CHAPTER 3 IMAGING Overview This chapter provides information on aiming, illumination, data capture, beeper and decode LED feedback, supported symbologies, and operating modes. Imaging System Aiming Pattern A 655 nm laser and a pattern forming element generate a laser aiming pattern which represents the imager's field of view throughout its entire depth of field. The pattern's center dot indicates the center of the field of view.
3-2 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Aiming Control The DS457 can capture images with both the aiming subsystem turned on during exposure (the image of the aiming pattern is visible in the digital image) or off. If the aiming system is turned off during exposure, brightness of the aiming pattern decreases as exposure increases.
Imaging 3-3 Capturing Data When scanning, the imager projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the bar code within its field of view. See Decode Zones on page 4-6 for the proper distance to achieve between the imager and a bar code. The imager turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code. In Presentation Mode (default), when the DS457 detects an object in its field of view, it automatically triggers and displays the aiming pattern.
3-4 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Beeper and Decode LED Indications Table 3-1 provides beeper and LED indications related to certain events. The LED illuminates red to indicate that the imager has power. SSI events are also listed.

CHAPTER 7 IMAGER PREFERENCES Introduction This chapter describes imager preference features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. The imager ships with the settings shown in the Imager Preferences Default Table on page 7-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
7-2 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to disable the decode aiming pattern, scan the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code listed under Decode Aiming Pattern on page 7-6. For systems that use a beeper and LED, a fast warble beep sounds and the LED lights, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Crop to Pixel Address, require scanning several bar codes.

7-4 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Imager Preferences The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot. Operational Modes The imager has three modes of operation: • Decode Mode • Snapshot Mode • Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode • Video Mode. Decode Mode By default, upon a trigger event, the imager attempts to locate and decode bar codes within its field of view.
Imager Preferences 7-5 Video Mode In this mode the imager behaves as a video camera as long as the trigger is active. Upon trigger release, the imager returns to Decode Mode. Scan the Video Mode bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode. NOTE The DS457 does not support Video Mode when Trigger Mode on page 6-11 is set to Presentation Mode (the default).
7-6 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Decoding Illumination Parameter # 298 (SSI # F0h 2Ah) Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the imager to turn on illumination every image capture to aid decoding. Select Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the imager from using decoding illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.
Imager Preferences 7-7 Aim Brightness Parameter # 668 (SSI # F1h 9Ch) This feature sets the brightness of the aim pattern. The default is 0, which indicates that the aim pattern is always on in between camera exposures. For values above 0, each increment of the brightness value increments the aim duration 0.5 ms. To program Aim Brightness, scan this bar code followed by three numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the value representing brightness.
7-8 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Low Light Enhancement Parameter # 612 (SSI # F1h 64h) In Presentation Mode, selecting Enable Low Light Enhancement causes illumination to remain on at low power in low lighting conditions. When the imager detects an object in its field of view, it turns on illumination full power.
Imager Preferences 7-9 Presentation Mode Field of View Parameter # 609 (SSI # F1h 61h) In Presentation Mode, by default the imager searches for a bar code in a smaller region around the aiming pattern’s center cross to speed search time. To use a full field of view, scan Presentation Mode Full Field of View. This allows the imager to search the larger area of the aiming pattern.
7 - 10 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Frame Rate Parameter # 674 (SSI # F1h A2h) Select an option to control the rate at which frames are captured and transmitted. When capturing images, using lower frame rates can improve image brightness. NOTE The aiming pattern appears to blink when the frame rate is 30 frames per second (fps) or lower.
Imager Preferences 7 - 11 Frame Rate (continued) 45 fps (7) 40 fps (8) 30 fps (2) 20 fps (9) 15 fps (3) 10 fps (4)
7 - 12 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image Capture Autoexposure Parameter # 360 (SSI # F0h 68h) Select Enable Image Capture Autoexposure to allow the imager to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for snapshot mode. Select Disable Image Capture Autoexposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time (see Fixed Gain and Exposure Time). Zebra recommends this option only for advanced users with difficult image capture situations.
Imager Preferences 7 - 13 Fixed Gain Parameter # 568 (SSI # F1h 38h) This parameter only applies when Decoding or Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data before it is converted into 8-bit grayscale values. Increasing the fixed gain increases brightness and contrast, but also increases noise (undesired electrical fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less attractive and/or harder to decode. NOTE Fixed Gain does not apply in Presentation Mode.
