Note: The power supply must be ordered separately, if needed.
2. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.
3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols,
beginning on page 237. The scanner beeps once.
For further RS485 settings, refer to RS485 on page 10.

Reading Techniques
Present the barcode to the scanner. The Illumination
LEDs turn on.
Optional: For aiming assistance, press and hold thescan trigger button and center the aiming dot on thebarcode.

6

Genesis 7680g User Guide

The aiming dot should be centered over the barcode, but it can be positioned in any
direction for a good read. The aiming dot is smaller when the scanner is closer tothe code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars
or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger
bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

Troubleshooting•

If the light level in the room is not high enough, the barcode may not be read.

•

If the barcode is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), you may need to tilt thescanner at an angle so the barcode can be scanned.

Scanner Status LED Ring
The Genesis XP 7680 has a 360 degree LED ring that surrounds the scan region
and provides feedback about the scanner status:

Menu Barcode Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu barcodes or by sending
serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu
codes, you can use the Menu Barcode Security settings. Contact the nearest
technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page xiii) for further
information.

Set Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode below before scanningthe menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires
scanning numeric codes from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239,

Genesis 7680g User Guide

then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Whenyou have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults,
scan the Save Custom Defaults barcode.

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To doso, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had
previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults,
and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom
Defaults barcode, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save
Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper
volume setting will be updated.

Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate
Custom Defaults barcode below. This is the recommended default barcode formost users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no
custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any
settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted
to the factory default settings.

Automatic Caps Lock

Autocaps via NumLock barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g., Germany,
France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock. The
NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock
key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A
manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, acharacter may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction
on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds
to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning thebarcode below, then scanning digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on
page 239, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds(no time-out - always on).

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

RS232 Handshake
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using
software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data
flow control is used.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, andwill wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host totransmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.

XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending
data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the hostsends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Datatransmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF
Off.

ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK
character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications
cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more barcodes. If NAK is received, thelast set of barcode data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again.
Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On barcode below. To
turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

Trigger Modes
Manual Trigger
Scan the Manual Trigger - Normal code to require that the scan trigger be pressed
to read. When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a barcode is read, or
until the scan trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced.
Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth offield). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly
less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require avery fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range.

Manual Trigger - Normal

Note: If this is set to 0, you must repeat the toggle sequence to return to the default
scanning mode. For example, if 2 quick trigger presses puts the scanner into
centering mode and the Trigger Timing is 0, you would have to do 2 quick presses
again to go back to the default scanning mode.

Trigger Toggle Timeout

Serial Trigger
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger
command (see Trigger Commands on page 188). You must be in a serial interface
mode in order to use serial triggering. Refer to RS232 Serial Port (page 10) or USB
Serial (page 12) for further information. When in serial mode, the scanner scans
until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scanner
can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read TimeOut, which follows).

Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger whenusing serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you
can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger
command. After scanning the Read Time-Out barcode, set the time-out duration(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239, then Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Presentation Centering
Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in thestand to make sure the scanner reads only those barcodes intended by the user.
For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering
will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering (page 3-54).
If a barcode is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output
by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation
Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when thescanner is hand-held, it reads only those barcodes intended by the user. For
instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that
only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer
Delay, page 51, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple
codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features,the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser
barcode scanners.)
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in a stand, see Presentation Centering (page3-43).

Single Code Centering
Scan Single Code Centering to target the barcode closest to the center of theimage. Singling out a barcode in this manner increases scanning accuracy when
there are multiple barcodes close together.

Single Code Centering

Custom Centering
Use the following settings to customize your centering window. If a barcode is nottouched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If
centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codesthat pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Centering
Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Windowbarcodes.

54

Genesis XP User GuideExample: In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window
has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Barcode 1
passes through the centering window, it will be read. Barcode 2 does not passthrough the centering window, so it will not be read.

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority overother symbologies in situations where both barcode symbologies appear on thesame label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C.
symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since somelicenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use
Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of theCode 39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as
an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the scanner
ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 57)
while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology islocated during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner
will read any barcode in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no barcodein the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.
Scan a barcode below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred
Symbology Off.

High Priority Symbology
To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology barcode
below. On the Symbology Charts on page 225, find the symbology you want to set
as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex
value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239, then Save. Default =None.

High Priority Symbology

Low Priority Symbology
To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology barcode
below. On the Symbology Charts on page 225, find the symbology you want to set
as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex
value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239.
If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan the 2 digithex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239, for the next
symbology. You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to saveyour selection. Default = None.

Low Priority Symbology

Preferred Symbology Time-out
Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low priority
symbologies, you must set the time-out period. This is the period of time thescanner will search for a high priority barcode after a low priority barcode has beenencountered. Scan the barcode below, then set the delay (from 1-3,000
milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page239, then Save. Default = 500 ms.

Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application
requires, regardless of the order in which the barcodes are scanned. You can define
up to 15 barcodes in an output sequence.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code
length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the alphanumericsymbols from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239. You must hold thetrigger while reading each barcode in the sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence
An output sequence is created using a string of serial commands that is sent to thescanner. This string is most easily sent to the scanner using the EZConfig softwaretool (see EZConfig for Scanning Introduction on page 183). You can also
accomplish this by scanning alphanumeric barcodes (see the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239).
1. If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, scan Enter Output
Sequence on page 62.
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page 225, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Make a note of the hex value for thatsymbology. If you are using barcodes to create your output sequence, scan the
2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239.
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable
for this symbology. Make a note of the length. If you are using barcodes tocreate your output sequence, scan the 4 digit data length Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is auniversal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, youmust count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as partof the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 228, find the hex valuethat represents the character(s) you want to match. Make a note of the hex
value for the character(s). If you are using barcodes to create your output
sequence, use the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239 to read thealphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is theuniversal number, indicating all characters.)

5. End Output Sequence Editor
Use FF to terminate this string or to begin another output sequence. If you areusing barcodes, scan F F. Scan Save to save your entries.

Other Programming Selections
If you are creating an output sequence using barcodes, scan Discard (page 240) to
exit without saving any output sequence changes.

Partial Sequence
If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output sequence
criteria are met, the barcode data acquired to that point is a “partial sequence.” You
can define how partial sequences are output using the same types of command

Discard Partial Output Sequence
If you want to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is
terminated before completion, scan Discard Partial Sequence.

* Discard Partial Sequence

Output Sequence Timeouts
You can set a timeout for every code in the output sequence defined by the
SEQBLK command. The scanner applies the shortest timeout corresponding to
any of the codes that have been read during the current trigger session. When thetimeout expires, the scanner sends all codes that it has been read in the order they
appear in the sequence defined by SEQBLK.
To specify the timeout, use the SEQTIM command followed by a list of timeouts inmilliseconds. Each timeout is specified as a 4-decimal digit terminated by FF. The
timeout value 9999 is special and indicates that the timeout for that code is“infinite”.
The number of timeouts specified should correspond to the number of codes in thesequence defined by SEQBLK. You can specify one additional timeout, which will
apply to codes not matching any member of the sequence. This can be useful if
Require Output Sequence is On/Not Required. If you do not specify an additionaltimeout for codes not in the defined sequence, the last timeout specified by
SEQTIM will apply.

Output Sequence Timeout Example
For example, if SEQBLK defines a 4-code sequence, you can specify timeouts of 5,6, 7, and 8 seconds for codes 1-4 respectively using the command
SEQTIM5000FF6000FF7000FF8000FF. Codes that are not part of the definedsequence would have an implied timeout of 8 seconds in this case (the final
timeout in the list). To explicitly specify a timeout for such codes, you can include
one more timeout at the end of the list. For example, to include a timeout of 1
second for non-sequence codes, use the command
SEQTIM5000FF6000FF7000FF8000FF1000FF.

Satisfactory Subset of Full Sequence
You can define one or more subsets of barcodes from the complete sequencespecified by SEQBLK. When you scan all the codes from one of these subsets, thescanner will transmit all the codes it has read in the sequence. The scanner sends
the codes in the order defined by SEQBLK.
Note: To use the satisfactory subset feature, you must supply a timeout for each code in thesequence using SEQTIM.

64

Genesis XP User Guide

Satisfactory Subset of Full Sequence Timeout Example
To specify a subset, list its members using the SEQSAT command and terminate
each subset with FF. The members of each subset are specified as single hex digits
corresponding to their index within the full sequence, 1 being the first. For
example, to specify two subsets, the first consisting of the first and second code in
the sequence and the second subset consisting of the second and third code, use
the command SEQSAT12FF23FF.
To define a subset with an odd number of codes, insert a 0 before the final codeindex. For example, to define a 3-code subset consisting of the first, second, andthird codes, use the command SEQSAT1203FF.

