CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
Introduction
2D bar codes have made their way to the Point of Sale (POS), appearing on everything from customer purchased
items to printed and electronic coupons and loyalty card s. 1D scann ers cannot capture the new 2D codes, leading
to exceptions that slow down the check-out process. The DS2278 digital imager scanner scans both 1D and 2D
bar codes and does not compromise performance or features.
The DS2278 is easy to deploy, easy to use, and easy to manage - delivering affordable simplicity with its
hands-free/hand-held design.
Figure 1-1 DS2278 Digital Scanner
1 - 2 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Interfaces
The DS2278 digital scanner cradle supports:
• USB connection to a host. The digital scanner automatically detects the USB host interface type and uses
the default setting (USB Keyboard HID). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, select another
USB interface type by scanning programming bar code menus. See Appendix B, Country Codes for the
interface supported international keyboards (for Windows® environment).
• Standard RS-232 connection to a host. The digital scan ner automatically detects the RS-232 host interface
type and uses the default setting (Standard RS-232). If the default (*) does not meet your requir ements,
select another RS-232 interface type by scanning programming bar co de menus.
• Connection to IBM 468X/469X hosts. The digital scanner automatically detects the IBM host interface type
but does not select a default setting. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner
with the IBM terminal.
• Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. The digital scanner
automatically detects the Keyboard Wedge host interface type and uses the default setting (IBM AT
Notebook). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, scan IBM PC/AT & IBM PC Compatibles on
page 12-4. See Appendix B, Country Codes for the interface supported international keyboards (for
Windows® environment).
• Configuration via 123Scan.
Unpacking
Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the digital scanner was damaged in
transit, contact support. See page xxii for information. KEEP THE P ACKING. It is the approved shipping container;
use this to return the equipment for servicing.

Cradle Features
NOTE For detailed information about connecting, using, and mounting the CR2278-PC cradle refer to the
documentation included with the crad le (CR2278-PC Presentation Cradle Quick Reference
Guide, p/n MN-002917xx).
The CR2278-PC cordless presentation cradle serves as a charger, radio communication interface, and host
communication interface for the DS2278 cordless digital scanner.
The presentation cradle sits on a desktop and charges the DS2278 cordless digital scanner while allowing bar
code scanning in presentation mode. This cradle also provides host communication by receiving digital scanner
data via a Bluetooth radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. The cable provides power
to the cradle from the host or optional power supply if supported.
For more information about communication between the digital scanner, cradle, and host, see Chapter 6, Radio
Communications.

Connecting the Cradle
Via Host Connection (for Charging and Communication)
1. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source, if necessary. This ensures
detection of the host and prevents inadvertently back powering the cradle from impro pe r dete ctio n of the host.
2. Insert the interface cable into the host port.
3. Insert the interface cable into the cradle's ho st port.
4. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if Pair on Contacts is enabled) or by
scanning the pairing bar code.
5. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces).
Via Wall Outlet Using a Power Adapter (for Charging Only)
1. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source.
2. Insert the interface cable into the cradle's ho st port.
3. Pair the digital scanner directly to the host device (PC, Smartphone, or Tablet).
Changing the Host Interface
To connect to a different host, or to the same host through a different cable:
1. Unplug the interface cable from the host.
2. Unplug the power supply from the host cable, if required.
3. Connect the interface ca ble to the new host, or the new interface cable to the existing host.
4. Reconnect the power supply, if required.
5. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces).
Using a DC Power Supply
There is no separate power jack on the cradle. The cradle can operate from host supplied power, if available. If
host power is limited or not available, an external DC power supply can be used with certain host interface cables
that support a power jack. An external power supply is recommended if fastest charging is required. See host
interface chapters for connections.
CAUTION Always disconnect the DC power supply BEFORE disconnecting the cable to the host end or the
cradle may not recognize the new host.
Charging the DS2278 Battery
When using a new battery in the DS2278, the battery may require a charge to be enabled. See Charging the
DS2278 Battery on page 1-5.
NOTES 1. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before first use.
2. Charge time depends on the host type and power source.
3. The CR2278-PC passes 5V to the digital scanner which charges the battery. The charging system on
the DS2278 charges the battery with as much current as possible based on the power source of the
CR2278-PC. This way the input power source is never overloaded and the charge time is made as
short as possible. Charge times lengthen as scanning activity increases when a DS2278 operates in
presentation mode on a CR2278-PC cradle. To optimize charge performance, ensure the digital
scanner is oriented to minimize accidental scan activation.
Getting Started 1 - 5
CAUTION The battery does not charge when the temperature is above 40°C (104°F). When scanning in
presentation mode at temperatures above 40°C (104°F), the battery drains until the temperature drops.
When the battery charge is consumed the digital scanner stops scanning until the temperature drops
and the battery has sufficient time to charge.
To avoid temperature related faults, charge the battery and operate the DS2278 in presentation mode
on a CR2278-PC only within the recommended 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) range, and ideally within
5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
Charging Using the Cradle
Insert the battery in the DS2278 and place the DS2278 in the CR22 78-PC cradle (see Inserting the Digital Scanner
in the Cradle on page 1-9). The digital scanner b oots and the cradle LED begin s flashing green to indicate the start
of normal charging.
See Beeper and LED Indications on page 3-1 for detailed LED indicator information.
1 - 6 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Charging Using the Micro USB Cable
The Micro USB cable is a charge only cable.
NOTE For best performance, we recommend using Zebra accessories.
Figure 1-4 Micro USB Connections
Connect the Micro USB connector to the DS2278. Connect the standard USB connector to a PC or a USB wall
outlet. The digital scanner enumerates as a CDC devi ce when the USB connector is plu gged into a PC host. When
charging begins, the digital scanner LED begins flashing green to indicate the start of normal charging.
Converting a CDC Device to HID
The digital scanner enumerates over USB as a CDC device, by default. If your host does not have a CDC driver, a
delay occurs between connecting the digital scanner to the host and the start of charging. To eliminate the delay

