INTRODUCTION

This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces, barcodes for

customizing the SP400RF scanner's operation and a listing of standard

factory settings. It is important to note that many of the features and

programming labels contained here are identical to those available for

other SP400 models. Since the SP400RF contains software enhance-

ments and characteristics that set it apart from other models, it is recom-

mended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels

and information (except for other SP400RF product-specific publica-

tions).

The organization of this manual is intended to support a variety of users

while making it quick and easy to find the information you need. Look at

the descriptions that follow to find where to go from here.

I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS

If you do not regularly use barcode labels to configure (program) scan-

ners, it will be very helpful to read the introductory portions of this

manual prior to beginning your programming session. In addition to the

information that follows, information of specific interest to you is titled:

— Integrating Peripherals with Host Systems

— Changing Interfaces

— Customizing Your Scanner Operation

— Programming Overview

— What is Programming Mode?

— How to Program Using Barcodes

— The Programming Session

— Scanner Response When in Programming Mode

— If You Make A Mistake

— Where to Go From Here

INTEGRATING PERIPHERALS WITH HOST SYSTEMS

It is important that you understand that the scanner must contain software

that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface.

Next, turn to Appendix A, Standard Factory Settings, which contains a

complete factory default configuration listing. Assuming that your scanner

is configured using the standard factory settings, use this list to identify

any changes or additions you need to make.

Then, locate the programming labels you need and change the necessary

settings. Once you have completed these steps, you can begin scanning.

CHANGING INTERFACES

The scanner is configured at the factory to support one of two interface

groups listed in Table 1 below. Changing the current interface is simply a

matter of selecting the desired interface from your scanner's group, and

enabling the new interface using the programming labels contained in this guide.

NOTE

If you attempt to select an interface that is

not supported by your scanner, or if the

scanner's interface hardware malfunctions,

all three LEDs will flash five times and the

scanner will automatically reset to the stan-

dard RS-232 interface. The scanner will oth-

erwise be returned to normal function.

Once you have enabled the new interface with the appropriate label, the

new interface becomes the default interface that is active whenever power

is applied to the scanner.

The following steps describe the interface change procedure.

1. Turn to the appropriate page in this manual and scan the

desired interface enable programming label. This will enable

the software for the new interface and disable the 'old'

interface software.

2. Scan a barcode to verify that the scanner communicates

correctly with the host system. Some sample barcodes are

provided on the last pages of this manual. If any changes to

the scanner's factory settings are needed, use the instructions

titled, Customizing Your Scanner Operation.

Formerly titled: "Spectra-Physics OCIA" or "S-P OCIA".

CUSTOMIZING YOUR SCANNER OPERATION

When enabling a new interface, it may be necessary to modify the stan-

dard factory settings to match your specific host system's communication

and symbology requirements. Check with your system administrator to

identify your host system's specific interface requirements to ensure that

they match the new interface you have selected. Also, the scanner's

operational features (e.g. speaker volume, radio channel frequency, etc.)

can be customized to match your unique requirements.

1. Use the labels in this manual to modify the standard configu-

ration to match your specific interface requirements or user

preference.

NOTE

Ensure that your planned modifications are

compatible with the current interface. For

example, baud rate selections are only valid in

the RS-232 interface. The scanner will read

and seem to accept programming labels for

features invalid to the current interface, how-

ever the feature will not be modified.

2. Enable any additional symbologies as required and exit

Programming Mode.

3. Scan a regular barcode label and verify that the scanner and

host communicate correctly.

4. You have completed the factory settings change procedure.

If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional infor-

mation, contact your local distributor using the listings located on the back

cover of this guide.

PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features.

These features can be configured using the barcode labels contained in

this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix

B, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program

the scanner using these barcodes, the scanner stores the changes until

reprogrammed. Whenever you use these labels to change programmable

features, you are changing these features for the active interface only.

WHAT IS PROGRAMMING MODE?

To change the scanner's programmed settings, it is necessary to place the

scanner in Programming Mode using the special “set” label. This ensures

that the scanner only recognizes the special programming labels contained

in this programming guide.

