    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 8 To System Designers:  When introducing the QK31 series of scanners 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. Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a heat, smoke, or scanner failure.
  • Page 9 Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a heat, smoke, or scanner failure. Be sure to observe the following.  Never disassemble or modify the scanner. 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 10 Wrong handling of the scanner could result in a heat, smoke, or scanner failure. Be sure to observe the following.  If the interface cable is damaged (e.g., exposed or broken lead wires), stop using it and contact your nearest dealer. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electrical shock.

  • Page 16: Qk31-U

    QK31-U The QK31-U 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 ...
  • Page 17 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 18 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 19 (1) Switch the computer on to run Windows XP. Log on as an Administrator. (2) Connect the scanner's USB interface cable to the computer or USB hub. (3) Wait for the Found New Hardware hint to pop up on the Windows task tray.

  • Page 20: Chapter 4 Scanning Codes

    Chapter 4 Scanning Codes Bring the LCD of a mobile phone to the scanning window of the scanner as shown below. Note: The scanner supports the double-read prevention function that prevents the scanner from reading in the same code more than once in succession even if you keep applying a code to the scanning window. To read the same code again after successfully read, therefore, pull the mobile away from the scanning window for at least half a second to release the double-read prevention function.