Default Output Sequence
Default Sequence programs the scanner to all universal values. Be certain you
want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Default Sequence

Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an editedsequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device. Whenit’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform toan edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to thehost device as is, or formatted according to the partial sequence output format(see Partial Sequence on page 62).
When the output sequence is Off, the barcode data is output to the host as thescanner decodes it. Default = Off.

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger,
aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping
and or vibrating (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find anddecode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. The maximum number ofbarcodes read is 21. When this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner
will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.

On

66

Genesis XP User Guide

No ReadWith No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using
an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 183), an “NR” appears
when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.
Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” youcan edit the output message (see Data Format beginning on page 77). The hex
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read barcodes that are inverted. The
Video Reverse Off barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. Scan
Video Reverse Only to read only inverted barcodes. Scan Video Reverse andStandard Barcodes to read both types of codes.
Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu barcodes cannot be read. You must scanVideo Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes in order to read menu
barcodes.

Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the barcode data. This group of barcode data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section areused to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and afterscanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or onlywith specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of amessage string:

PrefixScanned Data

Suffix1-11 alphanumeric &controlcharactersvariablelength1-11 alphanumeric &controlcharacters

Points to Keep In Mind•

It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are
only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default
suffix = None.

•

A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.

•

You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), beginning on page 228, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

•

You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

Genesis XP User Guide

71

•Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the
output.

•When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), thespecific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

•

The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which
includes header information.

Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1.

Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 73).

Step 2.

Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Charts (beginningon page 225) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or
suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3.

Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart, beginning on page239, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add the AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: When adding a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading
backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 4.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 5.

Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat the steps above to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1.

Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2.

Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239 to apply
this suffix to all symbologies.

Step 3.

Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 239. This
corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII
Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 228.

Step 4.

Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology.
If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use
Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When
you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology aredeleted.

72

Genesis XP User GuideStep 1.

Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Step 2.

Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 225) for the symbology fromwhich you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3.

Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on
page 239 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

Function Code Transmit
By default, all ASCII control characters are transmitted with barcode data. These
non-printable characters are translated into predefined key strokes, or CTRL+X
functions (see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 228).
If these key strokes interfere with your host’s software application, scan Disable tokeep these ASCII control characters from being transmitted. Default = Enable.

* Enable

DisableNote: You can also use a custom data format (see Data Format beginning on page 77) totranslate these characters into a more meaningful output.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission ofdata, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may beplaced between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan theIntercharacter Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5ms delays from theProgramming Chart, beginning on page 239, then Save.

5DATA FORMAT

Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example,
you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points inbarcode 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.
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically. However, when you
create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page80) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in theorder in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order inwhich formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.
If a barcode is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there isone, will be used on the barcode data. If there is no other data format, the raw data
is output.

Genesis XP User Guide77

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and returnto the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

* Default Data Format

Show Data Format
Scan the barcode below to show current data format settings.

Data Format Settings

Add a Data Format
Step 1.

Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 79).

Step 2.

Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239. If you are programming an alternate format,
scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you areprogramming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page 95 forfurther information.)

Step 3.

Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 80) and locate the Terminal ID number
for your PC. Scan three numeric barcodes from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239, to program the scanner for your terminal ID (youmust enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.
Step 4.

Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 225, find the symbology towhich you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for thatsymbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239.
If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exceptionof some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 93).
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the
Code I.D.

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.
Step 5.

Chart, beginning on page 239. For example, 50 characters is entered as0050.
Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.
Step 6.

Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 80). Scan the symbols that
represent the command you want to enter.

Step 7.

Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error
Tone is On (page 94), the scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error
Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.

Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the barcode data is output to the host as read,including prefixes and suffixes.

Data Formatter Off

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created andsaved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:•

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes andsuffixes are transmitted.

•

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format isfound for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. If
a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes aretransmitted.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone
When a barcode is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, thescanner normally generates an error tone. However, you may want to continue
scanning barcodes without hearing the error tone. If you scan the Data Format
Non-Match Error Tone Off barcode, data that doesn’t conform to your data format
is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound. If you wish to hear the error tone
when a non-matching barcode is found, scan the Data Format Non-Match Error

Primary/Alternate Data Formats
You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your
primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under 1,
2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the barcodes
below.

Primary Data Format

Data Format 1

Data Format 2

Data Format 3

Single Scan Data Format Change
You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next barcode isscanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format you haveselected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).
For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as Data
Format 3. You can switch to Data Format 1 for a single trigger pull by scanning theSingle Scan-Data Format 1 barcode below. The next barcode that is scanned uses
Data Format 1, then reverts back to Data Format 3.

For best scanner performance, you should only enable the symbologies that you
need. Scan All Symbologies Off to disable all symbologies, then enable thesymbologies you need by scanning the On barcode for each symbology.

All Symbologies Off

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies.
You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force thescanner to read fixed length barcode data. This helps reduce the chances of amisread.
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15
Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan
the barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit
value of the message length and Save barcodes from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 239. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults areincluded with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can program
the scanner to read only Codabar barcodes with Modulo 16 check characters.
Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits barcode datawith or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only read
Codabar barcodes printed with a check character, and will transmit this characterat the end of the scanned data.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only
read Codabar barcodes printed with a check character, but will not transmit thecheck character with the scanned data.

CHAPTER7IMAGING COMMANDS

The scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, andtransfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the scannerperforms these functions.

Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the scanner on asingle-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture iscomplete, the scanner reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want topermanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (seeChapter 9). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes thenew, permanent setting for the scanner.

Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional
modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers to thatcommand. For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap command, such as
setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T, you would enter
IMGSNP1P1T.
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you must follow
it with an IMGSHP command if you want to see it on your terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with asemicolon. For example, to add the Image Ship command to the above sequence,
you would enter IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 162)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 165)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 174)

Genesis XP User Guide

161

The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Note: The images included with each command description are examples only. The results
you achieve may be different from those included in this manual. The quality of theoutput you receive will vary depending on lighting, quality of the initial image/object
being captured, and distance of the scanner from the image/object. To achieve a highquality image, it is recommended that you position your scanner 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm)
away from the image/object you are capturing.

Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNPImage Snap - IMGSNPAn image is taken whenever the hardware trigger is pressed, or when the Image
Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used tochange the look of the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may beappended to the IMGSNP command.
Example: You can use the following command to snap an image, increase the gain, and havethe beeper sound once the snap is complete: IMGSNP2G1B

IMGSNP Modifiers
P - Imaging Style
This sets the Image Snap style.
0P

Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be taken until the
exposure parameters are met. The last frame is then available for further
use.

1P

Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and results ina visually optimized image.

2P

Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be used by anexperienced user. It allows you the most freedom to set up the scanner,and has no auto-exposure.

B - Beeper
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.

162

0B

No beep (default)

1B

Sounds a beep when the image is captured

Genesis XP User Guide

T - Wait for Trigger
Waits for a hardware trigger press before taking the image. This is only available
when using Photo Style (1P).
0T

Takes image immediately (default)

1T

Waits for a trigger press, then takes the image

L - LED State
Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination (0L) is
preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards, especially when
the scanner is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is preferred when the scanner ishandheld. LED State is not available when using Decoding Style (0P).
0L

LEDs off (default)

1L

LEDs onE - Exposure
Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure
time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The exposure time
determines how long the scanner takes to record an image. On a bright day,exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to help record
an image. At nighttime, exposure time can increase dramatically due to the nearabsence of light. Units are 127 microseconds. (Default = 7874)
nE
Example:Range: 1 - 7874

Exposure at 7874E withfluorescent lighting:

Genesis XP User Guide

Exposure at 100E withfluorescent lighting:163

G - Gain
Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier
boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the gain, the noisein an image is also amplified.

Example:1G

No gain (default)

2G

W - Target White Value
Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For capturingclose-up images of high contrast documents, a lower setting, such as 75, isrecommended. Higher settings result in longer exposure times and brighter
images, but if the setting is too high, the image may be overexposed. Target White
Value is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 125)nW
Example:Range: 0 - 255

This sets the maximum number of frames the scanner should take to reach the D Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using Photo Style (1P).
(Default = 6)nU

Range: 0 - 10

% - Target Set Point Percentage
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A settingof 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value, and 25% of
the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is
not recommended under normal circumstances. To alter grayscale values, W Target White Value should be used. (Default = 50)n%

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHPImage Ship - IMGSHPAn image is taken whenever the trigger is pressed or when the Image Snap
(IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory. You
can “ship” the image by using the IMGSHP command.
The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used tochange the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that istransmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may
be appended to the IMGSHP command.
Example: You can use the following command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma
correction and document image filtering: IMGSNP;IMGSHP8F75K26U.

