----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quantity enter

User can disable the Quantity Enter and select Repeat Output mode or Output Quantity mode. When

Quantity Enter is enabled, user can set the number (0 to 9999) of barcode transmissions. For example, a

barcode “123456789” is read. When user select Repeat Output mode, Five “123456789” will be received

by the host, given that the quantity is 5. When user selects Output Quantity mode, “123456789, 5” will be

received by the host, given that the quantity is 5. The quantity decides how many identify barcodes a

host receives upon a single successful read.

Separator Setting- When user selects Output Quantity mode, the barcode and quantity will be

separated, the default separator is comma <,>. Separator Setting is Quantity enter-Output

Quantity-Options. By using the virtual keypad, user can input character manually. The length of the

separator string can be at most 10 characters.

The following steps demonstrate the procedure to set a quantity.

Step 1: Enable Quantity Enter, press the Scan Key to read a barcode.

Example display:

Step 2: Press Right Soft Key to the window below.

Step 3: Use Navigation Keys to move the cursor, Scan/Select Key to select number(s), Right Soft Key to

delete selected number(s). And then press Left Soft Key to continue.

Step 4: Finally press Left Soft Key to complete.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add Time/Date

The time/data information can be added as an appendix to a barcode by enabling the Add Time/Date.

For example:

When Add Time is enabled, a barcode “123456789” is read in 12:00:00, “123456789,12:00:00” will be

received by the host。

When Add Time and Add Date is enabled, a barcode “123456789” is read in 12:00:00 at 25.05.2012,

“123456789,12:00:00, 25.05.2012”will be received by the host

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Input barcode

Using the virtual keypad, user can input a barcode manually, and then send the barcode to the host or

store in the scanner.

Make sure a communication link (Bluetooth network or USB cable) is working.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Database management support

Database management support includes: database query, same barcode avoidance and barcode

statistic.

Note: database query, same barcode avoidance and barcode statistic are mutually exclusive. If

database query is enabled then same barcode avoidance and barcode statistic functions are disabled

automatically. Similarly if either same barcode avoidance or barcode statistic function is enabled then

other two functions are disabled automatically.

1 Database query

Database query includes: After successfully scanning the barcode, the barcode information would

be displayed on the LCD screen. The database query function demands the use of MS3 DB database

supporting software tool to generate database files: *.IDX and *.DAT. By applying the database query

functionality, the user can rapidly and accurately locate the barcode information.

When user scan the barcode, the scanner would perform a database searching upon the database

files stored in the flash disk and display the barcode information if matching is found when the database

query function is enabled. User would require scrolling to left or right for more information displayed on

the LCD screen. If no matching is found then “No Record” is displayed on the LCD screen.

Example:

User barcode information as follows:

A B C D

1 Barcode Trade Name Price Place of Production

2 12345670 Computer ￥3000.00 Shenzhen

When user scan the barcode ”12345670”, The scanner would display “Computer, ￥3000.00，

Shenzhen” on the LCD screen.

Note: The default database files are named SYS_DB.IDX and SYS_DB.DAT. In order to utilize the

database functionality user should NOT change these file names and these two files are properly stored

to the flash disk.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Avoid Duplication

When user scans the barcode, the scanner retrieves the database for a match in the meantime. If

the barcode does not exist in the database, the barcode will be recorded into the database file, sent out

or stored in USB Disk. Neither transmission nor store operation will be performed if a barcode already

exists in the database. Furthermore, the “Barcode already exists” message is displayed on the LCD

screen.

User can clear the previous barcode record by entering the same barcode avoidance setting menu

page and pressing the left soft key (clear).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 Barcode Statistics

The scanner will automatically count and display the number of barcodes which have been sent or

stored successfully when Barcode Statistics function is enabled.

User can clear the previous barcode record by entering the barcode statistic function setting menu

page and pressing the left soft key (clear).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transfer confirm

User can select to enable/disable the transfer confirm. When the scan is successful，The scanner

would point out that whether confirm to transfer this barcode. User can press left soft key to cancel

transfer or press right soft key to confirm transfer barcode data.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set Separator

The barcode and Time/Data/quantity will be separated by separator, the default separator is

comma <,>. By using the virtual keypad, user can input character manually. The length of the

separator string can be at most 10 characters.

