QUICK START

The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in this manual or via the ScanManager software.

This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.

Configuration Mode

1. Install the battery to the scanner, and the scanner will turn on automatically. It will respond

with a long beep and its LED will come on and off shortly.

2. Have the scanner read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED

indicator will become solid blue after reading the barcode.

3. Have the scanner read more setup barcodes… Most of the setup barcodes are normal. The

scanner will respond with two beeps (high-low tone). For special setup barcodes, it requires reading more than one setup barcode to complete the setting.

4. Have the scanner read the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its

LED indicator will become solid blue after reading the barcode.

5. The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will

respond with a long beep and its LED will come on and off shortly.

Note: Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands for how to configure the 3666 base by

having the scanner read 3666-related setup barcodes or using serial commands.

Note: If RS-232 or BT SPP is selected for output interface, the host can directly send

serial commands to configure the scanner. For example, run HyperTerminal.exe and type the 4-digit command located under each setup barcode. Refer to

Appendix II Host Serial Commands.

Enter Setup

Quick Start

ENTER CONFIGURATION MODE

For the scanner to enter the configuration mode, you must have it read the "Enter Setup" barcode, which can be located at the bottom of almost every even page of this manual.

 The scanner will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will become solid blue

after reading the barcode.

Enter Setup

For configuring scanner parameters, see “Read a Setup Barcode” below.

EXIT CONFIGURATION MODE

For the scanner to save settings and exit the configuration mode, you must have it read the “Update” barcode, which can be located at the bottom of almost every odd page of this manual. If you want to exit the configuration mode without saving any changes, have the scanner read the “Abort” barcode instead.

 Just like reading the “Enter Setup” barcode, the scanner will respond with six beeps

and its LED indicator will go off after reading the barcode. Wait for a few seconds for the scanner to restart itself.

RESTORE SYSTEM DEFAULTS

For the scanner to restore the factory defaults, you must have it read the “Restore System Defaults” barcode. This is a normal setup barcode, and the scanner will respond with two beeps (high-low tone).

 After reading the “Update” barcode, all the parameters of the scanner will return to

their default values.

CONFIGURE PARAMETERS

For most of the scanner parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values. The scanner will respond with two beeps (high-low tone) when each parameter is set successfully.

But for a number of special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep to indicate it needs to read more setup barcodes. These special parameters may require reading one or more setup barcodes, such as

 Numeric barcodes, say, for keyboard type, inter-character delay, length qualification  Hexadecimal barcodes, say, for character strings as prefix, suffix, etc.  When “BT HID”, “USB HID” or “Keyboard Wedge” is configured for interface, Key

Type and Key Status will then become applicable. You may decide whether or not to change key status when “Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.

To complete the configuration of these special parameters, it requires reading the “Validate” barcode, and the scanner will respond with two beeps (high-low tone) to indicate the input values are validated.