An edge sharpen filter cleans up the edges of an image, making it look cleaner andsharper. While edge sharpening does make the image look cleaner, it also removes
some fine detail from the original image. The strength of the edge sharpen filter
can be entered from 1 to 24. Entering a 23E gives the sharpest edges, but also
increases noise in the image.

Image Crop set to 238M:

P - Protocol
Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the image data being
sent to the host. It addresses the protocol used to send the data (Hmodem, which isan Xmodem 1K variant that has additional header information), and the format of
the image data that is sent.
0P

None (raw data)

2P

None (default for USB)

3P

Hmodem compressed (default for RS232)

4P

U - Document Image Filter
Allows you to input parameters to sharpen the edges and smooth the area between
the edges of text in an image. This filter should be used with gamma correction(see page 170), with the scanner in a stand, and the image captured using thecommand:
IMGSNP1P0L168W90%32D
This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E - Edge
Sharpen command (see page 173). This filter also works well when shipping pure
black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U.

Example:172

0U

Document image filter off (default)

26U

Apply document image filter for typical document imagenU

Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use lower
numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a similar effect tosetting E - Edge Sharpen (page 167) to 22e. Range: 0-255.

Blur Image On (1V):

W - Histogram Ship
A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A lowkey image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image has detailconcentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated
in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram for an image.

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOXIMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture area
relative to its proximity to a barcode. This allows you to tailor a signature capturearea to a specific form. In order to use IMGBOX, you need a set form where thesignature box location is in a known location relative to a barcode. You can input
the overall size of the signature area, as well as specify how far the signature area isfrom the barcode, vertically and horizontally. You can also set the resolution andfile format for the final output of the signature capture image.
Note: IMGBOX commands can only be triggered by one of the following types of barcodes:
PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5. Once one ofthese symbologies has been read, the image is retained for a possible IMGBOX
command.

Signature Capture Optimize
If you will be using your scanner to capture signatures frequently, you should
optimize it for this purpose. However, the speed of scanning barcodes may beslowed when this mode is enabled. Default = Off.

Optimize On* Optimize Off

Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the aimer
is centered over the signature capture area and the trigger is pressed. A single beepis emitted, indicating that the scanner has read a Code 128 barcode and the data
has been transferred to the host. An IMGBOX command may now be sent from thehost to specify the coordinates of the signature capture area below that code, andindicating that only that area containing the signature should be transferred as animage to the host.

174

Genesis XP User GuideTo see this example, align the aimer with the signature area (not with the barcode),then press the trigger.

Send the following IMGBOX command string after the trigger press:
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.
Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity.
The following image is captured:

The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change
the size and appearance of the signature image output by the scanner. Modifiers
affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Any
number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX command.
Note: The IMGBOX command will return a NAK unless a window size (width and height) are
specified. See H - Height of Signature Capture Area (page 177) and W - Width of
Signature Capture Area (page 178).

IMGBOX Modifiers
A - Output Image Width
This option is used to size the image horizontally. If using this option, set theresolution (R) to zero.
Example:Image Width set to 200A:

Genesis XP User GuideH - Height of Signature Capture Area
The height of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by.01. In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 3/8 inch, resulting in avalue of H = .375/0.01 = 37.5.
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

K - Gamma Correction
Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You
can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma
correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker theimage. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

Example:0K

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area
The resolution is the number of pixels that the scanner outputs per each minimum
bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the image, but also
the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The scanner automatically inserts a

Genesis XP User Guide

177

decimal point between the first and second digit. For example, use 2500 to specify
a resolution of 2.5. Set to zero when using the A and B modifiers (see A - Output
Image Width and B - Output Image Height on page 176).
Example:Resolution set to 0R:

Resolution set to 1000R:

Resolution set to 2000R:

S - Barcode Aspect Ratio
All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum
element size of the barcode. The barcode aspect ratio allows you to set the ratio of
the barcode height to the narrow element width. In the example, the narrow
element width is .010 inches and the barcode height is 0.400 inches, resulting in avalue of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.

W - Width of Signature Capture Area
The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by .01.
In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4 inches, resulting in avalue of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was used in the example toaccommodate a slightly wider image area.)
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

X - Horizontal Barcode Offset
The horizontal barcode offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of thesignature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right andnegative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar
width.
Example:Horizontal Offset set to 75X:

Horizontal Offset set to -75X:

178

Genesis XP User GuideY - Vertical Barcode Offset
The vertical barcode offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the signature
capture area. Negative numbers indicate that the signature capture is above thebarcode, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the barcode.
Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
Example:Vertical Offset set to -7Y:.

