  • Page 9: Reread Delay

    Reread Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the imager can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing rereads in POS (Point Of Sale) applications. Use shorter delays for applications where repetitive scanning is required.

  • Page 10: User-Specified Good Read Delay

    User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from Appendix D, then scanning Save. Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger You can activate the imager either by providing an external hardware trigger, or using a serial trigger command.

  • Page 11: Manual Trigger, Low Power

    Manual Trigger, Low Power The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time Out bar code below.

  • Page 12: Presentation Mode

    Presentation Mode This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code.

  • Page 13: Led Power Level

    LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the default) is the brightest setting. If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay), the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level.

  • Page 14: Imager Time Out

    Imager Time Out Imager Time Out powers down the imager after the unit has been idle for the specified time. To prevent the imager from powering down, set this time out to 0. Scan the bar code below, then set the time out by scanning digits (from 0 - 999,999 ms) from Appendix D, then scanning Save.
  • Page 15 Centering Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white area is the centering window.
  • Page 16 - 16 -...

  • Page 17: Decode Search Mode

    Decode Search Mode There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes: Full Omnidirectional (default) - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation.

  • Page 18: Output Sequence Overview

    Output Sequence Overview Require Output Sequence When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the Imager decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the Imager will not transmit the output data to the host device.

  • Page 19: Output Sequence Example

    Output Sequence Example In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the imager to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below. Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example. You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line: SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF The breakdown of the command line is shown below:...
  • Page 20 Output Sequence Editor Require Output Sequence When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the imager transmits all output data to the host device as is.

  • Page 21: Multiple Symbols

    Multiple Symbols Note: This feature does not work when the Imager is in Low Power mode. When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the Imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the Imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read.

  • Page 22: Print Weight

    Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If a imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light printing, a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the Set Print Weight bar code, set the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from Appendix D, then scanning Save.

  • Page 24: Data Editing

    Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

  • Page 25: To Clear One Or All Prefixes Or Suffixes

    To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C. Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself. Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving. Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

  • Page 26: Function Code Transmit

    Function Code Transmit When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Default = Enable. - 26 -...

  • Page 27: Intercharacter, Interfunction, And Intermessage Delays

    Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

  • Page 28: Interfunction Delay

    Interfunction Delay An interfunction delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string. Scan the Interfunction Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart (Appendix D) Interfunction Delays...

  • Page 29: Data Formatting

    Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output.

  • Page 30: Other Programming Selections

    Other Programming Selections • Clear One Data Format This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart (Appendix D). If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D.

    OCR Programming - 78 -...
  • Page 79 Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The 8 digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR On codes listed below.

  • Page 80: Semi Font

    U.S. Currency U.S. Currency On allows you to scan characters in the font used on U.S. currency. The default setting allows you to scan any 8 digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned. MICR E13 B MICR E13 B On allows you to scan MICR characters on a bank check.

  • Page 81: Creating An Ocr Template

    Creating OCR Templates You can create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable.

  • Page 82: Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating "Or" Statements)

    hex codes for letters A, B, and C To create this template, you would scan the Enter OCR Template symbol, scan the d from the Sample Symbols (see Appendix D) 3 times, scan 414243 from Appendix D (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), then scan the d from Appendix D 3 more times.

  • Page 83: Creating A User-Defined Variable

    9902XZ50 You can string together as many templates as you need. Creating a User-Defined Variable You can create up to two of your own user variables for an OCR template. These variables will represent any OCR readable characters. The user-defined variables are stored under the letters “g” and “h.” Creating a user variable follows the same steps as creating a template, but instead of scanning the Enter OCR Template symbol, you scan the Enter User-Defined Variable symbol .

  • Page 84: Adding An Ocr Check Character

    Adding an OCR Check Character You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the security of your OCR application. The OEM Engine can be programmed for almost any type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common check character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).

  • Page 85: Exit Selections

    OCR Modulo 36 Character Set Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36 checksum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z. OCR Modulo 36 Check Character OCR Template Codes Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the factory if you have an application that requires reading 4 or more rows of OCR.

  • Page 86: Show Software Revision

    To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart, included in the Appendix A, for the single character code that identifies each symbology.) This action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D.

  • Page 87: Temporary Quick*View Configuration

    Test Menu When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this manual, the imager displays the content of a programming code. The programming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that programming code is output to the terminal. Note: This feature should not be used during normal imager operation.
