There are specific firmware settings which are used to configure the modems hardware and software for proper operation and regulatory compliance. The terminals application can control these settings and enable you to view and amend the settings for country/region, pulse/tone dialing, or repeat dial timing. Incorrectly defining these settings can lead to illegal use of the modem and can create unreliable operation. The application developer should consult the Series 3000 Application Programmers Reference Manual for correct settings. 2-9 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Connecting to the Telephone Network A compliant telephone cord is required with an RJ-11 plug connection to the modem, terminated with an appropriate and correctly wired local telecom connector compatible with the telephone network. Such a cable may be obtained from your local supplier. Alternately, compliant RJ-11 plugs to RJ-11 plug cables may be used with a range of adapters for locations such as Europe.

! Host Computer. Refer to Chapter 2, Accessories Setup for setting up the cradles or PC Adapter for communications. 3-1 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Communications For terminals being used in a direct communications (batch) environment or a Spectrum One network environment, applications are transferred from a host computer to the terminal:

over a communications line using a null modem connected to the cradle OR through the PC Adapter. The procedure uses the SENDHEX program on the host computer and the Program Loader function (from Command Mode) on the terminal. Programs are stored in the terminals nonvolatile memory (NVM), also called the application EEPROM. Note: For details on the SENDHEX program, refer to the Series 3000 Application Programmer's Manual. Other software may be used in place of the SENDHEX program. Downloading the Program To download the program, initiate the communications software on the host computer and terminal as described in the following sections. Note: To cancel communications at any time during the session, press CLEAR on the terminal. The session stops immediately. Communications parameters specified on the host and the terminal must match. These parameters typically are:

38400 bps 7-bit parity Odd parity Xon/Xoff flow control To program the EEPROM, the terminal must be connected to the host through a cradle, CCM 38/6860, or PC Adapter with PIM. 3-2 Batch and Spectrum One Terminal Setup Initiate Host Communications Software If using a cradle (CCM 38/6860, CRD 38/6866, CRD 38/6865), do steps 1-3.

Refer to Booting the Terminal on page 5-4. 3-6 Chapter 4 Spectrum24 RF Terminal Setup Spectrum24 Terminals In Spectrum24 terminals, wireless connectivity is accomplished using standard communications protocols. Because they are standard, the protocols are generalized and take up considerably more space on the terminals NVM than is required for Spectrum One terminals. Because there is less space available in NVM for application files, the terminal operates with an additional megabyte of non-volatile memory or flash disk. This extra memory is used to reduce not only the boot times but also the time and resources required to load applications into the terminal. The flash disk also offers the possibility of running multiple applications from the same terminal (refer to the Spectrum24 Setup and Utilities Reference Guide p/n 72-50795-01 for more information). With version 3.03 or later of the system software (LWP.HEX), the terminal can also run diagnostic tools. Accessing the Flash Disk The flash disk is accessed through a driver, FLASHDSK.SYS, which makes the flash disk appear to a program as another disk drive (E:). The drive has characteristics of fast reading but slow writing (for example, even for the smallest files, the write process takes 3-4 seconds). These characteristics make it ideal for files that are written once, accessed often, and seldom updated. We recommend that you use the flash disk (E:) mainly for application and configuration file storage. It is important to note that because of the slow writing time (3-4 seconds), writing files during a power interruption (low battery, dead battery, suspend, power off, or power failure) could corrupt the disk. Be sure to only write data to the disk with the terminal connected to external power or with the battery fully charged to avoid problems. To avoid overwriting the flash disk by mistake, the flash disk is set to read-only mode for normal 4-1 Series 6800 Product Reference Guide operation. The software installation or application software takes care of write/read mode switching for you. Standard Spectrum24 Software The terminal comes with the system software installed, including:

Spectrum24 radio drivers

! TCP/IP software

configuration files various utilities.

