Preface Please READ through this manual carefully. It will enable you to operate your scanner correctly. After you have finished reading this manual, keep it handy for speedy reference. Note: Do not use this scanner in an environment with electrical noise that can trigger malfunction. Note: Specifications described in this manual are supported by AT10Q Firmware version 1.01 or later. Note: The shape of the projected area marker differs according to the original target market.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Be sure to observe all these safety precautions. Please READ through these instructions carefully. They will enable you to use the scanner correctly. Always keep this manual nearby for speedy reference. Strict observance of these warnings and cautions is a MUST for preventing accidents that could result in bodily injury and substantial property damage. Make sure you fully understand all definitions of these terms and symbols given below before you proceed to the text itself.
To System Designers: • When introducing the scanner in those systems that could affect human lives (e.g., medicines management system), develop applications carefully through redundancy and safety design which avoids the feasibility of affecting human lives even if a data error occurs. • The scanner uses a laser light for indicating the scanning range. The intensity of laser light might be too low to inflict bodily injury. However, do not look into the laser beam.
• Never disassemble or modify the scanner; doing so could result in an accident such as break or fire. Never disassemble Doing so could result in a fire or electrical shock. • Do not put the scanner on an unstable or inclined plane. The scanner may drop, creating injuries. • Never put the scanner in places where there are excessively high temperatures, such as inside closed-up automobiles, or in places exposed to direct sunlight. Doing so could affect the housing or parts, resulting in a fire.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter from the wall socket, hold the AC adapter body not the power cable. The power cable may be broken, resulting in a burnt AC adapter, electrical shock, or fire. • If the interface cable is damaged (e.g., exposed or broken lead wires), stop using it and contact your nearest dealer. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electrical shock. • During electrical storm activity, always unplug the AC adapter from the wall socket.
Care and Maintenance Dust or dirt accumulating on the clear plate of the code reading window will affect reading performance. If you use the scanner in dusty areas, therefore, periodically check the clear plate and clean it if dusty. • To clean the plate, first blow the dust away with an airbrush. Then wipe the plate with a cotton swab or the similar soft one gently. • If sand or hard particles have accumulated, never rub the plate; doing so will scratch or damage it.

Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the RS-232C or USB-COM interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby. (Refer to Section 6.2.
6.2 Software Control You can control the scanner by sending scanning control commands from the host computer via the RS-232C or USB-COM interface, instead of pressing the trigger switch. Scanning control commands include R, READON, LON, Z, READOFF and LOFF and are restricted by the trigger switch operating modes, as listed below.
6.4 Scanning on the Hands-free Stand Putting the scanner on the hands-free stand (shown below) switches the scanner to the auto sensing mode automatically and temporarily, without selecting the auto sensing mode using the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The automatic switching function can be disabled with the configuration software.
Chapter 7 7.1 Scanning Functions Data Verification Mode The data verification mode verifies the code data read against the master data stored in the scanner and reports the match status with data output. Data verification read is available in two types--"n-point verification" and "2-point verification," which can be selected with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). Selecting the n-point verification requires registering master data only one time for 1:n verification.
2-point verification Scan master registration 1) Switch the scanner to the data verification mode and select the RS-232C or USB-COM interface. The indicator LED lights in green. 2) Use the scanner to scan a master code to be registered. (The scanner operates in the trigger switch operating mode currently set.) After the registration of master data, the indicator LED turns blue and then goes OFF. 3) Use the scanner to scan a target code.
7.1.2 Specifying a verification object You can specify two types of verification objects--data string and data block. For data string verification, specify the verification start position and the number of characters to be verified. For data block verification, specify one of the data blocks delimited by commas in the CSV format.
7.1.3 Verification result output (1) Report of match/mismatch status You can select any of the following report types using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). Selecting "Disable transmission" reports nothing. Setting 1 If there is a match: If there is a mismatch: Disable transmission. Disable transmission. 2 Enable code data transmission. Enable code data transmission. 3 Enable OK transmission. Enable NG transmission.
7.2 Editing Data You can edit and output code data read, in any of the four data edit modes--"data extraction mode," "data substitution mode," "data blocksorting mode" and "ADF script mode." These data edit modes can be selected with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The default is "No editing.
Extraction start and end positions "Extraction start position" Head position "Extraction end position" nth position Tail position nth position Tail position By n positions from the start position nth position The n can be 1 through 9999. Note that if the extraction start position is specified as nth position, the extraction end position should be equal to or greater than the extraction start position. Note: The number of characters for Code 39 symbols should be specified including start and stop codes.
7.2.1.2 Extracting data blocks If data read is in the comma-delimited CSV format, the scanner extracts data blocks specified by the data block numbers from a code specified by the "Code type" and then outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 9, Section 9.4). The extraction conditions and data bock numbers are listed below.
Example Code read: QR Code, Data: (See the table below.
7.2.1.3 Extracting AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed strings If the scanner reads any of EAN-128 (GS1-128), RSS (GS1 DataBar), and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (excluding linear components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol), it edits the data according to AIs and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 9, Section 9.4). The "AI-prefixed string" extraction is available in two modes--AI-delimited mode and AI parenthesizing mode.
Example Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810(17)040208(17)040305 Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Scanner ID: Disable, Code ID mark: Disable, Transmission of the number of digits: Disable, Prefix/Suffix: None, BCC: Disable Extraction conditions "Data transfer regardless of error result": Prohibit "Data transfer regardless of error result": Permit AIs specified 01,11,17 Delimiter Comma 17,11 Output data [STX]94901234567894,030808,040208[ETX] [STX]040208,030808[ETX] 17,17 [STX]040208,040305[E
(2) AI parenthesizing mode In this mode, the scanner parenthesizes AIs contained in data read and outputs the edited data according to the extraction conditions. Extraction conditions Extraction conditions Choices "Data transfer regardless of error result" Permit/Prohibit If the scanner fails to extract an AI-prefixed element string when the "Data transfer regardless of error result" is permitted, it outputs the data read as is without editing.
