    1. Aim the scanner at the PDF bar code and press the trigger. 2. Hold the trigger down and keep the scan line parallel to the rows of the symbol. 3. Manually raster the scan line by slowly moving the scanner up and down so it scans the entire bar code.
  • Page 33: Aiming

    Scanning 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 55° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-3).

  • Page 93: 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 94 LS 4008i 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 95: 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 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 96 LS 4008i 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 97: 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 Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission.
  • Page 98: Rts Line State

    LS 4008i Product Reference Guide Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.9 Sec RTS Line State This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state.
  • Page 99: 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.

Baud Rate A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second.
  • Page 376 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 377 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 378 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 379 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 380 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.
