To change a setting, double-click the setting and use your curser to scroll through the options. Communications by Serial Command Host Port Parameters old cmds Ka new cmds K100, Aux Port Parameters Ky K101, Command Title IrDA Port and Text Daisy Chain Auto Configure Daisy Chain Scanner ID Comm.
Communications Options Communications by Embedded Menu 2–Communications In addition to ESP-MP, Microscan’s scanners have an embedded menu that can be accessed from the terminal window within ESP or a separate terminal program. See for instructions on using the embedded menus. For older, slower computers, the embedded menus might be a quicker method of communicating with your scanner.
Chapter 2 Communications Host Port Parameters Important: This applies only to the 25-pin port and wiring box connections (not for 9-pin port). Note: See “Select the Communications Ports” on page 1-8 for 9-pin host port parameters. Baud Rate, Host Port The rate at which the scanner and host transfer data back and forth. Usage: Can be used to transfer data faster or to match host port settings.
Host Port Parameters 2–Communications Data Bits, Host Port Definition: One or two bits added to the end of each character to indicate the end of the character. Usage: Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Chapter 2 Communications RS422 Status Enables RS422. When RS422 is enabled, RS232 is enabled. Usage: Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Auxiliary Port Auxiliary Port 2–Communications As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary terminal’s settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits, and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device. Definition: An auxiliary port connects the scanner to a remote display or to other scanners that can display or transfer data.
Chapter 2 Communications Transparent Mode Definition: • Auxiliary port data to the host is always sent with a preamble and a postamble. Scanner • If the scanner is in a polled mode to the host, auxiliary port data will still pass through. • is the only command accepted by the scanner from the auxiliary port. All other commands will pass through to the host. Data initiated from the Scanner • Transmission to the auxiliary port occurs immediately upon a good read.
Auxiliary Port Half Duplex Mode Definition: In Half Duplex mode all auxiliary port data and bar code data is sent directly to the host. Bar code data is displayed on the auxiliary port screen at the same time the data is sent to the host. Data initiated from the Auxiliary Port 2–Communications • Auxiliary port data to the host is ignored if the scanner is in a polled mode. Host • Auxiliary port data or scanned data is sent to the host whenever it is received. • Auxiliary port data is not echoed.
Chapter 2 Communications Full Duplex Mode Definition: In Full Duplex mode all auxiliary port data and bar code data is sent directly to the host. Bar code data is not displayed on the auxiliary port screen. Data initiated from the Auxiliary Port Host Aux Port • Auxiliary port data or scanned data is sent to the host whenever it is received. • Auxiliary port data is not echoed. Scanner • Auxiliary port data to the host is always sent without a preamble or a postamble.
Auxiliary Port Daisy Chain Mode 2–Communications Note: See also “Daisy Chain Autoconfigure” on page 2-27. Definition: In a daisy chain application, scanners are connected in tandem or “daisy chain” and decoded data is relayed from one scanner to another on up to the host. A master scanner has its host port linked to the host computer and its auxiliary port linked to the host port of the first “slave” scanner in the chain.
Chapter 2 Communications Conditions: The conditions for a daisy chain application are as follows: 1. The master scanner’s trigger must be Serial or External; the slave scanners’ triggers are configured for Serial. 2. All scanners are enabled to Daisy Chain mode. Host Slave Master 4. Each slave scanner in the daisy chain must be set to send its data no less than 30 mS before its preceding scanner. 5. All but the master scanner must have Postamble enabled and set to CR (^M) only. 6.
Auxiliary Port Aux Port Communications Parameters As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary terminal’s settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits, and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device. 2–Communications Baud Rate, Aux Port Definition: The rate at which the scanner and host transfer data back and forth. Usage: Can be used to transfer data faster or match an auxiliary device.
Chapter 2 Communications Stop Bits, Aux Port Allows the user to select the last one or two bits in each character to indicate the end of the character. Usage: Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Daisy Chain Autoconfigure Daisy Chain Autoconfigure 2–Communications Definition: Daisy Chain Autoconfigure is issued to the master scanner in the daisy chain and the software responds as follows: • Counts the number of slave scanners in the daisy chain. • Assigns an internal ID number (1...n) to each slave scanner, where the first slave scanner is number 1 (and it’s own ID being a 0).
Chapter 2 Communications Daisy Chain Remote Scanner ID Note: Scanner IDs can also be assigned in “Daisy Chain Mode” on page 2-20. Assigns a new daisy chain ID to a daisy chain scanner. The command is sent to the master scanner to configure the other scanners. Usage: This command provides a handy way to assign custom daisy chain IDs to specific scanners that were assigned during the daisy chain autoconfigure process.
IrDA Port IrDA Port 2–Communications Status Definition: IrDA, which stands for the Infrared Data Association, promotes interoperable, infrared data interconnection standards that support a walk-up, point-to-point user model for a broad range of appliances, computing and communications devices. Usage: Allows wireless programming of the MS-880 by devices with IrDA ports such as the Palm Pilot™, laptops, etc.
Chapter 2 Communications Menu Mode Important Note: Menu Mode is only used in special cases (see “Usage” below). In normal use the correct mode for your device is automatically selected. In VT-100 mode, keyboard arrow keys of a VT-100 terminal (or terminal emulation) may be used. TTY uses a teletype protocol. Note: Send this command from the port to be changed. Usage: Only useful in a special cases where a user has a TTY device (desktop computer, laptop, etc.

Chapter Protocol 3 Chapter Contents Protocols are the rules by which devices pass data back and forth. This section includes the basic options available for data communication, including multidrop and user-defined options and output data formats. Note: The characters NULL <> and , can only be entered through embedded menus, not through ESP or serial commands. MS-880 Industrial Long Range Scanner User’s Manual 3-1 3–Protocol Protocol.....................................................................
Protocol by ESP Click this button to bring up the Protocol menu. 3–Protocol To change a setting, double-click the setting and use your curser to scroll through the options. Protocol by Serial Command Command Title Host Protocol Preamble Postamble Response Timeout Intercharacter Delay LRC Aux/Config.
Chapter 3 Protocol Protocol by Embedded Menu For information on accessing the embedded menus, see “Embedded Menus” on page A-23.
Protocol Protocol Protocols define the sequence and format in which information is transferred between the scanner and the host, or in the case of Multidrop, between scanners and a concentrator. Usage: In general, the point-to-point protocols will work well in most applications. They require no address and must use RS-232 or RS-422 communications standards.