A BIOS of version 3.08 or later is required. The default files cover most expected installations/initializations with minor changes as detailed in this chapter. If your requirements are more advanced, refer to the Spectrum24 Network Terminal Technical Reference Guide (p/n 70-20193-XX) for more information on the Spectrum24 RF network, SLAODI.COM, the Symbol-provided ODI driver, and the configuration file setups required for various platforms. Refer to the Spectrum24 Setup and Utilities Reference Guide (p/n 72-50795-XX) for more information on Spectrum24 boot options, addressing, initializing the terminal, and Access Point (AP) associations. 4-2 Chapter 5 Operating the PDT 6800 Series Introduction This chapter describes how to operate a PDT 6800 Series terminal, including:

Powering the terminal on and off Booting the terminal PDT 6842 - Switching 802.11 to Spring RF protocol

! Adjusting the display contrast

Entering data using the keyboard Entering data using the scanner

! Communicating with a PC or printer

! Communicating on an RF network. 5-1 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Powering the Terminal On There are several ways to power on a terminal. Each way lets you resume at the same location in the application where you left off. Note: The PDT 6800 Series terminal always checks for enough battery power for safe operation before it powers on. Removing Terminal From a Cradle The terminal automatically powers on when it is removed from a cradle. While the terminal is in the cradle, the NiCd battery is constantly being charged. If you remove the terminal from the cradle but do not use it right away, press the PWR key to turn it off, or let it power off automatically. Refer to the section Restoring Power After Automatic Shutdown on page 53. Note: The Lithium Ion battery is charged in the UBC 2000 battery adapter p/n 21-32665-24, not in the cradle. Keyboard Your terminal can be programmed to power on from the keyboard by:

Pressing the PWR key only Pressing any key. If you press the PWR key while the terminal is in the cradle, the terminal powers on. If you leave the terminal in the cradle and press PWR to turn the terminal off, it appears to turn off, but is on very low power. See the Series 3000 Application Programmer's Guide for more information on programming your keyboard. Real-Time Clock If the application program allows it, the terminal can be powered on by the real-time clock. This lets the terminal perform unattended operations such as an overnight communication session. 5-2 Operating the PDT 6800 Series Laser Trigger If the application program allows, you can power on the terminal by pulling the trigger. Restoring Power After Automatic Shutdown The terminal shuts off if you do not use it for an amount of time set by your application. Press the PWR key or press the trigger to restore power and return to your application. Powering the Terminal Off To perform a normal power off, press the PWR key or let the terminal shut down automatically as programmed. See your application guide or the section Restoring Power After Automatic Shutdown for more information. Consult your system administrator if you are unable to power off the terminal. Forcing Power Off If pressing the PWR key does not turn off the terminal, force the power off to reduce battery drain and preserve your data. To force power off, press and hold the PWR key for 15 seconds, until the terminal powers down. Restarting After a Forced Power Off When a terminal is powered off because of software or hardware failure, use the following methods to restart:

! Use the warm-boot procedure for a software failure.

! When a warm boot fails, use the cold-boot procedure.

If a system software problem in the nonvolatile memory (NVM) occurs, see Chapter 3, Batch and Spectrum One Terminal Setup. Note: Do not use the PWR key to restart a terminal when it was forced off due to defective system or application software in the NVM. Pressing the PWR key causes the program to resume where it stopped, trying to perform the same unsuccessful operation. 5-3 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Booting the Terminal Powering the terminal on does not boot the system or initialize the program or data. To initialize the terminal, perform either a warm boot or cold boot. Warm Boot A warm boot resets the operating system while preserving the program and data on the RAM disk. This process is similar to pressing the <Ctrl+Alt+Del> keys on a PC, except that it does not clear the systems memory. To perform a warm boot:

For the 35-Key terminal:

" Power the terminal off

" Press and hold <F> and <J>

" Press and release <PWR>

" Release <F> and <J>. For the 46-Key terminal:

" Power the terminal off

" Press and hold <4> and <5>

" Press and release <PWR>

" Release <4> and <5>. The terminal displays configuration information, copyright, RAM size, and expanded memory RAM size. Other information displayed depends on the operating system, installed device drivers, and AUTOEXEC.BAT commands. If this warm boot procedure fails to restart the terminal, use the Cold Boot procedure. Cold Boot A cold boot fully resets the system and clears memory, including the RAM disk. Any programs and data stored in memory or on the RAM disk are deleted. Nonvolatile memory

(NVM - the Application EEPROM) is not affected. If the cold-boot procedure fails to restart the terminal, see Chapter 7, Error Recovery and Troubleshooting. Caution This procedure permanently erases all data and software in the terminal un-

less they reside in NVM. Contents of RAM are lost. 5-4 Operating the PDT 6800 Series To perform a cold boot:

For the 35-Key terminal:

" Power the terminal off

" Press and hold <SPACE>, <FUNC>, and Up Arrow

" Press and release <PWR>

" Release <SPACE>, <FUNC>, and Up Arrow. For the 46-Key terminal:

" Power the terminal off

" Press and hold <A>, <B>, and <D>

" Press and release <PWR>

" Release <A>, <B>, and <D>. The terminal displays version information, copyright, RAM size, and installed expanded memory RAM size. Other information displayed depends on the operating system, installed device drivers, and AUTOEXEC.BAT commands. Cold-Boot Failure During a cold boot, the system briefly displays a status line for each driver as it loads in the format:

0: Driver

The line shows a status value, usually 0, followed by the name and version number of the driver. If the system halts at one of these lines and displays a status value other than 0, the displayed device driver failed to load properly. If such a failure occurs, try cold booting the terminal again. If this does not solve the problem, call the Symbol Support Center. More troubleshooting information is provided in the publications listed in Related Publications on page x. 5-5 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide PDT 6842 - Switching 802.11 to Spring RF Protocol After a cold boot, the PDT 6842 boots up with the 802.11 RF protocol. If you are using the Spring RF protocol, do the following to switch from 802.11 to Spring:

1. Cold boot the terminal. The following prompt displays:

SOFTWARE UPDATE Update?[y/n]:

2. Within four seconds, type the letter y. If you do not type the letter y within four seconds, the terminal boots up with the 802.11 RF protocol. The next prompt displays:

RF PROTOCOL UPDATE OPPORTUNITY Update RF protocol

[y/n]:

3. Within ten seconds, type the letter y. If you do not type the letter y within ten seconds, the terminal boots up with the 802.11 RF protocol. The next prompt displays:

" Release <BKSP> and <SHIFT>. For the 46-Key terminal:

" Power the terminal off

" Press and hold <F> and <I>

" Press and release <PWR>

" Release <F> and <I>. Adjusting the Display Display Contrast The screens contrast is adjustable to eight levels, making the display more readable in different lighting conditions, at various temperatures, and at different viewing angles.

To reduce (lighten) display contrast, press FUNC Y. To increase (darken) display contrast, press FUNC X. Backlighting The backlight illuminates the display in dimly lit areas. 5-7 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Note: Use of backlighting can significantly reduce battery life. To turn the backlight on or off, press FUNC then L, or use the key sequence listed in your application guide. The backlight turns off automatically when the terminal is powered off or when the terminal has not been used for an amount of time set by the application. See the Series 3000 Application Programmer's Guide for more information. PDT 6800 Series Keyboard The keyboard is used for entering data and issuing commands to the terminal. Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 illustrate the standard 35-key and 46-key keyboards respectively. The keys on the keyboard are distinguished as modifier keys and character keys. Because terminal keyboards have fewer keys than PC keyboards, each character key can produce more than the usual one or two characters. The modifier keys, SHF (Shift), CTL, and FUNC, used individually or in combination, determine which character or special function the character keys produce. Because the keyboard is programmable, your terminal may not work as described here. For more information and illustrations of other keyboard states, see the Series 3000 Application Programmer's Guide and your application guide. FUNC ALPHA CLEAR SHIFT PWR

