Data Capture
Scanning
The DS4608 digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it is placed in the gooseneck Intellistand. In
this mode, the digital scanner operates in continuous (constant-on) mode, where it automatically decodes a
barcode presented in its field of view.
When the digital scanner is not used for a user-definable period of time, it enters a low power mode in which the
LEDs are turned off or illumination blinks at a low duty cycle until the digital scanner detects an image change (e.g.
motion).
Scanning in Hands-Free (Presentation) Mode

The optional stand adds greater flexibility to DS4608 scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the
stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free (presentation) mode. When the
scanner is removed from the stand, it automatically switches to its programmed hand-held triggered mode.
Assemble the Stand

To assemble the stand:
1. Unscrew the wing nut from the bottom of the one piece scanner “cup.”

Wingnut
2. Fit the bottom of the gooseneck piece into the opening on the top of the stand base.
3. Tighten the wing nut underneath the base to secure the cup and neck piece to the base.
4. Bend the neck to the desired position for scanning.

Mounting the Stand (optional)

You can attach the base of the scanner’s stand to a flat surface using two screws or double-sided tape (not
provided).

(3 places)
dimensions = 1” x 2”)
Screw Mount
1. Position the assembled base on a flat surface.
2. Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount hole until the base of the stand is secure (see Figure 5).
Tape Mount
1. Peel the paper liner off one side of each piece of tape and place the sticky surface over each of the three
rectangular tape holders.
2. Peel the paper liner off the exposed sides of each piece of tape and press the stand on a flat surface until it is
secure (see Figure 5).
Scanning with the Stand

When the digital scanner is placed in the gooseneck Intellistand it operates in continuous (constant-on) mode,
where it automatically decodes a barcode presented in its field of view.
To operate the scanner in the stand:
1. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter for information on host
connections).
2. Insert the scanner in the gooseneck Intellistand by placing the front of the scanner into the stand’s “cup.”
39
Data Capture
Figure 6 Inserting the Scanner in the Gooseneck Intellistand
3. Adjust the scan angle by bending the stand’s flexible “gooseneck” body.
4. Present the barcode. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED momentarily shuts off. For
more information about beeper and LED definitions, see Table 3 and Table 4.
Scanning in Hand-Held Mode

Pick up the digital scanner. The aiming dot displays.
1. Ensure the aiming dot is centered on the barcode. See Aiming below
Figure 7 Centering the Aiming Dot on the Barcode

.

Data Capture
2. Press and hold the trigger until either:

a. The digital scanner reads the barcode. The digital scanner beeps, the LED flashes, and the aiming dot
turns off.
Or
b. The digital scanner does not read the barcode and the aiming dot turns off.
3. Release the trigger.
Aiming
When scanning, the digital scanner projects an LED dot which allows positioning the barcode within its field of
view. See Decode Ranges on page 42 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital scanner and a
barcode.
Figure 8 Aiming Dot
If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its illumination LEDs to illuminate the target barcode.
To scan a barcode, center the symbol and ensure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the
illumination LEDs.
Figure 9 Scanning Orientation with Aiming Dot
1D barcode 2D barcode
The digital scanner can also read a barcode presented within the aiming dot not centered. The top examples in
Figure show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.
Figure 10 Acceptable Aiming
41
Data Capture
Figure 11 Incorrect Aiming
The aiming dot is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the
symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger
bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.
The digital scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the barcode. For more information on beeper
and LED definitions, see Table 3 and Table 4.

USB Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with a USB host. The scanner connects directly to a USB host, or
a powered USB hub, which powers it. No additional power supply is required.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 12 on page 61 (also see Standard Parameter Defaults for all
defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single barcode or a short barcode sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the scanner powers down.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and
bars and/or spaces do not merge.
To return all features to default values, scan Set Factory Defaults on page 142. Throughout the programming
barcode menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
*Enable Parameter
* Indicates default Feature/option
Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to set the USB keystroke delay to
medium, scan the Medium Delay (20 msec) barcode under USB Keystroke Delay on page 65. The scanner
issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several barcodes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.
59
USB Interface
Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
Connecting a USB Interface

Figure 13 USB Connection
USB Series A
shielded connector
Interface cable
NOTE: When connecting via USB use the shielded connector cable (e.g., p/n CBA-U21-S07ZAR). Refer to
Solution Builder for guidance about cables.
The scanner connects to USB-capable hosts including:
• TGCS (IBM) terminals

• Apple ™ desktop and notebooks
• Other network computers that support more than one keyboard.
The following operating systems support the scanner through USB:
• Windows® XP, 7, 8, 10
• MacOS 8.5 - MacOS 10.6
• IBM 4690 OS.
The scanner also interfaces with other USB hosts that support USB Human Interface Devices (HID).
To set up the scanner:
NOTE: Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 13 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are
the same.
60
USB Interface
1. Connect the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. See
Inserting the Interface Cable on page 28.
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the Plus Power connector in an available port of
the IBM SurePOS terminal.
3. The scanner automatically detects the host and uses the default USB device type. If the default (*) does not
meet your requirements, select another USB device type by scanning the appropriate barcode from USB
Device Type on page 62.
4. On first installation when using Windows, the software may prompt to select or install the Human Interface
Device driver. To install this driver, provided by Windows, click Next at all choices and click Finished on the
last choice. The scanner powers up during this installation.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in this chapter.
If problems occur with the system, see Troubleshooting on page 46.
USB Parameter Defaults

Table 12 lists defaults for USB host parameters. Change these values in one of two ways:
• Scan the appropriate barcodes in this chapter. The new value replaces the standard default value in
memory. To recall default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 142.
• Configure the scanner using the 123Scan configuration program. See 123Scan and Software Tools.
NOTE: See Standard Parameter Defaults for all user preference, host, symbology, and miscellaneous default
parameters.

USB Host Parameters

USB Device Type
Scan one of the following barcodes to select the USB device type. To select a country keyboard type for the USB
HID Keyboard host, see Country Codes.
NOTES
• When changing USB Device Types, the scanner resets and issues the standard startup beep
sequences.
• When connecting two scanners to a host, IBM does not allow selecting two of the same device type. If
you require two connections, select IBM Table-top USB for one scanner and IBM Hand-held USB for
the second scanner.
• Select IBM Hand-held USB to transmit data only once when an IBM register issues a Scan Disable
command. If the register issues a Scan Enable command before the timeout expires, scanning can
continue. If a Scan Enable does not occur within the timeout, the scanner issues 4 long low transmission
error beeps, and data does not transmit. You can then scan again under the same criteria.
Select OPOS (IBM Hand-held with Full Disable) to completely shut off the scanner when an IBM
register issues a Scan Disable command, including aim, illumination, decoding, and data transmission.
• Before selecting USB CDC Host, install the Zebra USB CDC driver located at
https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/drivers/usb-cdc-driver.html on the host.
• If using Windows XP, this self-contained driver provides functionality but prompts with a warning
message as Microsoft no longer re-certifies drivers for this operating system.
• Windows 10 includes a native CDC driver that supports Zebra scanners. Use this to provide CDC
functionality in the Windows 10 environment.
To recover a stalled scanner:
Install the Zebra USB CDC driver, or,
After power-up, hold the trigger for 10 seconds, which allows the scanner to power up using an
alternate USB configuration. Upon power-up, scan another USB Device Type.
• To select the Toshiba TEC device type, refer to the Toshiba TEC Programmer’s Guide.

SSI Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes the system requirements of the Simple Serial Interface (SSI), which provides a
communications link between Zebra decoders (e.g., scan engines, slot scanners, hand-held scanners,
two-dimensional scanners, hands-free scanners, and RF base stations) and a serial host. It provides the means for
the host to control the decoder or scanner.
Communication
All communication between the scanner and host occurs over the hardware interface lines using the SSI protocol.
Refer to the Simple Serial Interface Programmer’s Guide, p/n 72E-40451-xx, for more information on SSI.
The host and the scanner exchange messages in packets. A packet is a collection of bytes framed by the proper
SSI protocol formatting bytes. The maximum number of bytes per packet that the SSI protocol allows for any
transaction is 257 (255 bytes + 2 byte checksum).
Depending on the configuration, the scanner can send decode data as ASCII data (unpacketed), or as part of a
larger message (packeted).
SSI performs the following functions for the host device:
• Maintains a bi-directional interface with the scanner

• Allows the host to send commands that control the scanner
• Passes data from the scanner to a host device in SSI packet format or straight decode message.
The SSI environment consists of a scanner, a serial cable which attaches to the host device, and if required, a
power supply.
SSI transmits all decode data including special formatting (e.g., AIM ID). Parameter settings can control the format
of the transmitted data.
The scanner can also send parameter information, product identification information, or event codes to the host.
All commands sent between the scanner and host must use the format described in the SSI Message Formats
section. SSI Transactions on page 80 describes the required sequence of messages in specific cases.
78
SSI Interface
SSI Commands
Table 13 lists all the SSI opcodes the scanner supports. The host transmits opcodes designated type H. The
scanner (decoder) transmits type D opcodes, and either can transmit Host/Decoder (H/D) types.
Table 13 SSI Commands

Name Type Opcode Description
AIM_OFF H 0xC4 Deactivate aiming pattern.
AIM_ON H 0xC5 Activate aiming pattern.
BEEP H 0xE6 Sound the beeper.
CAPABILITIES_REPLY D 0xD4 Reply to CAPABILITIES_REQUEST; contains a list of the

capabilities and commands the decoder supports.
CAPABILITIES_REQUEST H 0xD3 Request capabilities report from the decoder.
CMD_ACK H/D 0xD0 Positive acknowledgment of received packet.
CMD_NAK H/D 0xD1 Negative acknowledgment of received packet.
DECODE_DATA D 0xF3 Decode data in SSI packet format.

SSI Interface
SSI Transactions
General Data Transactions
ACK/NAK Handshaking
If you enable ACK/NAK handshaking (the default), all packeted messages must have a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK
response, unless the command description states otherwise. Zebra recommends leaving this handshaking
enabled to provide feedback to the host. Raw decode data and WAKEUP do not use ACK/NAK handshaking since
they are not packeted data.
Following is an example of a problem which can occur if you disable ACK/NAK handshaking:
• The host sends a PARAM_SEND message to the scanner to change the baud rate from 9600 to 19200.
• The scanner cannot interpret the message.
• The scanner does not implement the change the host requested.
• The host assumes that the parameter change occurred and acts accordingly.
• Communication is lost because the change did not occur on both sides.
If you enable ACK/NAK handshaking, the following occurs:
• The host sends a PARAM_SEND message.

• The scanner cannot interpret the message.
• The scanner CMD_NAKs the message.
• The host resends the message.
• The scanner receives the message successfully, responds with CMD_ACK, and implements parameter
changes.
80
SSI Interface
Decoded Data Transmission

The Decode Data Packet Format parameter controls how decode data is sent to the host. Set this parameter to
send the data in a DECODE_DATA packet. Clear this parameter to transmit the data as raw ASCII data.
NOTE: When transmitting decode data as raw ASCII data, ACK/NAK handshaking does not apply regardless of
the state of the ACK/NAK handshaking parameter.
ACK/NAK Enabled and Packeted Data

The scanner sends a DECODE_DATA message after a successful decode. The scanner waits for a programmable
timeout for a CMD_ACK response. If it does not receive the response, the scanner tries to send two more times
before issuing a host transmission error. If the scanner receives a CMD_NAK from the host, it may attempt a retry
depending on the cause field of the CMD_NAK message.

Communication Summary
RTS/CTS Lines
All communication must use RTS/CTS handshaking as described in the Simple Serial Interface Programmer’s
Guide, p/n 72E-40451-xx. If bypassing hardware handshaking, the host must send the WAKEUP command before
all other communication or the first byte of a message can be lost during the scanner wakeup sequence. Zebra
recommends not bypassing RTS/CTS hardware handshaking.
ACK/NAK Option
ACK/NAK handshaking is enabled by default and Zebra recommends leaving it enabled. Disabling this can cause
communication problems, as handshaking is the only acknowledgment that a message was received correctly.
ACK/NAK is not used with unpacketed decode data regardless of whether it is enabled.
Number of Data Bits

All communication with the scanner must use 8-bit data.
Serial Response Timeout

The Host Serial Response Timeout parameter determines how long to wait for a handshaking response before
trying again or aborting further attempts. Set the same value for both the host and scanner.
NOTE: You can temporarily change the Host Serial Response Timeout when the host takes longer to process
an ACK or longer data string. Zebra does not recommend frequent permanent changes due to limited
write cycles of non-volatile memory.
Retries
The host resends data twice after the initial send if the scanner does not respond with an ACK or NAK (if ACK/NAK
handshaking is enabled), or response data (e.g., PARAM_SEND, REPLY_REVISION). If the scanner replies with a
NAK RESEND, the host resends the data. All resent messages must have the resend bit set in the Status byte.
The scanner resends data two times after the initial send if the host fails to reply with an ACK or NAK (if ACK/NAK
handshaking is enabled).
Baud Rate, Stop Bits, Parity, Response Timeout, ACK/NAK Handshaking

If you use PARAM_SEND to change these serial parameters, the ACK response to the PARAM_SEND uses the
previous values for these parameters. The new values then take effect for the next transaction.
Errors
The scanner issues a communication error when:
• The CTS line is asserted when the scanner tries to transmit, and is still asserted on each of two successive
retries
• The scanner does not receive an ACK or NAK after initial transmit and two resends.
83
SSI Interface
SSI Communication Notes

• When not using hardware handshaking, space messages sufficiently apart. The host must not
communicate with the scanner if the scanner is transmitting.
• When using hardware handshaking, frame each message properly with handshaking signals. Do not try to
send two commands within the same handshaking frame.
• There is a permanent/temporary bit in the PARAM_SEND message. Removing power from the scanner
discards temporary changes. Permanent changes are written to non-volatile memory. Frequent changes
shorten the life of the non-volatile memory.
Using Time Delay to Low Power Mode with SSI

Time Delay to Low Power Mode on page 156 provides options to select a general time delay. To program a more
specific delay value, use an SSI command according to Table 14.

CAUTION: With hardware handshaking disabled, the scanner wakes from low power mode upon receiving a
character. However, the scanner does not process this character or any others it receives during the
10 ms period following wakeup. Wait at least 10 ms after wakeup to send valid characters.
84
SSI Interface
Encapsulation of RSM Commands/Responses over SSI

The SSI protocol allows the host to send a command that is variable in length up to 255 bytes. Although there is a
provision in the protocol to multi-packet commands from the host, the scanner does not support this. The host must
fragment packets using the provisions in the RSM protocol.

The following example illustrates how to retrieve diagnostic information (Diagnostic Testing and Reporting
(Attribute #10061) decimal) from the scanner using encapsulation of RSM commands over SSI. Before sending an
RSM command, the host must send the RSM Get Packet Size command to query the packet size supported by the
device.

• Enable ACK/NAK Handshaking - After transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK
response from the host. The scanner also ACKs or NAKs messages from the host.
The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Timeout to receive an ACK or NAK. If
the scanner does not get a response in this time, it resends its data up to two times before discarding the
data and declaring a transmission error.

Scan one of the following barcodes to set the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line.
The SSI interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, you can use the
scanner in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication software on a host
PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 94). If transmission errors occur in this mode, the host PC may be
asserting hardware handshaking lines which interfere with the SSI protocol. Scan the High barcode to address this
problem.

• Multi-Packet Option 1 - The host sends an ACK/NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet
transmission.
• Multi-Packet Option 2 - The scanner sends data packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK handshaking to
pace the transmission. The host, if overrun, can use hardware handshaking to temporarily delay scanner
transmissions. At the end of transmission, the scanner waits for a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK.
• Multi-Packet Option 3 - This is the same as option 2 with the addition of a programmable interpacket

RS-232 Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an RS-232 host. The scanner uses the RS-232 interface to
connect to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
If your host does not appear in Table 20, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication
parameters to match the host.
NOTE: The scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system
architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Zebra offers different cables providing TTL-to-RS-232C
conversion. Contact support for more information.
Setting Parameters
*Enable Parameter
101
RS-232 Interface

In most cases scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to set the baud rate to 19,200, scan
the Baud Rate 19,200 barcode under Baud Rate on page 109. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the
LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Connecting an RS-232 Interface

Connect the scanner directly to the host computer.

NOTE: Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors can be different than those illustrated
in Figure 14, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same.
1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. See
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. If required, connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable. Plug the power
supply into an appropriate outlet.

Parity
A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Scan one of the following barcodes to
select the parity type according to host device requirements:
• Odd - This sets the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an
odd number of 1 bits.
• Even - This sets the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains
an even number of 1 bits.
• None - No parity bit is required.

The parity value of received characters is verified against the value set for Parity on page 111.
*Check For Received Errors

Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking
lines Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS).
If hardware handshaking and software handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes precedence.
NOTE: The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.
Options:
• None - This disables hardware handshaking and transmits scan data as it becomes available.
• Standard RTS/CTS - This sets standard RTS/CTS hardware handshaking and transmits scanned data
according to the following sequence:
a. The scanner reads the CTS line for activity:
• If the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial Response
Timeout on page 117 for the host to assert CTS, and then transmits data when asserted. If, after the
timeout, the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards the data.
• If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Timeout for the host to de-assert
CTS. If after this timeout the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and
discards the scanned data.
b. The scanner de-asserts RTS after sending the last character of data.
c. The host negates CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next data transmission.
During data transmission, if CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the scanner sounds a
transmit error and discards the data. The data must be re-scanned.
• RTS/CTS Option 1 - The scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The
scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission completes.
• RTS/CTS Option 2 - RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner
waits for the host to assert CTS before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within the Host Serial
113
RS-232 Interface
Response Timeout, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards the data. During data transmission,
if CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the scanner sounds a transmit error and
discards the data.
• RTS/CTS Option 3 - This transmits scanned data according to the following sequence:
d. The scanner asserts RTS before data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS.
e. The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Timeout for the host to assert CTS, and then transmits
data when asserted. If, after the timeout, the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error
and discards the data.
f. The scanner de-asserts RTS after sending the last character of data.
g. The host negates CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next data transmission.
During data transmission, if CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the scanner sounds a
transmit error and discards the data. The data must be re-scanned.

RS-232 Interface
Software Handshaking
This parameter offers control of data transmission in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware
handshaking. If software handshaking and hardware handshaking are both enabled, hardware handshaking takes
precedence.
Options:
• None - This transmits data immediately. The scanner expects no response from the host.
• ACK/NAK - After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK or NAK response from the host. If it
receives a NAK, the scanner transmits the data again and waits for an ACK or NAK. After three
unsuccessful attempts to send data after receiving NAKs, the scanner sounds a transmit error and
discards the data.
The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Timeout to receive an ACK or NAK. If
the scanner does not get a response in this time, it sounds a transmit error and discards the data. There
are no reattempts.
• ENQ - The scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If it does not receive
an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Timeout, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards the
data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Timeout to prevent
transmission errors.
• ACK/NAK with ENQ - This combines the two previous options. An additional ENQ is not required to
re-transmit data due to a NAK from the host.
• XON/XOFF - An XOFF character stops data transmission until the scanner receives an XON character.
There are two situations for XON/XOFF:
• The scanner receives an XOFF before it has data to send. When the scanner has data, it waits up to
the Host Serial Response Timeout for an XON character before transmitting. If it does not receive the
XON within this time, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards the data.
• The scanner receives an XOFF during data transmission and stops transmission after sending the
current byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data. The scanner
waits indefinitely for the XON.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up a keyboard wedge interface with the scanner. The scanner connects between
the keyboard and host computer and translates barcode data into keystrokes, which the host accepts as if they
originated from the keyboard. This mode adds barcode reading functionality to a system designed for manual
keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.
Setting Parameters
To return all features to default values, scan a barcode in Default Parameters on page 142. Throughout the
programming barcode menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
*Enable Parameter

In most cases, scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to select a medium keystroke delay,
scan the Medium Delay (20 msec) barcode under Keystroke Delay on page 132. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Night Mode (DS4608-HC and DS4608-DPE Only)

The Night Mode feature allows you to easily switch to a “quiet mode” in order to use the pager motor with the
beeper off. Enter and exit Night Mode in one of two ways:
• If Night Mode Trigger (DS4608-HC and DS4608-DPE Only) is enabled, you can use the trigger to toggle
between entering and exiting Night Mode. To do this, point the scanner away from a barcode and press the
trigger until the beam goes off. Hold the trigger for an additional 5 seconds.
NOTE: After decoding a barcode, holding the trigger an additional 5 seconds has no affect.
• Scan the Night Mode Toggle (DS4608-HC and DS4608-DPE Only) barcode to enter or exit Night Mode,
regardless of the state of the Night Mode Trigger (DS4608-HC and DS4608-DPE Only) parameter.
Entering Night Mode enables Decode Pager Motor (DS4608-HC Only and DS4608-DPE), and disables Beep After
Good Decode.
Also note the following scanner behavior regarding Night Mode:
• Exiting Night Mode returns the scanner to the previously programmed states for the three parameters
changed. For example, if Beep After Good Decode was enabled before entering Night Mode, it returns to
enabled upon exiting Night Mode.
• When entering Night Mode, the pager motor vibrates. When exiting Night Mode, the scanner emits two
short beeps.
• Scanning a Default Parameters barcode causes the scanner to exit Night Mode.
• For scanners that do not use a pager motor, scanning any of the Night Mode parameters or the pager
motor parameters results in an error beep.
• If the scanner loses power while in Night Mode because a cable is disconnected, on the next power up the
scanner exits Night Mode and resumes normal operation.

securPharm Decoding
Parameter # 1752
SSI # F8h 06h D8h
securPharm implements the IFA and GS1 Coding System for the European pharmaceutical industry. securPharm
code is used to prevent pharmaceutical counterfeiting.
When this feature is enabled, if a GS1 symbol is decoded and includes any aspects of the Application Identifier
associated with the securPharm GS1 specifications, the entire GS1 symbol is processed as a securPharm symbol.
For this reason, it is expected that under certain circumstances, a GS1 barcodes that is a securPharm symbol may
not be processed properly; if the GS1 symbol is not created as per the specification. The output cannot be
guaranteed as valid.
Although the GS1-128 type and the GS1 DataBar family are not specifically indicated in the IFA specification, they
are supported.
The securPharm output is in XML format and can include the product number, serial number, lot number,
expiration and Date of Manufacturing. The XML tags can be arranged in any order. Tags that are not in the
barcode are omitted. For example:
<content dfi=”value_dfi”>
<Daten_1>value_Daten_1</Daten_1>
<Daten_2>value_Daten_2</Daten_2>
<Daten_n>value_Daten_n</Daten_n>
</content>
Where:
value_dfi = IFA or GS1
Daten_1 to Daten_n is the production number, serial number, etc.

Introduction
You can program the imager to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
image capture preference features and provides programming barcodes for selecting these features.
NOTE: Only the Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging interface supports image capture. See USB Device
Type on page 62 to enable this host.
The imager ships with the settings shown in Table 27 on page 191 (also see Standard Parameter Defaults for all
Setting Parameters
memory and are preserved even when the imager powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Factory Defaults on page 142. Throughout the programming

In most cases scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to disable image capture illumination,
scan the Disable Image Capture Illumination barcode under Image Capture Illumination on page 194. The
imager issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics.
Operational Modes
The imager has three modes of operation:
• Decode Mode
• Snapshot Mode
• Video Mode.
Decode Mode
By default, when you press the trigger the imager attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field
of view. The imager remains in this mode until it decodes a barcode or you release the trigger.
Snapshot Mode
Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host. Scan the Snapshot Mode barcode
to temporarily enter this mode. While in this mode the imager blinks the green LED at one-second intervals to
indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.
In Snapshot Mode, the imager turns on its aiming pattern to highlight the area to capture in the image. The next
trigger press instructs the imager to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may pass
(less than two seconds) between when the trigger is pressed and the image is captured as the imager adjusts to
lighting conditions. Hold the imager steady until a single beep indicates that it captured the image.
If you do not press the trigger within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the imager returns to Decode Mode. Use
Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 197 to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds.
To disable the aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern on page 198.
Snapshot Mode
Video Mode
In this mode the imager behaves as a video camera as long as you press the trigger. Release the trigger to return
to Decode Mode. Scan this barcode to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode.
Video Mode

196
Snapshot Mode Timeout

Parameter # 323
SSI # F0h 43h
This parameter sets the amount of time the imager remains in Snapshot Mode. The imager exits Snapshot Mode
when you press the trigger, or when the Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the Set
Snapshot Mode Timeout barcode, and then scan a barcode from Numeric Barcodes. The default value is 0 which
represents 30 seconds; values increment by 30. For example, 1 = 60 seconds, 2 = 90 seconds.
To quickly re-set the default timeout to 30 seconds, scan the 30 Seconds barcode.
If you scan No Timeout, the imager remains in Snapshot Mode until you press the trigger.

Parameter # 318
SSI # F4h F0h 3Eh (Right)
If you enabled Image Cropping, set the pixel addresses from (0,0) to (1279 x 799) to crop to.
Columns are numbered from 0 to 1279, rows from 0 to 799. Specify values for Top, Left, Bottom, and Right, where
Top and Bottom correspond to row pixel addresses, and Left and Right correspond to column pixel addresses. For
example, for a 4 row x 8 column image in the extreme bottom-right section of the image, set the following values:
Top = 796, Bottom = 799, Left = 1272, Right = 1279
To set the pixel addresses, scan each of the following barcodes, and then scan four numeric barcodes from
Numeric Barcodes representing the value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to crop the top pixel address
to 3, scan 0, 0, 0, 3. The defaults are:
Top = 0, Bottom = 799, Left = 0, Right = 1279
NOTE: The imager has a cropping resolution of 4 pixels. Setting the cropping area to less than 4 pixels (after
resolution adjustment, see Image Size (Number of Pixels) on page 201) transfers the entire image.

Introduction
You can program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
symbology features and provides programming barcodes for selecting these features.
Setting Parameters
If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up
beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, see Default Parameters on page 142. Throughout the programming

In most cases, scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit barcode data without the
UPC-A check digit, scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit barcode under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on
page 234. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter
entry.

Supplementals are barcodes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN
13+2). The following options are available:
• Decode UPC/EAN/JAN with Supplementals Only - The scanner only decodes UPC/EAN/JAN symbols
with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
• Ignore UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals - When presented with a UPC/EAN/JAN plus supplemental
symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN/JAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN/JAN with Supplementals - The scanner decodes UPC/EAN/JAN symbols
with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must
decode the barcode the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 232
before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
Select one of the following Supplemental Mode options to immediately transmit EAN-13 barcodes starting
with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner
must decode the barcode the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 232
before transmitting the data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN/JAN
barcodes that do not have that prefix immediately.

Code 128 Security Level

Parameter # 751
SSI # F1h EFh
Code 128 barcodes are vulnerable to misdecodes, particularly when Code 128 Lengths is set to Any Length. The
scanner offers four levels of decode security for Code 128 barcodes. There is an inverse relationship between
security and scanner aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security can reduce scanning aggressiveness, so
select only the level of security necessary.
• Code 128 Security Level 0 - The scanner operates in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient
security in decoding most in-spec barcodes.
• Code 128 Security Level 1 - This option eliminates most misdecodes while maintaining reasonable
aggressiveness.
• Code 128 Security Level 2 - This option applies greater barcode security requirements if Security Level
1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Code 128 Security Level 3 - If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still occur, select this
security level to apply the highest safety requirements.
NOTE: Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out-of-spec barcodes, and
significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is required, try to improve
the quality of the barcodes.

can reduce scanning aggressiveness, so select only the level of margin check necessary.
• Margin Check Level 1 – No clear margin required. This complies with the original GS1 standard, yet can
result in erroneous decoding of a DataBar Limited barcode when scanning some UPC symbols that start
with digits 9 and 7.
• Margin Check Level 2 – Automatic risk detection. This level of margin check can result in erroneous
decoding of DataBar Limited barcodes when scanning some UPC symbols. If a misdecode is detected, the
scanner operates in Level 3 or Level 1.

Macro PDF Features

Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The scanner can decode
symbols encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 Kb of decoded data from up to 50 MacroPDF
symbols.
CAUTION: When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.
Do not mix barcodes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When
scanning a Macro PDF sequence, scan the entire sequence without interruption. When scanning a
mixed sequence, two long low beeps (low / low) indicate an inconsistent file ID or inconsistent
symbology error.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner for OCR programming. The scanner can read 6 to 60 point OCR
typeface. It supports font types OCR-A, OCR-B, MICR-E13B, and US Currency Serial Number.
OCR is not as secure as a barcode. To decrease OCR misdecodes and speed OCR reading, set an accurate OCR
template and character subset, and use a check digit.
All OCR fonts are disabled by default. You can enable OCR-A and OCR-B at the same time, but not other
combined font types.
Setting Parameters
*Enable Parameter
Option value

In most cases scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to enable OCR-B, scan the Enable
OCR-B barcode under OCR-B on page 336. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green,
signifying a successful parameter entry.

This allows reading either TD1, TD2, Passport, Visa Type A, or Visa Type B without switching between these
options. It automatically recognizes the travel document read.
Selecting one of the ISBN Book Numbers automatically applies the appropriate ISBN checksum, so setting this is
not required.
337
OCR Programming
OCR-B Variant (continued)

To choose a variant, scan one of the following barcodes. Selecting the following OCR-B variants automatically sets
the appropriate OCR Lines on page 344. These five variants invoke extensive special algorithms and checking for
that particular document type:
Variant OCR Lines Setting

Passport 2
TD1 ID Cards 3
TD2 ID Cards 2
Visa Type A 2
Visa Type B 2
If you set one of these variants with both OCR-A and OCR-B enabled, only the specified travel document is read
without reading OCR-A. Returning OCR-B variant to its default (Full ASCII) allows reading OCR-A.
For the best performance in passport reading, fix the target passport and the scanner in place (6.5 - 7.5”).
NOTE: Enable OCR-B before setting this parameter. If disabling OCR-B, set the variant to its default
(OCR-B Full ASCII).

