1 Gettting Started 1.1 Introduction MT8200S is a 2D handheld scanner capable of decoding major 2D barcodes as well as all major 1D barcodes. It is designed to achieve the efficient and affordable barcode scanning solution. This cost-effective, reliable handheld scanner is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including ticketing, access control, mobile payment and manufacturing.
You can create your own custom default. Scan Save Custom Default configuration barcode below and the entire current settings of MT8200S will be saved to your custom default, with previous custom default, if any, being overwritten. Scan Custom Default to reset MT8200S to the custom default settings.
2 Interface MT8200S supports two interfaces, USB HID and USB VCP. The following paragraph offers user all the functions related to the two interfaces. 2.1 USB HID Scanning below configuration barcode will set MT8200S to USB HID interface, in which data is transferred in HID keyboard format.
*1ms 10ms 15ms Below configuration barcodes allow you to enable/disable CapsLock. *Off 2.2 USB VCP Scanning below configuration barcode will set MT8200S to USB VCP interface, in which data is transferred via virtual COM port. USB VCP - 4 -...
In Trigger Mode MT8200S will start scanning when trigger button is pressed and stop scanning after trigger button is released or a barcode is successfully decoded. *Trigger Mode In Trigger Mode MT8200S can enter Deep Sleep after a period of inactivity once this function is enabled. Enable Deep Sleep...
In Continuous Mode MT8200S scans barcode continuously without the need of pressing trigger button. After a successful decode, MT8200S waits for a period of time (configurable) before the next scan starts. A press to the trigger button will prompt MT8200S to stop scanning; another press will prompt MT8200S to start scanning again.

Scan Interval Scan Interval is the period of time between one Scan Period and another. MT8200S stops scanning within Scan Interval, which is configurable from 0 to 25.5 seconds (unit = 0.1 sec); by default Scan Interval is 1 second.
Auto-sensing Mode Scan Period Scan Period is a period of time during which MT8200S tries capturing any barcode within range. Scan Period terminates when a barcode is successfully decoded or this pre-set period of time has elapsed. Afterwards MT8200S enters Scan Interval, during which MT8200S stops scanning and detects image change only.

Same Code Interval is the period of time between two consecutive scans on the same barcode. It prevents MT8200S from scanning the same barcode twice within a pre-set period of time. Please refer to Same Code Interval under 3.2 Continuous Mode chapter for configuration barcodes.
4 Centering Use Centering to narrow MT8200S’s field of view to make sure that it scans only those barcodes intended by the user. *Centering Off Centering On Centering Window Centering Window is an area at the center of whole image. The size of Centering Window is set in proportion to that of the whole image, with a configurable range from 1 to 100%;...

You may also use Set Centering Window Size to modify Centering Window to a specific size. Set Centering Window Size Example: Set Centering Window Size to 50% 1. Find the Hexadecimal equivalent ‘32’ to the Decimal value ‘50’ using ASCII Table (see Appendix 2.
5 Illumination and Aimer 5.1 Illumination Illumination increases the image quality, making it easier for MT8200S to decode barcodes when ambient light is relatively low. Normal (Default): Illumination only turns on during scanning. Always On: Illumination keeps as long as MT8200S is powered on.
6 Buzzer and Output 6.1 Buzzer - General Below configuration barcodes allow you to adjust buzzer pitch (frequency): Buzzer Pitch - Low *Buzzer Pitch - Medium Buzzer Pitch - High Below configuration barcodes allow you to mute/unmute buzzer: Mute *Unmute 6.2 Buzzer - Good Read Below configuration barcodes allow you to enable/disable Good Read beep indication.

7.5 Truncate MT8200S can output part of the barcode data with Truncate function. Based on Truncate’s logic, each barcode data is divided into 3 parts: 【Start】 【Center】 【End】 Among them, the length of Start and End is configurable. Below configuration barcodes allow you to decide which part of barcode data to output.
Page 27
To output Start only: Example: Barcode data is ‘1234567890123ABC’ ; you want to output the first 13 digits ‘1234567890123’. 1. Find the Hexadecimal equivalent ‘0D’ to the Decimal value ‘13’ using ASCII Table (see Appendix B) 2. Make sure Barcode Configurability is enabled (see Chapter 1.2.1) 3.
