Introduction This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes for customizing the scanner's operation. Since the QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus scanner contains software enhancements and characteristics that set it apart from other scanners, it is recommended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels and information (except for other QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus product-specific publications).
Changing Interfaces To change a scanner's interface… Hardware If necessary, replace the scanner's interface cable to match the new host terminal's connection requirements. To disconnect the cable from the scanner, insert a .050” hex driver or bent paper clip into the CABLE RELEASE hole, and press down to unlock the cable connector. Reference Figure 1. NOTE We recommend that you disconnect power before plugging/ unplugging cables to avoid any possibility of equipment damage. Figure 1.

Customizing Your Scanner Operation When enabling a new interface, it may be necessary to modify the original factory settings to match your specific host system's communication and symbology requirements. Check with your system administrator to identify your host system's specific interface requirements to ensure that they match the new interface you've selected. Also, the scanner's operational features, such as speaker volume, can be customized to match your unique requirements. 1.
Programming Overview This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These features can be configured using the bar code labels contained in this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix A, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these bar codes, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed.
The Programming Session It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between scanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is recommended that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made, should you make a mistake in the programming sequence.
If You Make a Mistake... If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner's settings or wish to reset the scanner's configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label on this page to return the scanner's configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.
Where To Go From Here Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps: 1. If you are changing interfaces, first connect the scanner to the new host using the new interface cable. Scan the interface enable bar code label1 . 2. Scan any feature labels that are unique to the interface you are currently programming. These interface specific programming labels immediately follow each interface selection label. 3.

RS-232 Interface Selection Scan this label to enable the standard RS-232 interface (Datalogic RS-232). SNI RS-232 Interface Selection Scan this label to enable the SNI RS-232 interface.
Baud Rate Use the bar codes on this page to select the communications Baud Rate. Only one Baud Rate selection may be active at any one time. The last Baud Rate label you scan during a programming session will be the setting that is stored when you scan the END label.
Data Format Settings The bar codes on this page can be used to select the data format configuration needed to communicate with your system.
Handshaking Review your system documentation to identify handshaking requirements, and use these labels to change the settings if required. The following brief descriptions explain each selection. Hardware Control CTS/RTS Flow Control — is hardware handshaking. The scanner activates the RTS (Ready to Send) line when it is ready to send data to the host. The scanner waits for an active Clear to Send (CTS) signal from the host before transmitting data.
Software Control XON/XOFF — this is software handshaking that allows the host to control data transmission. If the host sends an XOFF command to the scanner, the scanner will not send the bar code data until it receives an XON command from the host. If the host sends the XOFF command during data transmission, the host will receive additional characters for no more than 2msec1. NOTE Hardware/software controls are mutually exclusive.
RS-232 ACK/NAK Options (QuickScan 6000 Plus ONLY) Several ACK/NAK parameters can be set for your QuickScan 6000 Plus scanner. Contact your Datalogic dealer if the specific ACK/NAK option you wish to set is not included in this section. Options for RS-232 ACK/NAK are: • Disable ACK/NAK • Enable ACK/NAK for bar code transmission • Enable ACK/NAK for host command acknowledge • Enable ACK/NAK for bar code transmission and host command acknowledge.
Intercharacter Delay Intercharacter Delay refers to the pause, if any, between each character before it is sent to the host. This time delay is used to control the flow of data from the scanner, but it should not be required for most applications. Use these labels to select the desired Intercharacter Delay.

