Chapter 1
Getting Started
The linear imager uses a 16-bit processor and enhanced image processing
algorithms to attain industry-leading speeds of 450 scans per second.
Depth of field performance allows scanning of a low resolution shipping
label at a distance of 1.5 meters. Even poor quality bar codes are readable
with this scanner. Bright environments such as direct sunlight or well-
lighted retail environments are not a problem; the linear imager provides
accurate scans in strong ambient light up to 75,000 LUX.
The unit is built to withstand tough industrial environments with a
durable rubber overmolding to protect all contact points and an IP52
protection rating. The linear imager is lightweight at 5.64 ounces (160
grams) and has an ergonomic comfort grip for ease of use.

Symbologies
Symbologies
In addition to standard linear bar code symbologies, the PDF model of
the linear imager also reads 2-Dimensional stacked bar code symbologies
such as PDF417, Micro PDF 417 and EAN UCC Composite.
For more information plus a complete listing of available symbology
types, turn to the Symbologies chapter of this manual.
Linear Imager Settings
The linear imager is factory programmed for the most common terminal
and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, pro-
gramming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
In the programming chapters, factory default settings are indicated with
bold text and yellow highlighting. These defaults represent the settings
for the RS-232 standard interface. For a listing of defaults for other
interfaces, reference Chapter D, Default Settings, in the section titled Inter-
face Default Exceptions.
Return to Factory Defaults
Scan the two bar codes below to reset the imager (handheld) and Base
Station to factory settings. These bar codes can be used to return the
imager to a “known” working state when the present programming sta-
tus is not known, faulty, or suspect.

Bluetooth Models
The following features and descriptions apply only to Bluetooth (BT)
models of the imager.
Linking an Imager with a Base
Station
Follow these instructions to link the two devices:
1. Connect power to the Base Station. The radio LED (marked with
an antenna symbol) will blink amber and the Base Station will
beep.
2. To ensure the Base Station is unlinked from any other imagers,
press the button located on its bottom side for three seconds.
3. Place the imager in the Base Station for one minute to get a small
charge in the battery.
4. Read the label on the Base Station with the imager. The imager
will sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber.
5. Replace the imager in the Base Station to continue the charge.
Once an imager is linked to a Base Station, they will remain linked until
specific action is taken to unlink them (see Unlinking). They will remain
linked if the Base Station is unplugged, if the battery is removed from
the imager or if the entire charge is used up, and if the imager is taken
out of range of the Base Station. Under normal operation, scanning of
the link label will only be required once in the life of the product.
Product Reference Guide

Bluetooth Models
Unlinking
There are three ways to unlink an imager from a Base Station:
Unlink and Sleep
1. Scan the “Unlink and Sleep” bar code — Reading the unlink bar code
above while the imager is in range of the Base Station will break
the link between the two devices and allow another imager to link
to the Base Station. It will also place the imager in Sleep Mode. If
the bar code is read when the imager is out of range of its linked
Base Station, the imager will unlink, but the Base Station will
remain linked to the imager and will not allow another imager to
be linked to it until the unlink button is pressed, the original
imager is brought in range, linked, and then unlinked again.
2. Push the button on the bottom of the Base Station — Pushing the but-
ton on the Base Station while the imager is in range will break the
link between the devices. If the button is pushed while the imager
is out of range, the Base Station will unlink and make itself avail-
able to other imagers. The imager will not automatically break its
link with the Base Station, but can be linked to any other Base Sta-
tion by reading its link label .
3. Scan the link label on an alternate Base Station — Scanning the link
label on a Base Station with an imager that is linked with another
Base Station will drop the link between the original pair and estab-
lish a link between the imager and the new Base Station. If the new
link is performed within range of the old Base Station, it is free to
establish a link to the next imager that reads its link label. If it is
done outside the range of the old Base Station, it retains its old link
and will not allow a new imager to link to it until its unlink button
is pressed.

Battery Charging
Battery Charging
The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A
fully charged battery will provide up to 12,000 scans over a 12 hour
period. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configuration
of the how the imager is configured via the programable features in this
manual; in particular, Deep Sleep Mode and Leash Alarm settings can
impact battery life.
When the imager is placed in the Base Station, the battery will automat-
ically charge. While charging is taking place, the charging LED (marked
with a battery symbol) will blink green. When the battery is fully
charged, the charging LED will stay on a solid green.
If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the charging circuit
or with a failure of the battery, the charging LED will flash red. When
this happens, the battery should be replaced
Paging the Imager
If the imager is misplaced in the area around the Base Station, it can be
located by momentarily pressing the button on the bottom of the Base
Station. When the button is momentarily pressed, a message is sent to
the imager instructing it to sound a series of six short beeps. If the imager
is out of range of the Base Station or in Deep Sleep Mode, paging will
not work.

