Block Diagram

The MiniScan block diagram illustrates the functional relationship of the MiniScan components. Following is a detailed description of each component in the block diagram.

Figure 1-2 MiniScan Block Diagram

Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions

Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code. Black bars absorb light, white spaces reflect light. The scan engine collects the reflected light and processes the signal through several analog filters. The filtered signal is digitized into a Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). The decoder micro-controller analyzes timing information to decode and transmit the data contained in the bar code.

Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the intended host. It also contains a beeper and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and external beeper.

The interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse, USB, or TTL level RS-232. A separate host adapter cable (p/n 25-62186-xx) converts the TTL level RS-232 output to standard RS-232 levels. All interface types are auto-detected based on the host cable attached.

DB9 - The DB9 connector provides a sealed outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan scanner and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS1220 MiniScan host cables.

3.On the host, open a word processing program such as Microsoft Word.

4.Present a bar code to the scanner. A beep indicates a decode, and the data appears on the host screen.

Location and Positioning

CAUTION The location and positioning guidelines provided do not consider unique application characteristics. Motorola recommends that an opto-mechanical engineer perform an opto-mechanical analysis prior to integration.

NOTE Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product???s specification, where the scanner will not exceed its temperature range. For instance, do not mount the scanner onto or next to a large heat source. When placing the scanner with another device, ensure there is proper convection or venting for heat. Follow these suggestions to ensure product longevity, warranty, and overall satisfaction with the scanner.

Using the MiniScan as an Embedded Scanner

You can mount the MiniScan read symbols that are automatically presented, or that are presented in a pre-determined location. In these applications, MinScan positioning with respect to the symbol is critical. Failure to properly position the MiniScan can result in unsatisfactory scanning performance. A thermal analysis is also recommended.

Two methods of positioning the scanner are provided:

???Use the Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 with consistently good quality symbols. This provides a mathematical solution to find the usable scan length.

???The Testing the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-9 uses real situation testing to adjust the usable scan length to fit the application conditions.

2 - 8 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method

Calculate usable scan length as follows (see Figure 2-8 on page 2-8):

L = 1.8 x (D+d+B) x Tan (A/2)

Table 2-1 Calculation Constants

D = Distance (in inches) from the front edge of the host housing to the bar code.

d = The host housing???s internal optical path from the edge of the housing to the front of the MiniScan scanner. B = Internal optical path from the scan mirror to the front edge of the MiniScan scanner.

A = Scan angle in degrees.

NOTE Usable scan length determined by this formula, or 90% of scan line at any working distance. This formula is based on good quality symbols in the center of the working range and length of bar code.

Figure 2-8 Usable Scan Length Diagram

Installation 2 - 9

Testing the Usable Scan Length Method

Due to the variety of symbol sizes, densities, print quality, etc., there is no simple way to calculate the ideal symbol distance. To optimize performance, use the Testing The Usable Scan Length positioning method:

1.Measure the maximum and minimum distances at which the symbols can be read.

2.Check the near and far range on several symbols. If they are not reasonably consistent there may be a printing quality problem that can degrade the performance of the system. Motorola can provide advice on how to improve the installation.

NOTE Poor quality symbols (from bad printing, wear, or damage) may not decode well when placed in the center of the depth of field (especially higher density codes). The scan beam has a minimum width in the central area, and when the scanner tries to read all symbol imperfections in this area it may not decode. After a preliminary spot is determined using good quality symbols, test several reduced quality symbols and adjust the spot for the best overall symbol position.

3.Locate the scanner so the symbol is near the middle of the near/far range.

4.Center the symbol (left to right) in the scan line whenever possible.

5.Position the symbol so that the scan line is as near as possible to perpendicular to the bars and spaces in the symbol.

6.Avoid specular reflection (glare) off the symbol by tilting the top or bottom of the symbol away from the scanner. The exact angle is not critical, but it must be large enough so that if a mirror were inserted in the symbol location, the reflected scan line would miss the front surface of the scanner. For the maximum allowable angles refer to the Skew, Pitch and Roll angles listed in each MiniScan Technical Specifications table.

7.If placing an additional window between the scanner and the symbol, determine the optimum symbol location using a representative window in the desired window position.

8.Give the scanner time to dwell on the symbol for several scans. When first enabled, the MiniScan may take two or three scans before it reaches maximum performance. Enable the MiniScan before presenting the symbol, if possible.

2 - 10 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Conveyor Applications

Conveyor applications require setting the conveyor velocity to optimize the scanner???s ability to read symbols. Also consider the orientation of the symbol with respect to the conveyor direction. Figure 2-9 on page 2-10 illustrates the relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol positioned perpendicular to the conveyor direction and Figure 2-10 on page 2-11 illustrates the relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol positioned parallel to the conveyor direction.

