USING FIRESCAN™ SERIES READERS

FireScan™ laser scanners automatically scan barcodes at a
distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. Code scanning is

performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window.

This line must cross the entire code.

Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the scanner with
respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections, which impair
the reading performance, see the figure above.

AIMING SYSTEM

FireScan™ laser scanners provide a programmable aiming
system. If enabled, the scan line emitted from the reading
window is preceded by a red spot, which must illuminate the
code center to get the best reading performance (see figure
above, c). Once the defined timeout is reached, the red spot
disappears and is followed by the scan line to start the code
scanning.

After configuring the scanner, read one of the following codes to
set desired aiming system timeout.

INTERFACE SELECTION

Follow the procedure to configure the interface required by your
application:

- USB Interface

- RS232 Interface

- Wedge Interface

- Pen Interface

USB INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

The USB interface is compatible with:

Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows
Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System

START-UP

As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs
several checks by communicating with the FireScan™. During
this phase the green LED on the FireScan™ reader blinks and
normal operations are suspended. Two basic conditions must
be met before FireScan™ is ready to read codes, the correct
USB driver must be loaded and sufficient power must be
supplied to the reader.

For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD
interface is included in the Host Operating System and will
either be loaded automatically or will be suggested by the O.S.
and should therefore be selected from the dialog box (the first
time only).

If the Host supplies sufficient power to the reader, the start-up
phase ends correctly, the green LED stops blinking and the
reader emits the beep OK signal.

If the Host does not supply sufficient power to the reader, a
dialog box will appear on the Host and the reader will be
blocked (green LED continues blinking). In this case,
disconnect the USB cable at the Host
blinking), connect and power-up an external supply to the USB
cable then
dialog box. The reader emits the beep OK signal. You can now
read codes. At this point you can read the USB interface
configuration code according to your application. Load drivers
from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB-COM
interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from
the USB Device Installation software, which can be downloaded
from the web page http://www.datalogic.com

The reader is ready.
