For example, to disable the decode aiming pattern, scan the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code listed under Decode Aiming Pattern on page 5-4. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.
Decoding Preferences 5-3 Decoding Preferences The parameters in this chapter control bar code decoding characteristics. Focus Mode Select the Focus Mode to control the working range of the digital scanner: • Select Far Focus to optimize the digital scanner to read at its far position. Use this mode when scanning large bar codes in order to fit these bar codes in the digital scanner’s field of view. • Select Near Focus to optimize the digital scanner to read at its near position.
5-4 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Decoding Illumination Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the digital scanner to flash illumination to aid decoding. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the bar code increases. Select Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using decoding illumination, typical for outdoor scanning. Disabling this option extends battery life.
Decoding Preferences 5-5 DPM Scanning Unlike bar codes that are typically printed on labels, a direct part mark (DPM) is a symbol that is marked directly on an item’s surface for permanent identification. These symbols are marked using methods such as laser etching and dot peening (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-6 for an example of a dot peen symbol). The DS3478-DP (DPM) digital reader scans these types of symbols.

Chapter 10 Wand Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the digital scanner to interface with a wand emulation host. Use this mode whenever you need wand emulation communication. The digital scanner cradle connects either to an external wand decoder or to a decoder integrated in a portable terminal or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. In this mode the digital scanner emulates the signal of a digital wand to make it “readable” by a wand decoder.
10 - 2 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Connecting a Wand Emulation Interface To perform wand emulation, connect the digital scanner cradle to a portable data terminal, or a controller that collects the wand data and interprets it for the host. Wand Port Interface Cable Mobile Computer Figure 10-1 Wand Emulation Connection NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration.
Wand Emulation Interface 10 - 3 Wand Emulation Default Parameters Table 10-1 lists the defaults for wand emulation host types. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in this chapter. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preference, host, symbology, and miscellaneous default parameters.
10 - 4 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Wand Emulation Host Parameters Wand Emulation Host Types Select the wand emulation host by scanning one of the bar codes below.
Wand Emulation Interface 10 - 5 Leading Margin (Quiet Zone) Scan a bar code below to select a leading margin duration. A leading margin is the time that precedes the first bar of the scan, in milliseconds. The minimum allowed value is 80 msec and the maximum is 250 msec. Use this parameter to accommodate older wand decoders that cannot handle short leading margins. NOTE 250 msec is the maximum value that this parameter can attain, however, 200 msec is sufficient.
10 - 6 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Polarity Polarity determines how the digital scanner’s wand emulation interface creates the Digitized Bar code Pattern (DBP). DBP is a digital signal that represents the scanned bar code. Different decoders expect the DBP in a certain format. The DBP either uses “highs” to represent bars and “lows” to represent spaces (margins), or “highs” to represent spaces (margins) and “lows” to represent bars.
Wand Emulation Interface 10 - 7 Convert All to Code 39 By default, the wand emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the decoded symbology. This can present a problem for older systems that do not recognize some newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar). Enable this parameter to ignore the decoded symbology, and transmit the data as a Code 39 bar code. Lowercase characters in the original data stream transmit as uppercase characters. This also allows ADF formatting.
10 - 8 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Convert Code 39 to Full ASCII By default, this parameter replaces any characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology with a space. Enable this parameter to encode the data sent to the wand interface in Code 39 Full ASCII. This setting requires that the host be able to interpret Code 39 Full ASCII data. This setting applies only if you enabled Convert All to Code 39 for wand hosts.
Chapter 11 Scanner Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the digital scanner to interface with a scanner emulation host. With scanner emulation, the cradle connects either to an external decoder or to a decoder integrated in a portable terminal or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
11 - 2 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Connecting Using Scanner Emulation To perform scanner emulation, connect the digital scanner cradle to a mobile computer, or a controller that collects the data and interprets it for the host. Interface Cable Host Port Connector Figure 11-1 Scanner Emulation Connection NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors may be different from those illustrated in Figure 11-1, but the steps to connect the digital scanner cradle are the same.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 3 Scanner Emulation Default Parameters Table 11-1 lists the defaults for the scanner emulation host. To change an option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in this chapter. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preference, host, symbology, and miscellaneous default parameters.
11 - 4 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Scanner Emulation Host Parameters Scanner Emulation Host Scan the following bar code to enable the scanner emulation host. Scanner Emulation Host Beep Style The scanner emulation host supports three different beep styles. • Beep On Successful Transmit (default): The digital scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the digital scanner. This way, the digital scanner and the decoder beep at the same time.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 5 Parameter Pass-Through The scanner emulation host can process parameter bar code messages and send them to the attached decoder. In this way, customers using Symbol-compliant decoders can control the behavior of the system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. NOTE For example, to enable Discrete 2 of 5, scan the Enable Discrete 2 of 5 parameter bar code with the digital scanner. The digital scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter.
11 - 6 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Convert Newer Code Types The digital scanner supports a variety of code types that attached decoder systems typically cannot decode. To allow compatibility in these environments, the digital scanner converts these code types to more common symbologies, as per the following table. Symbologies not listed on this chart transmit normally.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 7 Module Width The standard module width is 20 µs. For an extremely slow decoder system, use this parameter to extend this module width to 50 µs. *20 µs Module Width 50 µs Module Width Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 Scan the appropriate bar code to enable or disable converting all bar code data to Code 39.
11 - 8 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion By default, this parameter replaces characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set with a space. Enable this parameter to encode the data sent to the scanner emulation host in Code 39 Full ASCII. This setting requires that the host be able to interpret Code 39 Full ASCII data. This setting applies only if you enabled Convert All to Code 39.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 9 Transmission Timeout The scanner emulation host transmits bar code data to the attached decoder and waits for the decoder to assert the decode signal, indicating successful transmission. If, after a specified amount of time, the decode signal is not asserted (indicating that the attached decoder did not receive the bar code data), the digital scanner issues transmit error beeps. Scan the appropriate bar code to select the desired transmission timeout.
11 - 10 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters that the host does not recognize. Select Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters to send all bar code data except for unknown characters. The digital scanner issues no error beeps. Select Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters to prevent sending bar codes containing at least one unknown character to the host. The digital scanner issues an error beep.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 11 Leading Margin Scan one of the following bar codes to select a leading margin duration.
11 - 12 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Check for Decode LED The attached decoder typically asserts the decode line to signal to the scanner emulation host that it successfully decoded the transmitted bar code. Some decoders, however, do not assert the decode signal upon a decode. In this case, the digital scanner emits transmit error beeps to indicate that the bar code did not successfully transmit. Scan the Ignore Decode LED bar code to disable the transmit error beeps.
Chapter 12 123Scan Introduction 123Scan is a Windows®-based utility that programs the digital scanner with all parameters including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it transmits to the host, ensuring compatibility between bar code data and the host application without having to modify the host software. You can program digital scanners via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by 123Scan.

