1.2 Introduction
The Decoder is an advanced and versatile
decoding facility for barcoding systems .It works
with variety of bar code types, reading devices,
and computer interfaces. It discriminates about
twenty different symbologies automatically.
This menu provide an easy way to config the
decoding options and interface selections by
scanning bar codes listed in the menu.

1.4 Installation
Unpacking –
Remove the scanner from its packing and check it
for damage. If the scanner was defected in transit,
please contact your vendor immediately. Be sure
that you keep the packing with all accessories
contains in the package for your returning of
service.
Connecting the scanner –
Keyboard wedge/RS-232C/USB:
Connect the 10-pins RS-45 male connector into
the bottom of the scanner and you will hear a
“click” when the connection is made.
4
Power supply for RS-232C scanner–
There are 3 ways to supplying the power, use external +5V power supply, use optional power cable
(KBDC) which taking the power from KB wedge or
if the host supports +5V power from pin 9.
Installing the scanner to the Host System –
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the power if needed.
3. Connect to the proper port on the host system.
4. Turn on the host system.
Switching cable –
Before removing the cable from the scanner, it is
recommended that the power on the host system
is off and the power supply has been disconnected
from unit.
1. Find the small “Pin-hole” on the bottom of the
unit.
2. Use a bended regular paperclip and insert the
tip into the hole.
3. You will head a “click”, then gentle on the strainrelief of the cable and it will slide out of the
scanner.

2.2 Loop of Programming
The philosophy of programming parameters has been
shown on the flow chart of 2.1. Basically user should
1. Scan Start of Configuration.
2. Scan all necessary labels for parameters that meet
applications.
3. Scan End of Configuration to end the
programming.
4. To permanently save the settings you
programmed, just scan label for Save Parameters.
5. To go back to the Default Settings, just scan label
for Set All Defaults.
2.3 Factory Default Settings
The factory default settings are shown with < > and
bold in the following sections. You can make your
own settings by following the procedures in this
manual. If you want to save the settings permanently,
you should scan the label of "Save Parameters" in
chapter 2.4, otherwise the settings will not be saved
after the decoder power is off, and all settings will go
back to previous settings.
By scanning "Set All Default" label, the settings will
go back to the factory default settings.
