 Programming

Programming
The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features stan-
dard to the interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface bar code
from the Interfaces on page 7 section, you can select other options and custom-
ize your reader through use of the instructions and programming bar codes
available in the corresponding features section for your interface and also the
Data Format on page 35 and Symbologies on page 65 chapters of this guide.

Select the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, pro-
ceed directly to "Interfaces" on page 7 for information and programming for the
interface type the reader is connected to and scan the appropriate bar code in
that section to select your system’s correct interface type.

Configure Interface Settings

The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features stan-
dard to the interface type you ordered. If after scanning the interface bar code
from the Interfaces section, your installation requires you to select options to
further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your interface
type as listed below:
• "USB-COM (RS-232 Simulated) Interface" on page 13
• "Keyboard Interface," starting on page 23
• "USB-OEM Interface," starting on page 33

Configure Other Features

If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory
default settings, the following sections of this guide allow configuration of
non-interface-specific settings you might require:

Reading Parameters: Includes general features such as programming for scanning,

beeper and LED indicators and other universal settings.

Symbologies: Includes options concerning the bar code label types (symbologies).
These settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths,
require check digit, etc.

Software Version Transmission

The software version of the device can be transmitted over the USB-COM (RS-
232) and Keyboard interfaces by scanning the following label.

Resetting the Product Configuration to Defaults
If you aren't sure what programming options are in your reader, or you've
changed some options and want to restore the Custom Default Configuration
that may have been saved in the reader, scan the Restore Custom Default Configu-
ration bar code below. This will restore the custom configuration for the cur-
rently active interface.

Custom defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the reader for the correct
interface before scanning this label.
NOTE

Restore Custom Default Configuration

If you aren't sure what programming options are in your reader, or you've
changed some options and want to restore the Factory Configuration, you have
two options. You can scan the Restore USA Factory Configuration bar code or the
Restore EU Factory Configuration bar code below. Both labels restore the reader
configuration to the factory settings including the interface type. The USA label
restores Label IDs to those historically used in the USA. The EU label restores
Label IDs to those historically used in Europe. The Label ID sets for USA and EU
are shown in the Label ID section of this guide.

Restore USA Factory Configuration

Restore EU Factory Configuration

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu
commands (indicated by shaded blocks and bold text) on the following pages.

 Chapter 3
Interfaces
Interface Selection
Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:
USB KBD
USB COM STD
USB OEM
USB Composite

Configuring 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, pro-
ceed to the corresponding chapter in this manual (also listed in Table 1) to con-
figure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.
Unlike some other 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 reader to start in the disabled state when powered
NOTE up. If additional reader configuration is desired while in this state, pull the
trigger and hold it for five seconds. The reader will change to a state that
allows programming with bar codes.

 Chapter 4
Configuration Using Bar Codes
This and following sections provide programming bar codes to configure your
reader by changing the default settings. For details about additional methods
of programming, see "Programming" on page 5.

You must first enable your reader to read bar codes in order to use this section. If you have not done
this, go to Setup, starting on page 3 and complete the appropriate procedure.
NOTE

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to
reconfigure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like "Resetting the
Product Configuration to Defaults" on page 6, require only the scan of that sin-
gle label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual,
however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scan-
ning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode.
Once the reader is in Programming Mode, you can 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 given programmable feature.
NOTE

HP Configuration Utility
Programming can alternatively be performed using the HP Configuration utility
available for download from the HP support website www.hp.com/support. This
multi-platform utility program allows device configuration using a PC. It com-
municates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configu-
ration bar codes to print.
The HP Configuration utility provides a quick and user-friendly configuration
method via the USB-COM interface. The utility allows you to program the scan-
ner by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical
interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the scanner over the
selected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be
scanned.
The utility also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the con-
nected device.

Programming Reference Guide 9

Configuration Parameters
Once the reader is set up, you can change the default parameters to meet your
application needs. Refer to "Standard Defaults" starting on page 265 for initial
configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for your
application.
The following configuration parameters are divided into logical groups, making
it easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.

Interface-specific parameters:
• "USB-COM (RS-232 Simulated) Interface" on page 13
• "Keyboard Interface" on page 23
• "USB-OEM Interface" on page 33

Parameters common to all interface applications:

• "Data Format" on page 35 control various operating modes and indicators
status functioning.
• "Reading Parameters" on page 49 gives options to control the messages
sent to the host system.

Symbology-specific parameters:
• "Symbologies" on page 65 provides configuration of a personalized mix of
1D codes, code families and their options.

You must first enable your reader to read bar codes in order to use this section. If you have not done
this, go to Setup, starting on page 3 and complete the appropriate procedure.
NOTE

To program features:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code, available at the top of each
programming page, when applicable.

2. Scan the bar code to set the desired programming feature. 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.
Additional information about many features can be found in the “References” chapter.
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.
NOTE

4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PRO-

GRAMMING bar code to exit Programming Mode.

For more detailed descriptions, programming information and examples for

setting selected configuration items, see References, starting on page 231.

