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.

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.

1.1 BATTERY

The scanner is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/700 mAh Li-ion battery, and it takes approximately 2 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power adaptor). However, the charging time may vary by working condition. For intensive data collection, you may purchase a spare battery for non-stop operation.

During normal operation, the 1166 scanner can work for over 45 hours or 32,000 scans (based on EAN-13 barcodes), and the 1266 scanner can work for over 36 hours or 26,000 scans (based on EAN-13 barcodes).

Note: The scanner can be configured to save battery power. Refer to settings of “

Power Off & Power-Saving” and “Sniff Mode”.

Auto

1.1.1 HOW TO OPERATE THE SCANNER

1.1.2 POWER-SAVING & RF AUTO-SHUTDOWN

There are two settings for saving battery power —

 Power-Saving: The scanner will stay active at power-on for 1 minute. When the

scanner fails to connect in the interval, it will enter power-saving mode automatically.

 RF Auto-Shutdown (1~255 min.; 0= Disable): By default, when the scanner is

connected via 3666 and found idle for 10 minutes, it will automatically stop RF connectivity. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0.

Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully…

1. The scanner will stay active for a preset period of time (1 minute) for the following scenarios. Its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 1:1).

(a) waiting for a connection request from the host (BT SPP Slave Mode)

(b) trying to connect to the host (BT HID)

2. If it fails to connect within 1 minute, the scanner will become inactive to save power, and its LED will turn off.

Press the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay active again.

Note: For scenarios (a) and (b) in step 1, on your computer you may need to search for

the scanner again.

After establishing a WPAN connection successfully…

1. Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for data transmission. Its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 1:6).

2. With the use of 3666, the scanner will automatically stop RF connectivity when it is idle for the specified time interval for RF Auto-Shutdown. You will hear three short beeps, tone descending from high to low, and its LED will turn off.

Press the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay active again.

 For BT HID or SPP, there is no implementation of RF Auto-Shutdown.

1.2 MEMORY

The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.

1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER

You may enable transmit buffer for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid red and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 4 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full.

 When out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps, tone descending

from high to low. You are advised to get back to range.

 When transmit buffer is full, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (low

tone) as a warning. You are advised to get back to range.

1.8 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES

Select the level of reading security. For example,

 If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid

and induce the "READER Event".

 If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful

decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.

It is obvious that the more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.

3.1 CONNECTING VIA 3666

By default, the interface of 3666 is set to “Keyboard Wedge”. Use the interface cable to connect the scanner via 3666 to PC. You can have up to seven scanners connected to one computer at the same time.

3.1.1 CONNECT TO 3666

You can connect any scanner to 3666 by having the scanner read the two labels at the back of 3666. The scanner will respond with one beep upon reading the first label, and two beeps (high-low tone) upon reading the second label.

 “Set Connection” label  “Serial Number” label

After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a preset period of time (1 minute) trying to connect to the 3666 base while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 1:1). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps (tone ascending from low to high), and the LED becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 1:6). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high to low).

Read the “Set Connection” label first, and then the “Serial Number” label. If the “Set Connection” label on 3666 is illegible, try this one —

5) Have the scanner read the desired interface barcode and configure its related settings

–

 “Activate Keyboard Wedge & Select Keyboard Type”

 “Activate RS-232”

6) Have the scanner read the “Update” barcode to exit the configuration mode.

7) After the scanner resumes connection with 3666, it will pass the interface-related

settings to 3666.

8) Upon receipt of the new settings, 3666 will initialize itself.

Device Name Broadcasting

The scanner can be configured to hide itself from other devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Simply disable the device name broadcasting setting so that it won’t be discovered by any other computer or PDA. However, broadcasting must be enabled for establishing an initial connection with the scanner. For example, you can disable device name broadcasting after successfully connecting the scanner to WorkStation1. Such connection will be maintained automatically unless the scanner is removed from the paired device list (called unpairing) by WorkStation1 or any changes made to authentication and the PIN code. If you want WorkStation2 to connect to the scanner, you will have to enable device name broadcasting first.

Enable Authentication with Preset PIN

Have the scanner read the “Use preset PIN” barcode, and change the preset PIN if necessary. This means you will have to enter exactly the same string for your computer or PDA to connect to the scanner. If the PIN or passkey is incorrect, any connection attempt will be turned down by the scanner. See step 8 in
