QUICK START
The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setu p 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 cradle by having
the scanner read cradle-related setup barcodes or using serial commands.

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.
14
Enter Setup
Quick Start
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.
The example below shows how to save your settings as “User Default” so that you may
restore user defaults at a later time:
