About the Reader

About the Reader

The QuickScan™ 2400 2D handheld area imager family was specifically created to address the
needs of retailers and meet the market demand with outstanding omni-directional reading per
formance on virtually all codes at an affordable price. Elegant design details are incorporated
into a smaller, balanced lightweight enclosure without sacrificing Datalogic’s well-known dura
bility.

Ideally suited for applications at the point of-sale (POS), the QuickScan Q2400 imager features
a new illumination and aiming system developed with the unique intent to reduce visual stress
of the operator during the daily scanning activities. It consists of a soft, dark red illumination
combined with two blue LED triangles pointing at the targeted bar code.

The result is a precise aiming system which contributes to low eye fatigue, yet still allows top
operator efficiency.

The QuickScan Q2400 imager family reads typical printed linear bar codes as well as complex
2D bar codes displayed on the screen of a mobile device or loyalty cards. The Q2400 imagers
are an elegant and robust imager family that provide fast, reliable scanning.

Imaging technology meets or exceeds the productivity compared to laser scanners and pro­vides the additional advantages of a lower cost-of-ownership and greater product reliability
over the long term.

The family of QuickScan™ handheld area imagers offers several models:

-

-

• QuickScan QD24XX - corded models

• Quickscan QBT24XX - cordless Blueotooth models

• QuickScan QM24XX - cordless Star models

The battery can be charged by connecting the reader directly to a host through the micro-USB
connector available in the bottom of the handle, as shown.

Alternatively, simply insert the QuickScan into the base. When the scanner is fully seated in the
cradle, it will sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the scanner connection.

The LEDs on the base will indicate the status of the battery.

The power supply connects directly to the base (not on the cable's jack) for all configurations.
For all interfaces (except RS-232) a power supply is recommended but not necessary, because
the base can be powered from the Host. When the base is powered from the Host, it automati­cally selects a slow charge rate.

RF Devices

For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the
base. To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to wake it and place it on the base. If
the reader was previously linked to another base, you must first scan the Unlink action com­mand before re-linking to the new base.

BT Models only

Remember: The mandatory condition for establishing a new linking between a BT handheld and
a BT base is that the handheld is unlinked and they share the same security configuration. A
successful link is indicated by three ascending tones from the reader. A high-low-high-low
tone indicates the link attempt was unsuccessful. A single green LED flash after this tone indi­cates no Base Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes after this tone indicates that more

an one Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three LED flashes after this

th
tone indicate a security error.

Linking a BT Reader to a PC

The reader can optionally be linked to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile, in
either server mode or client mode.

USB-OEM Device Usage

The USB-OEM protocol allows for the reader to be identified as one of two different types of bar
code scanners. Depending on what other scanners you may already have connected to a USB­OEM POS, you may need to change this setting to enable all devices to communicate.

Options are:

• Table Top Scanner

• Handheld Scanner

It may be necessary to switch device usage when connecting two readers/scanners of
the same type to a POS system.

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (convert to Hex using the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual), used to identify a bar code symbology
type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending
upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label
IDs or individually per symbology (see "Individually Set Label ID" on page 61). If you wish to
program the reader to always include an industry standa

MULTIPLE LABEL READING

In standard (default) mode, when the reader’s aiming system is activated (by a trigger pull,
motion or other method depending on the mode), it then acquires and processes each image in
the area in front of it (the Volume). In this case, the scanner stops processing the image once it
decodes a label. If several labels are present in the volume, only the first label encountered is
decoded and sent.

When Multiple Reading Mode is enabled, the scanner keeps on processing the image until all

e labels present are decoded. The reader then sorts the data from all the bar codes (if config-

th
ured to do so) before

Multiple Labels per Frame
