RS-232 Host Parameters

The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost. When the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data. When data transmission is complete, the scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character. The host should respond by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next transmission of data.
During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is de-asserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded. If the above communication sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned. If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.
The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state. NOTE
None: Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. Standard RTS/CTS: Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. RTS/CTS Option 1: When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete. RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Hardware Handshaking cont.
RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

Chapter 9 Symbologies

This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 2, Getting Started. The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in Table 23 on page 96 (also see Appendix B, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host. To return all features to default values, scan the appropriate default bar code on page 21. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

*Disable Code 32 Prefix Set Lengths for Code 39
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.
When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero. NOTE
One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 39 bar codes containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad. For example, to decode only Code 39 bar codes with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad. Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 39 bar codes containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad. For example, to decode only those Code 39 bar codes containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad.

Buffer Code 39 (Enable)

*Do Not Buffer Code 39
While there is data in the transmission buffer, selecting Do Not Buffer Code 39 is not allowed. The buffer holds 200 bytes of information. To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission (see Transmit Buffer on page 119) or clear the buffer. Buffer Data To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 bar code must be read with a space immediately following the start pattern.
- Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the scanner issues a low/high beep to indicate successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer on page 120.) - The scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer. - No transmission occurs.
Clear Transmission Buffer
Because the Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character, set the Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code. NOTE
To clear the transmission buffer, scan the Clear Buffer bar code below, which contains only a start character, a dash (minus), and a stop character.
- The scanner issues a short high/low/high beep. - The scanner erases the transmission buffer. - No transmission occurs.

Clear Buffer

Transmit Buffer
Because the Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character, set the Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code. NOTE
There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer.
1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below which contains only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character. - The scanner transmits and clears the buffer. - The scanner issues a low/high beep.
2. Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space. - The scanner appends new decode data to buffered data. - The scanner transmits and clears the buffer. - The scanner signals that the buffer was transmitted with a low/high beep. - Scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
Overfilling Transmission Buffer The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the bar code just read results in an overflow of the transmission buffer:
The scanner indicates that the bar code was rejected by issuing three long, high beeps. No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.

One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 11 bar codes containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad. For example, to decode only Code 11 bar codes with 14 characters, scan Code 11 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad. Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 11 bar codes containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad. For example, to decode only those Code 11 bar codes containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 11 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad. Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 11 bar code with a specific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix E, Keypad. For example, to decode Code 11 bar codes containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 11 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan the CANCEL bar code located in Appendix E, Keypad. Any Length - Scan this option to decode Code 11 bar codes containing any number of characters within the scanner capability.

General Purpose Corded Handheld Laser Bar Code Reader
The QuickScan reader series is Datalogic Scannings value line of general purpose handheld data collection products. As an entry level scanner, the QuickScan L scanner provides a simple solution for those who prefer laser scanning technology and need to read bar codes at nominal distances. A wider than usual scan angle provides the ability to read a longer bar code from a shorter distance. Perfect for use in retail and office environments, its small, lightweight and ergonomic design is comfortable to use during daily operations. The QuickScan L reader has snappy reading performance and is capable of reading a wide range of symbologies including the majority of 1D codes plus GS1 DataBar linear codes. The QuickScan L reader has been designed with durability in mind. One of the most vulnerable features of any scanner is damage to the scan window. When such incidents happen, the scanner may have to be replaced. The QuickScan L reader was specifically designed so that a replacement
window pack can be ordered to replace damaged or scratched windows without having to send the scanner away for repairs. This helps to reduce the total cost of ownership during the life of the scanner and helps to ensure that it is always available for use. Each QuickScan L reader comes with multiple interfaces which cover the most popular interfaces and includes various packaging options so that it can be ordered as the scanner only or as a kit equipped with a scanner, cable and stand to facilitate hand-free reading options.