If the terminal has been programmed for it (ERR3000 is loaded), and if two or more keys are pressed simultaneously, the terminal indicates a Double-Key. The keyboard also has an optionally configurable auto-repeat function. If the application allows, a character repeats as long as the key is held down. If the key is pressed immediately following a modifier key, the modifier sequence affects only the first occurrence of the character key. Modifier Keys The Shift, Alpha, Function, and Control keys are modifier keys. When pressed individually or in certain combinations, these keys change the keyboard state and possibly the character produced by the character key subsequently pressed. Refer to Table 5-1 for a list of the terminals special keys. For example, pressing <FUNC> followed by <CTRL> produces Alt characters, with the same effect as pressing the Alt key on a PC. 5-9 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide To cancel the effect of a modifier key, press it again. Keyboard Speed If your application program allows it, the characters may be set to appear faster or slower. Refer to the Series 3000 Application Programmer's Manual for more information. Keyboard States The keyboard states are listed below in the order in which they take priority, unless changed by the application. Unshifted Shifted Function Control The standard cursor shapes for the keyboard states are shown in Table 6-1 on page 6-2. Momentary and Locked States Each keyboard state is either momentary or locked. A momentary state lasts for only the following keystroke. A locked state lasts until the activator key is pressed again. Only one momentary state can be active at a time. Momentary states always take priority over locked states. If you press several momentary state keys in a row, the system changes to the state of the last key pressed. For example, if you press SHF, then CTRL, the terminal enters the CONTROL state. The CTRL, SHF, and FUNC keys activate a momentary state. If you press a momentary state key twice in a row, the system enters the state and then cancels it. For example, if you press SHF, SHF, the terminal is shifted and then immediately unshifted. When batteries are low, the cursor changes. See Cursor Indicators, Table 6-1 on page 6-2. When an operator ends a momentary state (by toggling it off or by completing the key sequence), the system returns the keyboard to the last active locked state. Note: Pressing the FUNC key does not clear the last momentary state. However, pressing another momentary key after FUNC clears the FUNCTION state. 5-10 Operating the PDT 6800 Series Table 5-1.

See Appendix F, 2D Scanner Drivers and Applications for information on enabling the 2D scanner. Before scanning can occur, the terminal must be running an application that supports bar code scanning. The terminal must also be programmed to scan the type of bar code you want, such as Universal Product Code (UPC) or Code 3 of 9. For information on scanning applications and on programming the scanner, refer to the Series 3000 Application Developers Kit. Scanning 1D Bar Codes 1. Pull the trigger on the handle to power on the terminal and laser scanner. The Scan LED turns red if scanning is enabled and the laser is on. 2. Point the terminal at a slight angle to the bar code and pull the trigger. Figure 5-3. Using the Laser Scanner 3. Ensure that the scan beam crosses all bars and spaces on the 1D bar code symbol, as shown below. Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Right Wrong 5-12 Operating the PDT 6800 Series 4. Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols, and closer for symbols with bars that are close together. Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics, but more combinations work within 4 to 10 inches. If the decode is successful, the screen displays the code and the Scan LED turns from red to green. The terminal may also beep. 5. Note: The procedure for your scanner may differ from the one given above. Scanner use depends on the application. Scanning 2D Bar Codes The terminal supports PDF417 bar code scanning. The raster pattern has multiple scanning rows to accommodate the PDF417 symbols multiple rows. 1. Point the scanner at the bar code and press the trigger. 2. As the raster pattern spreads, keep the pattern in the same horizontal plane as the bar code. 3/4 3/4 Figure 5-4. Raster Pattern 3. If the decode is successful, the screen displays the code and the Scan LED turns from red to green. The terminal may also beep. Note: The procedure for your scanner may differ from the one given above. Scanner use depends on the application. 5-13 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Tall PDF Bar Codes If the PDF417 symbol is tall, the vertical scan pattern may not be high enough to cover it. In this case, try a slow up and down scanning motion. With the raster pattern open, move the terminal slowly down toward the bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam horizontal to the rows, then slowly back up toward the top. Figure 5-5. Scanning Tall PDF Bar Code The scan beam does not have to be perfectly parallel with the top and bottom of the symbol. Scanning Considerations Usually, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, and a few quick trial efforts master it simply and intuitively. However, two important considerations can optimize any scanning technique angle and range. Aiming: Hold at an Angle Do not hold the terminals scan window directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scan window from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can blind the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a dead zone. 5-14 You can tilt the terminal up to 55 forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. Operating the PDT 6800 Series Figure 5-6. Scanning Angle and Specular Reflection Range Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics. Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. You need to find the right working range for the bar codes you are scanning. The best general advice is:

! Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

! Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

Start scanning at a distance from the bar code, not from direct contact. If the bar code does not readily decode, move the scanner in closer. Practice quickly shows what distances to work within. 5-15 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Running Communications Communicating With a Host To communicate with a host:

1. Set up the CCM 38/6860, CRD 38/6865 cradle, CRD 38/6866 cradle, or the PC adapter as described in Chapter 2, Accessories Setup. If using a cradle, place the terminal in the CCM or cradle. 2. 3.

The Lithium Ion battery pack p/n 21-40340-01 is charged by removing the battery from the terminal and charging in a UBC 2000 battery adapter p/n 21-32665-24. Refer to the UBC 2000 Quick Reference Guide for more information. 6-1 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide Battery Life Battery life is affected by many factors, including

scanning radio communications very high or very low operating temperatures backlighting use battery age. When to Replace or Recharge the Battery The PDT 6800 Series terminals provide two types of indicators to notify you when battery power is running low: warning messages and modified cursors. These indicators may be changed or disabled by an application.

LOW BATTERY - When the battery is low, the cursor changes as shown in Table 6-

1 on page 6-2. If ERR3000 is loaded, the message LOW BATTERY also appears. At this level the terminal continues to operate, but there is probably less than 1 hour of usable power left.

! VERY LOW - When the power is very low, the DEAD BATTERY message appears and the system powers off. Replace or recharge the battery pack before attempting to use the terminal. If the battery is not immediately recharged or replaced, data may be lost. Table 6-1. Cursor Indicators Keyboard State Cursor Character Low Battery Unshifted Shifted

A full charge takes about 7 hours. We recommend that you always keep the NiCd battery pack fully charged. Charging NiCd Battery pack in the Terminal Using a Cradle To charge a NiCd battery in the terminal, using the CCM 38/6860, CRD 38/6865, or CRD 38/6866 cradle (Figure 6-3):

1. Place the terminal in the cradle. The cradle charging light flashes when charging a discharged battery and remains steady when trickle-charging a charged battery. CCM 38/6860 CRD 38/6865 CRD 38/6866 Figure 6-3. Charging the Battery in the Cradle 2. Leave the terminal up to 7 hours to recharge a fully discharged battery. Charging NiCd Battery Packs Outside the Terminal Slots are provided in the CCM 38/6860 and CRD 38/6865 cradles to charge spare battery packs outside the terminal. Place the battery pack to be charged in one of the battery slots in the cradle. The LED indicator lamp under the battery slot in which the terminal was placed indicates the battery is charging. (On the CCM 38/6860, the spare-battery-charging indicator lamp is on the right.) If the lamp is off, the battery pack is not charging. A blinking LED indicates fast charge; a solid on LED means slow charge/ready. See the cradle documentation listed in Related Publications on page x for details. 6-6 Maintaining the Terminal Caution The optional communications cradles are NOT certified for use in potential-

ly hazardous environments. To charge an intrinsically safe PDT 6800 Series terminal in a cradle, remove the terminal from the potentially hazardous en-

