INTRODUCTION The Model 1000/1002 bar code reader is an easy to use system that accepts a wand or slot reader as an input device. The reader installs quickly between the keyboard and personal computer. Data is sent to the computer as if it were typed in from the keyboard. No hardware or software changes are necessary. Tailor the reader to individual applications by simply scanning a bar code from the menu.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW Installation requires connecting cables between the reader and your computer. Step 1: Turn OFF the power to the computer. Step 2: Unplug the KEYBOARD cable from the back of the computer and plug it into the connector labeled "KEYBOARD" on the rear panel of the reader. COMPUTER KEYBOARD Step 3: Plug one end of the cable (supplied with the reader) into the connector labeled "COMPUTER" on the rear panel of the reader.
Step 5: CONNECTING INPUT DEVICES: Installing a Wand Plug the end of the WAND cable into the circular connector labeled "WAND" on the front panel of the reader. MICROSCANNER AMERICAN MICROSYSTEMS POWER WAND Installing A Slot Reader Plug the end of the SLOT READER cable into the circular connector labeled "WAND" on the front panel of the reader.
Step 6: Verify that the cables are connected as shown below: Step 7: Turn ON the power to the computer. (The reader receives its power from the computer just like the keyboard.) Step 8: The "POWER" display light on the front panel of the reader will display RED and the reader will BEEP twice. Approximately 1/2 second later the display will change to GREEN. Step 9: The GREEN color indicates the reader is ready to use. The keyboard remains fully functional and you may enter data as before.
SCANNING BAR CODES WAND SCANNING Step 1: HOLD THE WAND LIKE A PENCIL, tilted at an angle of 10o to 30o from vertical. Step 2: TOUCH the wand tip to the WHITE SPACE before the label. Step 3: Move the wand QUICKLY across the label as if you were drawing a straight line through the middle of it. Step 4: Begin and end your stroke in the WHITE SPACE. Maintain a smooth, even stroke while scanning.
SLOT READER (Badge Reader) Step 1: Hold the CARD so that the bar code label is on the bottom and FACES the ARROW on the slot reader. Step 2: Insert the CARD into the opening on either side of the reader. Step 3: Holding the CARD flat against the bottom of the reader, SLIDE the card through the opening. You can slide the CARD bi-directionally (either left-to-right or right-to-left) and the data will output correctly to your computer.

CHANGING THE DEFAULT SETTINGS You can easily change the default settings by simply scanning the bar code options located on the READER SETUP MENU. The READER SETUP MENU is a laminated sheet of bar codes supplied with this manual. The basic programming sequence is: START / CATEGORY / OPTION (0-9) / ON/OFF (or) NUMBER ONLY / EXIT Follow the instructions below to change the settings. Step 1: Scan the START label at the top left corner of the SETUP MENU. This puts the reader into the program mode.
Step 5: If you want to make another change within the SAME CATEGORY, you can scan another option number (i.e., return to "Step 3" above). If you want to make a change in a DIFFERENT CATEGORY you MUST scan the new CATEGORY (i.e., return to "Step 2" above and repeat the steps). Step 6: When you have finished making all of the changes, you can either: 1) SCAN the EXIT (Save Changes) label to save all the changes OR 2) SCAN the EXIT (Ignore Changes) label to exit without saving any changes.
PROGRAMMING GUIDE START The START bar code places the reader into the program mode. After scanning this label, the reader will emit three short BEEPS to indicate that it is in the program mode. EXIT (SAVE CHANGES) Scan this bar code to EXIT the program mode and save all of the changes. After scanning this label, the reader will BEEP twice, then delay approximately one second, and emit three short BEEPS to indicate that it accepted the changes.

APPENDIX A - FUNCTION & SPECIAL KEYS With FUNCTION KEYS enabled, the decoder can accept a given ASCII character and transmit a corresponding FUNCTION KEY to the computer. The ASCII characters and values are listed in the table below.
APPENDIX B - CODE 39 SPECIFICATIONS Code 39 is a variable length alphanumeric code. Each character is made up of nine elements, five bars and four spaces. Three of the elements are wide and six are narrow. Code 39 is a popular choice for applications because: - it is easy to print with low cost dot matrix printers large character set (A-Z, 0-9, 7 special characters) code can be extended to include the entire 128 ASCII character set variable length.
