OPTICON Universal menu book INTRODUCTION This menu book is intended for setting up your bar code reader to optimize its performance for your particular application. When the required options have been configured, they remain in the reader, even after power down. The reader can be returned to factory default by reading the default label. 0 Introduction Menu labels The reader must be set by reading the bar code labels in the menu table. The layout of the table is explained in next figure 0.01. Fig. 0.01.
OPTICON Universal menu book • 5: Use chapter 5 to select the read options to your preference. These options affect the read mode, read time, trigger and redundancy. Configuring via the menu book To configure the required options proceed as follows: • scan the SET label • scan the required option(s) • scan the END label After scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non volatile memory. • 6: Use chapter 6 to select the indicator options you prefer.

OPTICON Universal menu book 2. INTERFACE This chapter describes the configurable transmission options for your reader. Some options may not be relevant to the type of reader you have. An attempt to configure the reader for such options does not affect its operation and usually results in the reader producing an error tone, indicating you tried to make an illegal configuration entry.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.1. RS232 options TxD: Transmitted Data: Transmits data from the reader to the host. This connection is mandatory. This paragraph describes the specific options for a reader with an RS232 interface. Bar code readers with an RS232 interface are normally supplied with either a DB25 or DB9 female connector. Both connectors are fitted with an external power connector. See figure 2.01 or 2.02. RxD: Received Data: Receives data from the host to the reader.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.1.1. Baud rate settings The baud rate is the rate at which bits are transmitted from the reader to the host, and vice versa.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.1.2. Data, parity and stop bits The data characters may be transferred in one of the following formats: Fig. 2.03. Data, parity, stop bits A parity bit may be added to every character so that the total number of 1's in the data bits, together with the parity bit, is odd for odd parity or even for even parity. See figure 2.03.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.1.3. Handshaking ON the reader is allowed to transmit data. When all data has been transmitted, the reader will turn RTS OFF. In response, the host should turn OFF the reader's CTS. If, while RTS is ON, the CTS line is not ON for a certain configurable period, the reader will terminate the transmission with an error indication of the buzzer. See figure 2.05. Fig. 2.05. HandShaking Modem mode 1.
OPTICON Universal menu book 6. ACK/NAK no response: The difference from the ACK/NAK mode is that when no response from the host is received within 100 ms, the reader assumes that the data has been received correctly by the host. Response: "None" Action: If there is no response within one second then the reader terminates transmission with an error buzzer. See figure 2.06. Fig. 2.06. HandShaking ACK/NAK Response: "ACK" (ASCII: Hex Ø6) Action: The reader completes transmission with the good-read buzzer.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.1.3.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.1.4. Intercharacter delay for RS232 The intercharacter delay introduces a configurable time delay after each character transmitted. This may be used if the connected computer or terminal does not support flow control and is not capable of handling the received data.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.2. Keyboard wedge/USB options With keyboard: Use this mode in case a keyboard is connected to the PC wedge Y-cable. The wedge is only listening in case the computer is booting or when the wedge is idle. This paragraph describes the options which are relevant to readers with a wedge or USB interface.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.2.1. Keyboard language Keyboards are also different depending on country or language. Examples are the QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards. Select the same language that has been selected on your PC. The languages supported depend on the reader model and software release. Please consult your sales office for the languages currently supported.

OPTICON Universal menu book 2.2.2. Special options Auto NumLock mode: When selecting this option, the bar code reader automatically uses the correct NumLock state. This section contains some specialised keyboard options. No CAPSLOCK mode: This options cancels the CAPSLOCK mode. Do not use numpad: The reader wil emulate the numerical keys on the alpha keypad when transmitting numerical data.
OPTICON Universal menu book The intercharacter delay can be used to adapt the reader's data transmission speed to the system. If the transmission speed is too high, the system may not be able to receive all characters. Adjust the intercharacter delay until the data is received correctly. The default value as well as the actual delay time depend on the terminal type and language selected. 2.2.3.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.3. Wireless options This section is intended to configure a wireless connection to an Opticon cradle and third party dongles. Options are available to minimize the reader’s power consumption and to maximize working time and enable secure data exchange. Bluetooth dongle connection: In case a third party Bluetooth dongle is used, the Bluetooth address, pin code and security options needs to be configured manually.

OPTICON Universal menu book 2.3.5. Auto disconnect options Auto disconnect: If the reader is idle for the configured time, it will disconnect. Purpose options are power saving.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.3.6. Auto reconnect options time is expired, the reader stops trying. The reader will not reconnect after reading the manually disconnect label or after auto disconnection. Auto reconnect: If the reader is disconnected because it is out of range or the Bluetooth device is not available, the reader will try to establish the connection during the configured time.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.3.7. Wireless power saving IEEE 802.15.4 power saving: IEEE 802.15.4 based readers change the antenna output power instead of changing the activity rate. See figure 2.08. Activation levels: In order to reduce the power consumption it is possible to set the activity rate of the reader. The default setting is ‘Active’, meaning that the reader will continuously check for communication.
OPTICON Universal menu book 2.3.8. Memorizing Clear all memorized data: All memorizing data is deleted and the storage area is cleared. Memorizing options can be used to temporary store bar code data in case the bar code reader lost its connection. As soon the reader is connected again, the temporary stored data is transmitted to the computer and the storage area is cleared. The data is stored in RAM. In case the battery is depleted or battery is removed, data is lost.