vironment before charging. Battery Charging with the PC Adapter Refer to Chapter 2, Accessories Setup, for instructions on setting up the PC Adapter for charging. Battery charging begins automatically when power is supplied to the PC Adapter. Fully charging a battery using the PC Adapter requires 7 hours. Other Charging Options You have the option of charging battery packs in the UBC 1000 or 2000 Charger. Refer to the documentation for the charger for more information. Charging the Lithium Ion Battery Pack Note: Placing the terminal in the cradle with a Lithium Ion battery installed does not damage the battery. The Lithium Ion battery does not charge when the terminal is placed in a cradle. Use the cradle for communications and as a place holder for the terminal when a lithium Ion battery is installed. To charge the Lithium Ion battery p/n 21-40340-01, remove the battery from the terminal and charge in a UBC 2000 battery adapter p/n 21-32665-24. Refer to the UBC 2000 Quick Reference Guide for more information. Cleaning The PDT 6800 Series terminals require a minimum amount of maintenance. However, keep the terminal clean to avoid problems and prolong the terminals life. Before doing any maintenance or cleaning, power the terminal off. 6-7 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide To clean a terminal, use a clean, soft cloth dampened with a mild cleaner such as soap and water. Do not use abrasive paper, cloth, or abrasive/corrosive cleaners. Wipe the entire terminal, except for the scanner window, with the damp cloth. Clean the charging contacts, keypad, and scanner trigger. Wipe the scanner window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses. Do not pour, spray, or spill any liquid on any part of the terminal, particularly the scanner or scan element components. Storage If the terminal will not be used for a while, store it in a cool, dry place, away from dust. For the best protection, repack the terminal in the original shipping container for storage. Caution If you remove the primary battery, the terminal maintains memory contents for at least 15 minutes. To prevent loss of programs and data, transmit them to a host computer before removing the primary batteries for longer than 15 minutes. When you remove the terminal from storage without the battery pack, reset the real time clock. Refer to the Series 3000 Application Programmers Reference Manual or Series 3000 Application Programmers Guide for specific instructions. 6-8 Chapter 7 Error Recovery and Troubleshooting Introduction This chapter provides information to assist in basic troubleshooting analysis and correction, including:

Replace or recharge the battery pack immediately. This message is programmable, so it may be worded differently. See your application guide. After this message is displayed, the terminal shuts itself off. You may not be able to power it on again until the battery pack is charged. Power Fault The last terminal power off was caused by a power failure. Possible causes of a power failure include:

the battery pack is removed with the terminal on

the terminal is dropped

the batteries lose power suddenly

the terminal displays a low battery power error message, and you attempt to power the terminal on without recharging or replacing the batteries. 7-2 Error Recovery and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Table 7-2 lists some minor problems, causes, and actions to take. If you cannot resolve the problem after checking this list, call the Symbol Support Center for assistance. Table 7-2. Troubleshooting the Terminal Symptom Possible Cause Action Display is blank. Battery pack is dead or missing. Application program was not successfully downloaded. Terminal does not respond when keys are pressed. Time and date are incorrect. Real-time clock has malfunctioned or needs setting. Replace or recharge battery pack. Repeat downloading. Set time and date. See your application guide. Startup Failure Problems are most frequently start-up failures. If cold booting the terminal does not start the application successfully, the application, the system software, or the system is malfunctioning. If you can boot the system to Command Mode, try the following:

! Use Program Loader to download a new version of the software to NVM. This procedure is described in Chapter 3, Batch and Spectrum One Terminal Setup or Chapter 4, Spectrum24 RF Terminal Setup. After downloading new software, warm boot the terminal as described in Chapter 5, Operating the PDT 6800 Series.

