Introduction Introduction Components Item No. Description Red Output Window (Laser Aperture) Trigger Pinhole for Cable Release (see page 3) 10-Pin RJ45, Female Socket Beeper Hole LED Indicator (see page 5) Figure 1. Scanner Components Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance. If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia.
Caution and Serial Number Labels Item Number, Serial Number and Compliance Information location. Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
Cable Installation and Removal Installation Insert the cable’s modular connector into the socket on the scanner. Pull gently on the cable strain relief to ensure the cable is installed. Figure 3. Removal Turn off power to the host system before removing the cable from the scanner. Locate the small pinhole on the front side of the scanner near the end of the handle.
Scanner Operation Scanner Operation Audible Indicators When the scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). One Beep –...
Visual Indicators The scanner is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan respectively when the unit is in operation. Figure 5. LED Location Green and Red LEDs Are Off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
Failure Modes One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure.

Configuration Introduction Configuration Introduction Your new scanner has been factory configured with a set of default parameters. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code based configuration tool are provided.
Returning to Factory Defaults Scan the Recall Defaults bar code to erase all previous settings and return the scanner to its factory default communication protocol. Recall Defaults ³...
Code Types and Decode Rules Code Types and Decode Rules Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that is a factory default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the Multi-Code configuration method.
Scanner Operation Scanner Operation Redundant Scans * 0 Redundant Scans – Requires 1 good decode for a good scan. ³ 1 Redundant Scan – Requires 2 consecutive decodes of the same bar code data for a good ³ scan. Data Transmission Delays Use these codes to select the amount of delay between sending data characters from the scanner to the host.
Prefixes/Suffixes Prefixes/Suffixes Scan the Enter Configuration Mode bar code before trying to set these features (see the Multi-Code Method on page 12.) User Configurable Prefixes, All Data ~ Configurable Prefix Character #1 – A prefix ID can be added and assigned for data transmission. ³...
Enable Tab Suffix – The scanner will transmit a TAB (ASCII 09H) after each bar code. ³ * Disable Tab Suffix ³ Enable ETX Suffix – The scanner will transmit End of TeXt (ASCII 03H) after the bar code date. ³...

Code Bytes Usage Code Bytes Usage The scanner must be in Configuration Mode for the features requiring code bytes for configuration. The Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code must be scanned before starting the configuration cycle. User configurable prefix/suffix characters can then be saved by scanning the 3 digit decimal equivalent of the ASCII character into the appropriate character location with the code byte bar codes.