Symbol is Perpendicular to Conveyor Movement

With the symbol bars perpendicular to the conveyor belt direction (Picket Fence presentation) the relationship is:

V = (R x (F-W)) / N

where:

V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second)

R = Scan Rate (see technical specifications)

F = 80% of width of scan beam

W = Symbol Width (inches)

N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans)

F=Field Width

W=Symbol Width

Figure 2-9 Symbol Perpendicular To Conveyor Movement

Example

R = 640 scans per second F = 80% of 6 in.

W = 4 in. N = 10

V = (640 x ((0.8 x 6) - 4))) / 10 = 51.2 in./sec

Installation 2 - 11

Symbol is Parallel to Conveyor Movement

With the symbol bars parallel to the conveyor belt direction (ladder presentation) the relationship is:

V = (R x H) / N

where:

V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second)

R = Scan Rate of scanner (see technical specifications)

H = Symbol height

N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans)

Scan Beam

Figure 2-10 Symbol Parallel To Conveyor Movement

Example

Use the previous formula to calculate the number of scans for a specific bar code, scanner, and conveyor speed; a minimum of 10 scans per symbol is recommended.

R = 640 scans/sec

H = 60 mil

N = 10 scans

V = (640 x .060) / 10 = 3.84 in./sec

Embedded Applications Requiring a Window

Use the following guidelines for applications that require a window in front of the MiniScan.

NOTE Motorola does not recommend placing an exit window in front of the MiniScan; however, the following information is provided for applications that require such a window.

Window Material

Many window materials that look perfectly clear can contain stresses and distortions that can reduce scanner performance. For this reason, Motorola highly recommends only optical glass or cell-cast acrylic with an anti-reflection coating. Following is a description of acrylic, and CR-39, another popular window material. Table 2-2 on page 2-13 outlines the suggested window properties.

CAUTION Consult an opto-mechanical engineer to recommend an appropriate window material and to determine if coatings are appropriate for the specific application.

NOTE Do not use polycarbonate material.

Acrylic

When fabricated by cell-casting, acrylic has very good optical quality and low initial cost. However, protect the surface from the environment as acrylic is susceptible to attack by chemicals, mechanical stresses, and UV light. Acrylic has reasonably good impact resistance and can be ultrasonically welded.

CR-39

CR-39 is a thermal-setting plastic produced by the cell-casting process, and is commonly used in plastic eye glasses lenses. CR-39 has excellent chemical and environmental resistance, including good surface hardness. Typically it does not require hard-coating, but can be hard coated for severe environments. CR-39 has reasonably good impact resistance and cannot be ultrasonically welded.

Chemically Tempered Float Glass

Glass is a hard material which provides excellent scratch and abrasion resistance. However, unannealed glass is brittle. Increasing flexibility strength with minimal optical distortion requires chemical tempering. Glass cannot be ultrasonically welded and is difficult to cut into odd shapes.

Installation 2 - 13

Table 2-2 Suggested Window Properties

Window Coatings

Table 2-3 on page 2-14 lists some exit window manufacturers and anti-reflection coaters.

Anti-Reflection Coatings

Apply an anti-reflection coating to the inside and/or outside of the window to significantly reduce the amount of light reflected off the window, back into the scan engine. The coating can also improve the range of acceptable window positions and minimize performance degradation due to signal loss as the light passes through the window. Using anti-reflection coatings on both the inside and outside of the window is highly recommended.

Polysiloxane Coating

Polysiloxane type coatings are applied to plastic surfaces to improve the surface resistance to both scratch and abrasion. They are usually applied by dipping, then air-drying in an oven with filtered hot air.

2 - 14 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Table 2-3 Window Manufacturers and Coaters

Embedded Window Angle and Position

If a window is placed between the MiniScan and the item to scan, observe the following guidelines:

???Window Clear Opening - Make the clear opening of the window large enough so that the entire scan beam passes through the window. Cutting off any part of the beam can result in internal reflections and degrade decode range performance. Ensure that window placement relative to the MiniScan accounts for tolerances on all parts involved in that assembly.

???Window Angle - Angle the window at least 2o more than the tilt of the window on the scanner (see Table 2-4). Further tilting the window is acceptable and decreases the possibility of a secondary reflection from that window degrading the scanner's performance.

???Optical Working Range - Adding a window can reduce the working range of the scanner since there is a signal loss when passing through window material. To minimize this reduction, use a special coating described in Window Coatings on page 2-13. To understand the difference, test the scanner in the desired orientation and see if the difference affects scanner performance.

