Some features, such as Minimum Label Length or Label ID, require you to select the length by scanning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single 'good read' beep is sounded when scanning these single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

The Programming Session

It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between scanning the set label and scanning the end label). However, it is recommended that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made, should you make a mistake in the programming sequence. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session. The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the END label is scanned. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the END label, will cause the scanner to forget any programming labels scanned during the current programming session and will cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.
Scanner Response When In Programming Mode
As discussed earlier, Programming Mode is entered by scanning a SET label. The green LED will flash continuously at 1Hz duty cycle while the scanner is in Programming Mode. As long as it is in Programming Mode, the scanner will not decode regular bar code labels and will only enable features supported by the currently active interface. Scanning regular (non-programming) bar code labels the scanner will reject the label, sounding an error tone (six rapid beeps). Scanning a valid programming label a. If the feature is supported by the active interface, the scanner will sound three beeps.
b. If incorrect programming has been entered, the error tone will be sounded (six rapid beeps). Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length or Label ID, scanning the END label before completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous labels scanned during the session will take effect.

If You Make a Mistake.

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner's settings or wish to reset the scanner's configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label on this page to return the scanner's configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.
Return to Factory Settings
Scan this label to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory for your scanners original interface specifications. This label is typically used to return the scanner to a known operating state when the present programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.

Use this label with caution, since it will disable ALL features that may have been programmed since the scanners installation.
If you don't have a record of your site/system's original configuration, you may need to call your nearest service depot for assistance to return the scanner to normal function. Please be prepared to provide information about the store/chain, location, POS system and other pertinent information about the scanner being repaired.

Where To Go From Here

Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps: 1. 2. If you are changing interfaces, first connect the scanner to the new host using the new interface cable. Scan the interface enable bar code label1. Scan any feature labels that are unique to the interface you are currently programming. These interface specific programming labels immediately follow each interface selection label. Turn to the Symbology section if you are going to change any bar code symbologies or modify any symbology related features. Turn to the General Features section of this guide if you wish to change or modify any of the scanner's other features.
Once the necessary changes have been made, and you have scanned the END label, you are ready to scan.
This step is not necessary for QuickScan 6000 Plus scanners, unless you require a specific interface sub-type such as SNI OCIA or IBM sub-type 4682/92 Port E. Interface software is automatically selected when the QuickScan 6000 Plus hardware connection (via a new interface cable) is made.

Handshaking
Review your system documentation to identify handshaking requirements, and use these labels to change the settings if required. The following brief descriptions explain each selection.

Hardware Control

CTS/RTS Flow Control is hardware handshaking. The scanner activates the RTS (Ready to Send) line when it is ready to send data to the host. The scanner waits for an active Clear to Send (CTS) signal from the host before transmitting data. If hardware control is disabled, CTS/RTS communication will not take place. If the host deactivates the CTS line during data transmission, the host will receive additional characters for no more than 2msec 1.

CTS/RTS Flow Control

The scanner supports ten1 PC Keyboard Wedge interfaces. The table below defines the different interface selections.

Symbology-Specific Label I.D.
Setting Symbology-Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.D.)
Symbology-specific label identifiers comprise one or two ASCII characters that can precede or follow barcode label data as it is transmitted to the host. The host uses these characters as a means of distinguishing between symbologies. Industry standards have been established for symbology-specific label identifiers, and are listed in the table below. Most scanners will have factory default identifiers preset to these standards.
Table 1. Industry Standard Label Identifiers (all are prefixes)
UPC-A ------------------------------ 'A' UPC-E ------------------------------ 'E' EAN-8 ---------------------------- 'FF' EAN-13 ----------------------------- 'F' UPC-A (2 add-on) -------------- 'A' UPC-A (5 Add-on) -------------- 'A' UPC-A (8 Add-on) --------------- 'A' UPC-E (2 add-on) -------------- 'E' UPC-E (5 Add-on) -------------- 'E' UPC-E (8 Add-on) --------------- 'E' EAN-8 (2 add-on) ------------- 'FF' EAN-8 (5 Add-on) ------------ 'FF' EAN-8 (8 Add-on) ------------- 'FF' EAN-13 (2 add-on) ------------- 'F' EAN-13 (5 Add-on) ------------- 'F' EAN-13 (8 Add-on) -------------- 'F' Code 39 ----------------------------- '*' Codabar --------------------------- '%' Interleaved.2 of 5 ---------------- 'i' Code 93 ---------------------------- '&' Code 128 -------------------------- '#' MSI/Plessey --------------------- '@'
To set symbology-specific label identifiers: 1. Look at the ASCII chart shown on the previous page and identify the ASCII character(s) and the corresponding Hex Code(s) for the ASCII characters you will use as identifiers. You will also need to determine whether the character(s) will need to be sent as a prefix or a suffix.
For example: You need to change the label identifier prefix for UPC-A to 'A1'.
Scan the SET label below. Scan either the TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS PREFIX or TRANSMIT LABEL I.D. AS SUFFIX, depending on your requirements.
For our example, the 'transmit as prefix' label would be scanned.
Setting Symbology Specific Label Identifiers (Label I.D.) (Continued)
4. Scan the label representing the symbology whose label identifier you wish to modify.
In our example, we would scan the 'UPC-A' symbology label.
Identify and scan the digits that correspond to the Hex Values.
The hex values from the ASCII chart that correspond to 'A1' from our example are as follows: 41 hex = 'A', and 31 hex = '1'. Thus, we would scan digit programming labels in this order: 4, 1, 3, 1.

Symbology Options Overview
Enable All Symbologies allows the scanner to auto-discriminate between all the symbologies in this list. Use this selection only if you must constantly read a wide variety of symbologies. Turn to the following pages for enabling additional symbology specific options. Disable All Symbologies disables all symbologies1. The scanner will only recognize the programming labels contained in this manual while you are in Programming Mode. Enable UPC/EAN tells the scanner to recognize UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN8, and EAN-13. If you enable this symbology, additional options for symbology expansion and reading add-ons are available. Allows selection of expansion and add-on options. Enable Code 39 selects Code 39 as an active symbology. Allows selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop and Single Digit options. PharmaCode 39 is a symbology subset of Code 39. Enabling PharmaCode 39 selects this special Italian code as the active Code 39 symbology (superceding standard Code 39 features). NOTE Standard Code 39 must be enabled before PharmaCode can be enabled. Enable Interleaved 2 of 5 selects Interleaved 2 of 5 as an active symbology. Allows change of Check Digit or label format (fixed or variable length) options. Enable Standard 2 of 5 selects Standard 2 of 5 as an active symbology. Options for this symbology are similar to Interleaved 2 of 5 features.
1 Code 128 is always active for the purpose of reading programming bar code labels; however, the scanner does not transmit data to the host when in Programming Mode. Scanning the DISABLE ALL SYMBOLOGIES label will disable Code 128 transmission to the host.
IATA is a special symbology subset of Standard 2 of 5. Enabling IATA selects this custom code as the active Standard 2 of 5 symbology (superceding any other Standard 2 of 5 features). NOTE Standard 2 of 5 must be enabled before IATA can be enabled. Enable Codabar selects Codabar as an active symbology. Allows selection of Check Digit, Start/Stop character and format, or label format (fixed or variable length) options. Enable Code 93 selects Code 93 as an active symbology. The scanner is preset to recognize all Code 93 bar codes that have between 2 and 50 characters. Code 93 has no user-selectable options. Enable Code 1281 selects Code 128 as an active symbology. The scanner is preset to recognize all Code 128 bar codes that have between 2 and 50 characters. Code 128 has no user selectable options. Enable MSI/Plessey selects MSI/Plessey as an active symbology. Allows selection of Check Digit or label format (fixed or variable length) options.

UPC/EAN Options

The information below provides a brief description of the programmable UPC/EAN features included on the following pages. Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 adds a leading zero to a UPC-A label which 'expands' the label to the EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. Expand UPC-E to UPC-A expands UPC-E labels to UPC-A data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for UPC-A. If this feature and Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 are both enabled, label data will be sent to the host in EAN-13 label format. Expand EAN-8 to EAN-13 adds five zeros in front of an EAN-8 label. Data is sent in EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. Expand UPC-E to EAN-13 expands UPC-E labels to EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. UPC-A or UPC-E and EAN-8 or EAN-13 Two and Five Digit AddOns Optional scanner will read UPC/EAN bar codes with or without add-ons. Required UPC/EAN bar codes must have add-on or label will not be read. Disable scanner will not recognize/read add-on portion of UPC/ EAN labels, but will read the main body of the label. Price/Weight Check Digit provides options for enabling price/ weight check digits. The feature includes selections for domestic four or five digit, and European four or five digit, as well as the option to disable the price/weight check.

