Page 5: Handling With Care
CAUTION Please do not use AC adapters other than the recommend AC power adaptor which is described in the “unpacking the carton” section. Failure to do so might affect the performance of the unit. If the voltage or polarity used is different from the specification, it might cause product failure and could be the cause of an accident. -
Page 6: Unpacking The Product
The current drawn is sometimes over 500mA standard of USB which means that there is possibility for some problems when THIR-6000 is connected directly to the host. Tohken recommends the use of an exclusive USB HUB (TUR-100) between THIR and host PC, or please supply power by using branched USB cable (CA-3000USB) and AC. -

This switch is used to initiate the read and decode of a symbol. • Connecting Cable - THIR-6000: RS-232C When connecting to host computers, a cable with D-sub 9P connector should be utilized. For supplying the power to the unit, the AC power adapter should be plugged into its mating receptacle on the RS232 connector housing next to the D-sub 9P connector. -

Page 16: Setting Up The Host Computer
2.2 Setting up the Host Computer Communication Conditions It is required to match the set up values between the THIR-6000 unit and the host computer. Please refer to Section 5.5, conditions for RS-232C setup, for the default settings. Transmission Protocol Data transactions between the reader and the host should be carried out in the prefixed communication protocol. -

Page 31: Choosing High Speed Mode Or Normal Mode
High Speed mode is designed to read barcodes faster. To enter this mode, please read the appropriate configuration barcode from barcode menu. High Speed mode (default) This mode makes THIR-6000 read barcodes faster than Normal mode. In this mode, LED aiming beam keeps blinking. Normal mode In this mode, aiming beam does not keep blinking. -
Page 32: Troubleshooting
8. Troubleshooting 7.18.1 The unit does not work while pushing the read trigger switch. Is power supply voltage within specification? Power supply voltage should be DC 3V-6V. If the DC voltage is not within the specified range not only the unit will not operate, but there is a strong possibility of damaging the unit. Is power supply polarity correct? When it is connected with reverse polarity, the unit does not operate. - Page 33 8.3 The data does not transmit or the data itself is corrupted. Is the setup with host computer correct? Please check whether the baud rate and frame format is the same as that of the host computer. If frame format differs, it may seem that data is transmitted incorrectly. Do you set fixed digit for ITF In some cases, cancellation of significant digits (reading it through with a few digits than a printed digits) in ITF(Interleaved 2 of 5) might be used.
