Cobalto™ CO5300 Scanner

About the Scanner

The Cobalto™ scanner (reader) delivers high performance in a small, fixed scanner that can also be used as a targeted handheld scanner. Its innovative design maximizes productivity and minimizes operator stress, strain and fatigue.

The scanner guarantees an excellent value for customers looking for outstanding performance in a stylish and full-featured product. An elegant blue “Ring of Light’ encircles the reading window, which turns a bright green to visually confirm a good read.

Additionally, a high quality polyphonic speaker can be configured to provide the preferred sound or ‘jingle’ for audio confirmation of a good read.

Capacitive Touch Button

The Touch Button (also referred to as the trigger) located on the top of the scanner is actuated by the electrical impulses present in a human fingertip, and is thus a capacitive Touch Button.

Normally, the scanner operates in omnidirectional mode, simultaneously projecting 20 lines which form a scan pattern; highly useful for capturing bar codes presented from multiple directions and angles.

When the Touch Button is actuated, the scanner enters single scan line operation, allowing the scanner to more easily target and read truncated bar codes, or aim at a single label from amongst multiple bar codes as an ordinary handheld scanner would do. For example, it is recommended to use single line operation to read the programming bar codes presented in this manual.

This button can also be used to wake up the scanner when it has gone to sleep.

Bottom Button

The scanner is also equipped with a mechanical button located at the bottom side of its base. This Bottom Button s protected by a rubber seal and can perform two functions:

1. While using the Aladdin made, the Bottom Button is used to activate this function.

2. This button is also used to activate the boot loader for firmware upgrade when this request is made using the Aladdin utility. This is the button used when the Aladdin utility asks to reset the product by powering up the product while keeping the button pressed.

About this Manual

This Product Reference Guide (PRG) is provided for users seeking advanced technical information, including connection, programming, maintenance and specifications. The Quick Reference Guide (QRG) and other publications associated with this product are downloadable free of charge from the website listed on the back cover of this manual.

Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications

ttings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be

se accomplished by scanning the programming bar codes within this guide.

Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ application which is available from the Datalogic website listed on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration bar codes to print.

Overview

Chapter 1, Introduction provides a product overview, unpacking instructions, and cable

connection information.

Chapter 2, Setup presents information about unpacking and setting up the scanner, and

interface configuration bar code

Chapter 3, Configuration Using Bar Codes provides instructions and bar code labels for

customizing your scanner. There are different sect data formatting, symbology-specific and model-specific features.

Chapter 4, References provides details concerning programmable features. Appendix A, Appendix A, Technical Specifications lists physical and performance

characteristics, as well as environmental and r standard cable pin-outs and descriptions of the functions and behaviors of the scanner’s LED and Speaker indicators.

Appendix B, Appendix B, Standard Defaults references common factory default settings

for scanner features and options.

Appendix C, Appendix C, Sample Bar Codes offers sample bar codes of several common

symbologies.

Appendix D, Appendix D, Keypad includes numeric bar codes to be scanned for certain

parameter settings.

Appendix E, Appendix E, Scancode Tables lists control character emulation information for

Wedge and USB Keyboard interfaces.

Customizing Configuration Settings

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like Resetting the Product Configuration to

Defaults on page 13, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the

programming labels in this manual, however, requir Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal operation.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.

NOTE

Datalogic Aladdin™ Utility

Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration application which is available for free download from the Datalogic website listed on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration bar codes to print.

Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platfor configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. the Aladdin utility is available on the CD-ROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the scanner by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the scanner over the selected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.

Scanning Features

Scan Modes

Raster Mode

Normally, the scanner operates in an omnidirectional ”raster” mode, simultaneously projecting 20 lines which form an omnidirectional scan pattern used for 1D reading functions.

Single Scan Line Mode

When the scanner’s top Touch Button is actuated, the scanner enters single scan line operation, allowing the scanner to more easily target and read truncated bar codes, or aim at a single label from amongst multiple bar codes as an ordinary handheld scanner would do. The top green LED will change to red as the user touches the top green button. For example, it is recommended to use single line operation to read the programming bar codes presented in this manual.
