Part 1 Menu barcode setting method and Initialization

1. Shifting to menu setting mode and setting completion

To change setting using the menu barcode with PA-BR-001, you need to shift from the normal reading operation status to the menu setting status. Read SET menu barcode to shift to the menu setting status. Read END to record / finish the menu setting and return to the normal reading operation status.

When reading of SET / END menu barcode and reading each menu barcode during menu setting, different than normal scan operation buzzer will sound and read (blue) LED light.

Also, reading SET and until the completion of menu setting, buzzer to state the menu setting status will sound and become the auto scanning mode which red light (illumination LED) continue to light. During this time, trigger key operation is not required.

Please do not turn off the power (disconnect the USB connection) during setting. In such case, setting is not stored, please retry setting from beginning. To turn the power off after menu setting, after sounding of reading END buzzer, wait for a moment (about 2 seconds) and turn off.

2. Reading menu barcode

The User’s menu book contains various menu barcodes. T o pr event from reading undesired barcode, menu barcode table’s setting barcode are listed with a shift to the left and right.

Referring below drawing, please adjust the distance between BARCODE SCANNER and menu barcode by using illumination LED width as a guide.

If unnecessary menu barcode is read, for example reading menu barcode to disable setting A; Please continue setting, and read the menu barcode to enable setting A. The last read setting will be reflected. In case erroneously read menu is unknown, not read END but turn off the power and restart setting. Or, after reading END, process default setting which is listed on 3. Default option. Then re-start setting from beginning.

In addition, paying attention to the following will lead to reduction of misreading.

・Covering unnecessary setting menu barcode by hands. ・Not move BARCODE SCANNERs scan window direction too much, but move entire BARCODE

SCANNER.

・Don’t apart BARCODE SCANNER and menu barcode distance too much. When taking the

distance, reading light largely move even with small move of scanner.

3. Default Option

This default option allows you to undo all previous configured options and bring the scanner's configuration back to the factory default settings. Each settings factory default settings are printed in bold.