HOW TO PROGRAM USING BARCODES

The following pages contain special barcode labels that are used to

change or enable the scanner's programmable options. All programming

sessions follow this order, unless otherwise instructed:

NOTE

Programming should be performed with the

base station in near proximity to ensure opti-

mal communication and sllow the user to

monitor the base station’s LED indicators.

1. Scan the SET label at the top of the page. The scanner will

emit two beeps indicating it has read the label, and the base

station’s red LED will begin flashing. As long as the lamp is

flashing, the scanner will only recognize and decode pro-

gramming labels.

2. Scan the feature label(s) for the programmable options

you wish to enable. The scanner will emit two beeps each

time you scan a valid label. (Note that not all features are

available for all interfaces.) The first beep indicates that the

scanner has read the label, the second announces base station

acknowledgement of the label.

3. Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to complete

the programming session and exit Programming Mode.

SP400RF Programming Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

THE PROGRAMMING SESSION

It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming

session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between

scanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is

recommended that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult

to discover where an error has been made, should you make a mistake in

the programming sequence. Additionally, it can be confusing to deter-

mine which features may or may not have been successfully set following

a failed session.

The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the “end” label is

scanned. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before

scanning the “end” label, will cause the scanner to forget any program-

ming labels scanned during the current programming session and will

cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.

SCANNER RESPONSE WHEN IN PROGRAMMING MODE

Visual verification that the SP400RF is in Programming Mode is provided

by the red LED located on the base station, which will steadily flash until

Programming Mode is exited. While in Programming Mode, the scanner

will not decode regular barcode labels and will only enable features

supported by the currently active interface. Maintaining a good record of

all changes made will help ensure that you know if the standard factory

settings have been changed.

Scanning regular barcode labels — the scanner will reject the

label, sounding first a “good read” beep, followed by a low

“bad” beep.

Scanning a valid programming label —

a. If the feature is supported by the active interface, the

scanner will sound two “good read” beeps.

b. If incomplete or incorrect programming has been entered

when the END label is scanned, the rejection tone will be

sounded (a “good read” beep, followed by a low “bad”

beep) regardless of whether the labels scanned were

valid programming labels. For example, if the END label

is scanned immediately following the SET label, the lack

of programming content will result in a rejection tone.

IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE...

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the

scanner's settings or wish to re-set the scanner's configuration, use the

Return to Factory Settings label on this page to return the scanner's

configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will reset any

changes made during a previous programming session.

Appendix A contains a complete list of all standard factory settings.

WARNING

After returning the scanner to factory de-

faults, you must scan the BASE STATION I.D.

label (located on labels on the top and side of

the base station) and the CONFIGURATION

UPLOAD label as described below. This will

reestablish the communication link between

the scanner and base station, and complete

the restoration of the scanner's original con-

figuration.

RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS

Scan this label to return the scanner to the factory settings for the active

interface. It is unneccessary to scan “set” and “end” labels with this label.

CONFIGURATION UPLOAD

Use this option to upload the configuration file from the base station to

the scanner.

WHERE TO GO FROM HERE

Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Turn to Appendix A and review the factory settings for the

interface you will be using.

2. Scan the interface enable barcode label if you are changing

interfaces.

3. Scan any feature labels that are unique to the interface you

are currently programming. These interface specific program-

ming labels immediately follow each interface selection label.

5. Turn to the Symbology section if you are going to change any

barcode symbologies or modify any symbology related

features.

6. Turn to the General Features section of this guide 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” label, you are ready to scan.

HANDSHAKING

Review your system documentation to identify handshaking requirements,

and use these labels to change the settings if required. The following brief

descriptions explain each selection.

HARDWARE CONTROL

CTS/RTS Flow Control — is hardware handshaking. The

scanner activates the RTS (Ready to Send) line when it is ready to

send data to the host. The scanner waits for an active Clear to

Send (CTS) signal from the host before transmitting data. If

hardware control is disabled, CTS/RTS communication will not

take place. If the host deactivates the CTS line during data trans-

mission, the host will receive additional characters for no more

than 2msec¹.

