Custom Sensors Model CCD8000 Scanner
Introduction
The Model CCD8000 Scanner is designed for Point of Sale or Office use. Three interfaces
are provided. The Keyboard Wedge interface connects between a PC keyboard and the
computer console. When scanned, the characters in the barcode appear as though they
were typed on the keyboard. The USB interface behaves like the keyboard wedge, except it
connects to the computer through its USB port, rather than the keyboard port. The RS-232
interface can be connected to a Com: port on a PC or any other device with an EIA/TIA RS-
232C interface.
The Scanner has a wide reading aperture and is designed to operate in contact with, or
close to, the barcode symbol being scanned. The scanner can be up to ¾ inch from the
code. When the switch is pressed, the light source illuminates the barcode. The code is
read and decoded, a beeper sounds and the indicator light flashes. The illumination is then
extinguished. This process normally takes less than a second .
The unit will read barcodes up to 3 inches long. Most common linear barcode symbologies
are supported, including EAN/UPC, Code39, Code128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, Indus-
trial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, DataLogic 2 of 5, Code93, IATA, MSI/Plessey, and Code11.
Installation
The three standard interfaces, Keyboard Wedge, USB and RS-232 are accomplished
through the use of seperate cable assemblies. When a unit is ordered with one of these inter-
faces, the proper cable assembly is shipped with the unit. The cable assemblies contain a
telephone-type connector, which mates with a connector at the rear of the scanner. It is pos-
sible to change the scanner's interface by changing the cable. Cables are available from
Custom Sensors.
The Keyboard Wedge Interface.
The model with the keyboard wedge interface connects between the keyboard and the
console of the computer. This model is available with two types of connectors; the 5-pin
DIN or the 6-pin mini-DIN. Both units connect in the same manner. Turn off power to the
computer. Unplug the keyboard cable. Plug the keyboard cable into the female connector
on the scanner cable. Plug the male connector on the scanner cable into the computer
keyboard connection. The scanner derives its power from the computer, so no external
power supply is necessary. Turn on the Computer. The scanner should emit an audible
tone.
To test the installation, start an application on the computer, such as a word processor,
that displays characters typed on the keyboard. Review the section on Using CCD Scan-
ners, later in this manual, if necessary. Scan the barcode below. The scanner should emit

Plug in the unit with the computer running. The USB model uses Human Interface Device Drivers that are built into any operating system that supports USB.
- Page 3 Using CCD Scanners The CCD Scanner reads barcodes through the elongated front opening in the scanner. The scanner is normally placed on the code so that the code is centered in this opening. When the button on the bottom of the scanner is pushed, the scanner light source is switched on and illuminates the barcode.
- Page 4 TROUBLESHOOTING The following items illustrate common problems encountered in the initial installation of the CCD Scanner. Common Scanning Problems A barcode will not read, no tone is heard or indicator does not flash. Make sure that the barcode is not wider than the scanner opening. Remember, the width of the code also includes quiet zones, equal to 10 times the width of a narrow bar, at each end of the code.

Scanner Configuration Introduction The Custom Sensors CCD8000 Series scanners can be configured by scanning the barcodes in this manual. There are four special barcodes that are used in the configuration process. These are the Start, End, Abort and Set codes. These codes appear at the top of every even page so that they are readily available at any point in the configuration process. - Page 8 START ABORT START ABORT The Scanner Communications Settings. The scanner has three communications methods. The Default is Keyboard Wedge inter- face. The USB interface is actually a PS/2 to USB converter attached to a Keybaard Wedge scanner, so it should be treated as a Keyboard Wedge interface. The other is RS- 232.
- Page 9 The wedge can send alpha characters as either upper case or lower case. Default is lower case. This does not apply to full ASCII codes, such as Extended Code 39 or Code 128. Upper Lower The number keys option controls whether the wedge sends numbers as the keys on the top row of the keyboard (Default), or as the keypad keys.
- Page 10 START ABORT START ABORT RS-232 Parameters To set the Scanner to RS-232 communications, scan the code below. Note that in order for the scanner to function in this mode it must be equipped with the RS-232 cable and will also require an external power supply. To return to the keyboard wedge mode, scan the “Return to Wedge”...
- Page 11 Select a Handshaking protocol. These protocols involve the use of the RTS and CTS control signals. Select None if RTS/CTS will not be used. RTS will be driven high (True) when the scanner is powered on. The CTS line will be used to control data transmission. That is, data will only be transmitted when CTS is true.
- Page 12 START ABORT START ABORT General Parameters This Section sets some general configuration parameters that are independent of the type of interface being used. Select a Terminator Character(s) to be used in the data transmission. The terminator is always transmitted last and indicates the end of transmission. In RS-232 a CR (Carriage Return) is most often used.
- Page 13 Code 11 Code 128 MSI/Plessey Up to a 10 character long Preamble and Postamble may be specified as part of the data transmission. The Preamble field is transmitted before the barcode data. The Postamble field will be transmitted after the barcode data. If an ID character is specified the default order of transmission will be: Preamble Field - Code ID Character - Barcode Data - Postamble Field - Terminator Character(s).
- Page 14 START ABORT START ABORT Trigger On / Good Read Off - The trigger switch controls the start of the reading process. When the trigger is pressed, the light source is turned on. When a good read is achieved, the light is turned off and the data is transmitted. If a read has not been made within 3 seconds, the light is turned off and no transmission is made.

The standard version encodes the numbers 0 thru 9, the upper case letters A thru Z and the characters: space, -, ., *, $, /, + and %.

For example, for a length of 10, the Hexadecimal number would be 0A. Next, turn to Appendix C. Scan the barcode for 0, then the code for A.
- Page 23 Specific Code 11 Parameters Code 11 can be printed with either one or two check digits. The check digits are never transmitted.
