Precautions for Correct Use
Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and adverse effects
on performance and equipment.
1. Installation location
 The product must not be installed in a place:
• where ambient temperature is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where a rapid temperature change (dew condensation) occurs,
• where ambient humidity is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where direct vibration or shock may affect the product,
• where exposed to intense ambient light (laser, arc welding, or UV light),
• where exposed to direct sunlight or heat from heating appliances, and
• where a strong magnetic or electric field exists.
 Because of the protection rating described in the manual, avoid using
locations containing:
• corrosive or combustible gases,
• dust, salt, or metallic powders,
• droplets, water mist, oil or chemical agents.
2. Power supply, connection, and wiring
• Be sure to use S8VS-01505 (made by OMRON) as a driving power supply.
• Do not install the product in a location where a high-voltage device is installed.
• Be sure to user the supplied insulation board to assure the noise resistance.
• After connecting the cables, check that the correct power supply is used, that there is
no load short-circuiting or other inappropriate connections, and that the load current is
correct before turning the power ON. Faulty wiring may be the cause of failure.
• Use a wrist strap or other similar device to avoid electrostatic charge when you touch
terminals and signal lines within a connector, and to avoid damage due to static
electricity.
• Try to keep the length of the power cable to a minimum (less than 3 m).
3. Labels
• For labels with a highly gloss surface, reading errors may occur because of regular
reflection of the LED light. If this occurs, provide a skew angle of 15
label.

Introduction Procedure
Preliminary Examination
The following are typical specifications you should consider.
Check the type, width, height, and the number of digits of 2D codes and bar codes while
considering the supported codes, reading range performance, and reading angle performance.
Reading performance for bar codes on a highly gloss surface such as glossy paper or a card case
may be impaired because reflected illumination LED light or room illumination light enters the
reading window.
If reflected illumination LED light is the culprit, reading performance can be improved by providing
an angle of about 15° in the skew direction.

 How to create a menu sheet
Menu sheets use the CODE39 code system. However, the code used for this reader is
special as a space mark is used as the start and stop codes. (Normally “*”)
You can create a menu sheet using readily available code creation software, as shown
below.
E.g.: When creating a menu sheet “A3”
Create “* A3 *” and cut the parts of “*” with scissors to create the menu sheet “A3”.

Setting for plural reading reset time
This setting has effect when plural reading is enabled.
This setting specifies the number of frames (length of time) during which the reader
should be kept away from the code before reading the same code again.
Frames
A frame is another representation of time (ms). Intervals between frames are not constant and they
differ depending on codes. When the frame is set to infinity, the next code must differ from the
previous one as long as a trigger is input.

Setting for failed reading
Process for failed reading is set.
With the factory default setting, nothing is transmitted in the event of failed reading.
 Error message - No label
Direct input characters of up to 4 digits can be set. These characters are transmitted
when no code (label) is detected during the reading time.
• The error message is disabled when no direct input characters are read after the command.
• This may be output simultaneously with “Error message - Decoding failure”.
 Error message - Decoding failure
Direct input characters of up to 4 digits can be read. These characters are transmitted
when a code (label) is detected during the reading time but nothing is read.
• The error message is disabled when no direct input characters are read after the command.
• This may be output simultaneously with “Error message - No label”.
E.g.: In the following two examples, the “NL<CR>” message is set for “No label” and the “ND<CR>” message
for “Decoding failure”. Those two examples may occur at the same time.

Setting for the number of reading digits
When the number of reading digits is fixed, all codes having other lengths than that
specified can be rejected. Up to two reading digits can be set.
This setting is effective for codes such as Interleaved 2 of 5 for which security against
partial reading is insufficient.
While the number of reading digits to be fixed can be set by reading the code, the
number of reading digits cannot be set with a command since a code of the necessary
length must be read.
• To read codes of a known length, it is recommended that the number of digits be fixed.
• While the number of reading digits to be fixed can be set by reading the code, it is not affected by a
detail setting (p.65) for reading codes, including “Transfer ST/SP”, “Not transfer ST/SP”, “Transfer C/
D” and “Not transfer C/D”.
• Fixing the number of reading digits does not affect WPC (JAN/EAN/UPC) or other fixed-length codes
and DataMatrix or other 2D codes.
E.g.: The following describes the steps for fixing the number of reading digits.
Setting start (ZZ)
Fixed number of digits ON (H1)
Read the first code of the necessary length
Read the second code of the necessary length
Setting end (ZZ)

Setting Method
Setting for label registration
You should first register codes in the reader so that they are recognized as OK. This
function outputs the OK signal when the reader reads a code that matches one of the
registered codes and outputs the NG signal for a code that does not match any of those
codes.
Up to 5 codes can be registered.
Up to 123 bytes of a single set of data, and up to 250 bytes of data in total can be registered.
E.g.: The following describes the steps for registering labels.
Setting start (ZZ)
Label registration (+9)
Read the first code you want to register
Read the second code you want to register
Read the fifth code you want to register
Setting end (ZZ)
