** Enter Setup Enable/Disable Barcode Programming Scanning the Enter Setup/Exit Setup barcode can enable/disable barcode programming. After barcode programming is enabled, you can scan a number of programming barcodes to configure your scanner. Barcode programming is on by default. In real application, programming barcodes hardly overlap with non-programming barcodes, so it is unnecessary to disable barcode programming each time you finish the configuration.
** Enter Setup Factory Defaults Scanning the following barcode can restore the scanner to the factory defaults. You may need to reset your scanner when: 1. scanner is not properly configured so that it fails to decode barcodes; 2. you forget previous configuration and want to avoid its impact; 3.
** Enter Setup Scan Mode Manual Mode Manual Mode (default): A trigger pull activates a decode session. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the trigger is released or the decode session timeout expires. ** Manual Mode Decode Session Timeout: This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt.
** Enter Setup Continuous Mode Continuous Mode: A trigger press activates the scanner to scan and decode at user-specified intervals, i.e. the timeout between decodes. Each decode session lasts until barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. To suspend/resume the operation, simply press the trigger. By default, the scanner rereads same barcode with no delay.
Page 58
** Enter Setup Timeout between Decodes:This parameter sets the timeout between decode sessions. When a decode session ends, next session will not happen until the timeout between decodes expires. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.0s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 1.0s. Timeout between Decodes Example: Set the timeout between decodes to 5s Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
Page 59
** Enter Setup Reread Delay sets the time period before the scanner can read the same barcode a second time. It protects against accidental rereads of the same barcode. This parameter is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default delay is 3.0s. If the parameter is set to 0, the delay is infinite. Note: This parameter only applies when the Reread Same Barcode with a Delay is enabled.
** Enter Setup Sense Mode Sense Mode: The scanner activates a decode session every time when it detects a change in ambient illumination and meets the requirement of the image stabilization timeout. Decode session continues until barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. A trigger pull can also activate a decode session.
Page 61
** Enter Setup Image Stabilization Timeout: This parameter defines the amount of time that the scanner waits for the image to stabilize to a point that it can be decoded with more accuracy. It is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.0s to 25.5s. The default timeout is 0.4s. Image Stabilization Timeout Example: Set the Image Stabilization Timeout to 5s Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
Page 62
** Enter Setup Reread Delay sets the time period before the scanner can read the same barcode a second time. It protects against accidental rereads of the same barcode. This parameter is programmable in 0.1s increments from 0.1s to 25.5s. The default delay is 3.0s. If the parameter is set to 0, the delay is infinite. Note: This parameter only applies when the Reread Same Barcode with a Delay is enabled.
Page 63
** Enter Setup Sensitivity: This parameter specifies the degree of acuteness of the scanner’s response to changes in ambient illumination. The higher the sensitivity, the lower requirement in illumination change to trigger the scanner. You can select an appropriate degree of sensitivity that fits the ambient environment. High Sensitivity ** Medium Sensitivity Low Sensitivity...
** Enter Setup Command Trigger Mode Command Trigger Mode: Decode session is activated by a host command. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. Command Trigger Mode Decode Session Timeout: This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt.
** Enter Setup Hands-free Scanning Inserting the scanner in the stand enables the scanner to switch from its current scan mode to the Sense mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand, it operates in the Manual scan mode. It takes 3 seconds for the scanner to get ready for scanning after the scanner is inserted into or removed from the stand, so do not operate the scanner during this period.
** Enter Setup Security Level This parameter specifies the number of times to decode a barcode during a scan attempt. The higher the security level, the lower the error rate and decoding efficiency. ** Set Security Level to 0 Set Security Level to 1 Set Security Level to 2 Set Security Level to 3 Exit Setup...
** Enter Setup Decode Result Notification When enabled, if a barcode does not decode, “F” is transmitted; if a barcode is decoded, “S” is appended to the barcode data as the most left character. Enable Decode Result Notification ** Disable Decode Result Notification Exit Setup...
** Enter Setup Other Settings You can change the following parameter settings temporarily and the changes will be lost when you power down or reboot the scanner. Silent Mode Silent Mode On ** Silent Mode Off Note: This feature is only applicable to decode beep and will be automatically disabled when the scanner is powered down or rebooted.
** Enter Setup Chapter 3 Communication Settings Introduction The scanner provides an RS-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the scanner or to access/alter the configuration information of the scanner via the RS-232 or USB interface.
** Enter Setup Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the scanner’s baud rate to match the Host requirements. ** 9600 1200 19200 2400 38400 4800 57600 14400 115200 Exit Setup...

** Enter Setup Convert Case This parameter is valid when the Standard Keyboard or Function Key Mapping is enabled. ** No Case Conversion Convert All to Upper Case Convert All to Lower Case Invert Upper and Lower Case Characters Example: When the Convert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted as “abc”.
** Enter Setup Emulate Numeric Keypad When this feature is disabled, sending barcode data is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard. To enable this feature, scan the Emulate Numeric Keypad barcode. Sending a number (0-9) is emulated as keystroke on numeric keypad, whereas sending other character like “+”, “_”, “*” , “/” and “.” is still emulated as keystroke on main keyboard.
** Enter Setup USB COM Port Emulation This feature allows the host to receive data in the way as a serial port does. However, you need to set communication parameters on the scanner to match the Host requirements. A driver is required for this feature.
** Enter Setup HID-POS The HID-POS interface is recommended for new application programs. It can send up to 56 characters in a single USB report and appears more efficient than USB HID-KBW. Features: HID based, no custom driver required. ...
USB uses VID (Vendor ID) and PID (Product ID) to identify and locate a device. The VID is assigned by USB Implementers Forum. Newland’s vendor ID is 1EAB (Hex). A range of PIDs are used for each Newland product family. Every PID contains a base number and interface type (keyboard, COM port, etc.).
** Enter Setup Chapter 4 Prefix & Suffix Introduction After a successful barcode read, a string containing numbers, letters or symbols will be returned. In real applications, barcode data may be found insufficient for your needs. You may wish to include additional information such as barcode type, data acquisition time or delimiter in data being scanned.
** Enter Setup Custom Prefix Enable/Disable Custom Prefix If custom prefix is enabled, you are allowed to append to the data a user-defined prefix that cannot exceed 5 characters.
