Page 21: Introduction
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The Symbol PL4507 is a companion decoder module for the Symbol SE4500 imager engine, and controls the imager, acquires images, and decodes 1D and 2D symbologies. For information on the SE4500 imager engine, refer to the Symbol SE4500 Integration Guide, p/n 72-112996-xx.
Page 22: Theory Of Operation
If necessary, the engine automatically adjusts illumination, exposure, and other parameters to obtain the best quality image. The SE4500 sends the image to Symbol PL4507 decoder board. The PL4507 processes the image to identify the target bar code(s), decodes them, and transmits the decoded data to the host.

Select Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the decoder from using decoding illumination.
Page 77: Aim Brightness
Imager Preferences 5 - 7 Aim Brightness Parameter # F1h 9Ch This feature sets the brightness of the aim pattern. The default is 0, which indicates that the aim pattern is always on in between camera exposures. For values above 0, each increment of the brightness value increments the aim duration 0.5 ms.
Page 78: Low Light Enhancement
5 - 8 Symbol PL4507 Decoder Integration Guide Low Light Enhancement Parameter # F1h 64h In presentation mode, selecting Enable Low Light Enhancement causes illumination to remain on at a low power in low lighting conditions.

Page 81: Gain
Imager Preferences 5 - 11 Gain Parameter # F4h F0h A7h This parameter only applies when Decoding or Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data before it is converted into 8-bit grayscale values. Increasing the gain increases brightness and contrast, but also increases noise (undesired electrical fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less attractive and/or harder to decode.

Page 103: Chapter 6: Ssi Interface Introduction
This chapter describes the system requirements of the Simple Serial Interface (SSI), which provides a communications link between Motorola decoders (e.g., scan engines, slot scanners, hand-held scanners, two-dimensional scanners, hands-free scanners, and RF base stations) and a serial host. It provides the means for the host to control the decoder or scanner.
Page 104 6 - 2 Symbol PL4507 Decoder Integration Guide Table 6-1 lists all the SSI opcodes the decoder supports. It identifies the SSI partner allowed to send a message of each type. The host transmits opcodes designated type H. The decoder transmits type D opcodes, and either partner can transmit Host/Decoder (H/D) types.
Page 105: Ssi Transactions
If you enable ACK/NAK handshaking, all packeted messages must have a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK response, unless the command description states otherwise. This parameter is enabled by default. Motorola recommends leaving this handshaking enabled to provide feedback to the host. Raw decode data and WAKEUP do not use ACK/NAK handshaking since they are not packeted data.
Page 106: Transfer Of Decode Data
6 - 4 Symbol PL4507 Decoder Integration Guide Transfer of Decode Data The Decode Data Packet Format parameter controls how decode data is sent to the host. Set this parameter to send the data in a DECODE_DATA packet. Clear this parameter to transmit the data as raw ASCII data.
Page 107: Communication Summary
ACK/NAK Option Enable or disable ACK/NAK handshaking. This handshaking is enabled by default and Motorola recommends leaving it enabled. Disabling this handshaking can cause communication problems, as handshaking is the only acknowledgment that a message was received, and if it was received correctly. ACK/NAK is not used with unpacketed decode data regardless of whether or not it is enabled.
Page 108: Serial Response Time-Out
Set the same value for both the host and decoder. NOTE You can temporarily change the Serial Response Time-out when the host takes longer to process an ACK or longer data string. Motorola does not recommend frequent permanent changes due to limited write cycles of non-volatile memory.
Page 109: Using Time Delay To Low Power Mode With Ssi
SSI Interface 6 - 7 Using Time Delay to Low Power Mode with SSI Time Delay to Low Power Mode on page 4-12 provides bar codes to select a general time delay. To program a more specific delay value, use an SSI command according to Table 6-2.
