vi QuickScan™ QBT2400
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.

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.

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.
Resetting Standard Product Defaults
Reference the PRG for a listing of standard factory settings. If
you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader,
or you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the bar code below to copy the factory
configuration for the currently active interface to the current
configuration.
Factory defaults are based on the interface

Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills,
smudges or debris require periodic cleaning to ensure best
performance during scanning operations. Contacts on the
scanner and the base should also be cleaned as needed to
ensure a good connection.
Be sure to unplug the reader and base before cleaning.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the product. If the product is very
soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted non-
aggressive cleaning solution or diluted ethyl alcohol.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleansing
agents or abrasive pads to clean scan windows,
