Chapter 1

Getting Started

The linear imager uses a 16-bit processor and enhanced image processing

algorithms to attain industry-leading speeds of 450 scans per second.

Depth of field performance allows scanning of a low resolution shipping

label at a distance of 1.5 meters. Even poor quality bar codes are readable

with this scanner. Bright environments such as direct sunlight or well-

lighted retail environments are not a problem; the linear imager provides

accurate scans in strong ambient light up to 75,000 LUX.

The unit is built to withstand tough industrial environments with a

durable rubber overmolding to protect all contact points and an IP52

protection rating. The linear imager is lightweight at 5.64 ounces (160

grams) and has an ergonomic comfort grip for ease of use.

Symbologies

In addition to standard linear bar code symbologies, the PDF model of

the linear imager also reads 2-Dimensional stacked bar code symbologies

such as PDF417, Micro PDF 417 and EAN UCC Composite.

For more information plus a complete listing of available symbology

types, turn to the

Symbologies chapter of this manual.

Linear Imager Settings

The linear imager is factory programmed for the most common terminal

and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, pro-

gramming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

In the programming chapters, factory default settings are indicated with

bold text and yellow highlighting. These defaults represent the settings

for the RS-232 standard interface. For a listing of defaults for other

interfaces, reference

Chapter D, Default Settings, in the section titled Inter-

face Default Exceptions

Return to Factory Defaults

Scan the two bar codes below to reset the imager (handheld) and Base

Station to factory settings. These bar codes can be used to return the

imager to a “known” working state when the present programming sta-

tus is not known, faulty, or suspect.

Bluetooth Models

The following features and descriptions apply only to Bluetooth (BT)

models of the imager.

Linking an Imager with a Base

Station

Follow these instructions to link the two devices:

1. Connect power to the Base Station. The radio LED (marked with

an antenna symbol) will blink amber and the Base Station will

beep.

2. To ensure the Base Station is unlinked from any other imagers,

press the button located on its bottom side for three seconds.

3. Place the imager in the Base Station for one minute to get a small

charge in the battery.

4. Read the label on the Base Station with the imager. The imager

will sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber.

5. Replace the imager in the Base Station to continue the charge.

Once an imager is linked to a Base Station, they will remain linked until

specific action is taken to unlink them (see

Unlinking). They will remain

linked if the Base Station is unplugged, if the battery is removed from

the imager or if the entire charge is used up, and if the imager is taken

out of range of the Base Station. Under normal operation, scanning of

the link label will only be required once in the life of the product.

QS6500/QS6500BT

Unlinking

There are three ways to unlink an imager from a Base Station:

Unlink and Sleep

1. Scan the “Unlink and Sleep” bar code — Reading the unlink bar code

above while the imager is in range of the Base Station will break

the link between the two devices and allow another imager to link

to the Base Station. It will also place the imager in Sleep Mode. If

the bar code is read when the imager is out of range of its linked

Base Station, the imager will unlink, but the Base Station will

remain linked to the imager and will not allow another imager to

be linked to it until the unlink button is pressed, the original

imager is brought in range, linked, and then unlinked again.

Push the button on the bottom of the Base Station — Pushing the but-

ton on the Base Station while the imager is in range will break the

link between the devices. If the button is pushed while the imager

is out of range, the Base Station will unlink and make itself avail-

able to other imagers. The imager will not automatically break its

link with the Base Station, but can be linked to any other Base Sta-

tion by reading its link label .

Scan the link label on an alternate Base Station — Scanning the link

label on a Base Station with an imager that is linked with another

Base Station will drop the link between the original pair and estab-

lish a link between the imager and the new Base Station. If the new

link is performed within range of the old Base Station, it is free to

establish a link to the next imager that reads its link label. If it is

done outside the range of the old Base Station, it retains its old link

and will not allow a new imager to link to it until its unlink button

is pressed.

Battery Charging

Product Reference Guide 2-3

Battery Charging

The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A

fully charged battery will provide up to 12,000 scans over a 12 hour

period. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configuration

of the how the imager is configured via the programable features in this

manual; in particular,

Deep Sleep Mode and Leash Alarm settings can

impact battery life.

When the imager is placed in the Base Station, the battery will automat-

ically charge. While charging is taking place, the charging LED (marked

with a battery symbol) will blink green. When the battery is fully

charged, the charging LED will stay on a solid green.

If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the charging circuit

or with a failure of the battery, the charging LED will flash red. When

this happens, the battery should be replaced

Paging the Imager

If the imager is misplaced in the area around the Base Station, it can be

located by momentarily pressing the button on the bottom of the Base

Station. When the button is momentarily pressed, a message is sent to

the imager instructing it to sound a series of six short beeps. If the imager

is out of range of the Base Station or in Deep Sleep Mode, paging will

not work.

remains in a host-disabled state; following a successful label transmis-

sion, the CTS signal must transition to inactive and then to active to

enable scanning for the next label.

