    RS-232 Handshaking RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the image scan- ner using software commands from the host device. CTS/RTS operates in mode 2. When this feature is turned Off, no data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the image scanner.
  • Page 48 Escape commands are addressed to the image scanner via “Application Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all image scanners in a group respond to that command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each image scanner is assigned to its own group in Host ACK mode. The commands to which the image scanner responds are listed on page 2-20.

    Scan Stand Mode When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol, below. When a different code is presented, the image scanner is triggered to read the new code. Note: The image scanner automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol.

    If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 4-12), the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level. Note: If you scan the Off bar code, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan bar codes in low light.

  • Page 90: Aimer Delay

    Aimer Delay The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the image scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is pulled and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over.

  • Page 91: Centering

    Centering Use Centering to narrow the image scanner’s field of view to make sure the image scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.

    OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default set- ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).

    SEMI Font SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI Font On All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the image scanner, so the image scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts.

  • Page 191: Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating "Or" Statements)

    Character Match Sequences This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the required position (template characters are always lower case). Example: You need to read three variable digits, three specific characters (ABC), followed by three variable digits.

  • Page 192: Ocr User-Defined Variables

    To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement.

  • Page 193: Reading Multi-Row Ocr

    Reading Multi-Row OCR The image scanner is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text. Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended. Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they would be entered using QuickView. Example: You need to read multiple rows of OCR-A data as shown below: 12345678 ABCDEFGH First, enable the OCR-A font.

  • Page 195 for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the image scanner also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes. Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the following 11 characters in order: 0123456789X Also enter the OCR template: dddddddc...

  • Page 196: Weighting Options

    Weighting Options By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator keys in data.

To apply this weighting scheme, set the OCR check character to "0123456789x2x1" or scan the following symbol: 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character Example: Scan the 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also enter the OCR template: ddddddc Then scan the string below:...