Hardware Flow Control
Disable Hardware Control — The imager transmits to the host regardless of
any activity on the CTS line.
Enable CTS Flow Control — The CTS signal controls transmission of data
to the host.
Enable CTS Scan Control — The CTS line must be active for the imager to
read and transmit data. While the CTS line is inactive, the imager
remains in a host-disabled state; following a successful label transmis-
sion, the CTS signal must transition to inactive and then to active to
enable scanning for the next label.
Intercharacter Delay
This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted. If the trans-
mission speed is too high, the system may not be able to receive all char-
acters. You may need to adjust the delay to make the system work
properly.

Host Echo
When enabled, this feature passes all data through the imager to the host
as it comes in. This feature is used for applications where “daisy chain-
ing” of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for example,
one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is entering
data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requir-
ing transmission to the host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232 chan-
nel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set via RS-232 Host Echo
Quiet Interval). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before send-
ing its data in order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.
Host Echo Quiet Interval
This setting specifies the time interval of RS-232 channel inactivity
which must transpire before the imager will break the host echo loop to
transmit the bar code data that has just been scanned to the host.
Signal Voltage: Normal/TTL
Specifies whether the RS-232 interface provides TTL levels on the out-
put pins TxD and RTS.
RS-232 Invert
Enables/disables inversion of RS-232 TXD and RXD signals.

Data Editing
Data Editing Overview
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM
46xx or IBM interfaces.
CAUTION
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the
host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar
code data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message
string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific
user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent
before, after, and even between scanned data. You can specify if they
should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies.
Figure 5-1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:
Figure 5-1. Breakdown of a Message String
Code Length Transmission: A number of data
digits can be transmitted before the code data.
The total length of the bar code is the number
of characters of bar code data without truncated
leading or ending digits.
Data Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4: Can be
variably inserted into positions within the
bar code data itself. One ASCII character
per Data Group, with character
selectable from 00 (none) to 63.

scanned bar code's symbology (from among any of the symbologies
readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name
(symbology) will be transmitted before the bar code data.

Data Editing
Please Keep In Mind...
•
Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data
editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable out-
put for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is
typically set to NONE.
•
A prefix or suffix may be applied to one symbology (reference the
Symbologies chapter for these settings) or across all symbologies
(set via the features in this chapter).
•
•
•
You can add any prefix or suffix from Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart, plus Code I.D/AIM I.D.
Several entries for several symbologies can be strung together at
one time.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to
appear on the output.
Prefix/Suffix
Up to 22 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before
the bar code data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code
data) as indicated in Figure 5-2.

Symbology, I.D. and Code Length
Useful information, such as the scanned bar code’s symbology type, code
I.D. and character length can all be variously added to the message
string. The following are descriptions for each of these elements:
Symbology — This function is used to identify and display the
scanned bar code's symbology name (from among any of the symbolo-
gies readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology)
will be transmitted in a position before the bar code data.
Code I.D. — The Code I.D. is an alpha-numeric code representing the
bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to and/or fol-
lowing the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this feature is
enabled.
An extra step is required in enabling this feature. Selec-
tion of Code I.D. Positon (either before or after bar code
data) must be made PRIOR to selecting either Propri-
etary or AIM I.D.
NOTE
In addition to message string positioning (before or after bar code data),
options for this feature include:
•
•
Disable
Proprietary I.D. — Symbologies are identified by an associated
alpha-numeric code developed by the manufacturer.
•
AIM I.D. — Symbologies are identified by a standardized alpha-
numeric code list established by AIM (Association for Automatic
Identification and Mobility).
Code Length — When enabled, this feature will calculate the total
character length of the scanned bar code (minus truncated leading or
ending digits) and transmit this information just previous to the actual
scanned data.

Data Group Characters
Options are available to insert characters in up to four positions between
the scanned bar code data. This is accomplished by selecting the position
and up to 22 ASCII characters for each for Data Group 1, Data Group
2, Data Group 3 and Data Group 4 settings.
The options in this chapter set Data Group Characters
globally for all symbologies. If you wish to enable this
feature only for a single symbology, turn to the options
for that symbology in the Symbologies chapter.
NOTE
Example: Setting Position and Characters for Data Group 1
In this example, we’ll set a positon and select two characters for Data
Group 1.
Select Data Group 1 Position
1. Determine which position in the bar code data you wish to insert
character(s). In this example, we’ll select a position three characters
from the left within the bar code data.
Make sure the insertion position you select is not
greater than the total number of bar code characters
scanned; otherwise, the Data Group character(s) will
not be inserted.
NOTE
2. Scan the START bar code.
3. Scan the SET DATA GROUP 1 POSITION bar code.
4. In this step, we select the three-spaces-from-the-left position in
which to place the characters we’ll select later. Scan first the 0
(zero) bar code, then the 3 bar code from the numeric digit bar
codes provided in Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
Select Data Group 1 Character(s)
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) is/are to be added to scanned
bar code data. In this example, we’ll add two characters: + (the plus
sign) and # (the pound, or number sign).

