Scanning Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. The scanner can be tilted up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-3). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. 65° 65° Figure 2-3.
PAGE 36
2-8 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional IntelliStand adds greater flexibility to the scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand it operates in its normal hand-held mode. Adjust angle of scanner “cup” Scanner “Cup” Adjust height of IntelliStand Figure 2-4.

PAGE 57
User Preferences Trigger Mode (continued) Two Stage - Option 1 When the trigger is pulled, an aiming dot appears. This aiming dot remains while the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is released, the aiming dot automatically turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs or a decode occurs. If the trigger is pulled again while in a decode session, the scanner beam returns to an aiming dot.
PAGE 58
4-10 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Aim Duration When the scanner is in Level trigger mode (default mode), Aim Duration sets the amount of time the aiming dot is seen before turning into a scanning beam. This parameter has no affect when the scanner is in either of the Two Stage trigger modes. See Trigger Mode on page 4-8 for a description of each of the trigger modes. The aim duration is programmable in 0.1 second increments, from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default Aim Duration is 0.0 seconds.

RS-232 Interface Introduction This chapter provides RS-232 host information for setting up the scanner. The RS-232 interface is used to attach the scanner 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 6-2, set the communication parameters to match the host device. To set communication parameters for hosts not listed, refer to the documentation for the host device.
PAGE 92
6-4 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Connecting an RS-232 Interface This connection is made directly from the scanner to the host computer. Serial Port Connector to Interface Power supply Figure 6-1. RS-232 Direct Connection Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same. 1.
PAGE 93

RS-232 Interface Baud Rate (continued) Baud Rate 4800 *Baud Rate 9600 Baud Rate 19,200 Baud Rate 38,400 6-11
PAGE 100
6-12 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide 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 with the parity bit value set 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 with the parity bit value set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
PAGE 101
RS-232 Interface 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 the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.
PAGE 102
6-14 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide 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.
PAGE 103
RS-232 Interface 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.
PAGE 104
6-16 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Hardware Handshaking (continued) 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.
PAGE 105
RS-232 Interface Hardware Handshaking (continued) 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 Host Serial Response Time-out (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.
PAGE 106
6-18 WLS 8400 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 host.
PAGE 107
RS-232 Interface 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.
PAGE 108
6-20 WLS 8400 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. 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.

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 the particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 10-9 which allows the scanner to be setup and programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions In ADF, data is customized through rules.
PAGE 220
10-4 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide • Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 10-9. This places the rule in the “top” position in the rule buffer. • In case of errors made during this process, some special-purpose bar codes may be useful: Erase Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again, Erase Previously Saved Rule, etc. Criteria, actions, and entire rules may be erased by scanning the appropriate bar code (see page 10-10).

10-6 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily, data is sent as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) and the cashier keys the price manually. To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation.
PAGE 223
Advanced Data Formatting The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example, the rule may look like this: 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 the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 10-11 be scanned after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.
PAGE 224
10-8 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order of their creation is also important. Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. Default rules can be disabled by entering the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data.
PAGE 225
Advanced Data Formatting Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with the Send Pause parameter on page 10-33 allows a pause to be inserted in the data transmission. Pauses are set by scanning a two-digit number (i.e., two bar codes), and are measured in 0.1 second intervals. For example, scanning bar codes “0” and “1” inserts a 0.1 second pause; “0” and “5” gives a 0.5 second delay. Numeric bar codes begin on page D-1 in Chapter D, Numeric Bar Codes.

GL-2 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide 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. Aspect Ratio The ratio of symbol height to symbol length in a 2dimensional symbol. Autodiscrimination The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code.
PAGE 373
Glossary Bar Width Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar (see X Dimension). Baud Rate A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second. When one bit is the standard "event," this is a measure of bits per second (bps). For example, a baud rate of 50 means transmission of 50 bits of data per second.

GL-4 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide CDRH Class 2 No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class poses no danger for unintentional direct human exposure. Character A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message. Character Set Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.
PAGE 375
Glossary Code 93 An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39. Code Length Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those characters. Codeword As a symbol character value, this is an intermediate level of coding between source data and the graphical encodation in the symbol.

Glossary Decoder An electronic package that receives the signals from the scanning function, performs the algorithm to interpret the signals into meaningful data and provides the interface to other devices. Density Describes the relative amount of memory contained in a radio frequency identification tag (see Bar Code Density). Depth of Field The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum element width.
PAGE 378
GL-8 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Encoded Area Total linear dimension occupied by all characters of a code pattern, including start/stop characters and data. Error Correction A reader or decoder's use of mathematical schemes to reconstruct or replace damaged or missing symbol characters to enable the reading of the symbol data.
PAGE 379
Glossary IEC (825) Class 1 This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 120 seconds of laser operation within any 1000 second window and an automatic laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails. Intercharacter Gap The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete code. Interleaved 2 of 5 A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups of five bars and five interleaved spaces.

GL-10 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide MIL 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch; a unit of measure often used to quantify bar code printing and scanning dimensions. Misread (Misdecode) A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader or interface controller does not agree with the data encoded within a bar code symbol. Module (1) The narrowest nominal width unit of measure in a symbol. In certain symbologies, element widths are specified as multiples of 1 module.
PAGE 381
Glossary Omnidirectional Bar codes read in any orientation relative to the scanner. Optical Throw The distance from the scanner face to the closest point at which symbol can be read; also, optical throw is the difference between range and depth of field. Orientation The alignment of the symbol's scan path. Two possible orientations are horizontal with vertical bars and spaces (picket fence) and vertical with horizontal bars and spaces (ladder).

GL-12 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Postnet Code Code developed by the U.S. Postal Service to assist in the automatic sorting of mail. 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.
PAGE 383
Glossary Scanner An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are: 1. Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) illuminates a bar code. 2. Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light (more light reflected from spaces). 3. Signal conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector output into a digitized bar pattern.

GL-14 WLS 8400 Product Reference Guide Symbol A scannable unit that encodes data within the conventions of a certain symbology, usually including start/stop characters, quiet zones, data characters, and check characters. Symbol Aspect Ratio The ratio of symbol height to symbol width. Symbol Density The number of data characters per unit length; usually expressed as characters per inch (CPI). Symbol Height The distance between the outside edges of the quiet zones of the first row and the last row.
PAGE 385
Glossary Variable Length Code A code with a number of encoded characters within a range, as opposed to a code with a fixed number of encoded characters. Vertical Bar Code A bar code pattern presented in such orientation that the symbol from start to stop is perpendicular to the horizon. The individual bars are in an array appearing as rungs of a ladder. Visible Laser Diode (VLD) A solid state device which produces visible laser light.
