1 Section 1 INTRODUCTION Description The Omni™ slot reader can scan and decode most popular bar codes, and/or read 1, 2, or 3 tracks of magnetic stripe information, depending on the model.
2 Section 2 INSTALLATION Host Connections The Omni reader is connected to the host’ s RS-232 communications port. The cable has a DB-9 connector at one end, and is connected to the reader at the other end. (An adapter can be used to connect to a DB-25 RS-232 port.
3 Section 3 CONFIGURATION The Omni reader must be appropriately configured to your application. Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the host system.
4 5. Press the <Enter> key . The reader will beep twice to indicate the reader is now in the Setup Mode for group X. 6. T ype the two-character selection code for the feature that you wish to change. 7. Press the <Enter> key . The reader will beep twice to indicate the code is accepted by the reader as a valid code for Setup Group X.
5 Default Settings The Omni reader is shipped from the factory with the default settings already programmed. In the following sections, the default settings are shown in boldface .
6 5. T ype the one-character code for the change you wish to make. 6. Press <ENTER> . The r eader should beep twice. 7. Save the setting and exit the Group Setup Mode by typing EZ . 8. Press <ENTER> . The r eader should beep four times. Baud Rate The baud rate is the speed at which data is transmitted and received.
7 Handshaking Some type of flow control or “handshaking” must be used between two devices to prevent data from being transmitted before the receiving device is ready to accept it. Handshake signals interrupt the flow of data until the receiving device is ready .
8 Beep Volume The beep volume can be adjusted to two different levels, or turned of f en- tirely . SELECTION CODE: B1 Off 0 Low 1 High 2 Code/Track ID Each bar code symbology or MSR track can be assigned a CODE ID charac- ter . This character is added to the beginning of the scanned data.
9 Code ID Definition (Group I) If the Code ID option is enabled in General Setup, the user can select the character used to identify each symbology . 1. Enter CODE ID DEFINITION SETTINGS MODE by typing /E/D/FI . 2. Press <ENTER> . The r eader should beep twice.
10 Bar Code Message Formatting Selections (Group C ) Scanned bar code data can be formatted with the addition of preambles, postambles, and terminator characters. The settings below will augment bar code data scanned by the Omni. A fully-formatted message block reflects the following model: {Preamble}{Code ID}{Data}{T erminator}{Postamble} 1.
1 1 Bar Code Preamble 0 to 16 ASCII characters: The bar code preamble is a string of characters that can be added to the beginning of scanned bar code data. These can be special characters for identifying a specific scanning station, to format a message header expected by the receiving host.
12 Magnetic Stripe Formatting Selections (Group D) Magnetic stripe output can also be formatted with the addition of preambles, postambles, and terminator characters.
13 Magnetic Stripe Preamble 0 to 16 ASCII characters: The magnetic stripe preamble is a string of charac- ters that can be added to the beginning of magnetic stripe data. These can be special characters for identifying a specific reading station, to format a mes- sage header expected by the receiving host.
14 Bar Code Selections Bar code selections for the Omni are separated into two groups: Industrial and Retail. Industrial bar codes may contain a variable number of characters. Retail bar codes always contain a specific number of characters. Industrial Bar Codes (Group F) 1.
15 5. Enter one digit <ENTER> one digit <ENTER> from the keyboard. (The range is 01 to 60). The r eader should beep twice after each <ENTER> .
16 Check Digit When Check Digit is selected, the reader takes the last character in the de- coded data stream as a check digit. It then calculates the correct check digit for the remaining data and compares it to the last data character . If it is the same, the data is accepted.
17 Fixed Length Interleaved 2 of 5 symbols are commonly printed in a fixed format contain- ing a fixed number of characters. If this option is ON, the first Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol scanned after power up will set the length of any other symbols scanned afterwards.
18 Industrial 2 of 5 Settings: Enable/Disable Industrial 2 of 5 If enabled, Industrial 2 of 5 symbology will be read, subject to the reading restrictions specified by this set of options. If disabled, the data from the sym- bology will be disregarded.
19 Check Digit When Check Digit is selected, the reader takes the last character in the de- coded data stream as a check digit. It then calculates the correct check digit for the remaining data and compares it to the last data character . If it is the same, the data is accepted.
20 Codabar Settings: Enable/Disable Codabar If enabled, Codabar symbology will be read, subject to the reading restric- tions specified by this set of options.
21 MSI/Plessey Settings: Enable/Disable MSI/Plessey If enabled, MSI/Plessey symbology will be read, subject to the reading restrictions specified by this set of options.
22 Retail Bar Codes (Group G) Retail bar codes are based on the Uniform Code Council product code encod- ing algorithms. These are commonly referred to as the UPC/EAN symbolo- gies. 1. Enter RET AIL BAR CODE SETUP MODE by typing /E/D/FG. 2. Press <ENTER>.
23 Enable/Disable UPC-E UPC-E is a special version of the UPC-A specification. It is a fixed format symbology and there are no variations allowed. If disabled, the data from the symbology will be disregarded.
