Introduction This chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, techniques involved in scanning bar codes, general instructions and tips about scanning, and decode zone diagrams. Figure 2-1 Parts Scan Trigger Scan Window LED Indicators Tether Plate

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Beeper Definitions The scanner emits different beeper sequences and patterns to indicate its status. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner. LED Definitions In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner uses the two-color LED to indicate its status. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning. Scanning in Hand-Held Mode Install and program the scanner (see Setting Up the Scanner on page 1-2). For assistance, contact the local supplier or the Symbol Global Customer Interaction Center. 1. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter). 2. Aim the scanner at the bar code. Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Standard Use 1 short high beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. The scanner can be tilted up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-3). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. Figure 2-3 Optimum Scan Angles 65° 65°

Introduction The scanner can be programed to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for the scanner. The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming may not be necessary. Feature values are set by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. To return all features to their default values, scan the Set All Defaults on page 4-3. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*). Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, only one bar code needs to be scanned to set a specific parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, simply scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-3. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as specifying Laser On Time, require scanning several bar codes. See Laser On Time on page 4-5 for a description of this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. *High Frequency Feature/Option * Indicates Default

LS3400 Product Reference Guide User Preferences Default Parameters Table 4-1 lists the defaults for user preferences parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in User Preferences on page 4-3. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters. Table 4-1 User Preferences Default Table Parameter Default Page Number User Preferences Set Default Parameter All Defaults 4-3 Beeper Tone High 4-3 Beeper Volume High 4-4 Power Mode Reduced Power 4-4 Laser On Time 3.0 sec 4-5 Beep After Good Decode Disable 4-6 Trigger Mode Level 4-6 Aim Duration 0.0 sec 4-7

User Preferences Set Default Parameter Scanning this bar code returns all parameters to the default values listed in Table A-1 on page A-1. Set All Defaults Beeper Tone To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the Low Frequency, Medium Frequency, or High Frequency bar code. Low Frequency Medium Frequency *High Frequency

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Beeper Volume To select a beeper volume, scan the Low Volume, Medium Volume, or High Volume bar code. Low Volume Medium Volume *High Volume Power Mode This parameter determines whether or not the scanner enters reduced power mode after a decode attempt. When in reduced power mode, the scanner draws less current from its power source. Continuous On *Reduced Power Mode

Laser On Time This parameter sets the maximum time that decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default Laser On Time is 3.0 seconds. To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example, to set a Laser On Time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the “0” and “5” bar codes. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3. Laser On Time NOTE To optimize decode performance, you must set a longer Laser On Time for the attached decoder than the Laser On Time of the LS3400.

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Beep After Good Decode Scan a bar code below to select whether or not the scanner beeps after a good decode. If Do Not Beep After Good Decode is selected, the beeper still operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions. Beep After Good Decode (Enable) *Do Not Beep After Good Decode (Disable) Trigger Mode The scanner has three trigger modes that can be used to scan bar codes. The desired trigger mode can be set by using the bar codes below. Level Trigger When the trigger is pulled, an aiming dot appears for a programmable duration of time. After this time, the aiming dot automatically turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is released. If the trigger is released before the aiming duration expires, the laser shuts off and no decode occurs. *Level NOTE To optimize decode performance, you must set a longer Laser On Time for the attached decoder than the sum of the Aim Duration and the Laser On Time of the LS3400.

Trigger Mode (continued) Two Stage - Option 1 When the trigger is pulled, an aiming dot appears. This aiming dot remains while the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is released, the aiming dot automatically turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs or a decode occurs. If the trigger is pulled again while in a decode session, the scanner beam returns to an aiming dot. Two Stage - Option 1 Two Stage - Option 2 When the trigger is pulled, an aiming dot appears. When the trigger is released, the aiming dot turns off. Pulling the trigger twice in rapid succession turns on the standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam, stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is released. Two Stage - Option 2 Aim Duration When the scanner is in Level trigger mode (default mode), Aim Duration sets the amount of time the aiming dot is seen before turning into a scanning beam. This parameter has no affect when the scanner is in either of the Two Stage trigger modes. See Trigger Mode on page 4-6 for a description of each of the trigger modes. The aim duration is programmable in 0.1 second increments, from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default Aim Duration is 0.0 seconds. When set to 0.0 seconds, no aiming pattern appears before a decode session. To set an aim duration, scan the bar code below. Then scan two numeric bar codes, available in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes, that correspond to the desired aim duration. Durations less than 1.0 seconds must have a leading zero. For example, to set an aim duration of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, followed by the ‘0’ and the ‘5’ bar codes. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Introduction This chapter describes all symbology features and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for the scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 6-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming may not be necessary. Features values are set by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3. Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, only one bar code needs to be scanned to set a specific parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code listed under Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1 Check Digit on page 6-10. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require that several bar codes be scanned in the proper sequence. See the individual parameter, like Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Enable Discrete 2 of 5 *Disable Discrete 2 of 5 Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5 The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Lengths for D 2 of 5 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3. D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length

Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5 (continued) Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two selected lengths.

Redundancy Level The scanner offers four levels of decode redundancy. Higher redundancy levels are selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As redundancy levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases. Select the redundancy level appropriate for the bar code quality. Redundancy Level 1 The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded: *Redundancy Level 1 Redundancy Level 2 The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded: Redundancy Level 2 Code Type Code Length Codabar 8 characters or less MSI 4 characters or less D 2 of 5 8 characters or less I 2 of 5 8 characters or less Code Type Code Length All All

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Redundancy Level 3 Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times: Redundancy Level 3 Redundancy Level 4 The following code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded: Redundancy Level 4 Code Type Code Length MSI Plessey 4 characters or less D 2 of 5 8 characters or less I 2 of 5 8 characters or less Codabar 8 characters or less Code Type Code Length All All

Security Level The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner decode speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application. Security Level 0 This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes. *Security Level 0 Security Level 1 As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level. Security Level 1 Security Level 2 If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level. Security Level 2 Security Level 3 If Security Level 2 has been tried, and the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level of security may significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes. Security Level 3

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Bi-directional Redundancy Bi-directional Redundancy is used for added security to linear code type security levels.

Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Miscellaneous Scanner Options Introduction This chapter includes commonly used bar codes to customize how the data is transmitted to the host device. In addition to these bar codes for data formatting, see each host chapter for the appropriate host connections and host device features for the scanner. See Chapter 6, Symbologies for customizing data for transmission to the host device. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the Miscellaneous Scanner Options Default Table on page 7-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming may not be necessary. Features values are set by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, only one bar code needs to be scanned to set a specific parameter value. Parameters, such as Prefix Value, require that several bar codes be scanned in the proper sequence. See each individual parameter for descriptions of this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.

LS3400 Product Reference Guide Miscellaneous Default Parameters Table 7-1 lists the defaults for miscellaneous scanner options parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters section beginning on page 7-3. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
