PowerScan® Scanner  
Introduction  
The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow  
you to customize and configure features and settings for your PSC®  
PowerScanscanner. To ensure full compatibility and proper function,  
use only the programming bar codes in this manual and other product-  
specific publications to program scanner features.  
This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users of  
all levels to find the information needed to understand and configure  
scanner features. The following descriptions will help you to determine  
where to go from here.

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System  
Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface  
board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system.  
Contact your PSC dealer for information if you have questions about  
your scanner’s hardware compatibility.  
You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator  
if you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the  
factory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings  
for specific interface types, however, your scanner may have been cus-  
tom configured with settings that are unique to your company or  
application.  
Once you know the scanner’s current settings, you can determine what  
changes will be required to allow communication with your host sys-  
tem and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your  
installation. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading  
this section, then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instruc-  
tions to program the scanner.  
When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the  
scanner is ready to be placed into operation.  
Changing Interfaces  
When moving the scanner to a host terminal of a different interface  
type than previously connected, it may be necessary to alter the scan-  
ner’s hardware and/or software to allow connection and communica-  
tion between the two devices.  
Hardware  
Interface An interface board swap is usually unnecessary, since multiple host  
Board  
interface protocols are supported in combination on most interface  
boards. For example, RS-232, Standard Keyboard Wedge, and Wand  
Emulation are all available on a single interface board. Activation of  
alternate available interfaces on these boards requires only that you  
connect the scanner to the new host using the appropriate interface  
cable. The scanner will automatically change to the interface functions  
specific to that cable.

To determine if your desired new interface is available on your scanner,  
check the following section titled Software on page 4. The section lists  
host interface types supported by each interface board available at the  
time of this writing. If you are still unsure of your scanner’s available  
interface connectivity, consult your PSC dealer.  
The scanner will need to be sent to a Level I Service repair depot if the  
interface board must be swapped; however, if necessary, you can  
change your scanner’s interface cable by following these instructions.  
(Refer to Figure 1.):  
1. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the handle. This screw is  
captive and does not come all the way out.  
DO NOT try to pull the end cap off, as this may  
damage the scanner.  
CAUTION  
2. Swing the forked cable retainer clear of the square hole in the  
end cap and rotate away from the cable.  
3. Holding the scanner handle and end cap together in one hand,  
pull the connector out of the handle end cap to free the inter-  
face cable.  
4. Connect the new interface cable at the scanner and rotate the  
forked cable retainer to secure it. Tighten the screw to between  
6 and 10 in-lbs.

cedures in this section, turn to the appropriate interface programming  
section (RS-232, Wand Emulation, etc.) of this manual to set other inter-  
face features, completing the scanner’s conversion to a new interface  
type.  
Upon changing a scanner’s interface setting, scan a bar code to verify  
that the scanner communicates correctly with the new host system.  
Some sample bar codes are provided in Appendix B: Sample Bar Codes  
on page 145. If any changes to the scanner’s factory settings are  
needed, consult Customizing Your Scanner’s Operation below.  
Customizing Your Scanner’s Operation  
Most scanner programming falls within three general categories:  
Interface Selection and Settings - are the mandatory settings  
necessary to allow communication with your host terminal.  
Examples of these settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.  
Ensure that your planned modifications are com-  
patible with the current interface. For example,  
baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232  
interface. The scanner will sound an error tone  
when scanning programming labels for features  
NOTE  
invalid to the current interface group.  
Symbology Selection and Settings - gives the scanner the  
capability to autodiscriminate as few as one, and as many as all  
available symbologies. For optimal scanner performance  
enable only those symbologies required. Additionally the scan-  
ner may be programmed with the standard options available  
for the various symbologies, such as check digit, minimum  
label length, fixed and variable length bar codes, QuadraLogic  
Decoding, etc.  
General Feature Settings - are features common to all interface  
types. Examples include beeper adjustments such as volume  
and length, read verification settings, etc.  
If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional  
information, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales  
representative.

Programming Overview  
The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to  
accommodate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can  
be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways:  
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of  
host commands are available. Refer to Appendix A: Additional  
Information on page 143 for more details.  
2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner  
is to use the Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programmining  
Kit. Ask your dealer for more information about this product.  
3. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the  
scanner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the  
bar code labels and instructions necessary to configure the  
scanner’s features/options.  
When you program the scanner using any of  
the methods above, the scanner will store the  
changes until reprogrammed or returned to  
factory defaults.  
NOTE  
What Is Programming Mode?  
order to accept programming commands. When programming using  
the bar code labels in this manual, the scanner is typically placed in  
Programming Mode by scanning the “SET” label at the top of most  
programming feature pages.  
While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the spe-  
cial programming bar codes contained in this programming guide. See  
the section, LED and Beeper Indicators on page 11 for information about  
scanner indications while in the Programming Mode.

Programming Session  
A typical programming session is conducted as follows:  
1. Scan the SET bar code at the beginning of each set of program-  
ming bar codes to place the scanner in Programming Mode.  
The scanner will emit three beeps, indicating it has read the bar  
code and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the  
scanner remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning  
functions are disabled.  
2. Scan the programming label(s) that is (are) specially encoded  
to make the desired changes. With few exceptions1, the scanner  
will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming  
bar code.  
Not all features are available for all interfaces  
and the scanner will sound an error tone when  
scanning programming bar codes for features  
invalid to the current interface. Only features  
supported by the currently active interface will  
NOTE  
NOTE  
be implemented.  
If a label is scanned that changes the scan-  
ner’s interface, all previous configuration  
items scanned in the programming session  
are lost.  
Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan sin-  
gle digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length,  
scanning the END bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code)  
before completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the  
scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the  
current feature you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous bar  
codes scanned during the session will take effect.  
1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scan-  
ning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single ‘good read’ beep is sounded when scanning these  
single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a tri-  
ple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.  
Programming Guide

It is recommended that programming ses-  
sions be limited to one feature at a time.  
Should you make a mistake in the program-  
ming sequence, it can be difficult to discover  
where an error has been made if several fea-  
tures are programmed at once. Additionally, it  
can be confusing to determine which features  
may or may not have been successfully set  
following such a session.  
NOTE  
3. Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to save any new  
settings and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound  
a beep and reset upon exiting Programming Mode, and the  
green LED will return to its usual state (on steady or off).  
The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the END  
bar code is scanned or power is disconnected. Disconnecting  
power during Programming Mode, before scanning the END  
label, will cause all new settings to be ignored. On power-up,  
the scanner will return to previous settings.  
4. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you  
know if the original factory settings have been changed.

Programming To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes con-  
tained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending  
upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 1). There are  
three possible programming sequences:  
Sequence  
A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format)  
demonstrates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to  
do the following:  
1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SET bar code).  
2. Scan the Item Tag1 that will enable the new feature.  
3. End the programming session and reset the scanner (END  
bar code).  
B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature  
requiring the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scan-  
ner is placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag1 is  
scanned. Then, a value must be entered before ending the pro-  
gramming session. In the example, three digits must be  
scanned from the number pad in Appendix C: Keypad. This type  
of format, requiring a total of as many as six programming bar  
codes, is necessary to allow flexible programming with larger  
item value numeric ranges.  
C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires  
scanning of a single, extended length bar code. This special  
programming bar code contains all the data necessary to enter  
Programming Mode, set the Item Tag1 and Item Value, and exit  
Programming Mode (all in one step).  
1. An “Item Tag” is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming  
bar code, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.

