2-4 Introduction to installation Note: If any of the below operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and check the scanner for any improper connections. Go through all steps again. 2-4-1 Installation - keyboard wedge 1. Switch off the host and unplug the keyboard connector. 2.
2-4-3 Installation - USB The scanner attaches directly to a USB host, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required. Refer to Figure 7-3, connect the USB interface cable to the bottom of the scanner. Plug the series A connector in the USB host, or an available port of the terminal. Windows will automatically detect the USB device.
2-5 Scanning The scanner has two scanning modes: hand-held and auto-detection. When the scanner is scanning, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol. RIGHT WRONG Figure 2-8 2-6 Auto-detection The auto-detection scanning mode has two operating modes: in-stand and always ON. The following is an introduction to in-stand auto-detection mode.
3 Parameter menus 3-1 Example: configure scanner Important notes: 1. After each successful programming, the scanner will beep twice. 2. Throughout the programming barcode menus, the factory default settings are indicated with asterisks (*). 3. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness. LED will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed.

3-2 Operate the scanner by receiving command via UART Note The information in this chapter is provided for the scanner with RS232 cable or USB cable. If the scanner is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual COM”. Please refer to chapter of 3-6 USB interface.
3-3 Interface selection This scanner supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS-232 serial wedge, and USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable provided by the manufacturer will work for a specific interface. Interface selection: Auto detection -By setting this function, the scanner will automatically detect the keyboard wedge, RS-232 or USB interface for user.
3-4 Keyboard wedge interface Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts. Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or scanner, with the period between 60us to 100us.
