Chapter 1
Getting Started
The linear imager uses a 16-bit processor and enhanced image processing algorithms to attain industry-leading speeds of 450 scans per second. Depth of field performance allows scanning of a low resolution shipping label at a distance of 1.5 meters. Even poor quality bar codes are readable with this scanner. Bright environments such as direct sunlight or welllighted retail environments are not a problem; the linear imager provides accurate scans in strong ambient light up to 75,000 LUX.
The unit is built to withstand tough industrial environments with a durable rubber overmolding to protect all contact points and an IP52 protection rating. The linear imager is lightweight at 5.64 ounces (160 grams) and has an ergonomic comfort grip for ease of use.

Symbologies
Symbologies
In addition to standard linear bar code symbologies, the PDF model of the linear imager also reads 2-Dimensional stacked bar code symbologies such as PDF417, Micro PDF 417 and EAN UCC Composite.
For more information plus a complete listing of available symbology types, turn to the Symbologies chapter of this manual.
Linear Imager Settings
The linear imager is factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
In the programming chapters, factory default settings are indicated with bold text and yellow highlighting. These defaults represent the settings for the RS-232 standard interface. For a listing of defaults for other interfaces, reference Chapter D, Default Settings, in the section titled Interface Default Exceptions.
Return to Factory Defaults
Scan the two bar codes below to reset the imager (handheld) and Base Station to factory settings. These bar codes can be used to return the imager to a “known” working state when the present programming status is not known, faulty, or suspect.

Bluetooth Models
The following features and descriptions apply only to Bluetooth (BT) models of the imager.
Linking an Imager with a Base Station
Follow these instructions to link the two devices:
1.Connect power to the Base Station. The radio LED (marked with an antenna symbol) will blink amber and the Base Station will beep.
2.To ensure the Base Station is unlinked from any other imagers, press the button located on its bottom side for three seconds.
3.Place the imager in the Base Station for one minute to get a small charge in the battery.
4.Read the label on the Base Station with the imager. The imager will sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber.
5.Replace the imager in the Base Station to continue the charge.
Once an imager is linked to a Base Station, they will remain linked until specific action is taken to unlink them (see Unlinking). They will remain linked if the Base Station is unplugged, if the battery is removed from the imager or if the entire charge is used up, and if the imager is taken out of range of the Base Station. Under normal operation, scanning of the link label will only be required once in the life of the product.

Unlinking
There are three ways to unlink an imager from a Base Station:
Unlink and Sleep
1.Scan the “Unlink and Sleep” bar code — Reading the unlink bar code above while the imager is in range of the Base Station will break the link between the two devices and allow another imager to link to the Base Station. It will also place the imager in Sleep Mode. If the bar code is read when the imager is out of range of its linked Base Station, the imager will unlink, but the Base Station will remain linked to the imager and will not allow another imager to be linked to it until the unlink button is pressed, the original imager is brought in range, linked, and then unlinked again.
2.Push the button on the bottom of the Base Station — Pushing the button on the Base Station while the imager is in range will break the link between the devices. If the button is pushed while the imager is out of range, the Base Station will unlink and make itself available to other imagers. The imager will not automatically break its link with the Base Station, but can be linked to any other Base Station by reading its link label .
3.Scan the link label on an alternate Base Station — Scanning the link label on a Base Station with an imager that is linked with another Base Station will drop the link between the original pair and establish a link between the imager and the new Base Station. If the new link is performed within range of the old Base Station, it is free to establish a link to the next imager that reads its link label. If it is done outside the range of the old Base Station, it retains its old link and will not allow a new imager to link to it until its unlink button is pressed.

Battery Charging
Battery Charging
The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A fully charged battery will provide up to 12,000 scans over a 12 hour period. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configuration of the how the imager is configured via the programable features in this manual; in particular, Deep Sleep Mode and Leash Alarm settings can impact battery life.
When the imager is placed in the Base Station, the battery will automatically charge. While charging is taking place, the charging LED (marked with a battery symbol) will blink green. When the battery is fully charged, the charging LED will stay on a solid green.
If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the charging circuit or with a failure of the battery, the charging LED will flash red. When this happens, the battery should be replaced
Paging the Imager
If the imager is misplaced in the area around the Base Station, it can be located by momentarily pressing the button on the bottom of the Base Station. When the button is momentarily pressed, a message is sent to the imager instructing it to sound a series of six short beeps. If the imager is out of range of the Base Station or in Deep Sleep Mode, paging will not work.

Scanning/Imaging Features
Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the imager. Selections are:
•Good read off — The trigger must be pressed to activate scanning. The light source stops scanning when there is a successful read or no bar code is decoded after the ”Imager Timeout” has elapsed.
•Momentary — The trigger acts as a switch. Pressing the trigger activates scanning; releasing it stops scanning.
•Alternate — The trigger acts as a toggle switch. Pressing the trigger activates scanning; pressing it a second time stops scanning
•Timeout off — The trigger must be pressed to activate scanning, The imager stops scanning if no barcode is decoded within the time duration set for the ”Imager Timeout” period.
•Stand Mode — The imager continuously reads regardless of whether the trigger is pressed or ”Imager Timeout” has elapsed.
