QuickScan™ QBT2400

Description

With rich feature sets and extensive options, the QuickScan™ product series from Datalogic represents the premium level of data collection equipment for general purpose applications. The QuickScan QBT2400 readers have enhanced optics with improved motion tolerance allowing codes placed on fast moving objects to be easily and quickly captured, creating the ideal reader for tasks requiring high throughput like those found in retail and light industrial environments.
To read a symbol simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. The QuickScan QBT2400 is a powerful omni-directional reader, so the orientation of the symbol is not important.
Omni-
Directional
Operation
Decoding
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 Green Spot can work as an aiming system to aid in positioning the bar code for quick and intuitive reading.
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.

Using the Quickscan™ QBT2400

Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
Using the Quickscan™ QBT2400
The Quickscan™ QBT2400 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
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 Q2400 Product Reference Guide (PRG) on the Datalogic website for more information about this feature and other programmable settings.

Programming

Standard Product Default Settings
Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard default features. After scanning the interface bar code from the Interfaces section, select other options and customize your reader through use of the programming bar codes avail­able in the Product Reference Guide (PRG) or Datalogic Alad­din™ configuration software (both available on the Datalogic website).

Using Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig­ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels require only the scan of that single label to enact the change.
Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program­ming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the desired parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code again to accept your changes, which exits Programming Mode and returns the reader to normal operation.

Configure Other Settings

Additional programming bar codes are available to allow for customizing programming features, if your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings. Reference the PRG or Datalogic Aladdin™ configuration software.