Label Transmit Format Configuration Items (RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge Interfaces Only) If you need to send information in addition to label data, the scanner can be configured to transmit prefixes and/or suffixes as well as symbology specific identifier characters (Label I.D.). Prefix & Suffix As the examples below show, none, one or two symbology specific ASCII characters can be added to the beginning of label in addition to multiple prefix and suffix characters.
• Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + label data + non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a suffix CpCp + label data + CsCs • Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + symbology specific characters (0-2) + label data + non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a suffix CpCp + PP + label data + CsCs • Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + label data + symbology specific characters + non-symbology specific characters used as suffixes.
Non-Symbology Specific Items Setting Non-Symbology Specific Prefix(es) These characters will be added to the standard label format when your host system has specific and unique requirements for information added to the barcode label data before it is sent to the host. Identify your specific system requirements before adding or modifying these settings, then... 1.
Setting Non-Symbology Specific Suffix(es) These characters will be added to the standard label format when your system has specific and unique requirements for information added to the barcode label data before it is sent to the host. Suffix characters follow the label data. Identify your specific system requirements before adding or modifying these settings, then... 1.
Setting A Single Character Prefix or Suffix To set one ASCII character as a prefix or suffix, follow steps one through four on the previous two pages (select prefix or suffix), then... 1. Scan the two digit Hex Code for that character. (e.g. 03, 8F, ...FF) NOTE If you make a mistake, or lose your place while setting this option, scan the END label to exit Programming Mode.

ASCII Character Set The table on this page shows a set of ASCII characters and their corresponding Hex Values. The Hex Values in this table are needed for setting symbology specific label identifiers, as well as enabling custom prefix and suffix characters.
Symbology-Specific Label I.D. Setting Symbology-Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.D.) Symbology-specific label identifiers comprise one or two ASCII characters that can precede or follow barcode label data as it is transmitted to the host. The host uses these characters as a means of distinguishing between symbologies. Industry standards have been established for symbology-specific label identifiers, and are listed in the table below.
Setting Symbology Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.D.) (Continued) 4. Scan the label representing the symbology whose label identifier you wish to modify. In our example, we would scan the 'UPC-A' symbology label. 5. Identify and scan the digits that correspond to the Hex Values. The hex values from the ASCII chart that correspond to 'A1' from our example are as follows: 41 hex = 'A', and 31 hex = '1'. Thus, we would scan digit programming labels in this order: 4, 1, 3, 1. 6. Scan the END label.
Label I.D.
Label I.D.
How to Set Single Character Label I.D. If you only want a single character identifier, follow this modified procedure for setting label identifier. 1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on page 38 and identify the ASCII character and the corresponding Hex Code for the ASCII character you will use as the symbology specific identifier. 2. Scan the SET label. 3. Scan the label identifier label for the symbology identifier that you are going to change.
Disabling Label I.D. for a Specific Symbology This procedure is the same as setting a single character symbology identifier, except you should scan two zeros and the One Character Only labels before scanning the END label. Symbology Specific Label Identifiers Characters Use the labels on this page to change or modify symbology identifiers.

Symbologies Symbology selection (bar code type) determines which symbologies the scanner will decode. The chart below shows the symbologies that are supported by each interface. Once you have identified the symbologies you wish to enable, turn to the following pages, enable those symbologies and set the data format options (e.g. check digit, start/stop characters) required by your host system for each symbology type.
Symbology Options Overview Enable All Symbologies — allows the scanner to auto-discriminate between all the symbologies in this list. Use this selection only if you must constantly read a wide variety of symbologies. Turn to the following pages for enabling additional symbology specific options. Disable All Symbologies — disables all symbologies1. The scanner will only recognize the programming labels contained in this manual while you are in Programming Mode.
IATA — is a special symbology subset of Standard 2 of 5. Enabling IATA selects this custom code as the active Standard 2 of 5 symbology (superceding any other Standard 2 of 5 features). NOTE Standard 2 of 5 must be enabled before IATA can be enabled. Enable Codabar — selects Codabar as an active symbology. Allows selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop character and format, or label format (fixed or variable length) options. Enable Code 93 — selects Code 93 as an active symbology.
Symbology Selection The bar code programming labels on the following pages allow you to enable or disable individual symbologies. NOTE If you enable a symbology that has additional features that should be set, turn to the pages that support that symbology and its programmable features.
ENABLE I NTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 ----- DISABLE INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 ----- ENABLE STANDARD 2 OF 5-------- DISABLE STANDARD 2 OF 5 ------- ENABLE IATA 3 -------------------- DISABLE IATA --------------------- 3 50 Standard 2 of 5 must first be enabled before IATA can be enabled; however, the scanner will not read Standard 2 of 5 labels when IATA is enabled.

