4-4 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Radio Communications Host Types To set up the scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan the appropriate host type bar code below. • Cradle Host (default) - Select this host type for scanner(s) to cradle operation. The scanner must then be paired to the cradle and the cradle communicates directly to the host via the host interface cable connection.
Radio Communications Radio Communications Host Types (continued) *Cradle Host Serial Port Profile (Master) Serial Port Profile (Slave) Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) 4-5
4-6 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Bluetooth Technology Profile Support With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.
Radio Communications 4-7 Bluetooth Friendly Name You can set a meaningful name for the scanner that appears in the application during device discovery. The default name is the scanner name followed by its serial number, e.g., LS3578 123456789ABCDEF. Scanning Set Defaults reverts the scanner to this name; use custom defaults to maintain the user-programmed name through a Set Defaults operation.
4-8 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide HID Host Parameters The scanner supports keyboard emulation over the Bluetooth HID profile. In this mode the scanner can interact with Bluetooth enabled hosts supporting the HID profile as a Bluetooth keyboard. Scanned data is transmitted to the host as keystrokes. Following are the keyboard parameters supported by the HID host.
Radio Communications HID Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes) Scan the bar code corresponding to the keyboard type.
4 - 10 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide HID Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes - continued) Swedish Windows UK English Windows Japanese Windows French Canadian Windows 2000/XP Portuguese/Brazilian Windows
Radio Communications 4 - 11 HID Keyboard Keystroke Delay This parameter sets the delay, in milliseconds, between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when the HID host requires a slower transmission of data. *No Delay (0 msec) Medium Delay (20 msec) Long Delay (40 msec) HID CAPS Lock Override When enabled, the case of the data is preserved regardless of the state of the caps lock key.
4 - 12 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide HID Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds.
Radio Communications 4 - 13 HID Keyboard FN1 Substitution When enabled, this parameter allows replacement of any FN1 character in an EAN128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user. See FN1 Substitution Values on page 5-15 to set the Key Category and Key Value. *Disable Keyboard FN1 Substitution Enable Keyboard FN1 Substitution HID Function Key Mapping ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control-key sequences.
4 - 14 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Simulated Caps Lock When enabled, the scanner inverts upper and lower case characters on the scanner bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the keyboard. This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard Caps Lock state. *Disable Simulated Caps Lock Enable Simulated Caps Lock Convert Case When enabled, the scanner converts all bar code data to the selected case.
Radio Communications 4 - 15 Auto-reconnect Feature When in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The scanner tries to reconnect for the period of time specified by the Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During that time the green LED continues to blink.
4 - 16 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Reconnect Attempt Interval When a scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect for the default time interval of 30 seconds. This time interval can be changed to one of the following options: • 30 seconds • 1 minute • 5 minutes • 30 minutes • 1 hour • Indefinitely.
Radio Communications 4 - 17 Reconnect Attempt Interval (continued) Attempt to Reconnect for 1 Hour Attempt to Reconnect Indefinitely
4 - 18 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Auto-reconnect in Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) Mode In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) mode, select a re-connect option for when the scanner loses its connection with a remote device: • Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code. With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters.
Radio Communications 4 - 19 Out of Range Indicator An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt on page 4-15 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-16. For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the scanner loses radio connection when it is taken out of range, the scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a Reconnect Attempt Interval.
4 - 20 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Scanner(s) To Cradle Support Modes of Operation The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to communicate wirelessly: • Point-to-Point • Multipoint-to-Point. Point-to-Point Communication In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time.
Radio Communications 4 - 21 Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only) When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual scanner only, and the scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other scanners or from the cradle.
4 - 22 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Pairing Modes When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported: • Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner (or to three scanners in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different scanner, by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled (page 4-23), is rejected. The currently connected scanner(s) maintain connection.
Radio Communications 4 - 23 Pairing Methods There are two pairing methods. The default method allows the scanner and cradle to pair (connect) when the pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the scanner and cradle when the scanner is inserted in the cradle. To enable this feature, scan Enable Pair On Contacts below. With this feature enabled it is not necessary to scan the pairing bar code on the cradle.
4 - 24 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Pairing Bar Code Format When the scanner is configured as an SPP Master, you must create a pairing bar code for the remote Bluetooth device to which the scanner can connect. You must know the Bluetooth address of the remote device. Pairing bar codes are Code 128 bar codes and are formatted as follows: Bxxxxxxxxxxxx where: • B (or LNKB) is the prefix • xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.
