Chapter 1 1.1.2 AUTO POWER OFF & POWER-SAVING The scanner will stay active at power-on, which may be followed by a transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) to auto shutdown (Auto Power Off). Power-Saving (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to stand by at full-speed for 2 minutes before it enters low-speed mode. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0. Auto Power Off (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to automatically shut down after 10 minutes.
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide After establishing a WPAN connection successfully… 1. Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for data transmission. Its CPU is running at full speed, and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). 2. If it is idle within 2 minutes, the scanner will become inactive to save power for the remaining period of time (the specified value minus 2 minutes).
Chapter 1 Auto Off after 0~254 min. (*10) 1) Read the barcode above to specify the time interval before the scanner automatically turns off. 2) Read the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 錯誤! 尚未定義書籤。. For example, read “1” and “5” for the scanner to automatically turn off after being idle for 15 minutes. 3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting. Note: Auto Power Off will not take effect when the scanner is in the configuration mode. Power-Saving after 0~254 min.
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.2 MEMORY The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode. 1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER By default, transmit buffer is enabled and for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly.
Chapter 1 1.2.2 MEMORY MODE The scanner keeps 256 KB flash memory for memory mode operation. When the scanner is in memory mode, it means any connection established with host is disabled. Enable *Disable Warning: No connection is allowed unless the memory mode is disabled. Memory Data Delay You may set a delay between each data record while transmitting data back to the server.
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 8 sec Send Data The 256 KB flash memory on the scanner can store up to 16,384 scans based on EAN-13 barcodes. When it is used up, the scanner will respond with two short beeps (high-low tone) as a warning. You are advised to send data to the server immediately by having the scanner read the “Send Data” barcode below. It will resume connection with host automatically.
Chapter 1 1.3 LED INDICATOR The triple-color LED on top of the scanner is used to provide user feedback. For example, the LED becomes solid red and goes off quickly upon powering on or running out of transmit buffer. You may tell the difference by the beeps – you will hear a long beep of high tone when powering on the scanner, and a long beep of low tone when the transmit buffer becomes full.

Chapter 1 1.5 SEND “NR” TO HOST The scanner can send the “NR” string to the host to notify the No Read event.
1660 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.
Chapter 1 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 0.5 sec 1 sec 2 sec 1.6.
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.3 DEFAULT 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”. *Default 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”.
Chapter 1 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. Aiming Mode Aiming Timeout You can limit the aiming time interval (1~15).
1660 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 a 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.
Chapter 1 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 – Default 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 錯誤! 尚未定義書籤。. For example, read “1” and “5” for the scanner to automatically shut down after being idle for 15 seconds.
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.
Chapter 1 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. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
1660 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.
Chapter 1 1.11 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.
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.12 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.
