Introduction Worth Data's 530-2D-USB is a versatile bar code reader that can attach to any PC, Mac or Linux USB port as a HID USB Keyboard. The USB keyboard interface provides bar code input data to any host computer program exactly as if the data had been typed at the keyboard, including function and control key support.
The contents of your 530-2D reader shipment should include the following: 1. A 530-2D-USB bar code scanning gun with C45 USB cable attached. 2. A scanner holder.
Configuration Configuration of the 530-2D Reader The 530-2D is configured using the setup bar codes below. Most commands are of the single entry type and only require a single command to enable or disable a feature or function. It may be necessary to enable parameter scanning if parameter scanning has been disabled.
Set USB HID-Keyboard I/F and Reset All Settings to Default Warning: These setup codes in this manual are for the 530-2D-USB only. Do not use these codes to try to change the setup on the 510-2D, 520-2D-USB, 520-RF scanners or on for the 2D...

Enable/Disable Parameter Scanning: Parameter scanning (the scanning of setup bar codes) can be enabled or disabled by scanning one of the codes below: Lock/Unlock Parameter Scanning: This feature locks parameter settings with a 4-digit code to prevent changing parameter values by scanning parameter bar codes.
Beeper and LED Settings: Decode Beep The good decode beep can be enabled/disabled using these parameter bar codes. Note: parameter scanning beeps and error beeps cannot be disabled. Beep Tone The good decode beep tone can be set using these parameter bar codes. Beep Tone Duration The good decode beep duration can be set using these parameter bar codes.
Page 12
Power Up Beeps The power up beeps can be enabled/disabled using these parameter bar codes. Good Read Decode LED The good decode LED can be enabled/disabled using these parameter bar codes. Illumination Good Read LED The illumination LED can be used to indicate a good decode (direct decode indicator) using these parameter bar codes.
Trigger and Scan Mode Settings: Scan one of the following parameter bar codes to select a trigger mode for the gun. • Standard – A trigger press activates the gun and starts a decode process. Decode processing continues until the bar code decodes, the trigger is released or the decode process times out. •...
Picklist Mode Picklist Mode can be enabled/disabled using these parameter bar codes. Picklist Mode allows the scanning of bar codes that are close together. Only the bar code with the aiming dot on it will be decoded. You cannot disable the aiming dot when Picklist Mode is enabled. When Picklist Mode is enabled decode performance may be reduced and it may be more difficult to scan longer bar codes.
Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbol can be set using this parameter bar code. Use this setting along with Presentation Mode or Continuous Bar Code Read to set the delay between reading different bar codes. The value is programmable in 0.1 second increments with a range of 0.1 to 9.9 seconds.
Low Light Assist Low Light Assist Detection can be adjusted using these parameter bar codes. The illumination and aiming pattern can be disabled or dimmed for use in dim or dark environments. • No Low Light Scene Detection – The scanner attempts to detect motion as best it can with the aim pattern and illumination turned off when the scanner is idle.
Prefix & Suffix Parameters: The Prefix and Suffix parameters are used to add a prefix and/or suffix to the data output by the scanner. Terminator Character – Common Suffix The most common suffix, or Terminator Character, is the Enter Key (carriage return/line feed). Scan this bar code to set the Terminator Character suffix to Enter Key (enabled by default): Another popular suffix is the Tab Key.
Page 18
Prefix & Suffix Prefix & Suffix values can be set using the bar codes below. You can append a prefix and/or one or two suffixes to scan data output. The Enter Key terminator option above does not count as one of the two suffixes.
Page 19
Prefix & Suffix Transmission Format The Scan Data Transmission Format can be set using the bar codes below. One of the options must be selected to enable a prefix or suffix entered above. The default is transmit data as is without prefix or suffix.
USB Interface Settings: USB Keystroke Delay Scan one of the following bar codes to add a delay between keystroke data output by the scanner. Slower host computers may require a delay. Caps Lock Override USB Caps Lock Override – Enable Override Caps Lock Key to preserve the case of the data regardless of the state of the Caps Lock key.
Keypad Emulation Scan Enable Keypad Emulation to send all characters as ASCII key sequences from the numeric keypad. For example, scanning “A” would transmit “ALT down” 0 6 5 “ALT up”. Quick Keypad Emulation – Scan Quick Keypad Emulation for a quicker method of emulation where ASCII key sequences are only sent for ASCII characters not found on the keyboard.
Bar Code Setup: Enable/Disable All Code Types Scan Enable All Code Types to enable all symbologies. This is useful if you only need to disable a few code types. Scan Disable All Code Types to disable all symbologies (except setup codes). This is useful if you only need to enable a few code types.

Resolving USB Installation Issues in Windows The USB HID (Human Interface Device) keyboard driver is standard with Windows®. Most recent versions of Windows include necessary files in the installed Windows system folders so driver installation is easy if not automatic. It is possible for the user to cancel the HID driver installation before it is completed and this results in a problem.

(User Account Control). UAC is turned off using the User Account icon. UAC is turned on using the Security Center icon. Windows 7 & Vista: 1. Go to the Start menu. 2. Select Control Panel. 3. Switch to Classic View if you are in Category View 4.
USB Installation Issues The Worth Data USB Laser Scanners use the generic USB HID class (Human Interface Device) keyboard driver that is standard with Mac OS 9.0, Mac OS X, and macOS. All of these versions of the Macintosh operating system already include necessary files in the Mac System folders, so driver installation is easy if not automatic, and no downloads are required.