! Use Self Test to check whether system hardware is operational. The Self Test procedure is described later in this chapter. After downloading new software, warm boot the terminal as described in Chapter 5, Operating the PDT 6800 Series. Boot Failure Messages During a cold boot, the system briefly displays a status line for each driver as it loads, in the format 0:Driver

The line shows a status value, usually 0, followed by the name and version number of the driver. If the system halts at one of these lines and displays a status value other than 0, the displayed driver did not load properly. 7-3 PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide If such a failure occurs, cold boot the terminal again. If this does not solve the problem, call Symbol Customer Support. More troubleshooting information is found in the documentation listed in Related Publications. Spectrum24 Terminal Typical initialization and operating problems and solutions for Spectrum24 terminals are listed in Table 7-3. Table 7-3.

+ When Composite AB/C is enabled, the following barcode types are automatically enabled regardless of their status (EAN-128, EAN-13, EAN-8, RSS Expanded, RSS Limited, RSS-14, UPC-A, and UPCE). If driver-enabled barcode type is scanned, the driver WILL NOT send the data to application.

++ For MacroPDF, the driver returns MacroPDF barcode type to the application along with the main block. An application can then call ConsIoctlGetMacroPDFAuxData to retrieve the control block information. MacroPDFAuxData structure contains the last scanned and decoded MacroPDF control block. If MacroPDF has never been scanned, the field will contain 0, or NULL. New API Definitions Get/Set Extended Decoders ConsIoctlGetExtDecoders command returns the status of the additional supported decoders in the terminal and uses ConsIoctlSetExtDecoders command to enable or disable the additional decoders supported in the terminal.

When EAN Zero Extend is enabled, this parameter gives you the option of label-

ing the extended symbol as either an EAN-13 bar code, or an EAN-8 bar code. This affects Transmit Code ID Character and DECODE_DATA message. When EAN Zero Extend is disabled, this parameter has no effect on bar code data. Uses conv_ean8to13_b from decoder parameters to enable EAN Zero Extend. cvtI25_2_EAN13 Convert I 2 of 5 barcode type to EAN-13. This parameter con-

verts a 14 character I 2 of 5 code into EAN-13. To accomplish F-10 cvtC39_2_C32 C32Prefix EnableC128Perf C128PerfLvl EnableC39Perf 2D Scanner Drivers and Applications this, the I 2 of 5 code type must be enabled, one length must be set to 14, and the code must have a leading zero and a valid EAN-13 check digit.

ter A to all Code 32 bar codes. Convert Code 39 to Code 32 must be enabled for this parameter to function. Enable Code128 Performance. This option offers three levels of decode performance or aggressiveness for Code 128 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation, which is useful if you are scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Increased levels reduce decode security. If you enable this option, you may select a Decode Per-

formance level to suit your performance needs. Code128 Decode Performance Level. Valid from Level 1 to Level 3. Enable Code39 Decode Performance. This option offers three levels of decode performance or aggressiveness for Code 39 symbols. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation, which is useful if you are scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Increased levels reduce decode security. If you enable this option, you may select a Decode Performance level to suit your performance needs. This option only works with Code 39 One Discrete Length.

1. Press the scanner trigger to power the 68XX and scanner on. The Scan LED turns red if scanning is enabled and the laser is on. 2. Point the 68XX at the bar code and press the trigger. 8 Q u i c k R e f e r e n c e 3. Ensure that the scan beam crosses all bars and spaces on the bar code symbol, as shown below:

Right Wrong Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols, and closer for symbols with bars that are close together. Long-range versions support a two-level scan trigger. The first, narrow beam is for aiming, and the second beam decodes the label. 4. The LED turns from red to green for successful decodes. The 68XX may also beep. Aiming: Hold at an Angle Do not hold the 68XXs scan window directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scan window from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can blind the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a dead zone. 9 6 8 X X S e r i e s You can tilt the 68XX up to 55 forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. Performing Communications Communicating with a Host The 68XX communicates with a host through the CCM 38/6860, CRD 38/6865, CRD 38/6866, or PC Adapter. For information on setting up the CCM, cradles, or PC Adapter, refer to the PDT 6800 Series Product Reference Guide or the Quick Reference Guide provided with each unit. To communicate with a host:
