150 Chapter 7: Using the VCode’s bar code reader VCode User Guide About changing the reader’s label formats Introduction The bar code reader can store the necessary information to allow it to decode up to four bar code formats (symbologies). If you want to read one or more formats that are different from the currently configured formats, you will need to reconfigure the settings in the bar code reader’s firmware. You can also use the process described in this topic to determine the formats that your bar code reader currently uses. About firmware Firmware is the name given to the software stored in the microprocessors of an instrument’s printed circuit boards. Firmware is responsible for the most basic operations of the hardware and is not normally accessible to users. As is the case with the VCode bar code reader, some firmware can be updated. Bar code reader kit To view or change the bar code reader’s stored formats you connect directly to the reader. To do this, you will need to purchase the bar code reader programming kit from Velocity11 (Programming Kit, Bar Code Reader Keyence, part number 14912.001). The kit contains: ❑ A wiring harness. The wiring harness provides power to the bar code reader while also making a serial connection to the computer. ❑ A power supply adapter. ❑ A software CD-ROM, containing bar code reader connection software called BLSet32E.exe. Serial cable In addition to the kit, you will need a serial cable, even if you normally connect to the VCode with an Ethernet cable. Workflow overview The overall workflow for changing the reader’s bar code formats is to: Step Procedure See... 1 Connect the wiring harness. “Procedure” on page 151 2 Open the bar code reader software and change the COM port settings to open a communication connection to the bar code reader. 3 Change the bar code reader formats. “Communicating with the bar code reader” on page 152 “Changing the bar code reader’s formats” on page 153
Chapter 7: Using the VCode’s bar code reader VCode User Guide 151 Connecting the reader’s wiring harness Introduction This topic describes how to connect the wiring harness to the bar code reader. You do this to change the bar code formats stored in the reader. For an overview of the process of changing the bar code formats stored in the reader, see “About changing the reader’s label formats” on page 150. Wiring harness connections The following diagram shows how the wiring harness will be connected at the end of the connection procedure. Wiring harness To computer To bar code reader To power supply 00181 Procedure To connect the bar code reader’s wiring harness: 1. Remove the bar code reader’s serial cable from the applicator’s connection panel. 00177 00177 2. Locate the male serial connector of the wiring harness and connect it to the bar code reader serial connector. The male connector is the one that has the power cable entering it. 3. At the applicator’s connection panel, unplug the serial cable that comes from the computer and connect it to the wiring harness. 4. Connect the power cable jack from the power adapter to the power cable jack of the harness. 5. Plug the power cable adapter into a power receptacle (mains electricity socket).