If You Make a Mistake...  
If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the  
scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the  
Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configu-  
ration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any  
changes made during previous programming sessions.  
Return to Factory Settings  
Scan this label to return the scanner to the default settings configured  
at the factory. This label is typically used to return the scanner to a  
“known” operating state when the present programming status is not  
known, faulty, or suspect.  
Use this label with caution, since it will reset  
ALL features that may have been programmed  
for that interface type since the scanner’s  
installation.  
CAUTION

Where To Go From Here  
Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps:  
If you are changing some interface types (for  
example; if you are moving the scanner from a  
Universal Keyboard Wedge to an RS-232 host)  
you must first change the hardware. Replace  
the scanner’s interface board (if required) and  
connect the scanner using the new interface  
cable BEFORE performing any programming  
changes.  
NOTE  
instructions in the section titled, Changing Interfaces on page 2  
before proceeding.  
are currently programming. These interface specific program-  
ming bar codes immediately follow each interface selection  
label.  
3. Turn to Symbologies Supported on page 62 if you are going to  
change any bar code symbologies or modify any symbology-  
related features.  
4. Turn to General Features on page 132 if you wish to change or  
modify any of the scanner’s other features.  
Once the necessary changes have been made, and you have scanned  
the END bar code, you are ready to scan.

Label Transmit Configuration (RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge Interfaces only)  
If you need to send information in addition to bar code label data, the  
scanner can be configured to transmit Global Prefixes (also known as  
preambles), Global Suffixes (also known as postambles), and symbol-  
ogy specific identifier characters (termed Label I.D.).  
Prefix, Suffix, and Label I.D.  
The table below shows examples of how Prefix, Suffix, and Label I.D.  
characters can be applied.  
Column three contains the label data, while columns one, two, four  
and five contain the additional characters added by way of the Prefix,  
Label I.D. as Prefix, Label I.D. as Suffix, and Global Suffix respectively.  
The last column shows the resulting data that will be transmitted when  
the additional characters are applied.  
Using this feature requires a thorough understand-  
ing of your specific system requirements. If you  
have questions or need assistance with these fea-  
tures, call your system specialist or PSC technical

Setting Global One or two prefix characters may be added to the standard label for-  
mat when desired. For the addition of more than two prefix characters,  
contact your distributor or technical support representative for Full  
Label Edit (FLE) options.  
Prefix(es)  
Identify your specific system requirements before adding or modifying  
these settings, then follow these steps:  
1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on the inside back cover of this  
manual, and identify the ASCII character(s) and the corre-  
sponding Hex Code(s) for the ASCII characters you will use as  
prefixes.  
For example, if you are going to send two prefix characters as ‘STX’  
(start transmit) and ‘SP’ (Space), the ASCII chart shows that ‘STX’  
equals 02 hex and ‘SP’ equals 20 hex.  
2. Scan the SET bar code on page 50.  
3. Scan the SET PREFIX bar code.  
4. Turn to Appendix C: Keypad on page 147, and scan the four dig-  
its corresponding to the hex values determined in step one  
above. (For the example, scan 0, 2, 2, 0). Return to this page and  
go to step five.  
Successful programming of a prefix requires 4  
digits.  
NOTE  
If you make a mistake or lose your place while  
setting this option, scan the END bar code to  
exit Programming Mode. The scanner will  
sound a two-beep error tone to indicate that  
programming was incomplete, and the setting  
NOTE  
will remain as it was before entering Program-  
ming Mode.  
5. Scan the END bar code.  
You have added a two character prefix to all bar code data, regardless  
of label symbology, that will be added to the label data before it is sent  
to the host.

when desired. For the addition of more than two suffix characters, con-  
tact your distributor or technical support representative for Full Label  
Edit (FLE) options.  
Suffix(es)  
Identify your specific system requirements before adding or modifying  
these settings, then follow these steps:  
1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on the inside back cover of this  
manual, and identify the ASCII character(s) and the corre-  
sponding Hex Code(s) for the ASCII characters you will use as  
suffixes.  
For example, if you are going to send two suffix characters as ‘LF’ (Line  
Feed) and ‘CR’ (Carriage Return). The ASCII chart shows that ‘LF’  
equals 0A hex and ‘CR’ equals 0D hex.  
2. Scan the SET bar code on page 51.  
3. Scan the Set Suffix bar code.  
4. Turn to Appendix C: Keypad on page 147, and scan the four dig-  
its corresponding to the Hex Values determined in step one  
above. (For the example, scan 0, A, 0, D). Return to this page  
and go to step five.  
If you are using the Universal Wedge interface,  
do not modify the suffix setting. Refer to the

