06656 1 Intr odu ction Ke yboard W edge Mode As a keyboard wedge interface, the PSC scanner can be used with ter- minals provided by most of the major terminal manufactur ers. In most cases, th e PSC scanner is ea sily connecte d between the key- boar d and display of the terminal.
2 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Unpac king Y our package should include a scanner , interface cable, User ’ s Man- ual, and a plastic scann er holder . The unit shoul d be inspected immediately up on receipt to determine if any dama ge has occurred during shipment.
06656 3 Connecting the P ower Suppl y If supplied, plug the connector from the extern al power supply into the receptacle located on the housing connector .
4 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Serial Communications The PSC scanner pr ovides the user with two differ ent serial commu- nicati ons optio ns: Serial TTL and Serial RS232 co mmunicati ons. Serial TTL Mode Ser ial TTL is a seri al com munica tions inte rfac e that us es TTL/ CMOS voltage levels ranging fr om 0 to 5 volts.
06656 5 Au t o S e n s e ® Operation AutoSens e ® is a fact ory insta lled feature requested at time of order . It provides for ha nds-free or handheld o perati on.
6 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide NO Enable AutoSe nse ® NN Disable A utoSense ® T o use this mode of operation properly , the user mu st first attach the plastic scanner holder to the bracket of the stand as shown in Figure 1. The (NO) Enable AutoSense ® programmin g symbol is scanned until the green “ Go od Decode ” light blinks.
06656 7 W and Emulation Operation T o operate the PSC scanner in W and Emulation the user must first turn off the powerto the host device and then detach the scanne r fr om the host device by r emoving the cable from the scan ner .

06656 11 P arame ters Selecti on Guidelin es Three basic steps must be followed whe n selecting parame ters for your scanner . 1. Review this manual to be sur e you understand the terminol ogy . 2. Review the r equirem ents of your host system, with a techni- cal expert fr om your company , if necessary .
12 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide 1. Scan the bar code beside Inter character Delay = XX and lis- ten for one short-hi gh beep. 2. After the beep, scan the bar code beside 0 o n the Digit Selec- tion page and listen for one short-high beep.
06656 13 Serial Communication Reset Def ault T o program the communication mode for serial asynchr onous com- municatio n, scan the following la bel: CA Select Serial Output Baud Rate There are seven stan dard serial co mmunication baud rates to select fro m.
14 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Data T ransmis sion Serial transmission data is composed of three o f four differ ent ele- ments, depending upon host system requir ements. These elements are the ST AR T bit, DA T A bits (7 or 8 bits), OPTIONAL P ARITY bits, and ST OP bit (s) (1 o r 2 bits).
06656 15 If your system requires a WORD len gth of 8 bits, 1 or 2 ST OP bits, and P AR ITY check, select the appropriate option from the table below: 72M a r k EF 72S p a c e EE T able 2. 8 Bit Option s Data Stop Bits P arity Option 81O d d EL 81E v e n EK 81M a r k EJ 81S p a c e EI T able 1.
16 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide If y ou r s ys t e m r eq ui re s a WO R D le n g th o f 8 b i ts a nd 1 or 2 S TO P b i t s, but no P ARITY , select th e option below: P AR ITY check is no t possibl e with this com bination of STOP bits an d WORD l ength.
06656 17 CTS Like XON/XO FF protocol, CTS protocol is a mechanism used to con- trol da ta flow out. The CTS input is used to inform the scanner that the host terminal is r eady to accept scann ed data. When CTS (+) pr o- tocol is selected , the scanner waits for a lo w level on its CTS input befor e transmitting data.
18 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Anoth er flo w contr ol o ption is av ailabl e. If e nabled, the st op/go pr o- tocol disables the trigger after every successful scan. The trigger is then re-en abled with a serial ‘ BG ’ comman d in format <STX ><ESC >BG< ETX> .
06656 19 Label Buffering The user may select one of three levels of serial buf fering. W it h Full Buffering (the default) selected, the scanner will place all scanned labels into a buffer for transmissi on. This allo ws the operator to con- tinue scanning even though the pr evious label may not have been transmitted yet.
20 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Menu Comma nds Para meter Messages In serial mode, most men u commands when sca nned will provide a confirmation message to the host along with the ACK.
06656 21 HF Extern al T r igger(-) General P arameters Inter character Dela y Certain terminals a nd computers require an intercharacter delay to simulate the ef fects of keystroke delays . Choosing an intercharacter delay causes th e characters to be sent a t the slower sp eed require d by the device to which you are interfacing.
22 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide T ransmission Mode Full Duplex or Half Duplex T ra nsmission m ode selects either full or half duplex o peration regard- less of interface. In the half duplex mod e, the decoded message is sent simultaneous ly to the display and to the host computer .
06656 23 ZB Di splay Conf igur ation When Option ZC is scanned, the pr ogram version followed by car- riage return- line feed characters (CR-LF) is sent in the form at <softwar e name> SP<###> (WD HB 3.86, for exa mple). ZC T ransmit V ersio n Number P ower Consumption Y ou may choo se one of two Power Co nsumption modes.
24 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide BE Enable 4 Times Laser Redundanc y Laser Timeout The scan beam will activate in response to a trigger pull. The beam will autom atically de activate after a label is decoded. If a label is not decoded., th e scan bea m will timeout and deactiva te after several sec- onds.
06656 25 A C Beeper On; V olume Medium AD Beeper On; V olume Loud *#@ Message Fo rmatting Message formatting des cribes how to format the data (decoded string) that is sent from the scanner to the host.
26 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Pref ix A pref ix is a subset of the pr eamble normally formatted to some industry standard, i.e., it is repr esented by a specific ASCII code. A n example of a pr efix is the STX (Start of T ransmission) code. IA Prefix = None*# IB Prefix = STX IC Prefix = SOH Suffix A suf fix is a subset of the Postamble.
06656 27 MF Suffix = CR and LF * Users also have the ability to select any ASCII chara cter for use as a suffi x. Scan the MJ label, th en scan two labels fr om the Hexadecimal Con- version T able represen ting the character needed for the suf fix. Certain speciali zed applicatio ns require a two character suffix of ETB NUL.
28 User ’ s / Programmi ng Guide Code Iden tifier A code identifier may optionally be transmitted with the message. This option is pr ovided so a host computer can identify the type of bar code sca nned, as well as th e encoded informatio n. Scan Option F A to disable the code identifier .
06656 29 Preamble or P ostam ble Selec tion Preambles an d Postambles are composed of up to four ASCII charac- ters. Each ASCII character is encode d as two hexadecimal num bers. Use t he Hexa deci mal Co nversi on T able in Append ix A to look u p the hexadecimal eq uivalent.
