About the Reader

One distinctive feature offered by the reader is a very wide scan angle which can read long
linearbar codes, such as utlity bills. Whether used in Single Trigger or Continuous Mode,
the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable handling during ex­tended periods of use.
The reader can communicate using the following interfaces:

interface types by scanning the appropriate interface type bar codes available in this man­ual. The default interface is USB-KBD for Wedge models (7230) and USB-OEM for
IBM models (7210).

Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undam­aged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact
KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned
in its original shipping container.

The reader can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N) RS-

Getting Started

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and commu­nicating with its host:

1. Install the Interface Cable

2. Select the Interface Type

3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)

4.

Configure Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Install the Interface Cable

The reader kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for
your installation. If not, contact Technical Support.
Seat the cable assembly into the reader, aligning both the connector, aligning the cable
clip with its opening as shown in the insert portion of Figure 1.

RS-232 Serial Connection —

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to
the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal
will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the ap­proved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the sock­et on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the
reader. Connect the female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at
the keyboard port at the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 2.

Hands Free Stand

An accessory is available which holds the reader at a convenient angle, allowing hands
free scanning of items. Press in on the release buttons on both sides of the stand to raise
the arm of the stand as shown in
counter or table using self-tapping screws or double-sided tape.

Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts.
The connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual
connectors may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to
connect the reader remain the same.

Programming

The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface bar code from the
tion, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instruc­tions and programming bar codes available in the corresponding features section for your
interface and also the

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure
your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like Resetting the Product Configura-

tion to Defaults on page 10

Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed
in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to
enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, you can scan a
number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time,
which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to
normal operation.

NOTE

Select the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed di­rectly to Interfaces on page 11 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 in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.

Setting Up the Reader

, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming
sequence described above. Please read the description and
setting instructions carefully when configuring each given pro­grammable feature.

Configure Interface Settings

The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. If after scanning the interface bar code from the Interfaces
section, your installation requires you to select options to further customize your reader,
turn to the appropriate section for your interface type as listed below:

• RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 37

• RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces, starting on page 43

• Keyboard Interface, starting on page 53

USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 65

Configure Other Features

If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default set­tings, the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific
settings you might require:

LED indicators and other such universal settings.

Symbologies

settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit,

Software Version Transmission

The software version of the device can be transmitted over the RS-232 and Keyboard in­terfaces by scanning the following label.

Resetting the Product Configuration to Defaults

If you aren't sure what programming options are in your reader, or you've changed some
options and want to restore the Custom Default Configuration that may have been saved
in the reader, scan the Restore Custom Default Configuration bar code below. This will
restore the custom configuration for the currently active interface.

Custom defaults are based on the interface type. Configure
the reader for the correct interface before scanning this label.

NOTE

If you aren't sure what programming options are in your reader, or you've changed some
options and want to restore the Factory Configuration, you have two options. You can
scan the Restore USA Factory Configuration bar code or the Restore EU Factory Con-

figuration

bar code below. Both labels restore the reader configuration to the factory set­tings including the interface type. The USA label restores Label IDs to those historically
used in the USA. The EU label restores Label IDs to those historically used in Europe.
The Label ID sets for USA and EU are shown in the Label ID section of this manual.

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu com­mands (indicated by shaded blocks and bold text) on the following pages.

Configuring the Interface

Scan the programming bar code from this section which selects the appropriate interface type
matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding chap­ter in this manual (also listed in
ated with that interface.

NOTE

Table 1) to configure any desired settings and features associ-

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