Notice

Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scanner is able to perform at the level for which it i s designed.

1) All software, includi ng f irmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.

2) The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or design.

3) The material in this manu al is s ubject to change without noti c e.

4) The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise from the use of this manual.

5) A st andard kit cont ains: a handhe ld unit, a cr adle, a USB c able, and a CD-RO M (cont aining s oftw are and electrical manuals).

6) Do not throw or drop the scanner or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper operation.

7) Use a blunt object to operate the stroke keys. Use of a sharp pointed object can damage stroke keys and cause shorting of internal circuitry.

8) Do not remove the battery from the barcode scanner before you read the instructions car efully.

9) Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating the scanner while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to avoid conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it dries completely before using the scanner.

10) If multi-clusters are working in the same area, it is strongly recommended that different radio frequency channel numbers are applied to different clusters. While setting up, only the radio frequency channel number of the first handheld unit of a single cluster is required to be set. When the first handheld unit binds to the cradle, the cradle will automatically obtain the radio frequency channel number of the handheld unit. The consecutive joined handheld units will automatically obtain the radio frequency channel number of the cradle.

11) In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, when in multi-clusters working mode, the physical space between t wo cradles is required to b e at least 2 meters.

12) In order to obtain con stant ly good communication quality, it is recommended to place the cradle on a higher location, generally more than 1 meter above the ground. If working outdoor, the higher location the better.

Disable- Do not batch data. The handheld unit attempts to transmit every scanned barcode. If the

transmission is failed, the bar c ode data is ignored. Out-of-range batch－ The handheld un it starts stori ng barcode data when it loses its co nnection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the handheld unit walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the cradle (for example, when a user holding the handheld unit w alks back into range). Standard batch- The handheld unit starts storing barcode data after %%%EBM” (Enter Batch Mode) is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning “%%%SBD” (Send Batch Data). If you wish to output the total number of barcodes scanned when in Standard batch Mode, scan“%%%BDN”. In Out-of-range batch or Standard batch modes, calculate the number of barcodes the handheld unit can store as follows:

Number of storable barcodes = 524,288 bytes of m em or y / (number of characters in t he barcode + 2).

3-6 Keyboard wedge interfac e for c ra dle

Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM

terminals.

Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts. Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or

scanner, with the period betw een 60us to 100us. Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occa sions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port would require a free time gap f ol lowing the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt).

Numeric key:

Alphabetic key- The scanner will output code result as alphabetic key. Numeric key- The scanner will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’,

‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only). Alt + keypad- The scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad). Note that the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with

different nationa l keyboard layout. Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates keyboard timing and p asses keyboard present status to the PC during pow er-on.

Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character t r ansmitted. Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is compr ised

of three or above bytes. Block tr ans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer continually with shorter ba r code data. Caps Lock reversion: By set ting enable, t he st atus of Caps Lo ck key (i. e. being pr essed O N or OFF) on the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status. Caps Lock override: If this functi on i s enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the state of the Caps Lo ck key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in t he bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the st ate of the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.

A guide of setting while t he sca nned data is incorrect ly displayed on the host

If some characters are missed or some additional characters are incorrectly displayed on the host,

set the Inter-byte delay (0208) to be “01” or greater value.

If some capital c haracter ( e.g. “A”) or compo und-key-characters (e.g.“shift+”, “Ctrl＋”, “Alt+”)are

displayed incorrectly, set the Delay-after-compound-key to be “01” or greater value.

If some digits are incorrectly displayed as some symbol characters (e.g. “1” and “2” are displayed

incorrectly as “!” and “@”), set the Clock period (0203) to be greater value (e.g. 04, 05).