 USB-COM (RS-232 Simulated) Interface
The USB-COM interface is used to simulate the operation of a “standard RS-
232” interface between scanner and host when using a USB connection. The
USB-COM interface and associated drivers on the Host allow the system to
present a virtual COM Port to an application. This port can be used by OPOS/
JavaPOS or a legacy Serial application to communicate with the scanning device.
When using the HP OPOS or JavaPOS drivers, certain configurable scanner set-
tings should not be changed to ensure proper operation. The user should not
change the label identifiers, host command characters, or enable ACK/NAK
protocol in USB-COM when using the drivers.
The programming bar codes in this chapter allow modifications to the standard
USB-COM interface.

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" on
page 38) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually per Sym-
bology" on page 39). 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 37.

Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Shown is the USA set
and the EU set. See "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets" on page 244 for more informa-
tion concerning the pre-loaded sets that are provided.
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader con-
figuration settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and

Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one char-
acter and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero
(0) to 990 milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no
delay.

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 Program-

ming Mode.

4. Scan the bar code: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING on page 14.

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 indication 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.

Data Editing

Data Editing Overview

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 features in
this chapter 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 symbol-
ogies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 3 shows the available elements
you can add to a message string:

Figure 3. Breakdown of a Message String

Label ID Transmission:
Enable this option to
transmit the Label ID you
configure for the scanned
symbology.
OR...

Prefix Label ID AIM ID Bar Code Data Label ID Suffix

AIM ID: This function is used to identify and display the

common label identifier for its symbology. When enabled,
this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar
code data.
00 - 20 Characters (ASCII)

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced Formatting

features in the HP USB Scanner Configuration and Firmware Utility.
NOTE

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing
is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced
users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies on page 65
chapter for these settings) across all symbologies (set via the Global fea-
tures in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart on page 295 (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 output.

Programming Reference Guide 241

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 indi-
cated in Figure 4.

Example: Setting a Prefix

In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code

data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX bar code.

4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find
the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex
number for the ‘$’ character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the
‘2’ and ‘4’ bar codes from Appendix D, Keypad.
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.
NOTE

5. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT bar code to terminate the string.

6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.

7. The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data:12345

Resulting message string output: $12345
This option sets up to 20 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or
any hex value from 00 to FF. To configure this feature, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar
code to place the unit in Programming Mode, then the “Set Global Prefix” or “Set
Global Suffix,” bar code followed by the digits (in hex) from the Alphanumeric
characters in Appendix D, Keypad representing your desired character(s). If less
than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar
code to terminate the string. Reference the section, "Example: Setting a Prefix" on
page 242, for more information. Exit programming mode by scanning the
ENTER/EXIT bar code once again.

Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology
To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:

1. 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 39. Reference Figure 6 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, starting on
page 40.

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 page 295 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 281 and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters deter-
mined. For the example given, the characters ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be
scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are provided in Table 14.
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.
NOTE

6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to exit Label ID entry.

7. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code once again to exit Programming Mode.

Set Global Mid Label ID Character(s)
Specifies a mid-label ID that is added for transmission between the labels of a
two label pair. The expected string is a maximum of 20 characters. When com-
bining two label pairs into a single label for transmission to the host, this label
ID can be added to the data, following the first label and preceding the second
label. To set this feature...

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

2. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to twenty) which

will represent the Mid Label ID for two label pairs. If the first character is
00, then nothing is added between the two labels.

3. Turn to the ASCII Chart on page 295 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 the characters ‘M’, ‘I’ and ‘D’ as a Label
ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 4D4944. Turn to
Keypad, starting on page 281 and scan the bar codes representing the hex
characters determined. For the example given, the characters ‘4’, ‘D’, ‘4’,
‘9’, ‘4’ and ‘4’ would be scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are
provided in Table 14.
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.
NOTE

4. The reader will save the string and exit Programming Mode when...
• the ENTER/EXIT baqr code is scanned a second time, or
• the hex values for all twenty available characters have been entered, or
• the first 00 hex value entered terminates the string.
This completes the steps to configure a Global Mid Label ID for two label pairs

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 cap-
ital 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.

248 Programming Reference Guide

 Data Editing

The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were con-
verted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since
they are all FF.

To set Character Conversion:

1. 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.

If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected,

scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code twice to accept the selections
and exit Programming Mode.

Trigger Hold Multiple : When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the prod-
uct scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time on page 62 has
elapsed. Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout on page
50 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple: When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is acti-
vated until Scanning Active Time on page 62 has elapsed or the trigger has been
released and pulled again. Double Read Timeout on page 50 prevents undesired
multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Flashing: The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash
rate is controlled by Flash On Time on page 63 and Flash Off Time on page 64. When
Flash is ON the reader reads continuously. When Flash is OFF scanning is deac-
tivated.

Always On: No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is continu-
ally on. Double Read Timeout on page 50 prevents undesired multiple reads while
in this mode.

Autosense® Stand Mode: No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning
is turned on automatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the
trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout
on page 50 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.

Symbology Settings

Decoding Levels
Decoding Levels are used to configure a bar code symbology decoder to be very
aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of
not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive
behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the
expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of prod-
uct labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a
particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/
space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some bar code
labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be
decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more
aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a
need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to
a more conservative level.

256 Programming Reference Guide

 Symbology Settings

 LED and Beeper Indications

LED and Beeper Indications

The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various func-
tions or errors on the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful
functions. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behav-
iors 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.

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, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.

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 346).

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.