value is set to zero. To set a prefix or suffix that has only one character,  
follow these steps:  
Character  
Prefix or Suffix  
1. Scan the SET bar code on page 53.  
2. Scan SET PREFIX or SET SUFFIX bar code.  
3. Turn to the keypad (Appendix C: Keypad on page 147) and scan  
the two-digit hex code that represents your desired character  
(refer to the ASCII chart on the inside back cover of this man-  
ual for this conversion).  
4. Scan the digit ‘0’ two times to disable transmission of a second  
character.  
For example, if ‘Space’ (SP) is desired, the chart shows that the corre-  
sponding hex code for ‘SP’ is 20, thus you would scan the digit 2, then  
the digit 0 for the first character, followed by 00 digits from the keypad  
for the second character, (e.g., scan 2,0,0,0). Return to this page and go  
to step five.  
Successful programming of a prefix or suffix  
requires 4 digits.

1. Look at the ASCII chart on the inside back cover, and identify  
the ASCII character(s) and the corresponding Hex Code(s) for  
the ASCII characters you will use as identifiers.  
3. Scan the bar code starting on page 58 representing the symbol-  
ogy whose Label I.D. you wish to modify. Scan only one sym-  
bology type per programming session.  
In our example, we would scan the ‘UPC-A’ symbology bar code.  
4. Identify and scan the four digits from the Appendix C: Keypad  
on page 147 that correspond to the Hex Values you determined  
in step one above. Return to this page and go to step five.  
The hex values from the ASCII chart that correspond to ‘A1’ from our  
example are as follows: 41 hex = ‘A’, and 31 hex = ‘1’. Thus, we would  
scan digit programming bar codes in this order: 4, 1, 3, 1.  
5. Scan the END bar code on page 60.  
Successful programming requires 4 digits for  
the Label I.D.  
NOTE  
You have changed the default Label I.D. for UPC-A from ‘A’ to ‘A1’.

Setting Single The scanner will not transmit a label I.D. character if its hex value is set  
to zero. If you have determined that you need a Label I.D. that contains  
only a single character, follow this modified procedure:  
Character  
Label I.D.  
1. Scan the SET bar code on page on page 58.  
2. Scan your selection from the list starting on page 58 for the  
symbology identifier you plan to change.  
For example, scan the EAN-8 bar code to select that symbology.  
3. Turn to the keypad (Appendix C: Keypad on page 147) and scan  
the two-digit hex code that represents your desired character  
(refer to the ASCII chart on the inside back cover of this man-  
ual for this conversion).  
4. Scan the digit ‘0’ two times to disable transmission of a  
second character. Return to this page.  
As an example, assume that you want to change the Label I.D. for  
EAN-8 from the default setting “FF” to the single character “8”. In this  
example, note that the chart shows that the ASCII character ‘8’ is equiv-  
alent to 38 hex, therefore the digits 3, then 8 should be scanned fol-  
lowed by two zeros (00) to indicate a single character I.D. (e.g., scan  
3,8,0,0)  
5. Scan the END bar code on page 60.  
Successful programming requires 4 digits for  
the Label I.D.  
NOTE  
If you make a mistake or lose your place while  
setting this option, scan the END bar code to  
exit Programming Mode. The scanner will  
sound a two-beep error tone to indicate that  
programming was incomplete, and the setting  
NOTE  
will remain as it was before entering Program-  
ming Mode.  
Disabling This procedure is the same as Setting Single Character Label I.D. above,  
except you should scan four zeros before scanning the END bar code.

