Programming the Reader
Product Reference Guide
9
Advances in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve the
illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency.
See "Interface Selection" on page 13 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets
by
model type.
Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Barcodes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface barcode, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming barcode labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Using
Barcodes" starting on page 17.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 16, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require
the reader to be placed in Programming
Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming
Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before
scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit
Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available for download
from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting
configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These
commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface, or they can be
printed as barcodes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a soft
ware upgrade for the connected device (see the
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
Software Configuration Strings
The reader can also be configured by using command strings. These strings can be sent via the
RS232/USB-COM interface using a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal.
Refer to Chapter 4 in this manual, "Software Configuration Strings," for configuration procedures
using Serial Strings sent by the Host."

Installing the Interface Cable
RS-232 Serial Connection
Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port via the
RS-232 cable, as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the
Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply
(AC Adapter). Plug the AC
Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter
plug into a standard power outlet.
Figure 1. RS-232 Connection
USB Connection
Connect the reader to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the USB cable for the interface type
you ordered. Reference Figure 2.
Figure 2. USB connection
Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connec-
tors illustrated above are examples only. A
ctual connectors may vary from
those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader remain the same.
Interface Selection
Product Reference Guide
13
Interface Selection
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1
starting on page 14 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example, RS-232
or USB). Scan the appropriate barcode in that section to conf
igure your system’s correct
interface type.
Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:
GFS4150-9 Model GFS4170 Model
• RS-232-STD
• RS-232 Wincor-Nixdorf
• USB-COM, USB-KBD, USB_KBD-ALT,
USB-
KBD-Apple
Setting the Interface
Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface type
matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding
section in this manual (also listed in Table 1 starting on page 14) to configure any desired
settings and features associated with that interface.
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections
require that you scan only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan
an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an interface selection barcode.
Some interfaces require the scanner to star
t in the disabled state when
powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this
state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will
change to a state that allows programming with barcodes.

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x01-
0xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following
the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides
options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets"
below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology"on
page 45). If you wish to program the reader to always
include an industry standard label
identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature "Global AIM ID"on page 43.
See Label ID, starting on page 244 of “References” for more information on setting this feature.
Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets
The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. See Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets, starting on
page 244 for details on the USA set and the EU set.
CAUTION
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configu-
ration settings, including the host interf
ace type, will be erased and set to
the standard factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults
will be lost.

Chapter 4
Software Configuration Strings
RS-232 models (as well as USB models with the USB-COM Interface selected) can be
configured using the serial strings contained in this chapter.
To configure RS-232 models by using the configuration strings:
1. Connect your reader to a PC RS-232 port according to the information in Installing the
Interface Cable, starting on page 12. Set the PC serial port to the default RS-232 commu-
nication parameters (see Standard Defaults, starting on page 263).
To configure the reader using configuration strings you must
enter Service Mode, which automatically sets the reader commu-
nication to 115200 baud rate. You must therefore set the host
acc
ordingly for RS-232 communications. Upon exiting Service
Mode, the programmed baud rate will be restored.
2. Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface (Custom)
Default string to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.
3. Send all the necessary command strings accord
ing to your application's requirements.
To configure USB models (only for USB-COM Interface) by using the configuration strings:
USB models by default have the USB-KBD Interface selected and
are easily configured by reading the barcodes in
Setting the
Interface, starting on page 13
.
1. Download and install the USB-COM driver from www.scanning.datalogic.com .
2. Connect your reader to a PC USB port according to the information in Installing the
Interface Cable, starting on page 12.
3. Change the interface to USB-COM by reading the barcode below.
USB-COM
4. Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface (Custom)
Default strin
g to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.
5. Send all the necessary command strings accord
ing to your application's requirements.

