Chapter 1 Getting Started

Introduction

The digital scanner combines superior 1D and 2D omnidirectional bar code scanning and sub-second image capture and transfer to provide the best value in a digital scanner. Whether in hand-held mode or presentation (hands-free) mode in a stand, the digital scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time.

The digital scanner supports:

•

Simple Serial Interface (SSI) connection to a host. When using SSI, program the digital scanner via bar code

menu or SSI host commands.

•

Stan da rd RS-2 32 con nection to a host. Scan b ar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner

with the host.

•

USB connection to a host. The digital scanner autodetects a USB host and defaults to the HID keyboard

interface type. Select other USB interface types by scanning programming bar code menus.This interface

supports the following international keyboards (for Windows

French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese.

•

Configuration via 123Scan.

•

Direct part mark (DPM) scanning (DPM version only). Scan 2D symbols etched directly onto an item’s

surface (via laser etching and dot peening) for permanent identification.

Unpacking

Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the digital scanner was damaged in transit, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

connections).

NOTE Different hosts require different cables. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only.

The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner are the same.

Removing the Interface Cable

1. Loosen the two screws on the cable clamp at the bottom of the digital scanner and gently pull the clamp away

from the bottom of the digital scanner.

2. Open the clamp and unplug the interface cable modular connector from the cable interface port on the bottom

of the digital scanner handle. Carefully slide out the cable.

3. Follow the steps for Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3 to connect a new cable.

Connecting Power (if required)

If the host does not provide power to the digital scanner, connect an external power supply to the digital scanner:

1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the digital scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable

on page 1-3.

2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (refer to the host manual to locate the correct port).

3. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the interface cable. Plug the other end of the power supp ly into

an AC outlet.

Configuring the Digital Scanner

To configure the digital scanner, use the bar codes in this manual, or the 123Scan configuration program. See Chapter 4, User Preferences for information about programming the digital scanner using bar code menus.

Also see each host-specific chapter to set up connection to a specific host type. See Chapter 9, 123 Scan to configu re the digital scan ner using this configuration program. This program includes a

help file.

Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

Scanning with the Digital Scanner

1. Ensure all connections are secure (see the appropriate host chapter).

2. Aim the digital scanner at the bar code.

3. Press and hold the trigger.

Scanning 2 - 5

Figure 2-2

4. The digital scanner projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the bar code or object within

the field of view. If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code. The DS3407 Aim Dot version uses a center aiming dot rather than a cross for increased visibility in bright

lighting conditions. With Picklist Mode enabled by default in this version, it is ideal for scanning one bar code among many in a small area.

and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until a decode, you release the trigger, or the Decode Session Timeout occurs.

NOTE Scanning Direct Part Marks (DPMs) with the DS3407-DP (DPM) Digital Scanner: Due to the reflective

nature of some surfaces used with DPMs (see Figure 2-4), for best performance when scanning DPMs with the DS3407-DP (DPM) digital scanner, tilt the scanner at an angle relative to the target (Motorola recommends 25-45 degrees). For example, when scanning a 23 mil dot peen mark with the scanner set to near focus, present the target between one and four inches from the nose of the scanner at a minimum tilt of 30 degrees.

When scanning standard (non-DPM) bar codes with any configuration of the DS3407 digital scanner, follow the standard aiming instructions described in Aiming.

Scanning 2 - 7

Aiming

Hold the digital scanner between two and nine inches (depending on symbol density; see Decode Zones on page

2-9) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern cross hairs on the symbol.

The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol an d larger when it is farthe r from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.

The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top examples in Figure 2-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

Scanning in Presentation Mode

The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When you place the digital scanner in the stand’s “cup,” the digit al scanner’s built-in sensor places th e scanner in present ation (hands-fr ee) mode. When you remove the digital scanner from the stand it operates in its normal hand-held mode.

Adjust angle of scanner “cup”

Scanner “Cup”

Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Intellistand

Adjust height of IntelliStand

To operate the digital scanner in the IntelliStand:

1. Connect the digital scanner to the host (see the appropriate host chapter for information on host connections).

2. Insert the digital scanner in the Intellistand by placing the front of the digital scanner into the stand’s “cup” (see

Figure 2-6).

3. Use the Intellistand’s adjustment knobs to adjust the height and angle of the digital scanner.

4. Center the symbol in the aiming pattern. The entire symbol must be within the brackets.

5. Upon successful decode, the digital scanner beeps and the LED turns green. For more information on beeper

and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.
