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 reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section
for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Param-

Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available for download
free of charge on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting
configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These
commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface, or they can be
printed as bar codes to be scanned.

Charging the Batteries
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.
Battery Safety
To reinstall, charge and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow the instructions in

NOTE
WARNING
logic recommends annual replacement of recharg

Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. When the battery is
used in devices other than the designated product, it may damage the battery or reduce its
life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery
to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if
exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:
•Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.

CAUTION
As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity
deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite

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.
Linking to a PC in Server Mode (BT Slave Mode)

Interface Selection
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1
starting on page 18 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-
232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate bar code in that section to configure
our system’s correct interface type.

Setting the Interface
Scan the programming bar code from this section which selects the appropriate interface type
matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding section in this manual (also listed in Table 1 on page 18) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require that
you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar
