RS-232 Host Interface 6-21 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.
6-22 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide 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 deasserts RTS when the transmission is complete.
RS-232 Host Interface 6-23 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. If CTS is not asserted within 2 seconds (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. RTS/CTS Option 2 RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS.
6-24 Symbol LS7708 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.
RS-232 Host Interface 6-25 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.
6-26 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide 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 2 seconds for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. XOFF is received during a transmission.
RS-232 Host Interface 6-27 Host Serial Response Time-out (continued) Low: 2.
6-28 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Host Serial Response Time-out (continued) High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.

10-12 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Check Receive Errors (continued) Do Not Check For Received Errors 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.
RS-232 Auxiliary Port 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 deasserts RTS when the transmission is complete.
10-14 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide 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. If CTS is not asserted within 2 seconds (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. RTS/CTS Option 2 RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS.
RS-232 Auxiliary Port 10-15 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.
10-16 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide 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.
RS-232 Auxiliary Port 10-17 Software Handshaking (continued) 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 2 seconds for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

Symbologies 13-77 Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5 (continued) Any Length - Scanning this option allows decoding of D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner capability. Note Due to the construction of the D 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is actually encoded in the bar code.
13-78 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Codabar (NW - 7) Enable/Disable Codabar To enable or disable Codabar, scan the appropriate bar code below. Enable Codabar *Disable Codabar When a large gap bar code is encountered, see Symbology - Intercharacter Gap on page 13-94.
Symbologies 13-79 Set Lengths for Codabar The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Lengths for Codabar may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. Note When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.
13-80 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Set Lengths for Codabar (continued) Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows decoding of only those Codabar symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes beginning on page D-1 in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Codabar symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Codabar - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4.
Symbologies 13-81 Set Lengths for Codabar (continued) Any Length - Scanning this option allows decoding of Codabar symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner capability.
13-82 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide CLSI Editing When enabled, this parameter strips the start and stop characters and inserts a space after the first, fifth, and tenth characters of a 14-character Codabar symbol. Enable this feature if the host system requires this data format. Symbol length does not include start and stop characters.
Symbologies 13-83 NOTIS Editing When enabled, this parameter strips the start and stop characters from a decoded Codabar symbol. Enable this feature if the host system requires this data format.
13-84 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide RSS (Reduced Space Symbology) The variants of RSS are RSS 14, RSS Expanded, and RSS Limited. The limited and expanded versions have stacked variants. Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable each variant of RSS.
Symbologies 13-85 RSS Limited Enable RSS Limited *Disable RSS Limited
13-86 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide RSS Expanded *Enable RSS Expanded Disable RSS Expanded
Symbologies 13-87 Convert RSS to UPC/EAN This parameter only applies to RSS-14 and RSS Limited symbols not decoded as part of a Composite symbol. When this conversion is enabled, RSS-14 and RSS Limited symbols encoding a single zero as the first digit have the leading '010' stripped and the bar code reported as EAN-13. Bar codes beginning with two or more zeros but not six zeros have the leading '0100' stripped and the bar code reported as UPC-A.
13-88 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Symbology - Specific Security Levels Redundancy Level The Symbol LS7708 offer four levels of decode redundancy. Higher redundancy levels are selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As redundancy levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases. Select the redundancy level appropriate for the bar code quality. Redundancy Level 1 The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded: Table 13-2.
Symbologies 13-89 Redundancy Level 2 The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded: Table 13-3. Redundancy Level 2 Code Types Code Type All Length All Redundancy Level 2 Redundancy Level 3 Level 3 ensures that the enabled linear bar code types are read twice before reporting a good decode. The following codes must be read three times: Table 13-4.
13-90 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Redundancy Level 4 The following code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded: Table 13-5.
Symbologies 13-91 Security Level The Symbol LS7708 offer four levels of decode security for the delta bar codes. These include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN, Code 93 and Scanlet. 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. Security Level 0 This is the default setting.
13-92 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Security Level (continued) Security Level 2 Choose 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 misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level of security may significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner.
Symbologies 13-93 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.
13-94 Symbol LS7708 Product Reference Guide Symbology - Intercharacter Gap The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is customarily quite small. Due to various bar code-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-ofspecification barcodes.
