TS-250 Cordless Image Scanner

User Manual

Version: TS-250_UM_EN_V3.1.12
Notice
Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scanner is able to
perform at the level for which it is designed.
1. All software, including firmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.
2. The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or
design.
3. The material in this manual is subject to change without notice.
4. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise
from the use of this manual.
5. A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle, a USB cable, an antenna, and a CD-ROM
(containing software and electrical manuals).
6. Do not throw or drop the scanner or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the
scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper
operation.
7. Use a blunt object to operate the stroke keys. Use of a sharp pointed object can damage stroke
keys and cause shorting of internal circuitry.
8. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating
the scanner while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to avoid
conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it dries
completely before using the scanner.
9. The scanner offers two kinds of wireless network topology: point coordination and distributed
coordination. The default setting of wireless network topology is point coordination. To change
the wireless network topology, you must change the setting of both handheld unit and cradle.
10. The scanners within same working area must apply the same wireless network topology.
11. When the point coordination wireless network topology is used, if multi-clusters are working in the
same area, then each cluster must use a different radio frequency channel. Both of the handheld
unit and cradle must be configured individually.
12. When the distributed coordination wireless network topology is used, if multi-clusters are working in
the same area, it is strongly recommended that different radio frequency channel numbers are
applied to different clusters. While setting up, only the radio frequency channel number of the first
handheld unit of a single cluster is required to be set. When the first handheld unit binds to the
cradle, the cradle will automatically obtain the radio frequency channel number of the handheld unit.
The consecutive joined handheld units will automatically obtain the radio frequency channel number
of the cradle.
13. In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, when in multi-clusters working mode, the
physical space between two cradles is required to be at least 2 meters.
14. In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, it is recommended to place the cradle on
a higher location, generally more than 1 meter above the ground. If working outdoor, the higher
location the better.

User can customize a QR code barcode to set multiple parameters. The scanner can set multiple
parameters by scanning this single QR code barcode.

1. The data format of the QR code barcode is as following.

% Parameter set 1 % Parameter set 2 % ··· Parameter set N %

<Option barcode index><D/H><Alpha. entries>

Note that:
 <Option barcode index> means the corresponding 4 digits of Option barcode.
 <D/H> means “D” or “H” character. D means that the type of alphanumeric entry is decimal; and H
means that the type of alphanumeric entry is hexadecimal.
 <Alpha. entries> is a character string with various length of 2, 4, or other values.
Example: Set 0401->03 (decimal); 8002->0D0A (hexadecimal); 8202->01 (decimal). The customized
QR code barcode contents and symbol are as following.

3-3 Description of point coordination and distributed coordination wireless
network
Notes:
1. In this section, “cluster” denotes an association of a cradle and a number of handheld units.
2. In this section, “RF” is the abbreviation for “radio frequency”.

The scanner offers two kinds of wireless network topology: point coordination and distributed
coordination.
Point coordination topology: This network topology employs TDM/FDM integrated technique.
Different cluster operates in different frequency, suitable for a place where mass data transmission
at short intervals is in need. This network topology utilizes a token communication scheme.
When working as a cluster, the cradle talks to the associated handheld units one by one. Only one
handheld unit can transmit data to the cradle at a time. One single cluster can support up to 16
handheld units. Warning message will be given when the radio communication is out of working
range. Due to an operating cradle occupies one selected frequency channel all the time, thus the
radio signal generated does interfere the nearby instruments which adapt the same frequency, such
as a remote controller of a garage door.
Distributed coordination topology: This network topology employs TDM technique. Different
cluster can operate either in the same frequency or in different frequency. One single cluster can
support up to 16 handheld units. In the same working area it supports multiple clusters and up to
2000 handheld units operating simultaneously. An operating cradle only occupy the selected
frequency channel during data transmitting, so it will not interfere the nearby instruments which
adapt the same frequency.
Switch between point coordination topology and distributed coordination topology can be done by
scanning corresponding configuration barcode. Note that both cradle and associated handheld units
must be configured.
The handheld unit should be placed in the cradle for power charging. It is suggested to prepare an
individual cradle for power charging purpose if working as a cluster.

