CREATE ONE-SCAN SETUP BARCODES

The fact is most of the scanner parameters require only one read for setting new values. To facilitate configuring the scann er, you may create One-Scan setup barcodes for use.

The requirements of a One-Scan setup barcode are:

 a prefix of the “#@” characters  the six digits of command parameters  a suffix of the “#”character

For example, the scanner needs the reading of three setup barcodes for the command parameter “109952” to take effect:

1.1.2 AUTO POWER OFF & POWER-SAVING

The scanner will stay active at power-on, which may be followed by a transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) to auto shutdown (Auto Power Off).

 Power-Saving (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to stand by at full-speed

for 2 minutes before it enters low-speed mode. If this feature is not desired, set it to

 Auto Power Off (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to automatically shut

down after 10 minutes. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0.

Note: 1. The Power-Saving setting will still take effect once a connection has been

established successfully, via Bluetooth® HID or SPP. 2. There will be a time delay to reactivate 2D scan engine when scanner comes back from power off mode.

Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully…

1) The scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for the following scenarios. Its CPU is running at full speed, and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio

0.5 s: 0.5 s). (a) waiting for a connection request from the host (Bluetooth (b) trying to connect to the host (Bluetooth® HID or Bluetooth® SPP Master Mode) (c) trying to connect to 3610

2) If it fails to connect within 2 minutes, the scanner will become inactive to save power for the remaining period of time (the specified value minus 2 minutes). Its CPU is running at low speed, and the LED is flashing red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).

Press the [Trigger] key to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay active again.

3) If it fails to connect again and again, and finally stays inactive until the specified time interval for Auto Power Off has elapsed, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power.

Hold down the [Power/Delete] key for 2 seconds to turn it on.

1.2 MEMORY

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

1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER

By default, the transmit buffer is enabled and ready 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 green and goes off. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if the scanner is out of range. With the 10 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full.

When transmit buffer is enabled…

If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with two short beeps, high-low tone, upon reading a barcode successfully.

When transmit buffer is full, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off. You are advised to get back into range.

When transmit buffer is disabled…

If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off. You are advised to get back into range.

1.10 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES

Select the level of reading security. For example,

 If "No Redundan cy" 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 selected, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. It has to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.

The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (0~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy selected, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes.

Note: UPC/EAN Addon 2 and Addon 5 must be enabled individually for this setting to