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted UPC-A bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the UPC-A Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the UPC-A symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart, to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “A” to represent
UPC-A. The value from the table corresponding to ‘A’ is 41. This
value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET UPC-A CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘1’ (the value 41 determined in an earlier step to represent a
Code I.D. of ‘A’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters using the Data
Group Characters feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose
to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a UPC-A bar code is
scanned.
The options in this section set Data Group Characters
for the UPC-A symbology ONLY. If you wish to enable
this feature for additional symbologies, turn to the
options in the section specific to the other symbol-
ogy(s).
NOTE
To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the SET UPC-A DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever a UPC-A bar code was scanned. Scanning dig-
its 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select no
Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted UPC-E bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the UPC-E Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the UPC-E symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart, to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “E” to represent
UPC-E. The value from the table corresponding to ‘E’ is 45. This
value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET UPC-E CODE I.D. bar code.

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters using the Data
Group Characters feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose
to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a UPC-E bar code is
scanned.
The options in this section set Data Group Characters
for the UPC-E symbology ONLY. If you wish to enable
this feature for additional symbologies, turn to the
options in the section specific to the other symbol-
ogy(s).
NOTE
To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the SET UPC-E DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever a UPC-E bar code was scanned. Scanning dig-
its 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select no
Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

Code I.D. Selection
The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable
ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted RSS-14 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.
Example: Setting the RSS-14 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the RSS-14 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “R4” to represent
RSS-14. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’R’ is 52 and
the value for ‘4’ is 34. These values will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET RSS-14 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘5’
and ‘2’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘R’).
Then scan the bar codes ‘3’ and ‘4’ (hex equivalent for ‘4’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters using the Data
Group Characters feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose
to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever an RSS-14 bar code is
scanned.
The options in this section set Data Group Characters
for the RSS-14 symbology ONLY. If you wish to enable
this feature for additional symbologies, turn to the
options in the section specific to the other symbol-
ogy(s).
NOTE
To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the SET RSS-14 DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever an RSS-14 bar code was scanned. Scanning
digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select
no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

Full ASCII code. Each Full ASCII Code 39 character is a combination of
one of the characters +,%, $ and / with an uppercase alphabetical charac-
ter (A to Z).
Append
This function allows several symbols to be concatenated and be treated
as a single entry. The imager will not transmit the embedded appending
code (for Code-39, a space). If the append function is enabled and other
symbols are read again with the appended code, then the codes are trans-
mitted without the code ID, preamble, or prefix. When a symbol was
decoded without the appended code, the data is transmitted without the
code ID and prefix, but the postamble suffix codes are appended. This
function is used when the first character of Code 39 data is a space.
Start/End Transmission
The start and end characters of Code 39 are asterisks (*). You can trans-
mit all data digits, including the two asterisks.

Code I.D. Selection
The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable
ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted Pharmacode 39 bar code data depending on how this feature is
enabled.
Example: Setting the Pharmacode 39 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the Pharmacode 39 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Con-
version Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen
character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “A” to repre-
sent Pharmacode 39. The value from the table corresponding to
‘’A’ is 41. This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET PHARMACODE 39 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘1’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘A’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

TERS bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever a Pharmacode 39 bar code was scanned. Scan-
ning digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To
select no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

Minimum/Maximum Code Length
Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code
length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as
the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the
minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code
length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum
code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect.
Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater
than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the
labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set
the same value for both minimum and maximum length
to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

Minimum/Maximum Code Length
Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code
length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as
the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the
minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code
length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum
code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect.
Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater
than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the
labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set
the same value for both minimum and maximum length
to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

mitted Matrix 2 of 5 bar code data depending on how this feature is
enabled.
Example: Setting the Matrix 2 of 5 Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the Matrix 2 of 5 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conver-
sion Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen
character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “B” to repre-
sent Matrix 2 of 5. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’B’
is 42. This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET MATRIX 2 OF 5 CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘2’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘B’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-

ogy(s).
NOTE
To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the SET MATRIX 2 OF 5 DATA GROUP CHARACTERS
bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever a Matrix 2 of 5 bar code was scanned. Scanning
digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select
no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

Minimum/Maximum Code Length
Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code
length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as
the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the
minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code
length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum
code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect..
Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater
than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the
labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set
the same value for both minimum and maximum length
to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

Code I.D. Selection
The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable
ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted MSI/Plessey bar code data depending on how this feature is
enabled.
Example: Setting the MSI/Plessey Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the MSI/Plessey symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conver-
sion Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen
character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “@” to repre-
sent MSI/Plessey. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’@’ is
40. This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET MSI/PLESSEY CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘0’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘@’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

