Chapter 4 SSI Interface Introduction When connected to a a Simple Serial Interface (SSI) host, program the digital scanner via bar code menu or SSI host commands. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks ( ) indicate default values. Baud Rate 9600 Feature/Option Indicates Default (06h)
4 - 2 Symbol DS9808-R Product Reference Guide Supplement Simple Serial Interface Default Parameters Table 4-1 lists the defaults for the SSI host. There are two ways to change the default values: • Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory.
SSI Interface 4 - 3 SSI Host Parameters Baud Rate Parameter # 9Ch Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the digital scanner's baud rate to match the data rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host or may reach it in distorted form. To enable the SSI host, scan the appropriate baud rate bar code that matches the baud rate setting of the host device.
4 - 4 Symbol DS9808-R Product Reference Guide Supplement Parity Parameter # 9Eh 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 to a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an odd number of 1 bits.
SSI Interface 4 - 5 Check Parity Parameter # 97h Select whether or not to check the parity of received characters. Use the Parity parameter to select the type of parity. Check Parity (01h) Do Not Check Parity (00h) Software Handshaking Parameter # 9Fh This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to that offered by hardware handshaking.
4 - 6 Symbol DS9808-R Product Reference Guide Supplement Host RTS Line State Parameter # 9Ah This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, you can also use the digital scanner in a "scan-and-transmit"...
SSI Interface 4 - 7 Host Serial Response Time-out Parameter # 9Bh This parameter specifies how long the digital scanner waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the digital scanner wants to send, and the host was already granted permission to send, the digital scanner waits for the designated time-out before declaring an error.
4 - 8 Symbol DS9808-R Product Reference Guide Supplement Host Character Time-out Parameter # EFh This parameter determines the maximum time the digital scanner waits between characters transmitted by the host before discarding the received data and declaring an error.
SSI Interface 4 - 9 Multipacket Option Parameter # F0h, 4Eh This parameter controls ACK/NAK handshaking for multi-packet transmissions. • Multi-Packet Option 1: The host sends an ACK / NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet transmission. • Multi-Packet Option 2: The digital scanner sends data packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK handshaking to pace the transmission.
4 - 10 Symbol DS9808-R Product Reference Guide Supplement Interpacket Delay Parameter # F0h, 4Fh This parameter specifies the interpacket delay when Multipacket Option 3 is selected. To set the delay period (options are 0, 25, 50, 75, or 99 ms), scan one of the following bar codes.
SSI Interface 4 - 11 Event Reporting The host can request the digital scanner to provide certain information (events) relative to the digital scanner’s behavior. Enable or disable the events listed in Table 4-2 and on the following pages by scanning the appropriate bar codes.
4 - 12 Symbol DS9808-R Product Reference Guide Supplement Boot Up Event Parameter # F0h, 02h When enabled, the digital scanner generates a message to the host when power is applied. When disabled, no notification is sent. Enable Boot Up Event...
Chapter 5 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF to edit scan data to suit requirements. Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes which program the digital scanner with ADF rules.
