4 1 Parameter Support Socket s bar code scanners use different scanning engines, which have different scanning capabilities. As a result some of Socket s bar code scanners are able to support more parameters, including symbologies, than other products. Please refer to Table A to determine which scanning engine your product uses (this guide will refer to Engine Types A-D), then refer to Table B on the next page to determine if your scanning engine type supports the symbologies you want. Afterwards, turn to Chapter 2 or Chapter 3 to obtain the necessary bar codes and/or serial commands for programming the symbology parameters.

6 2 Parameters for Engine Types A, B, C and the Gun Scanner This chapter provides the programmable parameters, programming bar codes, and serial commands for the Socket bar codes scanners equipped with the SE-923, CSE-600, SD-824 scanning engines (Types A, B, and C) or the Gun Scanner (equipped with the S-2208 laser scanning gun). Please refer to the tables in Chapter 1 to determine which scanning engine your product uses, and which parameters/symbologies it supports.. There are two general methods for programming symbology parameters. However, please note that not all scanning engines support both methods. Scanning Engine Types A and C (SE-923 and SE-824): Can be programmed with either programming bar codes or serial commands. Scanning Engine Type B (CSE-600): Can be programmed only with serial commands Gun Scanner (S-2208): Can be programmed only with programming bar codes. To program using programming bar codes, scan the appropriate bar codes included in this chapter. The new value permanently replaces the existing memory value. To program via serial commands, send the parameter through the scan engine s serial port using the SSI command PARAM_SEND. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options appear in parentheses beneath the accompanying bar codes. If you would like to program symbology settings for the 2D Scan Card (Scanning Engine Type D), please refer to Chapter 3. Note for the SDSC: Socket has created an SDSC Configuration Utility (ScanParams.exe) that makes it easy for Pocket PC users to send serial commands to the SDSC.

10 Setting Code Lengths via Serial Commands While the length (number of characters/digits) of some bar codes is fixed (e.g., UPC, EAN, JAN), most symbologies allow you to configure among various options for bar code length. Depending on the option you choose, your scanner will be able to decode one of the following: e discrete length bar code Two discrete length bar codes Bar codes within a range of lengths within the scan engine capability Any length of bar codes within the scan engine capability There are two lengths (L1 and L2) for each variable length code type. Please refer to the individual code types in the following pages for the L1 and L2 parameter numbers for specific symbologies. Setting Variable Code Lengths Code length option Length 1 value Length 2 value e discrete length will be decoded Discrete length to decode 0x00 Two discrete lengths will be decoded Higher length value Lower length value Lengths within a range will be decoded within the scanner capability Any length bar code will be decoded within the scanner capability Lower length value 0x00 Higher length value 0x00 Note for Engine Type B: Socket has created a Configuration Utility (ScanParams.exe) that makes it easy for Pocket PC and Palm users to send serial commands to products using the Type B scanning engine Download the utility from Socket s website at: 10

11 Laser Time Parameter # 0x88 This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. To set a Laser Time, scan the bar code below. Next scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 77 that correspond to the desired on time. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example, to set an on time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 79. Laser Time (Default: 3.0 sec.)

12 Scan Angle Parameter # 0xBF This parameter sets the scan angle to narrow or wide. Narrow Angle (0x05) *Wide Angle (0x06)

13 s Transmit Code ID Character Parameter # 0x2D A code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This can be useful when decoding more than one code type. The code ID character is inserted between the prefix character (if selected) and the decoded symbol. Select no code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character. The Symbol Code ID characters are listed below. A = UPC-A, UPC-E, UPC-E1, EAN-8, EAN-13 B = Code 39, Code 32 C = Codabar D = Code 128, ISBT 128 E = Code 93 F = Interleaved 2 of 5 G = Discrete 2 of 5 J = MSI K = UCC/EAN-128 L = Bookland EAN M = Trioptic Code 39 N = Coupon Code R = RSS-14, RSS-Limited, RSS-Expanded 13

21 Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals Parameter # 0x10 Supplementals are appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2). Several options are available: If Decode UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, the scanner does not decode UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental characters. If Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, and the SE 824 is presented with a UPC/EAN symbol with a supplemental, the scanner decodes the UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters. If Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals is selected, scan Decode UPC/ EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 23, then select a value from the numeric bar codes beginning on page 77. A value of 5 or more is recommended. Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to enable the SE 824 to identify supplementals for EAN-13 bar codes starting with a 378 or 379 prefix only. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immediately and the supplemental characters ignored.