Chapter 3 Protocol Point-to-Point with XON/XOFF (Transmitter On/Off) Definition: This option enables the host to send the XON and XOFF command as a single byte transmission command of start (^Q) or stop (^S). Usage: If an XOFF has been received from the host, data will not be sent to the host until the host sends an XON. During the XOFF phase, the host is free to carry on other chores and accept data from other devices. Used only with RS-232.
Protocol Multidrop Note: See also “Multidrop Communications” on page A-38. Definition: Multidrop allows up to 50 devices to be connected to a single RS-485 host, with the scanner assigned an unique address (from 01 to 50). Usage: The MS-5000 can be used as a concentrator to a single host port connection. When Multidrop is selected, the protocol characters for RES, REQ, etc. are assigned automatically. Multidrop Addresses: Each address has its own separate poll and select address (from 1C to 7F hex).
Chapter 3 Protocol User Defined Example Definition: Example: ACK/NAK protocol can be configured using User Defined. The scanner will transmit data to the host, when an ACK is received, it will carry on with its business. If a NAK or response timeout occurs, the scanner will re-send the data to the host up to 3 more times before aborting. Tip: To use User Defined Point-to-Point, first select Point-to-Point and then User Defined .
Protocol User Defined Multidrop Definition: User Defined Multidrop allows the user to customize the polling protocol. Usage: This option is used when connecting to a concentrator or other device that does not match standard multidrop protocol. If selecting User Defined Multidrop (7), complete the format by either choosing new parameters or place commas where unchanged data fields occur.
Chapter 3 Protocol LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check) Definition: An error-checking routine that verifies the accuracy of transmissions. It is the exclusive OR of all characters following the STX (start of text) up to and including the ETX (end of text). What this means is that the binary representation of all the characters in a transmissions are cumulatively added in a column and each resulting odd integer is assigned a 1 and each even integer a 0 (two 1s = 0, two 0s = 0, a 1 and a 0 = 1).
Response Timeout Response Timeout Time the scanner will wait before timing out if ACK, NAK, and ETX are enabled, and a host response is expected. Usage: Only used when a response is required from the host. While in Multidrop, if the scanner does not receive an ACK or NAK from the host after sending polled data, it will act on a fault. The scanner can be set to wait indefinitely by setting Response Timeout to zero.
Chapter 3 Protocol Intercharacter Delay Definition: The time interval in milliseconds between individual characters transmitted from the scanner to the host. Usage: Intercharacter Delay is only used where a host cannot receive data quickly enough and there is enough time between labels to allow data to be completely transferred. It is rarely used since any setting other than zero will slow down communications.
Output Data Format Output Data Format Up to four user defined ASCII characters, including control characters can be defined and added to the front or end of the data string that is sent from the scanner to the host. Note: See also Chapter 13, “Output Format and Filtering”. Preamble Characters 3–Protocol Preamble Status Definition: Define a one to four character data string that can be added to the front of the decoded data. Usage: Useful for identifying and controlling incoming data.
Chapter 3 Protocol Postamble Characters Postamble Status Definition: Allows the user to enable or disable up to four postamble character(s) that can be added to the end of the decoded data. Usage: Useful for identifying and controlling incoming data. For example, defining the postamble as a carriage return and a line feed causes each decoded message to be displayed of on its own line.
Auxiliary/Configuration System Data Auxiliary/Configuration System Data Note: Do not use this with Daisy Chain operation. Auxiliary Status Note: This command only applies if the Aux Mode is set to Command Processing. See “Command Processing Mode” on page 2-13. Definition: When enabled, system data, including decoded data and diagnostic warning messages, will be routed to the aux port. Usage: To check label data and error messages via the aux port.
Chapter 3 Protocol Network Client Network Client is enabled whenever a network protocol card is installed in the MS-880 wiring box and in conjunction with one of the following protocols: DeviceNet Profibus-DP DataHighway Plus For configuration and installation information on the above protocols and protocol cards, see The Network Protocol Card User’s Manual, part number 83-210015.

Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger Read Cycle/Trigger by Embedded Menu For information on accessing the embedded menus, see “Embedded Menus” on page A-23.
Trigger Mode Trigger Mode Note: When doing autocalibration or read rate testing, the current trigger setting will be disregarded. Definition: The type of trigger event that will initiate the read cycle.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger Continuous Read 1 Output Definition: In Continuous Read 1 Output the scanner self-triggers whenever it decodes a new bar code label or a timeout occurs. If End Of Read Cycle is set to Timeout and the label doesn't change, the scanner will repeat the output at the end of each timeout period.
Trigger Mode External Trigger Level Definition: External Trigger Level allows the read cycle (active state) to begin when a trigger (change of state) from an external sensing device is received. The read cycle endures until the object moves out of the sensor range and the active trigger state changes again. Usage: This mode is effective in an application where the speeds of the conveying apparatus are variable and the time the scanner spends scanning each object is not predictable.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger External Trigger Edge Definition: External Trigger Edge, as with Level, allows the read cycle (active state) to begin when a trigger (change of state) from an external sensing device is received. However, the passing of an object out of sensor range does not end the read cycle. The read cycle ends with a good read output or, depending on End of Read Cycle setting, a timeout or new trigger occurs.
Trigger Mode Serial Data Definition: In Serial Data, the scanner accepts an ASCII character from the host or controlling device as a trigger to start a read cycle. A Serial Data trigger behaves the same as an External Edge trigger. Serial commands are entered inside corner brackets, such as . Usage: Serial Data is effective in a highly controlled environment where the host knows precisely when the object is in the scan zone. It is also useful in determining if a noread has occurred.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger Trigger Filter Duration Definition: Trigger Filter Duration can prevent trigger bounce from falsely triggering the scanner by limiting the time in which trigger pulses can be received. Usage: Trigger Filter Duration is useful where trigger bounce could cause false triggers. Serial Cmd: Default: 320 (x 31.25 µs = 10ms) Options: 0 to 65535 (corresponding to 0 to 2.048 s in 31.
Serial Trigger Serial Trigger Definition: A single ASCII host serial trigger character that initiates the read cycle. Serial Trigger Character is considered an on-line host command and requires the same command format as all host commands: that is, to be entered within angle brackets delimiters < >. Serial Trigger Character (delimited) Definition: A delimited trigger character is one that either starts or ends the read cycle and is enclosed by delimiters such as < >.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger Note: Start and End serial trigger characters can be sent through host ports or aux ports, but not the IrDA port. Start Serial Trigger Character (non-delimited) Definition: A single ASCII host serial trigger character that starts the read cycle and is not enclosed by delimiters such as < and >. Serial Cmd: Default: Null (disabled) Options: Two hex digits representing an ASCII character except <, >, XON and XOFF.
