Introduction

Worth Data's LZ520-2D is a versatile bar code reader that can attach to any PC or Mac USB port. It can
also be used as an external reader for the Worth Data T7000 series of RF Terminals or T5000 series of
TriCoders. The USB keyboard interface provides bar code input data to any host computer program
exactly as if the data had been typed at the keyboard, including function and control key support.
LZ520-2D reader features include:

• Bar codes

The LZ520-2D automatically reads and discriminates between Code 39, Full ASCII Code 39,
Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, Chinese Post Matrix 2 of 5, Codabar, Code 128,
EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC (with or without supplements), GS1 DataBar, MSI, Code 93, Code 11, Plessey,
S-Code, POSTNET, Intelligent Mail Bar Code, Korean Postal Authority, IATA, Tri-Optic, Telepen, JPN
(Customer Bar Code), PDF417, Micro PDF417, Maxi Code, QR Code, Micro QR, Aztec Code, Aztec
Runes, Data Matrix, Codablock F and Chinese Sensible Code.

• PC Attachment

The LZ520-2D provides an easy-to-use USB keyboard interface for the PC or Mac. Scanned data is
displayed on the PC as keyboard data - transparent to the host application. No additional software is
required for operation or configuration.

• TriCoder / Terminal Attachment

When the LZ520-2D is configured with a serial cable it can be connected to a Worth Data T5000 series
TriCoder or T701 series Terminal. The Terminal or TriCoder will need to be configured to supply
power and accept data from the external LZ520-2D scanner. Refer to the TriCoder or Terminal manual
for more information on using the LZ520-2D scanner with these devices.

• Configuration is easy

The LZ520-2D reader is easily configured for your system by scanning a bar coded Setup Menu. Refer
to the LZ520-2D Setup Guide for detailed setup information. In most cases, the LZ520-2D will do
what you need without any changes to it's configuration.

Installation

Components of LZ520-2D Reader

In the event the shipping box shows damage on arrival, please note the damage on the carrier's receipt log. Open
the box and inspect the contents for damage. If there is visible damage, or if the unit fails to work, contact us
with the details of the trouble; we will be happy to send you a replacement.

The contents of your LZ520-2D reader shipment should include the following:

1. An LZ520-2D reader with either USB or serial cable attached.

2. A scanner holder.

3. A Utilities CD-ROM with Manuals & Setup Menus in PDF Format.

• USB Interface (PC and Mac)

The LZ520-2D reader is attached directly to the USB port of the computer. The Windows® or Macintosh®
operating systems provide the software required to access the USB port. Data coming from the scanner through
the USB port appears as keyboard data in your application. No power supply is required for the USB interface.

Simply plug the USB cable into any available USB port on your PC or powered HUB and the LZ520-2D should
power-up and be ready to use in a few seconds. It is not recommended to use non-powered hubs due to the high
power requirements of the LZ520-2D.

• Serial Interface (T5000 TriCoder and T701 Terminal)

The LZ520-2D can be used as an external reader with the Worth Data T5000 series of TriCoders and T701 series
of RF Terminals. On the TriCoder, the input device will need to be modified to instruct the T5000 to power up
the LZ520-2D reader and input data from the external reader. On the RF Terminal, the prompt will need to be
modified to power up the LZ520-2D and input data from the external reader. Refer to the T5000 and T701
manuals for specific information.

Chapter 2

Configuration

Configuration of the LZ520-2D Reader

The LZ520-2D is configured using the setup bar codes found in Appendix A. Most commands are of the single
entry type and only require a single command to enable or disable a feature or function. To change the
configuration of a setting start by scanning the “Start Setup” bar code followed by the bar code for the setting(s)
you wish to change and then the “End Setup” bar code. You will notice that once you read the “Start Setup” bar
code the LZ520-2D will enter setup mode and stay on until you scan the “End Setup” bar code.

When scanning setup bar codes (or just about any bar code for that matter) follow these tips for best results:

1) Since the LZ520-2D functions like a camera, holding the scanner steady will improve scanning results.

2) When more than one bar code is in the visible area of the scanner it is a good idea to cover the

“unwanted” bar codes to prevent them from being read by accident.

3) If you scan a setup code by accident and the scanner is not working properly but you're not sure what

you changed, it's best to scan the “Reset All Settings to Default” bar code and start over.

4) You will find that most bar codes read better when the scanner is angled slightly so that the light

reflected from the bar code does not “blind” the scanner. It's just like if you were to try to take a flash
picture of a piece of paper, when you do it straight on the flash bounces back and you get a lot of glare
but if you do it at a slight angle you get a nice picture.

5) Reading of high-resolution bar codes may require you to move the scanner closer to the bar code to get a

good read.

6) When reading a poor quality bar codes it is a good idea to put tighter limits on what the bar code reader

will allow to prevent errors in reading.

7) The LZ520-2D is an “Omnidirectional” bar code reader so bar codes can be read with any orientation or

rotation relative to the reader.

Warning: The setup codes in the LZ520-2D Setup Guide are for the LZ520-2D only. Do not use
these codes to setup the 2D scanner on a 2D integrated Terminal or TriCoder. Use the internal
menu to configure those units.
