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

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.

Before using the Battery, read “Battery Safety” in the following section. Datalogic recommends
annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.

Linking the Reader to a Base Station

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

one Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three LED flashes after this

than
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)

To link a BT reader in server mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, follow these steps:

1. Install any drivers provided with the Bluetooth adapter.

2. Scan the

3. Use the host computer’s Bluetooth manager to “Discover new devices” and select "Data­logic Scanner." If you receive an error message, it may be necessary to disable security on

Linking to a PC in Client Mode (BT Master Mode)

The reader can optionally be linked in client mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial
port profile. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the PC or terminal can ne

twork with Blue

tooth devices and that it is powered on.

2. Ensure that a COM port is assigned under Services within the Bluetooth setup menu.

3. Create a Link label that contains the address of the PC Bluetooth adapter.

The Bluetooth address can be found under "Properties" within in the Bluetooth setup
menu.

The link label is a Code 128 function 3 label with the following format:

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-

USB-OEM Device Usage

The USB-OEM protocol allows for the reader to be identified as one of two different types of bar
code scanners. Depending on what other scanners you may already have connected to a USB­OEM POS, you may need to change this setting to enable all devices to communicate.

Options are:

• Table Top Scanner

• Handheld Scanner

It may be necessary to switch device usage when connecting two readers/scanners of
the same type to a POS system.

upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label

MULTIPLE LABEL READING

In standard (default) mode, when the reader’s aiming system is activated (by a trigger pull,
motion or other method depending on the mode), it then acquires and processes each image in
the area in front of it (the Volume). In this case, the scanner stops processing the image once it
decodes a label. If several labels are present in the volume, only the first label encountered is
decoded and sent.

When Multiple Reading Mode is enabled, the scanner keeps on processing the image until all

abels present are decoded. The reader then sorts the data from all the bar codes (if config-

the l
ured to do so) before tr
