To scan bar codes:

1. Aim the scanner at a slight angle or pitch to the bar code and press the trigger.

2. If you did not get a good read, adjust the scanner distance from the bar code and the
position of the scan beam to make sure you scan every bar and space. The optimum
reading stance between scanner and barcode is 15-20 cm.

3. On a successful read, there’ll be a beep sound, beam dies out. The scanner then
transmits barcode message to the Host.

4. To instantly upload data, please make sure that the terminal is in range and
associated to the base, or program will automatically turn into storage mode. The
terminal communicates with the base at long distance of 150 meters indoor or 300
meters outdoor.

Conguring the scanner:

Play around in the settings menu to congure the device to your exact specications.

Setting Code Description Note

Normal Mode

(instant upload mode)

Scan this code to enter
normal scanning mode.

Under this mode, data will
be transmitted to the base
upon scan.

(defaulted)

The scanner emits 1 beep and

the blue light ashes once when

the base successfully receives
signals.
The scanner emits 3 beep and

the blue indicator ashes 3 times

when the base is not successfully
associated with scanner. The
scan result will be automatically
stored in the scanner.
Storage mode will be activated
to replace normal mode when
the base fails 3 times in a row
receiving a signal.

Storage Mode

Scan this code to enter
Storage mode.
Under this mode, scans will
be stored in the scanner.

Under this mode, the red light

is on. The blue light will ash

when a code is successfully
read and stored.

Upload data

Scan this code to uploading
stored data.
All data in the scanner will be
uploaded to the corresponding
base.
(Note: if the data of previous
operations are not cleared but
still stored in the scanner, they
will also be uploaded.)

You can scan this code to
re-upload all stored data when
uploading is stopped due to
improper base association.

(During uploading, the scanner
responds as under normal
mode)

Upload data of last

operation

Scanner this code to upload
data of the last operation
(from the last startup) to the
base.
