Symbol scanner LS3200

Hello,
there are several ways to use the scanner: you can have an application directly with scanner drivers implemented. Or you can install the application DataWedge provided by the manufacturer.
The DataWedge application will activate the scanner and the decoded barcode is sent as usual keypad input to the system. The application is running in background, so you can have your favourite simple application in foreground and scan data directly.
To download the DataWedge application please go to support.symbol.com website and search for DataWedge, or use this direct link http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=12685

Hello, if all your barcodes have the same structure, it will an easy task. You would need to scan following barcodes from ADF chapter in the Product Reference Guide located at http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=5880807apdf
Create New Rule Send Characters Up To Space Character in Alfanumeric Section Skip Ahead 1 Send All That Remains Save Rule
This will by all scanned barcodes send all characters up to the space character, skip the space and send the rest of data.

You would need to enable those barcodes in the scanner settings, please scan the barcode "Enable Bookland EAN" from the Manual located at http://support.symbol.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=5880806apdf&sliceId=&dialogID=189660311&stateId=1%200%20189654341

When connecting to a serial port there are a couple of things that could be causing the issue. The biggest problems are usually one of these:

1. The app does not accept serial data.
2. The RS-232 settings of the scanner and serial application do not match.
3. The cable issue.
4. The data is not using the termination character the application needs.

Are you using a Symbol 25-32465-20 or CBA-R01-S07PAR cable?

If so, do you know for sure your application accepts serial data? The scanner puts the data on the COM port and the application takes it from there. A good test is to try the scanner in Hyper Terminal if you have it. It is usually listed under: Programs>Accessories>Communications.

The M2004 series scanners default to 9600 baud (or bits per second), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no hardware or software flow control.

When starting HyperTerminal you may have to go through a screen that asks for a phone number. Just enter something and click OK to get to the next screen (sorry I can not remember exactly what that screen looks like- once it is set you do not see it again.) Next will be the Connection Description window. You will name the session (name it anything you would like) then click OK. Next is the Connect To box. Select your COM port in the Connect Using box, the first three boxes do not matter. When you click OK a Properties window will open. Most likely you will only have to change the Bits per second to 9600 and the Flow control to None. When you click OK your session should be active. You will have a blinking cursor in the upper left corner and in the bottom left portion of the window you should see the session time counting up. You can now try to scan a barcode. If the data shows up you know the scanner and cable are both working.

If you know your application accepts serial data (Word, Notepad, Excel do not) then it may be the application needs to see a carriage return at the end of the data. The CR is added by scanning Scan Options, Data Suffix, Enter from the M2000 Series Product Reference Guide. Test the scanner. If you still do not get data scan Scan Suffix, 1,0,1,3. Again all of these barcodes are in the M2000 PRG which can be obtained here:

Hopefully this information will be helpful in getting the M2004 working.

You can use the Move To command and enter DAQ into the String field. Skip ahead three characters to get past the DAQ then Send Next 9 characters.

To set the scanner to do a CR you will need to scan the following barcodes:

Scan Options.

<DATA><SUFFIX>

ENTER

You will be able to find them on the product reference guide.

Me aware that if this is a wireless scanner, you may need to scan the barcode that says Send Configuration to Cradle.

I hope this helps.

Get back to me it you still need more help.

Normally I2of5 comes disabled as default in wavelink software.
You will need to enable it and if you are scanning barcodes of different legths, set both the maximum and minimum to 0 value. This will allow any length.

If you still have problems, get back in touch with me and send me a sample barcode as I have a verifier which will allow me to determine whether there may be a problem or not.

There is more than one way for that imager to send data to the computer. Are you using USB, serial, or is there a little box that goes between your existing keyboard and the PC that accepts the scanner connector?