External Trigger State External Trigger State Definition: When enabled for Active On (ION) (Positive) the triggering device imposes a current on the optoisolator to activate the read cycle. When enabled for Active Off (IOFF) (Negative) the triggering device interrupts the current to the optoisolator to activate the read cycle. Usage: Allows users to select the trigger state that will operate with their systems. (If using the Microscan object detector, use Active Off.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger End of Read Cycle Definition: The read cycle is the time during which the scanner will attempt to read and decode a bar code symbol. Serial Cmd: End of Read Cycle Status A read cycle can be terminated by a new trigger, a timeout, or a combination of both. ESP: Double-click on End of Read Cycle Mode and make a selection.
End of Read Cycle Timeout Definition: Timeout ends the read cycle, causing the scanner to stop reading labels and send the label data or noread message when the time set in Timeout elapses (times out), if When to Output is set to End of Read Cycle. If in Continuous Read 1 Output, a timeout initiates a new read cycle and allows the same label to be read again.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger New Trigger Definition: New Trigger ends the current read cycle and initiates a new one when a new trigger occurs. New Trigger refers only to a “rising edge” trigger. With either External Edge, Serial, or Serial or Edge enabled, an edge or serial trigger ends a read cycle and initiates the next read cycle. In the case of External Level, a falling edge trigger ends the read cycle but the next read cycle does not begin until the occurrence of the next rising edge trigger.
Multilabel Multilabel Definition: Multilabel allows the user to define up to 12 bar code labels that can be read in a single read cycle. Usage: Multilabel is commonly used in shipping applications where a shipping label contains individual bar codes for part number, quantity, etc. This feature allows one trigger to pick up all the labels. AIAG and UCC/EAN128 are two application standards that address this need. Conditions: The following conditions apply: 1.
Chapter 4 Read Cycle/Trigger Multilabel Separator Definition: The character that’s inserted between each label scanned when Multilabel is set to any number greater than 1. Usage: Used to delimit or separate data fields with a user defined character. ESP: Double-click on Separator and select a character in the popup window. Serial Cmd: Default: , (comma) Options: Any available ASCII character, except < > NUL.

Chapter 5 Codes Narrow Margins Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Allows the scanner to read symbols with quiet zones less than 8 times the width of the narrow bar element. “Quiet zone” is the space at the leading and trailing ends of a symbol. Each quiet zone can be as narrow as only five times the width of the narrow bar element when Narrow Margins is enabled.
Symbology ID Symbology ID Definition: Symbology ID is an AIM standard prefix character that identifies the bar code type. When enabled, the scanner analyzes and identifies the bar code symbology and adds a three character identifying prefix to the data: 1. ] (close bracket character) indicating the presence of a symbology ID 2. A, C, E, F, G, I, L, Q A = Code 39; C = Code 128 or UCC/EAN-128; E = UPC/EAN; F = Codabar; G = Code 93; I = I–2 of 5; L = PDF417; Q = Pharma Code 3.
Chapter 5 Codes Background Color Definition: Usage: Allows the user to choose which symbol background (white or black) the scanner can read. If the background is darker than the symbol, then enable black background. Typically the background is white; but on PCBs for example, they can be black.
Code 39 Code 39 Definition: Usage: An alphanumeric code with unique start/stop code patterns, composed of 9 black and white elements per character, of which 3 are wide. Code 39 is considered the standard for non-retail symbology. Code 39 Status Serial Cmd: Default: Enabled Options: Note: This is the only code type enabled by default.
Chapter 5 Codes Large Intercharacter Gap (Code 39) Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: When enabled, the scanner can read symbols with gaps between bar code characters that exceed three times (3x) the narrow element width. Large Intercharacter Gap is helpful for reading symbols that are printed out of specification.
Code 39 Full ASCII Set (Code 39 Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: 5–Codes Default: Options: Standard Code 39 encodes 43 characters; zero through nine, capital “A” through capital “Z”, minus symbol, plus symbol, forward slash, space, decimal point, dollar sign and percent symbol. When Full ASCII Set is enabled, the scanner can read the full ASCII character set, from 0 to 255. Must be enabled when reading characters outside the standard character set (0-9, A-Z, etc.
Chapter 5 Codes Codabar Definition: Usage: Codabar is a 16-character set (0 through 9, and the characters $, :, /, ., +, and –) with start/stop codes and at least two distinctly different bar widths. Used in photo-finishing and library applications. Formerly used in some medical applications but not typically used in newer applications.
Codabar Large Intercharacter Gap (Codabar) Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Instructs the scanner to read symbols with gaps between characters exceeding three times the narrow element width. It is helpful for reading symbols that are printed out of specification. Caution: Do not use Large Intercharacter Gap with Narrow Margins enabled since enabling Large Intercharacter Gap (over 3x) could cause a narrow margins (5x) to be interpreted as an intercharacter gap.
Chapter 5 Codes Check Digit Type (Codabar) Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Modulus 16: NW 7: Allows the user to select the check digit type Codabar will use. Disabled 0 = Disabled 1 = Modulus 16 2 = NW 7 3 = Both Used in the photo-finishing market. Used in Japanese markets.
Interleaved 2 of 5 Interleaved 2 of 5 Definition: Usage: A dense, continuous, self-checking, numeric symbology. Characters are paired together so that each character has five elements, two wide and three narrow, representing numbers 0 through 9, with the bars representing the first character and the interleaved spaces representing the second character. (A check digit is highly recommended.) Important: You must set Code Length in order to decode I 2/5 symbols.
Chapter 5 Codes Code Length #1 (Interleaved 2 of 5) Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Allows user to define the symbol length. Because I 2/5 is a continuous code, it is prone to substitution errors. Hence, a code length must be defined and a bar code symbol must contain an even number of digits. Note: If a start, stop or check digits are used, they are not included in the code length count. With I 2/5, two code lengths can be defined.
Interleaved 2 of 5 Guard Bar (Interleaved 2 of 5) Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: 5–Codes Default: Options: A guard bar is a heavy bar, at least 2 times the width of the wide bar, surrounding the printed I 2 of 5 symbol and helping to prevent false reads. It is useful when I 2 of 5 multilabels are enabled to prevent false data output. This typically occurs with highly tilted or skewed labels.