Chapter 5
References
This section contains explanations and examples of selected barcode features. See the
Configuration section for the actual barcode labels used to configure the reader.
RS-232 Parameters
RS-232 Only
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to
match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate setting, data may
not reach the host correctly.
Stop Bits
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.
Parity
This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity check bit is the
most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.
• Select None when no parity bit is required.
• Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an
odd number of 1 bi
ts are contained in the coded character.
• Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an
e
ven number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
Handshaking Control
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). Handshaking
Control includes the following options:
• RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
References
234
Gryphon™ I GFS4170/GFS4150-9
• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and
XOFF gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions and
controls enable and disable state of scanner
.
RS-232/USB COM Parameters
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in
10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mo
d
e.
4. Go to page 27 and scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SET-
TING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that represent
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit.
This completes the procedure. See Table 24 for some examples of how to set this feature.

RS-232 Parameters
Product Reference Guide
235
ACK NAK Options
This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol.
When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and
sends “NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:
•Disable
• Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the host
when a
label is sent.
•
Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK
when t
he host sends a command.
• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge
The ACK/NAK Characters must be different and must not contain reserved
characters (see
Appendix E, Reserved Characters
).
ACK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character. ASCII
characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host com-
mands conflicts with normal operation of these char
acters. 8-bit data is not
recognized when the option
Data Bits
has been set as 7 Data Bits.
1. Determine the desired character or value. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of
this manual to find the hex equivalent for the desired character/value.
2. Go to page 29 and scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE to enter Program-
ming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT ACK CHARACTER SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two alpha-numeric charac
ters from the keypad in Appendix D, Key-
pad, that represent the desired character/value in step 1 above. The second character will
cause a two-beep indication.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit.

ACK NAK Timeout Value
This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host
following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15
seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout.
To set this value:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 200 (setting is in 200ms increments). Pad the result with
leading z
eroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.

Data Editing
Product Reference Guide
241
Data Editing
When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with
the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is
called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined
data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after
scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies. Figure 3 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:
Figure 3. Breakdown of a Message String
Prefix SuffixAIM IDLabel ID Label IDBar Code Data
00 - 20 Characters (ASCII)
Label ID Transmission:
Enable this option to
transmit the Label ID you
configure for the scanned
symbology.
AIM ID: This function is used to identify and display the
common label identifier for its symbology. When enabled,
this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar
code data.
OR...
Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting features
in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact Technical Support
(described on
page 8
for more information.
Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisti-
cated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. F
actory default set-
tings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a
specified
symbology (reference Code
Selection, starting on page 77) or across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this
chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of
this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which
you want them to appear on the output.

Global AIM ID
This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology
types.
AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label
identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of three
characters as follows:
• A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...
• A code character (see the table below), followed by...
• A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x01-
0xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following
the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides
options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets"
below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology"on
page 246). If you wish to program the reader to always include an
industry standard label
identifier for ALL symbology types, see "Global AIM ID"on page 43.
Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets
The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 31 shows the USA and the EU sets.
CAUTION
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configu-
ration settings, including the host interf
ace type, will be erased and set to
the standard factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults
will be lost.

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs
represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will
be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to
convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
4142
3132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the
second pair
is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are
FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BB22B
B22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2
charact
ers. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 55 and scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above exam-
ple. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the
equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix D, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters deter-
mined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters is selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections and exit Pro-
gramming Mode.
Scanner Data Formatting Control
No Read String

This completes the procedure.
Code Verifier
Code Verifier is available in On Line or Serial On Line and Automatic modes only. A
programmable character or string is transmitted after a successful reading phase depending on
the result of a comparison between the decoded label and a user specified label.
Code Verifier Mode
Options for this feature are:
• Disable: disable the Code Verifier functionality
• Transmit Wrong String: the reader will transmit the wrong string to the Host.
• Transmit Wrong Code: the reader wll transmit the wrong code to the Host.
If the code read matches the code verifier Match String then it is sent
to the host through the
configured port. If it does not match the code verifier Match String, either the Wrong Code can
be sent or the defined Wrong String message can be sent indicating the error.
Match String
The string used as the match code for code verification. The Match String must be configured
to include start/stop characters and check digits, if their transmission is enabled.
It is possible to define the Match string
by inserting:
• any printable characters
• non-printable ASCII characters available in the list insid
e the parameter edit box
No wild card characters are supported.
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character string (max 32).
2. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex value