CTS Scan Control — is also a hardware control. When scan

control is enabled, label transmission is disabled until CTS is

asserted and de-asserted.

Varies slightly depending upon baud rate selected.

SP400RF Programming Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

SOFTWARE CONTROL

XON/XOFF — this is software handshaking that allows the host to

control data transmission. If the host sends an X^OFFcommand to

the scanner, the scanner will not send the barcode data until it

receives an X^ONcommand from the host. If the host sends the

XOFF command during data transmission, the host will receive no

more than two additional characters.

SETTING NON-SYMBOLOGY SPECIFIC PREFIX(ES)

These characters will be added to the standard label format when your

host system has specific and unique requirements for information added

to the barcode label data before it is sent to the host. Identify your

specific system requirements before adding or modifying these settings,

then...

1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on page 33 and identify the

ASCII character(s) and the corresponding 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_hexand 'SP' equals 20_hex

2. Scan the SET label.

3. Scan the SET PREFIX label on this page.

4. Scan the digits that correspond to the Hex Values.

For the example in step four, scan 0, 2, 2, 0.

NOTE

Ifyoumakeamistake, orloseyourplacewhilesettingthisoption,

scan the “end” label to exit Programming Mode. The scanner will

sound a rejection tone (a “good beep” followed by a low “bad

beep”) to indicate that programming was incomplete, and the

setting will remain as it was before entering Programming Mode.

5. Scan END.

You have added a two character prefix to all label data,

regardless of label symbology, that will be added to the

label data before it is sent to the host.

SETTING SYMBOLOGY SPECIFIC LABEL IDENTIFIERS (LABEL I.D.)

Symbology-specific label identifiers comprise one or two ASCII characters

that can precede or follow barcode label data as it is transmitted to the

host. The host uses these characters as a means of distinguishing between

symbologies.

Industry standards have been established for symbology-specific label

identifiers, and are listed in the table below. Factory default identifiers are

preset to these standards for the SP400RF scanner.

UPC-A------------------------ 'A'

UPC-E ------------------------ 'E'

EAN-8 ----------------------- 'FF'

EAN-13 ----------------------- 'F'

UPC-A (2 add-on) --------- 'A'

UPC-A (5 Add-on) --------- 'A'

UPC-A (8 Add-on) ---------- 'A'

UPC-E (2 add-on) --------- 'E'

UPC-E (5 Add-on) --------- 'E'

UPC-E (8 Add-on) ---------- 'E'

EAN-8 (2 add-on)--------- 'FF'

EAN-8 (5 Add-on) -------- 'FF'

EAN-8 (8 Add-on)---------- 'FF'

EAN-13 (2 add-on) -------- 'F'

EAN-13 (5 Add-on) -------- 'F'

EAN-13 (8 Add-on) --------- 'F'

Code 39 ---------------------- '*'

Codabar --------------------- '%'

Interleaved.2 of 5 ----------- 'i'

Standard.2 of 5------------- 's'

Code 93 ---------------------- '&'

Code 128 -------------------- '#'

MSI/Plessey---------------- '@'

TABLE 1. INDUSTRY STANDARD LABEL IDENTIFIERS (ALL ARE PREFIXES)

To set symbology-specific label identifiers:

1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on the previous page and

identify the ASCII character(s) and the corresponding Hex

Code(s) for the ASCII characters you will use as identifiers.

You will also need to determine whether the character(s) will

need to be sent as a prefix or a suffix.

For example: You need to change the label identifier prefix

for UPC-A to 'A1'.

2. Scan the SET label below.

3. Scan either the TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS PREFIX or TRANS-

MIT LABEL I.D. AS SUFFIX, depending on your requirements.

For our example, the 'transmit as prefix' label would be

scanned.

SETTING SYMBOLOGY SPECIFIC LABEL IDENTIFIERS (LABEL I.D.)

CONTINUED

4. Scan the label representing the symbology whose label

identifier you wish to modify.