Chapter 5 Codes UPC/EAN Definition: Usage: UPC (Universal Product Code) is a fixed length numeric, continuous symbology. UPC can have two or five digit supplemental bar code data following the normal code. The U.P.C., Version A (U.P.C., A) symbol is used to encode a 12 digit number. The first digit is the number system character, the next five are the manufacturer number, the next five are the product number, and the last digit is the checksum character.
UPC/EAN Supplementals Status (UPC/EAN) Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Disabled: Enabled: Required: A supplemental is a 2 or 5 digit symbol appended to the main label. When set to Enabled or Required, the scanner reads supplemental bar code data that has been appended to the standard UPC or EAN codes. Reads Supplementals typically used in publications and documentation.
Chapter 5 Codes Separator Character (UPC/EAN) Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Allows the user to change the separator character from a comma to a new character. As required by the application.
PDF417 PDF417 Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: A two-dimensional, multi-row (3 to 90), continuous, variable length symbology that has high data capacity for storing up to 2700 numeric characters, 1800 printable ASCII characters, or 1100 binary character per symbol. Each symbol character consists of 4 bars and 4 spaces in a 17-module structure.
Chapter 5 Codes Fixed Code Length Status (PDF417) Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Disabled 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled Fixed Code Length (PDF417) Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Specifies the exact number of characters the scanner will recognize.
Code 128 Code 128 Definition: Usage: A very dense alphanumeric symbology. It encodes all 128 ASCII characters, it is continuous, has variable length, and uses multiple element widths measured edge to edge. Code 128 is a smaller code useful in applications with tight spots and high security needs.
Chapter 5 Codes UCC/EAN-128 Definition: Usage: A subset of Code 128, with extended features. See the Uniform Code Council, Inc. at www.uc-council.org. Used as a standard for shipping labels. Note: Code 128 must be Enabled for UCC/EAN-128 to function.
UCC/EAN-128 Application Record Separator Status (UCC/EAN-128) Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: When enabled, a separator character is inserted between application records. Disabled 0 = Disabled 1 = Enable Note: Output Format must be set to Application Record before this parameter can take effect.
Chapter 5 Codes Application Record Padding (UCC/EAN-128) Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Padding is the insertion of zeros to make up the maximum length of a variable application record data field, except for the last field which does not require padding. When enabled, padding is included. When disabled, padding is omitted. Note: Padding is never added to fixed length fields or to the last data field of a label. Enabling or disabling Record Padding will have no effect on these.
Code 93 Code 93 Definition: Usage: Code 93 is a variable length, continuous symbology employing four element widths. Each Code 93 character has nine modules that may be either black or white. Each character contains three bars and three spaces. Used occasionally in clinical industry.

6–Autocalibration Overview of Autocalibration Overview of Autocalibration When an autocalibration command is sent, the scanner first steps through a coarse grid of focus settings, looking for readable bar code symbols, and recording the highest read rates it encounters. This is “Pass 1,” as shown by the blue line in figure 6-1, a screen capture of an actual autocalibration routine in ESP.
Chapter 6 Autocalibration Follow this procedure for all three methods of autocalibration: 1. Set your scan rate at the appropriate speed for your application. 2. Position your bar code symbol at the distance used in your application and confirm that it is at a distance within the specifications for that symbol size (see “Position Scanner and Symbol” on page 1-12). 3.
6–Autocalibration Autocalibration by ESP Autocalibration by ESP 1. Click on the Autocalibration button on the overhead toolbar. 2. Click on the Auto Cal button to start autocalibration. An Autocalibration in Progress message will be displayed on your monitor along with the pass number and information on the focus, gain, and tracking. Allow some time for the scanner to cycle through the focus, gain, and tracking settings. Do not move or disturb scanner or label while Autocalibration is in progress.
Chapter 6 Autocalibration In the advanced tab in the Autocalibration menu you can constrain the scan width of the scan beam with Laser Framing and set up the rules the scanner will follow when making the first pass of the autocalibration procedure. Laser Framing Sets the length of time the laser is ON during each scan so that only a selected portion of the scan width is effectively scanned. To adjust the scan width: 1. First click on Framing Status. 2.
6–Autocalibration Autocalibration by ESP Auto Range Enabling Auto Range will improve speed, but with a caveat. With Auto Range, the scanner will focus outward until it senses an object by signal strength and begin looking for a decodable symbol from there. This will result in quicker acquisition, but only if other objects closer to the scanner are not mistaken for the bar-coded object. Again, the user should experiment with this routine until satisfactory results are achieved.
Chapter 6 Autocalibration Note: Autocalibration by Serial Command is useful for quick calibration; however, to do autocalibration and save your settings to the Configuration Database, or to make changes to related parameters, see “Autocalibration by ESP” on page 6-4 or “Autocalibration by Embedded Menu” on page 6-8. For a quick calibration of your label, send the <@CAL> serial command (see “Autocalibrate Scanner” on page 1-13 for details) and observe the results.
6–Autocalibration Autocalibration by Embedded Menu Autocalibration by Embedded Menu To calibrate via the embedded Autocalibration menu, do the following: 1. Place the sample label at a fixed position in the center of the read range being tested. 2. Enter Autocalibration menu by sending an <@> command from a terminal. Figure 6-5 Embedded Autocalibration Setup Menu 3. If the application requires a change in scan rate, do the motor speed adjustment now with the M or N commands.
Chapter 6 Autocalibration Scanner Settings Motor Speed, Gain Setting, and Tracking adjustments affect the read performance. Focus controls a stepper motor that physically slides a lens back and forth to control focal length. These settings are adjusted automatically in autocalibration. The status of these parameters is displayed on the bottom line of the menu under Motor, Gain, Track, and Focus (see “Overview of Optoelectrics” on page 8-4.
6–Autocalibration Autocalibration by Embedded Menu Autocalibration Menu Options START Autocalibration Typing A initiates an Autocalibration sequence. Once entered, no other keystrokes will be accepted with the exception of the ESC key, which terminates the routine. RECALL Initial Settings Typing B restores the original settings that were present upon entering the Autocalibration Setup Menu. These settings include Motor Speed, Gain, Tracking, and Focus.
Chapter 6 Autocalibration To access Calibration Results menu from within the Autocalibration Setup menu, (figure 6-5 on page 6-8) type the number 1. Figure 6-6 Embedded Calibration Results Menu The Calibration Results menu (an example shown here) shows the results of the autocalibration process for Read Rate, Gain, and Tracking both the first and second passes. Note that the first pass has only one reading for each parameter.
