38. APPENDIX 01 - Communication with Barcode Scanner
1. For communication with barcode scanners, RADWAG balances use RS232 interfaces
and simplex transmission (one-way direction), without handshaking. For this purpose,
use of second line of the cable is sufficient. Used scanners should be equipped with
RS232 interface, both hardware and software handshaking must be disabled.
2. Transmission parameters can be set for both weighing devices and scanners. For both
devices the following parameters must comply: baud rate, data bits quantity, parity
control, stop bits quantity; e.g. 9600,8,N,1 – baud rate 9600 bit/s, data 8-bits, no parity
control, 1 stop bit.
3. Barcode scanners can send additional information apart from the expected barcode e.g.
symbology (type of barcode). Due to the fact that RADWAG devices and software do not
use such information, it is advisable to disable it.
4. Some RADWAG systems can omit unnecessary coded information by using parameters
that mark the beginning and the length of the code required to analysis.
5. A special protocol is required in order the code be received by RADWAG equipment. It is
required to program an appropriate prefix and suffix. In RADWAG-adopted standard, the
prefix is 01 sign (byte) hexadecimal format, the suffix is 0D sign (byte) hexadecimal
format.
6. Most barcode scanners allow to enable/disable different symbologies (barcode types).
