  • Page 8: Preface

    Preface This user's manual sets forth the procedures for handling, connecting, operating, and cleaning your bar code handy scanner. Before you do anything else, study it carefully to make sure that you use the product both correctly and effectively. Also keep it handy for ready reference.

  • Page 9: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Be sure to observe all these safety precautions. Please READ through these instructions carefully. They will enable you to use the scanner correctly. Always keep this manual nearby for speedy reference. Strict observance of these warnings and cautions is a MUST for preventing accidents that could result in bodily injury and substantial property damage.
  • Page 10 To System Designers: • When introducing the scanner in those systems that could affect human lives (e.g., medicines management system), develop applications carefully through redundancy and safety design which avoids the feasibility of affecting human lives even if a data error occurs. Handling the battery cartridge Wrong handling of the battery cartridge could result in a heat, smoke, explosion, or fire.
  • Page 11 Handling the scanner Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a scanner failure, heat, or smoke. Be sure to observe the following. • If using the hand strap or neck strap, exercise due care to avoid getting them caught in other objects or entangled in rotating machinery.
  • Page 12 Handling the AC adapter Wrong handling of the AC adapter could result in a failure, heat, or smoke. Be sure to observe the following. • Do not scratch, modify, bend, twist, pull, or heat the AC adapter cable. Do not place heavy material on the cable or allow the cable to get pressed under heavy material.
  • Page 13 Handling the scanner and AC adapter Wrong handling of the scanner or AC adapter could result in a failure, heat, or smoke. Be sure to observe the following. • Never disassemble or modify the scanner or AC adapter; doing so could result in an accident such as break or fire.
  • Page 14 • If you are not using the scanner for a long time, be sure to remove the battery cartridge for safety. Failure to do so could result in a fire. • When unplugging the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, hold the connector housing not the cable.

  • Page 25: Chapter 3 Reading Bar Codes

    The effective scan range depends on the model and the distance from the scanner to the target. GT10B-SB: approximately 10 cm (3.94") for a scan distance of 7 cm (2.76") GT10B-LB: approximately 17 cm (6.69") for a scan distance of 18 cm (7.09") Note: Having more than one bar code within the field of view either causes the read to fail or produces multiple input.
  • Page 26 Reading RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols The scanner reads RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols in two steps. In the 1st step, it scans either one of the 1st and 2nd rows of the target symbol and accumulates the data in itself. In the 2nd step, it scans the remaining row, edits the 1st and 2nd row data read, and then sends the data to the host.
  • Page 27 Switching to sleep mode for power saving After completion of scanning, the scanner switches from standby to sleep mode to save power. The scanner in sleep mode takes more time to start and complete a sequence of scanning operation than the one on standby. Select the transition period from standby to sleep mode to meet your scanning intervals, using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

  • Page 28: Chapter 4 Customizing The Scanner

    (This software also offers batch-process bar code printouts for read by scanners in the field.) * Registered users can download the configuration software (ScannerSetting) from QBdirect, their customer support section on the Denso Wave website at no extra charge.

  • Page 29: Chapter 5 Scanning Control

    Chapter 5 Scanning Control Two types of scanning controls are available—Trigger switch control and Software control. Trigger switch control: Pressing the trigger switch readies the scanner for scanning. Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the USB-COM interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby.

  • Page 30: Software Control

    Software Control You can control the scanner by sending scanning control commands from the host computer, instead of pressing the trigger switch. Scanning control commands include R, READON, LON, RC, Z, READOFF and LOFF and they are restricted by the trigger switch operating mode, as listed below.

    Note: Given below is a guide for scanning EAN-13 symbols in auto sensing mode under these conditions: At the center of the effective scan range and at the ambient illuminance of 500 lux or higher. GT10B-SB: Scan distance of approx. 21 cm (8.27") GT10B-LB: Scan distance of approx. 40 cm (15.75") Note: It is sometimes necessary to vary the scanning angle or distance to eliminate reflections of the illumination and ambient light off highly reflective labels.

  • Page 33: Reading With Scanner Mounted On Charger

    Reading with Scanner Mounted on Charger A setting enables read operation with the scanner mounted on the charger, drawing its power from the charging pins, so reading can continue regardless of the battery cartridge's charge level. The following table shows how the trigger switch operating mode affects charging while this function is in use. Momentary switch mode 1, for example, allows charging during standby intervals between reads.

  • Page 34: Chapter 6 Magic Key Control

    Chapter 6 Magic Key Control ® Holding down the magic key breaks Bluetooth wireless links. Note that, in the data verification mode, it cannot break those links since the magic key is used to register master data. The magic key can also act as an auxiliary key for scanning or data transfer. You can assign any of the following five functions or no function at all to the magic key.
  • Page 35 The following table lists the relationship between the magic key functions and trigger switch operating modes. (It applies to both the regular read mode and data verification mode.) The "--" indicates that the scanner ignores the magic key functions assigned. In auto-off mode 1, for example, the ready/standby switching function is ignored. Trigger switch operating modes Auto sensing Momentary...

  • Page 36: Chapter 7 Scanning Functions

    Chapter 7 Scanning Functions Data Verification Mode The data verification mode verifies the bar code data read against the master data stored in the scanner and reports the match status with data output. Data verification read is available in two types--"n-point verification" and "2-point verification." Selecting the n-point verification requires registering master data only one time for 1:n verification.
  • Page 37 2-point verification read After registration of master data, the scanner reads a bar code, verifies the bar code data read against the master data and then becomes ready to register new master data. - Switch to the data verification mode. Use the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software.
