Introduction
Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of
the instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features
section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in
"Configuration Parameters" starting on page 19.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 18, require only the scan of
the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in
Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter
Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of
parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will
then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal
operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described

above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin allows you to program
the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface
running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication
interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned. Aladdin also facilitates image
capturing.
In addition, Aladdin makes it easy to upgrade the handheld’s firmware, to attain the benefits
of new reader features. Reference the Datalogic Aladdin™ Online Help for more details.
Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website.

Interface Selection
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to
Table 1 on page 15 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232,
Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate bar code in that section to configure
your system’s correct interface type.
Setting the Interface

Scan the programming bar code from this section which selects the appropriate interface
type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the
corresponding section in this manual (also listed in Table 1 on page 15) to configure any
desired settings and features associated with that interface.
Interface Selection
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections

require that you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT
scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scanning an interface selection bar
code.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state when
powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this
state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will
change to a state that allows programming with bar codes.

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (convert to Hex using the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual), used to identify a bar code symbology
type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon
how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs or
individually per symbology (see "Individually Set Label ID" on page 53). If you wish to program the
reader to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the
previous feature "Global AIM ID" on page 49.
See Label ID, starting on page 217 of “References” for more information on setting this feature.
Label ID: Pre-Loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. See Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets, starting on page
217 for details on the USA set and EU set.
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader
configuration settings, including the host interface type, will be
erased and set to the standard factory defaults. Any custom config-
uration or custom defaults will be lost.

Image capature is supported by RS-232 and USB-COM interfaces only. For information
and a list of options for Image Capture, use the Datalogic Aladdin configuration
application, available for free download from the Datalogic Scanning website.
MULTIPLE LABEL READING

In standard (default) mode, when the reader’s aiming system is activated (by a trigger pull,
motion or other method depending on the mode), it then acquires and processes each image
in the area in front of it (the Volume). In this case, the scanner stops processing the image
once it decodes a label. If several labels are present in the volume, only the first label
encountered is decoded and sent.
When Multiple Reading Mode is enabled, the scanner keeps on processing the image until
all the labels present are decoded. The reader then sorts the data from all the bar codes (if
configured to do so) before transmitting it.
Multiple Labels per Frame

Specifies the ability of the reader to decode and transmit a set of code labels in a specific
volume and in a single frame of time. When in Multiple Labels per Frame the reader beeps
and turns on the good read LED indication for each code read in a frame.
When Multiple Labels Mode is enabled, ISBT pairing, ABC Codabar pairing, and
composites are not allowed.

2D Global Features
The following features are common to all, or in some cases, most of the available 2D
symbologies. Default settings are indicated at each feature/option with a green arrow. Also
reference Appendix C, Standard Defaults for a listing of the most widely used set of standard
factory settings. That section also provides space to record any custom settings needed or
implemented for your system.
To set most features:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code at the top of applicable pro-
gramming pages.
2. Scan the correct bar code to set the desired programming feature or parameter. You
may need to cover unused bar codes on the page, and possibly the facing page, to
ensure that the reader reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. If additional input parameters are needed, go to Appendix D, Keypad, and scan the
appropriate characters from the keypad.

RS-232 Parameters
RS-232 Only
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to
match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate setting, data may
not reach the host correctly.
Stop Bits
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. Set the number of stop bits to match host device
requirements.
Parity
This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity check bit is the
most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.
• Select None when no parity bit is required.
• Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that
an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
• Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that
an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
Handshaking Control
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). Handshaking
Control includes the following options:
• RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and
XOFF gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions
and controls enable and disable state of scanner.

RS-232 Parameters
RS-232/USB COM Parameters
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.

2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with
leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Go to page 29 and scan the bar code: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SET-
TING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that represent
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.

This completes the procedure. See Table 25 for some examples of how to set this feature.

ACK NAK Options

This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol.
When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly,
and sends “NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:
• Disable
• Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the
host when a label is sent.
• Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK
when the host sends a command.
• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge
ACK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host com-

mands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not
recognized when the option Data Bits has been set as 7 Data Bits.
1. Determine the desired character or value.

