Please record the specific scenario and consult the after sales team should you encounter anything abnormal regarding the barcode scanner. Overview of Inateck P7 barcode Scanner Features of the Scanner There are four types of scanning mode, including Red Light Auto-off Mode, Continuous Scanning Mode, Manual Mode and Hands-free Mode.
The settings of scanning mode, barcode type and data transmitting format are made by scanning correspondent barcodes. ★ Screen barcodes supported ★ Numerous decoding types ★ Super-fast decoding speed ★ Dustproof and anti-drop design ★ Completely self-owned intellectual property ★ Extremely comfortable operation design ★...
Incorrect Scanning Way QUICK START The settings of the Inateck P7 Barcode Scanner can be changed by scanning the setup barcodes included in this manual. This section describes the procedure of setting the Inateck P7 Barcode Scanner by scanning the setup barcodes. Examples are...
Exit with save Note: The Inateck P7 Barcode Scanner will respond with a long beep if any setup error occurs. The flow chart of Setup Enter setup Read a Setup barcode (such as, enable/disable a certain barcode)
Restore custom settings If you want to return to the custom settings while the barcode scanner has been reset, just scan the barcode "Enter setup", and then scan "Restore custom settings". The P7 will exit the setting mode after successful operation.

This chapter introduces the features and usage of the P7 barcode scanner. 1.1 Battery The P7 barcode scanner is powered by 2600mAh chargeable Lithium batteries. If you use the red light auto-off mode, the barcode scanner can work 107 hours continuously under 433MHz wireless mode, when it can read 192,600 barcodes (read a barcode Code 128 every 2s).
P7 will respond with two short beeps (tone from high to low) and the blue LED indicator will flash once. When the buffer is full, the P7 will respond with a long beep (high tone) to remind that the space of the buffer is not enough and cannot store any more barcodes. The user should return to the transmission range quickly to upload the scanned data to computer/phone.
Users may use inventory mode to keep scanned barcodes in the buffer of Inateck P7, and upload them to computer in batches. Under inventory mode, users are not restricted to the time and location when upload data. Of course, history data can be cleared in buffer after uploading.
Note: For achieve these five functions above, you can just scan the setting barcode. There is no need to scan “Enter setup” and “Exit with save”. 1.3 LED Indicator The LED indicators on Inateck P7 can help the user know more about the current operation status. LED Status...
1.4 Beeper The built-in beeper in the P7 can help the user to know about the current operation status. Beeping Meaning One short high note(100ms) Read barcode successfully One short high note(20ms) Data upload from scanner to host One long high note(400ms) Wrong Setup(on setup status, blue LED stays on)...
Exit with save Exit without save 1.5 Vibration Notification The P7 barcode scanner is featured with vibration notification which is turned on by default, to indicate successful scanning. You can enable/disable this function and adjust the vibration strength. Turn off the vibration notification (*)Turn on the vibration notification (weak)
The red light of the scanner will not go off until Inateck P7 scans a barcode. And the laser will go off once the scanner scans barcode successfully. And then the scanner will go into waiting mode, in which the waiting time (also known as intermittent time of continuous scanning), usually defaults to 2 seconds, and can be set to 400ms, 800ms,1s,2s,3s,5s, 10s and 15s.
Page 20
Example of setting the scanner into Continuous Scanning mode and setting the Intermittent time to 1s: 1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode; 2. Read the "Continuous Scanning Mode" barcode; 3. Read the "Setup Intermittent time of Continuous scanning " barcode; 4.
3. Read the "Exit with Save" barcode. 1.6.4 Hands-free Mode Under the Hands-free Mode, the red light still stays on after the P7 reads a barcode successfully, but it won’t read it repeatedly. You can scan the barcode below to set the scanner into Hands-free Mode.
2) Scan “MacOS/iOS device mode” ; 3) Scan “Save and exit”. Note: If you are to use P7 with Android devices, make sure to apply Gboard as the input method. Apart from setting the scanner under “Windows/Android” mode, you also need to set the scanner keyboard language as American English that supports “Gboard”...

The P7 has been paired with its receiver before leaving the factory. If you replace the receiver, please re-pair it with the P7. The pairing method is flexible, which allows you to pair one or more P7 scanners with one receiver, also you can pair one scanner with multiple receivers (up to 8 receivers can be paired).
Page 26
Unplug the previous USB adapter. b. Scan “Enter Setup” barcode. c. Scan the barcode “Pair one scanner with multiple USB adapters”, and get the Inateck P7 as close as possible to the USB adapter (within 2 meters). d. Insert the USB adapter into a computer. The indicator of the adapter flashes along with a short high tone, which indicates a successful pairing.
There are 6 channels available when the P7 is in the 433MHz wireless mode, and the default is "channel 0". If you want to use multiple P7 scanners in the same place, it is suggested to set every barcode scanner to different channels so as to avoid wireless signal interference.
P7 will connect with the previous paired device automatically if you have done the pairing before. If you want to connect the P7 with other device, please read the barcode " Enter setup" and "Pair one or more scanners with one USB adapter", the P7 will enter into Bluetooth broadcasting mode, then you can get the P7 paired on your phone/computer.
When switched to Bluetooth SPP mode, the P7 will enter into Bluetooth broadcasting mode and the blue LED indicator flashes. Then you can search the Bluetooth of P7 and get it paired on your phone/computer. After successful pairing, you need to run serial debugging tool on your computer, and select Open Bluetooth COM Port.
Page 30
To disconnect the Bluetooth, just close the serial debugging tool. To use the Bluetooth SPP mode of P7 on another computer, there is no more operation needed for P7, just disconnect the P7 on the previous connected computer, and then the P7 will enter Bluetooth broadcasting mode.
2.4 USB Mode If the P7 is connected to a computer via USB cable, the data transmission through USB mode is preferred. Under the USB connection mode, the P7 will respond with two or multiple long high tones which indicates the USB is being configured. You can begin to use the P7 scanner after the prompt tones stop.
