Chapter 1 Introduction About this Manual This Product Reference Guide (PRG) is provided for users seeking advanced technical information, including connection, programming, maintenance and specifications. Overview Chapter 1, (this chapter) presents information about manual conventions, and an overview of the reader, its features and operation. Chapter 2, Setup presents information about unpacking and setting up the reader.
Telephone Technical Support If you do not have internet or email access, you may contact Datalogic technical support at (541) 349-8283 or check the back cover of your manual for more contact information. About the Reader Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings.
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available for download from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface, or they can be printed as barcodes to be scanned.

Setup Unpacking Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Datalogic Technical Support. Information is shown on page KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its original shipping container.
Setup Installing the Interface Cable RS-232 Serial Connection Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable, as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter).
Interface Selection Interface Selection Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1 starting on page 14 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example, RS-232 or USB). Scan the appropriate barcode in that section to configure your system’s correct interface type.

Chapter 5 References This section contains explanations and examples of selected barcode features. See the Configuration section for the actual barcode labels used to configure the reader. RS-232 Parameters RS-232 Only Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device.
References • RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and XOFF gate transmissions. • RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions. RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions and controls enable and disable state of scanner.
Page 237
RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Options This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error. Options are: •...
Page 238
References NAK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host com- mands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
Page 239
RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout. To set this value: 1.
Page 240
References ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries.
Page 241
RS-232 Parameters Disable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
Page 242
References Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host com- mands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar code data. 00 - 20 Characters (ASCII) Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting features in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact Technical Support page 8 (described on for more information.
References Global Prefix/Suffix Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode data) and/ or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 4. Figure 4. Prefix and Suffix Positions OR...
Data Editing Global AIM ID This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology types. AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows: •...

References Character Conversion Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
Page 251
Data Editing 4. Scan the barcode: "Select No Read String." 5. Scan the hex equivalent characters from the keypad in Appendix D that represent the desired character string in step 1 above. 6. If less than the expected string of 20 characters is selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT bar- code to terminate the string.
References 7. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming Mode. This completes the procedure. Wrong Code String The string sent in case of a mismatch (wrong code read). To set this feature: 1. Determine the desired character string (max 20). 2.

References Test Mode Multiple This parameter is active only while the scanner is in Test mode: • Disable: Test mode is possible only for a single barcode • Enable: Test mode is possible for one or more barcodes at the same time Camera Control Exposure Mode Controls the lighting system mode.
Digital Output The reader wakes up when receiving an input signal or trigger button press. The reader cannot connect to Aladdin when in sleep mode. Default is 00 (Disable). Digital Output Output Activation: Digital Output can set to be Activated/Deactivated when specified events occur. Line State: Selects whether the line is Active Low or Active High.
References Set Length 1 This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Length Control. Length 1 is the minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the barcode’s data characters only. The number of characters that can be set varies, depending on the symbology.
