Extended Keypad Keystroke 7016 Down Arrow 7017 Left Arrow 7018 Right Arrow RS-232 Interface This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. Use the RS-232 interface to connect the digital scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port). Connecting an RS232 Interface Connect the digital scanner directly to the host computer. Note: Interface cables vary depending on configuration.
RS-232 Host Types To select an RS-232 host interface, scan one of the following barcodes. 1 Scanning Standard RS-232 activates the RS-232 driver, but does not change port settings (e.g., parity, data bits, handshaking). Selecting another RS-232 host type barcode changes these settings. The CUTE host disables all parameter scanning, including Set Defaults. If you inadvertently select CUTE, scan *Enable Parameter Barcode Scanning, and then change the host selection.
Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the digital scanner's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form. Note: The digital scanner does not support baud rates below 9600. 22 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Unitech is a registered trademark of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd.
Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. z Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an odd number of 1 bits. z Select Even parity to set the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an even number of 1 bits. z Select None when no parity bit is required.
Check Receive Errors Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above. 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.
z RTS/CTS Option 1: If you select RTS/CTS Option 1, the digital scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission completes. z RTS/CTS Option 2: If you select Option 2, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the digital scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data.
when a time-out occurs. If you select this option, the digital scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If it does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the digital scanner 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. z ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options.
Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the digital scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK software handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS hardware handshaking mode. RTS Line State This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a barcode below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state. 27 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Beep on If you enable this parameter, the digital scanner issues a beep when it detects a character on the RS-232 serial line. indicates an illegal entry or other important event. Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions. 28 Copyright 2013 Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Redundancy Level 3 Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded.
z Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2 and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec barcodes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the decoder. If you need this level of security, try to improve the quality of the barcodes. Intercharacter Gap Size The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small.
Macro PDF User Indications In this mode the decoder provides the following feedback.
By using Passthrough All Symbols mode every user decode is transmitted to the host where the host software can provide the appropriate feedback. Transmit Macro PDF Control Header When enabled, this activates transmission of the control header, which contains the segment index and the file ID, in Macro PDF symbols. For example, the field may be: \92800000\725\120\343. The five digits after the \928 are the segment index (or block index), and \725\120\343 is the file ID.
Escape Characters This enables the backslash (\) character as an Escape character for systems that can process transmissions containing special data sequences. Scan a barcode below to either format special data according to the GLI (Global Label Identifier) protocol, or to disable this parameter. This parameter only affects the data portion of a Macro PDF symbol transmission; the Macro PDF Control Header (if enabled) is always sent with GLI formatting.