In our example, we would scan the 'UPC-A' symbology

label.

5. Identify and scan the digits that correspond to the Hex

Values.

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 scandigit programming labels

in this order: 4, 1, 3, 1.

6. Scan the END label.

In our example, you have changed the default label iden-

tifier prefix for UPC-A from 'A' to 'A1'.

HOW TO SET SINGLE CHARACTER LABEL I.D.

If you only want a single character identifier, follow this modified proce-

dure for setting label identifier.

1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on page 33 and identify the

ASCII character and the corresponding Hex Code for the

ASCII character you will use as the symbology specific

identifier.

2. Scan the SET label.

3. Scan the label identifier label for the symbology identifier that

you are going to change.

As an example, assume that you want to change the label

identifier for EAN-8 from the default setting FF to the ASCII

value 8. Scan the Set Symbology Specific Label Identifier

barcode for EAN-8.

5. Identify the hex value that correspond to the ASCII character.

In this example '8' equals 38_hex

Simply follow the hex value for '8' (38_hex) with the One

Character Only label. This tells the scanner that '8' is a

single digit label identifier.

6. Scan the barcodes values.

For the example in step five, scan 3, 8, One Character Only

on the following two pages.

NOTE

Ifyoumakeamistake, orloseyourplacewhilesettingthisoption,

scan the “end” label to exit Programming Mode. The scanner will

sound a rejection tone (a “good beep” followed by a low “bad

beep”) to indicate that programming was incomplete, and the

setting will remain as it was before entering Programming Mode.

7. Scan the END label.

You have changed the default label identifier for EAN-8

from 'FF' to '8'.

SYMBOLOGIES

Symbology selection (barcode 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 symbologies

you wish to enable, turn to the following pages, enable those symbologies

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 compatible with your host

system.

The factory settings for each interface were chosen to meet the standard

industry requirements and in most cases you will not need to change the

symbology format settings. If you are unsure of your system require-

ments, test the scanner using the factory settings before making any

changes.

UPC/EAN OPTIONS

The information below provides a brief description of the programmable

UPC/EAN features included on the following pages.

Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 — adds a leading zero to a UPC-A

label which 'expands' the label to the EAN-13 data format.

Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match

those required for EAN-13.

Expand UPC-E to UPC-A — expands UPC-E labels to UPC-A

data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbol-

ogy ID to match those required for UPC-A.

If this feature and Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 are both en-

abled, label data will be sent to the host in EAN-13 label

format.

Expand EAN-8 to EAN-13 — adds five zeros in front of an

EAN-8 label. Data is sent in EAN-13 data format. Selecting

this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those

required for EAN-13.

Expand UPC-E to EAN-13 — expands UPC-E labels to EAN-13

data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbol-

ogy ID to match those required for EAN-13.

UPC-A or UPC-E and EAN-8 or EAN-13 Two and Five Digit

Add-Ons

Optional — scanner will read UPC/EAN barcodes with or

without add-ons.

Required — UPC/EAN barcodes must have add-on or label

will not be read.

Disable — scanner will not recognize/read add-on portion

of UPC/EAN labels, but will read the main body of the label.

Price/Weight Check Digit — provides options for enabling

price/weight check digits. The feature includes selections for

domestic four or five digit, and European four or five digit, as

well as the option to disable the price/weight check.

When any expansion feature is enabled, the transmission of the Prefix, Suffix, Check

Digit and Number System Digit (NSD) are controlled by your selections for the

symbology 'expanded to' rather than the symbology 'expanded from'. For example, if

you expand UPC-E to UPC-A, settings for UPC-A determine how the scanner sends a

barcode's contents.

UPC/EAN ADD-ONS

If you need to scan UPC or EAN labels that include Add-on codes, the

selections on this page set the scanner's Add-on feature. There are three

Add-on read modes available: optional, required and disabled.

Optional — the scanner will recognize UPC barcodes with or

without Add-ons.

NOTE

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. Spectra-Physics

makes no guarantee, either written or implied, that scanners

with optional Add-on decoding enabled will perform with the

speed and accuracy required for any given application.

