Chapter 2 Scanning  
Introduction  
This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes. Included are  
specific instructions on how to hold the scanner at the appropriate angle to ensure an  
accurate decode.  
2-1  
   
LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning  
Ready,Test, Scan  
1. Ready  
Make sure all connections are secure.  
2. Test  
Aim the scanner away from you and press the trigger. When you press the  
trigger, the scanning beam is energized. On the LS 1000, the length of time the  
beam remains on depends on the controller or terminal into which it is  
plugged. On the LS 1004, the scanner is energized for approximately 1 second  
(default).  
3. Scan  
Make sure the symbol you want to scan is within the scanning range. See the LS  
100x Decode Zone .  
Aim and press the trigger. On the LS 1000, the scan beam and SCAN LED lights for  
3.5 seconds, or until a successful decode occurs. On the LS 1004, if you use the  
scanner in default Low Power operating mode, the DECODE LED remains on until  
power down (maximum of 1 second). If the unit is programmed for Continuous  
power operating mode, the DECODE LED stays on until the next trigger pull.  
The scanner has read the symbol when:  
You hear a short, high tone beep (if the beeper is enabled).  
The DECODE LED lights.

LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning  
Aiming  
Scan the Entire Symbol  
Your scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.  
The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner.  
Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.  
A short, high tone beep indicates a good decode.

LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning  
Hold at an Angle  
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back  
into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can  
“blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection  
occurs is known as a “dead zone”.  
You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode.  
Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Maintaining the LS 1000 Scanner  
Battery Box Operation  
When using the LS 1000 Series with a battery box, you can use either an alkaline battery  
(recommended), or a nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery. Low power is signalled by  
4 short, high-tone beeps, coupled with scanning interruptions. If this occurs, change or  
recharge the battery as soon as possible. For battery box operation:  
1. Insert a 9-volt battery into the battery box.  
2. Plug the scanners 9-pin connector at the end of the coil cord into the end of the  
battery box.  
3. An output cable from the battery box connects the LS 1000 Series to the host device.  
Connect one end of this cable to the battery box and the other to the appropriate  
port on the host device.  
Note: Not all applications require a power supply or battery  
box. The output cable depends on the wand being  
replaced. See the Product Ordering Guide for more  
information.  
Changing the Battery  
Disconnect the battery box.  
To open the battery box, push up on the flanges at one end of the pack.  
Remove the old battery.  
Insert the new or recharged 9-volt battery into the battery box. Match the  
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the battery with the corresponding  
terminals in the battery box.  
Recharging a Nickel-Cadmium Battery  
Remove the battery from the battery box and place it in the recharging unit (not  
supplied by Symbol).  
To recharge the battery, follow the instructions supplied with the recharging  
unit.

Scanning Sequence  
A scanning sequence establishes a value for one parameter type. During a scanning  
sequence, bar codes are scanned to select a parameter. All bar codes necessary for  
programming the scanner are provided in the Appendix section of this manual.  
Scanning Sequence Example  
In this example, assume you want to program the scanner for all default settings except  
for two parameters, Appendix and Appendix .  
Since you want to keep the majority of the default settings, scan the Appendix bar  
code. The default for DECODE UPC ONLY is DISABLED, but in this example, you  
need it enabled. To do this, scan the DECODE UPC ONLY ENABLE bar code. Youll  
hear hi/ lo/ hi/ low warble. The warble sound indicates that the scanner has been  
successfully programmed for the selected parameter. Other beeper indications are  
listed in Chapter 3.  
The default for INTERCHARACTER DELAY is 0 msec, but you need it set to 2 msec.  
To program the scanner for a 2msec intercharacter delay, scan the bar codes listed  
below. This sequence includes a two-digit entry; single-digit entries require a leading  
zero.

Errors While Scanning  
Dont worry if you make an error during a scanning sequence. If youre scanning a  
multi-step sequence, scanning CANCEL removes you from that sequence so that you  
can start again.  
Otherwise, simply scan the single correct bar code for the desired parameter.

This option is used to select whether UPC/ EAN is decoded with or without  
supplemental characters, or whether the unit will autodiscriminate between the two.  
Supplementals are additionally appended characters, according to specific code format  
conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+5). If UPC/ EAN with supplemental  
characters 2-digit or 5-digit only is selected, UPC/ EAN symbols without supplemental  
characters wont be decoded. If UPC/ EAN without supplemental characters is  
selected and the scanner is presented with a UPC/ EAN plus supplemental symbol, the  
UPC/ EAN will be decoded and the supplemental characters will be ignored. If  
autodiscrimination is chosen, the scanner will, after additional processing to ensure a  
good decode, transmit either. If UPC/ EAN with supplemental characters is selected,  
UPC/ EAN without supplemental characters is ignored.

UPC/EAN Security Level  
The scanner offset four levels of decode security for UPC/ EAN bar codes. Increasing  
levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an  
inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose  
only that level of security necessary for any given application.  
Security Level 0 - This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate in its  
most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding in spec UPC/  
EAN bar codes.  
Security Level 1 - As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone  
to mis-decodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing mis-decodes of  
poorly printed bar codes, and the mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select  
this security level.  
Security Level 2 - If you are experiencing mis-decodes on poorly printed bar codes, and  
the mis-decodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7 and 8, select this security level.

Hardware Handshaking  
Hardware handshaking allows you to check the readiness of the receiving device  
before data is transmitted. If the receiving device is periodically occupied with other  
tasks, hardware handshaking is needed to prevent loss of transmitted data.

Software Handshaking  
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead  
of, that offered by hardware handshaking. These options may be combined; for  
example, ACK/ NAK with ENQ.  
No software handshaking  
None  
ACK/ NAK only  
The ACK/ NAK option checks the success or failure of transmission. The scanner  
expects one of the following host responses after a data transmission:  
<ACK> acknowledges a valid and successful transmission.  
<NAK> indicates a problem with the transmission.  
Whenever a NAK is received, the unit retransmits the same data and awaits an  
ACK/ NAK response. After three unsuccessful attempts to transmit the same  
data, the scanner aborts any further communication attempts of that message.  
ACK/NAK  
ENQ ONLY  
The ENQ option needs the host to request data before it is transmitted to the host.  
This ensures that data transmission occurs only when the host is ready to receive.  
When you select the wait for ENQ option, the scanner waits for an ENQ from the  
host before it transmits data; otherwise, the unit transmits data without waiting  
for an ENQ character from the host. With ENQ enabled, the scanner must receive  
an ENQ from the host within a 2-second period after the last activity, or a

Chapter 5 Glossary  
ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit code  
representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and control  
characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.  
BIT - Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally,  
eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values  
within the byte determines its meaning.  
BOOKLAND EAN - A specially-formatted European Article Numbering  
symbol with 13 characters (EAN-13), the first 3 of which are “978”.  
BYTE - On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1)  
combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits  
are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte  
in memory can be used to store one ASCII character.  
CDRH - Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency  
responsible for regulating laser product safety. This agency specifies various  
laser operation classes based on power output during operation.  
CHECK DIGIT - A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner  
inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the  
resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required  
for UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases  
the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded.  
CODABAR - A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of  
digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (- $ : / , +).  
CODE 128 - A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode  
all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.  
5-1  
 
LS 1000 Series Product Reference Guide  
CODE 3 OF 9 (CODE 39) - A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code  
symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters,  
numerals from 0 to 9, and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and space). The code  
name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are  
wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.  
CODE 93 - An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a  
full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39.  
CONTINUOUS SYMBOLOGY - A bar code or symbol in which all spaces  
within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a  
continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.  
DECODE - To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/ EAN) and then  
analyze the content of the specific bar code scanned.  
DECODE ALGORITHM - A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into  
data representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code  
symbol.  
DISCRETE SYMBOLOGY - A bar code or symbol in which the spaces  
between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code.  
DISCRETE 2 OF 5 - A binary bar code symbology representing each character  
by a group of five bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the  
group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insignificant. Only  
numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/ STOP characters may be encoded.  
EAN - European Article Number. This European/ International version of the  
UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards. Element  
dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail.  
HOST COMPUTER - A computer that serves other terminals in a network,  
providing such services as computation, database access, supervisory  
programs, and network control.  
IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency  
regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on  
power output during operation.  
5-2  
Glossary  
IEC CLASS I (IEC 825 Class I) - This is the lowest power IEC laser  
classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 25  
seconds of laser operation within any 100 second window and an automatic  
laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails.  
INTERCHARACTER GAP - The space between two adjacent bar code  
characters in a discrete bar code.  
INTERLEAVED BAR CODE - A bar code in which characters are paired  
together, using bars to represents the first character and the intervening spaces  
to represent the second.  
INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 - A binary bar code symbology representing character  
pairs in groups of five bars and five interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides  
for greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/ spaces)  
within each group determines which characters are encoded. This  
continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces. Only numeric (0 to 9)  
and START/ STOP characters may be encoded.  
LASER - An acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of  
Radiation. The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same  
frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb. Laser light is typically  
coherent and has a high energy density.  
LASER DIODE - A semiconductor type of laser connected to a power source  
to generate a laser beam. This laser type is a compact source of coherent light.  
PARAMETER - A variable that can have different values assigned to it.  
PROGRAMMING MODE - The state in which a scanner is configured for  
parameter values. See SCANNING MODE.  
QUIET ZONE - A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the  
start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character.  
REDUNDANCY - A decoding method which requires a bar code be  
recognized redundantly on a number of sweeps of the scan beam before a  
decode is declared. While slowing the time-to-decode, redundancy can help  
lower the possibility of a mis-decode of poorly printed symbols.

LS 1000 Series Product Reference Guide  
SCANNER - An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce  
a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its  
three main components are:  
1. Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar code.  
2. Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light (more light  
reflected from spaces).  
3. Signal conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector output into a  
digitized bar pattern.  
SCANNING MODE - The scanner is energized, programmed, and ready to  
read a bar code.  
SCANNING SEQUENCE - A method of programming or configuring  
parameters for a bar code reading system by scanning bar code menus.  
SELF-CHECKING CODE - A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to  
detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol.  
START/STOP CHARACTER - A pattern of bars and spaces that provides the  
scanner with start and stop reading instructions and scanning direction. The  
start and stop characters are normally to the left and right margins of a  
horizontal code.  
SYMBOL - A scannable unit that encodes data within the conventions of a  
certain symbology, usually including start/ stop characters, quiet zones, data  
characters, and check characters.  
SYMBOLOGY - The structural rules and conventions for representing data  
within a particular bar code type (e.g. UPC/ EAN, Code 39).  
UPC - Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each  
character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of which can be any of  
four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United  
States.
