Chapter 1 Introduction About this manual This user guide provides instructions for installing and programming the scanner, also includes product specifications, dimensions, warranty and customer support information. Note: The options in this user guide depend on the model you purchased. Barcode scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communication settings.

system on the back of this manual. The default is serial port. Connected with a keyboard wedge The scanner can be connected as a "keyboard wedge" between the keyboard and the PC, and the scanner provides data output similar to keyboard input. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection: Turn off the power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
Reading skills The scanner has a viewfinder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the horizontal field of view of the scanner. The aiming beam should be at the center of the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction to facilitate reading.
Set custom defaults You can create a set of menu commands as your own custom defaults. To do this, scan the "Set Custom Defaults" barcode below before scanning the menu commands for custom defaults. If the menu command needs to scan the numeric code first and then save the code, the entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults.
Chapter 2 Programming Interface RS232 serial port RS232 is scanned when connected to the serial port of a PC or terminal. The following RS232 can add a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF) suffix, as well as the baud rate and data format. It also changes the trigger mode to manual.
RS232 Baud rate The baud rate sends data from the scanner to the terminal at a specified rate. The host terminal must be set to the same baud rate as the scanner. Default = 115200. (8310030) (8310031) (8310032) 1200 (8310033) 2400 (8310034) 4800...

(801030) * Manual trigger – normal Mobile phone reading mode When this mode is selected, the scanner will be optimized to read the barcode from the phone or other LED display.
Chapter 4 Data Editing Prefix/suffix overview When the barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host along with the barcode data. This set of barcode data and additional, user-defined data is called a "message string." The selections in this section are used to build user-defined data into a message string.
Add a prefix or suffix: Step 1. Scan to add a prefix or add a suffix code. (889002) Add prefix Step 2. To apply a prefix or suffix code system, determine the 2-digit hexadecimal value from the code chart. For example, for Code 128, the code ID is "j"...
Page 20
Example: Add a suffix to a specific code system Send a CR (carriage return) suffix to U.P.C. only: Step 1. Scan add suffix。 Step 2. Determine the 2-digit hexadecimal value of U.P.C from the code chart. Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the programming diagram on the back cover of this manual.
Page 21
Add a carriage return suffix for all code systems If you want to add a carriage return suffix to all code systems at once, scan the barcode below. This action first clears all current suffixes and then writes a carriage return suffix for all code systems. (890000) Add a carriage return suffix for all code systems Clear one or all prefix suffixes...
Function code transmission When this selection is enabled and the scan code contains a function code, the scanner sends the function code to the terminal. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before transmission. Default = Enabled.
Chapter 5 Data Format Introduction to the Data Format Editor You can use the Data Format Editor to change the output of the scanner. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to scan for bar code data to insert characters at specific points.
Page 25
Increase data format Step 1. Scan input data format code system Step 2. Select primary/alternate format Determine if this is your primary data format or one of the 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To write the main format, use the programming chart scan 0 on the back cover of this manual.
Page 26
(800002) Save (800000) Quit Other programming options Clear a data format This will delete a data format of a code system. If you want to clear the main format, scan 0 from the programming chart on the back cover of this manual. If you want to clear the alternate format, scan 1, 2 or 3 depending on the format you want to clear.
Data formatter When the data formatter is closed, the barcode data is read as output to the host, including the prefix and suffix. (8860010) Data formatter closes You may want to ask for data to match the data format you created and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format: Data formatter is open, no need, keep prefix/suffix The scanned data is modified according to your data format and the prefix...
Page 28
Primary/alternative data format You can save up to four data formats and switch between them. Your main data format is saved below 0. Your other three formats are saved under 1, 2 and 3. To set your device to use one of the following formats, scan one of the barcodes below.
Chapter 6 Code System This programming section contains the following menu options. • All Symbologies • Codabar • Code 39 • Interleaved 2 of 5 • NEC 2 of 5 • Code 93 • Straight 2 of 5 Industrial (three-bar start/stop) •...

Create Codabar check characters with different "modulos". You can program the scanner to read-only Codabar barcodes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = no check character.

Need Codabar Length of information Scan the barcode below to change the length of the message. For additional information on Disable, please refer to the information length description minimum and maximum length = 2-60. Minimum default = 4, maximum default = 60. Minimum message length Maximum message length Code 39...
Code 39 Check character No check character indicates bar code data with or without check characters when the scanner reads and sends. When the "Check Character" is set to "Verify" but "Do Not Send", the unit reads only the Code 39 barcode printed using the check character, but does not send the check character along with the scan data.
This feature allows the scanner to attach data from multiple Code 39 barcodes before transmitting the data to the host. When the scanner encounters a Code 39 barcode with an additional trigger character, it buffers the Code 39 barcode until it reads the Code 39 barcode without an additional trigger.
FULL ASCII If FULL ASCII Code39 decoding is enabled, some characters in the barcode system will be interpreted as a single character. For example: $V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as ASCII character #. Default = Disable. NUL %U DLE $P SP SPACE...
Code 39 code page The Code page defines the mapping of character codes to characters. If the received data does not display the correct characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a different Code page than the one expected by the host program. If this is the case, scan the barcode below, select the Code page used to create the barcode, scan the values in the internal programming diagram on the back cover of this manual, and save the barcode.
Interleaved 2 of 5 Default setting Interleaved 2 of 5 Enable/Disable * Enable Disable Check character No check character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits barcode data with or without a check character. When the check character is set to "Verify" but "Do Not Send", the unit reads only the Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode with the check character printed, but does not transmit the check character with the scanned data.
