2 Introduction to installation
2-1 Installing a USB HID keyboard wired scanner
Note: The default interface of the scanner is Bluetooth. Please change the Data Transfer to USB HID
Keyboard Mode (See
3-4-2 USB HID Keyboard
).
1. Refer to Figure 2-1, plug one end of the USB cable to the scanner. Plug the other end into the USB
port of the computer.
2. For example: Using Microsoft Windows operation system, the system gives message on “new
hardware found – USB HID input device found”, then driver will be installed on request.
3. After successfully installing the new hardware, message will be given: “hardware installed
successfully and ready to use”.
4. If any problem is encountered during the installation process, unplug the USB cable from the
computer and repeat step 1-2.

Note: The default interface of the scanner is BT HID Keyboard. Please change the Data Transfer to USB
Virtual COM Mode (See
1. Refer to Figure 2-1, plug one end of the USB cable to the scanner. Plug the other end into the USB
port of the computer.
2. For example: Using Microsoft Windows operation system, the system gives message on “new
hardware found – USB Virtual COM found” for USB virtual COM, then driver will be installed on
request.
3. After successfully installing the new hardware, message will be given: “hardware installed
successfully and ready to use”.
4. If any problem is encountered during the installation process, unplug the USB cable from the
computer and repeat step 1 to step 2.

Note:
1. Please establish a Bluetooth in the range of the network before the first time of scanning barcodes.
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 is
working.

is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Continuous - The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is
released or duration is elapsed.
Note: CR40-2D do not support “Continuous” mode.
3-4 Data Transfer
3-4-1 Bluetooth
The scanner can be configured to send data to a PC/Notebook/PDA/other instrument which has an
integrated Bluetooth module or is connected with an external Bluetooth USB adapter. A diagram of
Bluetooth functionalities and a table of various Bluetooth profiles are shown below, respectively:
Table 3-1 Various Bluetooth profiles
Note: Bluetooth-enabled smart phones and PDAs can host the scanner in general. However, ordinary
mobile phones with Bluetooth function can not be a host of the scanner because in most cases neither
HID nor SPP profile is supported by them.
Inter-barcode delay – This delay is inserted after each barcode transmitted. Some Bluetooth
communication needs large delay to avoid data missing. This default delay is set to 0 milliseconds.
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 0 milliseconds.
Auto reconnection – When scanner’s Bluetooth is power on, it will try to establish the wireless connection
with the host which it last connected.The default setting is enabled.
Out-of-range batch – The wearable unit starts storing barcode when it loses its connection to a
remote device (for example, when a user movethe wearable unit walks out of range). Data
transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the cradle (for example, when a user
move the wearable unit walks back into range). The default setting is disabled.

4-3 Scanning mode and some global settings
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 trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop scanning.
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.
Note1: Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
Note2: The number of check digits is included in max./Min. code length.
Note3: 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
C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting
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,

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.
17
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.
Sleep mode: the scanner will go to sleep when no code is successful decoded after the Sleep mode
delay elapsed.
Sleep mode delay: When no code is successful decoded beyond this time, the scanner will go to sleep.

Decode illumination mode: Enable illumination causes the scanner to turn on the illumination to aid
decoding. Disable illumination to turn off illumination for the scanner during decoding. Better quality
images could be obtained with illumination support. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as
the distance to the target increases.
Decode aiming pattern: When this option is enabled, the scanner will project the aiming pattern during
the code capture.

2D symbols read: A global setting of 2D symbols readability.
DPM format read: By setting Enable, the scanner can read 2D symbols in DPM (Direct Park Marking)
format. Some barcodes in DPM format are shown below.
1) By setting Enable, the scanner allows to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the
scanner's trigger. If the user pulls and holds the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of
symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping for each success read. The scanner
attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled.
2) By setting Enable, the scanner will output data only when all Structured Append symbols
have been decoded. The lower part of below figure shows an example of four Structured
Append symbols, with the same data as that in the upper symbol.
3) By setting Disable, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