Radio Communications 4 - 25 • 24 hours • Indefinitely. Considerations The system administrator determines the Connection Maintenance Interval. A shorter interval allows new users to gain access to abandoned connections more quickly, but causes problems if users leave the work area for extended periods. A longer interval allows existing users to leave the work area for longer periods of time, but ties up the system for new users.
4 - 26 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Connection Maintenance Interval (continued) Set Interval to 4 Hours Set Interval to 8 Hours Set Interval to 24 Hours Set Interval to Forever
Radio Communications 4 - 27 Bluetooth Security The scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the scanner. When Authentication is requested, the scanner uses its programmed PIN code to generate a link key. The scanner stores this link key upon pairing, so you do not have to re-enter the PIN code when moving in and out of range, switching profiles, or switching between devices (e.g., between the cradle and the application).
4 - 28 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide PIN Code To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric programming bar codes from Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. The default PIN code is 12345. If the scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the scanner and cradle. To achieve this, connect the scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN codes.
Radio Communications 4 - 29 Encryption NOTE Authentication must be performed before Encryption can take effect. To set up the scanner for enabling Encryption, scan Enable Encryption. To prevent the scanner from enabling Encryption, scan Disable Encryption. When enabled, the radio encrypts data.

Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner to interface with an RS-232 host interface. The RS-232 interface is used to attach the cradle to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (i.e., COM port). If the particular host is not listed in Table 7-2, set the communication parameters to match the host device. Refer to the documentation for the host device.
7-2 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Connecting an RS-232 Interface This connection is made directly from the cradle to the host computer. Serial Port Connector to Host Interface cable Figure 7-1 RS-232 Direct Connection NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 7-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same.
RS-232 Interface 7-3 RS-232 Default Parameters Table 7-1 lists the defaults for RS-232 host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the parameter descriptions section beginning on page 7-4. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preference, host, symbology, and miscellaneous default parameters.
7-4 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide RS-232 Host Parameters Various RS-232 host types are set up with their own parameter default settings. Selecting the host type sets the parameter defaults as listed in Table 7-2.
RS-232 Interface 7-5 RS-232 Host Parameters (continued) Selecting the ICL, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, Olivetti, Omron, OPOS/JPOS or Fujitsu host type enables the transmission of code ID characters listed in Table 7-3. These code ID characters are not programmable and are separate from the Transmit Code ID feature. Do not enable the Transmit Code ID feature for these terminals.
7-6 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide RS-232 Host Types To select an RS-232 host type, scan one of the following bar codes.
RS-232 Interface 7-7 RS-232 Host Types (continued) OPOS/JPOS Fujitsu RS-232 Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the scanner’s baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.
7-8 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Baud Rate (continued) Baud Rate 4800 *Baud Rate 9600 Baud Rate 19,200 Baud Rate 38,400
RS-232 Interface 7-9 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 to set the parity bit value 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 to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
7 - 10 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Parity (continued) Select Space parity and the parity bit is always 0. Space Select None when no parity bit is required. *None Check Receive Errors Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.
RS-232 Interface 7 - 11 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.
7 - 12 Symbol LS3578 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). 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.
RS-232 Interface 7 - 13 Hardware Handshaking (continued) 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. RTS/CTS Option 1 RTS/CTS Option 2 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.
7 - 14 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Software Handshaking This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options. If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence. None When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from the host.
RS-232 Interface 7 - 15 Software Handshaking (continued) ENQ When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors. ENQ ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options.
7 - 16 Symbol LS3578 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. NOTE This parameter does not apply to the Wincor-Nixdorf RS-232 Mode A/B and the OPOS/JPOS host types. *Minimum: 2 sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.
RS-232 Interface 7 - 17 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 Point-to-Point Mode Only When this parameter is enabled, the scanner issues a beep when a character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. is issued to indicate an illegal entry or other important event. NOTE This parameter is not supported in Multipoint-to-Point Mode.
7 - 18 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.
RS-232 Interface 7 - 19 Nixdorf Mode A/B and OPOS/JPOS Beep/LED Options When Nixdorf Mode A, Nixdorf Mode B, or OPOS/JPOS is selected, this parameter indicates when the scanner should beep and turn on its LED after a decode. NOTE The Beep/LED After CTS Pulse option is not valid when Nixdorf Mode A is selected.
7 - 20 Symbol LS3578 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 sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner.

Chapter 12 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 particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 12-5, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 10, 123Scan) which allows the digital imager scanner to be setup and programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
12 - 2 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 12-5. • 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”).
