Supported Interfaces
The LS2208 scanner supports connection to the following host interfaces:
· USB. The scanner automatically detects a USB host and uses the default setting (HID keyboard
interface type). If the default does not meet your requirements, scan another USB host bar code on page 3-5.
· Standard RS-232. The scanner automatically detects an RS-232 host and uses the default setting
(standard RS-232). If the default does not meet your requirements, scan another RS-232 host bar code on page 4-6.
· IBM 468X/469X. Scanners branded with a silver logo
must use auto-host detect cables,
and automatically detect an IBM host, but there is no default setting. Select a Port Address on page 5-4
for the appropriate port.
Scanners branded with a black logo on page 5-4 for the appropriate port.
must use a standard IBM cable. Select a Port Address
· Keyboard wedge. Scanners branded with a silver logo
using auto-host detect cables
automatically detect a keyboard wedge host and use the default setting (IBM PC/AT & IBM PC
Compatibles). If the default does not meet your requirements, scan the IBM AT Notebook bar code on
page 6-4. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes.
Scanners using a standard keyboard wedge cable must select a keyboard wedge host on page 6-4.
Scanners branded with a black logo wedge host on page 6-4.
do not auto-host detect and must select a keyboard
· International keyboards for USB and keyboard wedge (scanners branded with a silver logo
only
). See Appendix B, COUNTRY CODES for available keyboards.

CHAPTER 2 SCANNING
Introduction
This chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, scanning techniques, general instructions and tips about scanning, and decode ranges.
Beeper Definitions
The scanner communicates by emitting different beeper sequences and patterns. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.
Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions
Beeper Sequence
Indication
Standard Use
Low/medium/high beep
Power up.
Short high beep
A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).
4 long low beeps
A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not properly configured. Check option setting.
5 low beeps
Conversion or format error.
Low/high/low beep
ADF transmit error.
High/high/high/low beep
RS-232 receive error.
Parameter Menu Scanning

Low/high beep
A successful transmission of buffered data.
Host Specific
USB only
4 short high beeps
Scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again.
Scanner gives a power-up beep after scanning a USB Device Type.
Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power level.
This power-up beep occurs more than once.
The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is normal and usually happens when the PC cold boots.
RS-232 only
1 short high beep
A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is enabled.
LED Definitions
In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning.
Table 2-2 Standard LED Definitions
Indication
LED
No power is applied to the scanner.
Off
The scanner is on and ready to scan.
Off
A bar code was successfully decoded.
Green
A data transmission error or scanner malfunction occurred.
Red
SCANNING 2 - 3
Scanning
When scanning, the scanner projects a red laser line which should be placed across the bar code as shown in Figure 2-1. See Decode Ranges on page 2-5 for the proper distance to achieve between the scanner and a bar code.
Hand-Held Scanning
To scan: 1. Ensure all connections are secure (see the appropriate host chapter). 2. Aim the scanner at the bar code. 3. Press the trigger.
Figure 2-1 Scanning
4. Ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol.

5. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.
2 - 4 LS2208 Product Reference Guide
Hands-Free Scanning
The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. For information on assembling the stand, see Setting Up the Intellistand on page 1-4. When the scanner is seated in the stand's "cup", the scanner's built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. When you remove the scanner from the stand it operates in hand-held mode.
Scanner Holder (Front)
Figure 2-2 Inserting the Scanner in the Stand To scan in hands-free mode: 1. Ensure all cable connections are secure. 2. Insert the scanner in the optional Intellistand by placing the front of the scanner into the stand's "cup". 3. To scan a bar code, present the bar code and ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the
symbol. 4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green momentarily.
Aiming
Do not position the scanner and bar code at a 90o angle to each other. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. Tilt the scanner or bar code up to 55 forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

CHAPTER 4 RS-232 INTERFACE
Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner to interface with an RS-232 host interface. The RS-232 interface is used to attach the scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (i.e., COM port).
If the particular host is not listed in Table 4-2, set the communication parameters to match the host device. Refer to the documentation for the host device.
NOTE This scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, we offer different cables providing the TTL to RS-232C conversion. Contact support for more information.

Hardware Handshaking
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence:
· The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to Host Serial
Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost.
· When the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial
Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out, the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.
· When data transmission is complete, the scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last
character.
· The host should respond by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next
transmission of data. During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is de-asserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded. If the above communication sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned. If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.
NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.
RS-232 INTERFACE 4 - 13
Hardware Handshaking (continued)
· None: Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. · Standard RTS/CTS: Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. · RTS/CTS Option 1: When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting
and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.
· RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic
level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
· RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission,
regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

Software Handshaking
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options.
If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.
· None: When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from host.
· ACK/NAK: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or
NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.
· ENQ: When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before
transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.
· ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a
NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required.
· XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON
character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: · XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits
up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. · XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The scanner waits up to 30 seconds for the XON.

Keyboard Wedge Host Parameters
Keyboard Wedge Host Types
Select the keyboard wedge host by scanning one of the bar codes below.
*IBM PC/AT & IBM PC Compatible
IBM AT Notebook
Ignore Unknown Characters
Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character, then the scanner issues an error beep.
*Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters
Do Not Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6 - 5 Keystroke Delay
This is the delay in milliseconds between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when hosts require a slower transmission of data.
*No Delay
Medium Delay (20 msec)
Long Delay (40 msec)
Intra-Keystroke Delay
When enabled, an additional delay is inserted between each emulated key depression and release. This sets the Keystroke Delay parameter to a minimum of 5 msec as well.
*Disable Intra-Keystroke Delay
Enable Intra-Keystroke Delay
6 - 6 LS2208 Product Reference Guide
Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation
In a Microsoft® operating system environment, this allows emulation of most other country keyboard types not listed in Appendix B, COUNTRY CODES.
NOTE If your keyboard type is not listed in the country code list (see Appendix B, COUNTRY CODES), disable Quick Keypad Emulation on page 6-6 and ensure Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation on page 6-6 is enabled.
Enable Alternate Numeric Keypad
*Disable Alternate Numeric Keypad
Quick Keypad Emulation
This parameter enables a method of quicker keypad emulation where character value sequences are only sent for characters not found on the keyboard.
NOTE This option applies only when Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation is enabled.
Enable Quick Keypad Emulation
*Disable Quick Keypad Emulation
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6 - 7
Caps Lock On
When enabled, the scanner emulates keystrokes as if the Caps Lock key is always pressed. Note that if both Caps Lock On and Caps Lock Override are enabled, Caps Lock Override takes precedence.
Enable Caps Lock On
*Disable Caps Lock On
Caps Lock Override
When enabled, on AT or AT Notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an `A' in the bar code is sent as an `A' no matter what the state of the keyboard's Caps Lock key. Note that if both Caps Lock On and Caps Lock Override are enabled, Caps Lock Override takes precedence.
Enable Caps Lock Override
*Disable Caps Lock Override
6 - 8 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Convert Wedge Data
When enabled, the scanner converts all bar code data to the selected case.
Convert to Upper Case
Convert to Lower Case
*No Convert
Function Key Mapping
ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control key sequences (see Table 6-2 on page 6-11). When this parameter is enabled, the keys in bold are sent in place of the standard key mapping. Table entries that do not have a bold entry remain the same whether or not this parameter is enabled.
Enable Function Key Mapping
*Disable Function Key Mapping
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6 - 9
FN1 Substitution
When enabled, the scanner replaces FN1 characters in an EAN128 bar code with a keystroke chosen by the user (see FN1 Substitution Values on page 7-24).
Enable FN1 Substitution
*Disable FN1 Substitution
Send Make and Break
When enabled, the scan codes for releasing a key are not sent.

ASCII Character Set for Keyboard Wedge
NOTE
Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and
assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and %V as @. Scanning ABC%I outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC >.

CHAPTER 7 USER PREFERENCES & MISCELLANEOUS SCANNER OPTIONS
Introduction
If desired, configure the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes imaging preference features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features. The scanner ships with the settings in User Preferences Default Parameters on page 7-2 (also see Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when you power down the scanner. To return all features to default values, scan the Set Defaults on page 7-4. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
*Indicates Default *Do Not Suppress Power Up Beeps
Feature/Option
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code under Beeper Tone on page 7-9. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Serial Response Time-Out or setting Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See Decode Session Timeout on page 7-18 and Scan Data Transmission Format on page 7-22 for descriptions of this procedure.
7 - 2 LS2208 Product Reference Guide
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
User Preferences Default Parameters
Table 7-1 lists the defaults for user preferences parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the User Preferences section beginning on page 7-4.
NOTE See Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Set Defaults
The scanner can be reset to two types of defaults: factory defaults or custom defaults. Scan the appropriate bar code below to reset the scanner to its default settings and/or set the scanner's current settings as the custom default.
· Restore Defaults - Resets all default parameters as follows:
· If custom default values were configured (see Write to Custom Defaults), the custom default values are set for all parameters each time the Restore Defaults bar code below is scanned.
· If no custom default values were configured, the factory default values are set for all parameters each time the Restore Defaults bar code below is scanned. (For factory default values, see Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS beginning on page A-1.)
· Set Factory Defaults - Scan the Set Factory Defaults bar code below to eliminate all custom default
values and set the scanner to factory default values. (For factory default values, see Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS beginning on page A-1.)
· Write to Custom Defaults - Custom default parameters can be configured to set unique default values
for all parameters. After changing all parameters to the desired default values, scan the Write to Custom Defaults bar code below to configure custom defaults.

