Chapter 2 Scanning Introduction This chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, scanning techniques, general scanning instructions and tips, and decode zone diagrams.
2-2 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Beeper Definitions The scanner emits different beeper sequences and patterns to indicate its status. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner. Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Standard Use Short low-short medium-short high beeps Power up. One short high beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).
Scanning 2-3 Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions (Continued) Beeper Sequence Indication ADF Programming Normal Data Entry High-low beeps Enter another digit. Add leading zeros to the front if necessary. Low-low beeps Enter another alphabetic character or scan the End of Message bar code. High-high beeps Enter another criterion or action, or scan the Save Rule bar code. High-low-high-low beeps Rule saved. Rule entry mode exited.
2-4 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Table 2-2 LED Status Indications (Continued) LED Indication Red fast flash (two flashes per second) Overcharge condition. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. Red slow flash (one flash per second) Battery voltage not increasing with charge. Replace the battery. Red and green flash Temperature fault. Move the cradle to a location where the temperature is 0o - 40o C; optimal charging temperature is 5o - 35o C.
Scanning 2-5 Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code.

Chapter 4 User Preferences Introduction This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features for the scanner. The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming is not necessary.
4-2 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code under Beeper Tone on page 4-3. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Laser On Time or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes.
User Preferences 4-3 User Preferences Set Default Parameter Scan this bar code to return all parameters to the default values listed in Table A-1 on page A-1. Set All Defaults Beeper Tone To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the Low Frequency, Medium Frequency, or High Frequency bar code.
4-4 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Beeper Volume To select a beeper volume, scan the Low Volume, Medium Volume, or High Volume bar code.
User Preferences 4-5 Power Mode This parameter determines whether or not the scanner enters reduced power mode after a decode attempt. When in reduced power mode, the scanner draws less current from its battery. Continuous On *Reduced Power Mode Laser On Time This parameter sets the maximum time that decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default Laser On Time is 3.0 seconds.
4-6 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Beep After Good Decode Scan one of the following bar codes to select whether the scanner beeps after a good decode. If Do Not Beep After Good Decode is selected, the beeper still operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions.
User Preferences 4-7 Trigger Mode Scan one of the following bar codes to set the scanner’s trigger mode. Level Trigger Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears for a programmable duration of time. After this time, the aiming dot turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is released.
4-8 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Aim Duration When the scanner is in Level trigger mode (default mode), Aim Duration sets the amount of time the aiming dot appears before turning into a scanning beam. This parameter has no affect when the scanner is in either of the Two Stage trigger modes. See Trigger Mode on page 4-7 for a description of each of the trigger modes. The aim duration is programmable in 0.1 second increments, from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default Aim Duration is 0.0 seconds.
User Preferences 4-9 Radio Communications Connection Maintenance Interval When a scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the scanner immediately attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the scanner does not reconnected within 30 seconds, it enters low power mode. Thereafter, when a bar code is scanned, the scanner attempts to reconnect before transmitting the data.
4 - 10 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide To set the Connection Maintenance Interval, select one of the following bar codes.
User Preferences 4 - 11 Radio Output Power The Symbol LS3478 uses a Class 1 Bluetooth radio with a transmission range of up to 100m. Optionally place the radio in a Class 2 operating mode to restrict the transmission range to 10m and reduce the effect of the radio on neighboring wireless systems. Scan a bar code to select Class 1 or Class 2 operation.
4 - 12 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Single Point/Multipoint Operation The cradle supports communication from up to four scanners simultaneously. This multipoint mode requires an external power supply to charge the scanners in the cradle. To power the cradle from the interface cable (either from the USB hub or from a power supply attached to the interface cable), place the cradle in single point mode. In single point mode, only one scanner can connect to the cradle at a time.
Chapter 5 Keyboard Wedge Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer via the cradle interface. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard.

