1 Introduction AI-6821 is a 2D cordless scanner that can read bar codes on objects or on screens. The high performance scanning engine delivers high speed and high readability, making it an ideal scanning solution for business. ￭ High decoding performance Fast and easy scan for 1D and 2D bar codes. ￭ Water resistant and dust-tight With the IP65 rating, your scanner can be used in various environment without being damaged by water and dust.
Plug Quick Start Guide It comes with the power supply. The plug varies according to your country. USB Cable or RS-232 Cable Power Supply ￭ For USB packs, it is optional. ￭ For RS-232 packs, it is standard. When you receive your scanner, open the package immediately and inspect for shipping damage. If you discover any damage, contact the shipping company and file a claim. Argox is not responsible for any damage incurred during shipping. Save all package materials for the shipping company to inspect.
1.2 Understand your scanner 1.2.
1.2.
1.3 Indicators 1.3.1 Status lights Status lights (LED) are helpful for checking your scanner’s status. Both your scanner and cradle have LEDs, and each of them have four colors: blue, green, red and amber. The table below shows the LED behavior and the status it indicates. Status Scanner LED Flash blue at 1-second intervals Cradle LED Flash blue at 1-second intervals Off Off Flash green once Flash red every 0.
1.3.2 Status sound In addition to status lights, your scanner and your cradle make sounds to indicate the status it is in.
2 Get started This chapter provides information about how to install, connect and use your scanner to do your work, and how to charge and replace your battery. 2.1 Installation This section describes how to set up your scanner. 2.1.1 Set up your scanner 1. Connect the USB or the RS-232 cable to your cradle. Lay the cable into the notch on the cradle edge.
2. Connect the USB or the RS-232 cable to your computer. Note 1 If you’ve purchased the USB pack, you can charge your scanner by connecting the USB cable to your computer. You can also charge it by connecting a power supply (optional) to your USB cable. The charging time is shorter with a power supply. Note 2 If you’ve purchased the RS-232 pack, connect the power supply to the RS-232 cable and the wall outlet. Charging by Power Supply Full Charge Time 4.5 hours USB Cable 6.5 hours 3.
2.1.2 How to scan AI-6821 emits a cross pattern when it is scanning. Any bar code in the range of the cross could be read. Typically, the bar code closest to the center will be read first, but if the quality of this bar code is poor, your scanner might read other bar code first. If you want to scan a bar code in a small area that contains multiple bar codes, it would be better to cover other bar codes in the range of the cross, in case your scanner scans the bar code you don’t need.
2.1.3 Work with the ASCII table Sometimes, you might need to send some control characters that can’t be typed, or enter characters without a keyboard. You can do it using ASCII codes. In Appendix B, you'll find the ASCII table. Both column and row numbers are hexadecimal. The ASCII code of a character is the combination of a column and a row number, where the column comes first. For example, the ASCII code of BEL is "07" and the number sign (#) is "23.
2.2.1 Charge the battery You can charge the battery by connecting the USB cable to your computer, or by using a power supply, which charges the battery faster. When your scanner is fully charged, your cradle’s LED turns to green. Charging by Power Supply Full Charge Time 4.5 hours USB Cable 6.5 hours Caution Keep the charging pins dry when you put your scanner on your cradle to charge the battery. Wet charging pins may cause water seeping into your cradle and shortening its life. 2.2.
2. Remove the battery cap. 3. Pinch the tape at the top of the battery and pull the battery out. 4. Insert the new battery into your scanner in the direction of the arrow printed on the battery.

3.7.2 Scan Utility Scan Utility provides a simple, clear interface that you can easily view and change Data Magic settings, and import or export the settings to your scanner. Currently, Scan Utility uses RS-232 for data transmission. If your scanner is connected using the USB cable, you need to install Virtual COM for Scan Utility for data transmission. For more information about installing Virtual COM, see Virtual COM. To use Data Magic, start Scan Utility and do this: 1. On the File menu, click New. 2.
7. 8. 9. Repeat the previous step until you set all the rules you need, and click the String tab. In the String tab, there are 10 string boxes: Insert G1-G10 chars setting. Each box corresponds to the group you’ve selected in the string list in the Data Magic tab. Depending on your selection, type the text you want in the specific box. For example, if you’ve selected Group1, type in the Insert G1 chars setting box. The string box accepts up to 12 single-byte characters. When you’re done, click OK.
In the Data Magic tab, you’ll find 10 rules. Each rule can be set to one of the commands. The table below describes how to use those commands.
Command Example Replace String: Group1 With String: Group 2 Group 1: 456 Group 2: Argox Original String: 12345678 Result: 123Argox78 From: 2 To: 4 Original String: 12345678 Result: 234 From: 2 To: 4 Original String: 12345678 Result: 567 String: Group 3 Group 3: 45 Original String: 12345678 Include/Exclu: Include KeepF KeepB FindF ￭ Result: 45678 Include/Exclu: Exclude FindB ￭ Result: 678 String: Group 3 Group 4: 45 Original String: 12345678 Include/Exclu: Include ￭ Result: 12345 Include/Exclu: Exclu
Virtual COM You can configure Virtual COM to transmit data to a computer via a virtual COM port. After installing Virtual COM, your scanner will be assigned a virtual COM port, which you can use to receive or send data. To configure Virtual COM on Windows XP and set up a virtual COM port in Scan Utility: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Connect your scanner to your computer. Use the bar code in Interface Selection to switch the interface to Virtual COM.
7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Click the Hardware tab, and click Device Manager. Click Ports (COM & LPT). Find ARGOX Virtual COM and see the port number in the parenthesis. Close Device Manager. Start Scan Utility. On the File menu, click New. In the Select Model list, click AI6821, and click OK. On the Tool menu, click Host RS-232 Setup. In the Host RS-232 Setup dialog box, in the RS-232 Setting list, click the port you’ve seen in step 8, and click Port Setting.
4 Bar codes This chapter provides the bar codes supported by AI-6821 and their attributes. Code 11 Length_min, Length_max You can use these two attributes to specify the decoding length of a bar code. There are three modes. ￭ Both are zeros When both min length and max length are set to 0, the decoding length can be any number of characters. ￭ Max is larger than or equal to min When the max length is larger than the min length, the decoding length is between the max and the min.
C11_checkdigit_verify Use an algorithm to calculate a check digit to verify the completeness of the bar code. C11_checkdigit_transmit Append the check digit to the end of a bar code. Note You need to turn on C11_checkdigit_verify to use this feature. (*) Default Attributes Option Description Code11_ enable On Turn on Code 11. Code11_ enable *Off Turn off Code 11.

5 Troubleshooting You might encounter some issues when you scan bar codes. This chapter provides information that helps you fix common issues. 5.1 Scanner issues My scanner doesn’t emit the aiming pattern. ￭ Did you charge your scanner? ￭ Did you turn off the aiming pattern? ￭ Your battery wears out. Replace the battery and make sure the new battery is charged. ￭ Your scanner is waiting your computer to acknowledge data and doesn’t receive any response.
5.2 Bar code issues My scanner doesn’t read a bar code properly. ￭ Reset your scanner. ￭ Check the quality of your bar codes. Wrinkled, smudged or torn bar codes won’t be read by your scanner. ￭ Are your bar codes too close to each other? Cover the bar codes you don’t need and scan the target again. The data isn’t sent to my computer.