7 - 14 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Snapshot Mode Timeout Parameter # 323 (SSI # F0h 43h) This parameter sets the amount of time the imager remains in Snapshot Mode. The imager exits Snapshot Mode upon a trigger event, or when the Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the bar code below followed by a bar code from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. The default value is 0 which represents 30 seconds; values increment by 30. For example, 1 = 60 seconds, 2 = 90 seconds, etc.
Imager Preferences 7 - 15 Presentation Snapshot by Motion Parameter # 647 (SSI # F1h 87h) When the imager detects an object in its field of view, and the object stops moving, it attempts to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. This applies to snapshot mode only. Select a bar code below to enable or disable this feature.
7 - 16 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image Cropping Parameter # 301 (SSI # F0h 2Dh) This parameter crops a captured image. Select Disable Image Cropping to present the full 742 x 480 pixels. Select Enable to crop the image to the pixel addresses set in Crop to Pixel Addresses on page 7-17. NOTE The imager has a cropping resolution of 4 pixels. Setting the cropping area to less than 3 pixels transfers the entire image.
Imager Preferences 7 - 17 Crop to Pixel Addresses Parameter # 315 (SSI # F4h F0h 3Bh (Top)) Parameter # 316 (SSI # F4h F0h 3Ch (Left)) Parameter # 317 (SSI # F4h F0h 3Dh (Bottom)) Parameter # 318 (SSI # F4h F0h 3Eh (Right)) If Enable Image Cropping is selected, set the pixel addresses from (0,0) to (751,479) to crop to. Columns are numbered from 0 to 751, rows from 0 to 479.
7 - 18 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image Resolution Parameter # 302 (SSI # F0h 2Eh) This option alters image resolution before compression. Rows and columns are removed from the image, resulting in a smaller image containing the original content with reduced resolution.
Imager Preferences 7 - 19 Image Brightness (Target White) Parameter # 390 (SSI # F0h 86h) This parameter sets the Target White value used in Snapshot and Video modes when using autoexposure. White and black are defined as 255 decimal and 0, respectively. Setting the value to the default of 180 results in a white level of ~180 for the image. To set the Image Brightness parameter, scan Image Brightness below followed by three numeric bar codes representing the value. Include leading zeros.
7 - 20 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image File Format Selector Parameter # 304 (SSI # F0h 30h) Select an image format appropriate for the system (BMP, TIFF, or JPEG). The imager stores captured images in the selected format. BMP File Format (3) *JPEG File Format (1) TIFF File Format (4) JPEG Image Options Parameter # 299 (SSI # F0h 2Bh) JPEG images can be optimized for either size or for quality.
Imager Preferences 7 - 21 JPEG Quality and Size Value JPEG Quality = Parameter # 305 (SSI # F0h 31h) JPEG Size = Parameter # 561 (SSI # F1h 31h) If you select JPEG Quality Selector, scan the JPEG Quality Value bar code followed by 3 bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes corresponding to a value from 5 to 100, where 100 represents the highest quality image.
7 - 22 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image File Meta Data Parameter # 693 (SSI # F1h B5h) Enable this option to tag images transmitted in JPEG format with the following EXIF 2.2 standard data fields: • Time (since power up) • Sensor used • Device name • Manufacturer • Frame rate • Host type • Image number (since power up) • Image Enhancement parameter setting • Image Edge Sharpening parameter setting • Image Contract Enhancement parameter setting.
Imager Preferences 7 - 23 Image Enhancement Parameter # 564 (SSI # F1h 34h) This feature uses a combination of edge sharpening and contrast enhancement to produce an image that is visually pleasing. If you select User, also set the Image Edge Sharpening on page 7-24 and Image Contrast Enhancement on page 7-25 to enhance the image. The levels of image enhancement are: • Off (0) - Default • Low (1) • Med (2) • High (3) • User (4).
7 - 24 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image Edge Sharpening Parameter # 664 (SSI # F1h 98h) This feature uses an edge sharpening technique, and only applies if you set the Image Enhancement parameter to User. To set this parameter, scan the Image Edge Sharpening bar code, followed by three numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that represent the image edge sharpening value. Alternatively, to set a recommended value, scan one of the value bar codes below.