6–Autocalibration Autocalibration by Embedded Menu Advanced Autocalibration Setup Embedded Menu The Advanced Autocalibration Setup menu allows you to change the starting focus position and the number of focus steps during the first pass. For example, if you are preparing to do autocalibration on labels whose minimum distances from the scanner is 40 inches, there is no reason for autocalibration to cycle through all of the focal positions inside 40 inches.

Overview of Optoelectrics Overview of Optoelectrics Definition: A database index of up to seven pre-defined optical indexes of settings defining focus, gain, and tracking can be accessed and applied in the following modes: 1. by timer in which all indexes are attempted over a predefined timeout period. 2. by an automatic search for the best database index. 3. by a combination of up to three control trigger inputs to dynamically select the optimum database index.
Chapter 8 Optoelectrics Optoelectric Database Modes Definition: A database index of up to seven pre-defined optical indexes of settings defining focus, gain, and tracking can be accessed and applied in the following modes: 1. by a timer in which all settings cycle throughout the time duration 2. by an automatic search for the best database index 3.
Optoelectric Database Modes Timer Mode Definition: When this mode is selected, the scanner cycles through database settings at a time interval determined in Timer Value setting. (See “Timer Value” on page 8-11.) Important Note: The maximum time to move from the most inside focus position to the most outside focus position is 400 ms. One focus position change takes 10 ms. Usage: Useful in applications in which there is enough time to cycle through the database index.
Chapter 8 Optoelectrics Control Trigger Mode Definition: When Optoelectric Control mode is set to Control Trigger, input 1, new master pin, and the trigger input pins are de-activated and reassigned as control triggers. When activated, a read cycle will be triggered and—in accordance with their respective states—select from a database of up to seven pre-defined optical settings of Focus, Gain, and Tracking. (See Chapter 7, “Calibration Database.
Optoelectric Database Modes Process: To use Control Trigger: 1. Setup your application’s labels by code type/size in the various positions and/or code type/size at which they will likely appear. 2. Sketch out a diagram as in figure 8-1. 3. Setup your sensors or other controls. For example, the three object sensors, 1, 2 & 3, are connected to input 1, new master pin, and trigger input respectively. The bar coded packages on the left are numbered here according to their database index numbers.
Chapter 8 Optoelectrics Control Trigger #1 Definition: When Control Trigger mode is enabled, Control Trigger #1 “hijacks” Input 1 (see “Discrete I/0” in chapter 14) and uses it to select an optoelectric configuration from the configuration database. Active state is set by Input 1 serial command.
Optoelectric Database Modes Number of Active Database Settings Definition: This value sets the number of configuration database settings (in Database Index) that are active. If Control Trigger mode has been selected, this setting is ignored. Usage: Can be useful when certain settings that are needed in one application are not needed in another and processing time is at a premium.
Chapter 8 Optoelectrics Timer Value Definition: When Timer mode is enabled, Timer Value is the time interval in which database index settings are cycled. Usage: Useful in slower applications where there is enough time to cycle through the database index.

Raster/Laser Setup by ESP Menus Click on this button to bring up the Raster/Laser menu. To change a setting, double-click on the setting and use your curser to scroll through the options. Note: Setup commands in the ESP-MP are accessed from both the Read Cycle/Triggering menu and the Raster button on the toolbar. Raster/Laser Setup by Embedded Menu 9–Raster/Laser Con- To access the Raster/Laser menu from within the Autocalibration Setup menu (page 6-8), type the number 2.
Chapter 9 Raster/Laser Control Raster Setup Definition: The user can enable raster scanning and adjust the sweep range (the upper and lower limits of the raster sweep). Usage: Raster scanning is useful when labels vary in placement and a single scan line cannot be counted on to cross the label. Raster scanning is also useful in reading PDF417.
Raster Setup Bottom Offset Definition: Increasing the Bottom Offset value causes the bottom of the raster pattern to move down. Serial Cmd: Default: 127 Options: 0 to 255 9–Raster/Laser Con- Note: For single scan line operation, set Top Offset equal to Bottom Offset or click on the Static Line option.
Chapter 9 Raster/Laser Control Raster Sweep Rate Definition: The raster sweep rate is the number of sweeps per second the raster mirror completes. A sweep is one pass of the raster, up or down. The maximum sweep rate is limited by the size of the arc the raster must move through. Usage: If your application allows it, a slower sweep rate can produce more scans per second and better read rates. To determine the minimum read rate for your application, see “Raster Picket Fence Calculation” on page A-32.
Laser Setup Laser Setup The laser can be turned off between read cycles and the duration of the scan and hence the width of the scan can also be adjusted. Laser On/Off Status Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: When enabled, the laser is ON only during the read cycle. When disabled, the laser operates continuously. Laser On/Off extends the life of the laser. It is useful where there are significant time gaps between symbols.
Chapter 9 Raster/Laser Control Laser Framing Status Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Sets the length of time the laser is ON during each scan so that only a selected portion of the scan width is effectively scanned. This is useful to avoid highly reflective objects, for filtering out unwanted signals and avoiding the wrong symbols.
Laser Setup Laser Off Time Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Duration of laser off time, in increments of 1/255th of the total scan width. Important: The combined values of Laser Off Time and Laser On Time cannot exceed 255 which is the duration of one scan. 0 0 to 255 When setting up Laser Framing in ESP-MP, use the Off Time and On Time arrows to constrain or expand the laser framing area.

10–Scanner Setup Scan Speed Scan Speed (factory setting) Definition: Allows the user to set the number of scans per second by controlling the spinning mirror motor speed. Usage: Typically, to ensure a minimum number of scans, faster scan speeds are used for fast moving labels and/or longer labels with larger bar widths. Note: Scan beams will be moving faster across labels further out in the scan range since the moving beam is being projected from a spinning mirror.
Chapter 10 Scanner Setup Focus Position Definition: Focus is the act of narrowing the focal spot to its smallest size and sharpest edges at the desired distance from the scanner by moving an internal lens in discrete movement with a stepper motor. Focus Position is the length of the internal lens. Usage: Focus is generally done by the Autocalibration routine (see Chapter 6, “Autocalibration”).
10–Scanner Setup Gain Adjustment Gain Adjustment Definition: Sets a voltage amplitude value for the analog circuitry. Usage: Can be useful for fine-tuning gain or when portions of analog signals spike as in the case of specular reflection or extraneous noise. Caution: Changes to Gain are typically done by qualified technicians in Autocalibration. See Chapter 6, “Autocalibration.” Serial Cmd: Default: Default is 40 (nominal).