3-3-1 Sketch map of point coordination operating mode

The scanner utilizes 430.5 ～ 432.0 MHz, 433.05 ～ 434.79 MHz RF wireless communication with
LR-433-WPAN wireless communication protocol. LR-433-WPAN protocol first time introduces
self-adaptive frequency hopping technique. With this new protocol, a cordless scanner is able to pick
up a high-quality RF channel from a cluster of channels in terms of consolidated communication.
LR-433-WPAN protocol supports up to 256 handheld units (16 handheld-units/cradle x 16 cradle = 256)
within the same effective communication range. A maximum circle of poll time for one cradle with 16
handheld units is 1 second, while the poll time for one cradle with one handheld unit is less than 0.1
second.

3-4-1 Point coordination wireless communication setting for handheld unit

Wireless network topology for handheld unit: There are two kinds of wireless network topology that can
be employed: point coordination and distributed coordination.
Handheld unit RF channel No.: The scanner offers 16 different radio frequency channels for the data
transmission between handheld unit and cradle. The number of channel can be increased.
Handheld unit ID: The scanner offers 16 different handheld unit IDs.
Example: to set a handheld unit to work on channel 2 with ID 15 by single-scan setting.
Steps: Scan the following barcodes in order.

Radio power level for handheld unit: By selecting, you can change the radio power level for handheld
unit.
Frequency hopping: If it is enabled, the scanner is able to pick up a higher-performance radio frequency
channel from a group of channels in terms of consolidated communication.
Batch data mode:
Disable- Do not batch data. The handheld unit attempts to transmit every scanned barcode. If the
transmission is failed, the barcode data is ignored.
Out-of-range batch- The handheld unit starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a
remote device (for example, when a user holding the handheld unit walks out of range). Data
transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the cradle (for example, when a user
holding the handheld unit walks back into range).
Standard batch- The handheld unit starts storing barcode data after “%%%EBM” (Enter Batch Mode)
is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning “%%%SBD” (Send Batch Data).
In Out-of-range batch or Standard batch modes, calculate the number of barcodes the handheld unit
can store as follows:
Number of storable barcodes = 16,384 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the barcode + 2).
Beep on reconnect attempt: This feature is active only when the Out-of-range batch operating mode is
selected. If this feature is enabled, the beeper emits 4 short beeps every 5 seconds while the
reconnection attempt is in progress.
Radio connection checking interval: This feature is active only when the Out-of-range batch operating
mode is selected. The handheld unit checks the radio communication with the cradle once within the
time interval.
Save data at low-battery or power-off: If it is enabled, the handheld unit will save data to memory while
the battery is low or before the power is off.
Low battery indicator: If it is enabled, while the power is low, the power LED on the handheld unit flashes
15
5 times, and the beeper emits 5 beepers for every 10 minutes or 200 scans. In this battery low status,
the power LED flashes 2 times by pulling the scanner trigger.
Enter sleeping mode interval: If it is enabled, the handheld unit will enter sleeping mode while no
operation beyond the time interval defined; the handheld unit will return to normal mode by pulling the
scanner trigger.
Enter transmitting data mode interval: There is no continuous scanning motion time interval of before the
domination handheld unit entering the barcode transmission status. By default when out of range, if
there is barcode data awaiting transmission, the handheld unit will try to transmit data to the cradle after
no scanning motion occurs for 5 seconds. This can avoid conflict between transmission of barcode data
and scanning barcode motion requested by user.
VALID/INVALID/LOCK/UNLOCK protocol: If enabled, the host will validate the data after receiving data
from the connected cradle. The host will send VALID/INVALID/LOCK instruction to the cradle after
validating the data and the cradle will divert the instruction to the associated handheld unit. The
handheld unit will give different audio and visual indication depending on the instruction received from
the cradle.
Note that 1 handheld unit is paired with 1 cradle/base unit to work in this mode is suggested, because
some pauses may be obvious before data validation.
When a LOCK instruction is received, the decoding function of handheld unit is deactivated and will be
reactivated until the receipt of a UNLOCK instruction. The sketch map is shown below:

The cradle will also keep waiting for the command packet sent from the host PC after sending the
barcode data to the host PC. If there is no command packet received within the defined interval, the
base unit / cradle and the handheld unit will enter the lock state, and the handheld unit keeps flashing the

3-6 Keyboard wedge interface for cradle
Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM
terminals.
Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts.
Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or
scanner, with the period between 60us to 100us.
Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occasions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port
would require a free time gap following the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt).
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key- The scanner will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key- The scanner will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’,
‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only).
Alt + keypad- The scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad). Note
that the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with
different national keyboard layout.
Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates
keyboard timing and passes keyboard present status to the PC during power-on.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised
of three or above bytes.
Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data.
Caps Lock reversion: By setting enable, the status of Caps Lock key (i.e. being pressed ON or OFF) on
the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status.
Caps Lock override: If this function is enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the
state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state
of the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.

A guide of setting while the scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host
If some characters are missed or some additional characters are incorrectly displayed on the host,
set the Inter-byte delay (0208) to be “01” or greater value.
If some capital character (e.g. “A”) or compound-key-characters (e.g.“shift+”, “Ctrl＋”, “Alt+”）are
displayed incorrectly, set the Delay-after-compound-key to be “01” or greater value.
If some digits are incorrectly displayed as some symbol characters (e.g. “1” and “2” are displayed
incorrectly as “!” and “@”), set the Clock period (0203) to be greater value (e.g. 04, 05).

3-7 RS-232 interface for cradle
Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal
first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication.
If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout duration, the scanner will
issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle: High RTS), the scanner can
be set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
XON/XOFF-An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON
character.
ACK/NAK-After transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not
acknowledge) 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.
Inter-character delay: Refer to Inter-character delay of 3-6 Keyboard wedge for cradle.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the scanner when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.

scanning when no code is successful decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the scan
operation should be interrupted for delay time or the focus of the scanner must be moved away from the
barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”,
then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm
a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of
decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the
maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the
same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode
decoded.
Notes:
1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.
3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13,
EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting
one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to 3-42 G1-G6 & C1-C2
& FN1 substitution string setting and 3-43 G1-G4 string position & Code ID position.
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.
All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and
66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces

35
in different scale.
Character output restraint:
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only,
i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric
characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This
function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can
store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay
elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the
scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after
stopping scanning.
Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character
from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and
Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters (e.g. domestic language), it
maybe because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is
different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one.

barcode, or a GS1 DataBar barcode can be substituted with a defined string.
Truncate leading G5 string setting: By setting, a defined leading character or string can be truncated.
Also a single character can be un-defined.
Repeat of a G5 character setting: While G5 is set as a single defined/un-defined character, G5 can also
be set to be repeated. This setting is ignored when the truncate number is more than the barcode data
characters. The option of “FF” for this setting is not active while the option of Truncate leading G5
string setting is “00”.
Example: Truncate all leading zeros for all symbols.
Original code data “0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6”
Output code data “1 2 3 4 5 6”
Steps: scan the following data in order.

Testing barcode:

Truncate ending G6 string setting: By setting, a defined ending character or string can be truncated.
Also a single character can be un-defined.
Repeat of a G6 character setting: While G5 is set as a single defined/un-defined character, G6 can also
be set to be repeated. This setting is ignored when the truncate number is more than the barcode data
characters. The option of “FF” for this setting is not active while the option of Truncate ending G6 string
setting is “00”.
Single character C1/C2 replacement: By setting, a defined character in the data string can be replaced
by another defined character. The C1 and C2 replacement are applied simultaneously.
Example: Replace all the “A” character in a data string to be “B” character.
Original code data “1 2 3 A 5 A”
Output code data “1 2 3 B 5 B”
Steps: scan the following barcodes in order. The ASCII value for “A” is 41, and the ASCII value for “B” is