UPC/EAN Options The information below provides a brief description of the programmable UPC/EAN features included on the following pages. Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 — adds a leading zero to a UPC-A label which 'expands' the label to the EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. Expand UPC-E to UPC-A — expands UPC-E labels to UPC-A data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for UPC-A.
UPC/EAN Expansion Expand EAN-8 to EAN-13 • Expand UPC-E to UPC-A • Expand UPC-E to EAN-13 SET ---------------------------------------------- EXPANSION • EXPAND1 ------------------------------------------------DON'T EXPAND --------------------- EXPANSION UPC-E TO UPC-A Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 EXPAND1 ---------------------------- EXPANSION EAN-8 TO EAN-13 UPC-E TO EAN-13 • EXPAND1 ---------------------------- DON'T EXPAND --------------------- DON'T EXPAND --------------------EXPAND1 -------
UPC/EAN Add-Ons If you need to scan UPC or EAN labels that include add-on codes, the selections on this page set the scanner's Add-on feature. Three add-on read modes are available: optional, required and disabled. Optional — the scanner will recognize UPC bar codes with or without add-ons. NOTE Due to the structure of add-on codes, selecting the Optional setting makes it impossible to ensure that the scanner will always read the add-on portion of the label.
Price/Weight Check Digit The price/weight check digit selections allow you to specify whether the scanner should calculate an extra check digit based on a four or five-digit price/weight block and compare it with the price/weight check digit contained in the bar code. If the calculated check digit does not match the value of the check digit contained in the bar code, the label will be rejected as invalid. Select domestic four or five digit, European four or five digit, or disable the price/weight check.
These settings affect UPC data format when RS-232 or OCIA is the active interface. Number System Digit (NSD) settings operate with RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge interfaces ONLY.
EAN Data Format Settings These settings affect EAN data format when RS-232, Keyboard Wedge or OCIA is the active interface.
Code 39 Options The Code 39 symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit — calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner.
Code 39 (continued) Use these labels to change the Code 39 programmable features.
Code 39 (continued) Follow these steps to set Code 39 Minimum Label Length: 1. Identify the minimum length setting you want to make. The selectable range is 00 to 48 * characters. 2. Scan the SET label. 3. Scan the SET CODE 39 MINIMUM LABEL LENGTH bar code. Setting Lengths If you are setting a length less than ten, you must scan a zero first and then the length digit ( 04, 06, 08). 4. Set the minimum label length by scanning the correct digits from below and the next page. 5. Scan the END label.
CODE 39 MINIMUM LABEL LENGTH 5 -----------------------------------6 -----------------------------------7 -----------------------------------8 -----------------------------------9 -----------------------------------END ---------------------------------------------- Programming Guide 61
Code 128 Options AIM Symbology ID Prefix The Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM USA) have standardized the reporting of data sources from bar code reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate between UCC-128 (Code 128 with Function Character 1 in the first position) and standard Code 128 symbols. When this feature is disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.
Interleaved 2 of 5 The Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit — calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. The Transmit Check Digit will have no effect unless the Compute Check Digit feature is enabled.
• Set Second Fixed Length — use this label to instruct the scanner that the next two programming labels you scan will define the second fixed label length. Again, this setting can be any even number of digits between 02 and 50 * digits. • No Second Fixed Length — scan this label after setting the first fixed length to instruct the scanner to recognize only the label length chosen as the first fixed length.
Setting Interleaved 2 of 5 Fixed and Minimum Label Lengths All interfaces that are shipped with the standard factory configuration are set to read variable length labels. If you switch from variable to fixed length labels (by disabling variable lengths on the previous page), the default fixed label lengths are 14 digits and 8 digits. Follow the steps below to change these defaults. All fixed length settings for Interleaved 2 of 5 must be an even number. Set Fixed 1.

