Thank you for purchasing this barcode scanner with an advanced and versatile decoder.The decoder works with variety of barcode types,reading devices, and computer interfaces.It discriminates over twenty different symbologies automatically. This menu provides an easy way to configure the decoding options and interface selections by scan- ning bar codes listed in the menu. FCC Approval This device had been tested in accordance with the pro- cedures and in compliance with Part 15 Subpart B of FCC Rules.
This document provide an easy way to program the decoding options and interface selections by scanning bar codes listed in this guide. Important Notice 1. This document is in A5 size. Please check your printing setting before printing it out. 2. When printing barcodes for programming, the use of a high-resolution laser printer is strongly suggested for the best scan result. 3. The settings shall be updated periodically without prior notice. For the latest version, please contact your authorized distributor.
Scan this programming code to set the scanner /Cradle parameters to factory default: Set the scanner to Factory Default Reset all configuration parameters to their factory default setting of the Scanner and Cradle. After this reset you must select all required parameters that meet applications. Display the firmware version of the scanner, please scan below barcode.
Keyboard mode RS232 Serial Mode USB Com Port Mode 8
A reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on) when beam is activated and stops when beam is deactivated. Continuous Scanning When the scanner is turned on a continuous reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on). Pulse A reading session begins when beam is activated and stays on until a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the timeout. After the timeout, the scan engine turns off.
Autostand This mode allows you to switch from Flashing trigger mode to Level trigger mode. Autostand begins in flashing mode: At power up the lighting and decoding are on (no need to activate the trigger line) and after a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the trigger timeout, the scanner starts flashing. To switch to Level trigger mode activate the trigger line (press the trigger).

You can set the best reading performance of your VEGA by adjusting certain imager parameters. To choose the best reading performance, depends on the environment, your used application and type of barcodes. Area mode allows you to set the position of the VEGA in any direction regardless of the orientation of the barcode, and perform a good read on 1D and 2D barcodes. Linear mode allows you to increase your decoding speed while scanning 1D barcodes.
When active, the scan engine stops the reading session after a successful decoding. - NOTE: this parameter is NOT used with continuous and continuous + flashing modes.

Note: This step does not include codes for all support Barcode symbologies. For a complete overview of support symbologies see appendix. If you need programming codes for symbologies which are not available in this chapter, please contact Scantech-ID Technical Support department or use VEGA utility tool.
The multicode function is used configure the scanner to read a series of bar codes and then transmit them all at once. Follow these steps to setup the multicode function: 1. Activate the multicode function. 2. Select the number of bar codes to be included the multicode.
The scanner can be programmed to output Barcode data according to the following format: [BAR CODE DATA] [POSTAMBLE STRING] Postamble None CR LF TAB SP 36
< SPP Master Mode > Please follow the steps to setup the communication between the scanner and cradle. 1) The scanner must scan “SPP Master Mode” barcode to set the scanner in master mode. 2) Scan the Bluetooth MAC address code located on the bottom of the cradle. 3) When the Bluetooth MAC address code was successfully scanned, scanner will sound 3 short beeps with green LED flash once. 4) Wait approximately five seconds for completing the connection process with up-tone.
OUT OF RANGE When “Out of Range” function is enabled, and the scanner is working at out of transmission range, the scanned data will be stored to out-of-range memory. Memory size is approximately 25,000 sets of EAN13 barcode type. The all stored data will be transmitted to device when the link is reconnected , and the all data stored in out-of-range memory will be cleared.
BATCH MODE “***” means “Quick Setting Label”. The function can be executed directly by scanning barcode instead of doing the general programming process. Batch Mode On Batch Mode Off *** Batch Data Read *** Batch Data Clear ***Delete Last Data Firmware Version : Display the firmware version of the scanner, please scan below barcode.
