QUICK START The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in this manual or via the ScanMaster software. This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration. Note: If RS-232 is selected for output interface, the host can directly send serial commands to configure the scanner. For example, run HyperTerminal.exe and type the 6-digit command located under each setup barcode.
PAGE 20
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide ENTER CONFIGURATION MODE For the scanner to enter the configuration mode, you must have it read the "Enter Setup" barcode, which can be located at the bottom of almost every even page of this manual. The scanner will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode. Enter Setup For configuring scanner parameters, see “Read a Setup Barcode” below.
PAGE 21
Quick Start DEFAULT SETTINGS SAVE USER SETTINGS AS DEFAULTS For the scanner to keep the customized settings as user defaults, you must have it read the “Save as User Defaults” barcode. This is a normal setup barcode, and the scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone). After reading the “Update” barcode, the current settings will be saved as user defaults.
PAGE 22
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide READ A SETUP BARCODE CONFIGURE PARAMETERS For most of the scanner parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values. The scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone) when each parameter is set successfully. But for a number of special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep to indicate it needs to read more setup barcodes.
PAGE 23
Quick Start The example below shows how to save your settings as “User Default” so that you may restore user defaults at a later time: Steps Action User Feedback if Successful 1 Power on the scanner… The scanner will respond with a long beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. 2 Enter the Configuration Mode… The scanner will respond with six beeps (high-low tone repeats three times), and its LED indicator will be flashing red.

PAGE 33
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.5 SEND “NR” TO HOST This feature only works when Keyboard Wedge or RS-232 is selected for output interface. You may have the scanner send the “NR” string to the host to notify the No Read event.
PAGE 34
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6 SCAN MODES Different scan modes are supported – select the scan mode that best suits the requirements of a specific application. Refer to the comparison table below.
PAGE 35
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.6.1 CONTINUOUS MODE The scanner is always scanning. After a successful decoding, the removal of barcode is required. It is not allowed to proceed to decode until the decoding delay time has passed. To decode the same barcode repeatedly, move away the barcode and put it back again and again for scanning. Note: Refer to “Delay between Re-read”. Continuous Mode Decoding Delay Set the time interval between each decoding. *Disable 0.
PAGE 36
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.3 LASER MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is held down. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, (2) the pre-set timeout expires, or (3) you release the trigger. Note: Refer to “Scanning Timeout”. *Laser Mode 1.6.4 AUTO OFF MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is pressed. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, and (2) the pre-set timeout expires. Note: Refer to “Scanning Timeout”.
PAGE 37
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.6.6 ALTERNATE MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is pressed The scanning won't stop until you press the trigger again. Alternate Mode 1.6.7 AIMING MODE The scanner will aim at a barcode once the trigger is pressed, and start scanning when the trigger is pressed again within one second. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, and (2) the pre-set timeout expires.
PAGE 38
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.8 MULTI-BARCODE MODE The scanner will be scanning as long as the trigger is held down, capable of decoding one single barcode, as well as multiple unique barcodes one at a time. While decoding a bunch of unique barcodes, if a barcode is decoded twice, its subsequent decoding will be ignored and the scanner is expecting another unique barcode. The scanning won't stop until you release the trigger.
PAGE 39
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.7 SCANNING TIMEOUT Specify the scanning time interval (1~254 sec.; 0= Disable) when the scan mode is set to any of the following – Laser mode Auto Off mode Auto Power Off mode Aiming mode Scanner Time-out after 0~254 sec. (*10) 1) Read the barcode above to specify the time interval before the scan engine times out. 2) Read the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 157.

PAGE 41
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.9 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES Select the level of reading security. For example, If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid and induce the "READER Event". If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid.
PAGE 42
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (0~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.
PAGE 43
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.11 AUTO-SENSE MODE (1500 ONLY) This mode is only available when you want to seat the scanner in the Auto-Sense Stand. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode. However, it works slightly different from the original Laser mode. Now the scanner will be expecting barcodes as long as it is seated in the Auto-Sense Stand, as shown below.
PAGE 44
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.12 NEGATIVE BARCODES Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars. You can configure the scanner to be able to read negative barcodes.
PAGE 45
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.13 EFFECTIVE DECODING AREA By default, the effective decoding area is 100% covered by the scanned area. However, you may narrow down the decoding area to prevent reading the wrong barcode when a number of barcodes are printed closely. The scanner will only read barcodes that appear in the effective decoding area. Read the barcode “Centering On” and specify the percentage to narrow down the decoding area.

Chapter 4 Defining Output Format 4.6 MULTI-BARCODE EDITOR The Multi-Barcode Editor allows you to decide the output sequence of a concatenation of barcodes. Up to five barcodes can be specified. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode. Note: The Multi-Barcode Editor has nothing to do with Multi-Barcode Mode. The barcodes that are found meeting the specified criteria below will be arranged in the desired sequence.
PAGE 130
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 4.6.1 EDIT A CONCATENATION OF BARCODES Edit Output Sequence 1) Read the barcode above to start editing a concatenation of barcodes. 2) Code Type setting – read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 158 for Code Type of the (first) barcode. For example, read “4” and “1” for Code 39.
PAGE 131
Chapter 4 Defining Output Format 4.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied. When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted.
PAGE 132
1500/1502 Barcode Scanner User Guide 4.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 character, but it will remove every matching character encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met. For example, if it is configured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off.