CODE 39 CHARACTER SET: An optional check character can be used for applications requiring higher levels of data security. When used, the check character immediately follows the last data character. The check digit is calculated as follows: 1.
2. Sum all of the numerical values for each data character in the bar code. 3. Divide this sum by 43. 4. The remainder is the numerical value for the check digit. Use the table in step 1 to look-up the corresponding character. EXAMPLE: Sample Code 39 data = A394T 1. 2. 3. 4. Use the table to lookup the numerical value for each character. 10 + 3 + 9 + 4 + 29 = 55 55 / 43 = 1 remainder 12 Check digit numerical value = 12 The check digit = C.
APPENDIX C - FULL ASCII EXTENSION TO CODE 39 The FULL ASCII EXTENSION expands standard CODE 39 to include the entire 128 ASCII character set. This is accomplished by pairing standard CODE 39 characters.
APPENDIX D - UPC SPECIFICATIONS The Universal Product Code (UPC) symbols can be found on almost all retail products today. The UPC coding system was designed to uniquely identify a product and its manufacturer.
The last digit in UPC bar codes is a MODULO 10 CHECK DIGIT. It is calculated in the following manner: 1. From right to left, sum the digits in the odd positions. 2. Multiply this sum by 3. 3. From right to left, sum the digits in the even positions. 4. Add this sum to the product of Step 2. 5. The modulo-10 check digit is the smallest number, which when added to the sum of Step 4 produces a multiple of 10. EXAMPLE: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. UPC bar code = 01234567890C where C is the CHECK DIGIT.
The following table illustrates the expansion process for converting UPC-E to its UPC-A equivalent: Version E Number Insertion Digits Insertion Location Resultant Version A XXXXX0 XXXXX1 XXXXX2 XXXXX3 XXXXX4 XXXXX5 XXXXX6 XXXXX7 XXXXX8 XXXXX9 00000 10000 20000 00000 00000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 Position 3 Position 3 Position 3 Position 4 Position 5 Position 6 Position 6 Position 6 Position 6 Position 6 XX00000XXX XX10000XXX XX20000XXX XXX00000XX XXXX00000X XXXXX00005 XXXXX00006 XXXXX00007 XXXXX000
APPENDIX E - EAN SPECIFICATIONS The European Article Numbering system (EAN) is a superset of UPC. EAN has two versions: EAN-13 (13 digits) and EAN-8 (8 digits). 5 012345 678900 5012 3452 EAN 13 EAN 8 Country codes 00, 01, 03, 04, and 06 - 09 are assigned to the U.S. for compatibility with UPC.
APPENDIX F - INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 SPECIFICATIONS The Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code symbology is a numeric code (0 - 9) which has different start and stop characters. The name Interleaved 2 of 5 is derived from the fact that two characters are paired together using the bars to represent the first character and spaces to represent the second. Each character has two wide elements and three narrow elements.
OPTIONAL CHECK DIGIT: Interleaved 2 of 5 may contain an optional check digit. The reader supports two types of check digits: 1. 2. Uniform Symbology Specification (USS) - calculated as modulo 10 check digit based on 3-1-3 weightings. Optical Product Code Council (OPCC) - calculated as modulo 10 check digit based on 2-1-2 weightings. USS CHECK DIGIT CALCULATION: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. From right to left, sum the digits in the odd positions. Multiply this sum by 3.
APPENDIX G - CODABAR SPECIFICATIONS The Codabar bar code symbology is a numeric code (0 - 9) that also contains six special characters and four start/stop characters. The start/stop characters may or may not be transmitted. Characters are constructed of four bars and three spaces. Codabar is commonly used in libraries, blood banks, cotton and transportation industry.
APPENDIX H - CODE 128 SPECIFICATIONS The CODE 128 symbology is a variable length alphanumeric code containing the full 128 ASCII character set. Each character consists of 11 modules containing three bars and three spaces. Bars and spaces can be from 1 to 4 modules wide. Three different start characters are used to select one of three character sets. Code 128 is the bar code of choice for new applications.