Application Notes

TTL RS-232

Standard RS-232 voltage levels typically range between +12V and -12V to ensure adequate noise rejection over long distances. Devices which support TTL level RS-232 signaling typically drive signals between 0V and +5V. Extensive testing has shown that TTL levels are interpreted correctly by the majority of standard RS-232 hosts over cable distances of six feet or less, even in extreme conditions.

Multi-interface Miniscan products fall into the TTL RS-232 device category. All standard RS-232 cables available from Motorola for the Miniscan family measure six feet or less, and should not present a problem. If a particular host does not support TTL levels, a separate conversion cable is available (25-62186-xx) which contains electronics to adapt the TTL levels of a multi-interface Miniscan into standard RS-232 levels.

USB Warning - Potential Host Side Issues

The Universal Serial Bus provides a smart plug-and-play interface for easy integration. In USB communication, the root hub located on the host controls all traffic. USB hosts in general react poorly in certain harsh environments compared to traditional host interfaces such as RS-232. These environments include areas with high ESD levels or situations in which the system is subject to Electrical Fast Transients (EFT).

Typical symptoms of these environments are:

???Frequent scanner resets

???Scanner occasionally loses power (due to host initiated shutdown)

???Occasional host lockups.

Because multi-interface Miniscan products are often exposed to these environments due to the nature of scanner placement, they have been safeguarded as much as possible to prevent physical damage. Despite design precautions, testing shows that some USB hosts cannot tolerate these environments. In this case, try placing a self-powered USB hub close to the host, between the scanner and host, as a buffer to the host against the harsh environment. This may not be a valid solution in all cases.

Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD Scan Patterns

The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD generate different scan patterns (Smart Raster and High Density Single Scan Line) based on the software command received at the interface. Use the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols.

NOTE The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD also support omnidirectional and semi-omnidirectional scan patterns, but are not optimized for these patterns.

Smart Raster Scan Pattern

The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly, providing optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, GS1 DataBar, and Composite codes.

Omnidirectional Scan Pattern

The high-speed rotating omnidirectional scan pattern provides aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because there are no ???holes??? in the pattern. This ensures fast throughput at the point of activity and the ability to read 1D symbols in 360o of rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.

Scan Angle Selection

The Symbol MS1207FZY scanner supports two scan angles (see Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for these angles). To set the scan angle, scan a parameter bar code (see Scan Angle on page 10-10). Once the parameter bar code is scanned, that scan angle setting is retained.

Operation in Blink Mode

The scan angle during Blink Mode is determined by the scan angle system parameter.

Scanning 3 - 5

Scanning Tips

When scanning, make sure the symbol is within the scanning range. See Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful decode.

Scan the Entire Symbol

???The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.

???The larger the symbol, the farther away the scanner should be positioned.

???Position the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

Position at an Angle

Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode.

Trigger Options

Continuous (Default)

The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. You can configure the scanner to scan and transmit a bar code, and then not decode the same bar code or any bar code for a set period of time. See Timeout Between Decodes on page 10-15 to customize the application to the rate at which bar codes are presented.

Continuous

NOTE This option is not recommended during scanner programming via bar code menus.

3 - 6 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

Level Trigger

Activating the trigger line enables the laser and begins decode processing. Decode processing continues until a good decode occurs, the trigger is released, or the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing completes. The next decode attempt does not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.

Level

Pulse Trigger

Activating the trigger line enables the laser and begins decode processing. Decode processing continues regardless of the trigger line until a good decode occurs, or until the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing completes. The next decode attempt does not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.

Pulse

Blink

NOTE Only the Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA support this option.

The laser blinks at a 25% duty cycle (reduced to 10% after 30 seconds of inactivity), until a bar code is presented. When a bar code is presented, the laser remains on until either the bar code is decoded or removed, or the session timeout expires. Once the bar code is decoded, the scanner does not decode it again until the bar code is removed.

Set Lengths for Code 39

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.

One Discrete Length - This option limits decodes to only Code 39 symbols containing a selected length. Select lengths using the Numeric Bar Codes on page 10-93. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

Enable/Disable Code 39 Full ASCII

To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate bar code below.

When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code to letters, punctuation marks, numerals, and most control keystrokes on the keyboard.

The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to keyboard control characters such as BACKSPACE and RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all but SPACE and DELETE produce visible characters.

Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and $H emulates the keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning ABC$M outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC ENTER.

Do not enable Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 simultaneously.

Macro PDF Features

NOTE Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support these options.

Transmit Symbols in Codeword Format

Enable this to transmit each PDF symbol as directly decoded data codewords, whether or not that symbol is part of a macro PDF sequence. Note that data is output as codeword values, not as interpreted data.

???Codeword values??? is an ASCII representation of a number from 000 to 928 for each codeword, preceded by an escape character. This escape character is a backslash by default, but you can change this value. For example, the codeword value 005 is sent to the host in the form of \005 for GLIs, and \C005C for ECIs. This output format is based on the AIM USA Uniform Symbology Specification for PDF417 (1994).