To select the maximum number of OCR characters (including spaces) per line to decode, scan the following
barcode, then scan a three-digit number between 003 and 100 using the barcodes in Numeric Barcodes
representing the number of OCR characters to decode. Strings of OCR characters greater than the maximum are
ignored. The default is 100.
OCR Maximum Characters
OCR Subset
Parameter # 686
SSI # F1h AEh
Create an OCR subset to define a custom group of characters in place of a preset font variant. For example, if
scanning only numbers and the letters A, B, and C, create a subset of just these characters to speed decoding.
This applies a designated OCR Subset across all enabled OCR fonts.
To set or modify the OCR font subset:
1. Enable the appropriate OCR font(s).

2. Scan the OCR Subset barcode.
3. Scan numbers and letters to form the OCR Subset from Alphanumeric Barcodes.
4. Scan End of Message on page 460.
OCR Subset
To cancel an OCR subset, for OCR-A or OCR-B, scan OCR-A variant Full ASCII, or OCR-B variant Full ASCII.
For MICR E13B or US Currency Serial Number, create a subset which includes all allowed characters in that
character set, or scan an option from the Default Parameters on page 142 and re-program the scanner.
345
OCR Programming
OCR Quiet Zone

Parameter # 695
SSI # F1h B7h
This option sets the OCR quiet zone. The scanner stops scanning a field when it detects a sufficiently wide blank
space. The width of this space is defined by the End of Field option. Used with parsers that tolerate slanted
characters, the End of Field count is approximately a count of 8 for a character width. For example, if set to 15,
then two character widths are an end of line indicator for the parser. Larger end of field numbers require bigger
quiet zones at each end of text line.
To set a quiet zone, scan the following barcode, then scan a two-digit number using the numeric keypad in
Alphanumeric Barcodes. The range of the quiet zone is 20 - 99 and the default is 50, indicating a six character
width quiet zone.

OCR Programming
OCR Template
Parameter # 547
SSI # F1h 23h
This option creates a template for precisely matching scanned OCR characters to a desired input format. Carefully
constructing an OCR template eliminates scanning errors.
To set or modify the OCR decode template, scan the OCR Template barcode, and then scan barcodes on the
following pages that correspond to numbers and letters to form the template expression. Then scan End of
Message. The default is 99999999 which accepts OCR strings containing any character.

Other Template Operators

These template operators assist in capturing, delimiting, and formatting scanned OCR data.
Literal String (" and +)
Use either of these delimiting characters surrounding characters from the alphanumeric keyboard in Alphanumeric
Barcodes to define a literal string within a template that must be present in scanned OCR data. There are two
351
OCR Programming
characters used to delimit required literal strings; if one of the delimiter characters is present in the desired literal
string, use the other delimiter.
Template Valid data Invalid data

"35+BC" 35+BC AB+22
New Line (E)
To create a template of multiple lines, add E between the template of each single line.

999EAAAA 321 987 XYZW
BCAD ZXYW 12
String Extract (C)
This operator combined with others defines a string of characters to extract from the scanned data. The string
extract is structured as follows:
CbPe
Where:
• C is the string extract operator

• b is the string begin delimiter
• P is the category (one or more numeric or alpha characters) describing the string representation
• e is the string end delimiter
352
OCR Programming
Values for b and e can be any scannable character. They are included in the output stream.

C>A> XQ3>ABCDE> >ABCDE>
->ATHRUZ>123 >ATHRUZ>
1ABCZXYZ No Output
Ignore to End of Field (D)
This operator causes all characters after a template to be ignored. Use this as the last character in a template
expression. Examples for the template 999D:

999D 123-PED 123
357298 357
193 193
Skip Until (P1)
This operator skips over characters until a specific character type or a literal string is detected. It can be used in
two ways:
P1ct
Where:
• P1 is the Skip Until operator

• c is the type of character that triggers the start of output
• t is one or more template characters
P1"s"t
Where:
• P1 is the Skip Until operator
353
OCR Programming
• "s" is one or more literal string characters (see Literal String (" and +) on page 351) that trigger the start of
output
The trigger character or literal string is included in output from a Skip Until operator, and the first character in the
template should accommodate this trigger.

P1"PN"AA9999 123PN9876 PN9876
PN1234 PN1234
X-PN3592 PN3592
Skip Until Not (P0)

stream. It can be used in two ways:
P0ct
Where:
• P0 is the Skip Until Not operator

• c is the type of character that triggers the start of output
P0"s"t
Where:
• P0 is the Skip Until Not operator

• "s" is one or more literal string characters (see Literal String (" and +) on page 351) that trigger the start
of output

32RM52700 52700
Multiple Templates
This feature sets up multiple templates for OCR decoding. To do this, follow the procedure described in OCR
Template on page 347 (scan the OCR Template barcode, and then barcodes corresponding to numbers and letters
to form the template expression, and then End of Message) for each template in the multiple template string, using
a capital letter X as a separator between templates.
For example, set the OCR Template as 99999XAAAAA to decode OCR strings of either 12345 or ABCDE.

OCR Check Digit Modulus

Parameter # 688
SSI # F1h B0h
The check digit is the last digit (in the right-most position) in an OCR string and improves the accuracy of the
collected data. This option sets OCR module check digit calculation. The calculation is performed on incoming data
356
OCR Programming

OCR Check Digit Multiplier

Parameter # 700
SSI # F1h BCh
This option sets OCR check digit multipliers for character positions. For check digit validation, each character in
scanned data has an assigned weight to use in calculating the check digit. The scanner OCR ships with the
following weight equivalents:
0=0 A = 10 K = 20 U = 30
1=1 B = 11 L = 21 V = 31
2=2 C = 12 M = 22 W = 32
3=3 D = 13 N = 23 X = 33
4=4 E = 14 O = 24 Y = 34
5=5 F = 15 P = 25 Z = 35
6=6 G = 16 Q = 26 Space = 0
7=7 H = 17 R = 27
8=8 I = 18 S = 28
9=9 J = 19 T = 29
All other characters are equivalent to one (1).
You can define the multiplier string if it is different from the default.
121212121212 (default)
123456789A (for ISBN, Product Add Right to Left. See OCR Check Digit Validation on page 359)
For example:
ISBN 0 2 0 1 1 8 3 9 9 4
Multiplier 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Product 0 18 0 7 6 40 12 27 18 4
Product add 0+ 18+ 0+ 7+ 6+ 40+ 12+ 27+ 18+ 4= 132

Each character in the scanned data is assigned a numeric value (see OCR Check Digit Multiplier on page 357).
Each digit representing a character in the scanned data is multiplied by its corresponding digit in the multiplier, and
the sum of these products is computed. The check digit passes if this sum modulo Check Digit Modulus is zero.
Example:
Scanned data numeric value is 132456 (check digit is 6)
Check digit multiplier string is 123456

This is the health industry module 43 check digit standard. The check digit is the modulus 43 sum of all the
character values in a given message, and is printed as the last character in a given message.
Example:

Intelligent Document
Capture (IDC)
Introduction
Intelligent Document Capture (IDC) is Zebra advanced image processing firmware for select imager based
scanners. This chapter describes the IDC functionality, provides parameter barcodes to control IDC features, and
includes a quick start procedure.
The IDC Process

Intelligent Document Capture:
1. Verifies a barcode is appropriate to use as an IDC anchor or link. See Barcode Acceptance Test.
2. Determines the rectangular region to capture as an image. See Capture Region Determination on page 367.
3. Processes the captured image. See Image Post Processing on page 368.
4. Transmits the data. See Data Transmission on page 368.
366
Barcode Acceptance Test

Upon decoding a barcode, the scanner checks that the barcode fits the description of a barcode that anchors or
links to an IDC form. To be accepted as an IDC barcode:
• The symbology must be enabled for decode, and also enabled via IDC Symbology on page 372. The IDC
firmware allows enabling between zero and eight symbologies simultaneously:
Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Discrete 2 of 5, Codabar, PDF417, Data Matrix, and EAN-128.
• The decoded data must satisfy the values set in the IDC Minimum Text Length and IDC Maximum Text
Length parameters. To disable either of these checks, set the value to zero.
If the barcode does not satisfy both requirements, it is sent as a normal (non-IDC) decode.
An IDC barcode is required when IDC Operating Mode on page 371 is set to Anchored or Linked.
Free-Form operating mode does not require a barcode, but transmits decoded data if one is found and satisfies
the requirements. If no barcode is decoded, the document capture process starts but may require specifying a
non-zero value for the IDC Delay Time on page 382. The scanner must wait for at least this amount of time after
trigger pull before capturing a document, unless a barcode is decoded before the time expires.
If Picklist Mode on page 162 is enabled, the barcode must be directly under the aiming pattern and within the
scanner’s decode range, and the region to capture must be completely within the scanner's field-of-view.
Capture Region Determination

After accepting an IDC barcode, the firmware establishes the region to capture as an image. The method used
depends on the setting of the IDC Operating Mode as follows.
The IDC firmware emits a single low beep after successfully capturing a region. The scanner is then no longer
capturing images and can be moved without disturbing the IDC output. Be sure to hold the trigger button until the
decode beep, otherwise the IDC process may be aborted.
IDC Operating Mode = Anchored

A coordinate system is built based on the barcode in its rectified (de-skewed) form. The origin is the center of the
barcode, and the x-axis is set toward the right, from the barcode's point of view. The unit module width of the
barcode is the unit for x. Similarly, the y-axis is set toward the up direction. The unit for the y-axis is specified via
the parameter IDC Aspect on page 375. This is the aspect ratio of a thin bar or space - the barcode's height is
divided by this value to get this unit. Set IDC Aspect to zero to automatically calculate the aspect ratio. The barcode
can be of different sizes for the same form, as long as the center of the barcode is the same when the barcode's
length changes.
From this coordinate system, the IDC area is determined using four parameters: offsets in x and y (IDC X
Coordinate, IDC Y Coordinate) to the region's top-left corner, and width and height (IDC Width, IDC Height).
If the capture area is relatively large as compared to the barcode area, the calculation to obtain the capture area is
prone to significant errors. A recommended solution is to enclose the form with a single black-lined rectangular
border (a box), which is not in contact with any other line on the outside of the form (although it can be connected
to lines on the inside of the form). When the IDC Find Box Outline is set, the firmware searches for the box, and
does not decode if any edges are broken (such as by a protruding thumb).
The IDC Zoom Limit parameter controls the quality of the captured form. The IDC firmware rejects capturing a form
unless the width is at least the IDC Zoom Limit percentage of the IDC Width parameter. For example, if IDC Zoom
Limit is set to 100 and IDC Width is set to 150, the form must be at least 300 pixels wide before it is captured (each
unit module is scaled to two pixels).
The IDC Maximum Rotation parameter controls the maximum rotation any edge of the form can have in relation to
the scanner's horizontal or vertical axis.
367
IDC Operating Mode = Free-Form or Linked

The document capture region is a rectangular piece of paper, or a portion of it enclosed by a rectangular border. In
either case, all four sides of the capture region must be completely within the scanner's field-of-view, and there
must be sufficient contrast at the border of the capture region. For example, if a piece of white paper contains the
document to capture, it must be put in front of a dark background.
By default, the scanner captures the largest rectangular region within the field-of-view. To specify a particular
border type, use the IDC Border Type parameter.
The region must contain at least 10% of the field-of-view in two dimensions.
If an IDC barcode is decoded, IDC uses its location to start the search for the capture region. Otherwise, it
searches the capture region from the center of the field-of-view. IDC also uses the orientation of a decoded IDC
barcode to orient the output image.
Image Post Processing

After determining the document capture region, the firmware de-skews and re-samples the region as follows.
Enabling IDC Captured Image Brighten calls normalization, which makes the brightness of the image uniform, and
enhances contrast as a large percent of background pixels is made completely white (a smaller percent of pixels is
made completely black if the firmware determines there is no danger of enhancing the contrast of a very bland
area). Enabling IDC Captured Image Sharpen enhances the sharpness of the image.
IDC re-samples the image about one output pixel per input pixel for Free-Form or Linked modes and two
pixels-per-module in Anchored mode.
IDC compresses and transmits the image in one of the standard image formats selected by the IDC File Format
Selector, IDC Bits Per Pixel, and IDC JPEG Quality parameters.
Note that it may take several seconds for post processing to complete, depending on the size of the captured
region, the options enabled, and the scanner model.
Data Transmission
After processing the captured image, IDC assembles the image with the decoded barcode data (if applicable) into
an ISO/IEC 15434 style packet and transmits it to the host. The scanner issues the standard decode beep and the
trigger can be released. Be sure to set the USB Device Type on page 62 to Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with
Imaging Interface.
PC Application and Programming Support

For a sample application running on the Microsoft Windows operating system, contact your Zebra representative.
This application displays barcode data and/or captured images from Intelligent Document Capture enabled
scanners and allows setting and reading IDC parameters. Complete source code and documentation are also
provided for developing custom applications. The application includes documentation for the ISO/IEC 15434

Quick Start
This section familiarizes you with some of the Intelligent Document Capture features. IDC Demonstrations on page
385 includes instructions to demonstrate the Anchored, Free-Form, and Linked modes using a sample form to
provide an understanding of how to use IDC. These examples do not illustrate all capabilities of the advanced IDC
firmware. Build upon these using different parameter settings and forms.
Sample IDC Setup

To set up IDC:
1. Connect a scanner equipped with IDC to the host computer's USB port.
2. To set the scanner to the default settings and proper USB host type, scan Set Defaults followed by the
Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging Interface barcode. Allow time for the scanner to reset and the
USB connection to remunerate after each scan before continuing.
Set Defaults
Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging Interface
3. Start the sample application and select the scanner in the SNAPI Scanners drop-down menu.
4. Set parameters as specified in IDC Demonstrations on page 385 using the sample application or by scanning
parameter barcodes in this guide. The barcode in the sample form is Code 128, which is enabled by default for
decoding and as a Document Capture symbology. You can change these settings for your IDC application.
5. Perform each demo. When scanning, aim the scanner at the barcode in the center of the rectangle. Pull the
scanner back so the rectangle is fully contained in the aiming pattern. When you pull the trigger, the scanner
emits a low tone to indicate that the IDC firmware identified and captured an image, then a decode beep to
indicate that the data transmitted. There may be several seconds between the two beeps, depending on the
size of the captured image and options selected (de-skew, brighten, etc). You can move the scanner after the
first beep, but continue the hold the trigger or the scanner may end the session before sending the data.

IDC Demonstrations
Anchored Mode Demo
• Set IDC Operating Mode on page 371 to Anchored.
• Set parameters to these values:
• Set IDC Height on page 374 to 100.
• Set IDC Width on page 374 to 90.
• Set IDC X Coordinate on page 373 to -175.
• Set IDC Y Coordinate on page 373 to -50.
• Pull the trigger. The scanner decodes the barcode and captures an image of the text scroll.
• Rotate the form clockwise so the word Capture is along the bottom edge, and pull the trigger. The scanner
decodes the barcode and captures the same image, including orientation. (This example also works with
the form rotated counter-clockwise or upside down).
• Modify the values for height, width, x, and y. Pull the trigger. The captured area changes in size and
location.
• Cover the barcode with a small piece of paper (or your finger) and pull the trigger. The scanner does not
decode the barcode or capture an image.
What This Demonstrates
Anchored mode captures an image of fixed size and location relative to a barcode on the page. Parameters control
the height, width, and location. The IDC firmware requires that a barcode is present in order to capture an image. It
decodes the barcode and uses it to adjust the image to the upright orientation.
Free-Form Mode Demo

• Set IDC Operating Mode on page 371 to Free-Form.
• Pull the trigger. The scanner decodes the barcode and captures an image of the entire rectangle, including
the contents.
• Modify the values for height, width, x, and y. Pull the trigger. Note that the captured image is not affected.
• Rotate the form clockwise so the word Capture is along the bottom edge, and pull the trigger. The scanner
decodes the barcode and captures the same image, including orientation. (This example also works with
the form rotated counterclockwise or upside down).
• Cover the barcode with a small piece of paper and pull the trigger. The scanner does not decode the
barcode and does not re-orient the captured image to the normal position, i.e., with the logo in the
upper-left corner.
Free-Form mode captures an image where a rectangular border on the page determines the size and position. It
adjusts the image to the upright orientation if a barcode is found and decoded in the image.
Linked Mode Demo

Set IDC Operating Mode on page 371 to Linked.
Use the examples from the Free-Form Mode Demo, noting that the last item (covering the barcode) does not
decode the barcode or capture an image.
385
Linked mode captures an image where a rectangular border on the page determines the size and position. The
IDC firmware requires that a barcode is present in order to capture an image. It decodes the barcode and uses it to
adjust the image to the upright orientation.
Other Suggestions
Hold the scanner at an angle (up/down or side to side) to the page instead of perpendicular to it. The IDC firmware
de-skews and adjusts the brightness (enabled by default) to produce a quality image when the scanner is held at
less than ideal conditions.

Data Formatting: ADF,
MDF, Preferred Symbol
Introduction
This chapter briefly describes the Zebra features available for customizing scanner operation.
Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) allows customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF to edit
scanned data to suit the host application's requirements. With ADF you scan one barcode per trigger pull. ADF is
programmed using 123Scan.
For a video on Creating an Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rule using 123Scan, go to:
For additional information, refer to the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide.
Multicode Data Formatting (Hand-held Mode Only)

Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) enables a 2D scanner to scan all barcodes on a label with a single trigger pull,
and then modify and transmit the data to meet host application requirements. MDF supports programming up to
nine unique labels into one scanner. MDF also supports scanning multiple barcodes on opposite sides of a box by
holding the trigger.
MDF options include:
• Output all or specific barcodes.

• Control the barcode output sequence.
• Apply unique multicode data formatting (MDF) to each output barcode.
• Discard scanned data if all required barcodes are not present.
387
Data Formatting: ADF, MDF, Preferred Symbol
Programming a Scanner
• Using 123Scan, programming an MDF is similar to programming an ADF rule. MDF programming is saved
in a 123Scan configuration file.
• MDF can be deployed to a fleet of 2D scanners using the Scanner Management Service (SMS) through a
traditional SMS package.
p/n MN-002895-xx.
For a video on Creating an Multicode Data Formatting (MDF) Rule using 123Scan, go to:
Preferred Symbol
Preferred Symbol is a barcode prioritization technique that enables favored decoding of high priority barcode(s).
The Preferred Symbol is the only barcode that is decoded and output within the preset Preferred Symbol Timeout.
During this time, the scanner attempts to decode the prioritized barcode and reports only this barcode.
p/n MN-002895-xx.
To program Preferred Symbol via 123Scan, select 123Scan > Configuration Wizard > Symbologies screen, and
then select Preferred Symbol from the drop-down menu. Preferred Symbol programming is saved in the 123Scan
configuration file.

Driver’s License Set Up
(DSXXXX-DL)
Introduction
The scanner uses internally embedded algorithms to parse out barcode information from standard US driver's
licenses and certain other American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) compliant ID cards.
Scanning these barcodes produces formatted data for use in age verification, credit card application information,
and more.
Set Factory Defaults on page 142. Throughout the programming barcode menus, asterisks (*) indicate default
values.
*Enable Parameter
Option value
This chapter describes how to program the scanner to read and use the data contained in the 2D barcodes on US
driver's licenses and AAMVA compliant ID cards.

License Parsing ADF
Example
Driver’s License Parsing

To enable driver's license parsing on the scanner, scan the Embedded Driver's License Parsing barcode. This does
not require Zebra software (.DLL).
Scan the barcodes on the following pages in the order indicating the sequence of data fields that the scanner
outputs. See Parsing Driver’s License Data Fields (Embedded Driver's License Parsing) on page 391 for more
information.
*No Driver’s License Parsing
Embedded Driver’s License Parsing
390
Parsing Driver’s License Data Fields (Embedded Driver's License Pars-

ing)
To program a parsing rule:
1. Scan Begin New Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 392.

2. Scan any of the field barcodes on the following pages, or Send Keystroke (Control Characters and
Keyboard Characters) on page 409.
3. After entering the entire rule, scan Save Driver’s License Parse Rule on page 392 to save the rule.
NOTE: The scanner stores only one driver’s license parsing rule in memory at a time. Saving a new rule
replaces the prior rule.
To abort the programming sequence at any time during programming, scan Quit Entering Driver’s License Rule on
page 392. Any previously saved rule is retained.
To erase a saved rule, scan Erase Driver’s License Parse Rules on page 392.
Embedded Driver's License Parsing Criteria - Code Type

After specifying the fields and their order for the parsed driver's license, you can also apply standard ADF rules to
the parsed data using the Parsed Driver’s License criterion barcode in the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer
Guide.
NOTE: Only create standard ADF rules on parsed driver's license data when configured for Embedded Driver's
License Parsing.
See Embedded Driver's License Parsing ADF Example on page 434 for a sample ADF rule using this code type
criterion.

Driver’s License Parse Field Barcodes (continued)

The supported parse fields begin below. Not all IDs present data in the same format. For example, some IDs can
have separate fields for first name, last name, and middle initial, while others have a single field with the entire
name. Also, some IDs expire on the subject's birth date while the expiration date field only indicates the year. To
present data in a consistent format, use the following nine barcodes to return data calculated from the actual data
contained in the ID barcode.

1 - Begin New Driver’s License Parse Rule
2 - Last Name
3 - Send ,
4 - Send Space
5 - First Name
6 - Save Driver’s Licence Parse Rule
434
Then, in order to limit the full name to 15 characters, create the following ADF rule:
1 - Begin New Rule
2 - Criterion: Parsed Driver's License
3 - Action: Send Next 15 Characters
4 - Save Rule
For a license belonging to Michael Williams, the parsed data is Williams, Michael and Williams, Micha after
applying the previous ADF rule.

