Set Up

Unpacking

Remove the scanner from its packaging and inspect
it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in
transit, call the Opticon Customer Service Dept. at
800-636-0090.

Quick Start Procedure

Your new LGP scanner is easy to use and can be
installed and operative in a few minutes. Heres
how to set it up:

Plug the scanner into a USB port on the back of a
PC. There is no need to turn off or refresh power to
the PC. If more than one USB port is present, the
scanner can be plugged into any USB port.

On a PC running Windows 98 or higher, once the
scanner has been plugged in, the PC will recognize
that new hardware has been added and a dialog
box entitled Add New Hardware Wizard will
appear to guide you through installation. Click
Next.

At the prompt, What do you want Windows to
do?, select Search for best driver, then click
Next.

At the prompt, Windows will search its driver
database on your hard drive, click Next.

At the prompt, Windows located a USB Human
Interface Device, click Next.

At the prompt indicating that Windows has installed
a specific driver, click Finish.

Your scanner is now ready to scan bar codes! Try
scanning the bar code below:

Scanning

If the scanner has a switch, depress button on
underside to turn the scanner on. Red LED illumina­tion will emit from the scan window. If the scanner
does not have a trigger switch, then the LEDs will
automatically remain on as long as the computer
system is on.

NOTE: A CCD scanner will not read any bar code
label which is wider than the scan window.

Approach, point or touch the bar code label with the
scan window of the CCD scanner.

♦ Scan within a distance of 0 to 2" from the

bar code label.

♦ Center the CCD scan window on bar code

label for fastest read.

♦ The scanner will beep to indicate an

audible good read (if beeper has not been
turned off by a menu option).

♦ A green LED indicator will visually signal a

good read.

Troubleshooting

A. If LEDs do not light up when installation

instructions are followed:

♦ Make sure there is power to the scanner.
♦ Recycle computer power.
♦ Verify computer fuses are ok.
♦ Check for loose cable connections.

B. If LEDs light up, but good read beep is

not

heard and no data appears on the computer:

♦ Make sure the distance between the

scanner and bar code label is not greater
than the specified depth-of-field when
trying to read it.

♦ Verify the bar code label is readable and

meets bar code specification.

♦ Check to see if the scanner reads other bar

code labels (if yes, the non-reading label
may be a label which the scanner is not
programmed to decode.)

♦ Verify that the bar code label is not wider

than the CCD scan window.

C. If LEDs light up, good read beep is heard but

no data appears on the computer:

♦ Verify that the application software running

on the computer is setup to receive
keyboard data.

♦ Make sure the communication parameters

on both the scanner and the computer are
identical (i.e. baud rate, data bits, parity
and stop bits).

♦ Try scanning the data into a different

Windows application, such as Notepad.

NOTE: If after performing these checks, the
scanner is still not functioning, contact your dis­tributor or call Opticon Technical Support at 800­636-0090
