Preface The ORION is a new presentation laser scanner which allows hands free bar code scanning, based on proven Scantech-ID technologies which form the basis of all our omni-directional scanners. Bar code labels are read by presenting the labels towards the scanner. Scanning labels with the ORION hardly requires any arm movement. As a result only little free space on the counter top is necessary. The ORION can either be fixed on a counter surface or on a flexible stand.

Chapter 2 Installing the ORION O-3050
Installing the ORION O-3050 14 Depending on the way you want to use the ORION O-3050, the scanner can be installed in two different ways: fixed on a counter surface or on a flexible stand. Instructions for installation on a counter surface are given in Section 2.1. Instructions for installation on the flexible stand are given in Section 2.2. Due to many POS systems on the market, a large number of communication cables are available.
Installing the ORION O-3050 15 Use the illustration below to see where to connect your cable(s) to the scanner. Before closing the back cover later on (see mounting instructions in chapter 2.3 and 2.4) guide the cables through the scanner as shown in the illustration below. Data port 1. Connect the communication cable to this port if the host system features the RS232C, KBWedge, or USB interface.
Installing the ORION O-3050 16 2.2 INTERFACE SELECTION ORION O-3050 allows you to connect your host system using four different interface cables: RS232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, and Powered USB. On powering up, the scanner senses the type of the interface used and switches to the appropriate protocol.
Installing the ORION O-3050 2.3 17 INSTALLING THE SCANNER ON A COUNTER SURFACE To install the scanner without the flexible scanner stand, follow the instructions below. 1. Remove the two rubber feet from the back cover. Lead the communication cable and power supply cable through the slit. Fasten the back cover to the surface with two screws as illustrated in the figure. NOTE You can use the back cover as a template to mark the places for the mounting holes at the counter surface and drill two holes.
18 Installing the ORION O-3050 3. Plug the remote ends of all cables into the appropriate connections of your host POS-system. 4. If you are using an external power supply, power on the scanner by plugging the power supply into an AC power outlet. Switch on the host system. IMPORTANT To activate USB or KBW interface, scan the following codes from the Configuration Guide: 1. Open the scanner Programming Mode by scanning code 1.1. 2. Return to factory default settings by scanning code 1.3.
Installing the ORION O-3050 2.4 19 INSTALLING THE SCANNER WITH THE COUNTER STAND To install the scanner with the light stand, follow the instructions below: 1. Fix the stand to the desired place using screws and the screw holes on the stand. 2. Get all cables connected. 3. Position the scanner into the stand as indicated in the figure below. 4. Turn on the host system. Once the scanner is installed, you can start scanning bar code labels.
20 Installing the ORION O-3050 2. Place the bottom plate on the counter and mark the places for the mounting holes on the counter top and mark the hole to lead the cables through. 3. Drill the mounting holes and the lead-through hole. NOTE If you prefer not to drill in your counter, you can mount the stand using the provided double-sided tape and have the cables leave the foot at the rear, just above the circular basis. 4.
Installing the ORION O-3050 21 6. Click the stand on the bottom plate. 7. Connect the cables to the scanner. Refer (for the data cable in particular) to chapter 2.1 for the correct connections. 8. Place the scanner onto the flexible stand and rotate the scanner as indicated in the figure. Make sure that connectors and cables are properly placed to allow easy attachment. Press the scanner until a "click" is heard. 9. Click the cover disk on the foot of the stand. 10.

Appendices C 29 TROUBLESHOOTING This section contains information on solving problems you may encounter when using the scanner. If troubles occur, take a moment to read the information in this section. However, before referring to the diagnostic tips make sure that the scanner is installed as described in Chapter 2 and that all cables are properly connected. Problem The scanner is on but a bar code cannot be read. The LED is red. Diagnostic Tips The scanner window is dirty.
30 Problem The LED is orange. The LED is blinking orange. The LED remains green A bar code is read by the scanner but not accepted by the host system. Appendices Diagnostic Tips The laser is not functioning. The laser is defective. Contact your supplier. The ambient temperature is too high. Make sure the scanner has enough air ventilation and is not placed in direct sunlight. The scanner is continuously seeing a bar code.
Appendices Problem USB is not working 31 Diagnostic Tips Unless you use USB plus power, you need a separate power connection to the scanner like the external power supply. Restart the scanner by temporarily disconnecting the power. This may help the POS system to detect the scanner. The very first time the PC might install some general drivers, possibly from your computer setup CD. In case of KB emulation you can select various ‘keyboard languages’ or the universal ‘Alt-input-method’.
