GUIDE
for
BARCODE
SCANNERS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This is a general guide for varies scanners, and
not all functions will perform in every scanners.
Other than specified in this guide, for any special
functions or specifications, please contact your
dealer for details.
Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our
product information; however, we accept no
responsibility for errors or omissions including, but
not limited to, the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
We shall not be liable for errors contained herein
or for incidental consequential damages in
connection with the furnishing, performance, or
use of this material.
Specification or version may be subject to change
without notice. The actual specification and version
are based on the product delivered.
Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can
configure the series scanners. This allows decoding
options and interface protocols to be tailored to a
specific application. The configuration is stored in
non-volatile memory and will not be lost by removing
power from the scanner.
The scanner must be properly powered before
programming. For RS-232C type scanners, an external
power adapter must be used to supply DC power to the
scanner. If a keyboard emulation type scanner is used
with an IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2 or any fully compatible
computers, power will be drawn from the keyboard p ort.
No external power adapter is required. If keyboard
emulation type scanner is used with any other non IBM
PC compatible computers, an external power adapter
may be needed.
During the programming mode, the laser scanner will
acknowledge a good and valid reading with a short beep.
It will give long beeps for either an invalid or bad
reading.
2. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Programmable options are divided into four groups.
The first group includes the options that show the
general behavior of the laser scanner. The second
group of options governs the operation of RS-232C type
serial ports. The third group selects the keyboard type
that the keyboard emulation type will be emulated. The
last group sets the decoding parameters for each
barcode symbology.

3. DEFAULT PARAMETERS
This table gives the default settings of all the
programmable parameters. The default settings will be
restored whenever the "Reset" programming label is
scanned and the laser scanner is in programming mode.

SCANNING MODE SELECTION (for laser scanner)
For series laser scanners, there are 3 scanning modes to suit
your application requirements.
Trigger Mode
Pulse Mode
SCANNING MODE SELECTION (For CCD scanner)
The scanner becomes inactive
as soon as the data is
transmitted. It must be
triggered to become active
again.
The scanner will light up when
press the pulse mode trigger
switch once. And, the
scanner will turn off for next
pressing.
The scanner becomes inactive as
soon as the data is transmitted. It
must be triggered to become
active again.
In auto scan mode, the scanner is
still active after the data is
transmitted, but the successive
transmission of the same bar code
is not allowed when the trigger
switch is pressed again.
This scanner will light up when
press the scanner trigger switch
once. And, the scanner will turn
off for next pressing.
This mode is similar to Auto scan
mode, but double reading for the
same barcode is prohibited if the
scanner switch is pressed.

MESSAGE/BLOCK MODE SELECTION
This option allows you to treat scanned data as either an
independent message or a block message. In the
message mode, the data scanned will be transmitted
immediately. In block mode, the data scanned will be
appended to the message buffer if the scanner is
programmed in block mode. A block of message will
only be transmitted after a “Send” command is entered.
This mode is only available when the scanner is working
with code 39 labels. You are free to choose any
character as the “ Send” command.

BARCODE IDENTIFIER CODE SELECTION
The series of scanners can transmit max.2-digit barcode
identifier code for different types of barcodes. Use the
labels to choose transmit or not transmit predefined
barcode identifier code (ID’s are listed on page 2):
1. Select either header or trailer
you are going to program by
scanning the corresponding
label
2. Scan the character(s) you want
from the enclosed ASCII table to
set as header or trailer (be sure
to enable full ASCII code 39
option before you start).
3. Read the “Set” label to set your
choice into memory.

BARCODE IDENTIFIER CODE SETTING
Each of the series type scanners can set max.2 digits as
barcode identifier code according to different barcode.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Scan “Start of configuration” label
2. Scan “Barcode identifier setting code” label.
3. Scan the new code mark from ASCII table (max. two
digits). For example, if one “AB” want for code mark
then scan “A” and “B”.
4. Scan “Set” label.
5. Scan “ End of configuration” label.
