  • Page 5: Preface

    Preface Please READ through this manual carefully. It will enable you to operate your scanner correctly. After you have finished reading this manual, keep it handy for speedy reference. Note: Do not use this scanner in an environment with electrical noise that can trigger malfunction. Note: Specifications described in this manual are supported by AT10Q Firmware version 1.01 or later.

  • Page 6: 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 7 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. •...
  • Page 8 • Never disassemble or modify the scanner; doing so could result in an accident such as break or fire. Doing so could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never disassemble • Do not put the scanner on an unstable or inclined plane. The scanner may drop, creating injuries.
  • Page 9 • When disconnecting the AC adapter from the wall socket, hold the AC adapter body not the power cable. The power cable may be broken, resulting in a burnt AC adapter, electrical shock, or fire. • If the interface cable is damaged (e.g., exposed or broken lead wires), stop using it and contact your nearest dealer.

  • Page 10: Care And Maintenance

    Care and Maintenance Dust or dirt accumulating on the clear plate of the code reading window will affect reading performance. If you use the scanner in dusty areas, therefore, periodically check the clear plate and clean it if dusty. • To clean the plate, first blow the dust away with an airbrush. Then wipe the plate with a cotton swab or the similar soft one gently.

  • Page 15: Using The Usb Interface

    3.2 Using the USB Interface The scanner receives and sends data from/to the host computer through the USB-COM interface or USB keyboard interface. You need to set up the device driver designed for the interface to be used. Notes for connecting the USB interface cable To use the USB-COM interface, you need to install the serial port driver to the host computer before connection of the USB interface cable.

  • Page 16: Setting Up The Usb-Com Interface

    The driver always serves as a virtual serial port even if a USB device is unplugged, so the driver always occupies a COM port number. The driver cannot coexist with conventional Denso USB-COM device drivers in a host computer. In the installation procedure, the Active USB-COM port driver requires uninstalling the conventional ones.
  • Page 17 (3) Check that the USB device (scanner) to be connected is not plugged in the computer, and then click OK. Note: When installing the serial port driver for the 2nd or the following USB devices on the same computer, check that none of those USB devices is plugged in the computer, and then click OK.
  • Page 18 (5) Wait for the caution message for driver's digital signature to appear, then click Continue Anyway to proceed. (6) After completion of installation of the driver files, click Finish. • To use two or more USB ports To use two or more USB ports, run the Setup.exe by the same number of times as the number of USB ports to be used. Running the Setup.exe once adds one COM port.
  • Page 19 (4) Select "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and click Next. (5) Wait for the wizard to start searching for the USB driver. (6) Wait for the USB driver to be found and for the caution message for driver's digital signature to appear, then click Continue Anyway to proceed.
  • Page 20 "Safe removal of hardware" on the Windows task tray When the USB device (scanner) is being connected, Windows shows the "Unplugging DENSO WAVE USB Device (COMx) in safety" on the task tray. This is useful to view the connection status of USB devices or disconnect those devices.

  • Page 21: Setting Up The Usb Keyboard Interface

    3.2.2 Setting up the USB keyboard interface The USB keyboard interface requires the USB device class driver for HID (Human Interface Device) which is included in Windows 98 or later Operating Systems and whose setup wizard will automatically run. You do not need to install the device driver.

  • Page 26: Chapter 6 Scanning Control

    Chapter 6 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. (Refer to Section 6.1.) Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the RS-232C or USB-COM interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby.

  • Page 27: Software Control

    6.2 Software Control You can control the scanner by sending scanning control commands from the host computer via the RS-232C or USB-COM interface, instead of pressing the trigger switch. Scanning control commands include R, READON, LON, Z, READOFF and LOFF and are restricted by the trigger switch operating modes, as listed below.

  • Page 28: Scanning On The Hands-Free Stand

    6.4 Scanning on the Hands-free Stand Putting the scanner on the hands-free stand (shown below) switches the scanner to the auto sensing mode automatically and temporarily, without selecting the auto sensing mode using the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The automatic switching function can be disabled with the configuration software.

  • Page 29: Chapter 7 Scanning Functions

    Chapter 7 Scanning Functions 7.1 Data Verification Mode The data verification mode verifies the 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," which can be selected with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
  • Page 30 2-point verification Scan master registration 1) Switch the scanner to the data verification mode and select the RS-232C or USB-COM interface. The indicator LED lights in green. 2) Use the scanner to scan a master code to be registered. (The scanner operates in the trigger switch operating mode currently set.) After the registration of master data, the indicator LED turns blue and then goes OFF.

  • Page 31: Specifying A Verification Object

    7.1.2 Specifying a verification object You can specify two types of verification objects--data string and data block. For data string verification, specify the verification start position and the number of characters to be verified. For data block verification, specify one of the data blocks delimited by commas in the CSV format.

  • Page 45: Data Substitution Mode

    7.2.2 Data substitution mode If the scanner reads a code specified by the "Code type" in this mode, it searches the data read for the specified string (max. 16 ASCII characters), substitutes it with the specified substitution string (max. 16 ASCII characters), and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 9, Section 9.4).

  • Page 46: Data Blocksorting Mode

    7.2.3 Data blocksorting mode The scanner splits code data read into a maximum of 5 blocks at the specified split positions, sorts those blocks in the specified order, and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see Chapter 9, Section 9.4). Note: The split position must be specified by the number of digits from the head of code data read.

  • Page 48: Point Scan Mode

    Point Scan Mode In the point scan mode, you can aim at a target code by matching up the center spot of the marker beam with that code. If there is no code at that center spot or the scanner cannot detect the marker beam due to high levels of ambient lighting, the scanner cannot read anything.

  • Page 49: Scanning Split Qr Code Symbols

    7.6 Scanning Split QR Code Symbols QR Code symbology can split data into a maximum of 16 blocks and encode each of them into a split QR Code symbol (model 1 or 2). Split QR Code scanning is possible only with the same QR Code model. The scanner can scan split QR Code symbols and restore them to the original data string in edit mode, batch edit mode, and non-edit mode, which you can select using the QR-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).
