Section 1 Document ObjectivesThis document describes how to configure the IBM Anyplace Kiosk (4836, 4838) integrated omni scanner through various

methods.

The following communication methods will be discussed:

IBM Unified Point Of Sale (UPOS) (v1.90 or higher required)

Direct serial communication Keyboard Wedge

Section 2 Scanner IntroductionThe Omni Scanner is an RS232 device which uses a USB to Serial virtual COM port architecture. The scanner can be

accessed through a standard RS-232 COM port. The default COM port used for the scanner is COM4. This is accomplished

through a device installed on the scanner working in conjunction with the Scanner & MSR Drivers which must be installed

in order to communicate with the scanner using any of the method described in this document.

Since the scanner is on a standard RS-232 COM device in Windows, standard RS-232 communication functions can be usedto configure and read data from the scanner.

This scanner is optimized for aggressive reading on 1-D symbols, and also features a Smart Raster scan pattern for 2-D

symbols including PDF417.

For reference purposes only, the engine used in the Omni Scanner is the Symbol SE3223. Additional information is available

from Symbol (http://www.symbol.com). Symbol does not provide any support for, nor warrant in any way, the Omni

Scanner.

Three Scan Pattern OptionsThe Integrated Omni Scanner has the capability of 3 different scan patterns 1-D linear, 2-D raster, and omni-

directional "Cyclone". This allows you to select the best scan pattern for your particular application.

Scan Pattern Definitions

Omnidirectional Scan Pattern

The scan pattern is a high speed rotatingomnidirectional scan pattern that provides very

aggressive performance on 1-D bar codes because

there are virtually no "holes" in the pattern. This

ensures fast throughput at the point of activity and

the ability to read 1-D symbols in 360 of rotation,

eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the

field of View.

Smart Raster Scan PatternCreates a single line which opens vertically to read

PDF417 symbols using the Smart raster feature.

This feature auto detects the type of bar code being

scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly. This

provides optimal performance on 1-D, PDF417,RSS, and Composite codes.

Always Raster PatternCreates an adjustable raster pattern of a

programmed height. This pattern is best for PDF417

environments.

Section 3 Using IBM UPOS PackageThis section describes the steps necessary to properly configure the scanner, install the IBM Unified Point of Sale (UPOS)

driver package, and test for proper functionality. For more information on POS Driver standards visit the Monroe

Consulting Services website at http://www.monroecs.com/posstandards.htm.

NOTE: IBM UPOS v1.90 or higher is required to support the OMNI Scanner.

Scanner InitializationYou must first enable the scanner for serial based communications. To do so, scan all of the BASE barcodes and

the RTS Line State = LOW barcode provided in Appendix A.

Additional parameters will be configured as needed automatically by the UPOS installation package.

Any specific configuration changes which your application requires can be setup within the JPOS.XML file(see below).

Testing Basic FunctionalityBefore proceeding, we recommend that you first test the scanner to ensure that the hardware and drivers are working

properly. The simplest test for this is to use HyperTerminal to display the scanned data upon reading a barcode.

1. Ensure that the Scanner and MSR Drivers are properly installed. Refer to the Scanner Introduction

section above.2. Initialize the scanner using the steps above.3. Launch HyperTerminal and create a new connection using COM4. Configure this connection to use 9600,

8, N, 1, XON/XOFF.

4. When you scan a bar code the scanner should beep for a good decode and the data should appear in theterminal window. Note that unless you configure the scanner otherwise, with additional Parameter

Barcodes, the scanner will transmit all digits scanned including any prefixes and/or check digits. A full

listing of the parameter barcodes is available in the Integration Reference Guide.

UPOS Installation ProcedureThe steps listed below are a brief overview of the procedures to setup basic OPOS and/or JavaPOS support. Please

refer to the UPOS Users Guide for detailed installation and usage instructions. The latest publications are available

on our IBM Retail Store Solutions Support site at:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/search.wss?rs=219&q=PUBUPOS

Current Package LevelsAs of the date on this document, the current releases of the packages required for this installation are:

IBM UPOS Package v1.90 (or higher)

OPOS Common Controls v1.9.000 (or higher)

The current level of UPOS is based on the Point of Sale device standards available from the Monroe

Consulting Services (MCS) website (http://www.monroecs.com/unifiedpos.htm). Additional information

and downloads are available directly from this site.

1. If you already have the OPOS Common Controls version 1.9.000 or higher installed, continue tothe next step. Otherwise, remove any previous versions then download and install the latest OPOS

Common Controls (CCOs) from the MCS website

(http://www.monroecs.com/oposccos_current.htm). The CCOs are packaged in both ZIP and

WISE install versions. We recommend that you use the WISE install method.

