A2. Scanner SSI Command Communication Format # #

Communication Interface:

  • Bluetooth SPP/BLE mode, USB CDC.

Communication Description:
The communication between the host computer and the scanner supports the configuration barcodes listed in this manual. The format is described below.
Note: The interval between sending two commands should be greater than 25ms.

Communication Format between Host Computer and Scanner:

  • Format: STX + LEN + SOURCE (0x0A) + CMD + (DATA) + CHK + ETX
  • ACK: LEN + SOURCE (0x0B) (Setting), or Reply Data (Read).
  • LEN: Number of bytes in the frame excluding STX and ETX.
  • CHK: The checksum is the weighted sum of each byte in the frame, excluding STX, CHK, and ETX.

Examples:

VAL*W   168 110 370 585 536 525 396 345 276 240 70 49 F1AA  

Checksum Calculation:
CHK = 0x10000 - ((VAL * WEIGHT) & 0xffff)

If only CMD/DATA is sent, the scanner will respond in the same way as scanning the corresponding configuration barcode.
