Getting Started

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:

RS-232 — The reader can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N) RS232 host.

RS-232 OPOS — This interface is used for OPOS/UPOS/JavaPOS systems.

Keyboard Wedge (KBW) — When connected using this interface, the host interprets scanned

data as keystrokes and supports several international keyboards (for the Windows® environment). See Country Mode on page 54 for a full listing.

USB — Select to communicate either by USB OEM, USB COM STD, or USB Keyboard 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).

Unpacking

Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Technical Support on page 3.

KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its original shipping container.

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 Interfaces sec-

tion, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instruc-

tions and programming bar codes available in the corresponding features section for your interface and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this manual.

8	QuickScanTM Lite QW2100

Setting Up the Reader

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 Configuration to Defaults on page 10, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change.

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.

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

grammable feature.

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.

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:

General Features — General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and LED indicators and other such universal settings.

Symbologies — Includes options concerning the bar code label types (symbologies). These settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.

Product Reference Guide

Getting Started

Software Version Transmission

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

Transmit Software Version

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

Restore Custom Default Configuration

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 Configuration bar code below. Both labels restore the reader configuration to the factory set-

tings 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.

Restore USA Factory Configuration

Restore EU Factory Configuration

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.

Interface Selection

Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

USB Models (all are 2.0 full speed)

USB KBD

USB COM STD

USB OEM

RS-232 / Keyboard Wedge Models

RS-232 (Standard, Wincor-Nixdorf, OPOS)

Keyboard Wedge

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 Table 1) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.

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 NOTE 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.
