Chapter 8 Keyboard Wedge Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the cradle between the keyboard and host computer. The digital 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.
8-2 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Connecting a Keyboard Wedge Interface NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about digital scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication. The digital scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the digital scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence sounds.
Keyboard Wedge Interface NOTE 8-3 Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 8-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same. If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not recognize the new host. Keyboard Wedge Parameter Defaults Table 8-1 lists the defaults for Keyboard Wedge host parameters.

Chapter 10 Wand Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle to interface with a wand emulation host. This mode is used whenever wand emulation communication is needed. 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 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Connecting Using Wand Emulation NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about digital scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication The digital scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the digital scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence sounds.
Wand Emulation Interface 10 - 3 Wand Emulation Parameter Defaults Table 10-1 lists the defaults for Wand Emulation host types. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in Wand Emulation Host Parameters beginning on page 10-4. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

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. This parameter accommodates older wand decoders which 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 DS6878 Product Reference Guide Polarity Scan a bar code below to select the polarity required by the decoder. Polarity determines how the cradle'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 to be in a certain format.
Wand Emulation Interface 10 - 7 Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 By default, the Wand Emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the same symbology that was decoded. This can be a problem for customers with older systems that do not recognize newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar). Enabling this parameter ignores the original symbology decoded, and outputs the data as if it were a Code 39 bar code.
10 - 8 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Convert Code 39 to Full ASCII By default, any 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 wand interface is encoded 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 Convert to Code 39 is also enabled.
Chapter 11 Scanner Emulation Interface This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle to interface with a digital scanner emulation host. With digital 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, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).
11 - 2 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Connecting Using Scanner Emulation NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless communication The digital scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect.

To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Scanner Emulation Host Parameters section beginning on page 11-4. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
11 - 4 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Scanner Emulation Host Parameters Beep Style The Scanner Emulation host supports three beep styles. • Beep On Successful Transmit: The digital scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the digital scanner, so the digital scanner and the attached decoder beep at the same time. • Beep At Decode Time: The digital scanner beeps upon decode.
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 entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. For example, to enable D 2 of 5, scan the D 2 of 5 Enable parameter bar code. The digital scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter.
11 - 6 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Convert Newer Code Types The digital scanner supports a variety of code types that are not decodable by attached decoder systems. To allow compatibility in these environments, the digital scanner converts these code types to more commonly decodable symbologies, as per the following chart. Symbologies not listed on this chart are transmitted normally.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 7 Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 Scan the bar code below to enable or disable the conversion of all bar code data to Code 39. *Do Not Convert Bar Codes To Code 39 Convert All To Code 39 Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion By default, any 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.
11 - 8 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide 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 digital scanner issues transmit error beeps. Scan a bar code below to select the desired transmission timeout.
Scanner Emulation Interface 11 - 9 Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the decoder does not recognize. When Ignore Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Convert Error on Unknown Characters is selected, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the decoder, and a convert error beep sounds.
11 - 10 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Leading Margin (continued) 5 ms Leading Margin 10 ms Leading Margin Check For Decode LED The attached decoder normally 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. In this case, the digital scanner emits transmit error beeps to indicate that the bar code was not successfully transmitted.

Chapter 14 Symbologies Introduction This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner powers down. NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen.
14 - 2 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. Symbology Parameter Defaults Table 14-1 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change the default values, scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Default Parameters on page 5-4.

Chapter 15 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 particular requirements. To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 15-8, which allows programming the digital scanner with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters.
15 - 2 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes 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 the Begin New Rule bar code 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.

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. The “sale” rule may look like this: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2.
Advanced Data Formatting 15 - 5 Note that using the standard data editing functions also creates ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the digital scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 5-37. These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order you create them is also important. Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data.

Chapter 16 Driver’s License Set Up (DS6878-DL) Introduction The DS6878-DL digital scanner is capable of parsing out information from standard US driver's licenses and certain other American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) compliant ID cards. Parsing can be achieved in one of two ways: • Internally embedded algorithms - scanning bar codes activates algorithms internally embedded in the digital scanner to produce formatted data.
16 - 2 Symbol DS6878 Product Reference Guide Driver’s License Parsing There are three options available for programming the digital scanner: • No driver's license parsing (default) - disables the feature. • Embedded driver's license parsing - this does not require Motorola software (.DLL). Scan the bar codes on the following pages in the order indicating the sequence of data fields that the digital scanner outputs.
Driver’s License Set Up (DS6878-DL) 16 - 3 Parsing Driver’s License Data Fields (Embedded Driver's License Parsing) To begin programming a parsing rule: 1. Scan Begin New Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 16-4. 2. Scan any of the field bar codes on the following pages, or Send Keystroke (Control Characters and Keyboard Characters) on page 16-24 to complete the parsing rule. 3. After entering the entire rule, scan Save Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 16-4 to save the rule.

Driver’s License Set Up (DS6878-DL) 16 - 5 Driver’s License Parse Field Bar Codes (continued) The parse fields currently supported begin below. Not all IDs present data in the same format. For example, some IDs may have separate fields for first name, last name, and middle initial, and others may have a single field with the entire name. In addition, some IDs may expire on the subject's birth date and the actual expiration date field may only indicate the year.
