CONDITIONS AS DESCRIBED BELOW. Serial Number - A serial number appears on the SP2100 label which is the unique registration number of the device purchased. Do not remove the Serial Number marking - it will automatically void the warranty. Do not operate a SP2100 without a serial number label. Warranty / Warranty Period / Liability - UnionNet, Inc. (“UnionNet”) manufactures its hardware products in accordance with industry-standard practices.
The round thing with our logo on it is a spring-reeled retractable cord that allows you to use the SP2100 at arms length while keeping it tethered. On the back of the reel is a steel snap clip. Detach the neck lanyard and use the snap clip to attach the SP2100 to your belt, waist band, pocket, purse or just about any other thin surface.
Scan Imager back to life. Also note that to scan a barcode when the SP2100 is in Power-Saver Mode, you will need to press the scan button twice to scan a barcode: the first button press to take the SP2100 into Full-Power Mode, the second to activate the Scan Imager.
From Full-Power-On to Full-Power-Off - Press and hold the Scan button for approximately 5 seconds. You’ll be presented with the Power Down option screen. If you don’t press the Scan Button in 5 seconds, the SP2100 will go into “Full Power Off” mode .
Scan Button and center the green Aiming Line on the center of the barcode. Slowly pull the SP2100 away while holding the Scan Button. As it gets further away from the barcode, the SP2100 will eventually focus and decode the barcode.
2.7- Scanning Barcodes using a SP21001D Laser Scanner The laser line scanner version of the SP2100, the SP21001D, is and excellent choice when you’re operating in a 1- dimensioal barcode environment, cost is an important issue and / or your barcodes are tightly stacked and you need to be able to quickly discriminate the code that is needed to be scanned.
IMPORTANT! If you’ve made changeS to your SP2100’s System Menu and it’s not acting like it did when you started initially or the way you’d expect it to with the System Menu changes you’ve made, just reset the Factory Defaults. Here’s how - refer to figure 2.15...
NOTE: At this time, there is technically no USB communications mode. USB shown in the Status Bar is an indication that your SP2100 is plugged in and charging in the USB port only. If you have an active bluetooth connection established, it will be maintained.

Then just press the SP2100’s Scan Button until the Figure 3.12 imager reads the barcode. The SP2100 is just like a keyboard, but you don’t have to type anything in! 3.4 - Mac HID Connection Instructions...
You’ll probably also find that the SP2100 is so convenient that you’ll walk out of the 30 foot bluetooth connection radius with it in your pocket or hanging around your neck. Don’t worry, the SP2100 is smart enough to shut down the bluetooth radio by itself to save power.
Scan Button. The SP2100 will send the data to the host, delimited by the suffix (default is <CR>). You can stop the transfer at any time by pressing the SP2100’s Bottom Side button. The transmitted data will remain in the SP2100 after transmission. See to clear the SP2100’s memory.
Most likely, you’re looking at the host’s screen when you scan to make sure the data goes in or the next screen for data entry appears. In that usage, there’s just no reason for the SP2100 to store anything.
WARNING! With either of the two memory storage modes SR or SM you can store 20-30 thousand scans. When the SP2100’s memory is filled, IT WILL DELETE ALL DATA AND OVERWRITE STARTING AT THE FIRST STORED SCAN OR RECORD. If it seems like you’ve scanned a lot of barcodes, just use the Display Memory Used System Menu option (Section 2.2) to display remaining memory.
We could scan all the barcodes into the worksheet and enter the “Y” in the column next to it after each scan or before we send the worksheet to where it will be used. But with a little thought we can have the SP2100 do the work for us using suffixes.
When you finish, the “Cancel” option will be highlighted. Use the Bottom Side button to highlight “Save”. Make sure your SP2100 screen looks like figure 5.3 Before Continuing! Press the Scan Button a final time to finish. The SP2100 will present you with the “Completed Setting” screen to confirm the change is complete. figure 5.3 5.7 - Test the Suffix Settings from the Section 5.6 Design...
You can customize the settings in the System Menu however you want or need to in order to set up the SP2100 and we encourage you to do so. Just be aware that changing some settings in combination with others may lead to some unpredictable and surprising results.

For the purposes of the User’s Guide, the setup barcodes may be packed densely enough that your SP2100 may read a code adjacent to the one you intend. Just put a piece of white paper or an index card ver the nearby barcode so the imager of the SP2100 can’t see the adjacent code.
This procedure may not work correctly if you’ve already made a HID connection with your iOS device. To clear the iOS to SP2100 relationship: On the iOS device, go to Settings, General, Bluetooth and find the SP2100 bluetooth connection. Press the blue arrow in the blue bordered white circle at the far right.

Set the Bundle and App (protocol) ID’s In order for the SP2100 to recognize that it supposed to work with the UniLinker application, the iOS device needs to know the Bundle and App ID’s. An App ID is the ID number of the Unilinker program in the AppStore, and the BundleID is used by iOS on the host to uniquely identify the application.
SP2100’s firmware can be upgraded in the field, you will have access to the latest features, bug fixes and improvements available in the most recent firmware. This allows you to make sure when you deploy multiple SP2100’s that they all look and operate in the same way, even if you’re using a prior or custom version of the firmware.

Although not required to make the association between the SP2100 and your iOS App, the option to set the AppleID is provided. As a primary source, we recommend generating a barcode with the appropriate iOS ID’s as a fail safe method for entering these into the scanner’s firmware.