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
barcodes. Both the serial commands and the programming barcodes will program
the scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming
command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 10). The following
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.

Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:parameter

A label representing the actual value you should send as part of acommand.

[option]An optional part of a command.

{Data}

Alternatives in a command.

bold

Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.

Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
PrefixThree ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).

Tag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are
identified with a Tag of 232.

Genesis XP User Guide

185

SubTag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS232 baud rate is BAD.

Data

The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.

StorageA single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s
operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table. A period(.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatilemenu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semipermanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.

Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.

^

What is the default value for the setting(s).

>What is the PAP sub command.

Note: When using the >, all other commands will return NAK.

?

What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).

*What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s
response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A
pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.):Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the scanner.

Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set ofcommands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage fieldof the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be usedbecause they are ignored by the device.

SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to thesubset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data fieldshould not be used because it is ignored by the device.

Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to thespecific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.

Genesis XP User Guide

Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only theTag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the sequence.
If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new commandsequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of theadditional command are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag
field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).

Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK

Indicates a good command which has been processed.

ENQ

Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

NAK

Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., anentry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only
accept 2 characters.

When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the statuscharacter inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the period,
exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

Examples of Query Commands
In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable
response.
Example: What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:

cbrena*.

Response:

CBRENA0-1[ACK]This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range ofvalues from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:

cbrena^.

Response:

CBRENA1[ACK]This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable(CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:

Genesis XP User Guide

cbrena?.

187

Response:

CBRENA1[ACK]This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set
to 1, or on.
Example: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter:

cbr?.

Response:

CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],MAX60[ACK],DFT[ACK].

This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set
to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First,
the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger
Mode barcode (page 40), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering(page 42). Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated anddeactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate:

SYN T CR

Deactivate:

SYN U CR

The scanner scans until a barcode has been read, until the deactivate command issent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see Read Time-Out on page 42
for a description, and the serial command on page 196).

188

Genesis XP User Guide

Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate
Custom Defaults barcode below. This resets the scanner to the custom default
settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory
default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom
defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Activate Custom Defaults

The charts on the following pages list the factory default settings for each of thecommands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING

Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services
are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer Support on
page xiii).

MaintenanceYour device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following sections describe
periodic checks to ensure dependable operation.

Clean the Scanner
The scanner and scanner window may be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened withwater or a mild detergent-water solution. If a mild detergent solution is used, wipe
the scanner with a clean cloth dampened only with water to remove any detergent
residue.
Note: Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window
is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window.
Caution: Do not submerge the scanner in water or cleaning solution.
Do not use abrasive wipes or cloths on the scanner’s window.
Abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never use solvents(e.g., acetone) on the housing or window. Solvents may damage
the finish or the window.
Caution: Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the scanner withcharging accessories or other peripheral devices. Mating wet
components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

About Disinfectant-ready Models
Genesis XP scanners have an external plastic housing that is designed to resist theeffects of harsh chemicals. These scanners are equipped with disinfectant-readyhousings (DRH) for the general-purpose market.
Please refer to the Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions website for specificdetails on how to clean Genesis XP scanners with disinfectant-ready housings.
Helpful information on the care of these specialty products can be found in thefollowing article:•

Honeywell Instructions for Cleaning General Purpose Disinfectant-Ready
Housing Devices

Inspect Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A
badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner operation.
Contact your distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable
replacement instructions are on page 222.

Replace Cable
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner’s handle bya flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.
•

Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.

•

When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of theoriginal interface cable.

Replace an Interface Cable
1. Turn off the power to the host system.
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from theterminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the back of thescanner’s handle. This is the cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small
hole and press in. This depresses the retentiontab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector
out while maintaining pressure on the paper
clip, then remove the paper clip.

222

Cable
ReleaseGenesis XP User Guide

6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is keyed
to go in only one way, and will click into place.

Troubleshoot
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If yourscanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide totry to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aimer on?
If the aimer isn’t illuminated, check that:•

The cable is connected properly.

•

The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).

•

The trigger works.

Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:•

Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.

•

Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.

•

Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.

Is the barcode displayed but not entered?
The barcode is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a
key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
•

You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to
output the barcode data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data
into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 71 for further
information.

If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if you
want the factory default settings restored, refer to Reset the Factory Defaults on
page 184.

received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because thebarcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from theone the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page withwhich the barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear properly.
