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.
Getting Started Manual Conventions The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the linear imager: Notes contain information necessary for properly diagnosing, repairing and operating the linear imager. NOTE The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions that could damage equipment or property.
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.

Chapter 2 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.
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.
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 automatically charge.

Chapter 5 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.
Data Editing Please Keep In Mind... • Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output 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).
Data Editing Overview Prefix/Suffix — continued Example: Setting a Prefix In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies. 1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned bar code data. In this example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix. 2. Scan the START bar code. 3. Scan the SET PREFIX CHARACTER(S) bar code. 4. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion Chart, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is 24.
Data Editing Prefix/Suffix — continued START MODE BARCODE Sets up to 22 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to FF. To configure this feature, scan the “START” bar code above to place the unit in Programming Mode, then the “Set Prefix” or “Set Suffix,” followed by the digits from the Alphanumeric table in Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad representing your desired character(s). Reference the section, Example: Setting a Prefix, for more information.
Data Editing Overview Preamble/Postamble Similar to the Prefix/Suffix, up to 22 ASCII characters may be added as a preamble (in a position before the bar code data) and/or as a postamble (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 5-3. Figure 5-3.
Data Editing Preamble/Postamble — continued START MODE BARCODE Sets up to 22 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to FF. To configure this feature, scan the “START” bar code above to place the unit in Programming Mode, then the “SET PREAMBLE” or “SET POSTAMBLE,” followed by the digits from the Alphanumeric table in Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad representing your desired character(s). Reference the section, Example: Setting a Postamble, for more information.
Data Editing Overview START MODE BARCODE Transmit Postamble SET END Product Reference Guide 5-7
Data Editing 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 symbologies readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology) will be transmitted in a position before the bar code data.
Data Editing Overview Figure 5-4. Code Data Elements Code Length Transmission: A number of data digits can be transmitted before the code data. AND The total length of the bar code is the number OR of characters of bar code data without truncated leading or ending digits. Prefix Symbology Preamble ID Code Length Bar Code Data ID Postamble Sufffix Code ID Transmission: Enable this option to transmit the code ID.

Data Editing Overview 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. NOTE The options in this chapter set Data Group Characters globally for all symbologies.
Data Editing 2. Scan the START bar code. 3. Next, scan the SET DATA GROUP 1 CHARACTER bar code. 4. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion Chart, to find the hex value assigned to each desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘+’ character is 2B; for the ‘#’ sign, the hex equivalent is 23. To enter the selection code, scan first the ‘2’ and ‘B’ bar codes from Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad, then the ‘2’ and ‘3’ bar codes. 5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned. 6.
