E-SW-SCANNERPG-L Integrated Scanner Programming Guide

Chapter 1 Introduction

Please read all cautions, warnings and labels on the scanning device and in the

equipment-specific User’s Guide before scanning the barcodes in this guide.

Barcodes and Scanner Engines

Integrated barcode scanner engines are used to collect barcoded data from any nearby compatible,

visible barcode label that is contained on printed media. Integrated scanners are built-in to the mobile

device, usually located under, and protected by, an endcap.

This guide contains all the scanner programming barcodes designed for LXE® mobile devices with a

Microsoft® Windows® operating system and with an integrated barcode scan engine. LXE mobile

devices contain one integrated barcode laser scan engine at a time. Different scanner engines may be

purchased from LXE.

LXE offers two types of integrated barcode reader engines: laser scanners and laser imagers. For the

purposes of this manual, both terms are interchangeable. It is good practice to avoid looking into the

beam emitted by any beam aperture.

Barcodes for integrated scan engines made by Symbol Technologies

(SE prefix) are contained in

Chapter 2 - Symbol Barcodes. SE923 and SE824 scanners are obsolete – information contained in

this scanner guide is made available as a courtesy to LXE’s SE923 and SE824 customers. Please

contact your LXE representative for upgrade or replacement.

Barcodes for the integrated EV-15 Imager are contained in Chapter 3 - EV-15 Imager.

Barcodes for the integrated Hand Held Products

5380SF 2D Decode Imager are contained in

Chapter 4 - 5380SF 2D Imager.

Hand Held Products 5300 2D Non-decode Imager programming instruction, parameters and sample

code are contained in Chapter 5 – 5300 2D Imager.

LXE supported scanning ranges for integrated scanner engines are contained in Chapter 6 - Scan

Engine Technical Specifications, Decode Zones.

The barcode scan engine manufacturers may offer more barcodes and options than are contained in

this guide. Please note that the barcodes in this guide are only those supported by LXE and the mobile

devices it manufactures or supports. If you need assistance when using the barcodes in this guide,

please contact your LXE representative.

Note: The LXE HX2/HX3/BTRS wearable devices do not have integrated scanners.

LXE DOS Mobile Devices with Integrated Scanners

Please refer to the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide for DOS Devices user guide (available on

the LXE Manuals CD and the LXE website) and the following section titled Obsolete LXE Equipment

with Integrated Scanners later in this chapter.

Full programming guides for the Symbol scan engines and the HandHeld Products scan engine may be available on

the manufacturer’s web site.

2 Introduction

Integrated Scanner Programming Guide E-SW-SCANNERPG-L

Tethered Scanners

This guide does not include the programming barcodes used for LXE approved tethered scanners

connected to a COM port on LXE mobile devices and docking cradles. It does not include

programming barcodes for LXE approved Bluetooth scanners. Please refer to the barcode reader

manufacturer’s User Guide.

Full programming guides for the scan engines in tethered scanners and Bluetooth barcode readers

may be available on the manufacturer’s web site.

Identify Your Barcode Reader Type

LXE offers two types of barcode reader engines: laser scanners and laser imagers. For the purposes of

this manual, both terms are interchangeable. It is good practice to avoid looking into the beam emitted

by the apertures.

There is only one integrated (built-in) barcode reader engine in the LXE mobile device at a time.

Different scanner engines may be purchased from LXE. Contact your LXE representative for

assistance.

Look on the label on the back of your LXE mobile device. The type of installed scan engine may be

identified on the LXE label.

Make sure the Scan button cannot be pressed when you are looking at the scanner aperture!

Figure 1-1 Identify Scan Engine using Scanner / Imager Apertures

1 Imager – Illumination LEDs

2 Beam Aperture

3 Imager – Clear Glass Lens

4 Laser Scanner – Red Glass Lens

Handheld devices without an integrated barcode reader usually have an opaque scan aperture lens

protecting the device’s internal components.

Related Manuals

Refer to the System Configuration chapters in the following guides for information when using the

integrated barcode reader after all configuration parameters have been set. There are many barcode

reader functions that are controlled by the Windows CE Scanner Control Panels on the mobile device

e.g. beeper/volume/events, RS-232 settings, read timers, etc.

4 Introduction

Integrated Scanner Programming Guide E-SW-SCANNERPG-L

RFID

RFID scanning engines are used to collect data from Class 1 and Class 2 labels that are within reading

proximity of the RFID module. RFID scan engines do not read, and cannot be programmed by, the

barcodes in this guide.

MX3-RFID (Obsolete)

The MX3-RFID is an MX3X CE device with an SE923 / SE955 laser scanner and an RFID module.

Use the barcodes in this guide to program the integrated SE923 / SE955 laser scanner. Use the RFID

configuration utility documented in Chapter 3 System Configuration in the MX3-RFID Reference

Guide to program the RFID reader.

RFID Troubleshooting

When the RFID module is installed, the laser barcode scanner won’t activate while the RFID reader is

attempting to read. The laser scan key can be pressed after the RFID reader has completed the RFID

read function. The RFID reader won’t function until the barcode scanner completes the barcode read /

accept or reject process. The RFID read key can be pressed after the laser reader has completed the

barcode read / accept or reject process.

RX2

Use the RFID configuration utility documented in Chapter 3 System Configuration in the RX2

Reference Guide to program the RFID reader.

MX6 (Obsolete)

LXE’s MX6 mobile device uses an integrated imager or laser scanner to scan, decode and store

information. The MX6 does not contain a Symbol scan engine, EV-15 engine, RFID engine or

5380SF 2D engine.

Please refer to the MX6 Reference Guide, section titled Using the Integrated Imager or Barcode

Scanner and the chapter titled Scanner/Imager Parameter Setup for scanner/imager setup and

programming instruction.

The MX6 mobile device with a Microsoft Windows Pocket PC operating system is obsolete. It is

replaced by the MX6 Windows Mobile device.
