Introduction

The supports all mainstream 1D as well as PDF417, QR Code (QR1, QR2, Micro QR), Data Matrix
and GS1-DataBarTM(RSS) (RSS-Limited, RSS-14, RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-Expand).

The can read barcodes on virtually any medium - paper, plastic card, mobile phones and LCD
displays. It provides an ideal solution for both emerging mobile phone-based barcode applications, like
coupons, e-tickets and boarding passes, and traditional applications.

The instant power on/off feature along with ultra low power consumption brings greater efficiency
and convenience in barcode scanning applications.

About This Guide

This guide provides programming instructions for the . Users can configure the by scanning
the programming barcodes included in this manual.

The has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without further
configuration. Users may check the Factory Defaults Table in Appendix for reference. Throughout the
manual, programming barcodes marked with asterisks (**) are factory default values.

Configuring the

There are two ways to configure the engine: barcode programming and command programming.

Barcode Programming

The can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable

features/options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following
sections.

2
 Command Programming

Besides the barcode programming method, the can also be configured by serial commands sent
from the host device. Note that communication parameters on the engine and the host must match so
that two devices can communicate with each other. The default settings of the engine are 9600bps, no
parity check, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. The engine uses 8-bit registers.

Read Register

The read command is used to read the contents of 1 to 256 contiguous registers in the engine.

Syntax: {Prefix1} {Types} {Lens} {Address} {Datas} {FCS}

Prefix1 : 0x7E 0x00

Types : 0x07

Lens : 0x01

Address: 0x0000~0x00FF, starting register address.

Datas : 0x00~0xFF, number of registers to be read. When Datas=0x00, 256 contiguous

registers are to be read.

FCS : CRC-CCITT checksum, 2 bytes.

Computation sequence: Types+ Lens+Address+Datas;

polynomial: X16+X12+X5+1 (0x1021), initial value: 0x0000.

The following C language program is provided for reference.

3
unsigned int crc_cal_by_bit(unsigned char* ptr, unsigned int len)

unsigned int crc = 0;

while(len-- != 0)

for(unsigned char i = 0x80; i != 0; i /= 2)

crc *= 2;

if((crc&0x10000) !=0)

crc ^= 0x11021;

if((*ptr&i) != 0)

crc ^= 0x1021;

ptr++;

return crc;

 Relationship between Programming Command and Serial Command

1. Program general parameter with serial command

A programming command (i.e. the characters under programming barcode) contains 7 characters. The
function of each character is described in the table below.

1st Char 2nd Char ~3rd Char 4th Char~5th Char 6th Char~7th Char
Remark
CMD BITPOSITION ADDR DATA
Write a value (DATA) to the
“W” “00”~“FF” “00”~“FF” “00”~“FF” specified bits (BITPOSITION)
of the register (ADDR).

Note:1. CMD: Command type.

2. ADDR: Address of register to be written.

3. BITPOSITION: Bit(s) the value is written to. For example, if only bit 3 is to be written, the
BITPOSITION should be “08”; if all bits are to be written, the BITPOSITION should be “FF”.

4. DATA: Value written to the BITPOSITION.

The ADDR and DATA in programming command correspond to Address and Datas in serial command,
respectively:

1) If BITPOSITION=”FF”, the values of ADDR and DATA can be used directly in the write command.

e.g., programming command: WFFD9D8 (write value 0xD8 to register 0x00D9)

serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0xD9 0xD8 0x91 0x53

reply received : 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x33 0x31

2) If BITPOSITION≠”FF”, users need to read the register content, calculate the value (Datas) and then
write the value into the register, as shown in the following example.

e.g., programming command: W030002 (write value 0x02 to bit1and bit0 of register 0x0000)

Step 1: Read the content of register 0x0000.

serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x07 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x01 0x41

13
 reply received : 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x01 0xD4 0xB8 0xC8

Step 2: Calculate the value written to the register.

Datas = (0xD4 & (! 0x03)) + 0x02 = 0xD5

Step 3: Write the value into the register.

serial command sent : 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x00 0xD5 0xEF 0x41

reply received : 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x33 0x31

2. Program special parameter with serial command

The serial commands used for programming the following parameters are practically irrelevant to their
programming commands.

Feature Serial Command

Program the sensitivity level 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x03 0xTT 0xSS 0xSS
Program the image stabilization timeout 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x04 0xTT 0xSS 0xSS
Program the timeout between decodes 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x05 0xTT 0xSS 0xSS
Program the decode session timeout 0x7E 0x00 0x08 0x01 0x00 0x06 0xTT 0xSS 0xSS

Note: Red: Address of register.

Blue: Value written to register. For example, to set the sensitivity level to 10, 0xTT should be 0x0A.
Pink: CRC checksum calculated.

3. Save register data in EEPROM

Scanning a programming barcode can change register value and save register data in EEPROM as well.
As for command programming, it requires a write command and a save command to perform these two
tasks. To save register data in an external EEPROM, users need to send the save command to the
engine.

save command sent: 0x7E 0x00 0x09 0x01 0x00 0x00 0xDE 0xC8

Programming Barcode Data

Programming barcode data (e.g. WFFD980) can be transmitted to the Host. To enable this feature, scan
the barcode below. After the feature is enabled, programming barcodes will be handled as
non-programming barcodes and they cannot be used to configure the scan engine. The barcode data will
be sent to the Host when a programming barcode is scanned and decoded. By default, the does
not transmit programming barcode data.

After the engine is powered down and re-energized, this feature will be automatically disabled (i.e. the
engine does not transmit programming barcode data) and the ability of programming barcodes to
configure the engine will be restored.

Transmit Programming Barcode Data

Factory Defaults

Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults. See Appendix A: Factory
Defaults Table for more information.

Note: Use this feature with discretion.

Restore All Factory Defaults

27
 Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces

The provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The
host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the
configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.

TTL-232 Interface

Serial communication interface is usually used to connect the engine to a host device (like PC, POS).
When the is connected to a host device through its TTL-232 interface, serial communication is
enabled by default. However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set
communication parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host
device.

The serial communication interface provided by the engine is based on TTL signals. TTL-232 can be
used for most application architectures. For those requiring RS-232, an external conversion circuit is
needed.

Default serial communication parameters are listed below, among which only baud rate can be altered.

Parameter Factory Default

Serial Communication Standard TTL-232

Baud Rate 9600

Parity Check None

Number of Data Bits 8

Number of Stop Bits 1

Hardware Flow Control None

28
 Baud Rate

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host
requirements.

** 9600

1200 19200

2400 38400

4800 57600

14400 115200

29
USB Interface

When the is connected to a host device through its USB interface, USB DATAPIPE is enabled by
default. User can switch between options – USB DATAPIPE, USB HID-KBW, USB COM Port Emulation
and HID-POS, upon actual need.

USB DATAPIPE

A driver is required when using this protocol to communicate with the engine.

** USB DATAPIPE

USB HID-KBW

When the engine is connected to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KBW
feature by scanning the barcode below. Then the engine’s transmission will be simulated as USB
keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis
and no driver is required.

USB HID-KBW

30
 Standard Keyboard

When the USB HID-KBW feature is enabled, the engine selects Standard Keyboard by default. Besides
that, the other two options are provided: Emulate ALT+Keypad and Function Key Mapping.

** Standard Keyboard

Emulate ALT+Keypad

When Emulate ALT+Keypad is enabled, any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) is sent over the numeric
keypad no matter which keyboard type is selected. Since sending a character involves multiple keystroke
emulations, this method appears less efficient.

1. ALT Make

2. Enter the number corresponding to the ASCII character on the keypad.

3. ALT Break

Emulate ALT+Keypad

Note: It is recommended to turn on the Num Lock light on the host when using this feature.

31
Function Key Mapping

When Function Key Mapping is enabled, function character (0x00 - 0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences
over the numeric keypad.

1. CTRL Make

2. Press function key (Refer to the ASCII Function Key Mapping Table on the following page)

3. CTRL Break

36
 Beep on Unknown Character

Due to the differences in keyboard layouts, some characters contained in barcode data may be
unavailable on the selected keyboard. As a result, the engine fails to transmit the unknown characters.

Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of beep when an unknown
character is detected.

** Beep on Unknown Character Do Not Beep on Unknown Character

Inter-Keystroke Delay

This parameter specifies the delay between emulated keystrokes.

** No Delay Short Delay (5ms)

Medium Delay (10ms) Long Delay (15ms)

37
Caps Lock

The Caps Lock ON option can invert upper and lower case characters contained in barcode data. This
inversion occurs regardless of the state of Caps Lock key on the Host’s keyboard.

** Caps Lock OFF Caps Lock ON

Note: Emulate ALT+Keypad ON/ Convert All to Upper Case/ Convert All to Lower Case prevails over
Caps Lock ON.

Example: When the Caps Lock ON is selected, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted as “aBc”.

38
 Convert Case

Scan the appropriate barcode below to convert all bar code data to your desired case.