Symbologies 13 - 73 Intercharacter Gap Size The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the digital scanner from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

The digital scanner can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 MacroPDF symbols. CAUTION When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data.
Chapter 14 Miscellaneous Scanner Options Introduction This chapter includes bar codes to customize how data transmits to the host device. Also see each host chapter for the appropriate host connections and host device features for the digital scanner. See Chapter 13, Symbologies and Chapter 15, Advanced Data Formatting for more options for customizing how data transmits to the host. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.

Chapter 15 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device to suit particular requirements. To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes which begin on page 15-8, or use the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 12, 123Scan) which allows programming the digital scanner with ADF rules. Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters.
15 - 2 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Creating ADF Rules When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule. Scan Begin New Rule on page 15-8. • Specify Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits “129”). See Criteria on page 15-11 for options.

To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.
Advanced Data Formatting 15 - 5 Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes) When programming rules, be sure to program the most general rule first, as rules are stored at the “top” of a rules list in a buffer as they are entered. For example, if you create three rules, the list is configured as follows: Third Rule Second Rule First Rule After scanning data, the rules hierarchy checks the rules list from top to bottom to determine if the criteria matches (and therefore, whether to apply the actions).

American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Glossary - 2 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning. Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received. Boot or Boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software. BOOTP.
Glossary - 3 Code Length. Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those characters. Cold Boot. A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and erases all user stored records and entries. COM Port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2. Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code.
Glossary - 4 Symbol DS3478 Product Reference Guide F Flash Disk. An additional megabyte of non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files. Flash Memory.
