3-2 Operate the scanner by receiving command via UART
Note
1) The information in this chapter is provided for the scanner with RS232 cable or USB cable.
2) If the scanner is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual COM”.
Please refer to chapter of
3-6 USB interface
.
3) Please read the chapter of
3-7 Scan mode & some global settings
about the setting of Scan mode
in details.
4) UART parameter setting:
a) Baud rate: 9600 bps.
b) Data bits: 8 bits.
c) Stop bit: 1 bit.
d) Parity check bit: None.
e) Flow control: None.
Guide of control command: all commands are sent by UART
1) Start command: “0x54” (T)
When the scanner received the above command, it will start barcode scanning following the setting
of Scanning mode. If the scanner is in the mode of “Auto-detection”, the scanner will have a single
scan, then returns to “Auto-detection” mode.
2) Stop command: “0x50” (P)
If the Scanning mode is set as “Alternate continue” or “Continue”, and the scanner received the
above command, it will stop barcode scanning and act as in an idle mode.
3) Restart command: “0x35” (R)
Once the scanner received the above command, it will restart.
Returning message from the scanner
1) A successful decode
Once the scanner successfully decoded a barcode, the scanner will stop scanning and returns the
barcode data to the Host.
2) Not a successful decode
Once the scanner failed to decode a barcode before stopping scanning, the scanner will return a
message to the Host. The message is set as “0x25, 0x25, 0x4E, 0x6F, 0x52, 0x65, 0x61, 0x64”
(%%NoRead).

3-4 Keyboard wedge interface
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 between 60us to 100us.
Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occasions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port
would require a free time gap following 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
national keyboard layout.
Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates
keyboard timing and passes keyboard present status to the PC during power-on.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised of
three or above bytes.
Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data.
Caps Lock reversion: By setting enable, the status of Caps Lock key (i.e. being pressed ON or OFF) on
the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status.
Caps Lock override: If this function is enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the
state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state of
the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.
A guide of setting while the scanned data is incorrectly 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 character (e.g. “A”) or compound-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).

3-5 RS-232 interface
Host type:
Standard- The scanner is connected to a standard RS-232 interface.
OPOS/JPOS- The scanner is connected to a POS terminal which may be necessary to install the
OPOS/JPOS driver to be compatible with the manufacturer's scanner. The OPOS/JPOS driver is
provided by the scanner manufacturer; please contact the scanner manufacturer for the instruction.
Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal
first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication.
If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout duration, the scanner will
issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle: High RTS), the scanner can be
set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
XON/XOFF-An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON
character.
ACK/NAK-After transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not
acknowledge) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data
again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs
are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Inter-character delay: Refer to Inter-character delay of
3-4 Keyboard wedge interface
.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the scanner when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.

Scan 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.
Alternate continue-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop
scanning.
Continue-The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is
pressed or duration is elapsed.
Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of scanner
stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after the Stand-by duration 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: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of decoded 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-G4 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
3-33
G1-G4 & C1-C2 & FN1 substitution string setting String setting
and
3-34 G1-G4 string position & Code
ID position
.
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 and 44.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces
in different scale.
24
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 barcode.
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.
Enter sleeping-mode delay: The scanner will enter sleeping mode if the scanner has been in the idle
mode after the predefined delay elapsed. The scanner will be awakened by pressing the trigger once.

4 Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solutions
Nothing happens when you
follow the operating instructions,
or the scanner displays erratic
behavior.
No power to the scanner.
Check the system power. Ensure the
power supply is connected.
Incorrect cables.
Use the original cables.
Connections are loose.
Check for loose cable connections.
Laser comes on, but the scanner
does not decode.
Bar code symbol is
unreadable.
Check the symbol to make sure it is not
defaced. Try scanning test symbols of
the same bar code type.
Scanner is not
programmed for the
correct bar code type.
Be sure the scanner is programmed to
read the type of bar code you are
scanning.
Distance between
scanner and bar code is
incorrect.
Move the scanner closer to or further
from the bar code.
Scanned data is incorrectly
displayed on the host.
Scanner is not
programmed to work with
the host. Check scanner
host type parameters or
editing options.
Be sure proper host is selected.
For RS-232, ensure the scanner’s
communication parameters match the
host’s settings.
For a USB-HID keyboard or a keyboard
wedge configuration, ensure the system
is programmed for the correct keyboard
type and language, and the CAPS
LOCK key is in the correct state.
Other circumstances.
Contact your distributor or the
manufactory support centre.

5 Maintenance
Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window may affect scanning
accuracy.
1. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.
2. Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.
3. Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with water.
4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the window.
5. Use a piece of soft and dry cloth when cleaning the scanner.

6 Assembling the stand
1. See the figure above, tighten the screws.
2. Bend the neck to the desired position for scanning.
3. Screw mounting: Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount-hole until the base of the stand
is secured.
4. Tape mounting: ①Peel the paper liner off one side of each piece of tape and place the sticky
surface over each of the three rectangular tape holders. ②Peel the paper liner off the exposed sides
of each piece of tape and press the stand on a flat surface until it is secure.

7 Barcode representing non-printable character
Notes to make the following barcode:
1. According to different barcode printing software, the method of printing following barcode is different.
2. If using CODESOFT software, firstly read the information through “Help→Index→Code128→Special input
syntax”. Also refer to ASCII table. For example, if we wish to make “F1” barcode, select “code128”, then
select “CODE A” type, and input “{DOC1}” as data.