Code 39 Minimum Label Length sets the minimum label length required for Code 39 labels (not including the check character). This feature is provided to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label.

Standard 2 of 5

The Standard 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. The Transmit Check Digit will have no effect unless the Compute Check Digit feature is enabled. If you choose Dont Compute Check Digit, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the bar code without verifying its accuracy. If you choose both Compute Check Digit and Don't Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check Digit's contents before sending the bar code data to the host. The Transmit Check Digit option has no effect unless the Compute Check Digit option is enabled. Label Format provides the selection between fixed or variable length labels. If your application has labels with specific fixed lengths, we recommend selecting fixed lengths to improve read rate and avoid short reads. You can select any valid number of digits for reading specific length labels only. Read the following details for specific Standard 2 of 5 limits.
Standard 2 of 5 Label Lengths
Standard 2 of 5 Minimum Label Length sets the minimum label length required for Standard 2/5 labels (not including the check character). This feature is provided to ignore small label segments, reducing the possibility that a portion of a good label is incorrectly seen as an entire label. Variable Length if you select variable length, the scanner will recognize labels with a number of digits between 01 and 50 * digits. Fixed Length if you select fixed length, there are three labels for programming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The labels are: Set First Fixed Length use this label to instruct the scanner that the next two programming labels you scan will define the first fixed label length. This setting can be any number of digits between 01 and 50 * digits.

NOTE The more times the scanner is required to read and compare the bar code's data, the longer it will take to complete a good read cycle.
Universal Read Verification
To set read requirements universally (read requirements will be in effect for all symbologies), scan one of the selections below for one, two, three or four reads required before a bar code's data can be transmitted to the host. NOTE DO NOT scan SET or END bar codes when programming these features. Programming mode is automatically entered and exited when one of the four bar codes below are scanned.

Low Power Mode

QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus incorporates two optional low power modes to optimize power usage and extend scanner life.
NOTE These features are only available with RS-232, Wand Emulation and Keyboard Wedge host interfaces. WARNING DO NOT use Very Low Power Mode in conjunction with Stand Mode, as this feature is not compatible and may cause unexpected behavior. Low Power Idle places the scanner's microcontroller into a WAIT state during idle periods. Any interrupt will bring the scanner to life, including internal timer and watchdog events. Very Low Power Mode (RS-232 and Wand Emulation interfaces ONLY1) places the scanner in a STOP state during idle periods. The scanner can only be brought out of its STOP state by a trigger pull or hardware reset.

Installation
Refer to Figure 1 and follow these steps to install the QuickScan 6000/QuickScan 6000 Plus scanner: 1. If necessary, turn the host power off (consult the manual for your host terminal), then connect the Interface (I/F) cable to the scanner. Connect the I/F cable to the proper port on the Host terminal. Connect the power cord at the I/F connector. Power Off the Terminal (P.O.T.) units skip this step. Connect the AC/DC adapter at the wall outlet. (P.O.T. units skip this step.) Verify operation--point at a flat surface & pull the trigger. A red targeting beam should be visible. Scan a sample label and confirm that the scanner reads the label by beeping and/or sending the data to the host terminal.

How to Scan

Reference Figure 2 and follow these tips to get the best scanning results: 1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle to the barcode. (Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the barcode.) The laser beam must cross the entire label. (The scanner cannot correctly read a barcode if the entire label is not scanned.)

Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not operating properly, the following checks should be performed: Reference Figures 3 and 4. 1. Since the scanner can receive its power from the host computer (Power Off the TerminalP.O.T.) or an external power supply, it will not operate without the system power on or if the external power supply has failed. 2. If an external power supply is used, exchange the power supply with a known good power supply. If the scanner receives power from the host (P.O.T.), connect the scanner to a known good host. 3. Verify that the interface cable is securely attached to the host. Consult your technical support manager or refer to your host system manual to verify the proper connection for the scanner. Verify that the interface cable is securely attached to the scanner handle. Check that the labels are of sufficient quality to be recognized by the scanner. Wrinkled, smudged, or torn labels can cause the scanner to not read at all. If you suspect that label quality is a problem, scan a known good label to check the scanner's read operation. Ensure that the scanner's interface type is compatible with the host terminal by consulting your POS system manual and/or the QuickScan 6000/QuickScan 6000 Plus Programming Guide (P/N R44-1540). 6. 4. 5. 3.
