Chapter Basic Operations 33 Chapter Contents Step 1 Practice Targeting ........................................................................3-2 Step 2 Determine Optimum Position........................................................3-3 Step 3 Select Quadrus or Basic Mode.....................................................3-4 Step 4 Lock Settings on Test Symbol ......................................................3-5 Step 5 Complete Configuration.......................................................
Practice Targeting Step 1 — Practice Targeting The laser beam can be harmful to eyesight. Avoid eye contact with the laser beam. Never point the beam at other people, or in a direction where people may be passing. When first connecting, allow approximately 3 seconds for the MS-Q to initialize. 1. Hold the Imager steady and point at a bar code symbol between 2.75 and 4.5 inches (70 to 114 mm) away (High Resolution Option) or between 4 inches and 9 inches (102 to 229 mm) away (Standard Resolution Option).
Basic Operations Step 2 — Determine Optimum Position 1. Position the Imager in front of the symbol. • High Resolution Option: 2.75” (70 mm) for Near Field or 4.5” (114 mm) for Far Field. • Standard Resolution Option: 4” (102 mm) for Near Field and 9” (229 mm) for Far Field. 2. Determine the optimum read position by triggering at different distances and angles. 3. To speed up decoding, try enabling Near Field or Far Field only. (By default, Both Fields are enabled.
Select Quadrus or Basic Mode Step 3 — Select Quadrus or Basic Mode This feature is available for MS-Q Quadrus Imagers only. The firmware in the MS-Q Quadrus Imager allows you to toggle easily between the specialized Quadrus Mode that is preferred for DPM (Direct Part Marking) or the more generalized Basic Mode that includes all of the capabilities of the MS-Q Basic Imagers. The Quadrus Imager decodes Data Matrix code (both ECC 200 and ECC 0-140) and QR code.
Basic Operations Step 4 — Lock Settings on Test Symbol This feature is available for MS-Q Quadrus Imagers only. When you read symbols in the MS-Q Quadrus Imager default setup, the Imager is in the Adaptive Mode. In this mode when the Imager is activated from the handle trigger, it attempts to decode in both the Near Field and Far Field resolutions, checks for both standard or reverse images, and cycles through various gain values until a decode is achieved.
Complete Configuration Step 5 — Complete Configuration For the MS-Q Basic Imager, in the default configuration, both the left and right buttons as well as the handle trigger can initiate reads. For the MS-Q Quadrus Imager, in the default configuration, the right button and handle also initiate reads; however, the left button is used to toggle between the Quadrus and Basic Modes.
Basic Operations Performing a Hardware Default Occasionally it may become necessary to reset your Imager to its factory default configuration. If your Imager is locked or is failing to read, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the Imager from the handle attachment’s cradle. 2. Disengage the USB or RS-232 cable from the bottom of the handle. Do not pull directly on the cable; grasp and pull on the connector housing to release the locking mechanism and disengage. 3. Remove the battery or battery blank.
Performing a Hardware Default 6. Press and hold down the Imager’s left and right top buttons while reinserting the cable into the bottom of the handle attachment. 7. When the cable is fully inserted, the Imager will beep five times. The left indicator LED will be RED and the right indicator LED will be GREEN. 8. Press and hold down both the left and right top buttons until the left indicator LED switches off.

Communications Communications Overview All MS-Q Handheld Imagers are shipped with a USB or PS2 cable. You can also add RS232 and Bluetooth capabilities and configure your Imager accordingly. Whenever you default the Imager, it will return to USB or PS2 Keyboard Mode, depending on which interface you are using. Defaulting the Imager does not remove preamble and postamble formatting. PS2 With PS2 communications, the MS-Q Imager connects directly into the host’s keyboard port from which it draws its power.
PS2 Interface PS2 Interface PS2 Keyboard is the default interface in which data is transferred to a Windows text program as keyboard data. This interface requires a PS2 Imager model. See “PS2 Interface” on page 1-4 for detailed steps on setting up the PS2 interface. PS2 Keyboard Data is entered as keyboard sequences. Read this symbol whenever you are changing from a different interface to PS2.
Communications RS-232 Interface Enabling either of these modes will disable USB or PS2 communications and require you to default the Imager or read the “USB Keyboard” symbol (page 44) to return to USB. See “RS-232 Interface” on page 1-5 for detailed steps on setting up the RS232 Interface. RS-232 Mode This mode is the standard way of transferring unformatted, unpacketized data through the RS-232 port. You will need to read this symbol whenever you set up for RS-232 communications.
RS-232 Interface Parity (RS-232) Definition: An error detection routine in which one data bit in each character is set to 1 or 0 so that the total number of 1 bits in the data field is even or odd. Usage: Only changed if necessary to match host setting. None (Default) Odd Even Stop Bits (RS-232) 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.