2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent
for the desired character/value.
3. Go to page 31 and scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE to enter Program-
ming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT ACK CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric characters from the keypad in Appendix D, Key-
pad, that represent the desired character/value in step 1 above. The second character
will cause a two-beep indication.

Data Editing
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.
CAUTION
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along
with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined
data is called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific
user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies. Figure 1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisti-
cated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default
settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.

Data Editing
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference 1D

Symbologies, starting on page 79 or 2D Symbologies, starting on page 169 ) or across all sym-
bologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover
of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the out-
put.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data)
and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 2.

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex
0x01-0xFF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or
following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This
feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID:
Pre-loaded Sets" below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per
Symbology" on page 220). If you wish to program the reader to always include an industry
standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see "Global AIM ID" on page 49.
Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 35 shows the USA and the EU
sets.
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configu-
ration settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to
the standard factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults
will be lost.

Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology

To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:
1. Go to page 53 and scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE (Enable as Prefix) or AFTER (Enable as
suffix) by scanning the appropriate bar code in the section "Label ID Control" on page 53.
Reference Figure 4 for Label ID positioning options if multiple identification features
are enabled.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom
Label ID from the section "Label ID Symbology Selection − 1D Symbologies" on page 54.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent
the Label ID for the selected symbology.
5. Turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent
hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select
an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D.
Turn to Keypad, starting on page 259 and scan the bar codes representing the hex charac-
ters determined. For the example given, the characters ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be scanned.

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character
pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character
that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the
character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and
the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs
are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion:
BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2
characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 58 and scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above
example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find
the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix D, Keypad and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters
determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to exit Programming Mode.
EXIT bar code twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.

Scan Mode
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation. Selects the scan operating
mode for the reader. The following selections are valid for all models:
Trigger Single: When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following
occurs:
- Scanning Active Time has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
Trigger Hold Multiple: When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans
until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does not
disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label
while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple: When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated until
Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again. Double Read
Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Flashing: The reader flashes on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is
controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the imager reads
continuously; when Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.
Always On: No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is continually on. If the
trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read Timeout
prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode: No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is turned on
automatically when an item is placed in the reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads
while in this mode.

Multiple Labels Ordering by Code Symbology

This feature Specifies the transmission ordering by symbology type, when Multiple Labels
per Frame is enabled.Up to six symbologies can be selected. Zeroes must be added to pad the
string to 12 characters if not using all six symbologies.
The labels are ordered first as specified in the output mask. Labels present in the volume but
not specified will be transmitted as unspecified symbologies in random order as allowed by
the reading time sequence. For each label decoded in the volume the reader signals the
standard beeper and LED indications.
To specify the symbology order:
1. Determine the symbologies and order you want to specify.

LED and Beeper Indications
LED and Beeper Indications

The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors
on the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The tables below
list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s
functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain
indications such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.

If you want to restore the Factory Configuration for your imager, scan either the Restore
USA Factory Configuration bar code or the Restore EU Factory Configuration bar code
below. Both labels restore the scanner configuration to the factory settings, including the
interface type.
Scanning either of the “Restore Factory Configuration” commands

below will result in the loss of any custom configuration settings for your
device. Go to Restore Custom Defaults on page 18 if you want to restore
custom configuration settings.
CAUTION

Scancode Tables
Control Character Emulation

Control character emulation selects from different scancode tables as listed in this appendix.
Each of the control character sets below are detailed by interface type in the tables. These
apply to Wedge and USB Keyboard platforms.
Control Character 00 . Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Keys,
Control Character 01 . Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Capital
Key, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.
Control Character 02 . Special keys are located from 00 to 0x1F and characters from 0x80 to
0xFE are intended as an extended ASCII table (Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 — See
page -268.)
Single Press and Release Keys

In the following tables, Ar↓ means Alt right pressed and Ar↑ means Alt right released and so
on. Definitions for other keys are Al (Alt left ), Cr (Control Right ) Cl (Control Left ) Sh
(shift). This method can be used for combining Alt, Control or Shift with other keys.
Example: Consider a Control character set to 00. If AltRight+A is required before sending a
label to the host, it could be done by setting three Prefix keys in this way: 0x99 0x41 0x9A.
