The QuickScan QM21X1 readers have enhanced optics with improved motion tolerance allowing codes placed on fast moving objects to be easily and quickly captured, creating the ideal reader for tasks requiring high throughput like those found in retail and light industrial environments.
Setting Up the Reader Locking the Reader to the Base The Base Station provides a locking mechanism to ensure electrical contact between Reader and Base, in case of inadvertent movements. Lock lever To Lock the Reader in the Base 1. Insert the Reader into the Base. The lock lever rests in its natural disengaged position toward the bottom of the Base. Figure 1.
Connecting the Base Station 2. Engage the locking mechanism by pushing up the lever as far as it will go. Figure 2. Lever in locked position NOTE it is good practice to put the scanner in the locked condition at the end of the working shift, or when not in use for an extended period of time. This will ensure that the scanner is fully seated for complete battery recharge. Connecting the Base Station Figure 3 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host device.
Connecting the Base Station Base Station Connection and Routing 1. Remove the rubber Cable Stopper from the bottom of the Base Station. 2. Securely plug the Power Cable (if used) and Interface (I/F) Cable connectors into their respective ports in the underside of the Base Station. Power Cable I/F Cable Cable Stopper 3. After the cables are plugged in, reinsert the rubber Cable Stopper. Cable Stopper reinserted 4. 4 Connect the Base Station power adapter to an AC wall outlet.
Connecting the Base Station Figure 3. Connecting the Base Station Wall plug Connector I/F Cable AC/DC Adapter Base Station DC Power Cord Host Connection — Verify before connection that the reader’s cable type is compatible with your host equipment. Most connections plug directly into the host device as shown in Figure 4.
Connecting the Base Station System and Network Layout Typical Setup with Cradle and Host Figure 5. Reader Layout Reader Host Base Station Power Supply Using the BC20XX™ Radio Base Radio Base LEDs LEDs on the QuickScan Base provide information about the Base as well as battery charging status, as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6.
Connecting the Base Station Table 1. Radio Base LEDs LED STATUS Power on / Data Yellow On = Base is powered Yellow Blinking = Base receives data and commands from the Host or the Reader. Charging Red On = the Battery is charging. Charge completed Green On = the Battery is completely charged. Charging + Charge completed Red and Green Blinking together = the Reader is not correctly placed onto the Base.
Connecting the Base Station Replacing the Battery Pack 1. Using a coin or screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw located on the bottom of the scanner handle until the battery pack is disengaged. The battery pack will rise slightly in the rear, pushed by the contact springs. 2. Extract the battery pack by slightly rotating the pack and pulling away from the reader. To mount the new battery pack reverse the process: 8 1. Insert the top of the new pack inside the reader’s handle. 2.
Using the Quickscan™ QM21X1 Using the Quickscan™ QM21X1 Bar Code Reading Point the reader at the target and pull the trigger to enable the illuminator (red beam) to decode the bar code label. The illuminator will remain on until the symbol is decoded. When scanning a bar code label, you can adjust the distance or angle to the label to help facilitate reading.
Linking the Reader Linking the Reader Link Datalogic RF Devices to Base For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the base. To link the handheld and the base, either press the trigger to wake it, or simply mount into the base to wake up for operation. If the reader was previously linked to another base, you must first scan the Unlink bar code before re-linking to the new base.
Programming Using Programming Bar Codes This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the "Standard Product Default Settings" on page 11, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them.
Selecting the Base Interface Type Selecting the Base Interface Type Upon completing the physical connection between the base and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection (below) for information and programming for the interface type the base is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB) and scan the appropriate bar code to select your system’s correct interface type.

Scan Modes Scan Modes The imager can operate in one of several scanning modes. Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following occurs: • a programmable duration1 has elapsed • a label has been read • the trigger is released This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation. Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released or a programmable duration1 has elapsed.

LED and Beeper Indications LED and Beeper Indications The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The following tables list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.
LED and Beeper Indications Indication Description LED Upon successful read of a label, the Green Spota software shall turn flashes the green spot on N/A momentarily for the time specified by the configured value. a Beeper N/A Except when in sleep mode or when a Good Read LED Duration other than 00 is selected Programming Mode - The following indications ONLY occur when the reader is in Programming Mode.
Error Codes Error Codes Upon startup, if the reader sounds a long tone, this means the reader has not passed its automatic Selftest and has entered FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) isolation mode. If the reader is reset, the sequence will be repeated. The following table describes the LED flashes/beep codes associated with an error found.
