  • Page 72: Connecting An Rs-232 Interface

    1-3. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable. Plug the power supply to an appropriate outlet. Ensure that all connections are secure.

  • Page 77: Baud Rate

    Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the scanner's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host, or data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.

  • Page 78: Parity

    A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an odd number of 1 bits.

  • Page 79: Check Receive Errors

    Select None when no parity bit is required. None Check Receive Errors Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above. Check For Received Errors (Enable)

  • Page 80: Stop Bit Select

    The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. Select the number of stop bits (one or two) to match the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate.

  • Page 81: Hardware Handshaking

    • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is de-asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any scanned data.
  • Page 82 RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

  • Page 83: Software Handshaking

    If you select this option, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When it receives a NAK, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data after receiving NAKs, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
  • Page 84 • The scanner receives an XOFF before it has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If it does not receive the XON within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

  • Page 85: Host Serial Response Time-Out

    RS-232 Interface 6 - 15 Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK software handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS hardware handshaking mode.

  • Page 336 Code 3 of 9 (Code 39). A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9 and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and space). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.
  • Page 337 Discrete Code. A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code. Discrete 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group of five bars, two of which are wide.
  • Page 338 Types of interfaces include RS-232 and PCMCIA. Key. A key is the specific code used by the algorithm to encrypt or decrypt the data. Also see, Encryption and Decrypting. LASER. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb.
  • Page 339 Parameter. A variable that can have different values assigned to it. Percent Decode. The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar code scanning system, that probability should approach near 100%.
  • Page 340 Print Contrast Signal (PCS). Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars and spaces of a symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.
  • Page 341 Symbol Aspect Ratio. The ratio of symbol height to symbol width. Symbol Height. The distance between the outside edges of the quiet zones of the first row and the last row. Symbol Length. Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
