Note:

1. Please establish a Bluetooth network and hold the scanner in the range of the network before the first time of scanning barcodes (See chapters of Configure Bluetooth HID keyboard profile communication, Configure Bluetooth SPP slave profile communication, and Configure Bluetooth SPP master profile communication).

2. The scanner can perform a barcode scan operation even though no Bluetooth network is available. However, the scanner may react in a way that differs from what is described here if no Bluetooth network is working.

5 Operations of the scanner

5-1 Scan

Steps: Step 1: When the scanner is powered on, the LCD screen is displayed as below.

Step 2: Hold the scanner close to the barcode and press the Scan Key . Step 3: The scanner port emits a laser to scan the barcode. The decode success indicator lights green when the scan is successful. The window will show as below.

5-1-1 Scan Mode

Good-read off - The Scan key must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Momentary - The Scan key acts as a switch. Press the key to activate scanning and release the key to stop scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Continuous - The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the Scan key is released or duration is elapsed.

5-1-2 Input Data Manually

Using the virtual keypad, user can input a barcode manually, and then send the barcode to the host or store in the scanner. Make sure a communication link (Bluetooth network or USB cable) is working.

5-1-3 Quantity Enter

User can disable the Quantity Enter and select Repeat Output mode or Output Quantity mode. When Quantity Enter is enabled, user can set the number (0 to 9999) of barcode transmissions. For example, a barcode “123456789” is read. When user select Repeat Output mode, Five “123456789” will be received by the host, given that the quantity is 5. When user selects Output Quantity mode, “123456789, 5” will be received by the host, given that the quantity is 5. The quantity decides how many identify barcodes a host receives upon a single successful read.

Separator Setting- When user selects Output Quantity mode, the barcode and quantity will be separated,

the default separator is comma <,>. Separator Setting is Quantity enter-Output Quantity-Options. By using the virtual keypad, user can input character manually. The length of the separator string can be at most 10 characters.

The following steps demonstrate the procedure to set a quantity. Step 1: Enable Quantity Enter, press the Scan Key to read a barcode. Example display:

Step 2: Press Right Soft Key to the window below.

Step 3: Use Navigation Keys to move the cursor, Scan/Select Key to select number(s), Right Soft Key to delete selected number(s). And then press Left Soft Key to continue.

Step 4: Finally press Left Soft Key to complete.

5-1-4 Add Time

The time information can be added as an appendix to a barcode by enabling the Add Time. For example: When Add Time is enabled, a barcode “123456789” is read in 12:00:00, “123456789,12:00:00” will be received by the host。 When Add Time and Add Date is enabled, a barcode “123456789” is read in 12:00:00 at 25.05.2012, “123456789,12:00:00, 25.05.2012”will be received by the host.

Scanning mode:

Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of

scanner 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. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or

no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.

Continue-The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is

pressed or duration is elapsed. Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the laser beam must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite. Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm a valid reading. Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode decoded. Notes:

1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is requested.

2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.

3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8 and China Post. Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to the chapters of “String setting” and “String position & Number of truncated leading/ending character”. Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42. All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and

66. Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces in different scale. Character output restraint: Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH. Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.

Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This function is not effective for all types of barcodes. Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after stopping scanning. Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one. Decode-data transfer type in USB HID mode:

Serial- In case of the cable type is set as USB HID mode, while the scanner is doing decode-data

transfer to host, other operations are NOT permitted.

Parallel- In case of the cable type is set as USB HID mode, while the scanner is doing decode-data

transfer to host, other operations are permitted.

7-33 G1-G6 & C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting

Format of barcode data transmission

Suffix string setting: The <enter > key is represented in different ASCII when it is applied by different OS. For a Windows/DOS OS, <enter> is represented as <CR><LF> (0x0D 0x0A); for an Apple MAC OS, <enter> is represented as <CR> (0x0D); for a Linux/Unix OS, <enter> is represented as <LF> (0x0A). Prefix/Suffix string setting: & Preamble/Postamble string setting: They are appended to the data automatically when a barcode is decoded. Example: Add a symbol of “$” as a prefix for all symbols. Steps:

1) Scan the option barcode of Prefix string setting.

2) Use the ASCII table to find the value of $→24.

3) Scan 2 and 4 from the barcode on the last page.

4) Scan END barcode. Scanning steps: Scan the following barcodes in order.

Insert G1/G2/G3/G4 string setting: The scanner offers 4 positions and 4 character strings to insert among the symbol. Example: Set G1 string to be “AB”.

Steps:

1) Scan the option barcode of Insert G1 string setting.

2) Use the ASCII table to find the value of A→41, B→42.

3) Scan 4, 1 and 4, 2 from the barcode on the last page.

4) Scan END barcode.

5) Refer to the chapter of “

FN1 substitution string setting: The FN1 character (0x1D) in an UCC/EAN128 barcode, or a Code 128 barcode, or a GS1 DataBar barcode can be substituted with a defined string.

Truncate leading G5 string setting: By setting, a defined leading character or string can be truncated. Also a single character can be un-defined. Repeat of a G5 character setting: While G5 is set as a single defined/un-defined character, G5 can also be set to be repeated. This setting is ignored when the truncate number is more than the barcode data

characters. The option of “FF” for this setting is not active while the option of Truncate leading G5

string setting is “00”.

Example: Truncate all leading zeros for all symbols.

Steps: scan the following data in order.

Testing barcode:

Truncate ending G6 string setting: By setting, a defined ending character or string can be truncated. Also a single character can be un-defined.

Repeat of a G6 character setting: While G5 is set as a single defined/un-defined character, G6 can also be set to be repeated. This setting is ignored when the truncate number is more than the barcode data characters. The option of “FF” for this setting is not active while the option of Truncate ending G6 string setting is “00”. Single character C1/C2 replacement: By setting, a defined character in the data string can be replaced by another defined character. The C1 and C2 replacement can be applied simultaneously.

Example: Replace all the “A” character in a data string with “B” character.

Steps: scan the following barcodes in order. The ASCII value for “A” is 41, and the ASCII value for “B” is 42.

Original code data

“1 2 3 A 4 C 5 6 E 7 8”

Output code data

“1 2 3 B 4 D 5 6 F 7 8”

Testing barcode:

Multiple characters C3 replacement: By setting, a number of defined characters in the data string can be replaced by other defined characters. The maximum number of characters to replace is 11.

Example: Replace all the “A” character in a data string with “B” character; replace “C” with “D”; replace “E” with “F”.

Steps: scan the following barcodes in order. The ASCII value for “A” is 41, for “B” is 42, for “C” is 43, for “D” is “44”, for “E” is 45, and for “F” is 46.