Example1: A barcode “123456789” is read in 12:00:00 at 25.05.2012. When user selects Output

Quantity mode, “123456789, 5” will be received by the host, given that the quantity is 5.

123456789,5,12:00:00,25.05.2012

Example2: When user enables the Data Statistics, the barcode and quantity will be separated, the eighth

barcode is “123456789” in the example below.

123456789,8

5-2 Data Transfer

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bluetooth

See System Setting - Bluetooth for instructions to establish a Bluetooth network. Three options are

listed below.

Out of range batch- The scanner starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a remote

host (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered

by reestablishing the connection with the host (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks

back into range).

Auto reconnection- When scanner’s Bluetooth is power on, it will try to establish the wireless

connection with the host which it last connected, if Auto Reconnection is enabled.

Inter-char delay- Inter-character delay is abbreviated to Inter-char delay. This delay is inserted after

each data character transmitted when configure Bluetooth to HID keyboard profile. Some Bluetooth

communication needs large delay to avoid data missing. This default delay is set to 8 milliseconds.

BA2110 Connect Time- This is a standby time for the user to plug the BA2110 into PC after scanned

the barcode on the back of BA2110. The default standby time is set to 10 seconds. (For more detail,

please refers to 5-3-6 Configure the profile of BA2110).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USB HID keyboard

When the scanner is USB connected to a PC, it will be identified as a USB HID keyboard and behaves

as a USB wired scanner.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USB Virtual COM

When the scanner is USB connected to a PC, it will be identified as a USB Virtual COM and acts as a

RS-232 wired scanner.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U Disk

Barcode data is always stored in a text file (TXT file), that is, the scanner functions as a barcode data

collector. The scanner will be identified as a USB removable driver when it is USB connected to a PC.

The scanner decides target file to store barcodes according to following rules:

 If a file is selected by the user, the selected file will be the target file.

 If there is no file in the U-Disk, a file will be created and named “TARGET.txt” by the scanner when it

is powered on or restart. In this case, TARGET.txt will be the target file.

 The file selected to be the target file is labeled √.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Create New Files

Note:

1. Files can be opened/edited/saved/renamed/deleted by the user of a PC and

barcode, or a GS1 DataBar barcode can be substituted with a defined string.

Truncate leading G5 string setting: By setting, a defined leading character or string can be truncated.

Also a single character can be un-defined.

Repeat of a G5 character setting: While G5 is set as a single defined/un-defined character, G5 can also

be set to be repeated. This setting is ignored when the truncate number is more than the barcode data

characters. The option of “FF” for this setting is not active while the option of Truncate leading G5

string setting is “00”.

Example: Truncate all leading zeros for all symbologies.

Original code data “0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6”

Output code data “1 2 3 4 5 6”

Steps: scan the following data in order.

Testing barcode:

Truncate ending G6 string setting: By setting, a defined ending character or string can be truncated.

Also a single character can be un-defined.

Repeat of a G6 character setting: While G5 is set as a single defined/un-defined character, G6 can also be set to be repeated. This setting is ignored when the truncate number is more than the barcode data characters. The option of “FF” for this setting is not active while the option of Truncate ending G6 string setting is “00”. Single character C1/C2 replacement: By setting, a defined character in the data string can be replaced by another defined character. The C1 and C2 replacement are applied simultaneously.

Example: Replace all the “A” character in a data string to be “B” character.

Original code data “1 2 3 A 5 A”

Output code data “1 2 3 B 5 B”

Steps: scan the following barcodes in order. The ASCII value for “A” is 41, and the ASCII value for “B” is

42.

Notes to make the following barcode:

1. According to different barcode printing software, the method of printing following barcode is different.

2. If using CODESOFT software, firstly read the information through “Help→Index→Code128→Special input

syntax”. Also refer to ASCII table. For example, if we wish to make “F1” barcode, select “code128”, then

select “CODE A” type, and input “{DOC1}” as data.
