Chapter 3 Reading Codes 3.1 Before Use Be sure to charge the battery cartridge loaded in the scanner with the dedicated charger before using the scanner for the first time or after an extended period of disuse. (For the charging procedure, refer to Chapter 9.) 3.2 Operation Procedure (1) Bring the reading window to a target code and press the trigger switch. The marker beam comes on, indicating the scan range. Align the center of the marker beam with that of the target code.
Scanning mode Regular read mode This mode transfers the code data when the scanner has read the code successfully. Data verification mode This mode verifies the code data against the master data stored in the scanner. (Refer to Section 6.1 for details.) Switching to sleep mode for power saving The scanner switches from standby to sleep mode to save power when the trigger switch is off in the auto-off or momentary switching mode or when the scanner is on standby in the alternate switching mode.
Chapter 4 Customizing the Scanner You can customize the scanner by modifying communications, code type, and other scanner parameters with the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software ScannerSetting_2D*. These parameters retain their settings even when the power is off. TIP: The scanner can hold not only its own parameter settings but also communications adapter parameter settings in its memory and customize the communications adapter via the Bluetooth wireless link.
Chapter 5 Scanning Control Two types of scanning controls are available--Trigger switch control and Software control. Trigger switch control: Pressing the trigger switch readies the scanner for scanning. (Refer to Section 5.1.) Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the Bluetooth® interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby. (Refer to Section 5.2.
5.2 Software Control You can control the scanner by sending scanning control commands from the host computer via the Bluetooth interface, instead of pressing the trigger switch. Scanning control commands include R, READON, LON, Z, READOFF and LOFF and are restricted by the trigger switch operating modes, as listed below.
Chapter 6 6.1 Scanning Functions Data Verification Mode The data verification mode verifies the code data read against the master data stored in the scanner and reports the match status with data output. Data verification read is available in two types--"n-point verification" and "2-point verification," which can be selected with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). Selecting the n-point verification requires registering master data only one time for 1:n verification.
2-point verification Scan master registration 1) Switch the scanner to the data verification mode. The indicator LED lights in green. 2) Use the scanner to scan a master code to be registered. (The scanner operates in the trigger switch operating mode currently set.) After the registration of master data, the indicator LED turns blue and then goes OFF. 3) Use the scanner to scan a target code. The scanner verifies the code read against the master data registered and then outputs the result.
6.1.2 Specifying a verification object You can specify two types of verification objects--data string and data block. For data string verification, specify the verification start position and the number of characters to be verified. For data block verification, specify one of the data blocks delimited by commas in the CSV format.
6.1.3 Verification result output (1) Report of match/mismatch status You can select any of the following report types using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). Selecting "Disable transmission" reports nothing. If there is a match: If there is a mismatch: Disable transmission. Disable transmission. Code data transmission. Code data transmission. OK transmission. NG transmission.
6.2 Editing Data You can edit and output code data read, in any of the four data edit modes--"data extraction mode," "data substitution mode," "data blocksorting mode" and "ADF script mode." These data edit modes can be selected with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The default is "No editing.
Extraction start and end positions "Extraction start position" Head position "Extraction end position" nth position Tail position nth position Tail position By n positions from the start position nth position The n can be 1 through 9999. Note that if the extraction start position is specified as nth position, the extraction end position should be equal to or greater than the extraction start position.
6.2.1.2 Extracting data blocks If data read is in the comma-delimited CSV format, the scanner extracts data blocks specified by the data block numbers from a code specified by the "Code type" and then outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 8, Section 8.2). The extraction conditions and data bock numbers are listed below.
Example Code read: QR Code, Data: (See the table below.
6.2.1.3 Extracting AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed strings If the scanner reads any of GS1-128 (EAN-128), GS1 DataBar (RSS), and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (excluding linear components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol), it edits the data according to AIs and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 8, Section 8.2). The "AI-prefixed string" extraction is available in two modes--AI-delimited mode and AI parenthesizing mode.
Example Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810(17)040208(17)040305 Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Scanner ID: Disable, Code ID mark: Disable, Transmission of the number of digits: Disable, Prefix/Suffix: None, BCC: Disable Extraction conditions "Data transfer regardless of error result": Prohibit "Data transfer regardless of error result": Permit AIs specified 01,11,17 Delimiter Comma 17,11 Output data [STX]94901234567894,030808,040208[ETX] [STX]040208,030808[ETX] 17,17 [STX]040208,040305[E
(2) AI parenthesizing mode In this mode, the scanner parenthesizes AIs contained in data read and outputs the edited data according to the extraction conditions. Extraction conditions Extraction conditions Choices "Data transfer regardless of error result" Permit/Prohibit If the scanner fails to extract an AI-prefixed element string when the "Data transfer regardless of error result" is permitted, it outputs the data read as is without editing.

(**) n indicates the length of data.
6.2.2 Data substitution mode If the scanner reads a code specified by the "Code type" in this mode, it searches the data read for the specified string (max. 16 ASCII characters), substitutes it with the specified substitution string (max. 16 ASCII characters), and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 8, Section 8.2).
6.2.3 Data blocksorting mode The scanner splits code data read into a maximum of 5 blocks at the specified split positions, sorts those blocks in the specified order, and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 8, Section 8.2). Note: The split position must be specified by the number of digits from the head of code data read. Specifying the number of digits exceeding that in the code data results in an error.
6.2.4 ADF script mode The ADF script refers to a simple program language designed for editing of data read. It enables the following functions. (1) Extracting data that is fixed or variable in length (2) Supporting Application Identifiers (AIs) in GS1-128 (EAN-128), GS1 DataBar (RSS) and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (3) Sorting data blocks into the specified order (4) Collating data for verification (5) Outputting same data repeatedly (6) Performing four arithmetic operations including residue calculation, e.
6.3 Point Scan Mode In the point scan mode, you can aim at a target code by matching up the center spot of the marker beam with that code. If there is no code at that center spot or the scanner cannot detect the marker beam due to high levels of ambient lighting, the scanner cannot read anything. The point scan mode takes effect only when the marker is permitted to light. 6.
6.6 Scanning Structured Appended QR (iQR) Code Symbols QR Code symbology can split data into a maximum of 16 blocks and encode each of them into a Structured Appended QR Code symbol (model 1 or 2) or Structured Appended iQR Code symbol. Structured Appended Code scanning is possible only with the same Code model.
6.7 Multi-line Barcode Scanning The scanner can scan up to 3 lines of bar codes in the readable area at any one time. You can specify the number of lines to be scanned, the data output order and output format using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).* 6.7.1 Number of lines The number of lines allowed for multi-line barcode scanning is 2 or 3. This setting is essential. 6.7.