All output codewords are exactly 4 characters for GLIs and 6 characters for ECIs. However, there can be non-decodable characters in the PDF symbol, such as a GLI sequence. This special codeword sequence activates a certain kind of interpretation to the encoded data. Non-decodable codewords like GLIs are embedded in the output stream like any other codeword, e.g., \927\001.

Because GLIs are indistinguishable from other codewords in the output data stream, the host must recognize them as GLIs and process their interpretations.

Note that when a macro PDF sequence is transmitted, the last character in the last block of data transmitted is always \922 (if selected). This indicates the end of that macro PDF transmission.

Scan the appropriate bar code to enable or disable this.

Hardware Handshaking

The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).

Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available. Select Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence:

???The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any scanned data.

???When the CTS line is negated, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the scanner transmits the data. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.

???When data transmission is complete, the scanner negates RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.

???The host responds by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a negated CTS upon the next transmission of data.

During data transmission, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded.

If this communications sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.

If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.

RTS/CTS Option 1

When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.

RTS/CTS Option 1

RTS/CTS Option 2

When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

RTS/CTS Option 2

RTS/CTS Option 3

When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

None

When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately.

*None

ACK/NAK

When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.

ACK/NAK

ENQ

When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If the scanner does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, it issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.

???Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits ???129???). These options are described in

Criteria on page 13-11.

???Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 13-2.

???Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 13-8. This places the rule in the ???top??? position in the rule buffer.

???Erase criteria, actions, and entire rules by scanning the appropriate bar code on page 13-9.

ADF Bar Code Menu Example

This section provides an example of how to enter ADF rules for scan data.

An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes have the following format:

MMMMMPPPPPDD

The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID <CTRL M>, part number <CTRL P>, and destination code <CTRL D>. At this center the UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code.

The following rules must be entered:

When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key <CTRL M>, send the next 5 characters, send the part number key <CTRL P>, send the next 2 characters, send the destination code key <CTRL D>.

When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key <CTRL M>.

To enter these rules, see the following steps:

Advanced Data Formatting 13 - 3

Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule

Rule 2: The UPC Scanning Rule

To correct any errors made while entering this rule, scan the Quit Entering Rules bar code on page 13-9. If you already saved the rule, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 13-9.

Alternate Rule Sets

Group ADF rules into one of four alternate sets which you can turn on and off when needed. This is useful to format the same message in different ways. For example, a Code 128 bar code contains the following information:

Class (2 digits), Stock Number (8) digits, Price (5 digits)

The bar code might look like this:

245671243701500

where:

Class = 24

Stock Number = 56712437

Price = 01500

Ordinarily, data is sent as follows:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

01500 (enter key)

But, when there is a sale, send only the following:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

13 - 4 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide

and the cashier keys the price manually.

To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as:

Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.

The ???sale??? rule may look like this:

Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key.

To switch between the two sets of rules, program a ???switching rule??? to specify the type of bar code that must be scanned to switch between the rule sets. For example, in the case of the ???sale??? rule above, the rule programmer wants the cashier to scan the bar code ???M??? before a sale. To do this, enter the following rule:

When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with ???M???, select rule set number 1.

Program another rule to switch back.

When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with ???N???, turn off rule set number 1.

Or include the switching back to normal rules in the ???sale??? rule:

When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1.

For optimal results, scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 13-10 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.

In addition to enabling and disabling rule sets within the rules, enable or disable them by scanning the appropriate bar codes on page 13-10.

Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)

The order of programming individual rules is important.Program the most general rule first.

All programmed rules are stored in a buffer. As they are programmed, they are stored at the ???top??? of a rules list. If you created three rules, the list is configured as follows:

Third Rule

Second Rule

First Rule

When scanning data, the rules list is checked from top to bottom to determine if the criteria matches (and therefore, if the actions occur). Input is modified into the data format specified by the first matching set of criteria it finds. Be sure to program the most general rule first.

For example, if the THIRD rule states:

When scanning a bar code of any length, send all data, then send the ENTER key.

And the SECOND rule states:

When scanning a Code 128 bar code of length 12, send the first four characters, then send the ENTER key, then send all remaining data.

If you scan a Code 128 bar code of length 12, the THIRD rule would apply, and the SECOND rule would appear to not function.

Advanced Data Formatting 13 - 5

Note that the standard data editing functions also create ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 10-80.

These rules reside in the same ???rule list??? as ADF rules, so the order of their creation is also important.

Default Rules

Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable default rules enter the following general rule in the user programmable buffer:

When receiving scan data, send all data.

Since this rule always applies, ADF will never use the default rules.
