CHAPTER
1 GET STARTED
About This Manual
This User Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Voyager XP 1350g corded area-imaging scanner. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included. Honeywell barcode scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the barcodes in this guide. An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpack Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps: · Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier
who delivered the carton. · Make sure the items in the carton match your order. · Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Voyager 1350g User Guide

Voyager 1350g User Guide

Connect with RS232 Serial Port
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.
Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer.
Voyager 1350g Scanner RS232 Serial Port Connection:

Note: The power supply must be ordered separately, if needed.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer. This interface programs 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Reading Techniques
The view finder projects an aiming dot that should be centered over the barcode, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read. Hold the scanner over the barcode, press the button, and center the aiming dot on the barcode.

Voyager 1350g User Guide

3

The aiming dot is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Hold the scanner close to smaller bar codes, and farther away from large bar codes to get a proper read.
Troubleshooting
· If the light level in the room is not high enough, the barcode may not be read. · If the barcode is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), you may need to tilt the
scanner at an angle so the barcode can be scanned.
Menu Barcode Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu barcodes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Barcode Security settings. Contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page xiii) for further information.
Set Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults barcode.
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

4

Voyager 1350g User Guide

Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults barcode below. This is the recommended default barcode for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following barcode: “abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

  • Keyboard Conversion Off

Convert All Characters to Upper Case

Convert All Characters to Lower Case
Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page 206. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of the chart). Default = Off.
Note: Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.

    RS232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity
    Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications that require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8. Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1. Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. Default = None.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the barcode below, then scanning digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out – always on).

RS232 Handshake
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data flow control is used. Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host. Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit. Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 24) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume. Default = RTS/CTS Off.

XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

XON/XOFF On

  • XON/XOFF Off
    ACK/NAK
    After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more barcodes. If NAK is received, the last set of barcode data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On barcode below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

Trigger Modes
Manual Trigger
In manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a barcode is read, or until the scan trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Trigger Normal.
*Manual Trigger – Normal
Manual Trigger Enhanced
Serial Trigger
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 166). You must be in a serial interface mode in order to use serial triggering. Refer to RS232 Serial Port (page 7) or USB Serial (page 9) for further information. When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read TimeOut, which follows).
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out barcode, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, then Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scanner illumination to detect barcodes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs remain dim until a barcode is presented to the scanner, then the aimer turns on and the LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Scan the following barcode to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.

Presentation Mode
Presentation LED Behavior after Decode
When a scanner is in presentation mode, the LED aimer dims 30 seconds after a barcode is decoded. If you wish to dim the LED aimer immediately after a barcode is decoded, scan the LEDs Off barcode, below. Default = LEDs On.

  • LEDs On

LEDs Off
Presentation Centering
Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those barcodes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will ensure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering (page 3-42).
If a barcode is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window barcodes.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Barcode 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Barcode 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Streaming Presentation Mode
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scanner’s aimer goes out after a short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search for barcodes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range.

Streaming Presentation Mode – Normal
Streaming Presentation Mode – Enhanced
When using Preferred Symbology (see page 44), a lower priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read in Streaming Presentation Mode.
Note: When the scanner is placed in a stand, it will revert to Presentation Mode (see page 33).
Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode. Scan the Hands Free Time-Out barcode, then scan the time-out duration (from 0300,000 milliseconds) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, then Save. Default = 5,000 ms.

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both barcode symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a driver’s license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the scanner ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 46) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.

44

Voyager 1350g User Guide

If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner will read any barcode in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no barcode in the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported. Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read. Scan a barcode below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.

Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the barcodes are scanned. You can define up to 15 barcodes in an output sequence.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the alphanumeric symbols from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215. You must hold the trigger while reading each barcode in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
An output sequence is created using a string of serial commands that is sent to the scanner. This string is most easily sent to the scanner using the EZConfig software tool (see EZConfig for Scanning Introduction on page 160). You can also accomplish this by scanning alphanumeric barcodes (see the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215).

Partial Sequence
If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output sequence criteria are met, the barcode data acquired to that point is a “partial sequence.” You can define how partial sequences are output using the same types of command strings you used to create output sequences.
Partial Sequence Example – Three Symbologies with <> Separators, but with a Damaged Code
In this example, you are scanning PDF417, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes, and you want the scanner to output Code 39 first, Code 128 second, and PDF417 third, in brackets, as shown below, but the Code 39 barcode has been damaged and cannot be output.

Discard Partial Output Sequence
If you want to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is terminated before completion, scan Discard Partial Sequence.

  • Discard Partial Sequence
    Output Sequence Timeouts
    You can set a timeout for every code in the output sequence defined by the SEQBLK command. The scanner applies the shortest timeout corresponding to any of the codes that have been read during the current trigger session. When the timeout expires, the scanner sends all codes that it has been read in the order they appear in the sequence defined by SEQBLK.
    To specify the timeout, use the SEQTIM command followed by a list of timeouts in milliseconds. Each timeout is specified as a 4-decimal digit terminated by FF. The timeout value 9999 is special and indicates that the timeout for that code is “infinite”.
    The number of timeouts specified should correspond to the number of codes in the sequence defined by SEQBLK. You can specify one additional timeout, which will apply to codes not matching any member of the sequence. This can be useful if Require Output Sequence is On/Not Required. If you do not specify an additional timeout for codes not in the defined sequence, the last timeout specified by SEQTIM will apply.
    Output Sequence Timeout Example
    For example, if SEQBLK defines a 4-code sequence, you can specify timeouts of 5, 6, 7, and 8 seconds for codes 1-4 respectively using the command SEQTIM5000FF6000FF7000FF8000FF. Codes that are not part of the defined sequence would have an implied timeout of 8 seconds in this case (the final timeout in the list). To explicitly specify a timeout for such codes, you can include