Standard 2 of 5 The Standard 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit — calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. The Transmit Check Digit will have no effect unless the Compute Check Digit feature is enabled.
• Set Second Fixed Length — use this label to instruct the scanner that the next two programming labels you scan will define the second fixed label length. Again, this setting can be any number of digits between 01 and 50 * digits. • No Second Fixed Length — scan this label after setting the first fixed length to instruct the scanner to recognize only the label length chosen as the first fixed length.
Setting Standard 2 of 5 Fixed and Minimum Label Lengths All interfaces that are shipped with the standard factory configuration are set to read variable length labels. If you switch from variable to fixed length labels, the default fixed label lengths are 14 digits and 8 digits. Follow the steps below to change these defaults. Set Fixed 1.

Codabar Options The Codabar symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit — calculates the Check Digit to verify the label's contents have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must include a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit. Start/Stop Characters — you can choose either Send or Don't Send depending on your host's interface requirement.
Codabar Check Digit & Variable Length These programming labels determine whether you compute and send the check digit contents and enables variable length. If you want to set the scanner to read only fixed length labels, follow the procedures on the following pages.
Codabar Start/Stop Character These bar codes allow you to set the Start/Stop character format and transmission. Refer to your host user's manual to identify your system requirements, then use these labels to select which characters are transmitted.
Codabar Fixed Length Most scanners shipped from the factory are set to read variable length labels for Codabar. If you switch from variable to fixed length labels, the factory set fixed label lengths are 14 and 08. Follow the steps below to change these defaults. Enable Fixed 1. Identify the fixed length settings you want to make. 2. Scan the SET label. 3. Scan the SET FIRST FIXED LENGTH label.
5. Scan the SET SECOND FIXED LENGTH label. 6. Set the second fixed label length by scanning the correct digits from this page. The selectable range is from 03 to 50 * digits. 7. Scan the END label to complete the procedure.
MSI/Plessey Check Digit MSI/Plessey Check Digit options include: Check Digit Calculation — calculates the Check Digit to verify the labels contents have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must include a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit. Transmit Check Digit — enables or disable transmission of MSI/Plessey Check Digit(s). Number of Check Digits — specifies either one or two Check Digits.
MSI/Plessey Fixed Length With the QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus scanner, you now have the option of requiring MSI/Plessey labels to have one or two fixed length(s). To set fixed length(s) for MSI/Plessey labels: 1. Identify the fixed length setting(s) you wish to make. Fixed lengths can be set from four to fifteen, including check character(s). 2. Scan the SET label. 3. Scan the ENABLE MSI/PLESSEY FIXED label. 4. Scan the SET FIRST FIXED LENGTH label. 5.

Read Verification QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus programming has been improved to allow selection of read verification "minimum read" requirements by symbology type, as well as universally. This means that the scanner needn't waste valuable time verifying high-confidence symbologies, while offering the security of multiple read verification on less reliable codes. NOTE The more times the scanner is required to read and compare the bar code's data, the longer it will take to complete a good read cycle.
Read Verification by Symbology To set the minimum read requirement for a desired symbology: 1. Scan the SET label. 2. Scan one symbology label below to select the symbology to be verified. 3. Scan the label on the following page representing the amount of times you wish a bar code label of that symbology type to be read before transmission to the host. 4. Repeat steps one through three above until read verification has been selected for all symbologies you desire to be verified. 5.

Low Power Mode QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus incorporates two optional low power modes to optimize power usage and extend scanner life. NOTE These features are only available with RS-232, Wand Emulation and Keyboard Wedge host interfaces. WARNING DO NOT use Very Low Power Mode in conjunction with Stand Mode, as this feature is not compatible and may cause unexpected behavior. Low Power Idle — places the scanner's microcontroller into a WAIT state during idle periods.
Debug Mode When enabled, this mode will cause any product labels that are read to be discarded with no attempt made to transmit them to a host. Any host scanning control will also be disabled while this option is in effect. This mode may be enabled in conjunction with any of the defined host interfaces. All other programmable options that are set for that interface will remain in effect while in debug mode.
Appendix A Additional Information Host Programming Some interfaces and host systems include the ability to configure the scanner by sending commands to the scanner. Consult your host system manual for more infomation about this feature. Creating MultiFunction Labels The term 'multifunction label' describes a programming label that contains multiple programming features in one programming label.
