
Page 18: Upce
CLSI Conversion : If this parameter is enabled, the scanner will perform the CLSI conversion when a 14 digits Codabar barcode is read. 4.5 UPCE System Number Selection : The UPCE comes with 2 flavors : System Number 0 and System Number 1. -
Page 19: Upca
4.8 EAN13 ISBN / ISSN Conversion : If these parameters are enabled, the scanner will convert the code into ISBN or ISSN code if the formats are correct (EAN13 codes start with 978 or 979 for ISBN, and 977 for ISSN). -
Page 20: Plessey
2 fixed lengths can be specified. And if max / min code length is selected, the max length and the min length must be specified, and the scanner will only accept those codes with lengths fall between max / min length specified. -
Page 21: Data Output Format
5. Data Output Format Data read by the scanner will be processed in the following sequence (RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge interfaces only). 1) The character substitution is performed on the barcode data. 2) The Code ID and the Length Code are inserted at the beginning of the data as shown below. -

predefined Code ID Sets that user can select from. User can first select one of the Code ID Sets and then make desired modifications. The pre-defined Code ID Sets are shown below. Symbology Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4 Set 5 Code 39 Italy Pharmacode French Pharmacode... -
Page 23: Data Editing
6. Data Editing The 1240 Laser scanner provides advanced data editing functions. Data editing is performed according to user configured editing formats. Up to three editing formats can be configured. Data is divided into fields by user specified rules. These... -
Page 24: Applicable Conditions
Field Transmission Sequence : F1 6.3 Applicable Conditions Three applicable conditions can be configured to qualify whether the data read by the scanner can be processed by the particular editing format. Data editing will not be performed unless all three applicable conditions are met The configurable applicable conditions are described below. -
Page 25: Dividing Data Into Fields
The field terminating string configured can be up to two characters. The scanner will search for the occurrence of this particular string in the data for the field. The field terminating string is always included in the field. -
Page 26: End Of Format Programming
If this parameter is enabled, all data read by the scanner must be processed by the editing format. If the data is not eligible for all enabled editing formats, the scanner will not accept the reading and the data will not be transmitted. 6.11 Programming Examples Example 1 : Extracts data from the 10th character to the 19th character. - Page 27 but is delimited by a ‘-’ character. After the ‘-’ character is the quantity information. Data should be transmitted like this : Item number goes first, then a TAB character, and then the date code, and then another TAB character and finally the quantity.

Page 28: Configuring 1240
7.1 Enter Configuration Mode To start the configuration, the ”Enter Setup” label must be read. This will put the scanner in the configuration mode. The scanner will respond with 6 beeps and the indicator will turn green after the label is read. -
Page 29: Setting Parameter Values
7.4 Setting Parameter Values For most of the parameters, only one reading is required to set them to new values. The scanner will respond with two beeps when these parameters are configured. But for some special parameters, multiple readings are required to complete the setting. The scanner will respond with a short beep if the configuration of the parameter is still not complete. -
Page 30: Character String Parameters
7.4.2 Character String Parameters Basically, two hexadecimal digits represent each character programmed for the character string parameters. The two hexadecimal digits usually comprise a value which is the ASCII code equivalence of the character being programmed. Beside the two hexadecimal digits, there is an optional key type/status can also be specified for each character of the string parameters. - Page 31 Whereas a character of Scan Code type may not have any associate key status settings. Normal Key Type: When this label is read, the scanner will assume the following hexadecimal digits are the ASCII code of the character being programmed. And it will also clear all the associate key status settings made to the current character.

Page 32: Exit Configuration Mode
These two labels differ in whether to keep the new settings on the scanner or not, as their names suggest. The scanner will respond with 6 beeps and restart itself, if either label is read.
