Preface

The unit is a new presentation laser scanner which allows hands free bar code
scanning. Bar code labels are read by presenting the labels towards the unit.
Scanning labels with this unit hardly requires any arm movement.
As a result only little free space on the counter top is necessary.

This unit can either be fixed on a counter surface or on a flexible stand. The
flexible stand allows you to direct the scan pattern in a way that is optimal for
your application.

This unit reads all popular bar code symbologies. An important feature of this
unit is its programmable sleep mode. If the unit is not used within a
programmable period of time, the unit switches off automatically. The unit can
be re-activated by pressing the switch on top of the unit.
This unit is available in two colour versions, both supporting multiple interface
for communication with any host system. The multiple interface versions are:
RS-232 + USB + P-USB + Keyboard Wedge.

This manual contains two chapters and three appendices. The first chapter
describes this unit and its general features. The description for installation can
be found in the second chapter. Precisely follow the instructions for the
installation of the unit. Default settings can be changed with the bar code
labels from the Configuration Guide that came with the unit. Appendix A gives
the pin definition for the Data ports of the unit. The pin definition may be
required when you want to make a new cable for communication with the POS/
computer. Technical specifications of this unit can be found in Appendix B.
Refer to Appendix C for troubleshooting if the unit is not working properly.

English:

The scanner complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a Class I laser product. It also
complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term viewing
of direct laser light.

Optical:

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include
binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.

Radiant Energy:

The unit uses a low-power laser diode operating at 630…670 nm in an opto-mechanical scanner
resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power. Laser light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the
window through a 7 mm (0.28 in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 µW
per CDRH Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner,
as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8 mW could be accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewer:

The unit window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed on this product. A
failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause
emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this
occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be
disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments:

Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove the scanner’s
protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light
exposure.
