Connecting Power (if required)
If the host does not provide power to the digital imager scanner, connect an external power supply:
1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the digital imager 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 supply into
an AC outlet.
Configuring the Digital Imager Scanner
To configure the digital imager scanner, use the bar codes in this manual, or the 123Scan configuration program.
See Chapter 4, User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Imager Scanner Options and Chapter 5, Imaging
Preferences for information about programming the digital imager scanner using bar code menus. Also see each
host-specific chapter to set up connection to a specific host type.
See Chapter 9, 123Scan to configure the digital imager scanner using this configuration program. The program
includes a help file.
Mounting the Digital Imager Scanner
Desk Mount
Use the optional desk mount for convenient and protective placement of the digital imager scanner on a flat
surface. Simply place the mount on the surface. The rubber feet hold the mount securely in place when inserting
and removing the digital imager scanner.
Figure 1-4
Alternatively, secure the desk mount to a desk surface by inserting two screws* appropriate for the mounting
surface through the screw holes of the desk mount, and into the surface. Screw the desk mount onto the surface
with or without the rubber feet.
Inserting the Digital Imager Scanner in the Desk Mount
*The recommended screws are two #6 screws (5/8” long).

digital imager scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is normal and
usually happens when the PC cold boots.

LED Definitions
In addition to beep sequences, the digital imager scanner uses a two-color LED to indicate status. Table 2-2
defines LED colors that display during scanning.

Install and program the digital imager scanner (see Setting Up the Digital Imager Scanner on page 1-3). For
assistance, contact the local supplier or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.
Scanning with the Digital Imager Scanner
1. Ensure all connections are secure (see the appropriate host chapter.)
2. Aim the digital imager scanner at the bar code.

3. When the digital imager scanner senses movement, in its default Auto Aim trigger mode, it projects a red laser
aiming pattern (Figure 2-3) which allows positioning the bar code or object within the field of view. (To turn off
the default Auto Aim trigger mode, see Trigger Mode on page 4-8.) If necessary, the digital imager scanner
turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.
The DS6707-DP version uses a donut-shaped pattern with a center aiming dot.

4. Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is within the

rectangular area formed by the brackets in the pattern.
When scanning with the DS6707-DP, ensure part of the bar code is visible on the inside of the donut-shaped
pattern.

5. Hold the trigger until the digital imager scanner beeps, indicating the bar code is successfully decoded. For

This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until the
bar code is decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.

Aiming
Hold the digital imager scanner between two and nine inches (depending on symbol density; see Decode Zones on
page 2-8) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern on the symbol. Ensure the cross hair falls on the symbol.
For the DS6707-DP, ensure part of the symbol is visible within the donut-shaped pattern.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital imager scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther
from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital imager scanner, and
those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital imager scanner.
The digital imager scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top
examples in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not
decode.
NOTE For best performance, ensure the pattern’s cross hair, or in the case of the DS6707-DP the aiming dot,
falls on the symbol.