Symbologies Supported  
Symbology selection (bar code type) determines which symbologies  
the scanner will decode. The chart below shows the symbologies that  
are supported by each interface. Once you have identified the symbolo-  
gies you wish to enable, turn to the following pages, enable those sym-  
bologies and set the data format options (e.g. check digit, start/stop  
characters) required by your host system for each symbology type.  
You must enable the symbology format options settings that are com-  
patible with your host system.  
The factory settings for each interface were chosen to meet the stan-  
dard industry requirements and in most cases you will not need to  
change the symbology format settings. If you are unsure of your sys-  
tem requirements, test the scanner using the factory settings before  
making any changes.

Symbology Overview  
This section provides a brief descriptions of each of the many symbol-  
ogy features and options available.  
Enable Code 39 - selects Code 39 as an active symbology and allows  
selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop and Single Digit options.  
Enable PharmaCode 39 - is a symbology subset of Code 39. Enabling  
PharmaCode 39 allows the scanner to read both PharmaCode 39 and  
Standard Code 39 labels.  
Standard Code 39 must be enabled before  
PharmaCode can be enabled.  
NOTE  
Enable Code 128 - selects Code 128 as an active symbology. The scan-  
ner is preset to recognize all Code 128 bar codes that have between  
1 and 50 characters.  
Enable UCC/EAN 128 - chooses EAN 128 as an active symbology. The  
Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM  
USA) have standardized the reporting of data sources from bar code  
reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the  
symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate  
between UCC/EAN-128 (Code 128 with Function Character 1 in the  
first position) and standard Code 128 symbols. When this feature is  
disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.  
Enable Interleaved 2 of 5 - selects Interleaved 2 of 5 as an active sym-  
bology. Allows change of Check Digit or label format (fixed or variable  
length) options.  
Enable Codabar - selects Codabar as an active symbology. Allows  
selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop character and format, or label for-  
mat (fixed or variable length) options.  
Enable UPC-A - enables UPC-A as an active symbology. If you enable  
this symbology, additional options for symbology expansion and read-  
ing add-ons are available.  
Enable UPC-E - tells the scanner to recognize UPC-E as an active sym-  
bology. Like UPC-A, UPC-E offers options for symbology expansion  
and reading of add-ons.

Enable EAN-13 - selects EAN-13 as an active symbology. EAN-13  
options are similar to those of the EAN-8 symbology.  
Enable EAN-8 - selects EAN-8 as an active symbology. EAN-8 symbol-  
ogy selection also allows options for symbology expansion and reading  
of add-ons.  
Enable Code 93 - enables Code 93 as an active symbology. The scanner  
is preset to recognize all Code 93 bar codes that have between 1 and 50  
characters.  
Enable Standard 2 of 5 - selects Standard 2 of 5 as an active symbology.  
Options for this symbology are similar to Interleaved 2 of 5  
features.  
IATA - is a special symbology subset of Standard 2 of 5. Enabling IATA  
selects this custom code as the active Standard 2 of 5 symbology  
(superseding any other Standard 2 of 5 features).  
Standard 2 of 5 must be enabled in order for  
IATA to be active, however, when IATA is  
enabled, Standard 2 of 5 will not be decoded.  
NOTE  
Enable MSI/Plessey - selects MSI/Plessey as an active symbology.  
Allows selection of Check Digit or label format (fixed or variable  
length) options.

Interleaved 2 of 5 Options  
The Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable  
features:  
Check Digit  
Label Length Format  
Read Verification  
QuadraLogic Decoding  
Check Digit Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit  
contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature,  
your bar codes must contain a Check Digit.  
If the Check Digit is not calculated, the digit will be sent regardless of  
settings for transmit or don’t transmit. For example, if you choose to  
Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check  
Digit encoded in the bar code without verifying its accuracy.  
Label Length Label length format permits the selection between variable length or  
Format  
fixed length formats. For best performance it is recomended to use the  
Fixed Length settings when your application requires only one or two  
label lengths.  
Variable Length Format - directs the scanner to read all labels from the  
minimum label length to 50. Set Minimum Length as high as your  
application allows.  
Minimum Label Length - selects the minimum label length  
that the scanner will recognize. The minimum label length for  
this symbology must be an even number of characters between  
02 and 501.  
Fixed length Format - directs the scanner to read only one or two label  
lengths.  
If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for pro-  
gramming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The  
labels are:  
Set First Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next two  
programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label  
length. This setting can be any even number of characters  
between 02 and 501 characters.  
1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read will  
vary depending upon the interface type, and bar code physical size and quality.

