Multi-interface Miniscan products fall into the TTL RS-232 device category. All standard RS-232 cables available from Motorola for the Miniscan family measure six feet or less, and should not present a problem. If a particular host does not support TTL levels, a separate conversion cable is available (25-62186-xx) which contains electronics to adapt the TTL levels of a multi-interface Miniscan into standard RS-232 levels.

3 - 2 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD Scan Patterns The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD generate different scan patterns (Smart Raster and High Density Single Scan Line) based on the software command received at the interface. Use the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols.
Symbol MS3207 Scan Patterns The Symbol MS3207 generates four scan patterns based on the software command received at the interface. These patterns are Smart Raster, Semi-omnidirectional, Omnidirectional, and High Density Single Scan Line. Use the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols. The omnidirectional pattern reads 1D bar codes in an omnidirectional manner.
3 - 4 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide Omnidirectional Scan Pattern The high-speed rotating omnidirectional scan pattern provides aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because there are no “holes” in the pattern. This ensures fast throughput at the point of activity and the ability to read 1D symbols in 360 of rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.
Position the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. RIGHT 012345 Position at an Angle Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode. Trigger Options Continuous (Default) The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active.
When a bar code is presented, the laser remains on until either the bar code is decoded or removed, or the session timeout expires. Once the bar code is decoded, the scanner does not decode it again until the bar code is removed.
If three beeps occur during normal operation, it is due to a reset and any work in progress is lost. If this occurs often, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.

Beeper Tone To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the appropriate bar code. Beeper Frequency Adjustment This parameter adjusts the frequency of the high beeper tone from the nominal 2500 Hz to another frequency matching the resonances of the installation. Program this in 10 Hz increments from 1220 Hz to 3770 Hz. To increase the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on that correspond to the desired frequency adjustment divided by 10.
10 - 10 Symbol MiniScan MSXX07 Series Integration Guide Laser On Time This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next scan two numeric bar codes beginning on correspond to the desired on time.
This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt. In Low Power mode, the scanner enters into a low power consumption mode when possible, provided all WAKEUP signals are released. In Continuous On mode, power remains on after each decode attempt.

If you enabled Programmable Raster or Always Raster, this parameter selects the laser pattern’s height and rate of expansion.
This option sets the minimum duration of not decoding data before the scanner decodes a second (different) bar code. Use this in Continuous mode to prevent the scanner from decoding when a different symbol appears in the scanner's field of view before the timeout period between decodes expires. This is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds.

• The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any scanned data.
Page 207
When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