Required — the scanner will not recognize or decode any UPC/

EAN labels that do not contain an Add-on segment.

Disabled — the scanner will not recognize or decode any Add-

on segment of UPC/EAN labels. The scanner will read and

decode the standard UPC/EAN portion of the label.

PRICE/WEIGHT CHECK DIGIT

The price/weight check digit selections allow you to specify whether the

scanner should calculate an extra check digit based on a four or five-digit

price/weight block and compare it with the price/weight check digit

contained in the barcode. If the calculated check digit does not match the

value of the check digit contained in the barcode, the label will be

rejected as invalid. Select domestic four or five digit, European four or

CODE 39 OPTIONS

The Code 39 symbology has the following programmable features:

Check Digit — calculate the Check Digit to verify that the

Check Digit contained in the barcode label is correct. If you

enable this feature, your barcodes must contain a Check Digit.

You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check

Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by

the scanner. If you choose to Transmit Check Digit, but not

calculate, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the

barcode without verifying its accuracy. If you choose Don't

Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check

Digit's contents before sending the barcode data to the host.

Start/Stop Characters — you can choose either Send or Don't

Send depending on your host's interface requirement.

Code 39 Full ASCII — enable or disable Full ASCII Mode.

Code 39 Minimum Label Length — set the minimum label

length required for Code 39 labels (not including the check

character). This feature is provided to ignore small label

segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good

label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5

The Interleaved 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable

features:

Check Digit — calculate the Check Digit to verify that the

Check Digit contained in the barcode label is correct. If you

enable this feature, your barcodes must contain a Check

Digit.

You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check

Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by

the scanner. If you choose to Transmit Check Digit, but not

calculate, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the

barcode without verifying its accuracy. If you choose Don't

Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check

Digit's contents before sending the barcode data to the host.

Label Format — provides the selection between fixed or

variable length labels. If your application has labels with

specific fixed lengths, we recommend selecting fixed lengths

to improve read rate and avoid short reads.

You can select any valid number of digits for reading specific

length labels only. Read the following details for specific

Interleaved 2 of 5 limits.

INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 LABEL LENGTHS

Interleaved 2 of 5 Minimum Label Length — set the mini-

mum label length required for I 2/5 labels (not including the

check character). This feature is provided to ignore small

label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a

good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

Variable Length — If you select variable length, the scanner

will recognize labels with an even number of digits between

04 and 50 digits.

Fixed Length — If you select fixed length, there are three labels

for programming your scanner to read either one or two

fixed lengths. The labels are:

•

Set First Fixed Length — use this label to instruct the scanner

that the next two programming labels you scan will define the

first fixed label length. This setting can be any even number of

digits between 04 and 50 digits.

•

Set Second Fixed Length — use this label to instruct the

scanner that the next two programming labels you scan will

define the second fixed label length. Again, this setting can be

any even number of digits between 04 and 50 digits.

NoSecondFixedLength — scanthislabelaftersettingthefirst

fixed length to instruct the scanner to recognize only the label

length chosen as the first fixed length.

I 2 OF 5 CHECK DIGIT AND VARIABLE LENGTH LABEL SELECTIONS

These programming labels determine whether you compute and send the

check digit contents.

If you want to set the scanner to read only fixed length labels, follow the

procedures on the pages immediately following.

STANDARD 2 OF 5

The Standard 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features:

Normal or IATA Selection — offers a choice between using

"normal" format or IATA (International Airline Transport

Association) format within the Standard 2 of 5 symbology.

IATA is used for international tickets and boarding passes.

Check Digit — calculate the Check Digit to verify that the

Check Digit contained in the barcode label is correct. If you

enable this feature, your barcodes must contain a Check Digit.

NOTE

If you are using the IATA format, ONLY labels

with 15 characters will actually have their

Check Digit calculated per IATA standards

(recommended Practice 1720a, attachment

D, current 6/95). Labels with lengths other

than 15 characters will be passed without any

check digit calculation.