Set Second Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next  
two programming labels scanned will define the second fixed  
label length. This setting can be any even number of characters  
between 02 and 501 characters.  
No Second Fixed Length - configures the scanner to recognize  
only the first fixed length.

Codabar Options  
The Codabar symbology has the following programmable features:  
Check Digit  
Gap Check  
Label Length Format  
Start/Stop Character  
Start/Stop Match  
Start/Stop Format  
Read Verification  
QuadraLogic Decoding  
Check Digit Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify the label’s contents  
have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your labels must  
include a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit  
the Check Digit.  
If the Check Digit is not calculated, the digit will be sent regardless of  
settings for transmit or don’t transmit. For example, if you choose to  
Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check  
Digit encoded in the label without verifying its accuracy.  
Gap Check Disabling Gap Check allows the scanner to combine two label halves  
printed in close proximity to each other that may have been printed at  
different times and perhaps different locations.  
Label Length Label length format permits the selection between variable length or  
Format  
fixed length formats. For best performance it is recomended to use the  
Fixed Length settings when your application requires only one or two  
label lengths.  
Variable Length Format - directs the scanner to read all labels from  
minimum label length to 50. Set Minimum Length as high as your  
application allows.  
Minimum Label Length - selects the minimum label length  
that the scanner will recognize. The minimum label length for  
this symbology must be between 03 and 501.  
Fixed length Format - directs the scanner to read only one or two label  
lengths.  
1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read will  
vary depending upon the interface type, and bar code physical size and quality.

If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for pro-  
gramming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The  
labels are:  
Set First Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next two  
programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label  
length. This setting must be between 03 and 501 characters.  
Set Second Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next  
two programming labels scanned will define the second fixed  
label length. This setting must be between 03 and 501  
characters.  
No Second Fixed Length - configures the scanner to recognize  
only the first fixed length.  
Start/Stop Start/Stop Characters can be either Send or Don’t Send depending on  
Characters  
your host’s interface requirement. Refer to your host user’s manual to  
identify your system requirements.  
Start/Stop Match Start/Stop Match can be enabled or disabled.  
Start/Stop Start/Stop Format can be set to one of four standard format options:  
Format  
ABCD/TN*E, ABCD/ABCD, abcd/tn*e, or abcd/abcd. This setting  
must match your system requirements. If you select one of these  
options, it determines how the ASCII characters A, B, C, D (used for  
Start/Stop characters) are translated before being sent to the host.  
Read Verification Read Verification is the number of times the scanner is required to read  
the bar code data before sending the label data to the host.  
QuadraLogic QuadraLogic Decoding directs the scanner to decode labels with wide-  
Decoding  
spread problems of spots, voids, and/or non-uniform widths.  
To optimize your scanner’s performance activate this option only for  
symbologies for which it is necessary.  
There are many additional ways to configure the scanner to read and  
decode extremely poor labels. Contact your sales representative or ser-  
vice provider for other advanced QuadraLogic Decoding settings.

