1.1 Introduction
The 2D barcode decoder chip uses advanced chip design & manufacturing, which significantly
simplifies application design and delivers superior performance and solid reliability with low power
consumption.
The SC400 support all mainstream 1D and standard 2D barcode symbologies (e.g., PDF417, QR
Code M1/M2/Micro
and Data Matrix) as well as GS1-DataBarTM (RSS) (Limited/Stacked/Expanded
versions). It can read barcodes on virtually any
medium - paper, plastic card, mobile phones and LCD
displays.
This compact, lightweight engine fits easily into even the most space-constrained equipments such as
data collectors, meter readers, ticket validators and PDAs.

1.2 About This Guide
This guide provides programming instructions for the Users can configure the by
scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual

1.3 Barcode Scanning
The SC400 features fast scanning and decoding accuracy . Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be
read with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by
the SC400 over the barcode.

1.4 Barcode Programming
1.5 Factory Defaults
Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults. See Appendix 1: Factory
Defaults Table for more information.
Note: Use this feature with discretion.

The provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The
host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the
configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.
2.1 TTL-232 Cable Select
Before using Serial Communication interface, scanner must be set as TTL-232 cable. Please reset the
scanner after set 232 cable

SC400

12
2.2 TTL-232 Interface
Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the engine to a host device (like PC,
POS). However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication
parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.
The serial communication interface provided by the engine is based on TTL-level signals. TTL-232 can
be used for most application architectures. For those requiring RS-232, an external conversion circuit is
needed. The conversion circuit is available only to some models.
Serial Comm unica tion
Default serial communication parameters are listed below. Make sure all parameters match the host
requirements.
Parameter Factory Defau lt
Serial Communication Standard TTL-232
Baud Rate 115200
Parity Check None
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Hardware Flow Control None

13
2.3 Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host
requirements.
2400 4800
9600 19200
38400 57600
115200

2.5 USB Interface
Before using USB Communication interface, scanner must be set as USB cable. Please reset the scanner after
set USB cable。

2.6 USB HID-KBW
When you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KBW
feature by scanning the barcode below. Then engine’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard
input. The Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no
driver is required.

Convert All to Upper Case Con vert All to Low er Case
Example: When the Conv ert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted
as “abc”.

2.9 USB COM Port Emulation
If you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, the USB COM Port Emulation feature
allows the Host to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is required for this feature.