Hands-Free Scanning
The digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it sits in the CR2278-PC cradle. During idle
conditions the digital scanner operates in object detection mode, where it automatically wakes up to decode a bar
code presented in the field of view. In object detection mode it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be dimly lit.
To scan:
1. Ensure all connections are secure (see appropriate host chapter).
2. Present the bar code in the digital scanner field of view.
3. Upon successful decode, the dig ital scanner beeps and the LED flashes green. (For more information about
beeper and LED definitions, Beeper and LED Indications on page 3-1).

Aiming with Digital Scanner
Aiming
When scanning, the digital scanner projects a red scan line which allows positioning the bar code within its field of
view, omnidirectionally. See Decode Ranges on page 3-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital
scanner and a bar code.
Figure 3-3 Scanning Orientation with Aiming Line
The aiming line is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the
symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger
bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.
The digital scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the bar code. For more informa tion see Table 3-1

Introduction
You can program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
user preference features and provides programming bar co des for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 5-1 on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default
Parameters for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when th e sca nn e r po wer s do wn .
If not using the default host, select the host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the
power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, see Default Parameters on page 5-5. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks indicate (
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars
and/or spaces do not merge.
*) default values.
5 - 2 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter va lue. For example, to set the beep er tone to high , scan
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 5-8. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Timeout or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several
bar codes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct para meter.
User Preferences/Miscellaneous Options Parameter Defaults
Table 5-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. Change these values in one of two ways:
• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapte r. The new value replaces the standard default value in
memory. To recall default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 5-5.
• Configure the scanner using the 123Scan
Tools.

Setting value must be three digits.
For example, a setting value of 100 results in the scanner turning off approximately 1 second after an object is
removed from the field of view or 10 seconds while an object is in the field of view moving.
The default value of the setting is 15 which results in a minimum time of 250 ms and maximum time of 2.5 seconds.
Adjust this setting based on your requirements. For example, when doing PDF prioritization, this pa rameter shoul d
be set to a value where the maximum time is above the PDF prioritization timeout.
To set a three digit value scan the following bar code, and then scan three bar codes from Appendix G, Numeric
Bar Codes. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel on

COMMUNICATIONS
Introduction
This chapter provides information about the modes of op eration and fea tures available for wire less communication
between the DS2278 cordless digital scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters
necessary to configure the digital scanner.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Comm unication Default Table on page 6-2 (also see
Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is
not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when th e dig ita l scan ne r po we rs down.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars
and/or spaces do not merge.
If not using the default host, select the host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the
power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan a bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-5. Throughout the
programming bar code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
6 - 2 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to enable HID Function Key
Mapping, scan the Enable HID Function Key Mapping bar code listed under HID Function Key Mapping on page
6-19. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter
entry.
Other parameters, such as Bluetooth Friendly Name, require scanning several bar codes. See the parameter
descriptions for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct para meter.
Radio Communications Parameter Defaults
Table 6-1 lists the defaults for radio communication parameters. Change these values in one of two ways:
•
Scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapte r. The new value replaces the standard default value in
memory. To recall default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 5-5.
•
Configure the digital scanner using the 123Scan configuration program. See Chapter 2, 123Scan and
Software Tools.
NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preference, host, symbology, and
miscellaneous default parameters.
