Getting Started
Introduction
The N431X engine is designed for integration into a wide range of OEM
devices. The engine’s compact mechanical design can drop into many existing
applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate the ben-
efits of laser-based scanning into a variety of devices, including hand held com-
puters (PDTs, medical instrumentation, kiosks, diagnostic equipment, and
robotics).
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming
instructions for the N431X engine. Product specifications, dimensions, war-
ranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell’s bar code engines are factory programmed for the most common
terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,
programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM engine(s), take the fol-
lowing steps:
•
Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.
•
•
Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
Connecting the Development Engine to the PC
The development OEM engine can connect to a PC for evaluation.
Note: The development board and the kit components are not intended for
integration and should ONLY be used for evaluation of the engine.
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. If using a USB connection, connect the included interface cable to the
engine and to the matching USB port on the back of the computer.
Skip to step 5.
Note: For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to
Honeywell’s “USB Application Note,” available at
www.honeywellaidc.com.
Note: For USB connection only: Connecting power to both the micro-B
connector and the 10 pin RJ45 connector simultaneously could
damage the PC and/or the engine.

3. If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to
the engine and to the matching port on the back of the computer.
4. Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable.
Plug in the power supply.
5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps.
6. If connecting the Development engine using an RS-232 interface, all
communication parameters between the engine and the terminal must

match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232
protocol. Scan the RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs
RS-232 Interface
7. Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a
bar code is successfully decoded.
To connect a N4313/N4315 engine to your host system, please refer to the Inte-
gration Manual.
Reading Techniques
The engine projects a bright red scan beam that corresponds to the engine’s
scanning field of view. The scan beam should be centered horizontally over the
bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of the bar code. It will not read
if the scan beam is in any other direction.
Good Read
No Read
The scan beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele-
ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read a symbol (on a
page or on an object), hold the engine at an appropriate distance from the tar-
get and center the scan beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is
highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to
18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
Note: At 254mm a double beam of up to 3mm is to be expected. A double beam
will not affect scanning performance and is not a product defect.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell engines are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending
nearest technical support office (see Limited Warranty on page 11-1) for further
information.
Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before each
menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scan-
ning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire
sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom
Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom
defaults.
When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom
defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting.
To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you
had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom
defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set
Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code,
and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain,
but the beeper volume setting will be updated.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your engine, scan the Acti-
vate Custom Defaults bar code below. This resets the engine to the custom
default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the engine to the
factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the
custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
This selection erases all your settings and resets the engine to the origi-
nal factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.
!
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your engine, or you’ve
changed some options and want to restore the engine to factory default set-
tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate
Defaults. This resets the engine to the factory default settings.

Scan the following code to program the engine for USB HID bar code scan-
ners.
USB HID Bar Code Scanner
HID Fallback Mode
If you attempt to set a USB interface for your engine, but the setup fails on
the host system, you can program the engine to fall back to a HID keyboard
interface after a set length of time. For example, if the engine is configured
for Serial Emulation Mode, but the host system does not have the correct
driver, the engine would fail. If you set the HID Fallback Mode for a set
length of time, for example, 5 minutes, the engine would change to a HID
tion.
A unique beep sequence indicates that this mode has been entered. While
in HID Fallback Mode, the engine will not scan normal bar codes and
sounds a unique beep sequence that indicates the engine is in Fallback
Mode. Menu codes can still be scanned while in HID Fallback Mode, allow-
ing you to change the engine’s programming.
Scan the bar code below, then set the length for the HID Fallback (from 0-
60 minutes) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning
Save. Default = 5 minutes.

XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the engine to start
sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off).
When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the engine,
data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON
character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off
when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.
XON/XOFF On
* XON/XOFF Off
ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the engine waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a
NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the
communications cycle is completed and the engine looks for more bar
codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and
the engine waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by
scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan
ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the engine
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the engine will not transmit the output data to the host device.
See Require Output Sequence on page 3-21 for further information.
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the engine to output
data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your appli-
cation requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are
scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the engine to
the following Universal values. These are the defaults. Be certain you
want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence
symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the
requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols on the Programming Chart
to read these options.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output
Sequence, page 3-21).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you
want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
(inside back cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be
acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is

Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section
are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break-
down of a message string:

It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this
chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default
prefix = None. Default suffix is dependent on interface.

A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.
You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart,
beginning on page A-3, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one
time.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear
on the output.
When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all
symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix
or suffix character.

Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII Characters
You may need to emulate special keyboard functions, such as up or down
arrows, Alt/Make or Alt/Break commands, that are not supported in the
Characters (page 4-5) for a range of keyboard function keys and corresponding
decimal and hex characters. If you scan the Transmit Alternate Extended
ASCII code, any hex entries in a prefix or suffix will result in the corresponding
Keyboard Function output.
Example: Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII is enabled, and you scan Add
Suffix, then scan 9 9 8 9. All symbologies (99) would have a suffix
of a Page Down (hex 89) added to them.
When Transmit Normal Extended ASCII is selected, the normal extended
ASCII character is transmitted (see ASCII Conversion Chart on page A-3).
Example: Transmit Normal Extended ASCII is enabled, and you scan Add
Suffix, then scan 9 9 8 9. All symbologies (99) would have a suffix
of a ‰ character added to them.
Default = Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII.

Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the engine transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of
these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on
page 7-2. When the engine is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-
verted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the engine’s output. For exam-
ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used
only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send
Commands on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the engine. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.
* Default Data Format
Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-3).
Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an
alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page
5-17 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the engine for your terminal ID (you must enter 3
digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to
which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.
If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the excep-
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for
the Code I.D.
Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. For example,
50 characters is entered as 0050.
Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-4). Scan the symbols
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric
characters may be entered for each symbology data format.
Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving
your changes.

Miscellaneous Commands
Suppress characters
FB Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the
current cursor position, as the cursor is advanced by other commands.
When the FC command is encountered, the suppress function is
terminated. The cursor is not moved by the FB command.
Syntax = FBnnxxyy . .zz where nn is a count of the number of
suppressed characters in the list, and xxyy .. zz is the list of characters
to be suppressed.
FB Example: Remove spaces in bar code data
This example shows a bar code that has spaces in the data. You may
want to remove the spaces before sending the data. Using the bar

E4 Example: Replace zeroes with CRs in bar code data
If the bar code has characters that the host application does not want
included, you can use the E4 command to replace those characters
with something else. In this example, you will replace the zeroes in the
bar code above with carriage returns.
Command string: E402300DF10D
E4 is the “Replace characters” command
02 is the total count of characters to be replaced, plus the replacement
characters (0 is replaced by CR, so total characters = 2)
30 is the hex value for 0
0D is the hex value for a CR (the character that will replace the 0)

Compare characters
FE Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character
“xx.” If characters are equal, move the cursor forward one position.
Syntax = FExx where xx stands for the comparison character’s hex
value for its ASCII code.
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart, beginning on page A-3 for
decimal, hex and character codes.
Compare string
B2 Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.” If the strings
are equal, move the cursor forward past the end of the string. Syntax

Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting
from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands
for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only
be used with keyboard emulation.
Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code
FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with
the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-16) in order for the
B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page
5-16), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output
as usual.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format
Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 5-17), the engine emits an error
tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is
disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.
Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read, including prefixes and suffixes.
Data Formatter Off
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created
and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
transmitted. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.

an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.
Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements
generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone
When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data for-
mat, the engine normally generates an error tone. However, you may want
to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you scan
the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t
conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound.

Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatena-
tion, the engine looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character,
adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two mes-
sages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy, scan the follow-
ing Codabar Redundancy bar code, then scan a redundancy count
between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual. Then scan the Save bar code. Default = 0.

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions
that can be performed on a engine connected to your PC's COM port. EZCon-
fig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the engine's firmware, change
programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using
EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters for
a engine. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar
code to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with a engine, EZConfig-Scanning requires that the PC have
at least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using
a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS232 cable, an exter-
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a
USB cable is required.
EZConfig-Scanning Operations
The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data
in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the engine
and receive engine response that can be seen in the Scan Data win-
dow. The data displayed in the Scan Data window can either be saved
in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the
engine. The engine's programming and configuration data is grouped
into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item
8 - 2
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
under the “Configure” tree node in the application explorer. When one
of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the
parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The Configure
tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters
specified for a engine. You can set or modify these parameters as
required. You can later write the modified settings to the engine, or
save them to a dcf file.
Installing EZConfig-Scanning from the Web
Note: EZConfig-Scanning requires .NET framework. If .NET is not
installed on your PC, you will be prompted to install it during the
EZConfig-Scanning installation.

Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will pro-
gram the engine. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this
manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1). The following
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
[option]
{Data}
bold
An optional part of a command.
Alternatives in a command.
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
Tag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are
identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS232 baud rate is BAD.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s
operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table. A period (.)
performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatile menu
configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent
changes you want saved through a power cycle.
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^
What is the default value for the setting(s).
9 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
?
*
What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s
response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A
pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire
set of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the
Storage field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields
should not be used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to
the subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case,
the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to
the specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence.
Only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each com-
mand in the sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the
same Tag, then the new command sequence is separated with a comma (,)
and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional command are issued.
If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is
separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an
entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only
accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with
the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks
(the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.
Examples of Query Commands
In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable
response.

Example: What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena*.
Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of
values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable
(CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on.
Example: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter:
cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.
Serial Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the engine with serial trigger commands. The
button is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate: SYN T CR
Deactivate: SYN U CR

The engine scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate com-
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the engine’s external
trigger when using serial commands to trigger the engine. Once the
engine has timed out, you can activate the engine either by the external
trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-
Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then
scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Read Time-Out
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your engine, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory default settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings bar code below.
Standard Product Default Settings
The charts on the following pages list the factory default settings for each of the
commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These ser-
vices are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer
Support on page 11-1).
Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable operation:
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of dam-
age. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with engine
operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replace-
ment.
Troubleshooting
The engine automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If
your engine is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshoot-
ing Guide to try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the laser aimer on?
If the laser aimer isn’t illuminated, check that:
•
•
The cable is connected properly.
The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the engine having trouble reading your symbols?
If the engine isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
•
•
•
Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to
press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
•
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the engine
to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter
the data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page
4-1 for further information.
Does the engine read the bar code incorrectly?
10 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If the engine reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the
host screen:
•
The engine may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal
interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the engine with the correct Plug and Play bar code. See
Programming the Interface beginning on page 2-1.
•
The engine may not be programmed to output your bar code data
properly.
Reprogram the engine with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter
6.
The engine won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the engine
reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).
2. If the engine still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies
On, page 6-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the engine,
or if you want the factory default settings restored, refer to Setting Custom
Defaults on page 1-4.
