Enter Setup

System Setting

Introduction
There are three ways to configure the HR3280: Barcode programming, command programming and Easyset programming.

Barcode Programming
The HR3280 can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable features/options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following sections. This programming method is most straightforward. However, it requires manually scanning barcodes. As a result, errors are more likely to occur.
Command Programming
The HR3280 can also be configured by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host device. Users can design an application program to send those command strings to the scanners to perform device configuration.
EasySet Programming
Besides the two methods mentioned above, you can conveniently perform scanner configuration through EasySet too. EasySet is a Windows-based configuration tool particularly designed for Newland products, enabling users to gain access to decoded data and captured images and to configure scanners. For more information about this tool, refer to the EasySet User Guide.

Enter Setup

The figure above is an example that shows you the programming barcode and command for the Enter Setup function: 1. The No Case Conversion barcode. 2. The No Case Conversion command. 3. The description of feature/option. 4. ** indicates factory default settings.
Note: “@” included in the programming command indicates permanent setting which means the setting will not be lost by removing power from the scanner or turning off or rebooting it; whereas “#” included in the programming command indicates temporary setting which means the setting will be lost by removing power from the scanner or turning off or rebooting it.

15

** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Use of Programming Command
Besides the barcode programming method, the scanner can also be configured by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host device. All commands must be entered in uppercase letters.
Command Syntax
Prefix StorageType Tag SubTag {Data} [,SubTag {Data}] [;Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Suffix Prefix: “~0000” (HEX: 7E 01 30 30 30 30), 6 characters. StorageType: “@” (HEX: 40) or “#” (HEX: 23), 1 character. “@” means permanent setting which will not be lost by removing power from the scanner or rebooting it; “#” means temporary setting which will be lost by removing power from the scanner or rebooting it. Tag: A 3-character case-sensitive field that identifies the desired command group. For example, all USB HID-KBW configuration settings are identified with a Tag of KBW. SubTag: A 3-character case-sensitive field that identifies the desired parameter within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the keyboard layout is CTY. Data: The value for a feature or parameter setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag. Suffix: “;” (HEX: 3B 03), 2 characters. Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Suffix sequence. For configuration commands, only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in sequence. If an additional command is to be applied to the same Tag, then the command is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional commands are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous command by a semicolon (;).
Query Commands
For query commands, the entry in the Data field in the syntax above is one of the following characters means: * (HEX: 2A) What is the scanner’s current value for the setting(s). & (HEX: 26) What is the factory default value for the setting(s). ^ (HEX: 5E) What is the range of possible values for the setting(s).

** Exit Setup

16

Enter Setup

The value of the StoreType field in a query command can be either “@” (HEX: 40) or “#” (HEX: 23).
A query command with the SubTag field omitted means to query all the settings concerning a tag. For example, to query all the current settings about Code 11, you should enter 7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 2A 3B 03 (i.e. ~0000@C11*;).

Responses

Different from command sequence, the prefix of a response consists of the six characters of “0000” (HEX: 02 01 30 30 30 30).

The scanner responds to serial commands with one of the following three responses:

(HEX: 06) Indicates a good command which has been processed. (HEX: 15)

Indicates a good configuration command with its Data field entry out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination (e.g. an entry for an inter-keystroke delay of 100 when the field will only allow 2 digits), or an invalid query command.

(HEX: 05) Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

When responding, the scanner echoes back the command sequence with the status character above inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the comma or semicolon) in the command.

Examples

Example 1: Enable Code 11, set the minimum and maximum lengths to 12 and 22 respectively.

Enter:

7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 45 4E 41 31 2C 4D 49 4E 31 32 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 3B 03 (~0000@C11ENA1,MIN12,MAX22;)

Response: 02 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 45 4E 41 31 06 2C 4D 49 4E 31 32 06 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 06 3B 03 (0000@C11ENA1,MIN12,MAX22;)

Example 2: Query the current minimum and maximum lengths of Code 11.

Enter:

7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 4D 49 4E 2A 2C 4D 41 58 2A 3B 03 (~0000@C11MIN,MAX;)

Response: 02 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 4D 49 4E 31 32 06 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 06 3B 03 (0000@C11MIN12,MAX22;)

Decode Area
Whole Area Decoding: The scanner attempts to decode barcode(s) within its field of view, from the center to the periphery, and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded.
Specific Area Decoding: The scanner attempts to read barcode(s) within a specified decoding area and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded. This option allows the scanner to narrow its field of view to make sure it reads only those barcodes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple barcodes are placed closely together, specific area decoding in conjunction with appropriate pre-defined decoding area will insure that only the desired barcode is read.

Hardware Auto Flow Control
If this feature is enabled, the scanner determines whether to transmit data based on CTS signal level. When CTS signal is at a low level which means the serial port’s cache memory of receiving device (such as PC) is full, the scanner sends data through RS-232 port until CTS signal is set to high level by receiving device. When the scanner is not ready for receiving, it will set RTS signal to low level. When sending device (such as PC) detects it, it will not send data to the scanner any more to prevent data loss. If this feature is disabled, reception/transmission of serial data will not be influenced by RTS/CTS signal.

** Disable Hardware Auto Flow Control

USB Interface

Introduction
There are four options for USB connection:
USB HID Keyboard: The scanner’s transmission is simulated as USB keyboard input with no need for command configuration or a driver. Barcode data could be entered by the virtual keyboard directly and it is also convenient for the host device to receive data.
USB CDC: It is compliant with the standard USB CDC class specifications defined by the USB-IF and allows the host device to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is needed when using this feature.
HID POS (POS HID Barcode Scanner): It is based on the HID interface, with no need for a custom driver. It excels virtual keyboard and traditional RS-232 interface in transmission speed.
IBM SurePOS: It conforms to IBM (now Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions) 4698 USB scanner interface specifications.

When the scanner is connected to both USB and RS-232 ports on a host device, it will select the USB connection by default.
