Parts of the scanner Figure 1 ① LED ② Exit window ③ Trigger ④ Cable interface port ⑤ Release-hole of the cable ⑥ Beeper Figure 2 Remove the interface cable: 1. Find the release-hole. 2. Insert a thin wire into the hole and pull out the cable gently.
Introduction to installation Note: If any of the below operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and check the scanner for any improper connections. Go through all steps again. Installation - keyboard wedge 1. Switch off the host and unplug the keyboard connector. 2. Attach the modular connector of the Y-cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. 3. Connect the round male DIN host connector of the Y-cable to the keyboard port on the host device. 4.
Installation - USB The scanner attaches directly to a USB host, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required. 1. Refer to Figure 5, connect the USB interface cable to the bottom of the scanner. 2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host, or an available port of the terminal. 3. Windows will automatically detect the USB device.
Programming instruction Important notes: 1. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness. LED will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed. 2. After each successful programming, LED will go off and the scanner will beep twice. 3. Throughout the programming bar code menus, the factory default settings are indicated with asterisks (*).
Operate the scanner by receiving command via UART Note: 1- The information in this chapter is provided for the scanner with RS232 cable or USB cable. 2- If the scanner is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual COM”. Please refer to the chapter of “USB interface”. 3- Please read the chapter of “Scanning & some global settings” about the setting of Scanning mode in details.
Interface selection This scanner supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS-232 serial wedge, and USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable provided by the manufacturer will work for a specific interface. Interface selection: Auto detection- By setting this function, the scanner will automatically detect the keyboard wedge, RS-232 or USB interface for user. Multiple-scan setting Option bar code Option Alpha.
Keyboard wedge Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts. Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or scanner, with the period between 60us to 100us.

Multiple-scan setting Option bar code Option Alpha.
RS-232 interface Flow control: None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software handshaking protocol. RTS/CTS- If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout duration, the scanner will issue an error indication.
Multiple-scan setting Option bar code Option Alpha.
USB interface USB device type: HID keyboard– By setting, the scanner is used as a USB HID keyboard emulation device. The keyboard layout setting follows the setting of keyboard layout in the chapter of Keyboard wedge. USB virtual COM– By setting, the scanner is used as a USB virtual COM emulation device. A software driver is required to install on the connected PC. The information can be found in the associated CD. Note: when changing USB Device Types, the scanner automatically restarts.

Hand-held scan & some global settings Scanning mode: Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to activate scanning and release button to stop scanning.
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH. Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”. Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
Multiple-scan setting Option bar code Global G1-G6 string selection Option Alpha.
Indication Power on alert: After power-on the scanner will generate an alert signal to indicate a successful self-test. LED indication: After each successful reading, the LED above the scanner will light up to indicate a good barcode reading. Beeper indication: After each successful reading, the scanner will beep to indicate a good barcode reading, and its beep tone duration is adjustable. Beep tone duration: This parameter can be adjusted for a good reading upon favorite usage.
Decode illumination and decode aiming pattern Decode illumination mode: Enable illumination causes the scanner to turn on the illumination to aid decoding. Disable illumination to turn off illumination for the scanner during decoding. Better quality images could be obtained with illumination support. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.
DPM & 2D symbologies readability setting 2D symbologies read: A global setting of 2D symbologies readability. DPM format read: By setting Enable, the scanner can read 2D symbologies in DPM (Direct Park Marking) format. Some barcodes in DPM format are shown below. Decode multi-symbologies in one read: The scanner can decode multi-symbologies in one read. Vertical centering read: By setting Enable, the scanner reads only the barcode centered by the aimer in vertical direction.
