Page 3 Chapter 1 Overview First of all, thank you for choosing Unitech’s products. This decoder build-in scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge, RS232 terminal wedge, wand emulation, and the latest USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable with a device code w[...]

Page 4 Chapter 2 Keyboard Interface As a keyboard Interface, the scanner is actually installed between PC (or terminal) and keyboard. See Figure 1 for reference. The scanner sends data to the host device by emulating the keyboard signals input and acts like an extension of the keyboard. 2.1 Installation This scanner can be installed easily by follo[...]

Page 5 7) If nothing happens at step 6, check all cable connections first and make sure your PC or terminal has been powered. Contact technical support if problem remains after these checking. 8) Unless the scanner has been prior installed for the PC/terminal, user may have to select a proper device number from Group 1 of Appendix D. 9) The Default[...]

Page 6 2.4 Installed as an USB Interface You can install the scanner with the USB interface cable to work with either PC or iMac USB port. See Figure 1.1 for reference. Your operating system may require the original setup CD to install the driver with initial setup. PC or iMAC Keyboard Figure 1.1. Installed as an USB Interface USB Interface Cable M[...]

Page 7 your scanning speed, a longer interblock delay may ensure the data integrity. Function Code The scanner can emulate function and other special keys on the keyboard by scanning some pre-defined labels. Appendix B includes those labels for special keys on PC, Macintosh, and IBM terminals. As an option, you may also print these labels by printi[...]

Page 8 Chapter 3 RS232 Serial Interface 3.1 Installation To use the scanner as a RS232 serial interface, a RS232 interface cable and a power adapter are required. See Chapter 8 for cable pinout and adapter specification. Figure 2 shows an installation diagram for your reference. Installation procedures: 1) Make sure the scanner’s cable has the ri[...]

Page 9 3.2 Understanding the Operating Parameters Device Type You will need to select the device type to “Serial Interface” from Appendix A, Group 1 of Appendix D, or the following label. Serial Interface Baud Rate, Parity and Data Bit: These parameters set the scanner’s communication protocol that must be matched by the host. The default set[...]

Page 10 BCC Character: BCC check character is calculated for entire data stream by using “Exclusive OR ” method. It is sent after data stream for data verification. Time Out: You can adjust the Time Out duration for handshaking and ACK/NAK protocol to fit applications. 3.3 Serial TTL This scanner supports serial TTL interface which follows the [...]

Page 11 Chapter 4 Terminal Interface 4.1 Installation To install the scanner as a terminal interface, you need a DB25 RS232 cable, a terminal wedge “Y” cable and an AC adapter. See Figure 3 for reference. Figure 3. Installing as a Terminal Wedge Host Terminal AC adaptor SCANNER RS232 Cable "Y" Cable Original Cable female male Installa[...]

Page 13 Chapter 5 Wand Emulation 5.1 Installation Figure 4 shows how a wand emulation scanner is installed to a data collection terminal. User needs to pay attention to the scanner pinout that should be the same as specified by the terminal. Figure 4.

Page 15 Chapter 6 Setup The scanner interface can be configured to fit the user's specific application. All configuration parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory, which is retained even if power is lost. 6.1 Bar Code Menu Setup The setup menu in Appendix D contains eight groups: * Group 1: Device selection. * Group 2: Beep and delay. * [...]

Page 16 6.1.2 Bar Code Length Setting: The following example illustrates how to set Code 39 with a minimum length of 5 and a maximum length of 20: * Scan “Enter Group 5”. * Scan “F1” to select Code 39. * Scan “MIN LENGTH” to enter minimum length setting. * Scan “0” and “5” to select length 5. * Scan “MIN LENGTH” to end minim[...]

Page 17 Those ID characters can be redefined through setup menu. The following example shows how to set Code 93 with ID ‘O’ and Code 128 without ID: * Scan “Enter Group 3”. * Scan “D2” to select Code ID. * Scan “1” for "Yes". * Scan “D3” to define IDs. * Scan “0” and “9” for selecting Code 93. * Scan “O” fr[...]

Page 18 Here is an example how to define the output of “Label 0” as “START”, “Label 1” as “ACCEPT” and “Label 2” as “END”: * Scan “Enter Group 3” * Scan “B7” * Scan “0” to define “Label 0” * Scan “S”, “T”, “A”, “R” and “T” from Full ASCII chart * Scan “B7” to end “Label 0” * Scan ?[...]

Page 19 The following label is called “Dump Settings” label. Before you scan the label, please open a text editor application(such like, Notepad, Word, etc..) Scan the following label, the settings of the scanner will dump to the screen as one or several ASCII string(s). Use any barcode printing software, select Code 39 symbology, and use the s[...]

Page 20 The following issues should be observed: • The sequence of the strings that the scanner dumped is important. You have to print the bar code labels and scan them in the same sequence as the one that the scanner dumped. • When you scan the batch setup labels to configure a scanner, the previous settings on that scanner are reset to defaul[...]

Page 21 Chapter 7 Output Data Editing The function described here can be replaced by the “Pre-defined Labels” function in 6.1.5 Predefined Labels . So if data-editing function is defined, “Pre-defined Labels” will be removed. They can not be defined at the same time. 7.1. General The purpose of Data Edit is allowing you to define and modify[...]