** No Case Conversion

Convert All to Lower Case Convert All to Upper Case

Example: When the Convert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted
as “abc”.

39
 Emulate Numeric Keypad

When this feature is disabled, sending barcode data is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard.

To enable this feature, scan the Emulate Numeric Keypad barcode. Sending a number (0-9) is emulated
as keystroke on numeric keypad, whereas sending other character like “+”, “_”, “*” , “/” and “.” is still
emulated as keystroke on main keyboard. However, this feature is influenced by the state of the Num
Lock key on the host: if the Num Lock light on the host is ON, numbers are sent over numeric keypad, if it
is OFF, numbers are sent over main keyboard.

Emulate Numeric Keypad ** Do Not Emulate Numeric Keypad

Note: Make sure the Num Lock light of the Host is turned ON when using this feature.
Emulate ALT+Keypad ON prevails over Emulate Numeric Keypad.

If you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, the USB COM Port Emulation feature allows
the Host to receive data in the way as a serial port does. However, you need to set communication
parameters on the engine to match the Host requirements. A driver is required for this feature.

USB COM Port Emulation

HID-POS
The HID-POS interface is recommended for new application programs. It can send up to 56 characters in
a single USB report and appears more efficient than USB HID-KBW.

Features:

 HID based, no custom driver required.

 Way more efficient in communication than USB HID-KBW and traditional RS-232 interface.

Note: HID-POS does not require a custom driver. However, a HID interface on Windows 98 does. All HID
interfaces employ standard driver provided by the operating system. Use defaults when installing the
driver.

Access the Scanner with Your Program

1. Use CreateFile to access the engine as a HID device.

2. Use ReadFile to deliver the scanned data to the application program.

3. Use WriteFile to send data to the engine.

Acquire Scanned Data

After a barcode is decoded, the engine sends an input report as below:

Bit

VID/PID

USB uses VID (Vendor ID) and PID (Product ID) to identify and locate a device. The VID is assigned by
USB Implementers Forum. Newland’s vendor ID is 1EAB (Hex). A range of PIDs are used for each
Newland product family. Every PID contains a base number and interface type (keyboard, COM port,
etc.).

 Chapter 3 Scan Mode

Manual Mode

Manual Mode (default): A trigger pull activates a decode session. The decode session continues until the
barcode is decoded or the trigger is released.

**Manual Mode

43
Continuous Mode

Continuous Mode: The engine automatically activates a decode session. The decode session continues
until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. When a decode session is
completed, the engine waits until the timeout between decodes expires and then starts next session. The
engine continues to work in this pattern if the following situation does not happen: no barcode is
presented to the engine or passed in front of it in a decode session, the engine will automatically suspend
barcode reading. Pressing the trigger can suspend/resume barcode reading.

Continuous Mode

Decode Session Timeout

This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is
programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 5.0s. If the parameter is set to
0, the engine scans and decodes barcode continuously. To learn how to program this parameter, see
Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.

Decode Session Timeout

44
 Timeout between Decodes
This parameter sets the timeout between decode sessions. When a decode session ends, next session
will not happen until the timeout between decodes expires. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from
0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 1.0s. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E:
Parameter Programming Examples.

Timeout between Decodes

45
Sense Mode

Sense Mode: The engine waits for the image stabilization timeout to expire before activating a decode
session every time it detects a change in ambient illumination. Decode session continues until the
barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. After a decode session ends, the engine
waits for the timeout between decodes to expire before beginning to monitor ambient illumination. If no
barcode is presented to the engine or passed in front of it in a decode session, the engine will
automatically suspend barcode reading and start to monitor ambient illumination.

In the Sense mode, a trigger pull can also activate a decode session. The decode session continues until
the barcode is decoded or the trigger is released. When the session ends, the engine will continue to
monitor ambient illumination.

Sense Mode

Decode Session Timeout

This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is
programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 5.0s. If the parameter is set to

Image Stabilization Timeout

The engine waits for the image stabilization timeout to expire before activating a decode session every
time it detects a change in ambient illumination. This parameter is programmable in 0.1s increments from
0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 0.4s. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix E:
Parameter Programming Examples.

Image Stabilization Timeout

47
Sensitivity

Sensitivity specifies the degree of acuteness of the engine’s response to changes in ambient illumination.
The higher the sensitivity, the lower requirement in illumination change to trigger the engine. You can
select an appropriate degree of sensitivity that fits the ambient environment. The default setting is
Medium Sensitivity.

High Sensitivity ** Medium Sensitivity

Low Sensitivity

Sensitivity levels range from 0 to 255. The smaller the number, the higher the sensitivity.

