A detailed description of each component in the block diagram is also provided. Interface Board Beeper External Beeper Interface Circuit DB9 flex MS-XX04 = RS232 MS-XX07 = TTL-RS232, Synapse, USB flex Interface Scan Engine Red/ Green LED External Trigger Figure 1-2.
Introduction Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the intended host. It also contains a beeper and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and external beeper. • The MS-1204/2204 interface board converts TTL level SSI signals to proper RS-232 levels for connection to any RS-232 compliant host. • The MS-1207/2207 interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse, USB, or TTL level RS-232.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Scanning Patterns The MiniScan generates different scanning patterns based on the software command received at the interface. The patterns are Smart Raster and Single Scan Line (standard and high density). The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF symbols. Smart Raster Scan Pattern (MS-220X only) The MS-220X can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature.
Introduction Single Scan Line Standard Single Scan Line (MS-120X versions) The MS-120X scanner emits a single scan line to quickly decode quality 1D bar codes. Figure 1-4. Single Scan Line Scan Pattern High Density Single Scan Line (MS-220X versions) The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes. Figure 1-5.

Usable Scan Length Diagram Testing The Usable Scan Length Method Due to the variety of symbol sizes, densities, print quality, etc., there is no simple way to calculate the ideal symbol distance. To optimize performance, use the Testing The Usable Scan Length positioning method: 1. Measure the maximum and minimum distances at which the symbols can be read. 2. Check the near and far range on several symbols.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide 4. Center the symbol (left to right) in the scan line whenever possible. 5. Position the symbol so that the scan line is as near as possible to perpendicular to the bars and spaces in the symbol. 6. Avoid specular reflection (glare) off the symbol by tilting the top or bottom of the symbol away from the scanner.

Chapter 7 Scanning Overview This chapter provides information on scanning and the various triggering options. Scanning Tips When scanning, make sure the symbol to be scanned is within the scanning range. See Calculating The Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-14. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful decode. Scan the Entire Symbol • The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Position at an Angle Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode. Triggering Options Continuous (Default) The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. The scanner can be configured to scan and transmit a bar code, and then not decode the same bar code or any bar code for a set period of time.
Scanning Pulse Trigger The laser is enabled and decode processing begins when the trigger line is activated. Decode processing continues regardless of the trigger line until a good decode occurs, or until the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing is complete. The next decode attempt will not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.

MS-120X and MS-220X Integration 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. 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 None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. *None 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 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).
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide RTS/CTS Option 3 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 the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.
RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. 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: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission.
RS-232 Interface 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 an ACK/NAK Software Handshaking mode or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking is enabled. *Minimum: 2 Sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide 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 When this parameter is enabled, the scanner issues a beep when a character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. is issued to gain a user's attention to an illegal entry or other important event.
RS-232 Interface Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Nixdorf Beep/LED Options When Nixdorf Mode B is selected, this indicates when the scanner beeps and turns on its LED after a decode.
RS-232 Interface 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. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character, then four (error) beeps sound on the scanner.

Chapter 12 123Scan (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Introduction 123Scan is a Windows®-based utility for the MS-1207 and MS-2207 only, that enables programming these scanners with all parameters, including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to ensure compatibility between this data and the host application, so there is no need to modify the host software.
MiniScan Family of Scanners Integration Guide 123Scan Parameter To communicate with the 123Scan program, install 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto the PC and scan the bar code below. Refer to 123Scan instructions for programming the scanner. Note: Scanning this bar code enables the 123Scan interface on the scanner.
Chapter 13 Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to a 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 13-8, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 12) which allows the MiniScan scanner to be programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length criteria is not met. The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs. 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 13-8. • Criteria.
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules for scan data. An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes applied by the manufacturer.

Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily you would send this data as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, you may want to send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) and the cashier keys the price manually.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example: When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1. It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 13-11 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software can have one or more default rules. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable default rules, enter the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data. Since this rule always applies, ADF never goes into the default rules.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with Send Pause on page 13-28 inserts a pause in the data transmission. To set a pause, which is measured in 0.1 second intervals, scan a two-digit number (i.e., two numeric bar codes). For example, scanning bar codes 0 and 1 inserts a 0.1 second pause; 0 and 5 inserts a 0.5 second delay. Numeric bar codes begin on page 9-144. To change the selection or to cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel on page 9146.
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-1207/MS-2207 Only) Save Rule Scan this bar code to save the entered rule. Save Rule Erase Use these bar codes to erase criteria, actions, or rules.

Glossary Aperture An opening which limits the amount of light or radiation passing through an optical system. ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S. Autodiscrimination The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content can be decoded.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Byte On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character. CDRH Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety.
Glossary Code 3 of 9 (Code 39) A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9, and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and space). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow. Code 93 An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide EAN European Article Number. This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards. Element dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail. Element Generic term for a bar or space. Encoded Area Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern, including start/stop characters and data.
Glossary LASER - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb. Laser light is typically coherent and has a high energy density. Laser Diode A gallium-arsenide semiconductor type of laser connected to a power source to generate a laser beam. This laser type is a compact source of coherent light.
MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide Print Contrast Signal (PCS) Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars and spaces of a symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars. Programming Mode The state in which a scanner is configured for parameter values. See Scanning Mode.
