ZB-3062 Series Scanner To program the ZB-3062, you must scan a series of programming barcodes in the correct order. On the last page of this manual you will see a table of alphanumeric barcodes, which are used to program the various options as peer your application needs.
ZBA Inc. 6.1 Interface Selection This decoder built-in scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as RS232 serial, USB virtual COM and USB HID. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable and configure the proper interface by following interface selection.
ZBA Inc. RS-232 (continued) Default Setting: Baud Rate: 115200 bps; Data Format 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit Baud Rate 9600 19200 1200 38400 2400 57600 4800 *115200 Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits,and punctuation), select 7 data bits.
Page 16
ZBA Inc. RS-232 continued RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay) duration, the scanner halts transmission until it detects another active CTS signal.
USB Virtual COM Scan the following code to program the ZB-3062 to emulate a regular RS-232-based COM port. If you are using a PC, you will need to download a driver from CD-ROM, The driver will use the next available COM port number USB Virtual COM CTS/RTS Emulation &...
ZBA Inc. System Control 7.1 Scan Scanning output: You can set the image size to a VGA resolution to accommodate older applications that require a smaller image size. When Image VGA is set to On, the resultant image is 640x480 pixels. When Image VGA is Off, the image is 752x480 pixels.
ZBA Inc. 7.2 Scan Scanning Output VGA Off *VGA On Scanning Mode *Manual/Serial Trigger Read Time-Out Manual Trigger, Low Power Presentation Mode Low Power Time-Out Presentation LED Behavior after Decode When an imager is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a bar code is decoded. If you wish to turn the LEDs off immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off bar code, below.
ZBA Inc. 7.3 Indication Beeper The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible.
ZBA Inc. Indicator LED The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Polarity LED Good Read Polarity sets the idle and active states of the LED signal. When set to Active High, the LEDs turn on when the signal shifts from low to high.
Page 23
ZBA Inc. *No Delay Short Delay (500 ms) Medium Delay (1,000 ms) Long Delay (1,500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay User-Specified Good Read Delay Reread Delay This sets the time period before the imager can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same barcode.
Page 24
ZBA Inc. Indication (continued) LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High is the brightest setting. If you have an aimer delay programmed , the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level.
Page 25
ZBA Inc. engine at 12 MHz. The illumination LED current is reduced compared to interlaced mode to limit engine peak current. The image engine software automatically maintains an approximate 25% aimer duty cycle, even when the imager exposure time is at its maximum in dark operating environments.
ZBA Inc. 7.4 Thermal and Centering Thermal Considerations Care must be taken when designing the Image Engine into any system. Internal heating of the Image Engine can occur in high duty cycle scanning applications in several ways. The high visibility aimer dissipates a significant amount of power as heat. The illumination and aiming LEDs also release heat, and are a major contributor to thermal increases in high use or in presentation mode.
Page 27
ZBA Inc. Thermal and Centering If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the imager. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the imager only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the Top, Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes. Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window.

ZBA Inc. Output Sequence Require Output Sequence When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the imager transmits all output data to the host device as is.
ZBA Inc. 7.7 Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If a imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light printing, a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the Set Print Weight bar code, set the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
ZBA Inc. Working Orientation *Upright Rotate Clockwise 90° Upside Down Rotate Counterclockwise 90° 8 Code Option if you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your imager, scan the All Symbologies On code. On the other hand, you want to decode only a particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for that particular symbology.
ZBA Inc. 8.1 Codabar Check Character Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can program the imager to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check characters. No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character. When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.

ZBA Inc. 9 String Format 9.1 Prefix/Suffix When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string. Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data.
ZBA Inc. To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes: You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
ZBA Inc. Intercharacter Delay To remove this delay, scan the Inter-character Delay bar code, then set the number of steps to 0. Scan the SAVE bar code. Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation. User Specified Inter-character Delay An inter-character delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data.
ZBA Inc. 9.2 Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
ZBA Inc. • Clear One Data Format This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 . If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing.

ZBA Inc. 9.6 OCR Templates You can create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable.
Page 71
ZBA Inc. To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan 414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), and scan the d three more times.

A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read: Reading Multi-Row OCR The ZB-3062 is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text. Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended. Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they would be entered using Quick*View.
OCR Check Character You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the security of your OCR application. The ZB-3062 can be programmed for almost any type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common check character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).
Page 74
ZBA Inc. OCR User-Defined Check Character You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the imager also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes.
ZBA Inc. 1.) at least fourteen characters long, 2.) whose first four characters are the letters “ISBN,” 3.) whose last character is a check character, and 4.) when the modulo 11 check character “0123456789X” is programmed. Please note that all these commands can be combined into a single serial programming command: OCRENA2,TMP”ISBNggggggggggggctCdddd hdddEtCdddd...
Page 77
ZBA Inc. When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this manual, the imager displays the content of a programming code. The programming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that programming code is output to the terminal.
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the ZB-3062 Engine. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