Chapter 10 Scanner Setup Definition: During the read cycle, the scanner counts the number of bar and space transitions defined in the Transition Counter Threshold. If the count matches or exceeds the threshold, the scanner will perform AGC routines.
10–Scanner Setup Maximum Element Maximum Element Definition: Maximum Element represents the maximum bar element width that’s allowed before a video reset occurs (default to white). Usage: Useful if having difficulty reading large element symbols like PDF417. Caution: Do not change this parameter unless instructed by a Microscan representative. Serial Cmd: Default: 1000 (30.

Chapter 11 Matchcode Matchcode by Embedded Menu For information on accessing the embedded menus, see “Embedded Menus” on page A-23.
Overview of Matchcode 11–Matchcode Overview of Matchcode Definition: With Matchcode you can store master label data in the scanner’s memory, compare this data against the scanned bar codes, and define how label data and/or discrete signal output will be directed. A master label database can be setup for up to 10 master labels. See “Master Label Database” on page 11-11.
Chapter 11 Matchcode Matchcode Type Definition: Allows the user to choose the way that master labels will be compared with subsequently scanned labels. Note: First set Triggering Mode to External or Serial. ESP: 11–Matchcode Serial Cmd: Default: Disabled Options: 0 1 2 3 Disabled: Has no effect on operations.
Matchcode Type 11–Matchcode Sequential Matching Definition: With Sequential enabled, Sequential Matching determines if a count is in ascending (incremental) or descending (decremental) order. Usage: Useful in tracking product serial numbers that increment or decrement sequentially.
Chapter 11 Matchcode Match Length Defines the length of the character string that will be compared with that of the master label when Match Start Position is set to 1 or greater. when Match Start Position is set to 0, no comparison will occur. Usage: For example, if Match Length is set to 6 in a 10 character symbol, and Match Start Position is set for 2, only the 2nd through 7th characters (from left to right) will be compared.
Matchcode Type 11–Matchcode Sequence On Noread Definition: When Sequence On Noread is Enabled and Matchcode is set to Sequential, the scanner sequences the master label on every match or noread. When disabled, it does not sequence on a noread. Usage: Sequence On Noread is useful when the scanner needs to stay in sequence even if no decode occurs.
Chapter 11 Matchcode Sequence On Mismatch Note: Matchcode must be set to Sequential for this command to function. When set to Enabled, the master label sequences on every decode, match or mismatch. When set to Disabled, the master label will not sequence whenever consecutive mismatches occur. Usage: Enable this parameter if every trigger event should have a decode and more than one consecutive mismatch may occur.
Matchcode Type 11–Matchcode Sequence Step Definition: Sequencing in Matchcode operations can occur in steps from 1 to 32,768. Sequencing performs like a mechanical counter by displaying positive integers and a specific number of digits after roll-overs. For example, 000 – 3 = 997 (not –3) and 999 + 3 = 002 (not 1002). Usage: Useful in applications in which it is desirable to count by intervals other than 1.
Chapter 11 Matchcode Master Label Database Important: Master Label Database is used only for comparing entire bar codes, when Sequential and Wild Card are NOT enabled, and Start Position is equal to 0. Master Label Database Overview Allows you to define up to 10 master labels as the master label database, which can be entered by keyboard, scanned-in, displayed, or deleted by serial or ESP commands.
Master Label Database Enter Master Label Data Allows you to enter master label data for a specific master label index number (1 to 10), provided the index number is not larger than the number of labels enabled by the Master Label Database Size (see page 11-11). For example, if Master Label Database Size is set to 2, you will not be able to enter data for labels 3 through 10. ESP: Click the Output Format button on the tool bar and click the Master Database tab.
Chapter 11 Matchcode Caution: Since the total number of characters available for the master label data base is2710 changes to the Master Label Data Base Size will re-allocate the number of characters available for each master label and could cause existing master labels to be deleted (except master label #1 unless it also exceeds the size limitation). The table below specifies the maximum number of characters available to each label according to the number of master labels defined, from 1 through 10.
Master Label Database 11–Matchcode Delete Master Label Data Definition: You can directly delete the master label data by serial command or ESP. ESP: You can also delete master label data for any master label by erasing the data in the Master Database popup window (under Output Format) and clicking OK, as shown here. Serial Cmd: To delete a master label, enter the database number and a comma, but leave the data field empty.
Chapter 11 Matchcode Store Next Label Scanned as Master Label1 Definition: After you’ve set the size in the database (“Master Label Database Size” on page 11-11), you can order the scanner to scan-in the next label as the master label for any given master label number. ESP: In the Master Database tab, under the Output Format menu 1. Select the master label index number in which you want to store the label data. 11–Matchcode 2. Click on the Scan Label into Selected Index.
New Master Pin 11–Matchcode New Master Pin Definition: After New Master Pin is enabled, a pulse can be received on the new master pin which will cause the scanner to record the next decoded bar code label(s) as the new master label(s). It is important to note that the enabling New Master Pin does not in itself cause a master label to be recorded. The master pin must then be activated momentarily (for a minimum of 10 ms) before a master label can be scanned into memory.

Noread Message Noread Message Definition: Usage: When enabled, and if no bar code label has been decoded before timeout or the end of the read cycle, the noread message will be transmitted to the host. Used in applications where the host needs serial verification that a label has not been read and especially useful in new print verification.
Chapter 12 Outputs Bar Code Output Note: Bar Code Output relates to data and should not to be confused with Outputs 1, 2, and 3 listed in the Outputs Parameters which describe output states and functions. Bar Code Output Status Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Defines the conditions under which decoded bar code labels are transmitted to the host. Useful when the host needs bar code data only under certain conditions.
Bar Code Output Mismatch Definition: Usage: With Mismatch enabled, the scanner transmits bar code data whenever the bar code data information does NOT match the master label. Note: A noread can still be transmitted if enabled. Mismatch is typically used as a flag within the host system to prevent an item from being routed in the wrong container. Good Read Definition: Usage: With Good Read enabled, the scanner transmits bar code data on any good read regardless of Matchcode Type setting.
Chapter 12 Outputs End of Read Cycle Definition: Enabling End of Read Cycle means that bar code data does not get sent to the host until the read cycle ends with a timeout or new trigger. End of read cycle Start of read cycle Read cycle Duration Host activates trigger This is when host expects output Figure 12-1 Read Cycle Usage: End of Read Cycle is useful in timing-based systems in which the host is not ready to accept data at the time it is decoded.