You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check

Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by

the scanner. If you choose to Transmit Check Digit, but not

calculate, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the

barcode without verifying its accuracy. If you choose Don't

CODABAR OPTIONS

The Codabar symbology has the following programmable features:

Check Digit — calculate the Check Digit to verify the labels

contents have been read correctly. If you enable this feature,

your barcodes must include a Check Digit. You may also

choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit.

Start/Stop Characters — you can choose either Send or Don't

Send depending on your host's interface requirement.

Start/Stop Format — if you need to send the Start/Stop

characters, there are four standard format options that you

can select from; ABCD/TN*E, ABCD/ABCD, abcd/tn*e, or

abcd/abcd. This setting must match your system require-

ments. If you select one of these options, it determines how

the ASCII characters A, B, C, D that are used for Start/Stop

characters, will be translated before being sent to the host.

Start/Stop Match — the requirement that the Start and Stop

characters must match (be identical) can be enabled or

disabled.

Label Format — provides the selection between fixed or

variable length labels. If your application has labels with

specific fixed length, we recommend selecting fixed lengths

to improve read rate.

If you select variable length, the scanner will recognize labels

with between 2 and 47 digits (not including the optional

check digit).

Set First Fixed Length — if you select fixed length, use

this feature to set a first fixed label length to a setting be-

tween 2 and 47 digits.

Set Second Fixed Length — if you select fixed length, use

this feature to set a second fixed label length to a setting

between 2 and 47 digits.

No Second Fixed Length — scan this label after setting the

first fixed length to instruct the scanner to recognize only the

label length chosen as the first label length.

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.

CODE 128 OPTIONS

AIM SYMBOLOGY ID PREFIX

The Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States (AIM

USA) have standardized the reporting of data sources from barcode

reading devices. Sending the AIM symbology prefix identifies the symbol-

ogy to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate between

UCC-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.

GENERAL FEATURES

The following section contains the features that are generally common to

all interfaces. These features provide a flexible, user configurable inter-

face that accommodates user preferences.

SP400RF Programming Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL

The SP400RF allows configuration of several different commands that can

be sent and received by the scanner, Base Station and host terminal.

Programming labels to set these options and their descriptions can be

found on the following pages. Configurable commands are:

ACK—Acknowledge. Thehostmessagewasreceivedandprocessed

correctly, and no data was requested from the scanner or Base

Station. (0x06)

CTS — Clear to Send. This is a command sent by an RS-232 host.

When CTS is enabled, the scanner must wait for an active CTS

command from the host before transmitting data. Valid only for

RS-232 interfaces.

ETX — End Transmission. Label transmissions can be "framed" by

optional STX (Start Transmission) and ETX characters, which are

selectable by the user. (Factory default is 000—disabled.)

Item On File — The host, upon receiving a label transmission from

the scanner and comparing the information with its database,

found a match. (0x7E)

Item Not On File — After receiving a label transmission from the

scanner, the host cannot find a match for the label in its database.

(0x7F)

NAK — No Acknowledge. The host message wasn't received

correctly (checksum or parity error, overrun, etc.).

STX — Start Transmission. Label transmissions can be "framed" by

optional STX and ETX (End Transmission) characters, which are

selectable by the user. (Factory default is 000—disabled.)

WACK — Wait for Acknowledge. This is a radio feature. When

enabled, it precedes the ACK signal¹.

In some systems, the ACK response is sent so quickly from the interface that it can

override the WACK signal. In this case, the WACK is never perceived by the scanner.

ACK/NAK for Labels — When enabled, allows ACK/NAK commands

to be sent to the host terminal.

ACK/NAK for Commands— When enabled, allows ACK/NAK com-

mands to be sent from the host terminal.

Item ON/NOT ON File — When enabled, the host sends either an

"Item On File", or "Item Not On File" upon receipt of label data

from the scanner.

STX/ETX

Label transmissions can be optionally "framed" by STX (Start Transmis-

sion) and ETX (End Transmission) commands. The BCD value represent-

ing any ASCII character shown in the table on the following page is

selectable, except for the following reserved ASCII characters: ack, nak, B,

D, E, R, ~ and del.