NOTE: For the Keyboard Wedge Interface, Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the barcode special character
($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example,
if you enable Code 39 Full ASCII and scan +B, it transmits as b, %J as ?, and %V as @. Scanning
ABC%I outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC >.

USB and Keyboard Wedge Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes)

Scan the barcode corresponding to the keyboard type. For a USB host, this setting applies only to the USB
Keyboard (HID) device. If the keyboard type is not listed, see Keypad Emulation on page 70 for the USB HID host.
For a keyboard wedge host, see Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation on page 133.
NOTES 1When changing USB country keyboard types the scanner automatically resets and issues the standard
startup beep sequences.
2. For best results when using international keyboards, enable Quick Keypad Emulation on page 70.
IMPORTANT: Some country keyboard barcode types are specific to certain Windows operating systems
(i.e., XP and Windows 7 or higher). Barcodes requiring a specific Windows OS are noted in the
barcode captions.
Use the French International barcode for Belgian French keyboards.

CJK Decode Control
Introduction
This appendix describes control parameters for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) barcode decode through USB
HID Keyboard Emulation mode.
NOTE: Because ADF does not support CJK character processing, there is no format manipulation for CJK
output.

CJK Decode Control
CJK Control Parameters

Unicode Output Control
Parameter # 973
For a Unicode encoded CJK barcode, select one of the following options for unicode output:
• Universal Output to Unicode and MBCS Application - This default method applies to Unicode and
MBCS expected applications, such as MS Word and Notepad on a Windows host.
NOTE: To support Unicode universal output, set up the registry table for the Windows host. See Unicode/CJK
Decode Setup with Windows Host on page 543.
• Output to Unicode Application Only - This method applies only to Unicode expected applications, such
as MS Word and WordPad, but not Notepad.

CJK Decode Control
CJK Output Method to Windows Host

Parameter # 972
For a national standard encoded CJK barcode, select one of the following options for CJK output to a Windows
host:
• Universal CJK Output - This is the default universal CJK output method for US English IME or
Chinese/Japanese/Korean ASCII IME on a Windows host. This method converts CJK characters to
Unicode and emulates the characters when transmitting to the host. Use the Unicode Output Control
parameter to control Unicode output.
NOTE: To support universal CJK output, set up the registry table for the Windows host. See Unicode/CJK
Decode Setup with Windows Host on page 543.
• Other options for CJK output - With the following methods, the scanner sends the CJK character
hexadecimal internal code (Nei Ma) value to the host, or converts the CJK character to Unicode and sends
the hexadecimal Unicode value to the host. When using these methods, the Windows host must select the
corresponding IME to accept the CJK character. See Unicode/CJK Decode Setup with Windows Host on
page 543.
• Japanese Unicode Output
• Simplified Chinese GBK Code Output
• Simplified Chinese Unicode Output
• Korean Unicode Code Output
• Traditional Chinese Big5 Code Output (Windows XP)
• Traditional Chinese Big5 Code Output (Windows 7)
• Traditional Chinese Unicode Code Output (Windows XP)
• Traditional Chinese Unicode Code Output (Windows 7)
NOTE: The Unicode emulate output method depends on the host system (Windows XP or Windows 7).

Non-CJK UTF Barcode Output

Parameter # 960
Some country keyboard type layouts contain characters that do not exist in the default code page (see Country
Keyboard Type Missing Characters on page 542). Although the default code page can not encode these
characters in a barcode, they can be encoded in the UTF-8 barcode. Scan the following barcode to output the
Unicode values by emulation mode.
NOTE: Use this special country keyboard type to decode the non-CJK UTF-8 barcode. After decoding,
re-configure the scanner to use the original country keyboard type.
Use US English IME on Windows. See Unicode Output Control on page 534.

Unicode/CJK Decode Setup with Windows Host

This section describes how to set up CJK decode with a Windows host.
Setting Up the Windows Registry Table for Unicode Universal Output

To support the Unicode universal output method, set up the Windows host registry table as follows:
1. Select Start > Run > regedt32 to start the registry editor.
2. Under HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Input Method, set EnableHexNumpad to 1 as follows:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method]
"EnableHexNumpad"="1"
If this key does not exist, add it as type REG_SZ (string value).
3. Reboot the computer to implement the registry change.
Adding CJK IME on Windows

To add the desired CJK input language:
1. Click Start > Control Panel.

2. If the Control Panel opens in category view, select Switch to Classic View in the top left corner.
3. Select Regional and Language Options.
4. Click the Language tab.
5. Under Supplemental Language Support, select the Install Files for East Asian Languages check box if not
already selected, and click Apply. This may require a Windows installation CD to install the required files. This
step ensures that the East Asian Languages (CJK) are available.
6. Under Text Services and Input Language, click Details.
7. Under Installed Services, click Add.
8. In the Add Input Language dialog box, choose the CJK input language and keyboard layout or Input Method
Editor (IME) to add.
9. Click OK twice. The language indicator appears in the system tray (at bottom right corner of the desktop by
default). To switch between input languages (keyboard languages) select the language indicator in the system
tray.
10. Select the language indicator in the system tray to select the desired country keyboard type.
11. Verify that the characters displayed on each country's keyboard appear.

Introduction
CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows
a scanner to capture a signature.
There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form.
For example, on the federal tax return 1040 form there are three signature areas, one each for two joint filers, and
one for a professional preparer. By using different patterns, a program can correctly identify all three, so they can
be captured in any sequence and still be identified correctly.
Code Structure
Signature Capture Area
A CapCode is printed as two identical patterns on either side of a signature capture box, as shown in Figure 19.
Each pattern extends the full height of the signature capture box.
The box is optional, so you can omit it, replace it with a single baseline, or print a baseline with an "X" on top of it
towards the left, as is customarily done in the US to indicate a request for signature. However, if an "X" or other
markings are added in the signature box area, these are captured with the signature.

CapCode Pattern Structure

A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a
second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the
start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces. A 7X quiet zone is required to the left
and to the right of the CapCode pattern.
Figure 20 CapCode Structure
Capture Box
Quiet Start Stop Quiet
Zone Separator Spaces Zone
The separator spaces on either side of the signature capture box can be between 1X and 3X wide.
Start / Stop Patterns

Table 50 lists the accepted start / stop patterns. The bar and space widths are expressed as multiples of X. You
must use the same pattern on either side of a signature capture box. The type value is reported with the captured
signature to indicate the purpose of the signature captured.
Table 50 Start / Stop Pattern Definitions

Table 51 lists selectable parameters used to generate the image of the captured signature.

Bits Per Pixel 1 (2 levels)

(not applicable to JPEG format)
4 (16 levels)
8 (256 levels)
547
BMP format does not use compression, JPEG and TIFF formats do.
Dimensions
The size of the signature capture box is determined by the height and separation of the start and stop patterns. The
line width of the signature capture box is insignificant.
The thinnest element width, referred to here as X, is nominally 10 mils (1 mil = 0.0254 mm). Select this as an exact
multiple of the pixel pitch of the printer used. For example, when using a 203 DPI (dots-per-inch) printer and
printing 2 dots per module, the resulting X dimension is 9.85 mils.
Data Format
The decoder output is formatted according to Table 52. Zebra decoders allow different user options to output or
inhibit barcode type. Selecting "Symbol ID" as the barcode type for output identifies the CapCode with letter "i".
Table 52 Data Format

File Format Image Size
Type (1 byte) Image Data
(1 byte) (4 bytes, BIG Endian)
JPEG - 1 See Table 50, last (Same bytes as in a

BMP - 3 column data file)
TIFF - 4
Additional Capabilities
Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up.
A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a barcode. You
can disable the signature capturing capability in a decoder.
