angle with an extended scanning line which is per­fect for reading long and truncated bar codes.
Datalogic's exclusive patented `Green Spot' for
good-read feedback helps to improve productivity
in noisy environments or in situations where
silence is required.

Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) bar codes,
including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes.
The data stream — acquired from decoding a sym­bol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.

Programming

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 QuickScan QD2131 PRG. Check the corresponding
features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing
and Symbologies chapters of the PRG.

Using Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig­ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the

Reset Default Settings on page 6, require only the scan of that

single label to enact the change.
Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program-

ming 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 in the PRG to
allow for customizing programming features. If your installa­tion requires different programming than the standard fac­tory default settings, refer to the PRG.

Resetting Product Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your
reader, or you’ve changed some options and want your cus­tom factory settings restored, scan the bar code below to
reset the reader to its initial configuration. Reference the PRG
for other options, and a listing of standard factory settings.

Factory defaults are based on the interface
type. Be sure your reader is configured for the
correct interface before scanning this label.
See "Selecting the Interface Type" on page 6 for

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/ Retail Point of Sale Model —

OEM, Keyboard.
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 QD2131 PRG.

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 scan

NOTE

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.

The aiming system will briefly switch off after the acquisition
time, and if no code is decoded will switch on again before the
next acquisition. The illuminator will remain on until the sym­bol is decoded.

As you read code symbols, adjust the distance at which you
are holding the reader.

Operating Modes

Scan Mode

The imager can operate in one of several scanning modes.

Trigger Single —

vated until one of the following occurs:

• a programmable duration

• a label has been read

• the trigger is released

• "maximum scan on time" is reached
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader opera­tion.

Trigger Hold Multiple —

starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, a
programmable duration

not disable scanning. "Double read"
sired multiple reads while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple —

pulled and continues after the trigger is released until the
trigger is pulled again or until the "maximum scan on time" is
reached or a programmable duration
label does not disable scanning. "Double read"
vents undesired multiple reads.

Flashing —

trigger status. Code reading takes place only during the flash
on time. "Double read"
reads.

Always On —

trigger status and the reader is always ready for code reading.
"Double read"

Object Detection —

the scanner looks for scene changes within its field-of-view
to initiate read attempts. The Green Spot can be configured to
be on, to help the user to find the position of the reading line.
When an object’s presence is detected in the scene the illumi­nator turns on and turns off the green spot. Scanning contin­ues until the Object Gone Timeout expires after last read.

LED and Beeper Indications

LED and Beeper Indications

The reader’s beeper sounds and its top multi-colour LED illu­minates to indicate various functions or errors on the reader.
An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The
following tables list these indications. One exception to the
behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are
programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For
example, certain indications such as the power-up beep can
be disabled using programming bar code labels.
