5 Calibrate Zero Height
Zero Height calibration allows
DimStation to calculate the
distance between the scan
head and the base. The process
diers depending on whether
the base is flat or uneven.
If your base is a smooth-topped
scale or the DimStation base,
touch the left button.
If your base is a scale with an
uneven surface (such as rollers),
touch the right button.
6 Zero Height/Uneven surface
If you have a smooth-topped
scale or base, skip this step.
If you indicated that your base
is an uneven scale, you need to
take the extra step of placing
the calibration box on top
of the scale. Then touch the
checkmark to continue.

7 Zero Height continued
It is important to keep
DimStation’s base clear and
unobstructed during zero
height calibration, so that it can
set Zero Height accurately.
8 Zero Height continued
Please stand clear before the
countdown completes.

9 Zero Height continued
Zero height has been set.
If you used the calibration
object, remove it from the
base. Touch the checkmark to
continue.
10 Set the Scan Zone
The Scan Zone is the area in
which DimStation looks for
and dimensions items. For
best performance, adjust this
to cover the largest area
possible that can be used for
scanning items and kept clear
of all other objects.
18
Adjust the scan area by
dragging each of the four
touch points. Then touch the
checkmark to continue.

11 Complete setup
Touch the checkmark to begin
using your QubeVu DimStation.
12 Confirm calibration
Test whether your DimStation
is properly calibrated by placing
the calibration object on the
base or scale and checking the
displayed dimensions.
Dimensions should be:

Congratulations. Your QubeVu
DimStation is ready to use!
• Retain QubeVu packaging. When
transporting your unit, always
disassemble and pack it in its
original packaging.
Please keep these important
precautions in mind when using
your new DimStation.
Failure to adhere to them will
invalidate your warranty, and
resulting damage may lead to
repair or replacement charges.
• Use only supplied power adapter.
Never short-circuit the power
adapter or the QubeVu device.
• Keep dry.
• Operate between 5 and 40ºC.
• Never remove QubeVu’s head
cover, or the electrical connection
panels at the base of the pole
assembly.
• Never modify or attempt to
repair your unit. Service must
be performed only by Postea
personnel.
• Handle cables and cable
connectors with care. Never use
damaged power cords and plugs
or loose electrical sockets, or touch
the power cord with wet hands.
• Ensure that the base plate, pole
assembly and head unit are
all securely attached before
attempting to move your unit.
• Never lift QubeVu by grasping only
the pole assembly; always ensure
that both sections of the pole
assembly and the base plate are
supported.
• Never drop or allow an impact to
QubeVu’s head.
• Mount on a flat surface.
• Never use QubeVu for anything
other than its intended purpose.

Advanced configuration with
QubeVu Manager
QubeVu Manager is an optional set of software tools provided to enable advanced configuration. They are not
needed in most cases. They are recommended for use only by a technical systems administrator.
This introduction is not intended as a replacement for complete documentation. Please refer to the QubeVu
Manager Guide for a complete guide to the tools. The latest version of the Manager Guide, along with all other
product documentation, can be downloaded from Postea at postea.com/downloads.
Define QubeVu on your Network
QubeVu Manager is accessed via QubeVu’s IP address over a wired Ethernet connection. To access the tools your
QubeVu must be defined on your network.
QubeVu can be installed as a network device and can be configured with a static IP address or using DHCP. Talk to
your network administrator to determine the best approach for your enterprise network.
QubeVu is shipped with a dual IP configuration. The network interface will lease an IP address from any available
DHCP server. However, it also has a fixed, fail-safe IP address of 169.254.1.1. If your prefer to use DHCP, your
network administrator can advise you as to the IP address leased by QubeVu.
Configure PC network settings to connect to QubeVu on 169.254.1.1
• Connect QubeVu to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable
• Configure your computer’s Ethernet interface with an IP address of 169.254.1.10.
Consult with your network administrator if you are unsure how to change your computer’s IP address.
Verify connectivity
• Verify that you can communicate with QubeVu from your computer.
• Use the “ping” command to confirm connectivity.
• ping 169.254.1.1.
If the ping command does not show QubeVu is responding this may be due to an issue with your network
configuration. Make sure that wireless networking is turned o and then try the ping command again. If this is still
unsuccessful contact your network administrator for further assistance.
Access QubeVu Manager
To view the QubeVu Manager home page, open an Internet browser and enter http://169.254.1.1. If you are using
DHCP, remember to replace 169.254.1.1 with the IP address provided by your network administrator.
The default credentials for QubeVu Manager are:
Username: admin
Password: password