To set STX, follow these steps:

1. Determine your requirement for STX character(s), then

consult the ASCII chart shown on the next page to identify

the corresponding BCD value for the desired ASCII

character(s).

2. Scan the SET label.

3. Scan the SET STX label on this page.

4. Scan the digits on the following pages that correspond to the

required BCD value you determined from step one. A

"forced entry" of three digits is required to set the value, so it

will be necessary to preface the digits with a leading zero as

shown in the ASCII table.

NOTE

Ifyoumakeamistake,orloseyourplacewhilesettingthisoption,

scan the “end” label to exit Programming Mode. The scanner will

sound a rejection tone (a “good beep” followed by a low “bad

beep”) to indicate that programming was incomplete, and the

setting will remain as it was before entering Programming Mode.

5. Scan END.

To set ETX, follow steps one through five above, substituting ETX for STX

at all steps.

WHEN TO ACKNOWLEDGE

The SP400RF allows you to select the point at which the Base Station will

acknowledge messages from the scanner. An "Acknowledge" is a re-

sponse from the Base Station to the scanner with an ACK, WACK, NAK, or

no response (see Communications Protocol at the start of this section for a

definition of these terms). "When to Acknowledge" has three options:

Option ① -The Base Station acknowledges the receipt of a message from

the scanner after the message is checked.

Option ➁ -The Base Station acknowledges receipt of a message from the

scanner after the Base Station sends the last byte to the host

Option ➂ -The Base Station acknowledges receipt of a message from the

scanner after CTS (RS-232 only) is enabled from the host.

R^{ADIO AND}INTERFACE LAYERS (SOFTWARE)

For the radio layer to validate a message, the transmission from the

scanner to the Base Station is checked. (For example, CRC calculation,

header format, correct number of bytes, etc.) For the interface layer to

validate a message, the message from the radio layer is checked to ensure

it is a valid label for a selected interface option.

S^CANNERAUDIBLE RESPONSES

Once the scanner reads a barcode, it will produce a "Good Read" beep

immediately. If the scanner does not receive a response from the Base

Station within a programmed period of time after the label is read, the

scanner will emit a "Bad Transmission" indication¹for the second beep. If

the Base Station determines that the message is not a valid label for the

interface, or the Base Station has been told via host commands or host

handshaking to disable scanning, Base Station will send a NAK to the

scanner. The scanner will then sound a "NAK from the Base" indication¹

for the second beep. When any of the "When to Acknowledge" options

are enabled, the Base Station will send an ACK to the scanner, causing it

to sound an "ACK from the Base" indication¹.

Scanner beep indications are defined later in this section under the "When to Beep"

Options heading.

OPTION 1 — SEND ACK TO THE SCANNER ONCE BASE STATION RECEIVES A MESSAGE.

WACK MODE DISABLED—ACK will be sent immediately, once the

radio layer of software detects a valid transmission from the

scanner. With WACK Mode disabled, ACK is sent to the

scanner regardless of what the interface layer (software) has

done or is doing.

WACK MODE ENABLED —WACK is sent³once the radio layer

(software) validates the message, then ACK is sent to the

scanner once the interface layer (software) validates the

transmission from the scanner and has received an ACK from

the host (if the interface supports handshaking).

OPTION 2 — SEND ACK TO THE SCANNER AFTER MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED TO THE HOST.

WACK MODE DISABLED—ACK will be sent immediately, once the

radio layer of software detects a valid transmission from the

scanner. With WACK Mode disabled, ACK is sent to the

scanner regardless of what the interface layer (software) has

done or is doing.

WACK MODE ENABLED —WACK is sent³once the radio layer

(software) validates the message, then ACK is sent to the

scanner once the interface layer (software) validates the

transmission from the scanner, has sent the full message to

the host, and has received an ACK from the host (if the

interface supports handshaking).

edge".

In some systems, the ACK response is sent so quickly from the interface that it can

override the WACK signal. In this case, the WACK is never perceived by the scanner.

