Scanner Components Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance. If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia.
Caution and Serial Number Labels Item Number, Serial Number and Compliance Information location. Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
Cable Installation and Removal Installation 1. Insert the cable’s modular connector into the socket on the scanner. 2. Pull gently on the cable strain relief to ensure the cable is installed. Figure 3. Removal Turn off power to the host system before removing the cable from the scanner. 1. Locate the small pinhole on the front side of the scanner near the end of the handle. 2. Bend an ordinary paper clip into the shape shown. 3.
Scanner Operation Audible Indicators When the scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). One Beep – On Power Up When the unit powers up, the green LED turns on, then the red LED flashes and the scanner beeps once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.
Visual Indicators The scanner is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan respectively when the unit is in operation. LED Figure 5. LED Location Green and Red LEDs Are Off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green Steady green indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation.
Failure Modes One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.
Troubleshooting Guide The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a customer service representative to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptoms Possible Causes Solution All Interfaces No power is being supplied to the unit. The unit has no LEDs, beep or laser. No power is being supplied to the unit from host. Check the transformer, the outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the unit. Some host systems cannot supply enough current to power the scanner.
Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The unit is trying to scan a particular symbology that is not enabled. UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default. Verify the type of bar code being read has been selected. The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code being scanned does not satisfy the configured criteria for character length lock or minimum length.
Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit scans but the data is not correct. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Make sure that the proper PC type AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify the correct country code and data format is selected. Adjust the inter-character delay symptom. The unit is transmitting each character twice. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Increase the interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted.

Configuration Introduction Your new scanner has been factory configured with a set of default parameters. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code based configuration tool are provided. Once the configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is off.
Returning to Factory Defaults Scan the Recall Defaults bar code to erase all previous settings and return the scanner to its factory default communication protocol.
Code Types and Decode Rules Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that is a factory default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the Multi-Code configuration method. 2 of 5 Codes ³ 9 0 1 6 0 0 ³ 9 0 1 7 0 0 ³ 9 0 3 4 0 0 ~ ITF Symbol Length Lock 1 – To specify a first ITF symbol length lock, scan this bar code and the appropriate code byte sequence located on page 23.

Scanner Operation Redundant Scans ³ 3 0 1 1 0 0 ³ 3 0 1 1 1 0 * 0 Redundant Scans – Requires 1 good decode for a good scan. 1 Redundant Scan – Requires 2 consecutive decodes of the same bar code data for a good scan. Data Transmission Delays Use these codes to select the amount of delay between sending data characters from the scanner to the host. This helps prevent the scanner from overflowing host-input buffers.

User Configurable Prefixes, All Data ³ 9 0 3 5 0 0 ³ 9 0 3 6 0 0 ~ Configurable Prefix Character #1 – A prefix ID can be added and assigned for data transmission. Use this code with a code byte sequence, on page 23, which represents the desired character. ~ Configurable Prefix Character #2 – Assigns a second configurable prefix character.

Code Bytes Usage The scanner must be in Configuration Mode for the features requiring code bytes for configuration. The Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code must be scanned before starting the configuration cycle. User configurable prefix/suffix characters can then be saved by scanning the 3 digit decimal equivalent of the ASCII character into the appropriate character location with the code byte bar codes. Example: To add an asterisk (*) as a Prefix, scan the bar codes. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