Imager Preferences 7 - 25 Image Contrast Enhancement Parameter # 666 (SSI # F1h 9Ah) Enable this feature to enhance the contrast of an image. This parameter only applies if you set the Image Enhancement parameter to User.
7 - 26 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Image Rotation Parameter # 665 (SSI # F1h 99h) This parameter controls the rotation of the image by 0, 90,180, or 270 degrees.
Imager Preferences 7 - 27 Bits per Pixel Parameter # 303 (SSI # F0h 2Fh) Select the number of significant bits per pixel (BPP) to use when capturing an image. Select 1 BPP for a black and white image, 4 BPP to assign 1 of 16 levels of grey to each pixel, or 8 BPP to assign 1 of 256 levels of grey to each pixel. The imager ignores these settings for JPEG files, which always use 8 BPP.
7 - 28 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Signature Capture Parameter # 93 (SSI # 5Dh) A signature capture bar code is a special-purpose symbology which delineate a signature capture area in a document with a machine-readable format. The recognition pattern is variable so it can optionally provide an index to various signatures. The region inside the bar code pattern is considered the signature capture area.
Imager Preferences 7 - 29 Signature Capture File Format Selector Parameter # 313 (SSI # F0h 39h) Select a signature file format appropriate for the system (BMP, TIFF, or JPEG). The imager stores captured signatures in the selected format.
7 - 30 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Signature Capture Bits per Pixel Parameter # 314 (SSI # F0h 3Ah) Select the number of significant bits per pixel (BPP) to use when capturing a signature. Select 1 BPP for a black and white image, 4 BPP to assign 1 of 16 levels of grey to each pixel, or 8 BPP to assign 1 of 256 levels of grey to each pixel. The imager ignores these settings for JPEG files, which always use 8 BPP.
Imager Preferences 7 - 31 Signature Capture Height Parameter # 367 (SSI # F4h F0h 6Fh) To set the height of the signature capture box, scan the Signature Capture Height bar code, followed by 3 bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes corresponding to a value in the range of 010 to 480 decimal.
7 - 32 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Video Mode Format Selector Parameter # 916 (SSI # F2h 94h) When the imager is in Video Mode, select whether to send data in BMP or JPEG format. BMP File Format (3) *JPEG File Format (1) Video View Finder Parameter # 324 (SSI # F0h 44h) Select Enable Video View Finder to project the video view finder while in Image Mode, or Disable Video View Finder to turn the video view finder off.
Imager Preferences 7 - 33 Target Video Frame Size Parameter # 328 (SSI # F0h 48h) Select the number of 100-byte blocks to transmit per second. Selecting a smaller value transmits more frames per second but reduces video quality; selecting a larger value increases video quality but slows transmission. To set the Target Video Frame Size, scan the bar code below followed by two bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes corresponding to the 100-byte value from 800 to 20,000 bytes.
7 - 34 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Video Resolution Parameter # 667 (SSI # F1h 9Bh) This parameter alters the video resolution before transmission. Rows and columns are removed from the image, resulting in a smaller video image containing the original content with reduced resolution.
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, imagers, 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 imager. Communications All communication between the imager and host occurs over the hardware interface lines using the SSI protocol.
8-2 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Table 8-1 lists all the SSI opcodes the imager supports. It identifies the SSI partner allowed to send a message of each type. The host transmits opcodes designated type H. The imager transmits type D opcodes, and either partner 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, all packeted messages must have a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK response, unless the command description states otherwise. This parameter is enabled by default. 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 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Transfer of Decode Data 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 Unpacketed ASCII Data Data captured by the imager is sent to the host. Decoder Data is captured by decoder (1) ASCII data sent Host Communication Summary RTS/CTS Lines All communication must use RTS/CTS handshaking as described in the Simple Serial Interface Programmer’s Guide, p/n 72-40451-xx.
8-6 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Baud Rate, Stop Bits, Parity, Response Time-out, ACK/NAK Handshake If you use PARAM_SEND to change these serial parameters, the ACK response to the PARAM_SEND uses the previous values for these parameters. The new values then take effect for the next transaction.