WACK MODE RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that WACK Mode be enabled to ensure the best, most

accurate performance. Scanner response will seem quicker when WACK

Mode is disabled, however, there is a greater chance that the scanner will

erroneously respond with a"Good Read" beep when the host has not

received the message, or is not ready for a message. As described in the

options above, this is because the interface layer status is not checked to

ensure its readiness to receive a message from the radio.

When WACK mode is enabled, wait time for host acknowledgement is a critical

setting. Reference the feature in this section titled "Wait Time for Host Acknowledge".

In some systems, the ACK response is sent so quickly from the interface that it can

override the WACK signal. In this case, the WACK is never perceived by the scanner.

“WHEN TO BEEP” OPTIONS

The SP400RF provides many options for programming the scanner's

audible beep. The beeper may be programmed to be silent¹, or may be

required to announce one or multiple communication events as they

occur between the scanner, Base Station and host terminal.

NOTE

Before programming this option, ensure that

your selection is compatable with your

scanner's setting for "When to Acknowledge"

on the previous two pages.

Table 1 describes the tone(s), duration and number of repetitions for all

SP400RF beep signals and indicates user programmability of the feature.

Tone — is the frequency of the beep measured in Hertz, with the

lowest tone sounded at 512 Hz and the highest at 4096 Hz.

RADIO CHANNEL FREQUENCY

Nine channels¹are available on the SP400RF to ensure good reception

and offer minimal interference with other local equipment. You may wish

to experiment with different channel settings to optimize your reception.

The factory default channel setting is channel five.

It is not necessary to scan SET or END labels in association with these

radio channel programming labels.

RADIO TRANSMIT POWER

Adjustment of radio transmission power may be necessary for two rea-

sons:

1. Reception is poor, or radio interference is heavy in the vicinity

(try adjusting power to HIGH to compensate²).

2. Use of the SP400RF is causing interference with other equipment

(set radio transmit power to LOW²).

SET

-------------------------------------

SET TRANSMIT POWER LOW --

SET TRANSMIT POWER HIGH --

END -------------------------------------

Another possible remedy for radio interference would be to configure the SP400RF

with a different channel. See Radio Channel Frequency.

WAIT TIME FOR HOST ACKNOWLEDGE

The wait time for the Base Station to receive an acknowledge command

from the host is adjustable in twenty millisecond ticks, with a selectable

range from 000 to 255 (0 to 5.1 seconds). The factory default setting for

this feature is 200ms.

WARNING

Wait time for host acknowledge is especially

criticalwhenWACKmodeisenabled,andshould

be calculated using the formula below.

number of bits per byte

baud rate + intercharacter

Wait Time

number of barcode characters x

To set the host acknowledge wait time:

1. Determine the desired wait time in twenty millisecond ticks

(for example: sixty).

2. Scan the SET label.

3. Scan the SET WAIT TIME FOR HOST ACKNOWLEDGE label.

4. Set the wait time by scanning the desired amount (note that

three digits are required). In the case of our example; 60

milliseconds would be selected by scanning 0-0-3 (20ms tick

x 3 = 60ms).

5. Scan the END label.

READ VERIFICATION

SP400RF programming has been improved to allow selection of read

verification "minimum read" requirements by symbology type, rather than

universally. This means that the scanner needn't waste valuable time

verifying high-confidence symbologies, while offering the security of

multiple read verification on less reliable codes.

NOTE

The more times the scanner is required to read and compare the

barcode data, the longer it will take to complete a good read cycle.

To set the minimum read requirement for a desired symbology:

1. Scan the SET label.

2. Scan one symbology label below to select the symbology to

be verified.

3. Scan the label on the following page representing the amount

of times you wish a barcode label of that symbology type to

be read before transmission to the host

4. Repeat steps one through three above until read verification has

been selected for all symbologies you desire to be verified.

5. Scan the END label.

A choice of two methods are available to indicate a low battery condition.

You may choose to have no audible indication (no beep), or a double

beep each time the trigger is pulled. Both methods disallow scanning to

occur until the battery is succesfully replaced.
