Quick Start Guide for the Cipher 1560/62 BT Portable

All 1560/62 BT CCD scanners supplied by Dataman Barcode Systems have already been

tested and configured to communicate with the accompanying Cipher 3656 USB

communications stand. This means the 1560/62 BT DOES NOT require any further initial

programming and can be used immediately, these configuration instructions are for reference

purposes.

The A4 sheets of command and control bar codes that accompany these instructions should

be studied and will be required during the batch data download operations, we recommend

that copies are made and laminated to provide greater durability, the originals filed for

reference. The Bar-Key.exe command charts can to be folded and laminated as A5.

Setting Up 3656:- Capable of charging 1560/62, the 3656 stand is specifically designed for

the scanner to communicate with a host computer wirelessly, the connection between the

scanners and the 3656 is made easy and reliable. The 3656 stand is also an Auto-Sense

stand when used with the 1560 scanner set to Auto-Sense mode. (Not available with 1562).

Two LED indicators are provided for communications status and battery charging status.

POWER INDICATOR LED MEANING

Red solid Power ON.

----- Power OFF.

COMMUNICATION INDICATOR LED MEANING

for pressing [Num Lock] or [Caps Lock] 5 times via

keyboard.

Blue flashing Wait for connection request from the scanner (slow

flash rate at 0.5Hz).

Blue flashing Connected with the scanner (fast flash rate at 1.0Hz).

Red solid, Blue flashing Failed to send data to host via USB virtual COM (fast

flash rate at 1.0Hz).

With the use of a Phillips head

screwdriver undo countersunk

head screws and temporarily

remove steel H.D. base plate to

gain access.

CONNECTION WITH CIPHER 3656 USB BT COMMUNCATION STAND Note: The Cipher 3656 USB Bluetooth communication stand is connected to a vacant USB port on the computer and sends the bar code data received from the 1560/62 directly to the computer’s keyboard buffer so it simply appears as if it was typed from the keyboard. The Cipher 1560/62 BT will require the supplied Li-Ion battery pack to be fitted. If you have not already done so, please undertake the procedures described as follows. 1. 2. 3.

Note:1. 2. To turn OFF the scanner, remove the battery For shipping and storage purposes save the scanner and battery separately, this will keep the battery in good condition. Remove the battery if the 3656 USB cable is disconnected from the computer for any extended period of time. When the battery charge becomes low the scanner will be unable to emit the scan beam and its power-on beep will sound different to normal. 3.

Second, let's review how to deal with worn, damaged or covered bar codes: Many times, the bar code may be ripped, faded of poor quality or has been covered with a clear protective overlay. If a bar code does not immediately scan then slowly move the scan beam from the top of the bar code to the bottom.

1560/62 SCANNER LED INDICATOR The triple-colour LED on top of the scanner is used to provide user feedback. For example, the LED becomes solid red and goes off quickly when powering on or running out of transmit buffer. The difference between the above two examples can be determined by the beeps – a long beep of high tone indicates powering on and a long beep of low tone indicates the transmit buffer has become full. SCANNER LED INDICATOR MEANING Red flashing. Charging (On/Off ratio 0.5s: 0.5s).
PAGE 6
BEEPER The scanner has a buzzer to provide user feedback in various operating conditions. BEEPING MEANING One long beep, high tone. Power on, with red LED on and off quickly. One short beep, high tone. Good read, with green LED on and off quickly. • Programmable, default to 4 kHz Six short beeps • Enter configuration mode, with red LED flashing. • • Exit configuration mode High – low tone repeats three times. Two short beeps, low - high tone. Setup label read successfully.

AUTO POWER OFF By default the Cipher 1560/62 BT is set to automatically power off after 10 minutes of nonuse, this feature is intended to preserve battery life. In cases where this time out period needs to be changed or is not desired it can be user programmed to another time period or disabled altogether. The rapidly flashing blue light on the 3656 Bluetooth communication stand indicates an active bluetooth communications link with the 1560/62 BT.

OPERATING THE 1560/62 BT IN REMOTE COLLECTION (BATCH) MODE. While the 1560/62 BT can be conveniently used as a wirelessly linked bar code scanner, the real power and benefit of the 1560/62 BT portable comes from its ability to be used remotely to collect asset and stock data.
PAGE 9
Inter record download delay:Before undertaking any data downloading activity the first bar code command to be sent should be the inter record download delay instruction. This command will cause the 1560/62 BT to pause a commanded time between each set of data (bar code) downloaded and hence give time for the receiving program to process the data. In order to send this instruction, scan the command bar code “Begin Instruction Mode” then the command bar code for the desired delay period (0.
PAGE 10
Clear data memory:After the data has been successfully downloaded the data in memory can be cleared if needed and the unit again taken remotely to collect more data. See command bar codes 1, 4, 5, 6 highlighted right. This action of data collection, data downloading and data clearing can be repeated as often as required until the asset recording or stocktaking process is completed.
