Chapter 4 Parameter Menus Introduction This chapter describes the programmable parameters, provides bar codes for programming, and hexadecimal equivalents for host parameter programming through SSI. Operational Parameters The MS916 is shipped with the factory default settings shown in Table 3-1 on page 26. These factory default values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scan engine is powered down. Changes to the factory default values can be stored as custom defaults.
Parameter Programming Recommendations When setting parameters via bar code or via SSI with the permanent flag set, the following conditions must be met: • The system must have stable power applied to the scanner. • • The engine and host must be operating and communicating with no interference. Power must be maintained for at least two seconds after sending the command or scanning the parameter bar code. If sending parameters upon every power up, ensure they are temporary.
Parameter Defaults Table 3-1 lists the factory defaults for all parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s). Table 3-1 Factory Default Table Parameter Parameter Number (Hex) Set Factory Default Factory Default Page Number All Defaults 29 Beeper Volume 0x8C Medium 30 Beeper Tone 0x91 Medium Frequency 30 Laser On Time 0x88 3.0 sec 31 Aim Duration 0xED 0.0 sec 32 Trigger Mode 0x8A Level 32 Time-out Between Same Symbol 0x89 1.

Set Default Parameter The MS916 can be reset to two types of defaults: factory defaults or custom defaults. Scan the appropriate bar code below to reset the MS916 to its default settings and/or set the scan engine’s current settings as the custom default. • • Restore Defaults - Scan this bar code to reset all default parameters as follows. • If custom defaults were set by scanning Write to Custom Defaults, scan Restore Defaults to retrieve and restore the scan engine’s custom default settings.
Beeper Volume Parameter # 0x8C To select a decode beep volume, scan the appropriate bar code. Beeper Tone Parameter # 0x91 To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the appropriate bar code.
Laser On 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 0.50 to 25.5 seconds. To set a Laser On 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.
Aim Duration Parameter # 0xED When a scan engine with an aim mode is triggered either by a trigger pull, or a START_DECODE command, this parameter sets the duration the aiming pattern is seen before a a scan attempt begins. It does not apply to the aim signal or the AIM_ON command. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. No aim pattern is visible when the value is 0.0. To set an aim duration, scan the bar code below.
• Continuous - The laser is always on and decoding. • Blink - This trigger mode is used for trigger less operation. Scanning range is reduced in this mode. This mode cannot be used with engines that support an aim mode. • Host - A host command issues the triggering signal. The scan engine interprets an actual trigger pull as a Level triggering option.
Time-out Between Same Symbol Parameter # 0x89 When in Continuous triggering mode, this parameter sets the minimum time that must elapse before the scan engine decodes a second bar code identical to one just decoded. This reduces the risk of accidently scanning the same symbol twice. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. To set a time-out between same symbol, scan the bar code below. Next scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 77 that correspond to the desired time-out.
Scan this symbol to set the scan engine not to beep after a good decode. The beeper still operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions. Parameter Scanning Parameter # 0xEC To disable decoding of parameter bar codes, scan the bar code below. The Set Defaults parameter bar code can still be decoded. To enable decoding of parameter bar codes, either scan Enable Parameter Scanning below, Set Factory Defaults on page 29 or set this parameter to 0x01 via a serial command.
L B<12 characters of data> Note that the special Code 128 character must appear at the beginning of this data. However, if the appropriate data does not follow this as shown above, it does not transmit to the host device. Disable All Symbologies Scan the bar code below to disable the decoding of all symbologies. Use this to simplify selecting a single symbology to decode by scanning this, then scanning the desired enable code type bar code.
Linear Code Type Security Level Parameter # 0x4E The MS916 offers four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g. Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Select higher security levels for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scan engine’s aggressiveness decreases. Select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
Linear Security Level 3 Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times: Code Type Length MSI 4 or less D 2 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less Linear Security Level 4 All code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded. Bi-directional Redundancy Parameter # 0x43 This parameter is only valid when a Linear Code Type Security Level is enabled (see page 37).

Enable/Disable UPC-E Parameter # 0x02 To enable or disable UPC-E, scan the appropriate bar code below. Enable/Disable UPC-E1 Parameter # 0x0C To enable or disable UPC-E1, scan the appropriate bar code below. NOTE UPC-E1 is not a UCC (Uniform Code Council) approved symbology.
Enable/Disable EAN-8 Parameter # 0x04 To enable or disable EAN-8, scan the appropriate bar code below. Enable/Disable EAN-13 Parameter # 0x03 To enable or disable EAN-13, scan the appropriate bar code below.
Enable/Disable Bookland EAN Parameter # 0x53 To enable or disable EAN Bookland, scan the appropriate bar code below. NOTE If you enable Bookland EAN, select a Bookland ISBN Format on page 46. UPC-A Preamble Parameter # 0x22 Preamble characters (Country Code and System Character) can be transmitted as part of a UPC-A symbol.
UPC-E Preamble Parameter # 0x23 Preamble characters (Country Code and System Character) can be transmitted as part of a UPC-E symbol. Select one of the following options for transmitting UPC-E preamble to the host device: transmit system character only, transmit system character and country code (“0” for USA), or transmit no preamble.
UPC-E1 Preamble Parameter # 0x24 Preamble characters (Country Code and System Character) can be transmitted as part of a UPC-E1 symbol. Select one of the following options for transmitting UPC-E1 preamble to the host device: transmit system character only, transmit system character and country code (“0” for USA), or transmit no preamble.
Convert UPC-E to UPC-A Parameter # 0x25 Enable this parameter to convert UPC-E (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-E (zero suppressed) decoded data. 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.
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.
• Bookland ISBN-10 - The scanner reports Bookland data starting with 978 in traditional 10-digit format with the special Bookland check digit for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not considered Bookland in this mode. • Bookland ISBN-13 - The scanner reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-13 in 13-digit format to meet the 2007 ISBN-13 protocol. NOTE For Bookland EAN to function properly, first enable Bookland EAN using Enable/Disable Bookland EAN on page 42.