SSI Interface 8-7 Using Time Delay to Low Power Mode with SSI Time Delay to Low Power Mode on page 6-17 provides bar codes to select a general time delay. To program a more specific delay value, use an SSI command according to Table 8-2.
8-8 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Simple Serial Interface Default Parameters This section describes how to set up the imager with an SSI host. When using SSI, program the imager via bar code menu or hosts commands. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values. *Baud Rate 9600 * Indicates default Feature/Option (6) Option value for programming NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen.

8 - 10 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Baud Rate Parameter # 156 (SSI # 9Ch) Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the imager'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.
SSI Interface 8 - 11 Baud Rate (continued) Baud Rate 460,800 (14) Baud Rate 921,600 (15) Parity Parameter # 258 (SSI # 9Eh) 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 and the parity bit has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits is contained in the coded character.
8 - 12 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Check Parity Parameter # 151 (SSI # 97h) Select whether or not to check the parity of received characters. Use the Parity parameter to select the type of parity. *Do Not Check Parity (0) Check Parity (1) Software Handshaking Parameter # 159 (SSI # 9Fh) This parameter offers control of data transmission in addition to the control hardware handshaking offers. Hardware handshaking is always enabled; you cannot disable it.
SSI Interface 8 - 13 Host RTS Line State Parameter # 154 (SSI # 9Ah) This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, you can use the imager in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication software on a host PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 8-13).
8 - 14 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Host Serial Response Time-out Parameter # 155 (SSI # 9Bh) This parameter specifies how long the imager waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the imager wants to send, and the host has already been granted permission to send, the imager waits for the designated time-out before declaring an error. To set the delay period (options are 2, 5, 7.5, or 9,9 seconds), scan one of the following bar codes. NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.
SSI Interface 8 - 15 Host Character Time-out Parameter # 239 (SSI # EFh) This parameter determines the maximum time the imager waits between characters transmitted by the host before discarding the received data and declaring an error. To set the delay period (options are 200, 500, 750, or 990 ms), scan one of the following bar codes. NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.
8 - 16 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Multipacket Option Parameter # 334 (SSI # F0h, 4Eh) This parameter controls ACK/NAK handshaking for multi-packet transmissions. • Multi-Packet Option 1: The host sends an ACK / NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet transmission. • Multi-Packet Option 2: The imager sends data packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK handshaking to pace the transmission. The host, if overrun, can use hardware handshaking to temporarily delay imager transmissions.
SSI Interface 8 - 17 Interpacket Delay Parameter # 335 (SSI # F0h, 4Fh) This parameter specifies the interpacket delay if you selected Multipacket Option 3. To set the delay period (options are 0, 25, 50, 75, or 99 ms), scan one of the following bar codes. NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.
8 - 18 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Event Reporting The host can request the imager to provide certain information (events) relative to the imager’s behavior. Enable or disable the events listed in Table 8-4 and on the following pages by scanning the appropriate bar codes.
SSI Interface 8 - 19 Boot Up Event Parameter # 258 (SSI # F0h, 02h) When enabled, the imager generates a message to the host whenever power is applied. When disabled, no notification is sent. Enable Boot Up Event (1) *Disable Boot Up Event (0) Parameter Event Parameter # 259 (SSI # F0h, 03h) When enabled, the imager generates a message to the host when one of the events specified in Table 8-4 on page 8-18 occurs. When disabled, no notification is sent.

CHAPTER 9 SERIAL INTERFACE Introduction This chapter describes how to set up the imager with a serial host. The serial interface connects the imager to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available serial port (e.g., com port). If the host is not listed in Table 9-2, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication parameters to match the host. NOTE The imager uses TTL signal levels, which interface with most system architectures.
9-2 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Serial Parameter Defaults Table 9-1 lists the defaults for serial host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Serial Host Parameters section beginning on page 9-3. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
Serial Interface 9-3 Serial Host Parameters Various serial hosts use their own parameter default settings. Selecting standard, ICL, Fujitsu, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, OPOS/JPOS, Olivetti, Omron, or Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE-LP/LG bar code readers) sets the defaults listed in Table 9-2.

CHAPTER 12 SYMBOLOGIES Introduction This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The imager is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 12-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
12 - 2 DS457 Fixed Mount Imager Integration Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 12-17. The imager issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes.
