CHAPTER 8 SSI INTERFACE Introduction This chapter describes the system requirements of the Simple Serial Interface (SSI), which provides a communications link between Zebra decoders (e.g., scan engines, slot scanners, hand-held scanners, two-dimensional scanners, hands-free scanners, and RF base stations) and a serial host. It provides the means for the host to control the decoder or scanner.
8 - 2 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Table 8-1 lists all the SSI opcodes the scanner supports. The host transmits opcodes designated type H. The scanner (decoder) transmits type D opcodes, and either can transmit Host/Decoder (H/D) types. Table 8-1 SSI Commands Name Type Opcode Description AIM_OFF H 0xC4 Deactivate aim pattern. AIM_ON H 0xC5 Activate aim pattern. BEEP H 0xE6 Sound the beeper.
SSI Interface 8 - 3 SSI Transactions General Data Transactions ACK/NAK Handshaking If you enable ACK/NAK handshaking (the default), all packeted messages must have a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK response, unless the command description states otherwise. Zebra recommends leaving this handshaking enabled to provide feedback to the host. Raw decode data and WAKEUP do not use ACK/NAK handshaking since they are not packeted data.
8 - 4 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Decoded Data Transmission The Decode Data Packet Format parameter controls how decode data is sent to the host. Set this parameter to send the data in a DECODE_DATA packet. Clear this parameter to transmit the data as raw ASCII data. NOTE When transmitting decode data as raw ASCII data, ACK/NAK handshaking does not apply regardless of the state of the ACK/NAK handshaking parameter.
SSI Interface 8 - 5 ACK/NAK Disabled and Packeted DECODE_DATA In this example ACK/NAK does not occur even though packeted_decode is enabled because the ACK/NAK handshaking parameter is disabled. Decoder (1) Data is captured by decoder DECODE_DATA Host message sent ACK/NAK Disabled and Unpacketed ASCII Data The decoder sends captured data to the host.
8 - 6 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Communication Summary RTS/CTS Lines All communication must use RTS/CTS handshaking as described in the Simple Serial Interface Programmer’s Guide, p/n 72E-40451-xx. If bypassing hardware handshaking, the host must send the WAKEUP command before all other communication or the first byte of a message can be lost during the scanner wakeup sequence. Zebra recommends not bypassing RTS/CTS hardware handshaking.
SSI Interface 8 - 7 SSI Communication Notes • When not using hardware handshaking, space messages sufficiently apart. The host must not communicate with the scanner if the scanner is transmitting. • When using hardware handshaking, frame each message properly with handshaking signals. Do not try to send two commands within the same handshaking frame. • There is a permanent/temporary bit in the PARAM_SEND message. Removing power from the scanner discards temporary changes.
8 - 8 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Encapsulation of RSM Commands/Responses over SSI The SSI protocol allows the host to send a command that is variable in length up to 255 bytes. Although there is a provision in the protocol to multi-packet commands from the host, the scanner does not support this. The host must fragment packets using the provisions in the RSM protocol.
SSI Interface 8 - 9 Example Transaction The following example illustrates how to retrieve diagnostic information (Diagnostic Testing and Reporting (Attribute #10061) decimal) from the scanner using encapsulation of RSM commands over SSI. Before sending an RSM command, the host must send the RSM Get Packet Size command to query the packet size supported by the device.
8 - 10 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Setting Parameters This section describes how to set up the scanner with an SSI host. When using SSI, program the scanner via bar code menu or SSI hosts commands. The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 8-3 on page 8-11 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence.
SSI Interface 8 - 11 Simple Serial Interface Parameter Defaults Table 8-1 lists defaults for SSI host parameters. Change these values in one of two ways: • Scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. The new value replaces the standard default value in memory.

CHAPTER 9 RS-232 INTERFACE Introduction This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an RS-232 host. The scanner uses the RS-232 interface to connect to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port). The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 9-1 on page 9-3 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
9 - 2 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the baud rate to 19,200, scan the Baud Rate 19,200 bar code under Baud Rate on page 9-8. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.

APPENDIX K SIGNATURE CAPTURE CODE Introduction CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature. There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form. For example, on the federal tax return 1040 form there are three signature areas, one each for two joint filers, and one for a professional preparer.
K - 2 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide CapCode Pattern Structure A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces. A 7X quiet zone is required to the left and to the right of the CapCode pattern.
Signature Capture Code K - 3 Table K-2 lists selectable parameters used to generate the image of the captured signature. Table K-2 User Defined CapCode Parameters Parameter Defined Width Number of pixels Height Number of pixels Format JPEG, BMP, TIFF JPEG quality 1 (most compression) to 100 (best quality) Bits Per Pixel (not applicable to JPEG format) 1 (2 levels) 4 (16 levels) 8 (256 levels) BMP format does not use compression, JPEG and TIFF formats do.
K - 4 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Additional Capabilities Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up. A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a bar code. You can disable the signature capturing capability in a decoder.
