INTRODUCTION
Description
The Omni™ slot reader can scan and decode most popular bar codes, and/or
read 1, 2, or 3 tracks of magnetic stripe information, depending on the model.
In addition, it has full data editing capabilities.
The Omni can be connected to a single-ended serial device, such as a cash
register, PC, or terminal, through an RS-232 serial port or a USB port, de-
pending on the reader interface.
This unit is fully programmable via keystroke commands. The data can be
formatted with preamble/postamble and terminator characters to match the
format expected by the host. The programing codes are the same for both RS-
232 and USB/RS-232 units. Please see Appendix E for details.
Power is obtained from a separate power supply module when the unit is con-
figured as an RS-232 device. Power, when the reader is connected via a USB
port, is obtained from the host.

INSTALLATION
Host Connections
The Omni reader is connected to the host’s RS-232 communications port. The
cable has a DB-9 connector at one end, and is connected to the reader at the
other end. (An adapter can be used to connect to a DB-25 RS-232 port.)
The USB/RS-232 version of the Omni is connected to one of the host’s USB
ports. It is necessary to configure the unit as an RS-232 device by installing
the ID TECH USB/RS-232 drivers. Please see Appendix F for details.
Data is transmitted to the host in an ASCII data format. The reader’s output
can be formatted with terminating characters and special preamble and/or
postamble character strings to match the data format expected by the terminal.
The terminal must be configured to accept the data and to perform the
appropriate processing. Care must be taken to ensure that the RS-232
parameters (baud rate, data bits, Start/Stop characters, parity, and handshaking
method) match those expected by the terminal. Just transmitting the data to
the serial port does not necessarily mean it will appear on the screen as if it
were entered manually.
If the host is programmable (such as a PC running in terminal mode), a
communication program, such as Procomm or Hyper Terminal, can be used to
display the data.
There is insufficient power available on a standard RS-232 serial port to
power the Omni, so an external wall-mounted power module must be used.
Connect the power cable from this unit to the power receptacle located on
the DB-9 connector. Care must be taken to ensure the power module operates
within +5VDC +10%.
When operating the USB/RS-232 version of the Omni, power is obtained
from the USB port. No external power module is necessary.

Section 3
CONFIGURATION
The Omni reader must be appropriately configured to your application.
Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the host system. These
settings are programmed into the reader through the keyboard. Once pro-
grammed, these configuration settings are stored in the reader’s non-volatile
memory (so they are not affected by the cycling of power).
Bar Code Input
The reader may need to be configured to accept the desired bar code data and
format it for transmission to the host. This includes enabling it for the correct
bar code symblogy, setting any check digit, start/stop codes, preamble/post-
amble, and min/max symbol length. Default settings enable all least restric-
tive settings.
Magnetic Stripe Input
The reader may need to be configured to accept the desired magnetic stripe
data and format it for transmission to the host. The encoded data can be
ANSI, ISO, AAMVA, and California Drivers License magnetic stripe formats.
The reader can be configured to read any track, 1 only, 2 only, 3 only, 1 & 2, 2
& 3, or 1,2 &3. In addition, track start/stop sentinels can be sent or suppressed
and track 2 account number information only can be selected along with user
selectable track separator characters. Default settings enable reading on all
available tracks (depending on whether the reader is equipped to read one,
two, or three tracks).
Configuration Setup Procedure
1. On an AT-compatible computer, enter any communication program. (Hyper
Terminal is recommend in the Windows environment.)
2. Turn on the CAPS LOCK feature on the keyboard, as the configuration
code is case sensitive.
3. Identify the settings that you wish to change. All options are covered in the
various setup groups explained in this manual. (The reader’s related setting
features are grouped together.)
4. Enter the GROUP SETUP MODE by typing /E/D/FX (where X is the
group name identified in Step 3).
4
5. Press the <Enter> key. The reader will beep twice to indicate the reader is
now in the Setup Mode for group X.
6. Type the two-character selection code for the feature that you wish to
change.
7. Press the <Enter> key. The reader will beep twice to indicate the code is
accepted by the reader as a valid code for Setup Group X.
8. Type the one-character code for the change you wish to make.
9. Press the <Enter> key. The reader will beep twice to indicate the code is
accepted by the reader as a valid code for that particular feature.
10. Repeat Steps 6 to 9 for any other features that you wish to change in the
same Setup Group.
11. Save the changes and exit Setup Mode by typing XZ. (Of course, X must
be the same group name entered in Step 4.)
12. Press the <Enter> key. The reader will sound four beeps to indicate
the new settings have been saved in the reader and the reader is back to the
normal reading mode.
EXAMPLE:
To set the reader’s beep volume to LOW, enter following setup code in
Notepad:
/E/D/FB<Enter>B1<Enter>1<Enter>BZ<Enter>
The setup routine is always the same, regardless of group:
1. Enter group setup mode.
2. Enter the feature selection code.
3. Change the setting for that feature.
4. Save the change and exit.
The reader’s response is always the same, regardless of group:
· Two slow beeps indicate the code has been accepted by the reader.
· Four slow beeps indicate the reader has saved the settings and has exited the
setup mode successfully.
· Four quick beeps indicate the code entered is invalid and has been rejected
by the reader.
Before proceeding to enter the next code, make sure the reader gives the correct
number of beeps when <ENTER> is depressed.
