Getting Start Programming Outline Introduction There are 3 ways to program user options: 1. Code Programming: special encoded barcodes to work on "read & set options" base; 2. Command Programming: a ASCII string, the Imager received from data cable as commands to set options; 3. QuickSet：a programming software exclusively use by Newland Auto-ID products. It displays decoded data and images captured. Programming work on "choose & set options" base from dialog windows.
PAGE 17
Getting Start Programming Outline Command Programming The Programming Command (Pro CMD) pairs a unique Programming Code. Sending commands to the Imager is identical with Code Programming. A full command is formed by [Start Symbol "nls" + Pro CMD = Parameters]. There are 4 ways to program a command: 1. "nls" + Pro CMD E.g. [nls0100060], set RS232 transmit Baud Rate to 38400bps 2. "nls" + Pro CMD = Decimal Parameter It is used to define parameter, such as Min Message Length. E.g.

Prefix/Suffix Intruducation 1D barcode message could contain digits, letters and symbols, etc. 2D barcode message could contain more data such as Chinese characters and other 2 bytes characters. Practically, barcode message is insufficient for usage. For example, the barcode format, the date or a “new line character” can be useful. Mostly these informations are not included in a barcode and thus to keep it short and flexible possible.

Message Intersect & Pack Introducation This chapter introduces Message Intersect & Pack. Message intersection only affects plain barcode message. Plain barcode message usually consists of several information sections. Sections may consist of several bytes and have specific indications such as merchandise ID, manufacturer and so on. Intersection can select section(s) required to transmit, and thus to skip other unnecessary sections in the result shown.

Message Intersect & Pack Message Intersect Tools Code Programming ON introduction » Code Programming OFF Intersection Rule No.1: only affects selected symbologies’ plain barcode message. Note that one intersection option affects all barcodes of the barcode format. » Intersection Rule No.2: Maximum 3 intersection options can be restored in the non-volatile memory. Inputting a new option works at “first in last out” manner. For example, there are 3 options restored in order: Code 128，Code 39，QR Code.

Message Intersect & Pack Message Intersect 1D, Program Intersect Option A command input consists of 3 decimals. The first input is for barcode format; Refer to “Symbologies ID Number”. The second input is for intersecting direction; “000” denotes ascending (left to right) and “001” denotes descending. The following 2 inputs are for start digital and end digital. For example, intersect EAN-13 from 1st digit to 3rd ascending and from reciprocal 4th to reciprocal 1st. 1. Read “Code Programming ON” 2.

Batch Programming Itruducation Batch Programming can integrate a programming sequence into one barcode. Batch Programming Rules: 1. Sub-command is in this format: Programming Command + Parameters 2. Sub-commands are terminated by semicolons. Note that there is no blank between a subcommand and its terminator semicolon. 3. “Save Programming”(0000160) to terminate 4. Use Barcode Generator software to make the 2D batch barcode.