Users can select a desired sensitivity level that helps achieve greater efficiency. To learn how to program
this parameter, see Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.

Custom Sensitivity

48
Command Trigger Mode

Command Trigger Mode: Decode session is activated by a host command (i.e. set the bit0 of register
0x0002 to “1”). The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout
expires.

Command Trigger Mode

Decode Session Timeout

This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is
programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 5.0s. If the parameter is set to
0, the engine scans and decodes barcode continuously. To learn how to program this parameter, see
Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples.

Decode Session Timeout

49
IR Trigger Mode

By default, the switches to the IR Trigger scan mode (indicated by beeper) when holding down the
trigger for over 10 seconds. In this scan mode, the trigger distance is up to 26cm, but it can be altered to
meet customerization needs. After the engine is powered down or re-energized, it will switch back to the
previous scan mode. Holding down the trigger over 10 seconds again can enable the engine to exit the IR
Trigger scan mode (indicated by beeper) and switch back to the previous scan mode.

 Chapter 4 Illumination & Aiming

Illumination

A couple of illumination options are provided to improve the lighting conditions during every image
capture:

Normal (default): Illumination LED is turned on during image capture.

Always ON: Illumination LED keeps ON after the engine is powered on.

OFF: Illumination LED is OFF all the time.

** Normal

OFF Always ON

51
Aiming

When scanning/capturing image, the engine projects an aiming beam which allows positioning the target
barcode within its field of view and thus makes decoding easier.

Normal (default): The engine projects an aiming beam only during barcode scanning/capture.

Always ON: Aiming beam is constantly ON after the engine is powered on.

OFF: Aiming beam is OFF all the time.

** Normal

 Chapter 6 Data Formatting

In many applications, barcode data needs to be edited and distinguished from one another.

Usually AIM ID and Code ID can be used as identifiers, but in some special cases terminating character
suffix like Carriage Return or Line Feed can also be the alternative.

The engine can be configured to transmit barcode data in the following format:
[“F”/ “S”] + [Code ID] + [AIM ID] + [DATA] + [terminating character]

Note: [DATA] must be transmitted while user can decide whether to transmit any of the rest parts.

[“F”/ “S”]: decode result notification.

AIM ID Prefix

AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers) IDs define symbology identifiers and data carrier identifiers.
For the details, see Appendix B: AIM ID Table. If AIM ID prefix is enabled, the engine will add the
symbology identifier before the scanned data after decoding.

Enable AIM ID Prefix ** Disable AIM ID Prefix

56
CODE ID Prefix

Code ID can also be used to identify barcode type. For more information, refer to Appendix C: Code ID
Table.

Enable CODE ID Prefix ** Disable CODE ID Prefix

User can choose to transmit original CODE ID or visible CODE ID by scanning the appropriate barcode
below.

** Original CODE ID Visible CODE ID

57
Terminating Character Suffix

A terminating character such as carriage return (CR) or carriage return/line feed pair (CRLF) or horizontal
tab (TAB) can be used to mark the end of data.

Appendix E: Parameter Programming Examples

The following examples show you how to program parameters by scanning programming barcodes.

Program the Decode Session Timeout

Example: Set the decode session timeout to 5.0s

1. Scan the Decode Session Timeout barcode.
2. Scan the numeric barcodes “5” and “0”.
3. Scan the Save barcode.

Program the Timeout between Decodes

Example: Set the timeout between decodes to 5.0s

1. Scan the Timeout between Decodes barcode.
2. Scan the numeric barcodes “5” and “0”.
3. Scan the Save barcode.

Program the Image Stabilization Timeout

Example: Set the image stabilization timeout to 5.0s

1. Scan the Image Stabilization Timeout barcode.
2. Scan the numeric barcodes “5” and “0”.
3. Scan the Save barcode.

124
 Program the Sensitivity Level

Example: Set the sensitivity level to 5

1. Scan the Custom Sensitivity barcode.
2. Scan the numeric barcode “5”.
3. Scan the Save barcode.

Appendix G: Save/Cancel Barcodes

After reading numeric barcode(s), you need to scan the Save barcode to save the data. If you scan the
wrong digit(s), you can either scan the Cancel the Last Digit barcode and then the correct digit, or scan
the Cancel All Digits barcode and then the digits you want.

For instance, after reading the Decode Session Timeout barcode and numeric barcodes “1”, “2” and “3”,
you scan:

 Cancel the Last Digit: The last digit “3” will be removed.

 Cancel All Digits: All digits “123” will be removed.

Save Cancel the Last Digit

Cancel All Digits