Host Echo

When enabled, this feature passes all data through the imager to the host

as it comes in. This feature is used for applications where “daisy chain-

ing” of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for example,

one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is entering

data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requir-

ing transmission to the host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232 chan-

nel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set via

RS-232 Host Echo

Quiet Interval

). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before send-

ing its data in order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.

Host Echo Quiet Interval

This setting specifies the time interval of RS-232 channel inactivity

which must transpire before the imager will break the host echo loop to

transmit the bar code data that has just been scanned to the host.

Data Editing

Data Editing Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the

host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar

code data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message

string.” The features in this chapter 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, after, and even between scanned data. You can specify if they

should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies.

Figure 5-1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data

editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable out-

put for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is

typically set to NONE.

• A prefix or suffix may be applied to one symbology (reference the

Symbologies chapter for these settings) or across all symbologies

(set via the features in this chapter).

• You can add any prefix or suffix from

Appendix A, ASCII Conversion

Chart

, plus Code I.D/AIM I.D.

• Several entries for several symbologies can be strung together at

one time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to

appear on the output.

Prefix/Suffix

Up to 22 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before

the bar code data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code

data) as indicated in

Symbology, I.D. and Code Length

Useful information, such as the scanned bar code’s symbology type, code

I.D. and character length can all be variously added to the message

string. The following are descriptions for each of these elements:

Symbology —

This function is used to identify and display the

scanned bar code's symbology name (from among any of the symbolo-

gies readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology)

will be transmitted in a position before the bar code data.

Code I.D. —

The Code I.D. is an alpha-numeric code representing the

bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to and/or fol-

lowing the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this feature is

enabled.

In addition to message string positioning (before or after bar code data),

options for this feature include:

•Disable

• Proprietary I.D. — Symbologies are identified by an associated

alpha-numeric code developed by the manufacturer.

• AIM I.D. — Symbologies are identified by a standardized alpha-

numeric code list established by AIM (Association for Automatic

Identification and Mobility).

Code Length —

When enabled, this feature will calculate the total

character length of the scanned bar code (minus truncated leading or

ending digits) and transmit this information just previous to the actual

scanned data.

NOTE

An extra step is required in enabling this feature. Selec-

tion of Code I.D. Positon (either before or after bar code

data) must be made PRIOR to selecting either Propri-

etary or AIM I.D.

Data Group Characters

Options are available to insert characters in up to four positions between

the scanned bar code data. This is accomplished by selecting the position

and up to 22 ASCII characters for each for Data Group 1, Data Group

2, Data Group 3 and Data Group 4 settings.

Example: Setting Position and Characters for Data Group 1

In this example, we’ll set a positon and select two characters for Data

Group 1.

Select Data Group 1 Position

1. Determine which position in the bar code data you wish to insert

character(s). In this example, we’ll select a position three characters

from the left within the bar code data.

2. Scan the START bar code.

3. Scan the SET DATA GROUP 1 POSITION bar code.

4. In this step, we select the three-spaces-from-the-left position in

which to place the characters we’ll select later. Scan first the 0

(zero) bar code, then the 3 bar code from the numeric digit bar

codes provided in

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

Select Data Group 1 Character(s)

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) is/are to be added to scanned

bar code data. In this example, we’ll add two characters: + (the plus

sign) and # (the pound, or number sign).

NOTE

The options in this chapter set Data Group Characters

globally for all symbologies. If you wish to enable this

feature only for a single symbology, turn to the options

for that symbology in the

Symbologies chapter.

NOTE

Make sure the insertion position you select is not

greater than the total number of bar code characters

scanned; otherwise, the Data Group character(s) will

not be inserted.

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-

mitted UPC-A bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the UPC-A Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent

the UPC-A symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion

Chart

, to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-

ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “A” to represent

UPC-A. The value from the table corresponding to ‘A’ is 41. This

value will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET UPC-A CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’

and ‘1’ (the value 41 determined in an earlier step to represent a

Code I.D. of ‘A’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

UPC-A Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a UPC-A bar code is

scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET UPC-A DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever a UPC-A bar code was scanned. Scanning dig-

its 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select no

Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

NOTE

The options in this section set Data Group Characters

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-

mitted UPC-E bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the UPC-E Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent

the UPC-E symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion

Chart

, to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-

ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “E” to represent

UPC-E. The value from the table corresponding to ‘E’ is 45. This

value will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET UPC-E CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’

and ‘5’ (the value 45 determined in an earlier step to represent a

Code I.D. of ‘E’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

UPC-E Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a UPC-E bar code is

scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET UPC-E DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever a UPC-E bar code was scanned. Scanning dig-

its 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select no

Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

NOTE

The options in this section set Data Group Characters

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-

mitted RSS-14 bar code data depending on how this feature is enabled.

