Chapter 9 Wand Emulation Interface Introduction This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with a wand emulation host when you need Wand Emulation communication. The digital scanner connects to an external wand decoder or to a decoder integrated in a mobile computer or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. In this mode the digital scanner emulates the signal of a digital wand to make it "readable" by a wand decoder. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
9-2 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Connecting Using Wand Emulation To perform Wand Emulation, connect the digital scanner to a mobile computer, or a controller which collects the wand data and interprets it for the host. Mobile Computer Wand Port Interface Cable Figure 9-1 Wand Emulation Connection NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 9-1 are examples only.
Wand Emulation Interface 9-3 Wand Emulation Parameter Defaults Table 9-1 lists the defaults for Wand Emulation host types. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in Wand Emulation Host Parameters on page 9-4. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
9-4 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Wand Emulation Host Parameters Wand Emulation Host Types Select a Wand Emulation host by scanning one of the bar codes below.
Wand Emulation Interface 9-5 Leading Margin (Quiet Zone) Scan a bar code below to select a leading margin duration. A leading margin is the time that precedes the first bar of the scan, in milliseconds. The minimum allowed value is 80 msec and the maximum is 250 msec. This parameter accommodates older wand decoders which cannot handle short leading margins. NOTE 250 msec is the maximum value that this parameter can attain, however, 200 msec is sufficient.
9-6 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Polarity Polarity determines how the digital scanner's Wand Emulation interface creates the Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). DBP is a digital signal that represents the scanned bar code. Different decoders expect the DBP in a certain format. The DBP either has the "highs" represent bars and the "lows" represent spaces (margins), or the "highs" represent spaces (margins) and the "lows" represent bars.
Wand Emulation Interface 9-7 Convert All Bar Codes to Code 39 By default, the Wand Emulation interface sends data to the attached host in the decoded symbology. This can be a problem for customers with older systems that do not recognize newer symbologies (for example, GS1 DataBar). Enable this parameter to ignore the decoded symbology, and transmit the data as a Code 39 bar code. Lowercase characters in the original data stream transmit as uppercase characters. This also allows ADF Formatting.
9-8 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Convert Code 39 to Full ASCII By default, a space replaces characters that do not have a corresponding character in the Code 39 symbology set. Enable this parameter to encode data sent to the wand Interface in Code 39 Full ASCII. This setting requires that the host be able to interpret Code 39 Full ASCII data. This setting applies only if you enabled Convert to Code 39.
Chapter 10 Keyboard Wedge Interface Introduction This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the digital scanner. With this interface, the digital scanner is connected between the keyboard and host computer, and translates bar code data into keystrokes.

Chapter 15 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF to edit scan data to suit particular requirements. To implement ADF, scan a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 15-7, or install the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 12, 123Scan) which allows programming the digital scanner with ADF rules. Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters.
15 - 2 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner 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 15-7. • Specify 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”). See Criteria on page 15-10.
Advanced Data Formatting 15 - 3 Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule Step Bar Code On Page Beep Indication 1 Begin New Rule 15-7 High High 2 Code 128 15-10 High High 3 Send next 5 characters 15-27 High High 4 Send 15-47 High High 5 Send next 5 characters 15-27 High High 6 Send 15-47 High High 7 Send next 2 characters 15-26 High High 8 Send 15-46 High High 9 Save Rule 15-8 High Low High Low Rule 2: The UPC Scanning Rule Step Bar Code On Page
15 - 4 Symbol DS6708 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide and the cashier keys the price manually. To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. 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, send the data that remains, send the Enter key. The “sale” rule may look like this: Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2.
Advanced Data Formatting 15 - 5 Note that using the standard data editing functions also creates ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the digital scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 4-15. These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order you create them is also important. Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data.
