Chapter 2 Scanning Introduction This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes, beeper and LED definitions, and general instructions and tips about scanning. LED Beeper Exit Window Trigger Figure 2-1.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Beeper Definitions The scanner communicates with the user by emitting different beeper sequences and patterns. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner. Table 2-1. Standard Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Standard Use Low/medium/high beep Power up. Short high beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).
Scanning Table 2-1. Standard Beeper Definitions (Continued) Beeper Sequence Indication Lo/hi/lo beep The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an attempt to clear or transmit an empty buffer. Lo/hi beep A successful transmission of buffered data. Host Specific USB only 4 short high beeps Scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again. Scanner gives a power-up beep after scanning a USB Device Type.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide LED Definitions In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning. Table 2-2. Standard LED Definitions 2-4 LED Indication Off No power is applied to the scanner, or the scanner is on and ready to scan. Green A bar code was successfully decoded. Red A data transmission error or scanner malfunction occurred.
Scanning Scanning in Hand-Held Mode Install and program your scanner. (Refer to each host chapter and Chapter 4, User Preferences, Chapter 12, Symbologies, Chapter 13, Miscellaneous Scanner Options, and Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting for instructions on programming your scanner.) If you need assistance, contact your local supplier or your local Symbol Support Center. Figure 2-2. Scanning in Hand-Held Mode 1. Ensure all connections are secure. (Refer to the host chapter for your scanner.) 2.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. You can tilt the scanner up to 55° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-3). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. 65 65 Figure 2-3.

LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Omron OPOS/JPOS Fujitsu RS-232 Note: 1User selection is required to configure this interface and this is the most common selection.
RS-232 Interface Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. The scanner's baud rate setting should match the baud rate setting of the host device. If not, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Baud Rate (continued) *Baud Rate 9600 Baud Rate 19,200 Baud Rate 38,400 6-10
RS-232 Interface Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. Odd Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Parity (continued) Select Space parity and the parity bit is always 0. Space Select None when no parity bit is required.
RS-232 Interface 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. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Check Receive Errors Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.
RS-232 Interface 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). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence: • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. *None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS 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.
RS-232 Interface 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 (default) 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.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK.
RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option. *Minimum: 2 Sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.
RS-232 Interface RTS Line State This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state. *Host: Low RTS Host: High RTS Beep on When this parameter is enabled, the scanner issues a beep when a character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. is issued to gain a user's attention to an illegal entry or other important event.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.
RS-232 Interface Nixdorf Beep/LED Options When Nixdorf Mode B is selected, this indicates when the scanner should beep and turn on its LED after a decode.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is send except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character and then an error beep will sound on the scanner.

Chapter 9 Wand Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter covers Wand Emulation host information for setting up your scanner. This mode is used whenever Wand Emulation communication is needed. The scanner will attach either to an external wand decoder or to a decoder integrated in a portable terminal or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. In this mode the scanner emulates the signal of a digital wand to make it "readable" by a wand decoder.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Connecting Using Wand Emulation To perform Wand Emulation, connect the scanner to a portable data terminal, or a controller which collects the wand data and interprets it for the host. Wand port Portable Data Terminal Interface cable Figure 9-1. Wand Emulation Connection 1. Connect the Wand Emulation interface cable to the bottom of the scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3. 2.
Wand Emulation Interface Wand Emulation Default Parameters Table 9-1 lists the defaults for Wand Emulation host types. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Wand Emulation Host Parameters section beginning on page 9-4. Note: See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters. Table 9-1.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Wand Emulation Host Parameters Wand Emulation Host Types Select your wand emulation host by scanning one of the bar codes below. Symbol OmniLink Interface Controller1 Symbol PDT Terminal (MSI) Symbol PTC Terminal (Telxon) Note: 1User selection is required to configure this interface and this is the most common selection.
Wand Emulation Interface Leading Margin (Quiet Zone) Scan a bar code below to select a leading margin duration. A leading margin is the time that precedes the first bar of the scan, (in milliseconds). The minimum allowed value is 80 msec and the maximum is 250 msec. This parameter is used to accommodate older wand decoders which cannot handle short leading margins. Note: 250 msec is the maximum value that this parameter can attain, however, 200 msec is sufficient.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Polarity Polarity determines how the scanner's wand emulation interface creates the Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). DBP is a digital signal that represents the scanned bar code. Different decoders, to which this device could be attached, are expecting the DBP to be in a certain format. The DBP either has the "highs" represent bars and the "lows" represent spaces (margins), or the "highs" represent spaces (margins) and the "lows" represent bars.
Wand Emulation Interface Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep will sound on the scanner.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide ADF Note: By default, the Wand Emulation Interface does not allow scanned data to be processed by ADF rules. Enabling this parameter has the side effect of allowing the scanned data to be processed by the ADF rules (Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting). .
Chapter 10 Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter covers Undecoded Scanner Emulation host information for setting up your scanner. This mode is used whenever Undecoded Scanner Emulation communication is needed. When Undecoded Scanner Emulation is used, the scanner will attach either to an external decoder or to a decoder integrated in a portable terminal or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Undecoded Scanner Host Parameters section beginning on page 10-5. Note: See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters. Table 10-1.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host Scan the bar code below to enable the Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host Parameters Beep Style The Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host supports three different beep styles. The default is to beep when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the scanner. This way, the scanner and the attached decoder beep at the same time. The second option is to beep on the scanner's decode.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Parameter Pass-Through The Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host has the ability to process parameter barcode messages and send them to the attached decoder. In this way, customers using Symbol compliant decoders can control the behavior of the entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. Note:Enabling D 2 of 5, for example, can be performed simply by scanning the "D 2 of 5 Enable" parameter barcode on the Scanner.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Convert Newer Code Types The LS2208 supports a variety of code types that are customarily not decodable by attached decoder systems. To allow compatibility in these environments, the scanner converts these code types to more commonly decodable symbologies, as per the following chart. Symbologies not listed on this chart are transmitted normally.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Module Width The standard module width is 20 µs. In the case of an extremely slow decoder system, this module width can be extended to 50 µs through use of this parameter.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable the conversion of all bar code data to Code 39. *Do Not Convert Bar Codes To Code 39 Convert All To Code 39 Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion By default, any characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set are replaced by a space.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Transmission Timeout The Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host transmits barcode data to the attached decoder and waits for the attached decoder to assert the Decode signal, indicating successful transmission. If, after a specified amount of time, the Decode signal has not been asserted (indicating that the attached decoder has not successfully received the barcode data), the scanner issues Transmit Error beeps.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Transmission Timeout (Continued) 30 Second Transmission Timeout Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters that the decoder does not recognize. When "Ignore Unknown Characters" is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps are sounded. When "Convert Error on Unknown Characters" is selected, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the decoder, and a Convert Error beep is sounded.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Leading Margin Scan a bar code below to select a leading margin duration.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Check For Decode LED The attached decoder normally asserts the Decode line to signal to the Undecoded Scanner Emulation Host that it has successfully decoded the transmitted barcode. Some decoders, however, do not assert the Decode signal to tell the scanner that a decode has occurred. In this case, the scanner emits Transmit Error beeps to indicate that the barcode was not successfully transmitted.

Symbologies Security Level The LS 2208 offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes. These include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN and Code 93. 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 2208 Product Reference Guide Security Level 2 Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes. SECURITY LEVEL 2 Security Level 3 If Security Level 2 has been tried and misdecodes are still occurring, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner.
Symbologies Bi-directional Redundancy Bi-directional Redundancy is used for added security to linear code type security levels. When enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before reporting a good decode.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Intercharacter Gap Size The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is customarily quite small. Due to various barcode-printing technologies, this gap may grow larger than the maximum size allowed, causing the scanner to be unable to decode the symbol. If this problem is encountered, then the "Large Intercharacter Gaps" parameter should be scanned, to tolerate these out-of-specification barcodes.
Chapter 13 Miscellaneous Scanner Options Introduction This chapter includes commonly used bar codes to customize how your data is transmitted to your host device. In addition to these bar codes for data formatting, refer to each host chapter for the appropriate host connections and host device features for your scanner. Refer to Chapter 12, Symbologies and Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting for customizing data for transmission to your host device.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases you need only scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Parameters, such as Prefix Value, require that you scan several bar codes in the proper sequence. Refer to each individual parameter for descriptions of this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, if you make an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
Miscellaneous Scanner Options Miscellaneous Default Parameters Table 13-1 lists the defaults for miscellaneous scanner options parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters section beginning on page 13-4. Note: See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters. Table 13-1.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters 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 prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol. The user may select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character.
Miscellaneous Scanner Options Prefix/Suffix Values A prefix/suffix may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. These values are set by scanning a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes) that corresponds to key codes for various terminals. See Table E-1 on page E-1 for conversion information. Numeric bar codes begin on page D-1 in Appendix D. If you make an error or wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on page D-5.

Set FN1 Substitution Value 2. Look up the keystroke desired for FN1 Substitution in the ASCII Character Set table for the currently installed host interface.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Transmit “No Read” Message Scan a bar code below to select whether or not a “No Read” message is transmitted. When enabled, the characters NR are transmitted when a bar code is not decoded. When disabled, if a symbol does not decode, nothing is sent to the host.
Miscellaneous Scanner Options Synapse Interface The auto-detection of a Synapse cable needs to vary in duration depending on the type of Synapse connection. If a scanner is connected to another scanner using a Synapse cable then the Auxiliary Synapse Port connection should be used. In all other cases, where the cable is used, the default setting is recommended.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide 13-12
Chapter 14 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to your host device. Scan data can be edited to suit your particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 14-8, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 11, 123Scan) which allows the scanner to be setup and programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide For instance, a data formatting rule could be the following: Criteria: When scan data is Code 39, length 12, and data at the start position is the string “129”, Actions: pad all sends with zeros to length 8, send all data up to X, send a space. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is transmitted: 00001299. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length criteria has not been met.
Advanced Data Formatting ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how ADF rules are entered and used for scan data. An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the manufacturer.

Advanced Data Formatting where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily you would send this data as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, you may want to send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) and the cashier will key the price manually. To implement this, you would first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example, the rule may look like this: When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1. It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 14-11 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.
Advanced Data Formatting applies to them. For the LS 2208, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format. These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order of their creation is also important. Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules.
LS 2208 Product Reference Guide Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with the Send Pause parameter on page -29 allows a pause to be inserted in the data transmission. Pauses are set by scanning a two-digit number (i.e., two bar codes), and are measured in 0.1 second intervals. For example, scanning bar codes “0” and “1” inserts a 0.1 second pause; “0” and “5” gives you a 0.5 second delay. Numeric bar codes begin on page D-1 in Numeric Bar Codes.
