Unpacking Your Device Connecting the Device After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps: • Check for damage during Connecting withshipment. USB Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton. • Make sure the items the cartonto match your order. A scanner can be in connected the USB port of a computer. • Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping. 1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer.
Reading Techniques The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read. Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol The aiming beam or pattern is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit.
Setting Custom Defaults You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scannning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
Resetting the Factory Defaults ! This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins. If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.
22 Programming the Interface Programming the Interface Introduction This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface. Programming the Interface - Plug and Play Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scanner set up for commonly used interfaces. Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect.

If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off. * Regular Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on. Caps Lock Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards). Shift Lock Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off . This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent). Emulate External Keyboard Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer. Keyboard Conversion Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase.
Default = Off. Control Character Output On * Control Character Output Off Keyboard Modifiers This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode. Control + ASCII Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode.
Turbo Mode: The scanner sends characters to a terminal faster. If the terminal drops characters, do not use Turbo Mode. Default = Off Turbo Mode On * Turbo Mode Off Numeric Keypad Mode: Sends numeric characters as if entered from a numeric keypad. Default = Off Numeric Keypad Mode On * Numeric Keypad Mode Off Automatic Direct Connect Mode: This selection can be used if you have an IBM AT style terminal and the system is dropping characters.
3 3 Input/Output Setting Input/Output Settings Power Up Beeper The scanner can be programmed to beep when it’s powered up. Scan the Off bar code(s) if you don’t want a power up beep. Default = Power Up Beeper On - Scanner. Power Up Beeper Off Scanner * Power Up Beeper On Scanner Beep on BEL Character You may wish to force the scanner to beep upon a command sent from the host. If you scan the Beep on BEL On bar code below, the scanner will beep every time a BEL character is received from the host.
Good Read and Error Indicators Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = Beeper Good Read On. Beeper - Good Read Off * Beeper - Good Read On Beeper Volume – Good Read The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the scanner emits on a good read. Default = High.
Beeper Pitch – Good Read The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the scanner emits on a good read. Default = Medium. Low (1600 Hz) * Medium (2400 Hz) High (4200 Hz) Beeper Pitch – Error The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the sound the scanner emits when there is a bad read or error. Default = Razz.
LED – Good Read The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Default = On. * LED - Good Read On LED - Good Read Off Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read.
Good Read Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the scanner can read another bar code. Default = 0 ms (No Delay). * No Delay Short Delay (500 ms) Medium Delay (1,000 ms) Long Delay (1,500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
LED Illumination - Manual Trigger If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below. This sets the LED illumination for the scanner when the trigger is pressed. Default = High. Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera. The lower the ambient light in the room, the brighter the LEDs need to be so the scanner can “see” the bar codes.
Presentation Mode Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly. Presentation Mode LED Illumination - Presentation Mode If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below. This sets the LED illumination for the scanner when it is in Presentation Mode.
Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 020) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read. 0% Bar Code 1 10 Bar Code 2 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100% Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read.
Scan Presentation Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Presentation Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.
Mobile Phone Read Mode When this mode is selected, your scanner is optimized to read bar codes from mobile phone or other LED displays. However, the speed of scanning printed bar codes may be slightly lower when this mode is enabled. Hand Held Scanning - Mobile Phone Presentation Scanning Mobile Phone Note: To turn off Mobil Phone Read Mode, scan the Manual Trigger Mode bar code (see page 3-5). Hands Free Time-Out The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes.
Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required. Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode (see page 3-7). Default = Medium. Short (500 ms) * Medium (750 ms) Long (1000 ms) Extra Long (2000 ms) User-Specified Reread Delay If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Centering Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation Centering (page 3-8). If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.
4 Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string. Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data.
symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”. Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies. Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter. Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Step 6.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol. Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix. Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies. Your change is automatically saved.
Suffix Selections Add Suffix Clear One Suffix Clear All Suffixes Function Code Transmit When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 7-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.
Intercharacter Delay An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Interfunction Delay An interfunction delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string. Scan the Interfunction Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
5 5 Data Formating Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page 5-8 for further information.) Step 3. Terminal Type Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge. Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099. Step 4. Code I.D.
Other Programming Selections Clear One Data Format This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D. (see Symbology Chart on page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.