Communications Preamble Definition: Defines a character or characters that will be added to the front of the decoded data. Characters will appear in the order that they are read in (from left to right). A double read will result in two of the same characters or actions. There is no limit to the number of preamble and postamble characters except the total memory size. If you read the symbols below, you might lose your current settings.
Postamble Postamble Definition: Defines a character or characters that can be added to the end of the decoded data. Characters will appear in the order that they are read in (from left to right). A double read will result in two of the same characters or actions. If you read the symbols below, you might lose your current settings. Be sure to save your current settings before reading the following: All Interfaces Steps for enabling a postamble: 1.
Communications Preamble and Postamble by ESP Characters and commands can also be added to the beginning and end of data strings using ESP. There are a few different ways to do this, using the matrix to the right of the Communications tree control. Enter preamble text in this field. Enter postamble text in this field. Save pre- and postamble settings, or send them directly to the reader. Scroll through a list of all preamble and postamble options, and then just insert.
Keyboard Mapping Keyboard Mapping Definition: Data is mapped according to US keyboard or ASCII. Usage: Provides alternatives for keyboards that do not conform to US keyboard mapping. This is not to be confused with USB Keyboard Mode which has an entirely different function, namely to enable USB cabled communications. (See “USB Interface” on page 1-3). US Keyboard Mapping Data is mapped as if it were typed on a US keyboard.
Communications Time Stamp Settings The MS-Q has a time stamp feature that when enabled inserts the time in front of each read in the form of an 8-digit preamble representing days, hours, minutes, and seconds in the following format: ddhhmmss (day day/ hour hour/minute minute/seconds seconds). The time stamp is in relative time and starts over whenever the Imager is powered-on.

Bluetooth Overview Bluetooth Overview This Bluetooth version of the MS-Q includes an internal Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows for point to point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial port protocol (SPP). For quick setup information for connecting your Bluetooth Imager with the Microscan Bluetooth modem, see “Bluetooth Interface” on page 1-6.
Bluetooth Connecting to the MS-Q Bluetooth Modem Two-Way Communication This is the mode used when communicating with the MS-Q Bluetooth modem. It is used when there is a need for bidirectional communication between the MS-Q and an application by radio frequency (i.e. Time Stamp, Error Checking, Shared Access, etc.). The Imager receives confirmation via packet protocol verification and is 100% reliable. To connect with the Bluetooth modem: 1. Read the RF Two-Way Mode symbol. 2.
Connecting to the MS-Q Bluetooth Modem One-Way Mode One-Way Mode is not supported by the Microscan Bluetooth modem. One-Way Mode is supported by most other Bluetooth modems (e.g. Belkin). While robust, One-Way modes do not receive packet verification. Therefore data integrity cannot be guaranteed and some data could be lost. One-Way Mode is only recommended when connecting to a device well within the Imager’s specified range or if connected to a device without an operating system (e.g. printer).
Bluetooth Bluetooth Access In the default access mode (Private Access) only one Imager can access the modem, provided that the Imager remains active. However, more than one Bluetooth Imager can connect and automatically transmit to a single host modem, provided that each Imager has been setup for communication with a Bluetooth modem and Shared Access in enabled for each.
Sleep Mode Timeout Sleep Mode Timeout Following a period of inactivity, the Imager will go into Sleep Mode, during which it will no longer signal its presence to the modem. It leaves Sleep Mode whenever the Imager is powered-on or a read is attempted. Read the symbols below to set the period of time before Bluetooth will enter Sleep Mode from inactivity. When coming out of Sleep Mode, you can anticipate about 5 seconds of connect time before a symbol can be read and transmitted.

Battery Battery Installation See “Batch/Battery Interface” on page 1-7 for instructions on installing the battery. Charging the Lithium Ion Battery The battery automatically charges every time a cable interface is attached to the MS-Q and the host is powered-on. The RS-232 interface power adapter must be plugged into a wall socket for the battery to charge.1 In USB and PS2 interfaces, the MS-Q and battery draw their current from the host computer.
Batch/Battery Batch Mode Options The MS-Q unit features a Batch Mode for applications requiring a portable Imager. Batch Mode allows a user to store scanned data to the Imager’s non-volatile memory and later transfer that data to a host computer when connected, either by USB and RS-232 cable or by Bluetooth. The MS-Q dedicated batch memory is a minimum of 1MB.
Reconnecting to the Host Reconnecting to the Host When reconnected to the host, or when the Bluetooth Radio is back in range, the Imager will automatically detect the connection and, depending on the Batch Mode, transfer or log (retain) buffered data. The Imager is considered connected if: • It is in RF Two-Way Mode and the Bluetooth radio is in range and active. • It is in PS2 Keyboard Mode and a PS2 cable is connecting the Imager to a host via the keyboard.
