Chapter 6 User Preferences Overview This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features. Host Selection Select a host type according to the pinout information in Table 4-2 on page 4-3 (connecting pins 4 and 8).
6-2 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide NOTE Most computer monitors allow capturing the bar codes directly on the screen. When capturing from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging. To return all features to default values, capture Set Default Parameter on page 6-3. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).
User Preferences 6-3 User Preferences Parameter Defaults Table 6-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. To change any parameter value, capture the appropriate bar code(s) provided in User Preferences on page 6-3. NOTE Table 6-1 See Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
6-4 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Parameter Scanning Parameter # ECh To disable decoding of parameter bar codes, capture the Disable Parameter Scanning bar code below. Note that you can still decode the Set Defaults parameter bar code. To enable decoding of parameter bar codes, capture either Enable Parameter Scanning or Set All Defaults.
User Preferences Beeper Volume Parameter # 8Ch To select a beeper volume, capture the Low Volume, Medium Volume, or High Volume bar code.
6-6 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Trigger Mode Parameter # 8Ah • Level - A trigger event activates decode processing, which continues until the trigger event ends, a valid decode, or the decode session time-out is reached. • Presentation Mode - When the Symbol MS440X detects an object in its field of view it triggers and attempt to decode. The range of object detection does not vary under normal lighting conditions. This applies to decode mode only.
User Preferences 6-7 Picklist Mode Parameter # F0h 92h Picklist mode enables the imager to decode only bar codes that are aligned under the laser crosshair. Select one of the following picklist modes for the imager: • Disabled Always (default) - Picklist mode is always disabled. • Enabled Out of Scanstand - Picklist mode is enabled when the imager is out of Scanstand mode and disabled when the imager is in Scanstand mode. • Enabled Always- Picklist mode is always enabled.
6-8 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Power Mode Parameter # 80h This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt. In low power mode, the imager enters into a low power consumption mode to preserve battery life after each decode attempt. In continuous power mode, power remains on after each decode attempt. *Continuous On (00h) Low Power Mode (01h) Time Delay to Low Power Mode Parameter # 92h This parameter sets the time the imager remains active after decoding.
User Preferences 6-9 Time Delay to Low Power Mode (continued) 1 Minute (21h) 5 Minutes (25h) 15 Minutes (2Bh) 1 Hour (31h) Decode Session Timeout Parameter # 88h This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a decode attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds. To set a Decode Session Timeout, capture the bar code below.
6 - 10 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol Parameter # 89h This option is used in presentation mode to prevent multiple reads of a symbol left in the Symbol MS440X field of view. The timeout begins when the symbol is removed from the field of view. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default interval is 0.6 seconds.
User Preferences 6 - 11 Presentation Mode Session Timeout Parameter # F0h, 90h To set the duration of the attempt to decode a bar code detected in presentation mode, capture the bar code below. Next, capture three numeric bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes to select a value between 1 and 255 that represents tenths of a second. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example, to set 0.5 seconds, capture the bar code below, then capture the 0, 0, 5 bar codes.

Chapter 7 Imager Preferences Overview This chapter describes imager preference features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. The imager ships with the settings shown in the Imager Preferences Default Table on page 7-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. There are two ways to change a parameter value: • Capture the appropriate bar codes in this guide.
7-2 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Imaging Sequence Examples In most cases capturing one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to disable the decode aiming pattern, capture the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code listed under Decode Aiming Pattern on page 7-7. For systems that use a beeper and LED, a fast warble beep sounds and the LED lights, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Crop to Pixel Address, require capturing several bar codes.

7-4 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Imager Preferences The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot. Operational Modes The imager has three modes of operation: • Decode Mode • Snapshot Mode • Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode • Video Mode. Decode Mode By default, upon a trigger event, the imager attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view.
Imager Preferences 7-5 Video Mode In this mode the imager behaves as a video camera as long as the trigger is active. When the trigger is released, the imager returns to Decode Mode. Capture this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode. Snapshot Mode Video Mode Focus Mode Parameter # F0h, A6h Select the focus mode to control the working range of the imager. If Far Focus is selected, the imager is optimized to read at its far position.
7-6 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Decoding Autoexposure Parameter # F0h,29h Select Enable Decoding Autoexposure to allow the imager to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation mode. Select Disable Decoding Autoexposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time (see Gain and Exposure Time on the following pages). This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image capture situations.
Imager Preferences 7-7 Decode Aiming Pattern Parameter # F0h, 32h This parameter only applies when in Decode Mode. Select Enable Decode Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern during bar code capture, or Disable Decode Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off.
7-8 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide DPM Scanning Parameter # F1h, 09h Unlike bar codes that are typically printed on labels, a direct part mark (DPM) is a symbol that is marked directly on an item’s surface for permanent identification. These symbols are marked using methods such as laser etching and dot peening (see Figure 3-2 on page 3-2 for an example of a dot peen symbol). The DS3407-DP (DPM) digital reader scans these types of symbols.
Imager Preferences 7-9 Image Capture Autoexposure Parameter # F0h, 68h Select Enable Autoexposure to allow the imager to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation mode. Select Disable Autoexposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time (see Gain and Exposure Time on the following pages). This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image capture situations.
7 - 10 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Gain Parameter # F4h, F0h, A7h This parameter only applies when Decoding or Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data before it is converted into 256 grayscale values. Increasing the gain increases brightness and contrast, but also increases noise (undesired electrical fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less attractive and/or harder to decode.
Imager Preferences 7 - 11 Exposure Time Parameter # F4h, F0h, 38h This parameter is only available when Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Exposure Time controls the amount of time the CCD is allowed to collect light, much like the shutter speed for a camera. Generally, the brighter the environment, the lower the exposure time. Set the manual exposure time to one of the following values: 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms, or 30 ms.

Chapter 8 SSI Interface Overview This chapter describes the system requirements of the Simple Serial Interface (SSI), which provides a communications link between Motorola decoders (e.g., scan engines, slot scanners, hand-held scanners, two-dimensional scanners, hands-free scanners, and RF base stations) and a serial host. It provides the means for the host to control the decoder or scanner.
8-2 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Table 8-1 lists all the SSI Opcodes supported by the decoder. It identifies the SSI partner allowed to send a message of each type. The host transmits Opcodes designated type H. The decoder transmits type D Opcodes, and either partner can transmit Host/Decoder (H/D) types. Table 8-1 SSI Commands Name Type Opcode Description AIM_OFF H 0xC4 Deactivate aim pattern. AIM_ON H 0xC5 Activate aim pattern. BEEP H 0xE6 Sound the beeper.
SSI Interface 8-3 SSI Transactions General Data Transactions ACK/NAK Handshaking ACK/NAK handshaking may be enabled or disabled. If this parameter is set, all packeted messages must have a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK response, unless the command description states otherwise. This parameter is enabled by default. This handshaking should remain enabled to provide feedback to the host. Raw decode data and WAKEUP do not use ACK/NAK handshaking since they are not packeted data.
8-4 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide ACK/NAK Enabled and Packeted Data The decoder sends a DECODE_DATA message after a successful decode. The decoder waits for a programmable time-out for a CMD_ACK response. If it does not receive the response, the decoder tries to send two more times before issuing a host transmission error. If the decoder receives a CMD_NAK from the host, it may attempt a retry depending on the cause field of the CMD_NAK message.
SSI Interface 8-5 ACK/NAK Disabled and Unpacketed ASCII Data Data captured by the decoder is sent to the host. Decoder (1) Data is captured by decoder Host ASCII data sent Communication Summary RTS/CTS Lines All communication must use RTS/CTS handshaking as described in the Simple Serial Interface Programmer’s Guide, p/n 72-40451-xx.
8-6 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Retries When sending data, the host should resend twice after the initial send if the decoder does not respond with an ACK or NAK (if ACK/NAK handshaking is enabled), or response data (e.g., PARAM_SEND, REPLY_REVISION). If the decoder replies with a NAK RESEND, the host resends the data. All resent messages must have the resend bit set in the Status byte.
SSI Interface 8-7 Selecting Time Delay to Low Power Mode using SSI Time Delay to Low Power Mode on page 6-8 provides bar codes to select a general time delay. To program a more specific delay value, use an SSI command according to Table 8-2.
8-8 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Simple Serial Interface Default Parameters This section describes how to set up the decoder with a SSI host. When SSI is used, the decoder is programmed via bar code menu or SSI hosts commands. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

SSI Interface 8 - 13 Parity Parameter # 9Eh 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 has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits is contained in the coded character. • Select Even parity and the parity bit has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits is contained in the coded character.
8 - 14 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Check Parity Parameter # 97h Select whether or not to check the parity of received characters. Use the Parity parameter to select the type of parity. *Do Not Check Parity (00h) Check Parity (01h) Software Handshaking Parameter # 9Fh This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to that offered by hardware handshaking. Hardware handshaking is always enabled and cannot be disabled by the user.
SSI Interface 8 - 15 Host RTS Line State Parameter # 9Ah This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, the decoder can be used in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication software on a host PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 8-15).
8 - 16 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Stop Bit Select Parameter # 9Dh The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving (host) device for the next character in the serial data stream. Set the number of stop bits (one or two) to match host device requirements.
SSI Interface 8 - 17 Host Serial Response Time-out Parameter # 9Bh This parameter specifies how long the decoder waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the decoder wants to send, and the host has already been granted permission to send, the decoder waits for the designated time-out before declaring an error. To set the delay period (options are 2, 5, 7.5, or 9,9 seconds), scan one of the following bar codes. NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.
8 - 18 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Host Character Time-out Parameter # EFh This parameter determines the maximum time the decoder waits between characters transmitted by the host before discarding the received data and declaring an error. To set the delay period (options are 200, 500, 750, or 990 ms), scan one of the following bar codes. NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.
SSI Interface 8 - 19 Multipacket Option Parameter # F0h, 4Eh This parameter controls ACK/NAK handshaking for multi-packet transmissions. • Multi-Packet Option 1: The host sends an ACK / NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet transmission. • Multi-Packet Option 2: The decoder sends data packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK handshaking to pace the transmission. The host, if overrun, can use hardware handshaking to temporarily delay decoder transmissions.
8 - 20 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Event Reporting The host can request the decoder to provide certain information (events) relative to the decoder’s behavior. Enable or disable the events listed in Table 8-4 and on the following pages by scanning the appropriate bar codes.
SSI Interface 8 - 21 Boot Up Event Parameter # F0h, 02h When enabled, the decoder generates a message to the host whenever power is applied. When disabled, no notification is sent. Enable Boot Up Event (01h) *Disable Boot Up Event (00h) Parameter Event Parameter # F0h, 03h When enabled, the decoder generates a message to the host when one of the events specified in Table 8-4 on page 8-20 occurs. When disabled, no notification is sent.

Chapter 11 Symbologies Overview This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The imager is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 11-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
11 - 2 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Imaging Sequence Examples In most cases, capturing one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply capture the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 11-14. The imager issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require capturing several bar codes.

11 - 76 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide Intercharacter Gap Size Parameter # F0h, 7Dh The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the imager from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, capture the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.
Symbologies 11 - 77 Macro PDF Features Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The imager can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 Macro PDF symbols. CAUTION When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data.