Serial Verification Serial Verification Allows the user to verify configuration command status. Serial Command Echo Status Definition: Function: 12–Outputs Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: When enabled, a configuration command received from the host is echoed back to the host with the resultant settings. If a command with multiple fields is processed, some of the fields may have been processed properly while others were not.
Chapter 12 Outputs Control/Hex Output Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Determines the response to an Serial Command Echo or status request command. When set to Control, two characters are transmitted to represent a non-displayable character. For example, a carriage return will be shown as the two characters: ^M. When set to Hex, the output is the hex character. Useful for viewing settings with binary characters when using serial command on a terminal.
Beeper Status Beeper Status Definition: A beep is emitted either after each good read of a bar code label or after each noread. Note: Beeper will also sound if any of the following occur: • the scanner is defaulted • a send/save command from ESP or an Exit command from any embedded menu Usage: • a , , , or command is sent Can be used as an audible verification that either a good read or a noread has occurred.
Chapter 12 Outputs Quality Output Definition: Usage: Allows the host to track the number of good reads per trigger by appending a five digit numeric field to the end of bar code label data. When enabled, bar code data is followed by a separator, followed by the five digits in the form of 00000. For example, a certain bar code that has been averaging 00100 reads per read cycle suddenly drops to 00012, this would be a good indication that a problem has arisen even though good reads are still occurring.

Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Output Format/Filtering by Embedded Menu For information on accessing the embedded menus, see “Embedded Menus” on page A-23.
Overview of Output Format/Filtering Overview of Output Format/Filtering Output Format consists of a set of criteria expressed in Extraction and Insertion serial or ESP menu commands that can be chained together to control the presentation of data that is transmitted from decoded bar code labels. If a label does not meet the defined criteria, it is treated as a noread. Note that Extraction and Insertion functions are independent of Ordered Output criteria.
Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Extraction Mode Definition: Usage: Selects a portion of a bar code data to be transmitted and ignores the rest. Useful in scanning labels in which only a portion or portions of the bar code data needs to be transmitted and sorted. Extraction by ESP 1. Click on Read Label. This will display in the current bar code data under Original. 2. Select text to be extracted 13–Output Format 3. Click on Extract 4.
Extraction Mode Extraction by Serial Command Output # Definition: ESP: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: An Output # identifies the step involved in an output format process. For example, if the routine involves a series of 6 Extraction and/or Insertion steps, each of these steps is controlled by assigning sequential output numbers from 1 to 4. Output # appears in the Advanced Formatting tab. (none) Must be entered.
Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Insertion Mode Definition: Usage: Inserts up to four characters at a time into a data output string. You can add additional characters by repeating the procedure. Useful in adding designators or separators to add meaning or content to data in applications where label data needs to be sorted. Note: Insertion by ESP is much simpler than by serial command because the text and sequences can be visually verified.
Insertion Mode Insertion by Serial Command Output # Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: An Output # identifies the step involved in an output format process. For example, if the Output Format routine involved a series of four Extraction and/or Insertion steps, each of these steps is controlled by assigning sequential output numbers from 1 to 4. (none) Must be entered.
Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Advanced Output Format by ESP Advanced Formatting allows you to view and edit up to 100 formatting steps. Typically, extraction and insertion entries are made in the Output Format screen(figure 13-3) and viewed on the Advanced Formatting screen (figure 13-3). You can also make adjustments in the Advanced Formatting screen by double-clicking on any of the rows. Double-click in any row to bring up the Output Format Settings dialog.
Multilabel Output Format Assignment Multilabel Output Format Assignment Label Output Format Status corresponds directly with labels setup in Multilabel. If Number of Labels in Multilabel is set to the default 1, then only Label #1 in Label Output Format Status will be enabled. See “Multilabel” on page 4-16. Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Specifies the label in a multilabel operation to which output format status is being applied.
Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Ordered Output/Filtering Definition: Usage: Serial Cmd: Ordered Output involves filtering and ordering. In the filtering stage, each label in a read cycle is read and matched against a user-defined table of up to 12 filters which search on code type, code length and data contents. A given label must meet all three criteria in any one of the filters in order to be included.
Ordered Output/Filtering Ordered Output/Filtering by Embedded Menu Embedded Menu: Ordered Output/Filtering by Serial Command 13–Output Format Filter # Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: The filter sequence number from 1 to 12 0 Range 1 to 12 Code Type Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: User-assigned code type that the scanner will search for. If a match is found, the scanner then checks Length.
Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Wildcard Character Definition: Serial Cmd: Default: Options: Wildcard Character indicates that any number of characters that follow the wildcard will be regarded as matches. For example, “123*” will match “123”, “123456”, “123ABC”, but not “12”. Filter data ”123*AB?C” will be interpreted as “123*” Both Wildcard Character and Placeholder Character can be mixed in the same filter data.
Ordered Output/Filtering For example: Filter data “123*” matches “123”, “123456”, “123ABC” but not “12”. Filter data “123*AB?C” will be interpreted as “123*” Filter data “123?A?” matches “1234AB”, “123BAT”, but not “1234A” or “123BATS”. Filter data “12??*” matches “1234”, “123456”, “123ABC”, but not “12”, “123”. Filter data “123?A*” matches “1234A”, “123BA”, “123BATS”, but not “1234”, “1234C”. For example: enables Output Filters #1 setting.
Chapter 13 Output Format and Filtering Examples: Filter #1 Code type = Code 39, Length = disabled, Wildcard = ‘*’, placeholder = ‘?’, data = “AB*” = 41422A Filter #2 Code type = Code 128, Length = 8, Wildcard = ‘*’, placeholder = ‘?’, data = “NBC??FGH” = 4e42433f3f464748. enables Ordered Output. It also enables filter#1 and filter#2. Let’s say we have four labels, “NBCXYFGH”, “NBDXYFGH”, “123XYZ”, “ABCDE”.
Master Database in ESP Master Database in ESP 13–Output Format When you click the Master Database tab in the Output Format menu, you bring up a table for convenient entry of master label data for up to 10 entries. See “Master Label Database” on page 11-11 for details.

Embedded Menus Appendix H — Embedded Menus In addition to ESP-MP, you can also use a communications menu such as Microsoft’s HyperTerminal to establish communication with Microscan’s embedded menus.1 1. With your host connected to the 9-pin configuration port, set your host communications settings as follows: 57.6K baud, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bits, and None Parity. With your host connected to the 25-pin configuration port, set your host communications settings as follows: 9600, 7, 1, and Even. 2.
