General Handling Precautions

Do not dispose of the scanner in fire. Do not put the scanner directly in the sun or by any heat source. Do not use or store the scanner in a very humid place. Do not drop the scanner or allow it to collide violently with other objects. Do not take the scanner apart without authorization.

Printing Guidance

This programming guide is in A5 size. Please double check your printer setting before printing it out. When barcodes are to be printed out for programming, the use of a high-resolution laser printer is strongly suggested for the best scan result.

For CE-Countries

This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved, CE-marked power supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.

About This Guide

This programming guide applies to various handheld scanners, including

* Advanced Handheld Contact CCD Scanner,

* Advanced Middle-Range Handheld CCD Scanner,

Some settings are not available for certain models. If you are not sure about the model of your scanner at hand, refer to the device label or contact your distributor.

This document is in A5 size. Please check your printing setting before printing it out. When barcodes are to be printed out for programming, the use of a high-resolution laser printer is strongly suggested for the best scan result.

The settings herein shall be updated periodically without prior notice. For the latest version, please contact your distributor.

Introduction to Scanner Configuration

Scanning a series of programming barcode labels can configure the series scanners. This allows decoding options and interface protocols to be tailored to a specific application. The configuration is stored in non-volatile memory and will not be lost by removing power from the scanner.

The scanner must be properly powered before programming. For RS-232C type scanners, an external power adapter must be used to supply DC power to the scanner. If a keyboard emulation type scanner is used with an IBM PC/XT/ AT, PS/2 or any fully compatible computers, power will be drawn from the keyboard port. No external power adapter is required. If keyboard emulation type scanner is used with any other non IBM PC compatible computers, an external power adapter may be needed.

Programmable options are divided into four groups. The second group governs the operation of different interfaces, RS-232 serial ports, keyboard, and USB. The third group sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology. The last group is about more advanced data formatting.

Default Parameters

This table gives the default settings of all the programmable parameters. The default settings would be restored whenever the scanner reads the "Reset" programming label in programming mode. If you wish to change any setting, scan the appropriate barcodes below.

Programming Procedure

Below is the programming procedure by using barcodes in this guide.

1. Power up the scanner.

Scan the Start of Configuration barcode.

Scan the barcode for the desired feature. Multiple features can be enabled/disabled before scanning the End of Configuration barcode.

Scan the End of Configuration barcode and save the new configuration.

To give up a configuration change, power off the scanner before scanning the End of Configuration barcode or scan the Abort barcode.

For some parameter setting, such as barcode length and identifier code, it is required to scan the Set barcode to save the configuration.

Connection to an Omnidirectional Scanner

Instead of connecting to a host, sometimes the handheld scanner is to be connected to the AUX port of an omnidirectional scanner and transmit data to the host system via this omnidirectional scanner. Such application is not uncommon in places like hypermarkets and home improvement shops where there are products too heavy or bulky to be put on the counter and need a handheld scanner to read their barcodes.

In most cases, the auxiliary input port’s data transmission format would follow the main output format of the omnidirectional scanner, including barcode symbologies and related parameters. For example, if the handheld scanner can read Codabar while the omnidirectional scanner can not, the handheld scanner would decode a Codabar barcode without transmitting the data. To complete the data transmission process, you have to re-program the omnidirectional scanner and enable Codabar decoding capability.

The following barcode allows you to enable and disable the AUX port. For more application and connection instructions, refer to the manual of the omnidirectional scanner.
