Installation
The QuickScan® QS6500 linear imager is easy to install and use.
The following figure shows the steps to perform an installation.
Turn off the host computer before connection. Consult the host
terminal’s manual if necessary.

1. Connect the interface (I/F) cable to the linear imager.
2. Connect the I/F cable to the terminal’s communication port.
3. Connect the power cord to the I/F cable connector if
required. Linear imagers that use power off the terminal
(P.O.T.) do not require a power supply.
4. If required, connect the AC adapter to the wall outlet.
$3.99

5. To verify operation, point the linear imager at a bar code and
pull the trigger. The linear imager should emit a single beep
indicating that the label has been scanned successfully.
The linear imager installation is complete.
Power Supply
Unit requires either a Listed Class 2 or Listed LPS power source
which supplies power directly to the linear imager.
Quick Reference Guide 1
How to Scan
The figure below shows the right and wrong ways to scan a bar
code.
1
2
1
2
1. The linear imager must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar
code so that the light reflected off the bar code can be “seen”
by the linear imager. Do not hold the linear imager perpendicular to the bar code.
2. The targeting beam must cross the entire label. The linear
imager cannot read the bar code data without seeing the
entire label.
Scanning PDF417 Bar Codes (PDF models ONLY)
To read a PDF417 bar code, aim the targeting beam at the top of
the bar code, and in a smooth motion, scan down through the bar
code. You will hear a series of
ticks, followed by a final beep
when the bar code’s content has
been completely decoded. You
may need to sweep the bar code
several times in order to complete the read.

Troubleshooting
If the linear imager is not operating properly, the following checks
should be performed:
1. Since the linear imager can receive its power from the host
computer (Power Off the Terminal—P.O.T.), it will not
operate without the system power on. If the linear imager
uses an external power supply and the external power supply
has failed, the linear imager will not operate.
2. If an external power supply is used, exchange the power supply with a known good power supply and retest the linear
imager.
3. If the linear imager receives power from the host (P.O.T.),
connect the linear imager to a known good host and retest.

4. Verify that the interface cable is securely attached to the host.
Consult your technical support personnel or refer to your
host system manual to verify the proper connection for the
linear imager.
5. Verify that the interface cable is securely attached to the linear imager.
6. Check that the labels are of sufficient quality to be recognized by the linear imager. Wrinkled, smudged, or torn
labels can cause the linear imager to not read at all. Scan a
known good label to check the linear imager's read operation.
Quick Reference Guide 3
7. Ensure that the linear imager's interface type is compatible
with the host terminal by consulting your POS system manual and/or the linear imager’s Product Reference Guide
found on the CD included with your linear imager.

Installation
Le lecteur de code à barres Linear Imager QS6500 est un linear imager de
poche facile à utiliser. Le schéma suivant illustre la procédure d’installation du imager. Eteignez l’ordinateur avant de connecter le imager. Consultez le manuel de l’ordinateur si nécessaire.

1. Connectez le câble d’interface (I/F) au imager.
2. Connectez le câble I/F au port de communication de l’ordinateur.
3. Connectez le cordon d’alimentation au câble I/F si requis. Les
imagers qui sont alimentés par l’ordinateur n’ont pas besoin d’une
autre source d’alimentation.
4. Si nécessaire, branchez l’adaptateur CA sur la prise murale.
5. Pour vérifier le fonctionnement, pointez le linear imager sur le code
à barres et appuyez sur la gâchette. Le linear imager doit émettre un
seul bip indiquant que l’étiquette a été déchiffrée correctement.

Procédure de lecture
Le dessin ci-dessous montre la bonne et la mauvaise façon de
scanner un code à barres.

1. Le linear imager doit être légèrement incliné par rapport au code à
barres afin que la lumière réfléchie sur le code peut être vue par le
linear imager. Ne pointez pas le linear imager perpendiculairement
au code.
2. Le faisceau lumineux doit balayer l'étiquette entièrement. Le linear
imager ne peut pas déchiffrer le code à barres sans avoir entièrement
parcouru l’étiquette.
Lecture des codes à barres PDF417 (Modèles PDF seulement)
Afin de lire les codes à barres PDF417, le faisceau lumineux doit balayer
le code à barres du haut vers le bas. Vous allez entendre une série de signaux sonores, suivie d’un bip final lorsque le code à barres aura été complètement déchiffré. Il peut être
nécessaire de balayer le code à plusieurs reprises pour en achever la
lecture.