24 Read Two-Digit Addendum If enabled, the reader will decode the two-digit secondary symbol when it is scanned with the primary symbol, and add the data to the end of the transmis- sion.
25 EAN Settings: Enable/Disable EAN-13 EAN-13 is a fixed format symbology and there are no variations allowed. If enabled, EAN-13 symbology will be read, subject to the reading restrictions specified by this set of options. If disabled, the data from the symbology will be disregarded.
26 Read Two-Digit Addendum If enabled, the reader will decode the two-digit secondary symbol when it is scanned with the primary symbol, and add the data to the end of the transmis- sion.
27 Magnetic Stripe Selections (Group H) The Omni reader can accept and decode data read from a magnetic stripe. The parameters for reading the magnetic data can be programmed independently from any of the bar code selections. 1. Enter MAGNETIC STRIPE SELECTIONS SETUP MODE by typing /E/D/FH .
28 Track Two Send Accout Number Only T rack T wo of a magnetically encoded credit card includes the account number information as well as other information. If this option is selected, all other- data contained on the track is suppressed before transmission.
29 EXAMPLE: T o review the reader ’ s current settings for the Code 39 bar code, first find the settings for Code 39 listed in the Industrial Bar Codes setup group. (The single alpha character group name is F .) Then in Notepad type: /E/D/FF<ENTER>FY<ENTER> A sample response is shown below .
30 Section 4 DATA EDITING In addition to adding preambles, postambles, and terminator characters, the Omni can also rearrange, drop, or add to the data it reads from a bar code or magnetic stripe.
31 Data Fields By separating decoded data into blocks known as “fields,” each block of data can be treated individually . Fields can also be added to the data, permitting user-required characters or function codes to be included.
32 Data Editing Formulas The set of instructions programmed into the reader to define data fields and than arrange them into a format is known as the data editing “formula.” A maximum of four formulas can be resident in the reader ’ s memory at any one time.
33 The Formula Sequence A basic data editing formula for the Omni has the following structure. (The optional commands are enclosed in brackets): CODE ID[LENGTH][MA TCH]DIVIDE[ADD]SEND In other words: 1. Identify the bar code symbologies and/or magnetic stripe tracks to which this formula will apply .
34 Using the Data Editing Functions The data editing function is often applied to driver ’ s licenses, where the magnetic stripe contains three tracks of information about the license holder , and the host application may need only certain details (such as name, address, and birth date) rather than all the data the stripe holds.
35 Data Editing Commands 1. Enter DA T A EDITING mode by typing /E/D/FJ 2. Press <ENTER> . The reader should beep twice. 3. T ype the two-character selection code for the function you wish to enable or set. 4. Press <ENTER> . The reader should beep twice.
36 Select Code ID(s) This command designates the bar code symbologies or magnetic stripe tracks that will be accepted as valid. SELECTION CODE: JC UPC-A a UPC-E b EAN-8 c EAN-13 d Code 39 e Interleave.
37 Match String This command looks for a “match” between a data string designated in the data editing formula and a data string in the data scanned by the reader . When this feature is enabled, the only data sent to the host will be data that contains the matched data string.
38 Search for a Data String This command allows you to create a data field by searching the scanned data for a data string that matches a data string specified in the formula.
39 Set the Sequence in which Data Fields are Sent This command specifies the order in which data fields are transmitted to the host. Each separate field is assigned an upper case alpha letter in the order in which it is created. So the first data field created is A, the second is B, and so on.
40 Reset Data Editing Group This command will clear the reader ’ s memory of all formulas, disable the Data Editing feature, and send the original data with the preamble, postamble, and terminator specified.
41 5. If UNMA TCHED INPUT is set to SEND, the unmatched data is passed on to the message processing section of the reader , where any previously-defined postamble, preamble, and terminator characters are added before the data is sent to the output port.
42 EXAMPLE TWO *AST798X* Symbology Code 39 Desired Output: The input record must be Code 39 and be exactly seven characters in length with the seventh character being an “X”. It is divided into three fields; the first three characters, the next three characters, and the last character .
43 EXAMPLE THREE %B0123774965^FISH/MAR Y^96124379F? MSR T rack 1 data Desired Output: Divide it up into seven fields so that the 1st field is the first two characters, 2nd field is all characters .
Section 5 OPERATION Operating Procedure The Omni reader is easy to operate. Just follow these simple steps: 1. Make sure the reader is properly connected (see sections 2 and 6) and is re- ceiving sufficient power . (See Section 6, T roubleshooting, if there is a cabling or power problem.
45 Section 6 TROUBLESHOOTING The Omni reader is easy to install and use. Most problems encountered can be attributed to: · Incorrect Interface Cabling · Incorrect Configuration Setup · Bad Magneti.
Serial Interface Problems Serial interface problems fall into two primary categories: Incorrect cabling and incorrect port setup. Do you have the right cables? The serial interface has a number of “standard” cables with male female and 25 or 9-pin connectors.
47 Scanning Configurations One common problem is incorrect configuration setup. Y ou may be trying to read a bar code with the check digit enabled, but the bar code was printed without it. The default settings for the reader are the most frequently-used parameters.