2. Download and install the latest IBM UPOS Package from the IBM Support websitehttp://www.ibm.com/solutions/retail/store/support/html/driverss.html.

3. The IBM UPOS package supports communication with the Line Scanner, Omni Scanner, MSRand Presence Sensor. Install the UPOS package following the steps provided in the UPOS

12/19

13. The recommended device configurations are shown below:

NOTE: Device Name can be any value you select, however it MUST match exactly with the

Device Name used in your application. It is case sensitive as well.

14. Once the packages have been installed and the devices configured, you can test the installationsimply using our online OPOS Checkup. This is a set of online tests which use standard HTML,

VBScript and JavaScript to communicate with the devices, using UPOS calls. In addition to being

a very good test resource, the source code from these tests can assist you with understanding the

basic methods of using OPOS from web applications. The OPOS Checkup is available at

http://www.ibm.com/solutions/retail/store/support/html/oposcheckup.html

Customizing the JPOS.XMLAdditional scanner configuration settings can be made by manually editing the jpos.xml file and inserting the

required values.

"Scanner Parameter Barcodes Enabled"

This setting is recommended for diagnostic purposes only. When used on a deployed Kiosk, we

recommend that these values be set to "false".

With these set to "true", the Parameter barcodes (i.e. "Set all Defaults") will be permitted tomodify the operating of the scanner directly.

With these set to "false", the scanner will ignore any Parameter barcodes. If configuration

changes are required, they can be made using the JPOS.XML.

For example:

For more information on these and other properties available under UPOS refer to the UPOS publications on our

support site.

Section 4 Using Direct Communication via COM PortThis section describes the steps necessary to properly configure the scanner for direct communication via the COM Port

(COM4), and test for proper functionality.

Scanner InitializationTo communicate with the scanner directly via the COM port, you must first enable the scanner for this method. To

do so, scan all of the BASE barcodes, and the RTS Line State = High barcode provided in Appendix A.

Testing Basic FunctionalityBefore proceeding to coding your application, we recommend that you first test the scanner to ensure that the

hardware and drivers are working properly. The simplest test for this is to use HyperTerminal to display the

scanned data upon reading a barcode.

1. Ensure that the Scanner and MSR Drivers are properly installed. Refer to the Scanner Introduction

section above.

2. Initialize the scanner using the steps above.

3. Launch HyperTerminal and create a new connection using COM4. Configure this connection to use 9600,

8, N, 1, XON/XOFF.

4. When you scan a bar code the scanner should beep for a good decode and the data should appear in theterminal window. Note that unless you configure the scanner otherwise, with additional Parameter

Barcodes, the scanner will transmit all digits scanned including any prefixes and/or check digits. A full

listing of the parameter barcodes are available in the Integration Reference Guide

Available Programming ReferencesThe Symbol Simple Serial Interface (SSI) protocol is used for communication with the Scanner. The SSI interface

uses nonstandard handshaking that requires that RTS be inactive before the scanner will send data. The SSI

Software Development Kit (SDK) for this protocol can be downloaded from the Symbol web site

(www.symbol.com). The development kit is owned, licensed and supported by Symbol Technologies.

Section 5 Keyboard Wedge ModeThe IBM Anyplace Kiosk scanner(s) are not designed to operate as a keyboard wedge device. However, there are some third

party applications which allow you to configure serial devices to send data through the keyboard buffer.

Microsoft Windows XP has a built in feature called Serial Keys which is one such application.

Microsoft Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS) does not include this feature.

Use of third party applications, including Serial Keys is not supported by IBM Retail Store Solutions. The information

below is provided for reference only.

Scanner Initialization & TestingConfigure and test the scanner for Direct I/O use following the steps provided in Section 4 above.

Enabling Serial KeysThe Serial Keys feature is configurable through Accessibility Options in Control Panel.

Ensure that the Use Serial Keys checkbox is checked and that the correct COM port is selected by clicking the

Settings button. To save the settings between reboots, check both checkboxes under Administrative Options.

Disabling Serial KeysWhen disabling the Serial Keys functionality, removing the check for Use Serial Keys under Accessibility

Options is not sufficient. Even when this check is removed, the Serial Keys service (SKEYS.EXE) will still be

running and will interfere with other applications ability to access the COM port configured in Serial KeysSettings.

If not using the Serial Keys feature, we recommend that you set the Serial Keys service to Disabled under

Windows Services. This service will not be listed under Windows Services until it has been configured and enabled

the first time. One enabled, the Service is persistent.

NOTE: The Serial Keys feature will only monitor a single COM port. If multiple COM ports are required, there

are many third party solutions available (not supported).
