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.
17
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.

See System Setting - Bluetooth for instructions to establish a Bluetooth network. Three options are
listed below.
Out of range batch- The scanner starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a remote host
(for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by
reestablishing the connection with the host (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks back
into range).
Auto reconnection- When scanner’s Bluetooth is power on, it will try to establish the wireless connection
with the host which it last connected, if Auto Reconnection is enabled.
Inter-char delay- Inter-character delay is abbreviated to Inter-char delay. This delay is inserted after each
data character transmitted when configure Bluetooth to HID keyboard profile. Some Bluetooth
communication needs large delay to avoid data missing. This default delay is set to 8 milliseconds.
BA2110 Connect Time- This is a standby time for the user to plug the BA2110 into PC after scanned the
barcode on the back of BA2110. The default standby time is set to 10 seconds. (For more detail, please
