Introduction; Getting Started - Symbol US AUTOMATION EP-1 User Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the US Automation EP1 Barcode Scanner. This manual refers to your new
scanner as the EP1, which is based on Symbol's SPT 1700 Series scanner with an integrated Palm OS
computer. This guide covers the installation/setup of the barcode scanner. All units are tested prior to being
shipped and can be used upon arrival; however, it is recommended that you read this manual before operating
the EP1 unit.

Getting Started

Before the US Automation EP1 scanner can begin error proofing at a job operation, you will need to do the
following:
1.) You should become familiar with:
A. All the different parts of your EP1 (see figure 1).
B. How to charge the battery on your EP1 (see figure 2). The unit must be fully charged before
beginning usage of it.
C. Using the trigger handle (if purchased).
2.) With the unit fully charged select and set a mode of operation for the EP1 (see page 8).
3.) Request new barcode labels be printed out at the operation where you want error proofing to be performed.
The new barcode label printed must match the mode that you have selected in step 2) above. This request is
made to your local IT or Flex printer support person. The EP1 works with all standard GM/EDS printers.
4.) When step 3) is complete and new barcode labels are being printed out at the operation, then you are ready
to run the "Pick ticket setup" and the "Parts bin setup" (see page 20).
