OUT-OF-THE-BOX PLUG & PLAY SETTINGS

Each Smart-ScanTM scanner is pre-configured with the following
settings. Users can reconfigure and save as a new default (see page 3).

USB Keyboard Wedge Operation – Plug the USB cable into your PC and
begin entering data as you would with your keyboard. Windows, Mac,
and Linux OS are bundled with the drivers to support Smart-ScanTM.

Default Smart-ScanTM Operation Mode –
UID syntax validation, raw UID output, no error reporting.

Prefix & Suffix – An <Enter> key is added to each scan to advance the
PC cursor either to the next line, field, or spreadsheet cell.

UID ‘Non-printable’ Characters – Use of a Unicode font type in your
software application will allow display of ASCII (4, 29, 30) as ♦,↔,▲ .
Note: Programs such as Excel may misinterpret these characters as
macro commands depending on the keyboard NUM LOCK state .

Default Bar Code Types Supported – Smart-ScanTM performance is
enhanced by limiting scanner support to only those symbologies
commonly found in industrial settings. Refer to the Code Corp User
manual for changes.

SMART-SCANTM FOR NON-DISPLAY MODELS

Smart-ScanTM enhances factory functionality for the following models:

SCANNER OVERVIEW

Bar Code scanners provide the same function as your PC’s keyboard. As
you insert the USB cable between a Smart-ScanTM scanner and PC, the
PC will recognize this hardware as a “2nd keyboard”. Smart-ScanTM
works with existing keyboard drivers under MS Windows, Mac, Linux OS.

Use the same common sense as you do with a standard PC keyboard.

• Make sure your cursor is in the proper software window and data

field BEFORE you begin scanning (or typing).

• A keyboard <Shift> or <Caps Lock> “mode” will result in different

keystroke output. Similarly, you will need to know which Smart­ScanTM application “mode” you are using prior to pulling the trigger
(Raw Output, Smart-UID, Smart-Lookup, Smart-Web, etc.).

THE SMART-SCANTM DIFFERENCE

Smart-ScanTM makes standard bar code scanners more versatile, at
lower support costs, and with data filtering and analysis capabilities
never before possible. It is the only bar code scanner today that
provides out-of-the-box data syntax validation of Department of
Defense UID data matrix bar codes.

SMART-SCANTM OPERATION MODES

Smart-ScanTM currently supports four operation modes, Most users
will only use a single default mode for their daily work, but can quickly switch
modes by scanning one of the square barcodes from the following list:

Smart-UID

operates only on data matrix codes, analyzing them for

compliance to the UID content requirements of MIL-STD-130. Valid
UID scans can be formatted via 4 different output ‘modes’ – plus toggled
options for Error Reporting and/or ATA Spec2000 conversions.

Raw UID

-

Actual

characters within

a

UID bar code

UID Error Reporting

ON/OFF Toggle

Formatted UID

–

Removes appended

data & resets to EID/PN/SN order

Concatenated UII

-

Formatted for

DOD Registry use

Spec 2000 S

upport

ON/OFF Toggle

Parsed UID

–

User defined output

(see uidscanner.com)

The following beep sequences tell users what was scanned:
(1)=Valid UID; (2)=Valid P/N; (1+2)=Valid UID with ‘appended’ data.
(4)=Invalid Code – no output unless Error Reporting is used.

Raw Output

should be used if you need to scan Data Matrix bar

codes that do NOT use the MIL-STD-130 syntax requirements

Smart-Lookup

performs a standard “Data Cross-Reference” from

the scan value, using a simple user-defined text file database. Refer

to www.uidscanner.com for details.

Smart-Web

performs an automated web browser search based

on an analysis of the scan data for length, type, etc. Currently
supported data scans include:

• Tracking numbers from FedEx or UPS

• Valid Federal National Stock Number or Part Number

• Valid Vendor Cage Code

Return to Factory ‘CodeViewer’ Mode :

Although we believe you’ll

prefer Smart-Scan, users can scan this code to return to Code Corp’s
base “CodeViewer” functionality (refer to Code Manuals for use).

SMART-SCANTM BASIC SETUP

Here are some quick configuration changes should the ‘as-shipped’
defaults not meet your needs. Smart-ScanTM technology offers users the
quickest and most flexible means of configuring prefix/suffix, and custom UID
parsing. Complete documentation is available at www.uidscanner.com

To Change Default Power-Up Operation Mode : Scan the desired Operation

Mode from the facing page. Then scan this barcode to set this
mode as the new default upon power-up.

Current prefix,

suffix, and other relevant mode settings are also saved.

Prefix/Suffix : Commonly, users exclude prefix but add a suffix such as –

<None> <Enter> <Tab>

UID Parsing Options : Smart-UID offers users the ability to output up to 16

different formatted UID parameters: (see www.uidscanner.com )

• Output String Formatting: <Enter>, <Tab>

• UID Data: Raw UID, Formatted UII

• UID Parameters: Format, Construct, IAC

• UID Data Segment Prefixes & Values: Vendor, PN, Sequence

• Time/Date ‘Stamp’

• Support for non-UID Part Number bar codes.

Other UID Parsing Examples –

S/N only Raw <Tab> UII ‘Full’ Report

CR2500 Batch Upload: After gathering data via a cordless CR2500,

connect scanner & PC via a USB cable, position the cursor where
the data should be inserted, and scan this code to upload the data.