6-4 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide RS-232 Host Parameters Various RS-232 host types are set up with their own parameter default settings. Selecting the host type sets the parameter defaults as listed in Table 6-2.
RS-232 Interface 6-5 RS-232 Host Parameters (continued) Selecting the ICL, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, Olivetti, Omron, OPOS/JPOS or Fujitsu host type enables the transmission of code ID characters listed in Table 6-3. These code ID characters are not programmable and are separate from the Transmit Code ID feature. Do not enable the Transmit Code ID feature for these terminals.
6-6 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide RS-232 Host Types To select an RS-232 host type, scan one of the following bar codes.
RS-232 Interface 6-7 RS-232 Host Types (continued) OPOS/JPOS Fujitsu RS-232 Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the scanner’s baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.
6-8 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Baud Rate (continued) Baud Rate 4800 *Baud Rate 9600 Baud Rate 19,200 Baud Rate 38,400
RS-232 Interface 6-9 Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. Odd Select Even parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
6 - 10 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Parity (continued) Select Space parity and the parity bit is always 0. Space Select None when no parity bit is required. *None Check Receive Errors Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 11 Stop Bit Select The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.
6 - 12 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence: • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 13 Hardware Handshaking (continued) RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete. RTS/CTS Option 1 RTS/CTS Option 2 When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data.
6 - 14 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Software Handshaking This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options. If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence. None When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from the host.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 15 Software Handshaking (continued) ENQ When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors. ENQ ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options.
6 - 16 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option. NOTE This parameter does not apply to the Wincor-Nixdorf RS-232 Mode A/B and the OPOS/JPOS host types. *Minimum: 2 sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 17 RTS Line State This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state. *Host: Low RTS Host: High RTS Beep on Single Point Mode Only When this parameter is enabled, the scanner issues a beep when a character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. is issued to indicate an illegal entry or other important event. NOTE This parameter is not supported in Multipoint mode.
6 - 18 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 19 Nixdorf Mode A/B and OPOS/JPOS Beep/LED Options When Nixdorf Mode A, Nixdorf Mode B, or OPOS/JPOS is selected, this parameter indicates when the scanner should beep and turn on its LED after a decode. NOTE The Beep/LED After CTS Pulse option is not valid when Nixdorf Mode A is selected.
6 - 20 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character and then an error beep sounds on the scanner.

10 - 4 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Scanner Emulation Host Scan the following bar code to enable the scanner emulation host.
Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 5 Scanner Emulation Host Parameters Beep Style The scanner emulation host supports three different beep styles. • Beep On Successful Transmit (default): The scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the scanner. This way, the scanner and the decoder beep at the same time. • Beep at Decode Time: The scanner beeps on its decode.
10 - 6 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide 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 scanner. The scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter.
Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 7 Convert Newer Code Types The scanner supports a variety of code types that attached decoder systems typically cannot decode. To allow compatibility in these environments, the scanner converts these code types to more common symbologies, as per the following table. Symbologies not listed on this chart are transmitted normally.
10 - 8 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 Scan the appropriate bar code to enable or disable converting all bar code data to Code 39. *Do Not Convert All To Code 39 (Disable) Convert All To Code 39 (Enable) Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion By default, characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set are replaced by a space. If this parameter is enabled, the data sent to the scanner emulation host is encoded in Code 39 Full ASCII.
Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 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 has not successfully received the bar code data), the scanner issues transmit error beeps. Scan the appropriate bar code to select the desired transmission timeout.
10 - 10 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters that the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds.
Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 11 Leading Margin Scan one of the following bar codes to select a leading margin duration.
10 - 12 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Check for Decode LED The attached decoder typically asserts the decode line to signal to the scanner emulation host that it has successfully decoded the transmitted bar code. Some decoders, however, do not assert the decode signal upon a decode. In this case, the scanner emits transmit error beeps to indicate that the bar code was not successfully transmitted. Scan the Ignore Decode LED bar code to disable the transmit error beeps.
Chapter 11 123Scan Introduction 123Scan is a Windows®-based utility that programs the scanner with all parameters including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host, ensuring compatibility between bar coded data and the host application without having to modify the host software. Scanners can be programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by 123Scan. Save scanner programming in a file for electronic distribution.

Chapter 14 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit the particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 14-6, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 11, 123Scan) which allows the scanner to be set up and programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
14 - 2 Symbol LS3478 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When a rule is programmed, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before starting to scan. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule. Scan Begin New Rule on page 14-6. • 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”). These options are described in Criteria on page 14-9.
Advanced Data Formatting 14 - 3 To enter these rules, follow the steps below: Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule Step Bar Code On Page Beep Indication 1 Begin New Rule 14-6 High High 2 Code 128 14-9 High High 3 Send next 5 characters 14-20 High High 4 Send 14-40 High High 5 Send next 5 characters 14-20 High High 6 Send 14-41 High High 7 Send next 2 characters 14-20 High High 8 Send 14-39 High High 9 Save Rule 14-6 High Low High Low Rule 2:
