Quick Guide ™ Double-touch Reading ‘The BHT-3000 can read the EAN-13 and UPC-A bar codes wider than the readable area (approx. 40 mm) of the bar-code reading window. To read such wide bars, it is necessary to read first the right (or left) half of the bar code together with the center bar and then read the remaining half. The system combines the split data into one bar code. (This double-touch reading function may be activated or deactivated on the “Set” menu screen in the System Mode.) Center bar FE souble-touch reading, make the first and second runs closely in succession without a long pause inbetween. If the pause between the first and second runs is over one second, the reading will be automatically cancelled out.

Optional software includes the BHT-BASIC 3.0 Compiler, Transfer Utility, and BHT- 3000 Kanji Utility (for countries using Kanji). (Each software is provided in both 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks.)

(NOTE: The direct-connect interface port of the BHT-3000 is, not designed to stand frequent connecting/disconnecting. It is, therefore, rec- ommended to use the CU-3000 when connecting the BHT-3000 to a host com- puter.) 10Chapter 2. Getting Started and Operating in System Mode mM BHT-BASIC 3.0 Compiler (option) This compiter compiles a source program written in BHT-BASIC 3.0 by an editor of the host computer running the MS-DOS into the object program (user pro- gram) which can be used in the BHT-3000, The compiled program file isnamed "XXX.PD3”. You should download it to the BHT-3000 by using Transfer Utility. mM Transfer Utility (option) This utility transfers files between the BHT-3000 and the host computer. For details, refer to the “Transfer Utility Guide” issued separately. @ BHT-3000 Kanji Utility (option) This is 2 program required for displaying Kanji characters on the LCD when a user program runs. It adds the Kenji font patterns to user programs compiled by the BHT-BASIC 3.0 Compiler. Software Structure ‘The BHT-3000 integrates two programs—System Mode and Easy Pack-in the ROM. To use user programs, you should download the program files into the RAM. To execute application programs (Easy Pack and user programs), it is necessary to Prepare a data file for each of those programs before running the program. The data files will be stored in the RAM.

For example, it prepares down- loading conditions, sets the calendar clock, and tests the BHT-3000 components such as the LCD, beeper, and keypad. Shown below is the System Mode menu. * SYSTEM MENU * Easy Pack 4.1 . Easy Pack 4.1 is @ preprogrammed application program designed for general bar-code data collection and data entry from the keypad. You can easily and directly apply this program in your business. What you have to do is merely to make a data file (up to four) matching your applications, collect bar-code data, and transfer the date file to the host computer. Easy Pack 4.1 User Programs You can develop application programs to meet individual application require- ments by using the BHT-BASIC 3.0 Compiler.

Battery voltage has lowered Ho * Before battery replacement, be sure to turn off the power. Remove and £ replace the batteries within three minutes to avoid data loss, then turn on the power and check the operation. + Be sure to put in TWO NEW "AA" alkaline batteries. If you keep using the BHT-3000 without battery replacement, the BHT-3000 displays the following message on the LCD and soon powers itself off automati- cally. Replace the batteries a + If the BHT-3000 alerts you to battery replacement, replace the batteries as soon as possible. Otherwise, the data storage capability of the backup memory will decrease. 5. + If the BHT-3000 is not to be used for one month or more, remove the batteries. Upload the data stored in the BHT-3000 memory to the host computer if necessary; otherwise, the stored data will be lost. hecki the Battery Volt To check the current battery voltage level, power on the BHT-3000 while holding down the trigger switch. (For details, refer to Subsection 2.2.4.) 16Chapter 2. Getting Started and Operating in System Mode 2.2.3) Initializing the BHT-3000 Be sure to initialize the BHT-3000 according to the steps below when using it the first time after purchase or when the batteries have been completely discharged. [Ey istiatization operation win erase all data including programs and setings stored in the BHT-3000 memory. In addition, the LCD contrast level, communications conditions, and other settings will be restored to the factory defaults, so modify them if necessary. After jalization, always set the calendar clock (refer to Subsection 2.2.5). (1) While holding down the trigger switch and [0] and [SFT] keys, press the [PWR] key.

Next, pull out the connector cover on each BHT- 3000 so that the direct-connect interface port exposes, and then use the Girect-connect interface cable (having 3-pole plug mini stereo plugs) to connect them directly. (For details about the interface cable, refer to Sub- section 3.1.2.)

SI + Double-touch reading function This function allows the BHT-3000 to read EAN-13 and UPC-A bar codes wider than the readable area (approx. 40 mm) of the bar-code reading window. To read such wide bar codes, it is necessary to read first the right (or left) half of the bar code together with the center bar and then read the remaining half. The system will combine the split data and recognize it as one bar code data. + Black-and-white inverted label reading function This function makes it possible to read white bars on a black background. 35[4.5] Setting the communications parameters and interface port When the BHT-3000 is initialized, the communications parameters and the interface port to be used are set as listed in the default table below.
