Introduction Worth Data RF Lasers have the following features: A range of up to 500 feet (line-of-sight) with collision detection and retry logic built in. Indoor range will vary depending on wall construction type, number of walls and other obstructions between the RF Laser and USB Base Station receiver.
RF Laser Battery Charging Before using the RF Laser it is a good idea to fully charge the battery. Simply plug the Worth Data charger into the base of the RF Laser handle. The red LED should turn on to indicate that the battery is being charged.
Pairing The default state of the RF Laser is un-paired. You must pair the RF Laser to the USB Base Station receiver that you wish it to communicate with. You can pair the RF Laser with any USB Base Station receiver but it can only be paired with one at a time.
Operational Modes Normal Operation When you scan, you will get one high pitched beep when you get a successful decode. The data is then transmitted to the USB Base Station receiver (as it is being transmitted, the LED turns blue). When the Laser receives the acknowledgement from the Base Station that the data has been received, the RF Laser emits a lower pitched beep and turns on a green LED.
1D Setup Mode Note: If you are using the 2D 520-RF then refer to the 2D setup chart starting on page 21. On the included CD-ROM you will find the RF Laser Setup Menu sheet. This simple menu lets you easily configure the RF Laser Reader to work with almost any computer system, and to tailor its bar code reading and data format characteristics.
Laser Scanning Instructions Using a laser scanner is basically as simple and intuitive as "point and shoot" at a distance of 0-24", depending on the density of the bar code. Basically, the laser scanner's beams must cross every bar and space on the bar code, without touching any other bar codes, as shown in the first example below.
Using The 1D RF Laser Setup Menu Note: If you are using the 2D 520-RF then refer to the 2D setup chart starting on page 24. 1. To configure your reader using the RF Laser Setup Menu, you must first scan the Start Setup code at the top left corner.

Note: If you are using the 2D 520-RF then refer to the 2D setup chart starting on page 24. Terminator characters Enter (carriage return) None CR/LF Depending on your application, you may wish your Wireless Reader to transmit bar code data to your computer with an Enter (carriage return), a Tab at the end, or with no extra terminating character at all.
Note: If you are using the 2D 520-RF then refer to the 2D setup chart starting on page 24. Postamble "Postamble" refers to a user-specified data string transmitted at the end of each bar code. For instance, if you specify the postamble @@ and read data of 123456, "123456@@" would be transmitted to your computer. The default is no postamble.
DIFFICULT CODE SETUP OPTIONS (does not apply to 2D RF Laser) Aiming Laser Dot: (LZ404-RF only) Sometimes it is difficult to see the laser beam and know you are on the bar code, especially if you are attempting to read outdoors in direct sunlight. The laser can be output as a bright dot for a few seconds, allowing the user to place the dot in the middle of the bar code;...
Accumulate Mode (1D only) Accumulate Mode is an option (which can be enabled or disabled using the Reader Setup Menu's Code 39 section) allowing the reader to accumulate multiple bar codes in its buffer, then transmit them to the computer as if they had been a single bar code.
Function/Control Key Support The RF Laser can also transmit key sequences for function, control, alt (command and option keys on Macs), cursor and shift keys, for ease of use with the many software packages using these keys for menus or commands.

Windows Key The Windows key on a Windows keyboard is transmitted by scanning 4 bar codes - NULL and C for Windows On (pressing down) and NULL and D for Windows Off (releasing the key). Command and Option Keys on Mac USB Keyboards When you have a WDP Reader attached to a Macintosh Computer's USB port, to emulate the Command key, use the Windows key ON/OFF bar codes NULL, C (Command ON) and NULL, D (Command OFF) For the Option Key ON/OFF use RS (Option On) and US (Option Off).
Troubleshooting All Models Troubleshooting The beam won’t stay on, or I just get a narrow beam when I pull the trigger, or the scanner won’t turn on when I pull the trigger or the red LED flashes when I pull the trigger. All of the above problems are an indication that your BATTERY IS TOO LOW.
USB Trouble Shooting The Base Station's light flashes in Red cycles when the USB cable is connected. The Base Station cannot enumerate. The driver is probably not installed correctly. Occasionally the user will be unaware that he aborted his driver installation. Once the process has started, it should finish successfully.
