Decode data format#

Decoded Data Packet Format#

Currently, a type of data packet transparent transmission format related to SSI / SNAPI has been confirmed.

The device can transparently transmit user-defined parameter barcodes to the host as ordinary decoding data:

User-defined parameter barcode format:

<FNC3><L><data>
or
<FNC3><B><12 bytes of data>

Decoded data format:

<0xf3><L><data>
or
<0xf3><B><12 bytes of data>

The B type only supports 12 byte data. After successfully reading the user-defined parameter barcode, the device will issue a normal decoding beep.

AIM Code identifier#

Used to control whether the output data contains AIM Code ID or Extended Code ID.

Options:

None, default value
AIM Code ID Character
Extended Code ID Character

If this option is enabled, Code ID will be inserted between “prefix” and “decoded data”.

Note

If Transmit "No Read" Message is enabled at the same time, and AIM Code ID Character or Extended Code ID Character is enabled, the device will append the code identifier of Code 39 after the NR message.

Unable to read message#

Used to control whether NR is sent to the host when decoding is unsuccessful.

Enable No Read
Disable No Read, default value

Prefixes and suffixes#

Scan prefix#

Belongs to the Prefix/Suffix Values parameter group.

Setting method:

Scan target items first: Scan Prefix, Scan Suffix 1 or Scan Suffix 2
Enter another 4 digit value

in:

Bit 1 defines the key type, write Key Category
The last 3 bits define the character value, written into Decimal Value

Prefix/suffix value table#

Used to append 1 prefix and up to 2 suffixes to the output data.

When setting using the barcode menu, you need to enter a 4-digit value; when setting using the host command, the document requires setting Key Category to 1 and then setting a 3-digit decimal value. See Table E-1 for the specific 4-digit code.

Note

If you want the prefix/suffix to be actually output, you also need to set the “Scan Data Transfer Format” at the same time.

B4 prefix/suffix value table#

Used to process B4 class prefix and suffix values. Setup is consistent with the common prefix/suffix value table: enter the 4-digit value via the barcode menu, or split into Key Category and a 3-digit decimal value via a host command.

Disable encoding prefix#

Used to turn off the exclusive prefix that is appended separately according to the code system. This item is used in conjunction with “Code System Prefix” and is suitable for clearing settings separately when different code systems require differentiated prefixes.

code prefix#

Used to append exclusive prefixes separately according to the code system. The current information does not provide the complete setting code; it is used in conjunction with the “prefix/suffix value table”, and the input method also depends on the numerical setting code.

Scan data transfer format#

Used to control how prefix, data, and suffix are combined in the final output.

Currently confirmed formats include:

Data As Is, default value
<DATA> <SUFFIX 1>
<DATA> <SUFFIX 2>
<DATA> <SUFFIX 1> <SUFFIX 2>
<PREFIX> <DATA>
<PREFIX> <DATA> <SUFFIX 1>
<PREFIX> <DATA> <SUFFIX 2>
<PREFIX> <DATA> <SUFFIX 1> <SUFFIX 2>

Warning

If you use this parameter to control prefix and suffix output, do not use ADF rules to configure the prefix and suffix at the same time.

AIM Code ID and FN1#

AIM Code ID characters#

FN1 replacement#

Applies to USB HID keyboard host only. When enabled, FN1 (0x1b) in the EAN-128 barcode can be replaced with the user-set value.

The default replacement value is 7013, which is the Enter key.

When setting via host command:

The documentation requires setting Key Category to 1 first, and then setting the 3-digit key value.

FN1 replacement value table#

Used to set the FN1 replacement target value.

Barcode menu setting steps:

Scan Set FN1 Substitution Value
Find the target key in the ASCII character table corresponding to the current host interface
Scan 4-bit ASCII value

If you make a mistake, you can scan Cancel and re-enter.

Character and data processing#

Ignore unknown characters#

Used to control the sending policy when unknown characters are detected. The complete setup of the USB keyboard link is maintained in the USB and Keyboard Setup in the full PL5 module manual.

Case Conversion#

Used to uniformly adjust the letter case of output data. The complete setup of the USB keyboard link is maintained in the USB and Keyboard Setup in the full PL5 module manual.

Sending data containing unknown characters#

Used to control whether to continue sending the remaining data when the barcode content contains unknown characters. According to the extracted original text:

Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters Continue sending recognized data and ignore unknown characters; no error beeps are emitted.
Do Not Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters IBM The device will prevent the entire barcode from being sent; HID Keyboard the device will send until unknown characters and issue an error beep.
