Chapter 3 Operation Introduction This chapter covers how to use the Phaser scanner. Default Applications The Memory Phaser is shipped from the factory with two ready to use default applications: • Scan and Transmit • Batch / Inventory These applications allow users to scan and view data, enter quantities, manually enter data, and much more. When the unit is powered up, it displays the system start-up banner. Alternatively, the scanner can be reset manually by pressing the key, then the <*> key.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Initial Powerup After a few seconds, the System Banner is replaced by the system initialization screen. Symbol Technologies Initializing... After initialization, the scanner enters either the Scan & Transmit mode, or the Batch/ Inventory mode, depending on whether a communications cable is present or not.
Operation Numeric Data Entry The default application also allows you to manually enter data if no bar code is present. By default, this feature is enabled. To disable alphanumeric data entry via the keypad, go to the symbologies tab inside 123Scan and remove the “X” from the check box next to “Keypad”. (This does not disable the quantity entry feature discussed in Eliminating Repetitive Scanning on page 3-4.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Eliminating Repetitive Scanning To eliminate repetitive scanning of identical items, you can enter a quantity prior to scanning a bar code. This quantity entry feature can also be used when manually entering bar code data. To enter a quantity, press the * key.

P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Scanning The scanner ships with the default application and default parameters that is ready-to-use right out of the box. If this is not what you need for your application, refer to the MCL Designer Manual for programming instructions and Chapter 5, Parameter Menus for scanning and communications parameters. If you need assistance, contact your local supplier or Symbol Support Center. 1.
Operation Right Wrong Hold at an Angle 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 strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone.” You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and still achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Higher security levels are selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases. Select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality. Note: Does not apply to Code 128.
Parameter Menus Linear Security Level 3 Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times: Code Type Length MSI Plessey 4 or less D 2 of 5 8 or less I 2 of 5 8 or less LINEAR SECURITY LEVEL 3 Linear Security Level 4 All code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Bi-directional Redundancy This parameter is only valid when a Linear Code Type Security Level (see page 5-78) is enabled. When this parameter is enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before being decoded.
Parameter Menus UPC/EAN Security Level The Phaser 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.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide UPC/EAN SECURITY LEVEL 2 UPC/EAN Security Level 3 If you have tried Security Level 2, and are still experiencing misdecodes, select this security level. Be advised that 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. If this level of security is necessary, you should try to improve the quality of your bar codes.
Parameter Menus RS-232 Parameters Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. The scanner'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.

Parameter Menus Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. If you select ODD parity, the parity bit has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character. ODD If you select EVEN parity, the parity bit has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Select SPACE parity and the parity bit is always 0. SPACE If no parity is required, select NONE. *NONE Check Receive Errors Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The type of parity used is selectable through the PARITY parameter.
Parameter Menus Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port. The port has been designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, RTS, Request to Send, and CTS, Clear to Send. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence: • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to two seconds for the host to negate the CTS line.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. *NONE Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. STANDARD RTS/CTS When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the cradle asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner deasserts RTS when the transmission is complete.
Parameter Menus When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within two seconds (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. RTS/CTS OPTION 2 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 two seconds (default) for CTS to be asserted.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the cradle expects either an ACK, Acknowledge, or NAK, Negative Acknowledge, response from the host. Whenever a NAK is received, the cradle 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 cradle issues an error indication and discards the data.
Parameter Menus ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF, Transmit Off, character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON, Transmit On, 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 then waits for an XON character before transmission. The scanner waits up to two seconds to receive the XON.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners 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. The default time is set to 2 seconds. The delay period can range from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second increments.
Parameter Menus 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 (one or two) selected depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Beep on When this parameter is enabled, the scanner beeps when a character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. is issued to gain a user's attention to indicate an illegal entry or other important event.