UPC/EAN There are many ways to configure the scanner to handle add-ons. The  
Add-ons  
scanner uses four filters that can be specified to define how add-ons  
will be handled. The following is true for each filter.  
Each add-on type can be disabled, required or optional.  
Any combination of the four UPC/EAN symbologies can be  
affected.  
The 2-digit, 5-digit and C128 add-ons can be individually  
configured.  
The leading digits of the base labels affected can be specified.  
The settings below represent only a small por-  
tion of the options available for this feature.  
Contact your sales representative or service  
provider if you need more assistance with  
NOTE  
advanced add-on settings.  
This programming guide supports the following add-on filters for  
UPC/EAN:  
Required means that UPC/EAN labels MUST contain a  
2-digit, 5-digit or C128 add-on segment in order for the scanner  
to recognize or decode them.  
Optional directs the scanner to recognize UPC/EAN bar codes  
with or without P2, P5 or C128 2-digit add-on segments.  
Disable Add-ons means the scanner will not recognize or  
decode any add-on segment of UPC/EAN labels, but will read  
and decode the standard UPC/EAN portion of the label.  
Due to the structure of add-on codes, selecting  
the optional setting makes it impossible to  
ensure that the scanner will always read the  
add-on portion of the label. PSC makes no  
guarantee, either written or implied, that scan-  
ners with optional add-on decoding enabled  
will perform with the speed and accuracy  
required for any given application.

Standard 2 of 5/IATA Options  
The Standard 2 of 5/IATA symbologies have the following program-  
mable features:  
Check Digit  
Label Length Format  
Read Verification  
Check Digit Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit  
contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature,  
your bar codes must contain a Check Digit.  
If the Check Digit is not calculated, the digit will be sent regardless of  
settings for transmit or don’t transmit. For example, if you choose to  
Transmit Check Digit, but not calculate, the scanner sends the Check  
Digit encoded in the bar code without verifying its accuracy.  
Label Length Label length format permits the selection between variable length or  
Format  
fixed length formats. For best performance it is recomended to use the  
Fixed Length settings when your application requires only one or two  
label lengths.  
Variable Length Format - directs the scanner to read all labels from the  
minimum label length to 50. Set Minimum Length as high as your  
application allows.  
Minimum Label Length - selects the minimum label length  
that the scanner will recognize. The minimum label length for  
this symbology must be between 01 and 501.  
Fixed length Format - directs the scanner to read only one or two label  
lengths.  
If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for pro-  
gramming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The  
labels are:  
Set First Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next two  
programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label  
length. This setting must be between 01 and 501 characters.  
Set Second Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next  
two programming labels scanned will define the second fixed  
label length. This setting must be between 01 and 501  
characters.  
1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read will  
vary depending upon the interface type, and bar code physical size and quality.

MSI/Plessey Options  
The MSI/Plessey symbology has the following programmable  
features:  
Check Digit  
Label Length Format  
Read Verification  
Check Digit Check Digit calculates the Check Digit(s) to verify the labels contents  
have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your bar codes  
must include a Check Digit(s). You may also choose to transmit or not  
transmit the Check Digit(s).  
Check Digit Calculation - enables or disables calculation of  
the Check Digit(s).  
Transmit Check Digit - enables or disables transmission of  
MSI/Plessey Check Digit(s).  
Number of Check Digits - specifies either one or two Check  
Digits.  
Label Length Label length format permits the selection between variable length or  
Format  
fixed length formats. For best performance it is recomended to use the  
Fixed Length settings when your application requires only one or two  
label lengths.  
Variable Length Format - directs the scanner to read all labels from the  
minimum label length to 16. Set Minimum Length as high as your  
application allows.  
Minimum Label Length - selects the minimum label length  
that the scanner will recognize. The minimum label length for  
this symbology must be between 04 and 16.  
Fixed Length Format - directs the scanner to read only one or two label  
lengths.  
If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for pro-  
gramming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The  
labels are:  
Set First Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next two  
programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label  
length. This setting must be between 04 and 16 characters.  
124

Set Second Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next  
two programming labels scanned will define the second fixed  
label length. This setting must be between 04 and 16  
characters.  
No Second Fixed Length - configures the scanner to recognize  
only the label length chosen as the first fixed length.

Low Power When enabled, Low Power Mode causes the scanner to powerdown  
completely between trigger pulls. This results in very low idle current,  
lowering the energy needs of the scanner. It does, however, require the  
scanner's microcontroller to reboot with every trigger pull. This will  
introduce a very small delay in scanning when this mode is enabled.  
Therefore, it is recommended that this mode only be used when the  
scanner is connected to a battery powered terminal.