CHAPTER 8 SYMBOLOGIES
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, GETTING STARTED.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Defaults on page 7-4. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
*Indicates Default
*Enable UPC-A (1)
Feature/Option Option Value
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 8-15. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes. See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
8 - 2 LS2208 Product Reference Guide
Symbology Parameter Defaults
Table 8-1 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change the default values, scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the Set Defaults on page 7-4.

Parameter # 16
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). The following options are available:
· If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN
plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
· If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
· If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols
with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 8-13 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
· If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits
EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 8-13 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately. · Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode

Code 128 Security Level
Parameter # 751
Code 128 bar codes are vulnerable to misdecodes by the nature of the symbol, especially when Any Length is set for Code 128 bar codes. The scanner offers four levels of decode security for Code 128 bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security may result in reduced aggressiveness in scanning, so select only the level of security necessary.
· Code 128 Security Level 0: This setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state,
while providing sufficient security in decoding the most in-spec bar codes.
· Code 128 Security Level 1: A bar code must be successfully read twice, and satisfy certain safety
requirements before being decoded. This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.
· Code 128 Security Level 2: Select this option with higher safety requirements to the bar codes if
Security Level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
· Code 128 Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still occur, select this
security level. The highest safety requirements are applied. A bar code must be successfully read three times before being decoded.
NOTE Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out-of-spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is required, it is recommended that you try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Code 39 Buffering - Scan & Store Parameter # 113
This feature allows the scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 symbols. Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a first character for later transmission. The leading space is not buffered. Decoding a Code 39 symbol with no leading space transmits in sequence all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus the "triggering" symbol. See the following pages for further details. Select Do Not Buffer Code 39 to transmit all decoded Code 39 symbols immediately without storing them in the buffer. This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend configuring the scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.
Buffer Code 39 (Enable) (1)
*Do Not Buffer Code 39 (Disable)
(0)
While there is data in the transmission buffer, you cannot select Do Not Buffer Code 39. The buffer holds 200 bytes of information. To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission (see Transmit Buffer on page 8-36) or clear the buffer.
Buffer Data
To buffer data, enable Code 39 buffering and scan a Code 39 symbol with a space immediately following the start pattern.
· Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the scanner issues a low/high beep to indicate
successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer on page 8-36.)
· The scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer. · No transmission occurs.
Clear Transmission Buffer
To clear the transmission buffer, scan the Clear Buffer bar code below, which contains only a start character, a dash (minus), and a stop character.
· The scanner issues a short high/low/high beep. · The scanner erases the transmission buffer. · No transmission occurs.
8 - 36 LS2208 Product Reference Guide
Clear Buffer NOTE The Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character. In order to scan this command, set Code 39
lengths to include length 1.
Transmit Buffer
There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer. 1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below, which includes only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop
character. 2. The scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
· The scanner issues a low/high beep.

· The scanner appends new decode data to buffered data. · The scanner transmits and clears the buffer. · The scanner signals that it transmitted the buffer with a low/high beep. · The scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
NOTE The Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character. In order to scan this command, set Code 39 lengths to include length 1.
Overfilling Transmission Buffer
The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read overflows the transmission buffer:
· The scanner indicates that it rejected the symbol by issuing three long, high beeps. · No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected. Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer
If you scan the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty:
· A short low/high/low beep signals that the buffer is empty. · No transmission occurs. · The buffer remains empty.

I 2 of 5 Security Level Parameter # 1121
NOTE This parameter applies only to scanners branded with a silver logo
.
Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes are vulnerable to misdecodes by the nature of the symbol, especially when Any Length is set for Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes. The scanner offers four levels of decode security for Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security may result in reduced aggressiveness in scanning, so select only the level of security necessary.
· I 2 of 5 Security Level 0: This setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while
providing sufficient security in decoding the most in-spec bar codes.
· I 2 of 5 Security Level 1: A bar code must be successfully read twice, and satisfy certain safety
requirements before being decoded. This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.
· I 2 of 5 Security Level 2: Select this option with higher safety requirements to the bar codes if Security
Level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
· I 2 of 5 Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still occur, select this
security level. The highest safety requirements are applied. A bar code must be successfully read three times before being decoded.
NOTE Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out-of-spec bar codes.
Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is required, it is recommended that you try to improve the quality of the bar codes.