Batch/Battery RS-232 Batch Features RS-232 interfaces WILL NOT detect when an RS-232 cable is removed unless the power adapter for the RS-232 cable is plugged in. If your power cable is unplugged, you may still enter Batch Mode by scanning the RS-232 Batch symbol below. However, when you return and re-connect to the RS-232 adapter you must enable RS-232 Cabled to put the Imager back into Cabled Mode. In RS-232 Cabled the Imager thinks it is always connected.
Performing a Manual Battery Recharge Performing a Manual Battery Recharge If the MS-Q’s lithium ion battery is allowed to lose 100% of its charge, the Imager will become locked in a continual vibration cycle. The mechanism of vibration is the same as the “successful decode” indicator, which can be switched between beep and vibrate. However, when the Imager vibrates to indicate total loss of battery charge, it is unable to decode symbol data and it cannot be defaulted.
Batch/Battery USB Battery Charge Mode If you choose to charge the MS-Q Handheld Imager’s battery with a USB connection, you have the option of using USB Battery Charge Mode. This mode dedicates most of the power available from the USB connection to charging the battery. Read the symbol below to enable USB Battery Charge Mode. Enable USB Battery Charge Mode Default to Previous Settings (Disable USB Battery Charge Mode) The Imager is able to read and decode symbol data while in USB Battery Charge Mode.

Advanced Operations Chapter 9 Chapter Contents Select Region of Interest .........................................................................9-2 Calculate FOV from Tables .....................................................................9-3 Set Decode Timeouts ..............................................................................9-5 Set Targeting Zone Tolerances ...............................................................9-6 Continuous Operations .......................................
Select Region of Interest Select Region of Interest You can speed up the decode rate and lower your chances of reading the wrong symbol by narrowing the region of interest, the pixel area in the Imager that is evaluated during a read attempt. If your application uses symbols that are significantly and consistently smaller than the default decode zone, you may be able to define a smaller decode zone. At the heart of the Imager is a CMOS where light is collected by a pixel array of 1024 x 1280.
Advanced Operations Calculate FOV from Tables 1. In the following pages, find your Distance From Target in the appropriate table. 2. Measure the width of your symbol and add a comfortable buffer. This is the width of your FOV (the x dimension). 3. Look across the table to find that FOV width that’s closest to yours. 4. Go to the top of that column to find your FOV width. From the symbols presented in “Select Region of Interest” on page 9-2 enable the one that has a FOV that closest matches yours.
Calculate FOV from Tables High Resolution Near Field Focal Distance = 2.75” (70 mm) (Horizontal Angle = 21 degrees, Vertical Angle = 13 degrees) FOV 1024 x 640 320 x Distance from 480 x 512 x 640 x 320 Target 480 512 640 1024 640 in. mm in. mm in. in. in. in. in. mm 0.19 5 0.11 3 0.06 0.09 0.09 0.11 0.5 13 1 25 0.37 9 0.23 6 0.11 0.17 0.18 0.23 0.56 14 0.34 9 0.17 0.26 0.27 0.34 1.5 38 2 51 0.74 19 0.46 12 0.23 0.34 0.36 0.46 2.5 64 0.93 24 0.57 14 0.28 0.43 0.46 0.57 1.02 26 0.63 16 0.31 0.47 0.50 0.
Advanced Operations Set Decode Timeouts The MS-Q’s default settings are designed for optimal, general purpose performance with high quality symbols on typical surfaces. For poor quality symbols (“noisy” symbols, for example), more decode time may be required. You can control the amount of time the Imager spends on each decode attempt before abandoning the current attempt and beginning a new attempt.
Set Targeting Zone Tolerances Set Targeting Zone Tolerances Targeting Zone Tolerance is particularly useful in environments where closely spaced symbols of various sizes need to be precisely targeted. It allows the Imager to effectively narrow the field-of-view relative to the size of a symbol and thus determine how close your target spot can be to a symbol and still be a candidate for decoding.
Advanced Operations Continuous Operations Continuous Read Read any of the following symbols to turn scanning on/off. Both Near & Far Field Near Field Only Far Field Only Off (Default) This function is only recommended for short term use because of battery consumption. See “Sleep Mode Timeout” on page 5-6. Continuous Read, Sleep Timeout Sets the time a cabled Imager will operate in Continuous Read before entering Sleep Mode.
Continuous Operations Continuous Read, Trigger Delays Read the following symbols to set the delay time between reads. 0 Seconds (Default) 1 Second 3-5 Seconds Continuous Read, Duplicate Read Delays Read the following symbols to set the delay time for reading duplicate symbols. 0 Seconds (Default) 1 Second 3-5 Seconds Continuous Read Off Save changes whenever you reconfigure Imager settings.
