Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a
lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner
ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time.
In addition to single-line laser scanning, the scanner supports multi-line rastering. Multi-line rastering allows the
scanner to capture stacked GS1 DataBar codes and increases angular tolerances, minimizing product orientation
and hand movements. Multi-line rastering also allows the scanner to read poor quality bar codes. For more
information about scanning modes and stacked GS1 DataBar codes, see Scan Pattern on page 4-6 and GS1
DataBar on page C-3.
NOTE The scanner does not currently support PDF417 bar codes and its variants.

Unpacking
Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, call the
Zebra Center . See page xiii for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container
and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be return for servicing.

Installing the Interface Cable
To connect the interface cable:
1. Insert the interface cable’s modular connector clip into the cable interface port on the bottom of the scanner
handle. (See Figure 1-2.).
2. Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is properly secured.
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host. (See the specific host chapter for information on host
connections.)

Installing the Cable
NOTE Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are
examples only. Actual connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the
scanner remain the same.

Removing the Interface Cable
To remove the interface cable:
1. Unplug the installed cable’s modular connector by depressing the connector clip with the tip of a screwdriver.
2. Carefully slide out the cable.
3. Follow the steps for Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3 to connect a new cable.
Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface
NOTE Refer to the Synapse Interface Guide provided with the Synapse cable for detailed setup instructions.
Zebra’s Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable has the
built-in intelligence to detect the host to which it is connected.
Connecting Power (if required)
Figure 1-3
1. Plug the Synapse adapter cable (p/n 25-32463-xx) into the bottom of the scann er, as described in Installing the
Synapse Cable Connection
Interface Cable on page 1-3.
2. Align the ‘S’ on the Synapse adapter cable with the ‘S’ on the Synapse Smart Cable and plug the cable in.
3. Connect the other end of the Synapse Smart Cable to the host.
If the host does not provide power to the scanner, an external power connection to the scanner is required. To
connect power:
1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable on page
1-3.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (refer to the host manual to locate the correct port).
3. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the interface cable. Plug the other end of the power supp ly into
an AC outlet.

Configuring the Scanner
To configure the scanner, use the bar codes included in this manual, or the 123Scan configuration program.
See Chapter 4, User Preferences, Chapter 12, Intrusion Protection System Symbologies and Chapter 13,
Miscellaneous Scanner Options for information about programming the scanner using bar code menus. Also see
each host-specific chapter to set up a connection to a specific host type.
See Chapter 11, 123Scan to configure the scanner using this configuration program. A help file is available in the
program.

Beeper Sequence Indication
Scanner gives a power-up beep after
scanning a USB Device Type.
This power-up beep occurs more
than once.

LED Definitions
In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2
defines LED colors that display during scanning.

Standard LED Definitions
Communication with the bus must be established before the
scanner can operate at the highest power level.
The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to the
scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is normal and
usually happens when the host cold boots.

Scanning in Hand-Held Mode
Install and program the scanner (see Setting Up the Scanner on page 1-3). For assistance, contact the local
supplier or Zebra Support.
To scan in hand-held mode:
1. Ensure all connections are secure. (See the host chapter for the scanner.)
2. Aim the scanner at the bar code.
3. Press the trigger.
Figure 2-2
4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. (For more information about beeper
Scanning in Hand-Held Mode
and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.)
NOTE Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected (see Scan Line Width on page 4-7). A
full scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or
pick-lists.

Aiming
On a typical UPC 100% hold the scanner between contact and 19 inches from the symbol (see Decode Zone on
page 2-9). When scanning using a single-line scan mode, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the
symbol.
Figure 2-3
Acceptable and Incorrect Single-Line Aiming
When scanning using a multi-line scan mode, at least one scan line must cross every bar a nd space of the symbol.

Figure 2-4
Acceptable and Incorrect Multi-Line Aiming
Regardless of the scan mode, the scan line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it
is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) clos er to the scanner, and those
with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar
code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult.
NOTE Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected. A full scan line width is the default.
Medium and short scan line widths ar e use ful for scanning menus or pick-lists.
For more information about scan line widths and scanning modes, see Scan Line Width on page 4-7 and Scan
Pattern on page 4-6, respectively.

Scanning in Hands-Free Mode
The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s
“cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. Wh en the scanner is removed from the
stand, it automatically switches modes to operate in its normal hand-held triggered mode.

Scanning with Intellistand
When the scanner is placed in the Intellistand, the scan pattern selected in hand-held triggered mode continues
(see Scan Pattern on page 4-6).
To operate the scanner in Intellistand:
1. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the ap propriate host chapter for information on h ost
connections).
2. Insert the scanner in Intellistand by placing the front of the scanner into the stand’s “cup.”

3. Use the Intellistand’s adjustment knobs to adjust the height and angle of the scanner.
4. Present the bar code.

Inserting the Scanner in the Intellistand
NOTE When the bar code is in view, the scanner emits a full scan line. After 3 minutes, the scanner
automatically switches to a reduced scan line. After 1 hour, the scanner automatically switches to blink
mode.
