APPENDIX C1
“Type C" Barcode Scanner Setting
1. INTRODUCTION
Appendix C1 explain the programming mode for a new type of
barcode scanner.
Thetwo previous model alled "Type A" and "Type B' still remain in
use and all the information in Appendix C are still reliable, in
particular, see Appendix C. for General Information (par.2.) andto
Check the CCD Barcode Scanner functionality (par.6.)..
The Scanneris standard provided with ACL 3000/3000+/6000, and
‘optional on ACL 2000/1000/7000.
Foran easy comprehension starting from now we call the third type
"Type C’.
Appendix C1 is composed by the following subsections:
2. Determining the CCD Barcode Scanner type
3, Enabling barcodes into the CCD Barcode Scanner ‘type C”
4, Setting of barcodes options
5. Resetting the CCD Barcode Scanner to default configuration

DETERMINING THE CCD BARCODE SCANNER TYPE
With the three type of barcode available the procedure for deter:
mining the type you have to program is a little more complex but
it youlookat figure A. youcan probably seeimmediately if youhave
the barcode scanner "Type C*
sure, proceed as follows:
A. Switch the ACL ON, then activate the Scanner by pushing
the relevant button.
B. Read in sequence the two labels provided below:

umentation LaboratoryACL Family Service Manual
Two different conditions can be met:
~ The Scanner reads the labels (scanner beeper beeps):
indicates that itis a “type C” Scanner. Enable the barcodes needed
by refering to this Appendix C1.
~ The Scanner does not read the labels:
indicates that it is a “type A" or "type B" Scanner. Enable the
barcodes needed by refering to Appendix C.
C. After determining the scanner type, proceed with section 3
forthe enabling of the requested barcode(s).
After programming the Scanner, check its setting and correct
functioning by reading the labels provided in Appendix C section
6.
3. ENABLING BARCODESINTOTHECCDBARCODE
SCANNER‘TYPEC”
This subsection contains the programming procedure for CCD
Barcode Scanner ‘type C’.
The programming session consists of two phases:
- The first one, called “DISABLING ALL BARCODES" (see
subsection 3.1), allows the disabling of all barcodes previ
ously enabled intothe scanner.
+ The second phase, called “ENABLING OF BARCODES”
{see subsection 3.2).
‘A maximum of § barcode types can be
contemporaneously enabled into the scanner.

3.1. Disabling all barcodes
This subsection provides the procedure to disable all barcodes
actually enabled into the scanner “type C”,
To disable all barcodes, proceed as follows:
A.
Switch the ACL ON, then activate the scanner by pushing
the relevant button.
Refering to the labels here below, read the SET label to
get the scanner into the program mode;
once read the scanner beeps loudly to indicate that it is
ready to be programmed, and switches the LED array
OFF.
Press the scanner button.
Read the ERASE label; the scanner beeps once softly to
ackwoledge the reading, and switches the LED array OFF.
Press the scanner button.
Read the Exit label to terminate the programming ses
sion; the scanner beeps once softly, four times loudly, and
switches the LED array OFF. All barcodes are now dis.

3.2 Enabling of barcodes
This subsection provides the procedure to enable barcodes into
the scanner “type C”.
In general term, the more barcodes enabled, the more likelihood
of misreading exist.
We therefore strongly recommend that, at installation, only the
code(s) used by the customer be enabled, in addition to the CODE
128, which is used for the labels of the ACL sample tray.
Usually, the procedure to enable a barcode consists of a SET
label, to get the scanner into the program mode, read ENABLE
CODE "X" label, to enable the specific code, and read END label,
to terminate the programming session.
To enable barcodes, proceed as follows:
A. Switch the ACL ON, then activate the scanner by pushing the
relevant button,
B. _ Referingto the two tables in next page, read the SET label to
get the scanner into the program mode; the scanner beeps
loudly to indicate that it is ready to be programmed, and
switches the LED array OFF.
C. Press the scanner button.
Read the ENABLE CODE “X’ label(s) of the desired code(s);
the scanner beeps softly for each label read, and switches
the LED array OFF.
D. Press the scanner button.
Read the END label to terminate the programming session;
the scanner beeps, and switches the LED array OFF.

4. SETTING OF BARCODES OPTIONS TYPE C
This subsection allows you to “personalize” the following barcode
types:
- INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5
> CODABAR
+ CODE 39
To set the available options for the CCD Barcode Scanner “Type
C”, perform the following procedure:
A. Switch the ACL ON, then trigger the Scanner ON.
B. Choose the family of barcodes to be personalized (codes
INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5; CODABAR; CODE 39).
C. Among the various labels here after provided, locate the
ones corresponding to the option(s) to be enabled.
D. Read the SET CODE to get the Scanner into the program
mode; the Scanner beeps to indicate that it is ready to be
programmed, and switches the LED array OFF.
E. Push the Scanner button.
Read the PROG CODE(s) of the option(s) to be enabled.
The Scanner beeps once for each label read, and switches
the LED array OFF.
F. Push the Scanner button,
Read the END CODE to complete the whole operation; the
scanner beeps, and switches the LED array OFF.
The new setting is now set in memory.

5. RESETTING THE CCD BARCODE SCANNER TO.
DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
This subsection contains the complete scanners re-programming
procedures, which allow the re-setting to the default conditions of
the following parameters:
- Enabled barcode (CODE 128 only)
- RS 232 interface setting
This setting procedure can be be used to re-program a scanner
when initial setting conditions has to be re-enstablished.