52

Voyager 1350g User Guide

one more timeout at the end of the list. For example, to include a timeout of 1 second for non-sequence codes, use the command SEQTIM5000FF6000FF7000FF8000FF1000FF.
Satisfactory Subset of Full Sequence
You can define one or more subsets of barcodes from the complete sequence specified by SEQBLK. When you scan all the codes from one of these subsets, the scanner will transmit all the codes it has read in the sequence. The scanner sends the codes in the order defined by SEQBLK.
Note: To use the satisfactory subset feature, you must supply a timeout for each code in the sequence using SEQTIM.
Satisfactory Subset of Full Sequence Timeout Example
To specify a subset, list its members using the SEQSAT command and terminate each subset with FF. The members of each subset are specified as single hex digits corresponding to their index within the full sequence, 1 being the first. For example, to specify two subsets, the first consisting of the first and second code in the sequence and the second subset consisting of the second and third code, use the command SEQSAT12FF23FF.
To define a subset with an odd number of codes, insert a 0 before the final code index. For example, to define a 3-code subset consisting of the first, second, and third codes, use the command SEQSAT1203FF.
Default Output Sequence
Default Sequence programs the scanner to all universal values. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Default Sequence
Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is, or formatted according to the partial sequence output format (see Partial Sequence on page 50).
When the output sequence is Off, the barcode data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

Good Read Tone – Output Sequences
The scanner may be programmed to either beep or click in response to a good read of each barcode in an output sequence, or to emit a beep or error tone for a partial sequence. Default = Good Read Click – Each Code in Sequence and Error Tone Partial Sequence Output.

    Multiple Symbols
    When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping and or vibrating (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and

54

Voyager 1350g User Guide

decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. The maximum number of barcodes read is 21. When this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.
On

  • Off
    No Read
    With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 160), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear. Default = Off.
    On
  • Off
    If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message with NRDSTR menu command, such as: NRDSTRError or NRDSTRBad Code.
    Video Reverse
    Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read barcodes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted barcodes. Scan Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes to read both types of codes. Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu barcodes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes in order to read menu barcodes. Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for decoding only.

CHAPTER
4 DATA EDIT

Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This group of barcode 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.
Prefix and Suffix characters are 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. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

Prefix
1-11 alpha numeric & control characters

Scanned Data variable length

Suffix
1-11 alpha numeric & control characters

Points to Keep In Mind
· It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix = None.
· A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.
· You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 206, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
· You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

Voyager 1350g User Guide

57

· Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
· When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.
· The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.

Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 59).

Step 2. Step 3.

Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Charts (beginning on page 203) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0. To add the AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1. To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8. To add a backslash (), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: When adding a backslash (), you must scan 5C twice ­ once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character. Step 5. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat the steps above to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

Step 1. Step 2. Step 3.
Step 4.

Scan Add Suffix.
Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215 to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 206.
Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

58

Voyager 1350g User Guide

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Step 2.

Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 203) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies
Scan the following barcode if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit
By default, all ASCII control characters are transmitted with barcode data. These non-printable characters are translated into predefined key strokes, or CTRL+X functions (see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 206). If these key strokes interfere with your host’s software application, scan Disable to keep these ASCII control characters from being transmitted. Default = Enable.

  • Enable

Disable
Note: You can also use a custom data format (see Data Format beginning on page 63) to translate these characters into a more meaningful output.

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.

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5ms delays from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, then Save.

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay barcode, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save barcode from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215.
Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.
User Specified Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length barcode below, then scan the number of 5ms delays from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, then Save.
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay barcode, then the 2-digit hex value for a printable character to trigger the delay (see Lower ASCII Reference Table, page
207.)

CHAPTER
5 DATA FORMAT

Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page 66) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.
If a barcode is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on the barcode data. If there is no other data format, the raw data is output.

Voyager 1350g User Guide

Step 1. Step 2.
Step 3.

Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 65).
Select Primary/Alternate Format Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To program your primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page 81 for further information.)
Terminal Type Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 66) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric barcodes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215, to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.

Step 4.

Code I.D. In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 203, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215.

If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 79).

If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.

Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard emulation.
Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 barcodes that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (page 64), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 barcodes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands. The Data Format must be Required (see page 79) in order for the B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 80), barcode data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as usual. Because the data format needs to be On and Required (page 80) for the B8 command, you must input data formats for all barcodes you wish to discard as well as all barcodes you wish to output. Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 80), the scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non- Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.
Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the barcode data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.
Data Formatter Off
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:
· Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
· Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.

    Data Format Non-Match Error Tone
    When a barcode is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, the scanner normally generates an error tone. However, you may want to continue scanning barcodes without hearing the error tone. If you scan the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off barcode, data that doesn’t conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound. If you wish to hear the error tone when a non-matching barcode is found, scan the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On barcode. Default = Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On.

All Symbologies
For best scanner performance, you should only enable the symbologies that you need. Scan All Symbologies Off to disable all symbologies, then enable the symbologies you need by scanning the On barcode for each symbology.

All Symbologies Off

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length barcode data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters. Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 15 characters. Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save barcodes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 215. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.