31 Convert UPC-E1 to UPC-A Parameter # 0x26 Enable this parameter to convert UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Scan DO NOT CONVERT UPC-E TO UPC-A to transmit UPC-E1 (zero suppressed) decoded data. Convert UPC-E1 to UPC-A (Enable) (0x01) *Do Not Convert UPC-E1 to UPC-A (Disable) (0x00) 31

32 EAN Zero Extend Parameter # 0x27 When enabled, this parameter adds five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols. Disable this parameter to transmit EAN-8 symbols as is. Enable EAN Zero Extend (0x01) *Disable EAN Zero Extend (0x00) 32

33 Convert EAN-8 to EAN-13 Type Parameter # 0xE0 When EAN Zero Extend is enabled, you can label the extended symbol as either an EAN-13 bar code, or an EAN-8 bar code. When EAN Zero Extend is disabled, this parameter has no effect on bar code data. *Type Is EAN-13 (0x00) Type Is EAN-8 (0x01) 33

34 UPC/EAN Security Level Parameter # 0x4D The SE 824 offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. Select higher levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. Increasing security decreases the scanner s aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for the application. UPC/EAN Security Level 0 This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most in-spec UPC/EAN bar codes. *UPC/EAN Security Level 0 (0x00) UPC/EAN Security Level 1 As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to mis-decodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes occur, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level. UPC/EAN Security Level 1 (0x01) 34

35 UPC/EAN Security Level 2 If mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes occur, and the mis-decodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level. UPC/EAN Security Level 2 (0x02) UPC/EAN Security Level 3 If misdecodes still occur after selecting Security Level 2, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes. UPC/EAN Security Level 3 (0x03) 35

80 3 Parameters for 2D Scan Card This chapter provides the serial commands required to set symbology settings for the Socket 2D Scan Card. Refer to the chart in the following pages to determine the correct serial command. The Socket 2D Scan Card supports all of the symbologies listed in this chapter. Using the Socket 2DSC Utility (ISC-I Demo) Serial commands can be sent to the 2D Scan Card by using the Socket 2DSC Utility (also known as the Socket ISC-I Demo) located in the Programs screen. After inserting the 2D Scan Card into your Pocket PC, open the utility by tapping Start Programs. Tap on the icon for the Socket utility. In the utility, tap Tools Send Command. Check the box Send Unwrapped Command and enter the desired command. Refer to the serial programming commands provided in charts later in this chapter. For example, you could enter 232BADnn where nn is 9,10, 11, or 12 for 115K, 230K, 460K or 921K to enter the baud rate. Note: You must check Send Unwrapped Command to send raw serial data to the image engine. Otherwise, you can uncheck the box and enter a standard HHP command. Tap Send to send the command to the image engine. If the edit box is empty when you tap ok, no data is sent to the port. The results of the Send Command, if any is displayed in the Text View edit window. Serial Programming Commands 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] An optional part of a command. {Data} Alternatives in a command. Bold 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 SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings are identified with a Tag of 232. A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the RS-232 baud rate is BDR. 80

81 Data Storage The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-Tag. 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 nonvolatile 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).? 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. ly the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command 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 ENQ NAK Indicates a good command which has been processed. Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command. 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. 81

82 Examples of Query Commands In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response. Example #1: 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 #2: 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 #3: 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. 82

88 Appendix A UCC/EAN-128 UCC/EAN-128 is a convention for printing data fields with standard Code 128 bar code symbols. UCC/EAN-128 symbols are distinguished by a leading FNC 1 character as the first or second character in the symbol. Other FNC 1 characters are used to delineate fields. When EAN-128 symbols are read, they are transmitted after special formatting strips off the leading FNC 1 character and replace other FNC 1 characters with the ASCII 29 (GS) control character. Standard Code 128 bar codes which do not have a leading FNC 1 may still be used, but are not encoded according to the EAN-128 convention. Standard Code 128 and UCC/EAN-128 may be mixed in application. All of Socket s bar code scanning products autodiscriminate between these symbols, and can enable or disable one or both code types. The table below indicates the behavior of these scanners in each of the four possible parameter settings. Reading Standard Code 128 & UCC/EAN 128 Standard Code 128 UCC/EAN-128 Effect and Example Disable Disable No Code 128 symbols can be read Disable Enable Read only symbols with leading FNC 1.

89 Appendix B Using the Scan Params WinCE Utility You can use Scan Params to effectively modify the settings in your SD Scan Card, CF Scan Card, Cordless Hand Scanner or CF RFID Reader-Scan Card via the symbology parameters and requisite data on pages Note: Parameters 0x36 and 0x37, for enabling/disabling CLSI and NOTIS editing respectively, do not work with the SD Scan Card or the Cordless Hand Scanner. Get Data and Set Data The two main functions of the Scan Params utility are Get Data and Set Data. As their names imply Get Data retrieves the current state of a particular parameter and Set Data will set it. 00 represents false and 01 represents true. Below the Parameter and Data fields is the message box which will display the results of the Get Data and Send Data functions. Persistence The Persistent check box enables you to ensure that your modifications will persist beyond a power loss. Checking the box causes Scan Params to write the parameter data into the flash memory on that card thereby preventing the setting from reverting to the previous value when power is lost. Connecting the CHS To connect the Cordless Hand Scanner ensure that your Bluetooth device is active and ready to make a connection. Then start the Scan Params utility and tap the CHS menu then tap Connect CHS. You can disconnect the CHS by returning to the CHS menu and tapping Disconnect CHS. Note: Leaving the Scan Params utility will disconnect the CHS. 89
