Page 21: Chapter 1. Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The LS 2100-I100, LS 2108-I000, and LS 2108-E000 scanners combine excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time.
Page 22: Setting Up The Scanner
Getting Started Setting Up the Scanner Installing the Interface Cable 1. Plug the interface cable modular connector into the cable interface port on the bottom of the scanner handle. (See Figure 1-2.) 2. Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is properly secured. 3.
Page 23: Connecting Power (If Required)
LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide Connecting Power (if required) If your host does not provide power to the scanner, you will need an external power connection to the scanner: 1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3.
Page 24: Connecting A Synapse Cable Interface
Note: See the Synapse Interface Guide provided with your Synapse cable for detailed setup instructions. Symbol’s Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable has the built-in intelligence to detect the host to which it is connected.

Page 29: Led Definitions
LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide LED Definitions In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning. Table 2-2. Standard LED Definitions Indication No power is applied to the scanner, or the scanner is on and ready to scan.
Page 30: Scanning In Hand-Held Mode
1. Ensure all connections are secure. (Refer to the host chapter for your scanner.) 2. Aim the scanner at the bar code. If your scanner has a trigger, aim and press the trigger. 3. Ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol. WRONG RIGHT...
Page 31: Aiming
LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-3).
Page 32: Scanning In Hands-Free Mode
3. To scan a bar code, present the bar code and ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol. The scan beam becomes steady when the scanner detects the bar code.
Page 33 LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide 4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green.

Chapter 4 User Preferences Introduction You have the option to program the LS 2108 scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for your LS 2108 scanner.
Page 43: Scanning Sequence Examples
LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide If you are not using a Synapse or USB cable you must select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information). After you hear the power-up beeps, select a host type. This only needs to be done once, upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

Page 50: Chapter 5. Keyboard Wedge Interface
Chapter 5 Keyboard Wedge Interface Introduction This chapter covers Keyboard Wedge interface information for setting up your scanner. This interface type is used to attach the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originate from the keyboard.

Page 86: Hardware Handshaking
RS-232 Interface Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available.
Page 87 LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS.
Page 88: Software Handshaking
RS-232 Interface 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 2 seconds (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 89 LS2100/LS2108 Product Reference Guide ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 90: Host Serial Response Time-Out
RS-232 Interface XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to 2 seconds for an XON character before transmission.
Page 91: Rts Line State

Page 92: Stop Bit Select
RS-232 Interface 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. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate.

Bar Height The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width. Bar Width Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar. Baud Rate A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second.
Page 335 Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology. Check Digit A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies.
Page 336 Continuous Code A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Page 337 Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations from this value. Nominal Size Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal). Parameter A variable that can have different values assigned to it.
Page 338 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 339 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.