Reading Parameters
Illumination Mode
This feature allows you to select the illumination mode for the reader. The illumination mode
can be used to:
• increase the overall diode life
• reduce power consumption
• turn off the illuminator for safety purposes
Selections:
• Disabled: the illuminator is always off
• Enabled: the illuminator is always on
• Triggered: the illuminator is turned on when the r
e
ading phase starts. The illuminator is
turned off as soon as the code(s) are read or when the reading phase ends.
The triggered selection is ignored for Automatic and Test Operating
Modes.
Good Read LED Duration
This feature specifies the amount of time that the Good Read LED remains on following a good
read. The good read LED on time can be set within a range of 100 milliseconds to 25,500
milliseconds (0.1 to 25.5 seconds) milliseconds in 100ms increments.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. A setting of 0 means that the good read
LED stays on until the next time
the trigger is pulled.
2. Divide the desired setting by 100 (setting is in 100ms increments). Pad the result with
leading
z
eroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.

Scanning Features
Operating Mode
The following Operating Modes (Reading Modes) are supported:
On Line
In On Line mode, the reading phase is defined as the time between the Phase ON and Phase
OFF events. The Phase events can be generated by an external input (trigger) or by the Trigger
button. While in this mode the scanner activates reading only during a reading phase. The
Phase events can be signals coming from the trigger button (or external presence sensor
connected to the scanner input for RS232 models).
On Line mode allows the following configurations:
Phase Off Event:
Specifies whether the reading phase is closed on a timeout or phase off event.
The following selections are available:
• Trigger Stop: the reading phase ends when the trigger event stops. Timeout is disabled.
• Timeout: the reading phase ends when the timeout is expi
r
ed. Trigger stop is ignored.
• Trigger Stop - Timeout: the reading phase ends when the first event occured.
Timeout:
Specifies the maximum duration for the reading phase. Selections: from 40 to 5100
ms in 20 ms increments
Serial On Line
In Serial On Line mode, a reading phase is defined as the time between two events: phase on
and phase off, generated by a message sent from the host interface to the scanner. While in this
mode the scanner activates reading only during a reading phase. The message (character or
string) is user programmable.
Serial On Line mode configurations:
Test Mode
Product Reference Guide
253
Serial Start Character (or String):
Specifies the string message to be sent over the host interface
to activate the reading phase
Serial Stop Character (or String):
Specifies the string message to be sent over the host interface
to stop the reading phase.
The Serial Start/Stop Characters must be different and must not contain
reserved characters (see
Appendix E, Reserved Characters).
Phase Off Event:
Specifies whether the reading phase is closed on a timeout or phase off event.
The following selections are available:
• Trigger Stop: the reading phase ends when the seri
al stop character (or string) is received.
Timeout is disabled.
• Timeout: the reading phase ends when the timeout is expir
e
d. Serial stop character (or
string) is ignored.
• Trigger Stop - Timeout: the reading phase ends when the first event occured.
Timeout:
Specifies the maximum duration for the reading phase. Selections: from 40 to 5100
ms in 20 ms increments.
Automatic
In Automatic mode, the scanner is continuously scanning. When a label enters the reading zone
and is decoded, no more decodes and reading phases are allowed until the label has left the
reading area. In order to guarantee identification of the code in the reading zone, a threshold
specifies the number of scans after the successful decode that the scanner will wait before
rearming the reading phase. The transmission of the decoded label depends on the
configuration of the Transmission Mode parameter.
Automatic mode configurations:
Automatic Threshold:
Specifies the number of “empty” scans allowed after decoding a label,
before the scanner switches back to a new reading phase.
Automatic/Trigger Object Sense
Automatic/TOS mode is the same as Automatic mode, but with the lighting system OFF. As an
object or barcode enters the reading area, the light is turned ON. The light will return OFF as
the reading phase is closed (see Automatic Mode above).
While in Trigger Object Sense Mode the green spot stays on while in
stand watch state.
Test Mode
Test Mode reports information about the reading performance of the reader, and the code is
continuosly read. After 100 scans, the following information is transmitted to the Host:
•The code content
• Percentage of good reads. If the good read
per
centage is 0, no transmission occurs.
The information can be displayed on the Host PC by running a terminal emulator program
such as HyperTerminal. The outp
ut data format is fixed.