Appendix I Appendix I — Defaulting/Saving/Initializing Defaults are original or saved settings. Defaulting occurs when default settings (from flash or user-saved NOVRAM) are restored. Defaulting might be necessary if you have make temporary changes, communications between the scanner and another device are lost or interrupted, or you are using incompatible equipment (for example, a terminal that is set at 9600 baud communicating with a scanner that is set at 38.4K baud).
Defaulting/Saving/Initializing Restore Flash Defaults to Active Memory and for Power-on Caution: Defaulting the scanner to flash default settings will overwrite user-saved NOVRAM settings. • Restores flash defaults to memory. Active Memory • Restores flash defaults to user-saved NOVRAM for power-on. • Initializes serial configuration commands in active memory and resets counters to zero. Initialize User-Saved NOVRAM Flash Defaults By Serial Command Send command to the scanner. By ESP 1.
Appendix I Saving Save Active Settings except Factory for Power-on • Initializes serial configuration commands in active memory and resets counters to zero. Initialize • Saves all active settings except factory settings to NOVRAM for power-on. By Software Command Send command to the scanner. By ESP Active Memory User-Saved NOVRAM Flash Defaults Right-click in the configuration window and select Save to Scanner, Send and Save.
Defaulting/Saving/Initializing Initializing Initializing is a part of all save and default functions. It is also used as a follow-on to implement serial configuration commands into active memory. • Initializes serial configuration commands in Initialize active memory and resets counters to zero. • Does not save settings to NOVRAM. Active Memory By Serial Command Send after a serial configuration command or a string of serial configuration commands, for example, .
Appendix J Appendix J — Position Scanner and Bar Code In positioning the scanner in relation to the bar codes being scanner, consider the following: • Position the scanner in a place devoid of sunlight, bright lights, or laser light from other sources. • Avoid excessive tilt, skew, or pitch. Maximum tilt is determined by label characteristics and the number of decodes required. Maximum skew is ±40°; maximum pitch is ±50°.
Position Object Detector Appendix K — Position Object Detector In a typical operation, a scanner will wait for bar code data only during a triggered read cycle. A read cycle is initiated by a “trigger” and can be in the form of a serial command from the host (internal trigger) or a signal from an object detector (external trigger). When an object detector (also called a sensor, package detector, etc.
Appendix L Appendix L — Test Decode Rate With a Static Label 1. Position a stationary bar code in front of a functioning scanner at the scan distance used in your application. 2. Set for single scan line scanning (Top Offset setting equal to Bottom Offset). 3. Enter a command to see the decodes per second. The decode rate is the number of decoded scans per total number of scan. It will appear at the beginning of the data strings.
Formulas for Number of Decodes Appendix M — Formulas for Number of Decodes To ensure reliable scanning, apply a minimum of five decodes to each bar code. Use the formulas below to calculate the number of decodes that your label will receive. If the number of decodes you derive from one of these calculations is less than the minimum for your application, plug in the minimum number of decodes (5) and solve for another parameter that might be changed, such as label speed or scans per second.
Appendix M Raster Picket Fence Calculation Direction of label travel For raster picket fence scanning, the number of decodes (ND) is calculated in two formulas, one for sweep rate and the other for number of decodes. Sweep Rate. Raster pattern Since the speed of the raster (SwR) cannot exceed 10 you first need to ensure that you can achieve this by solving for Figure A-8 Raster sweep rate (SwR). Sweep rate is the number of raster Picket Fence sweeps (up or down) that occur in a second.
Formulas for Number of Decodes Single Scan Line Picket Fence Calculation For single scan line picket fence scanning (Top Offset setting equal to Bottom Offset), use the following formula: SW – LL ) (--------------------------× DR – 3 = number of complete decodes 1 LS Direction of label travel Example: LL = 2 inches (including quiet zones) LS = 100 inches per second SW = 4 inches Scan Line DR = 1000 decodes per second 4 – 2) (---------------× 1000 – 3 = 17 complete decodes 100 Figure A-9 P
Appendix M Label Speed Applies to both picket fence and ladder oriented labels. If your application allows it, slowing label speed (the time in seconds that a label is fully within the scan width of the scanner) is an effective way to increase the number of decodes. Raster Height When using the raster features, you can increase the decode rate by decreasing the height of the raster image.
Operational Tips Appendix N — Operational Tips Do: • Check inputs (label speed, length, height, etc.) to ensure the desired number of decodes per label. • For optimum decodes, mount scanner so that your labels pass through the center of the depth-of-field (minimum/maximum range). You find the center by moving your label in and out during a read rate test. • Avoid excessive tilt, pitch, and skew of the bar code label. • Check the bar code label for readability by doing a decode rate test.
Appendix O Appendix O — Interface Standards Interface Standards, established by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), specify such things as the signaling voltage levels, maximum cable lengths, and number of drivers. With Microscan devices, selection of interface is made by pin assignment and, in the case of the host communications, by software switching between RS-232 and RS-422. Microscan devices use RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 multidrop.
Interface Standards ProfiBus DP PROFIBUS is a vendor-independent, open field bus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and process automation. Vendor-independence and openness are ensured by the international standards EN 50170 and EN 50254. PROFIBUS allows communication between devices of different manufacturers without any special interface adjustment. PROFIBUS can be used for both high-speed time critical applications and complex communication tasks.
Appendix P Appendix P — Multidrop Communications This appendix describes the rules for setting up a concentrator or controller to communicate with a scanner in standard Multidrop protocol. The diagram to the right shows a typical Multidrop network in which 1 to 50 scanners can communicate with a host via an intermediary device, a concentrator or a controller.
Multidrop Communications Connect to Scanner via the Concentrator You will need a multidrop concentrator and the required power supplies and cabling to communicate with your scanner(s). 1. From the Communications drop down menu, select Configure Multidrop to bring up the Multidrop Settings dialog. 2. If necessary, change the default address to match the address of your multidropped scanner and click OK.
Appendix P Polling Sequence Data that is transmitted to the host (bar code data, noread messages, counters, etc.) via concentrators is solicited by poll requests from the host. The polling sequence example by poll address 1E (ASCII hex value for Scanner 02) and a REQ (request). The scanner responds by first transmitting its own address, 1E, followed by a STX (start of text) character, and then the data. Next it transmits an ETX (end of text) character and an LRC (longitudinal redundancy check) character.
Multidrop Communications Select Sequence Unlike poll requests, select commands always originate from the host and consist of serial configuration or operation commands to devices that are configured in Multidrop. The scanner complies with the command when it is polled during the cycle.
