AGL Family Service Manual 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.

Switch the ACL ON, then activate the Scanner by pushing the relevant button. B. Read in sequence the two labels provided below: ser IIL evo [NTT umentation LaboratoryACL 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. Instrumentation Laboratory ALSOperating Mode AL 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. abled. . cer PHI esase MMIII a || Instrumentation LaboratoryACL Family Service Manual 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.

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.
