User Manual Chapter 1 Introduction The scanner uses the class leading chip with intelligent image reading technology, and it mainly uses for image-based 2D scanner. The scanner can read all kinds of 1D barcodes and standard 2D barcodes (various versions of PDF417, QR code, and Data matrix) can easily scan paper, plastic cards, LCD and other barcode printed media.
User Manual (3) Align the aiming line to the center of the barcode, move the scanner and adjust the distance between it and the barcode to find the optimal scanning distance. (4) When hear the prompt sound, the infrared light goes out and the barcode reading successfully, then the scanner will decode the data to the host.
User Manual Chapter 2 Communication Interface The Handheld Barcode Scanner provides USB and interface (optional) to connect to the host. RS-232 Through communication interfaces, it can receive and read the data, control the scanner by sending the commands, and modify the parameter of scanner, etc. Serial Interface Serial interface is a common way to connect the scanner to the host (e.g.
User Manual Baud Rate The unit of Baud Rate is bps is bits/s (bps: bits per second), the optional configuration parameter is as below shown: 115200 38400 19200 9600 4800 2400 1200 USB Interface HID Virtual Keyboard When using USB interface, the scanner can be simulated as a HID-KBW device. In this mode, the scanner would be a virtual keyboard that output the data to the host.

User Manual Chapter 3 Scanning Mode Manual Mode In manual mode, when the trigger control interface of the scanner changes into trigger electrical level, the scanner will start to shoot and read. In the limited time of “single reading time”, the scanner will continuously shoot and read until it is successful.
User Manual Moving Performance: PS:Ultra fast mode in the automatic sensing mode, the sensing distance of scanning paper barcode will decrease significantly. Normal * Fast Ultra-fast Single Reading Time In sensing reading mode, the parameter indicates the maximum time of allowing reading engine to continuously collect and identify barcode before reading successfully.
Page 32
User Manual Single Reading Time Limit In continuous mode, it indicates the maximum time of scanner continuously collect and identify barcode before reading successfully. If it times out, it will enter the interval of not collecting and reading according to the setting. The code reading time is 100ms in units, which can be set to 0.1~9.9s. When it be set to 0 that indicates no waiting.
User Manual Command Programming In this mode, scanner needs the host to trigger and decode the barcode. The scanner can set the length of the reading time. The reading code time can be set to 0.1~9.9s. When it be set to 0 that indicates no wait.

User Manual Chapter 4 Illumination and Aiming Aiming There is a projecting device on the scanner that is used to project a special image when reading, which characterizes the center of the scene image taken by the scanner. When the scanner is used for shooting, the image is projected on the reading target, and the scanner aims at the reading target, which makes it easier to read the target.
User Manual Power on and Read Successfully Prompt Tone The scanner can output PWM signal to drive the external buzzer circuit to make sound. The sound signal can be turned off or allowed to be output by setting. The corresponding settings can be made through the following setting codes.
User Manual Chapter 5 Symbologies Every symbology (barcode type) has its own unique attributes. This chapter provides programming barcodes for configuring the scanner so that it can identify various symbologies. It is recommended to disable those that are rarely used to increase the efficiency of the scanner. Barcode General Settings 1D Barcode Switch Enable All 1D Barcode...
