INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Installation- Keyboard Wedge
1. First of all, you must switch off power for the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer and connect to the interface cable of the scanner.
3. Connect the interface cable of the scanner to the terminal/computer.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power on.
Installation- RS-232
1. Disconnect power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the external power supply (DC adapter) to the interface cable of the scanner.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on the back of your computer/terminal. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Plug the power pack into power source.
5. Once the scanner has been fully connected, turn the terminal/computer power back on.
Installation- USB (Simulates keyboard wedge)
1. Connect the USB cable to the terminal/computer.
2. Windows will automatically detect the USB device.
Note: If any of the above operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and
check any improper connections. Go through all above steps again.

Scanning mode: Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed to activate
scanning. The light source of imager stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to
activate scanning and release button to stop scanning.
Alternate-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to
activate or stop scanning.
Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning,
and imager stops scanning when no code is decoded after the Stand­by duration elapsed.
Continue-Imager always keeps reading, and it does not matter when
trigger button is pressed or duration is elapsed.
Test only-For test of scan performance only. It is improper to be
utilized to check the accuracy of transmitted data.
Double read timeout: The imager will require a several times
successful decoding to confirm the data when enabled. The more confirming times required, the more inhibitive miss-reading code will be shown. The Multi field scan Enable function won’t be able to work if set Double confirm.
Double confirm: If the barcode has been scanned twice, then only
the first barcode will be accepted.
Supplement Check Counter: It will be more reliable to read the
barcode with extension (supplement) like UPCE/A or EAN-8/13, but slow down the decoding speed when this counter is set more.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting assistance for common problems:
The data from the Scanner is not as expected. ANS: Please download full User’s Manual and follow all
instructions.
The Scanner does not output data.
. ANS: Check basic operation: connect the cable; see if the
desired barcode type (symbology) is enabled.
The Scanner does not function with the computer.
ANS: Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the
host computer. Consult your technical support personnel or refer to your host system manual to verify the proper connection for the imager.
I have a scanner with keyboard wedge, but after changing
interface to RS-232, the scanner beeps continuously and fails to reset to factory default, what can I do?
ANS: Sometimes if a scanner with keyboard wedge cable is
mistakenly set to RS-232 interface, the only solution is to find an RS-232 cable with power adapter, connect the scanner with the RS-232 cable and perform a factory reset.
