Chapter 1: Getting Started 1. Provide power to the base. 2. Place the 7837 into the base. The scanner and base link. 3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scan ner has successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base. Unlinking the S canner If the base has a scanner linked to it, th at scanner must be unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is nlinked, it no longer communic ates with the base. To unlink a canner from the base , sca n the Unlink Scanner bar code below. Link Modes There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to sw itch from one mode to another. Default = Locked Link ...
Page 22: Open Link Mode
Chapter 1: Getting Started To use a different scanner, you need to remove the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base , scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below and place that scanner in the base. The locked link is overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base is removed, and the new scanner is link ed. Open Link Mode hen newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. By placing a scanner into the base, they establish a link. Placing a different scanner into the base establishes a new link and the old scanner is unlinked. Each time a scanner is placed into the base, it becomes the linked scanner; the old scanner is unlinked. Out-of-Range A larm Duration I your scanner is out range of the base, an alarm sounds from both f your base and scanner. To activate the alarm options for the scanner or e base and to set the alarm duration, scan the appropriate bar code below and then set the time‐out duration (from 0‐3000 seconds) by scanning digits on the rogramming Chart, then scanning Save. P Default = 0 sec (no alarm). ...

Page 26: Rf (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
1-12 Chapter 1: Getting Started The base also is the scanner battery charger with the external 9VDC power source applied. Once you place the scanner into base, the base green LED responds accordin g to the Charge Status Indicator table above. The base can be powered by the Host (parasitic power mode). If the base is in parasitic power mode without the 9VDC power source, the base still functions, but does not charge the battery. RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation The cordless system uses a state‐of‐the‐art two‐way Blueto oth radio to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the base. Design ed for point‐to‐point and multipoint‐to‐single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fas t data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, which makes the cordless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power leve l provides range of 33 feet (10m) depending on the environment. Cordless Scanner The cordless scanner enables fast and accurate bar code scanning using a non‐contact linear imager. The scanner is comprised of a linear imager, a decode/contro l assembly, and an RF communication module. The scan engine performs the bar code image illuminatio n and sensing. The decode/control assembly ...
Page 27: System Conditions
Chapter 1: Getting Started 1-13 System Conditions The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a scanner to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless syst em operating conditions. Linking Process Once a scanner is placed into the base, the scanner’s battery charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to the base if another scanner is not already linked. Scanner Is Out of Range The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner cannot communicate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If th e scanner is out of range and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues a triple beep indicating no communication with the base. In addition, your scanner and base can sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. See Out‐of‐Range Alarm. Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range The scanner re‐links if the scanner or the base have been reset or out of ...
Page 28: Connecting The Base When Powered By Host (Keyboard Wedge)
1-14 Chapter 1: Getting Started Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two‐way communication between the scanner and the base. When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit. Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was received by the host. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system. Connecting the Base When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge) A base can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode.

Page 47: Connecting The Base With Rs-232 Serial Port
Chapter 2: Terminal Interfaces Connecting the Base with RS-232 Serial Port 1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base. Note: For the base to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer. 3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port. 4. Plug the power supply barrel connector to the base and plug the power supply into the AC source. 5. Once the base has been fully connected, power up the computer. All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS‐ 232 protocol. Scanning the RS‐232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS‐232 interface at 38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF. ...
Page 48: Rs-232 Baud Rate
2-10 Chapter 2: Terminal Interfaces RS-232 Baud Rate Baud Rate sends the data from the scanner to the terminal at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the scanner. Default = 38,400. RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hexadecimal characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8. Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1. ...

Chapter 2: Terminal Interfaces 2-11 Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. Default = None. RS-232 Handshaking RS‐232 Handshaking permits control of data transmission from the Imager using software commands from the host device. When this feature is turned Off, no data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hexadecimal 13) to the Imager. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hexadecimal 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF and ACK/NAK Off ...
Page 50: Host Ack Selection
2-12 Chapter 2: Terminal Interfaces Host ACK Selection Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions. These applications require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted from the source scanner. Turning the Host ACK selection on, configures the cordless system scanners to respond to commands from the host system. The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly: • The cordless system must be configured for “Host Port RS‐232” (Terminal ID = 000) • RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it. • Host ACK must be enabled, see Chapter 2. • System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600. • The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape commands to the source scanner. ...
Page 51 Chapter 2: Terminal Interfaces 2-13 Escape commands are addressed to the source scanner through the “Application Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each scanner be assigned to its own group. The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on in Chapter 2. The <ESC> is a 1 B in hexadecimal. A typical command string is y <ESC> x, where “y” is the application work group number, “<ESC> x” is the escape command and the comma is the terminator. Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An example of a command string is listed below. 0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6, The above example makes a scanner in application work group zero beep low, medium, high. Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows: • The scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/host system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until you receive an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out upon a successful read. • Scanner is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system (through the base) or 2) the scanner “times out.” • Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again and the process repeats. Time out is indicated by three rapid beeps at the same pitch. A time out occurs if the source scanner does not receive a valid escape command in 10 seconds. If a time out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received. ...

Chapter 2: Terminal Interfaces 2-15 Wand Emulation Wand Emulation Connection The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to change the terminal ID only without changing any other imager , settings. It is recommended to use Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your imager to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID. Refer to Wand Emulation Plug & Play in Chapter 1 for further information. In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128. The Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.

Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time‐Out bar code, set the time‐out duration (from 0‐300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart at the back of this manual, then scanning Save. Default = 0 ms (no time‐out). Scanner Power Time-Out Timer Note: The Scanner Power Time‐out Timer option only applies to Manual/Serial Trigger. When there is no activity within a specified time period, the scanner enters low power mode. Scan the Scanner Power Time‐Out bar code to change the timeout duration (in seconds). Then scan the digit value of the duration (from 1‐10,800 seconds) and the Save bar codes on the Programmin g Chart at the back of this manual. Default = 3600 seconds (1 hour). If there are no trigger pulls during the “scanner power time‐out timer” interval, the scanner goes in power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the “scanner power time‐out timer” is reset. If the scann er is placed in the base cradle and the battery is in the process o f being ...

Chapter 3: Output Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to power the unit back up. There is a set of power up beeps and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The scanner is then ready to use. Automatic Trigger The scanner scans continuously at full power with illumination fully on. Presentation Mode The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the scanner. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode does not work properly. Hands Free Time-Out The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time‐Out. Once the time‐out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) the imager reverts to the original hands free mode. ...

Chapter 5: Data Formatting To Add a Data Format Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol. Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format Determine if this is your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats permit you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart in the back of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming. Step 3. Terminal Type Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (Chapter 2) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge. Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099. Step 4. Code I.D. In the Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the hexadecimal value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hexadecimal value from the Programming Chart in the back of this manual. Step 5. Length Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data is acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart in the back of this manual.

Chapter 6: Symbologies Message Length You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread. EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters. Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20 EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters. Min.

Tag Field Usage When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applie s to the entire set of commands available for the particular stora ge table indicated by the Storage field of the comman d. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used because they are ignored by the device. SubTag Field Usage When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device. Data Field Usage When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.

Maintenance Chapter 12: Maintenance Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center. Cleaning the Scanner’s Window Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner is not operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent‐water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened with water only. The base and scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way. Caution: Do not submerge the Imager in water. The scanner’s housing is not watertight. Caution: Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the image’s window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never use solvents (for example, alcohol or acetone) on the housing or window – solvents may damage the finish or the window. ...
Page 166: Inspecting Cords And Connectors
12-2 Chapter 12: Maintenance Inspecting Cords and Connectors Inspect the base’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your NCR representative for information about cable replacement. Replacing the Base Interface Cable 1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2. Disconnect the base’s cable form the terminal or computer. 3. Turn the base upside down. 4. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure on the connector release clip. 5. Replace with the new cable. Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is keyed to go in only one way and click into place. ...

12-4 Chapter 12: Maintenance • The battery is not bad or deeply discharged. In some cases, the scanner’s battery may trickle charge to bring it into an acceptable level and then transition to a normal charge cycle. Troubleshooting Scanner Note: Make sure that your scanner’s battery is charged. Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols? If the scanner is not reading symbols well, check that the symbols: • Are not smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids. • Are not coated with frost or water droplets on the surface. • Are enabled in the base to which the scanner connects. Is the bar code displayed but not entered into the application? The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example). ...
Page 169: The Scanner Does Not Read Your Bar Code At All
Chapter 12: Maintenance 12-5 • The base may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly. For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.” Reprogram the base with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 6. The scanner does not read your bar code at all. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable. Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6). If the scanner still cannot read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies ( see Chapter 6). If you are not sure what programming options have been set in the base, or if you want the factory default settings restored, scan Resetting the Standard Product Defaults (see Chapter 10). Troubleshooting the Cordless System The scanner must be linked to the base for the system to work properly. See ʺLinking Scanner to Baseʺ in Chapter 1. ...

Page 174: Code Page Mapping Of Printed Bar Codes
Appendix A: Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with which the bar codes were created. The data characters should then appear properly. Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
