UTILITIES
To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies
This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the decoded 
symbology. (See the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 339) for the single 
character code that identifies each symbology.)  This action first clears all current 
prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all symbologies. This is a temporary 
setting that will be removed when the unit is power cycled.

EZConfig Cloud for Scanning Introduction
EZConfig Cloud for Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming 
functions that can be performed on a scanner connected to your PC. EZConfig 
Cloud for Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware, 
change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. 
Using EZConfig Cloud for Scanning, you can even save/open the programming 
parameters for a scanner. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can 
create a single bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters 
and mail or fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the 
bar code to load in the customized programming.

EZConfig Cloud for Scanning Operations
The EZConfig Cloud for Scanning software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a window. 
Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the scanner and receive scanner 
response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data displayed in the Scan 
Data window can either be saved in a file or printed. 
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the scanner. The 
scanner's programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-
ries. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node in 
the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand 
side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The 
"Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters 
specified for a scanner. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You 
can later write the modified settings to the scanner, or save them to a dcf file. 
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Scanner can perform. 
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-
played in an image window. Images captured from the scanner can be saved to 
files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the 
image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images. 
Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the scanner.

Reset the Factory Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve 
changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default settings, 
first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. 
This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.
Note:If using a cordless system, scanning the Activate Defaults bar code also causes both 
the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become unlinked. 
The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes 
are entered. If using an Access Point, the linking bar code must be scanned. See 
Cordless System Operation: Xenon 1902g/1912 and Granit 1911i/1981i beginning 
on page 41,or Cordless System Operation: Xenon 1902g-BF beginning on page 81 
for additional information.
The Menu Commands, beginning on page 272, list the factory default settings for 
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
Caution:   This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the 
original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.

SERIAL PROGRAMMING 
COMMANDS
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar 
codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the 
scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming 
command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 16). The following com-
mands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a 
command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
boldNames of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and win-
dows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity 
only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR  (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name: This command is only used with cordless devices.  It is used to spec-
ify whether you’re communicating with the base or the scanner.  To 
send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host), 
use :Xenon:  The default factory setting for a Xenon scanner is Xenon  
						

							268 Xenon/Granit User Guidescanner.  This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, 
which accepts alphanumeric values.  If the name is not known, a 
wildcard (*) can be used :*
Note:Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once 
they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and not to the scanner.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 
command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are 
identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the 
RS232 baud rate is BAD.
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the com-
mand is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s 
operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table. A period 
(.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatile 
menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-
permanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^What is the default value for the setting(s).
?What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
*What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s 
response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A 
pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
:Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the scanner.
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of 
commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage field 
of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used 
because they are ignored by the device.  
						

							Xenon/Granit User Guide 269
SubTag Field Usage 
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the sub-
set of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data field 
should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the spe-
cific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the 
Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the sequence. 
If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new command 
sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the 
additional command are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag 
field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACKIndicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQIndicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command. 
NAKIndicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of 
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an 
entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only 
accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status 
character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the period, excla-
mation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.
Examples of Query Commands
In the following examples, a bracketed notation [   ] depicts a non-displayable 
response.
Example:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena*.
Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK] 
						

							270 Xenon/Granit User GuideThis response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of val-
ues from 0 to 1 (off and on). 
Example:What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable 
(CBRENA) is 1, or on. 
Example:What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set 
to 1, or on. 
Example:What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter: cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set 
to 1, or on; 
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit; 
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled; 
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters; 
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters; 
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value. 
Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, 
the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger 
Mode bar code (page 119), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering 
(page 121). Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and 
deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate: SYN T CR
Deactivate: SYN U CR
