Programming the LS 1004 Introduction This chapter provides information on how to program the LS 1004 scanner. Before programming the scanner, follow the instructions in Set-Up on page 1-3. The Table 4-1 illustrates the default values with which the scanner is shipped. If the default values suit your requirements, scan the SET ALL DEFAULTS barcode. This will set the scanner to the default parameters.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Table 4-1.
Programming the LS 1004 Table 4-1.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide RS-232 Host Type Defaults Three RS-232C hosts are set up with their own parameter default settings (See Table 4-2.). Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu, or Nixdorf RS-232C terminal sets the defaults listed below. These defaults take precedence over standard defaults. So if you select Fujitsu RS-232C, then select the standard defaults, the Fujitsu defaults still take precedence. Table 4-2.
Programming the LS 1004 RS-232C Code ID Characters Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu, or Nixdorf RS-232C terminal enables the transmission of Code ID Characters listed in Table 4-3. These Code ID Characters are not programmable and are separate from the Transmit Code ID feature. The Transmit Code ID feature should not be enabled for these terminals. Table 4-3.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide enabled. To do this, scan the DECODE UPC ONLY ENABLE bar code. You’ll hear hi/lo/hi/ low warble. The warble sound indicates that the scanner has been successfully programmed for the selected parameter. Other beeper indications are listed in Chapter 3. The default for INTERCHARACTER DELAY is 0 msec, but you need it set to 2 msec. To program the scanner for a 2msec intercharacter delay, scan the bar codes listed below.
Programming the LS 1004 Parameter Menus Refer to the Default table in the front of this chapter for the default settings for each parameter type. Set Parameter Defaults Scanning the SET ALL DEFAULTS bar code returns all parameters to the default values listed in the Default Table. Set All Defaults Host Interface Select Scan the bar code corresponding to your host type. You must select a host type when you first set up the scanner and whenever you change host type.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide RS-232 Host Type Use this option to select an RS-232 host type. Note: Synapse hosts are autodetected; no bar codes need to be scanned for hosts using Synapse. 1. Scan the bar code corresponding to the desired host type. 2. Scan ENTER.
Programming the LS 1004 Power On Beep Enable/Disable This option, if selected, causes the beeper to sound at power-up (in continuous power mode only). Power On Beep Enable Power On Beep Disable Beeper after Decode This option determines whether the beeper sounds during normal scanning. Usually, it is desirable to operate the unit with the beeper enabled. In all cases, the beeper operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions. See Table 3-4 on page 3-9.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Beeper Tone Three options are available for beeper tone (frequency); low, middle, and high. Beeper Tone Low Beeper Tone Middle Beeper Tone High Beeper Volume Three options are available for beeper volume; low, middle, and high.
Programming the LS 1004 Decode Attempt Time This parameter sets the length of time the scanner laser beam remains on while attempting to scan a symbol. 0.5 seconds 3.5 seconds 1.0 seconds 4.0 seconds 1.5 seconds 4.5 seconds 2.0 seconds 5.0 seconds 2.5 seconds 5.5 seconds 3.0 seconds 6.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Decode Attempt Time (cont’d) 6.5 seconds 7.0 seconds Operating Mode This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt. The LOW POWER option provides for power-down after each scan attempt, while the CONTINUOUS option provides for power to remain on after each scan attempt. Continuous Low Power Aggressive Scan Mode This parameter is available in the continuous operation mode only.
Programming the LS 1004 Transmit “No Decode” Message This feature gives you the option to transmit “NR” when a symbol does not decode. Prefixes and suffixes enabled will be appended around this character. Transmit “NO DECODE” Message Do Not Transmit “NO DECODE” Message Decode Redundancy When you select ENABLE CODABAR DECODE REDUNDANCY, a Codabar symbol must be decoded in both directions before being accepted as a successful decode.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide ! Code 93 ! Codabar ! Discrete 2 of 5 ! Code 128 ! Code 39 Full ASCII The scanner autodiscriminates between all of the above symbologies, except for Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.
Programming the LS 1004 UPC/EAN Enable/Disable UPC/EAN Enable UPC/EAN Disable UPC/EAN Transmit UPC-E/UPC-A Select this option if decoded UPC-E or UPC-A symbols are transmitted with or without the check digit. Transmit UPC-A check digit Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit Transmit UPC-E check digit Do Not Transmit UPC-E Check Digit Decode UPC Only (Not EAN) If selected, this option limits the scanner’s capability to UPC versions only. It disables EAN decode capability.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Convert UPC-E to UPC-A Select this option to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decode data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit). Convert UPC-E to UPC-A Do Not Convert UPC-E to UPC-A EAN Zero Extend This parameter adds five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols.
Programming the LS 1004 Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental This option is used to select whether UPC/EAN is decoded with or without supplemental characters, or whether the unit autodiscriminates between the two. Supplementals are additionally appended characters, according to specific code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+5). If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters 2-digit or 5-digit only is selected, UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental characters won’t be decoded.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide UPC A and E Preamble(s) Three options are available for the lead-in characters for decoded UPC-A or UPC-E symbols transmitted to the host device. Select one preamble for UPC-A decodes and one for UPC-E decodes. These lead-in characters are considered part of the symbol itself. The three options are: ! a system character only ! the country code and system character ! no preamble The system character is the digit printed to the extreme left of a UPC symbol.
Programming the LS 1004 UPC/EAN Security Level The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Code 128 Enable/Disable Code 128 Enable Code 128 Disable Code 128 Send Code 128 Function Character If selected, Code 128 function characters are sent as: ! FN1=0X1D ! FN2=0X81 ! FN3=0X82 ! FN4=0X83 This option is enabled when data format is 8 bits. Even if this option is disabled or data format is 7 bits, FN1 is still set as 0X1D, unless FN1 is in the first or second character in a bar code message.
Programming the LS 1004 Code 39 Enable/Disable Code 39 Enable Code 39 Disable Code 39 Code 39 Modulo 43 Check When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of a Code 39 symbol to ensure it complies with specified algorithms.

