Series OPT Handheld CCD Scanner

Part I

General Information

The OPT-6125 Series CCD Scanners utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology similar to that found in digital cameras,

facsimile machines and video camcorders. The scanner images the bar code label, then converts the digital signals into data

the host computer can understand. By capturing the bar code image all at once, the scanner provides fast, highly accurate

reading.

Miniature surface mount electronics make up the CCD scanner's solid state construction. CCD scanners have no moving

mechanical parts and provide years of trouble-free operation.

This manual contains information on setting-up the scanner as well as programming various parameters of the scanner.

The OPT6125 scanner is available in several different interface configurations:

Keyboard Wedge Interface

RS232 Serial Interface

USB Interface

There is a specific section of this manual for installing each type of interface. Be sure you are using the section of the

manual that pertains to interface you are using.

Unpacking

Remove the scanner from its packaging and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, call the dealer or

distributor from whom you purchased it. If you purchased it directly from Opticon, call Opticon Customer Service Dept. at

800-636-0090.

Factory Technical Support

If you have any questions or need assistance with programming your scanner call Opticon Technical Support at 800-636-

0090 please have the unit model number and several bar code labels readily at hand. The model number is located near the

connector end of the cable.

If the scanner must be returned, please contact Opticon to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number prior

to returning the product. The Customer Service Dept. may be reached at 800-636-0090.

Part II Installation and SetUp

This section of the manual contains information on the physical installation of the scanner as well as certain programming options.

There is a separate section for each type of interface. Check to see which type of interface your scanner has and turn to that

section for information on installing the scanner

A.) Installation – Keyboard Wedge Interface

A "Y" connection cable is required for installation. The scanner is installed or "wedged" between the keyboard and the computer..

Your “Y” cable should have connectors for both a PS2 and AT type installation. The "Y" cable connects both the scanner and the

keyboard to the computer.

The scanner must match the type of computer being used. The default setting is for an IBM AT type computer. If this type does

not match the host computer, refer to the “Computer Type Selection” in the programming section that follows. If the connector

does not match the host compute remove the short cable section, reverse it and insert it in the other connector

B.) Installation – RS232 Interface

The RS-232 scanner cable is terminated in with a DB9 female connector. An external power supply (+5V DC) may be necessary.

There is a power supply jack on the RS-232 connector.

Installation is as follows:

1. Plug the scanner into an RS232 serial port (such as COM1) of the host PC. If external power is required, insert external power

plug into the jack on the RS-232 connector.

2. Connect the power supply into an electrical outlet (110 V AC)

3. Turn on the power to the host computer. Make sure the communication parameters of the computer match those of the

scanner. The default communications settings are: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshaking

4. Be sure the PC is in a program (such as WordPad) that will accept input from the serial port.

Bar Code Menu Functions

Section A Programming the Scanner

This manual contains information that allows you to easily change certain programmable parameters of the scanner.

The scanner is ready to use - no additional programming is required in most situations. The scanner has been

programmed at the factory with the most common settings. These factory default settings are ideal for most

situations.

A specific parameter is set or changed by scanning one or more of the special programming bar codes found on the

following pages. For each parameter, you can choose from a menu of options. When you scan the special bar code

for a specific menu option, the scanner retains the changes you have made even if you disconnect the scanner or t-

urn off the power.

Step-by-Step

Programming is easy. Simply:

1. Scan the bar code for "Start/End Program Menu" (ZZ). The scanner will beep continuously to indicate that it

is ready to be programmed. When the scanner is in Programming Mode, it cannot read normal bar code. It can

only read the special bar codes found on the following pages.

2. Select desired parameter from menu and scan the bar code. The scanner will beep once and the green light will

flash, indicating the desired parameter has been scanned. The scanner will continue to beep continuously while

in Programming Mode.

3. Scan "Start/End Program Menu" (ZZ). The scanner will stop beeping, indicating that it is back in normal

scanning mode. The changes made while in Programming Mode are now saved in the scanner's memory.

When the scanner is in Programming Mode, more than one parameter at a time can be changed. Until some

proficiency at programming is achieved, it is highly recommended that users only change only one parameter at a

time and test the change before proceeding to program any additional changes. It is also recommended that users

keep a record of the changes made to the scanner.

What If I Make A Mistake?

Scanning the "Reset All Defaults" bar code for your type of interface will return the scanner to all factory default

settings (including any changes made during previous programming sessions).

NOTE: (

) A pointing finger indicates scanner default settings throughout the following menus.

Setting Code Specific Options - Options for specific codes may be configured affecting:

Enabling and disabling code variants and translations.

Data verification such as by mean of a check digit calculation. A check digit has a value that can be

calculated from the other data characters and is usually the last data character in a bar code.

Pre-editing of the data string such as removing the check digit and/or ST/SP characters.

The more common options are described here.