Example: Setting the RSS-14 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent

the RSS-14 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conversion

Chart

to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen charac-

ter(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “R4” to represent

RSS-14. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’R’ is 52 and

the value for ‘4’ is 34. These values will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET RSS-14 CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘5’

and ‘2’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘R’).

Then scan the bar codes ‘3’ and ‘4’ (hex equivalent for ‘4’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

RSS-14 Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever an RSS-14 bar code is

scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET RSS-14 DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever an RSS-14 bar code was scanned. Scanning

digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select

no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

NOTE

The options in this section set Data Group Characters

Full ASCII code. Each Full ASCII Code 39 character is a combination of

one of the characters +,%, $ and / with an uppercase alphabetical charac-

ter (A to Z).

Append

This function allows several symbols to be concatenated and be treated

as a single entry. The imager will not transmit the embedded appending

code (for Code-39, a space). If the append function is enabled and other

symbols are read again with the appended code, then the codes are trans-

mitted without the code ID, preamble, or prefix. When a symbol was

decoded without the appended code, the data is transmitted without the

code ID and prefix, but the postamble suffix codes are appended. This

function is used when the first character of Code 39 data is a space.

Start/End Transmission

The start and end characters of Code 39 are asterisks (*). You can trans-

mit all data digits, including the two asterisks.

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-

mitted Pharmacode 39 bar code data depending on how this feature is

enabled.

Example: Setting the Pharmacode 39 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent

the Pharmacode 39 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Con-

version Chart

to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen

character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “A” to repre-

sent Pharmacode 39. The value from the table corresponding to

‘’A’ is 41. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET PHARMACODE 39 CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’

and ‘1’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘A’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-

TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

8. The resulting message string for scanned Pharmacode 39 labels

would appear as follows:

Pharmacode 39 Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Pharmacode 39 bar

code is scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET PHARMACODE 39 DATA GROUP CHARAC-

TERS bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever a Pharmacode 39 bar code was scanned. Scan-

ning digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To

select no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

Minimum/Maximum Code Length

Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code

length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as

the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the

minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code

length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum

code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect.

NOTE

Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater

than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the

Minimum/Maximum Code Length

Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code

length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as

the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the

minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code

length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum

code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect.

NOTE

Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater

than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the

labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set

the same value for both minimum and maximum length

to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-

mitted Matrix 2 of 5 bar code data depending on how this feature is

enabled.

Example: Setting the Matrix 2 of 5 Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent

the Matrix 2 of 5 symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conver-

sion Chart

to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen

character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “B” to repre-

sent Matrix 2 of 5. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’B’

is 42. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET MATRIX 2 OF 5 CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’

and ‘2’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘B’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-

TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

8. The resulting message string for scanned Matrix 2 of 5 labels

would appear as follows:

Scanned bar code data: 0123456789123

Resulting message string output: B0123456789123

Matrix 2 of 5 Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Matrix 2 of 5 bar code

is scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET MATRIX 2 OF 5 DATA GROUP CHARACTERS

bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever a Matrix 2 of 5 bar code was scanned. Scanning

digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select

no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

NOTE

The options in this section set Data Group Characters

Minimum/Maximum Code Length

Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code

length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as

the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the

minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code

length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum

code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect..

NOTE

Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater

than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the

labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set

the same value for both minimum and maximum length

to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

Code I.D. Selection

The Code I.D. for this symbology consists of one or two user-selectable

ASCII characters. It can be appended previous to or following the trans-

mitted MSI/Plessey bar code data depending on how this feature is

enabled.

Example: Setting the MSI/Plessey Code I.D.

To configure this feature:

1. Determine which character(s) you would like to use to represent

the MSI/Plessey symbology. Reference Appendix A, ASCII Conver-

sion Chart

to find the corresponding hex values for your chosen

character(s). In this example we’ll set a Code I.D. of “@” to repre-

sent MSI/Plessey. The value from the table corresponding to ‘’@’ is

40. This value will be used in a step to follow.

2. Scan the START bar code

3. Scan the SET MSI/PLESSEY CODE I.D. bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes ‘4’

and ‘0’ (the value determined in an earlier step to represent ‘@’).

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Turn to the

Data Editing chapter and scan the CODE ID POSI-

TION: BEFORE BAR CODE DATA label.

7. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

8. The resulting message string for scanned MSI/Plessey labels would

MSI/Plessey Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever an MSI/Plessey bar code

is scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET MSI/PLESSEY DATA GROUP CHARACTERS

bar code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever an MSI/Plessey bar code was scanned. Scan-

ning digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To

select no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

Code 16K Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Code 16K bar code is

scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET CODE 16KDATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar

code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever a Code 16K bar code was scanned. Scanning

digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To select

no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

Minimum/Maximum Code Length

Many symbologies have their own maximum and minimum code

length, which can be set to qualify data entry. The length is defined as

the actual bar code data length to be sent. Labels with lengths below the

minimum or above the maximum will be rejected. If the maximum code

length is set to zero, the global maximum is in effect. If the minimum

code length is set to zero, the global minimum is in effect.

NOTE

Ensure that the minimum length setting is not greater

than the maximum length setting; otherwise, all the

labels of the symbology will be unreadable. You can set

the same value for both minimum and maximum length

to force decoding of only bar codes of a certain length.

Code 4/5 Data Group Characters

Once you’ve pre-set your desired Data Group Characters

using the Data

Group Characters

feature found in Chapter 5, Data Editing, you can choose

to output up to two of those pre-sets whenever a Code 4 or Code 5 bar

code is scanned.

To set this feature:

1. Determine which Data Group pre-set(s) to output. You can select

up to two from the following:

Data Group 1 * Data Group 2 * Data Group 3 * Data Group 4

For example, your choice might be Data Group 2 only; Data

Groups 1 and 3; Data Groups 3 and 4; or no Data Groups.

2. Scan the START bar code to place the imager in Programming

Mode.

3. Scan the SET CODE 4/5DATA GROUP CHARACTERS bar

code.

4. Turn to

Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the digits repre-

senting the Data Group designation(s) chosen in the first step

above. A digit of value zero (0) selects “no group.” For example,

scanning 3 and 0 would output only the character(s) set for Data

Group 3 whenever Code 4 or Code 5 bar code was scanned. Scan-

ning digits 1 and 2 would output both Data Groups 2 and 3. To

select no Data Groups at all, scan 0, then 0 again.

5. Scan the SET bar code to accept the digits scanned.

6. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

1. In that chapter, you can select which character(s) and position(s) to place Data Characters

within scanned data output.

NOTE

The options in this section set Data Group Characters

for Code 4/Code symbologies ONLY. If you wish to

enable this feature for additional symbologies, turn to

the options in the section specific to the other symbol-

ogy(s).

Bluetooth Features

Features in this section are applicable only to Bluetooth (BT) models.

The Bluetooth model includes an imager and Base Station. When the

imager and Base Station are linked together, the imager will read and

decode bar codes and transmit them via a Bluetooth radio to the Base

Station. The Base Station will then transmit the bar code data to the

POS host system over the host cable. The host interfaces available from

the Base Station are the same set as the corded version of the product.

Auto Update

When this feature is enabled, an imager and its linked Base Station can automatically

ensure they stay in sync with regard to application hardware and/or configuration.

This is accomplished by the linked imager and Base Station comparing application

version number and configuration file check sum. If either is different, the Base Sta-

tion will automatically update the imager with its application/configuration.

If the units are linked, any changes made to the Base Station configuration through

the scan utility software will automatically be sent to the imager at the completion of

the programming session. By the same token, any changes made to the linked

imager’s configuration will be transmitted to the Base Station at the end of the pro-

gramming session.

The following options are available for Auto Update:

• Auto update enable — Allows both application and configuration

updating.

• Configure auto update enable — Allows only configuration updat-

ing.

• Application auto update enable — Allows only application updat-

ing

• Auto update disable — No automatic updates will be performed.

Leash Alarm

When enabled, the Leash Alarm will force the imager to sound an alarm

for a preprogrammed length of time to notify if an imager is leaving the

immediate vicinity of the Base Station. This is especially useful in

instances where the imager might inadvertently have been placed in a

bag or cart.

For this mode to be effective,

Deep Sleep Mode must be disabled. If the

imager is asleep, there is no way for it to know where it is relative to the

Base Station because communication is not active between the devices.

Bluetooth Connectivity Mode

The feature allows the imager to be linked to any Bluetooth (BT)

enabled device which can accept such a connection with other devices.

To implement this mode, follow these instructions:

1. Place the imager in Programming Mode by scanning the START

bar code.

2. Scan the “Connect to a BT Device” bar code to put the imager in

the mode enabling a link to a device other than its own Base Sta-

tion.

3. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.

4. Scan the “Begin Pin” bar code.

5. Set the four- to six-character PIN code assigned to the target Blue-

tooth device using the bar codes available in

Appendix B, Alpha-

Numeric Pad.

6. Scan the “End Pin” bar code.

7. Use the software that drives the other BT device to scan for devices

in the area. The QS6500BT imager will be displayed as "PSC

handheld scanner." Each BT device uses different methods to link,

so you’ll need to follow the instructions for the device being con-

nected to.

NOTE

The Serial Peripheral Protocol is the only inter-

face supported.
