CONFIGURATION METHODS

Reading Configuration BarcodesIf you wish to change the default settings, this manual provides completeconfiguration of your reader in an easy way:

To configure your reader:

1) Open the folded page in Appendix C with the hex-numeric table and keep itopen during the device configuration.

2) Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each pageof configuration.

3) Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following theprocedures given for each group.

4) Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available at the top ofeach page of configuration.

Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are givenin chapter 4.

Using DL Sm@rtSet

DL Sm@rtSet is a Windows-based utility program providing a quick and user-friendlyconfiguration method via the RS232 or USB-COM interfaces.

It also allows upgrading the software of the connected device (see the DL Sm@rtSet

Users Manual for more details).

Copy Command

A previously configured reader (Master device), can be used to send its configurationdirectly to other readers of the same type. The particular procedure for each device isgiven in par. 4.9.


7/148

vii

Sending Configuration Strings from Host

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS232 orUSB interfaces. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be

configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parametersettings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.

1 INTRODUCTION

This manual provides all the necessary information for complete softwareconfiguration of various Datalogic families of second generation Hand-Held Devices(HHD II), including CCD guns and readers and laser scanners.

Your reader contains a built-in decoder and multi-standard interface.

It is designed for use in a wide variety of applications and environments includingcommercial, office automation, retail, and light industrial applications wherelarge quantities of information need to be collected rapidly, easily and reliably.

It has several status indicator functions which are described in the next paragraph.

1.1 STATUS INDICATORS

Several status indicators are available depending on the type of reader: LEDs,Beeper, and Good Read Spot (for CCD Long Range readers only). They signal

several operating conditions which are described in the tables below.

2.1 INTERFACE SELECTIONFollow the procedure to configure the interface required by your application

USB Interface RS232 Interface Wedge Interface Pen Emulation Interface IBM 46xx Interface

2.1.1 USB Interface Configuration

The USB interface is compatible with:

- Windows 98 (and later)- Mac OS 8.0 (and later)- IBM POS for Windows- 4690 Operating System

The USB interface is compatible with:

Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows

Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System

START-UPAs with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks bycommunicating with the USB device. During this phase the LED on the device blinksand normal operations are suspended. Two basic conditions must be met before theUSB device is ready to read codes, the correct USB driver must be loaded andsufficient power must be supplied to the reader.

For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD interface is includedin the Host Operating System and will either be loaded automatically or will besuggested by the O.S. and should therefore be selected from the dialog box (the firsttime only).

If the Host supplies sufficient power to the reader, the start-up phase ends correctly,the LED stops blinking and the reader emits the beep OK signal.


12/148

If the Host does not supply sufficient power to the reader, a dialog box will appear onthe Host and the reader will be blocked (LED continues blinking). In this case,disconnect the USB device cable at the Host (LED stops blinking), connect andpower-up an external supply to the USB device cable then reconnect the USB device

cable to the Host and close the dialog box. The reader emits the beep OK signal.You can now read codes. At this point you can read the USB interface configurationcode according to your application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested). Whenconfiguring the USB-COM interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installedfrom the USB Device Installation software which can be downloaded from the website: http://www.scanning.datalogic.com.

The following parameter groups are common to all interface applications:

DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for allinterfaces except Pen Emulation.

POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device.

READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator statusfunctioning.

DECODING PARAMETERS maintain correct barcode decoding in certain specialreading conditions.

CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix of codes,code families and their options.

ADVANCED FORMATTING PARAMETERS allow code concatenation andadvanced formatting of messages towards the Host. It cannot be used with Pen

Emulation.

KEYBOARD SETTING

ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING

The reader can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types and nationalitiesthrough a simple keyboard setting procedure.

The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard settingcommand.

Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the reader how to send data corresponding tothe keyboard used in the application. The keys must be set in a specific order.

Press and release a key to set it.

Some characters may require more than one key pressed simultaneously during normal use(refer to the manual of your PC or terminal for keyboard use). The exact sequence must beindicated to the reader in this case pressing and releasing the different keys.

Example:

If one has to press the "Shift" and "4" keys simultaneously on the keyboard to transmit thecharacter "$" to the video, to set the "$", press and release "Shift" then press and release "4".

Each pressed and released key must generate an acoustic signal on the reader, otherwiserepress the key. Never press more than one key at the same time, even if this corresponds tothe normal use of your keyboard.

Press "Backspace" to correct a wrong key entry. In this case the reader emits 2 beeps.

Note: "CAPS LOCK" and "NUM LOCK" must be off before starting the keyboard settingprocedure. "SHIFT" must be repressed for each character and cannot be substituted by"CAPS LOCK".

Some ASCII characters may be missing as this depends on the type of keyboard: these aregenerally particular characters relative to the various national symbologies. In this case:

The first 4 characters (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) can only be substituted withkeys not used, or substituted with each other.

characters can be substituted with other single symbols (e.g. "SPACE") even if notincluded in the barcode set used.

characters can be substituted with others corresponding to your keyboard.

The reader signals the end of the procedure with 2 beeps indicating the keys have beenregistered.

AIM standard identifiers are not defined for all codes: the X identifier is assigned to thecode for which the standard is not defined. The yvalue depends on the selected options(check digit tested or not, check digit tx or not, etc.).

When customizing the Datalogic Standard code identifiers, 1 or 2 identifier characters canbe defined for each code type. If only 1 identifier character is required, the secondcharacter must be selected as FF (disabled).

The code identifier can be singly disabled for any code by simply selecting FF as the firstidentifier character.

Write in the Custom character identifiers in the table above for your records.

4.1 USB-COM AND RS232 PARAMETERS

4.1.1 Handshaking

Hardware handshaking: (RTS/CTS)

The RTS line is activated by the decoder before transmitting a character.Transmission is possible only if the CTS line (controlled by the Host) is active.

RTS/CTS handshaking

Software handshaking: (XON/XOFF)

During transmission, if the Host sends the XOFF character (13 Hex), the decoderinterrupts the transmission with a maximum delay of one character and only resumeswhen the XON character (11 Hex) is received.

4.1.2 ACK/NACK Protocol

This parameter sets a transmission protocol in which the Host responds to the readerafter every code transmitted. The Host sends an ACK character (06 HEX) in the case

of good reception or the NACK character (15 HEX) requesting re-transmission, in thecase of bad reception.

If the reader does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the RXTimeout (see par. 4.1.4).

Selection of the ACK/NACK protocol automatically disables FIFO buffering see par.4.1.3.

4.1.3 FIFO

This parameter determines whether data (barcodes) are buffered on a First In FirstOut basis allowing faster data collection in certain cases for example when usingslow baud rates and/or hardware handshaking.

If the FIFO buffering is enabled, codes are collected and sent out on the serial line inthe order of acquisition. Several hundred characters can be collected (buffer full),after which the reader signals an error and discards any further codes until thetransmission is restored.

If the FIFO buffering is disabled, each code must be transmitted before another one

can be read.

4.1.4 RX Timeout

When the RS232 interface is selected, the Host can be used to configure the deviceby sending it command strings (see appendix A).

This parameter can be used to automatically end data reception from the Host afterthe specified period of time.

If no character is received from the Host, after the timeout expires, any incompletestring (any string not terminated by ) is flushed from the device buffer.
