Chapter 2 Scanning
Introduction
This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes. Included are specic instructions on how to hold the scanner at the appropriate angle to ensure an accurate decode.

2-1

LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning

Ready, Test, Scan

1. Ready Make sure all connections are secure. 2. Test Aim the scanner away from you and press the trigger. When you press the trigger, the scanning beam is energized. On the LS 1000, the length of time the beam remains on depends on the controller or terminal into which it is plugged. On the LS 1004, the scanner is energized for approximately 1 second (default). 3. Scan Make sure the symbol you want to scan is within the scanning range. See the LS 100x Decode Zone . Aim and press the trigger. On the LS 1000, the scan beam and SCAN LED lights for 3.5 seconds, or until a successful decode occurs. On the LS 1004, if you use the scanner in default Low Power operating mode, the DECODE LED remains on until power down (maximum of 1 second). If the unit is programmed for Continuous power operating mode, the DECODE LED stays on until the next trigger pull. The scanner has read the symbol when: You hear a short, high tone beep (if the beeper is enabled). The DECODE LED lights.

2-2

LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning

Aiming
Scan the Entire Symbol
Your scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol. The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. A short, high tone beep indicates a good decode. RIGHT WRONG

LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning

Hold at an Angle
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reection. This strong light can blind the scanner and make decoding difcult. The area where specular reection occurs is known as a dead zone. You can tilt the scanner up to 65 forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Maintaining the LS 1000 Scanner

Battery Box Operation
When using the LS 1000 Series with a battery box, you can use either an alkaline battery (recommended), or a nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery. Low power is signalled by 4 short, high-tone beeps, coupled with scanning interruptions. If this occurs, change or recharge the battery as soon as possible. For battery box operation: 1. 2. 3. Insert a 9-volt battery into the battery box. Plug the scanners 9-pin connector at the end of the coil cord into the end of the battery box. An output cable from the battery box connects the LS 1000 Series to the host device. Connect one end of this cable to the battery box and the other to the appropriate port on the host device. Note: Not all applications require a power supply or battery box. The output cable depends on the wand being replaced. See the Product Ordering Guide for more information.

Changing the Battery

Disconnect the battery box. To open the battery box, push up on the anges at one end of the pack. Remove the old battery. Insert the new or recharged 9-volt battery into the battery box.

What If...
Nothing happens when you follow the operating instructions?
You Should
Check the system power; is there a battery in the battery box? Be sure the scanner is programmed for the terminal in use. Make sure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code you are scanning. Check for loose cable connections. Check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced. Try scanning test symbols of the same code type. Be sure you are within the proper scanning range.

Symbol is decoded, but not transmitted to the host terminal?

You Should
Be sure the proper host type is selected (See Chapter 4).

Scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the terminal?

You Should
Make sure the system is programmed for the correct keyboard type. Make sure the CAPS LOCK key is off. Be sure the proper host is selected. Be sure editing options (e.g. UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion) are properly programmed. If after performing these checks the symbol still does not scan, contact your distributor or call the Symbol Support Center. See Symbol Support Center for the telephone number.

Introduction
This chapter provides information on how to program the LS 1004 scanner. Before programming the scanner, follow the instructions in the Appendix section of Chapter 1. The default table, shown on the following page, illustrates the default values with which the scanner is shipped. If the default values suit your requirements, scan the Appendix barcode. This will set the scanner to the default parameters. Changing the scanners programmable parameters is accomplished by scanning the bar codes provided in this section.

4-1

LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 4, Programming the LS 1004

The following table lists the defaults for all parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s)

Scanning Sequence
A scanning sequence establishes a value for one parameter type. During a scanning sequence, bar codes are scanned to select a parameter. All bar codes necessary for programming the scanner are provided in the Appendix section of this manual.

Scanning Sequence Example

In this example, assume you want to program the scanner for all default settings except for two parameters, Appendix and Appendix . Since you want to keep the majority of the default settings, scan the Appendix bar code. The default for DECODE UPC ONLY is DISABLED, but in this example, you need it enabled. To do this, scan the DECODE UPC ONLY ENABLE bar code. Youll hear hi/lo/hi/low warble. The warble sound indicates that the scanner has been successfully programmed for the selected parameter. Other beeper indications are listed in Chapter 3. The default for INTERCHARACTER DELAY is 0 msec, but you need it set to 2 msec. To program the scanner for a 2msec intercharacter delay, scan the bar codes listed below. This sequence includes a two-digit entry; single-digit entries require a leading zero. Youll hear... 1. 2. 3. Scan INTERCHARACTER DELAY Scan 0 Scan 2 Short high tone Short high tone Hi/Lo/Hi/Lo warble

Errors While Scanning

Dont worry if you make an error during a scanning sequence. If youre scanning a multi-step sequence, scanning CANCEL removes you from that sequence so that you can start again. Otherwise, simply scan the single correct bar code for the desired parameter.

Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental

This option is used to select whether UPC/EAN is decoded with or without supplemental characters, or whether the unit will autodiscriminate between the two. Supplementals are additionally appended characters, according to specic code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+5). If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters 2-digit or 5-digit only is selected, UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental characters wont be decoded. If UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is selected and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the UPC/EAN will be decoded and the supplemental characters will be ignored. If autodiscrimination is chosen, the scanner will, after additional processing to ensure a good decode, transmit either. If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters is selected, UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is ignored.

UPC/EAN Security Level

The scanner offset four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application. Security Level 0 - This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufcient security in decoding in spec UPC/ EAN bar codes. Security Level 1 - As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to mis-decodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes, and the mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select this security level. Security Level 2 - If you are experiencing mis-decodes on poorly printed bar codes, and the mis-decodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7 and 8, select this security level.

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. These options may be combined; for example, ACK/NAK with ENQ. No software handshaking

None

ACK/NAK only The ACK/NAK option checks the success or failure of transmission. The scanner expects one of the following host responses after a data transmission: <ACK> acknowledges a valid and successful transmission. <NAK> indicates a problem with the transmission. Whenever a NAK is received, the unit retransmits the same data and awaits an ACK/NAK response. After three unsuccessful attempts to transmit the same data, the scanner aborts any further communication attempts of that message.

ACK/NAK

ENQ ONLY The ENQ option needs the host to request data before it is transmitted to the host. This ensures that data transmission occurs only when the host is ready to receive. When you select the wait for ENQ option, the scanner waits for an ENQ from the host before it transmits data; otherwise, the unit transmits data without waiting for an ENQ character from the host. With ENQ enabled, the scanner must receive an ENQ from the host within a 2-second period after the last activity, or a

ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S. BIT - Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning. BOOKLAND EAN - A specially-formatted European Article Numbering symbol with 13 characters (EAN-13), the rst 3 of which are 978. BYTE - On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specic 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. This agency species various laser operation classes based on power output during operation. CHECK DIGIT - A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded. CODABAR - A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (- $ : / , +). CODE 128 - A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.

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. CONTINUOUS SYMBOLOGY - A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density. DECODE - To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the content of the specic bar code scanned. DECODE ALGORITHM - A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code symbol. DISCRETE SYMBOLOGY - A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code. DISCRETE 2 OF 5 - A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group of ve bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insignicant. Only numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded. EAN - European Article Number. This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards. Element dimensions are specied metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail. HOST COMPUTER - A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing such services as computation, database access, supervisory programs, and network control. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

Glossary

IEC CLASS I (IEC 825 Class I) - This is the lowest power IEC laser classication. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 25 seconds of laser operation within any 100 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 bar code. INTERLEAVED BAR CODE - A bar code in which characters are paired together, using bars to represents the rst character and the intervening spaces to represent the second. INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 - A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups of ve bars and ve interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides for greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/spaces) within each group determines which characters are encoded. This continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces. Only numeric (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded. LASER - An acronym for Light Amplication 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 semiconductor type of laser connected to a power source to generate a laser beam. This laser type is a compact source of coherent light. PARAMETER - A variable that can have different values assigned to it. PROGRAMMING MODE - The state in which a scanner is congured for parameter values. See SCANNING MODE. QUIET ZONE - A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character. REDUNDANCY - A decoding method which requires a bar code be recognized redundantly on a number of sweeps of the scan beam before a decode is declared. While slowing the time-to-decode, redundancy can help lower the possibility of a mis-decode of poorly printed symbols.

LS 1000 Series Product Reference Guide

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 reected light (more light reected from spaces). 3. Signal conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector output into a digitized bar pattern. SCANNING MODE - The scanner is energized, programmed, and ready to read a bar code. SCANNING SEQUENCE - A method of programming or conguring parameters for a bar code reading system by scanning bar code menus. SELF-CHECKING CODE - A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol. START/STOP CHARACTER - A pattern of bars and spaces that provides the scanner with start and stop reading instructions and scanning direction. The start and stop characters are normally to the left and right margins of a horizontal code. 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. SYMBOLOGY - The structural rules and conventions for representing data within a particular bar code type (e.g. UPC/EAN, Code 39). UPC - Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of which can be any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States.