This symbol length includes start and stop characters. Enable CLSI Editing Disable CLSI Editing NOTIS Editing This option strips the start and stop characters from decoded Codabar symbols.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Data Options Transmit Code ID Character A code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This may be useful when the scanner is decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single-character prefixes already selected, the code ID character is appended as a prefix to the decode.
Programming the LS 1004 Prefix The scanner adds one of the following start-of-text characters to transmitted data. ! None ! Start-of-text (STX) ! One user-defined prefix (can be any ASCII character). See Appendix A, ASCII Character Set for more information. Prefix STX Prefix None User’s Choice Prefix Character Suffix Select one or two end-of-text characters to be added to transmitted data. ! None ! CR (Carriage Return) - Returns the cursor to the same position on the line after each decode.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide ! CR & LF - Allow you to select where the cursor on a display terminal returns to after it displays each decoded symbol. Selecting both CR and LF returns the cursor to the same position on successive lines after each decode. If you select no control code, the cursor remains where it stopped after the last transmission. ! HT (Horizontal Tab) - Moves the cursor one tab space. ! End -of-text - One or two characters, user-defined.

LS 1004 Product Reference Guide RS-232C Baud Rate Baud Rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. The unit’s baud rate setting should match the data rate setting of the host device. If not, data may not reach the host device, or may reach it in distorted form.
Programming the LS 1004 Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. If you select ODD parity, the parity bit will have a value of 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. If you select EVEN parity, the parity bit will have a value, 0 or 1, to ensure that and even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. If you select MARK parity, the parity bit will always be 1.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Data Format This parameter sets the transmit data format. The options are: ! 7 Data Bits (With Parity) (default) ! 8 Data Bits (With Parity) ! 8 Data Bits (Without Parity) 7-Bit 8-Bit Stop Bit Select The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream.
Programming the LS 1004 Hardware Handshaking Hardware handshaking allows you to check the readiness of the receiving device before data is transmitted. If the receiving device is periodically occupied with other tasks, hardware handshaking is needed to prevent loss of transmitted data. Select whether the scanned data is to be transmitted as soon as it is available or whether transmission should follow the RTS/CTS procedure.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide ! ENQ ONLY The ENQ option needs the host to request data before it is transmitted to the host. This ensures that data transmission occurs only when the host is ready to receive. When you select the wait for ENQ option, the scanner waits for an ENQ from the host before it transmits data; otherwise, the unit transmits data without waiting for an ENQ character from the host.
Programming the LS 1004 Hardware and Software Handshaking Sequence HARDWARE HANDSHAKING SYMBOL IS DECODED RTS AND CTS HANDSHAKING LINES USED YES NO UNIT ASSERTS REQUEST-TO-SEND LINE.

Glossary ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S. BIT - Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide CODE 128 - A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements. CODE 3 OF 9 (CODE 39) - A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9, and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and space).
Glossary IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation. IEC CLASS I (IEC 825 Class I) - This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 25 seconds of laser operation within any 100 second window and an automatic laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails.
LS 1004 Product Reference Guide REDUNDANCY - A decoding method which requires a bar code be recognized redundantly on a number of sweeps of the scan beam before a decode is declared. While slowing the time-to-decode, redundancy can help lower the possibility of a mis-decode of poorly printed symbols. SCANNER - An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are: 1.
Glossary UPC - Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of which can be any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States.
