Product Overview
V520-LHA7127 Series Fixed Position Scanners are miniature, 700 scans per second, bar code readers
designed to be easily incorporated into host equipment. CCD Scanning technology features 100% solid state
design with absolutely no moving parts. Durability and reliability are assured.
Advanced 32-bit microprocessor technology coupled with Omron's proven decoding algorithms result in high
speed operation with superior accuracy. The scanners are fully programmable allowing the user to customize
parameters including changing communication settings, selecting symbologies, adding prefixes and appending
suffixes. Programmable settings can be downloaded from the host CPU or computer directly to the scanner.
The series V520-LHA7127 scanners are encased in compact, rugged steel enclosures. The compact size
permits installation in the tightest areas. Scanners are available in both front and side view configurations
allowing great flexibility in mounting and positioning the scanner for optimum performance.
Quick Start-Up Procedure
This section is for those who wish to start using the scanner before reading the complete manual. In only a few
steps the scanner will be operable.
Turn off the power to your PC and connect the scanner to an RS-232C communications port.
1. Using communications software (e.g., Procom), set the communication parameters: 9600 baud, 1 Start/
Stop Bit, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, No Handshaking, No Flow Control.
2. If you are operating in a Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment, skip to Step 5.
3. If you are operating in a Microsoft Windows 95/98 environment, you can set the communication parame-
ters using Hyper Terminal as follows:
• Open Hyper Terminal. This can be done from Start>Programs>Accessories/Communications.
• Select Hypertrm.exe to create a New Connection.
• In the Connection Description dialog screen enter a name for the new file. If desired, select an Icon. Click
OK.
• In the Connect To (Phone Number) dialog screen, in the box entitled: Connect using select the
communication port, for example, "Direct to Com 1". Click OK.
• In the Com 1 Properties screen, enter the appropriate Port Settings: Bit per second = 9600, Data bits = 8,
Parity = None, Stop Character = 1, Handshaking = None, Click OK.
• The hyper-terminal folder you just created will open. From the File pull-down menu, select Properties then
click on the Setting tab.
• In the Properties Settings dialog screen, Select Terminal keys for the Function, arrow and control key; then
select ANSI for Emulation; the Back scroll buffer line can remain at the default 500.
• Click on the ASCII Setup button. In the ASCII Setup screen, select Echo typed locally so that any keyboard
commands you input will appear on your screen. Click OK. This returns you to the Properties Setting. Click
OK.
4. Your PC and the scanner should now communicate. Skip to Step 6.
Note You must provide +5 Volt DC power to the scanner. This can be accomplished
using the power supply and patch cable available from Omron. If the power
supply is obtained from another source verify that it is identified with the CE
mark. Turn on the power to the PC.
