Chapter 2 Scanning Introduction This chapter includes the techniques involved in scanning bar codes, beeper and LED definitions, and general instructions and tips about scanning.
2-2 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Beeper Definitions The scanner communicates 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 2-3 Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions (Continued) Beeper Sequence Indication 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. Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power level. This power-up beep occurs more than once.
2-4 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Scanning in Hand-Held Mode Install and program the scanner. See each host chapter and Chapter 4, User Preferences, Chapter 12, Symbologies, Chapter 13, Miscellaneous Scanner Options, and Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting for programming instructions. For assistance, contact your local supplier or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. Figure 2-2 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode 1. Ensure all connections are secure. See the host chapter for your host. 2.
Scanning 2-5 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.

6 - 14 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide 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). Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available. Select Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence: • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 15 RTS/CTS Option 1 If you select RTS/CTS Option 1, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission completes. RTS/CTS Option 1 RTS/CTS Option 2 If you select Option 2, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data.
6 - 16 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Software Handshaking This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, the control that hardware handshaking offers. There are five options. If software handshaking and hardware handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes precedence. None Select this option to transmit data immediately. No response is expected from host.
RS-232 Interface 6 - 17 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: • The scanner receives an XOFF before it has data to send.
6 - 18 Symbol LS2208 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 occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK software handshaking modes, or in RTS/CTS hardware handshaking mode. *Minimum: 2 Sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.

Chapter 9 Wand Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter includes Wand Emulation host information for setting up the scanner. Use this mode when you need Wand Emulation communication. The scanner connects 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. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
9-2 Symbol LS2208 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.

Symbol OmniLink Interface Controller1 Symbol PDT Terminal (MSI) Symbol PTC Terminal (Telxon) NOTE 1 User selection is required to configure this interface and this is the most common selection.
Wand Emulation Interface 9-5 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.
9-6 Symbol LS2208 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 can connect, are expecting the DBP 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 9-7 Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 By default, the Wand Emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the same symbology that was decoded. This can present a problem for customers with older systems that do not recognize some newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar). Enable this parameter to ignore the decoded symbology, and output the data as Code 39. Lowercase characters in the original data stream transmit as uppercase. This also allows ADF formatting.

Chapter 10 Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter includes undecoded scanner emulation host information for setting up the scanner. Use this mode when you require undecoded scanner emulation communication. With this host, the scanner connects 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, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 5 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.
10 - 6 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Parameter Pass-Through The undecoded scanner emulation host can process parameter bar code messages and send them to the attached decoder. In this way, customers using Motorola compliant decoders can control the behavior of the entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. NOTE To enable D 2 of 5, for example, simply scan the D 2 of 5 Enable parameter bar code on the scanner. The scanner and the attached decoder both process the parameter.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 7 Convert Newer Code Types The Symbol LS2208 supports a variety of code types that are typically not decodable by attached decoder systems. To allow compatibility in these environments, the scanner converts these code types to more common symbologies, as per the following chart. Symbologies not listed on this chart transmit normally.
10 - 8 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable converting 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, a space replaces any characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set. Enable this parameter to encode the data sent to the undecoded scanner emulation host in Code 39 Full ASCII.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 9 Transmission Timeout The undecoded scanner emulation host transmits bar code 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 is not asserted (indicating the attached decoder did not receive the bar code data), the scanner issues Transmit Error beeps.
10 - 10 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the decoder does not recognize. Select Ignore Unknown Characters to send all bar code data except for unknown characters. The scanner sounds no error beeps. Select Convert Error on Unknown Characters to prevent sending bar codes containing at least one unknown character to the decoder. The scanner sounds a Convert Error beep.
Undecoded Scanner Emulation Interface 10 - 11 Leading Margin Scan a bar code below to select a leading margin duration.
10 - 12 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Check For Decode LED The attached decoder normally asserts the Decode line to signal to the undecoded scanner emulation host that it successfully decoded the transmitted bar code. Some decoders, however, do not assert the Decode signal to tell the scanner that a decode occurred. In this case, the scanner emits Transmit Error beeps to indicate that the bar code was not successfully transmitted.

Chapter 13 Miscellaneous Scanner Options Introduction This chapter includes features frequently used to customize how data transmits to the host. In addition to these bar codes for data formatting, see each host chapter for the appropriate host connections and features for the scanner. Also see Chapter 12, Symbologies and Chapter 14, Advanced Data Formatting for customizing data for transmission to the host device. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
13 - 2 Symbol LS2208 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 scanning several bar codes in sequence. See each individual parameter for descriptions of this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
Miscellaneous Scanner Options 13 - 3 Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters Transmit Code ID Character A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is 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. Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character.
13 - 4 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Prefix/Suffix Values You can append a prefix and/or suffix to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix: 1. Change the scan data format by scanning the appropriate Scan Data Transmission Format on page 13-4. 2. Scan the appropriate prefix/suffix bar code below. 3. Scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value. 4.

Chapter 14 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit your particular requirements. Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 14-6, or by installing the 123Scan2 utility (see Chapter 11, 123Scan2) which allows programming the scanner with ADF rules.
14 - 2 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before you start scanning. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule. Scan Begin New Rule on page 14-6. • Specify Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits “129”). See Criteria on page 14-9. • Specify Actions.

If you scan a Code 128 bar code of length 12, the THIRD rule would apply, and the SECOND rule would appear to not function. Note that using the standard data editing functions also creates ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them.
14 - 6 Symbol LS2208 Product Reference Guide Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with the Send Pause parameter on page 14-24 inserts a pause in the data transmission. To set the pause scan a two-digit number (i.e., two bar codes), to represent a 0.1 second interval. For example, scan bar codes 0 and 1 from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to insert a 0.1 second pause; scan 0 and 5 for a 0.5 second delay. To correct an error or to change a selection, scan Numeric Cancel on page D-3.