OPTICON Universal menu book 5. READ OPTIONS This chapter allows to set the read mode, trigger type, redundancy and illumination.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.1. Read mode options The following read modes are available: Single read: When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will be turned OFF. The reader must be triggered again to read another label. This option and 'Disable trigger' can not be programmed at the same time. Multiple read: When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will stay ON for a time as set by 'Read time options' or indefinitely if the trigger switch has been disabled.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.1. Read mode options _ZZ_ Single read S0 _S0_ Multiple read S1 _S1_ Continuous read S2 _S2_ Disable trigger S7 _S7_ Enable trigger S8 _S8_ Add-on wait mode disabled XA _XA_ Add-on wait mode 0.25 sec. XB _XB_ Add-on wait mode 0.50 sec. XC _XC_ Add-on wait mode 0.75 sec.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.1.1. Multiple read reset time This option can be used in conjunction with multiple read mode.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.1.2. Quiet zone options With this option the reader can decode bar codes that have smaller start and/or end margins than specified for the symbology. Be careful when using this option. It may increase the possibility of partial reads and ghost reads. Do not use smaller margin checks then necessary. If possible replace the bar code labels by ones that have correct start and end margins.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.1.3. Auto trigger options 5.2. Read time options These options are used to activate the auto trigger option of the reader. This is only supported for reader equipped with the auto trigger option. The length of the period that the reader is ON after the trigger switch is pressed, or (in multiple or continuous read mode) after a label has been read. Selecting a read time of 0 means that the reader will stay ON as long as the trigger switch is being pressed.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.2.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.3. Power control The motor options are only applicable for selected laser bar code readers and with trigger enabled. In case the read time is expired, the motor can be switched OFF. In case the trigger is activated, the motor is switched ON again. To reduce the start-up time of the motor, the motor can be configured to half speed in idle mode.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.4. Redundancy This is the number of times that a label must be correctly decoded before it is transmitted. Selecting a higher redundancy count makes reading slower, but it reduces the probability of reading errors, especially when labels of poor definition are used.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.5. Positive and negative bar codes Usually bar codes are printed black on white, but sometimes white on black. These labels are called positive and negative respectively. In case the 'negative bar codes' option has been selected, positive labels may not be decoded anymore or with difficulty. This also applies to menu labels. To enable the reader to read positive labels again, a number of negative menu labels have been included.
OPTICON Universal menu book 5.6. Floodlight and aiming options The floodlight and aiming options affect the light source that illuminates the area of the bar code symbol. The floodlight illuminates the full area during image capturing. When the scannable area consists of a highly reflecting surface the floodlight might need to be disabled to prevent over-exposure. If an aiming light is available, the bar code reader can generate an aiming pattern to help the user to target at the bar code symbol.

OPTICON Universal menu book 6. INDICATOR OPTIONS This chapter describes the options for the Buzzer and Good Read LED.
OPTICON Universal menu book 6.1. Buzzer settings These options determine the buzzer type, tone, duration and loudness. The buzzer tone and loudness are reader dependent due to different buzzer types. Buzzer type: The buzzer may be disabled or enabled as either a hardware or software buzzer. Not all readers support both a hardware and software buzzer. Buzzer tone: If a software buzzer is used, the buzzer tone may be selected as shown in figure 6.01.

OPTICON Universal menu book 7.1. Diagnostics 7. MISCELLANEOUS The options in this part are primarily intended for diagnostic purposes. The following options are available: Transmit software version: The software version is transmitted. Transmit ROM checksum: The software calculated checksum over the internal program is transmitted. Transmit settings: The reader settings are transmitted as a string of hexadecimal numbers.
OPTICON Universal menu book 7.2. Serial configuration support Disable configuring via RS232: The reader ignores all configuration commands from the RS232 port. The trigger and buzzer commands are still accepted. Enable configuring via RS232: The reader accepts all configuration commands from the RS232 port. Disable trigger via RS232: The reader ignores the trigger command, (Hex 5A), via the RS232 port. Enable trigger via RS232: The reader accepts the trigger command via the RS232 port.

OPTICON Universal menu book A. TROUBLE SHOOTING The trouble shooting diagram can be of help if your reader does not operate as expected. If any problem is not covered or solved with this diagram you need to contact your dealer. Whether the reader operates or not can be checked in the following way: • it should beep after the power has been switched ON • it should either react on a trigger(if any) or it should emit light at the scan side of the reader (LEDs) See figure A.01. Fig. A.01.
OPTICON Universal menu book B. GLOSSARY OF TERMS AIM: An acronym for Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility. This is referring to an organization that is an authority for standards for bar codes. ASCII: An acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This refers to a set of 128 characters that are standardized. These characters include all basic English characters, digits, punctuation characters and control characters. Bar: The dark element of a printed symbol.
OPTICON Universal menu book Emulation: CMOS imager: A scanning device, which uses the CMOS technology. CMOS is an acronym for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors. Light from a light source within the CMOS is reflected by a bar code label and falls on an array of light sensitive elements in the scanner, the CMOS sensor. Whether the light is reflected depends on black or white parts of the bar code.
OPTICON Universal menu book Parity: IEEE 802.15.4: A wireless transmission protocol that uses radio frequency waves. Intensity: The amount of radiant or luminous flux per unit solid angle that is diverging from a light source. Inter character delay: The time between transmitting two characters. Interface: Allows devices to communicate with each other. Used most often to refer to the design of hardware and software which allows connection of network components and transfer of information.
OPTICON Universal menu book Reader: A device that examines a spatial pattern, one part after another, and generates analog or digital signals corresponding to the pattern. The reader converts bar code symbols to electrical signals for input to a bar code reader decoder for processing and subsequent output through a data communications interface. Structured append: The possibility to concatenate multiple bar codes into one block of data. This method is supported by most 2D bar codes.