Advanced Operations Change IP Mode Standard Mode (Default) Standard Mode should be applied to most applications (including DPM). Mode 1 Mode 1 is applicable to symbols that are large and have low contrast (as shown below). Basic Mode Basic Mode, while not recommended for DPM applications, can be applied to most symbologies. This function applies ONLY to the MS-Q Quadrus Imager. Save changes whenever you reconfigure Imager settings.
Optimizing the Imager Optimizing the Imager You can program all triggers or each trigger individually so that it is optimized for symbologies of certain densities and sizes. The table below describes the various configuration settings that can be obtained (A1 through D3) by reading the symbols in the subsequent tables.

See “Optimization Parameters” for more detailed explanations of each setting, and for examples of conditions for which you would use each setting.
Advanced Operations Optimization Parameters The following 12 settings (A1 through D3) allow you to optimize your Imager’s performance in your application environment. Try several settings to familiarize yourself with the differences between the 12 options. You may find that the Imager’s default setting, B3, is satisfactory for your application. Use A1 if you are reading a variety of symbol densities and sizes, and you are more concerned with decode capability than with decode speed.
Optimization Parameters Use C1 if you are reading small or medium high density symbols and you need reliable and moderately fast decodes. C1: Reads high density symbols only at high resolution in near field only; spends 375 mS attempting to decode the symbol; large region of interest that extends beyond the symbol. D1: Reads low density symbols only at high resolution in far field only; spends 375 mS attempting to decode the symbol; large region of interest that extends beyond the symbol.
Advanced Operations Optimization by ESP You can set all the same operation parameters in ESP’s Imager window. Single click the Imager button to begin. Trigger Optimization Choose which trigger or button to optimize from the dropdown menu. Each optimization button corresponds with a setting on the “Optimization Guide” (page 9-10). The “Configuration Status” display shows settings for each trigger or button.
Trigger/Button Configuration Trigger/Button Configuration In the Trigger/Button Configuration view you can set the same optimization parameters from a list, and you can also set other parameters from the same list, such as Transfer All Data, Take Picture, or Disable Button. Choose which trigger or button to optimize from the dropdown menu. These additional commands are also available in this view. Each of these programming commands corresponds with the ones in Chapter 8, “I/O Parameters”.
Advanced Operations Trigger/Button Summary The Trigger/Button Summary tab repeats the Configuration Status view of the other two tabs, but supplements the view with a diagram of the MS-Q Handheld Imager. A graphic interface orients you to the location of the Imager’s handle trigger and left and right buttons. The “Configuration Status” display shows settings for each trigger or button.
Mirrored Mirrored Symbols that are mirrored (flipped horizontally or vertically) can only be read if the Enable Mirrored symbol has been read. Once an Imager has been set to Enable Mirrored, you can only return to its default mode by reading the Disable Mirrored symbol. Enable Mirrored After reading this symbol, the Imager will ONLY read mirrored symbols.
Advanced Operations Symbol Readability Index The Readability Index provides a measurement of a specific symbol’s readability. It is specific to the MS-Q Imager and should not be confused with a verification quality measurement. The Readability Index is a blend of information obtained from the internal operations of the decoding algorithm relating to contrast, symbology construct, error detection, forward error correction (if applicable), and other symbology-specific characteristics.

UID Overview UID Overview The Department of Defense (DoD) now requires Unique Identification (UID) numbers for all products sold to the DoD by private vendors. A UID number can be thought of as a Social Security number for each part. The UID number must be encoded in an ECC 200 Data Matrix symbol that conforms to the data structure defined in the DoD’s “Guide for Uniquely Identifying Items.” UID Elements UID numbers come in two forms, called Construct 1 and Construct 2.
Unique Identifiers Non-UID Characters in a UID Message Stream The table below identifies and describes all characters in a UID message stream that are not part of the final UID number sent to the host. Table: Non-UID Characters in a UID Message Stream Compliance Indicator Identifies to the Imager that the symbol contains a UID number. Format Header Describes the type of data qualifier used. These qualifiers include AI (format 05), DI (format 06), and TEI (format DD).
UID Mode Features UID Mode Features Table: Features of UID Mode UID-Only Enabled Allows the MS-Q to read only UID message streams encoded in ECC 200 Data Matrix symbols and to send the UID output to the host computer. The Imager will not read any other symbol data when UID-Only is enabled. UID-Only Enabled with Error Messaging Allows the MS-Q to read only UID message streams encoded in ECC 200 Data Matrix symbols and to send the UID output to the host computer.
Unique Identifiers Error Messaging This feature is used to validate that UID message streams are in the correct format. When Error Messaging is enabled, the MS-Q sends a message to the host indicating an error every time a bad symbol is read. The table below shows examples of error messages.
