QuickScan™ QD2430

Description

The QuickScan™ QD2400 2D imager has been specifically cre­ated to meet the market demand for omni-directional reading
performance on virtually all codes at an affordable price. Ele­gant design details are incorporated into a smaller, balanced
lightweight enclosure without sacrificing Datalogic's well­known durability.

Ideally suited for applications at the point-of-sale (POS), the
QuickScan QD2400 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.
Constructed with a combination of design and performance­based ideals such as bar code reading snappiness, motion tol­erance, perfect ergonomics and an attractive price, this 2D
imager is the ideal solution for the customer who is looking to
replace their linear only reading scanners with image-based
technology.

To read a symbol simply aim the reader and pull
the trigger. The QuickScan™ QD24XX is a powerful
omni-directional reader, so the orientation of the
symbol is not important.

Omni­Directional
Operating

Datalogic’s exclusive patented ‘Green Spot’ for
good-read feedback helps to improve productivity
in noisy environments or in situations where
silence is required. When using the product with
the cradle at a 45° position, the aiming pattern can
work as an aiming system to aid in positioning the
bar code for quick and intuitive reading.

Quick Reference Guide 1

Setting Up the Reader

Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D
bar codes, including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes,
Postal Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as

GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar
Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional).
The data stream — acquired from decoding a sym­bol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up and
communicating with its host.

1. Connect the Cable to the reader and the Host.

2. Configure the Interface (see page 5).

3. Configure the Reader starting on page 15 (optional,
depends on settings needed).

Using the Quickscan™ QD24XX

The Quickscan™ QD24XX normally functions by capturing and
decoding codes. The aiming system is activated on trigger pull
and indicates the center of the field of view which should be
positioned over the bar code:

Aiming System

Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

Quick Reference Guide 3

Selecting the Interface Type

A beam illuminates the label. The projected pattern of the
aiming system will be smaller when the reader is closer to the
bar code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbolo­gies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read
closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
If the aiming system is centered you will get a good read. Suc­cessful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good­read green spot LED indicator.

Reference the QuickScan QD24XX Product Reference Guide
(PRG) on the Datalogic website for more information about
this feature and other programmable settings.

Selecting the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader
and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for
information and programming for the interface type the
reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge,
USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate bar code to select your
system’s correct interface type.

Interface Selection

The reader model will support one of the following sets of
host interfaces:

General Purpose Models —

Information and programming options for each interface type
are provided in this section. For defaults and additional infor­mation associated with each interface, proceed to the corre­sponding chapter in the QuickScan QD2430 PRG.

Selecting the Interface Type

Configuring the Interface

Scan the appropriate programming bar code to select the
interface type for your system.

Unlike some other programming features and
options, interface selections require that you
scan only one programming bar code label. DO
NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scan­ning an interface selection bar code.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in
the disabled state when powered up. If addi­tional scanner configuration is desired while in
this state, pull the trigger and hold for 5 sec­onds. The scanner will change to a state that
allows programming with bar codes.