Check CD - Enables the check digit calculation. If the calculated check digit does not correspond to the check digit

in the bar code, then the bar code is ignored. The use of a check digit greatly improves the security of a bar code.

Do Not Check CD - Disables the check digit calculation. This option is required when the bar codes do not contain

a check digit or contain an invalid check digit.

Transmit CD - Enables the transmission of the check digit together with the data characters. If the check digit

calculation is disabled, the reader cannot differentiate anymore between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It

will therefore transmit all data characters of the label, including what could constitute a check digit.

Do Not Transmit CD - Disables the transmission of the check digit. If the check digit calculation is disabled, the

reader cannot differentiate between a (valid) check digit and a data character. It will therefore transmit all data

characters of the able, excluding the character that could constitute the check digit for the type of bar code.

Transmit ST/SP - Enables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code.

Do Not Transmit ST/SP - Disables the transmission of the start and stop characters of a bar code.

Full ASCII Code 39 if possible - In this mode the decoded data characters are translated to full ASCII code 39.

Invalid combinations are not translated and are transmitted as is.

Concatenation - If a Code 39 bar code contains a leading space, the data is stored into the reader's buffer without

the leading space. As soon as a Code 39 bar code is read without a leading space, the data is appended to the reader's

buffer and the entire buffer is transmitted and cleared for new data. In case a non Code 39 bar code bar is transmitted

and the buffer is cleared. The buffer size is reader dependant.

Selection of start/stop character translation.

Selection of minimum number of data characters.

Enable library space (CLSI) insertion.

Space insertion - This option inserts spaces in position 2, 7 and 13 of the data string for use in library systems.

ST/SP translation - This option enables the translation and transmission of the start and stop characters. Thus, if the

option ST/SP: abcd/tn*e is chosen, the start character is converted to lower case, e.g. from A, B, C or D to a, b, c or

d, respectively), and the stop character is converted from A, B, C or D to t, n, * or e, respectively.

Minimum data characters - Codabar labels are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters as set by the user. If

the number of characters in the label is shorter than the minimum selected, the label will be rejected. If the fixed

length option is used for Codabar type labels, then such labels will additionally be checked for fixed length. This

option will no longer be supported in future software releases.

Intercharacter gap check - This option enables the reading of Codabar labels with a large or irregular gap between

characters.

Code 2of5 is a variable length symbology with an optional check digit and non printable start and stop character.

Supported characters include numeric digits 0 to 9.

The checksum is calculated as the sum modulo 10 of the numerical values of all the data characters. The following

2of5 codes are supported.

Industrial 2of5 (D 2of5) - This symbology encodes a pair of digits in each symbol, the number of digits are

therefore always an even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces. The start and stop pattern in not

unique inside the code. It is therefore essential to use the fixed length option to prevent partial reads.

Matrix 2of5 - This symbology encodes 1 digit in each character, the number of digits can therefore be an odd or an

even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces.

String format - Industrial, Interleaved or Matrix 2of5:

leading

zero

data (1 or

more digits)

check

digit

Options for Code 2of5:

Disable transmission of the check digit

Enable check digit check

Selection of the minimum number of data characters

Disable space check for industrial 2of5

Transmit S Code as Interleaved 2of5

Minimum data characters - Code 2of5 are checked for a minimum of 1, 3 or 5 characters as set by the user. If the

number of characters in the label is less than the number set, the label will be rejected. If the fixed length option is

used for a Code 2of5 type label, then such label will also be checked for fixed length.

Intercharacter gap check - This option enables the reading of Industrial 2of5 labels with a large or irregular

spacing.

Supported characters include:

All 128 ASCII characters;

4 non data function characters;

4 code set selection characters;

FNC2 Concatenation - If a Code 128 bar code contains a leading FNC2 character, the data is stored into the

reader's buffer. As soon as a Code 128 bar code is read without a leading FNC2 character, the data is appended to

the reader's buffer and the entire buffer is transmitted and cleared for new data. In case a non Code 128 bar code is

read, the data in the non-Code 128 bar code is transmitted and the buffer is cleared. The buffer size is reader

dependent.

Single Read - When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will be turned OFF. The reader must be triggered again

to read another label. This option and "Disable trigger" cannot be programmed at the same time.

Multiple Read - When a bar code has been decoded, the reader will stay ON for a time as set by "read time

settings" or indefinitely if the trigger switch has been disabled. The same label can only be decoded again after the

label has not been detected for a number of scans.

Continuous Read - The reader will produce as much data as it can decode regardless whether it is the same or not.

This mode is mainly used for demonstration and diagnosis.

Add-on Wait Mode - Used if UPC/EAN with add-on is enabled. The reader searches within the selected time for a

valid add-on code. If a valid add-on code is found, the reader transmits the data immediately. If nothing is found

behind the code, the scanner will transmit the data without add-on. If something is found behind the code, the reader

ignored the code in case it is not a valid add-on.