Gryphon™ I GFS4170/GFS4150-9
Test Mode Multiple
This parameter is active only while the scanner is in Test mode:
• Disable: Test mode is possible only for a single barc
ode
• Enable: Test mode is possible for one or more barcodes at the same time
Camera Control
Exposure Mode
Controls the lighting system mode. Camera lighting system can be set to low power or to high
power (Strobed Mode), depending on the user application. When set in Strobed Mode the
scanner controls the camera parameters dynamically in order to guarantee best performances
with high speed applications and extreme external light conditions.
Parameters:
• Continuous Mode: Lighting LEDs are activated with a 150mA current
• Strobed Mode: Lighting LEDs are activated with a 750mA current.
• Implementation details: Scan rate is fixed to 3,25 msec. An auto
matic algorithm will be
implemented in order to fulfil the dynamic reading performances required.
Special Recipes
Special Recipes allow the user to select the best combination for reading parameters according to
the specific application (i.e. Code Color, Code Contrast, Code Resolution).
Power Save
USB Suspend
Enables or disables USB Suspend Mode.
This feature is available only for GFS4170 model (USB interface).
Suspend Mode enables the reader to enter low-power mode if no bus activity is detected,
typically when the Host PC goes into Standby mode. All LED indicators are off during Suspend
Mode, and the reader power consumption is less than 2.5 mA. The reader wakes up
automatically when it detects bus activity.
This feature is disabled by default.
Sleep Mode Timeout
Specifies the timeout value for the reader to enter low-power mode (Sleep).
This feature is available only for GFS4150-9 (RS232 interface) in On Line
operating mode.

Symbologies
Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to
very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder
at the expense of not being able to read
poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggr
essive behavior allows decoding of
poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding
errors.
• Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to ch
ange the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels,
etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged
labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be
more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to
decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.
Set Length
Length Control allows you to select either variable length decoding or fixed length decoding for
the specified symbology.
Variable Length.
For variable length decoding, a minimum and maximum length may be set.
Fixed Length.
For fixed length decoding, two different lengths may be set.
References
256
Gryphon™ I GFS4170/GFS4150-9
Set Length 1
This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Length Control. Length 1 is the minimum
label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode.
Length includes the barcode’s data characters only.
The number of characters that can be set varies, de
pending on the symbology. Reference the
page for your selected symbology to see specific variables.
1. Determine the desired character length (varies depending on symbology).
Pad the number
with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Go to the Set Length page for your selected symbology
and scan the ENTER/EXIT PR
O-
GRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode to SELECT LENGTH 1 SETT
ING for your selected symbology.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that represent
the length setting which was determined in the s
t
eps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort
and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Prog Mode.
Set Length 2
This feature allows you to set one of the barcode lengths for the specified symbology. Length 2
is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed
Length Mode. See the page for the specific symbology for parameters.
The length
that can be set varies depending on the symbology. A
setting of 0 specifies to ignore
this length (only one fixed length).
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 50 —
or 0
to ignore this length). Pad
the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20,
etc.
2. Go to the Set Length page for your selected symbology and scan the ENTER/EXIT PR
O-
GRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode to SELECT LENGTH 2 SET
T
ING for your selected symbology.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad that represent
the length setting which was determined in the st
eps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
If you make a mistake, before the last character scan the CANCEL barcode
to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure.

The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on
the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The tables below list these
indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are
programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the
power-up beep can be disabled using programming barcode labels.

Special keys are located from 00 to 0x1F and characters from 0x80 to
0xFE are intended as an extended ASCII table (Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 — See
page 288).
Single Press and Release Keys
In the following tables, Ar↓ means Alt right pressed and Ar↑ means Alt right released and so on.
Definitions for other keys are Al (Alt left), Cr (Control Right) Cl (Control Left) Sh (shift). This
method can be used for combining Alt, Control or Shift with other keys.
Example: Consider a Control character
set to 00. If AltRight+A is required before sending a
label to the host, it could be done by setting three Prefix keys in this way: 0x99 0x41 0x9A.
