QUICK START
The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in
this manual or via the ScanMaster software.
This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup
barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.
Configuration Mode
1. Hold down the trigger about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond with a long beep
and its LED will come on-off shortly.
2. Have the scanner read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED
indicator will become flashing red 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 (low-high 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 flashing red 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-off shortly.
Note: Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands for how to configure the 3656 stand
by having the scanner read 3656-related setup barcodes or using serial
commands.

Working Mode
Upon powering up, the 1560P scanner will try to establish a connection with 3656 or a computer
with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Refer to Chapter 3 – Setting up a WPAN Connection for
details. The connection between the scanners and 3656 is made easy and reliable.
Note: If RS-232, USB Virtual COM 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 6-digit command located under each setup
barcode. Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands.

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 flashing red
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 become flashing red after reading the barcode. Wait for a
few seconds for the scanner to restart itself.

READ A SETUP BARCODE
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 (low-high 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 (low-high tone) to
indicate the input values are validated.