Code I.D. Selection
The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable
ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-
mitted Code 16K bar code data depending on how this feature is
enabled.
Example: Setting the Code 16K Code I.D.
To configure this feature:
1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent
the Code 16K symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion
Chart to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-
ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “C” to represent
Code 16K. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’C’ is 43.
This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET Code 16K CODE I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘3’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘C’).
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
NOTE
7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters using the Data
Group Characters feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose
to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Code 16K bar code is
scanned.
The options in this section set Data Group Characters
for the Code 16K symbology ONLY. If you wish to enable
this feature for additional symbologies, turn to the
options in the section specific to the other symbol-
ogy(s).
NOTE
To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the SET CODE 16KDATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar
code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever a Code 16K bar code was scanned. Scanning
digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select
no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

Minimum/Maximum Code Length
Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code
length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as
the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the
minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code
length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum
code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect.
Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater
than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the
labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set
the same value for both minimum and maximum length
to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

Code 4/5. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’N’ is 4E, .
This value will be used in a step to follow.
2. Scan the START bar code
3. Scan the SET Code 4/5 I.D. bar code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’
and ‘E’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘N’),
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Turn to the Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-
TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.
Features configured using the Data Editing chapter are
universal and will affect all symbologies.
NOTE
7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
8. The resulting message string for scanned Code 4/5 labels would
appear as follows:
Scanned bar code data:0123456789123
Resulting message string output:N0123456789123

Code 4/5 Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters using the Data
Group Characters feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose
to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Code 4 or Code 5 bar
code is scanned.
The options in this section set Data Group Characters
for Code 4/Code symbologies ONLY. If you wish to
enable this feature for additional symbologies, turn to
the options in the section specific to the other symbol-
ogy(s).
NOTE
To set this feature:
1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select
up to two from the following:
Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4
For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data
Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.
2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming
Mode.
3. Scan the SET CODE 4/5DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar
code.
4. Turn to Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-
senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step
above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,
scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data
Group 3 whenever Code 4 or Code 5 bar code was scanned. Scan-
ning digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To
select no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.
5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.
6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters
within scanned data output.

Bluetooth Features
Features in this section are applicable only to Bluetooth (BT) models.
The Bluetooth model includes an imager and Base Station. When the
imager and Base Station are linked together, the imager will read and
decode bar codes and transmit them via a Bluetooth radio to the Base
Station. The Base Station will then transmit the bar code data to the
POS host system over the host cable. The host interfaces available from
the Base Station are the same set as the corded version of the product.
Auto Update
When this feature is enabled, an imager and its linked Base Station can automatically
ensure they stay in sync with regard to application hardware and/or configuration.
This is accomplished by the linked imager and Base Station comparing application
version number and configuration file check sum. If either is different, the Base Sta-
tion will automatically update the imager with its application/configuration.
If the units are linked, any changes made to the Base Station configuration through
the scan utility software will automatically be sent to the imager at the completion of
the programming session. By the same token, any changes made to the linked
imager’s configuration will be transmitted to the Base Station at the end of the pro-
gramming session.
The following options are available for Auto Update:
•
•
•
•
Auto update enable — Allows both application and configuration
updating.
Configure auto update enable — Allows only configuration updat-
ing.
Application auto update enable — Allows only application updat-
ing
Auto update disable — No automatic updates will be performed.

Leash Alarm
When enabled, the Leash Alarm will force the imager to sound an alarm
for a preprogrammed length of time to notify if an imager is leaving the
immediate vicinity of the Base Station. This is especially useful in
instances where the imager might inadvertently have been placed in a
bag or cart.
For this mode to be effective, Deep Sleep Mode must be disabled. If the
imager is asleep, there is no way for it to know where it is relative to the
Base Station because communication is not active between the devices.

Bluetooth Features
Bluetooth Connectivity Mode
The feature allows the imager to be linked to any Bluetooth (BT)
enabled device which can accept such a connection with other devices.
To implement this mode, follow these instructions:
1. Place the imager in Programming Mode by scanning the START
bar code.
2. Scan the “Connect to a BT Device” bar code to put the imager in
the mode enabling a link to a device other than its own Base Sta-
tion.
3. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
4. Scan the “Begin Pin” bar code.
5. Set the four- to six-character PIN code assigned to the target Blue-
tooth device using the bar codes available in Appendix B, Alpha-
Numeric Pad.
6. Scan the “End Pin” bar code.
7. Use the software that drives the other BT device to scan for devices
in the area. The QS6500BT imager will be displayed as "Data-
1
logic handheld scanner." Each BT device uses different methods
to link, so you’ll need to follow the instructions for the device
being connected to.
The Serial Peripheral Protocol is the only inter-
face supported.
NOTE
1. Depending upon when your scanner was purchased, the display might read “PSC hand-
held scanner.”
