holes (6 mm) all the way through the pole; drill
the larger hole (24 mm) on the front face of the
pole only.
4. Feed the cable through the larger hole in the
pole and screw the main cable to the cable
attached to the device.
5. Make the appropriate cable connections to the
host, depending on whether you are fitting a
USB or Serial device.
6. Position the ATR110 on the pole ensuring that
the locating studs on the metal ‘U’ brackets
engage in the two smaller holes in the pole.
Position the other metal ‘U’ bracket against the
back of the pole and screw the metal brackets
together using the four M4 screws removed
earlier.
7. Replace the plastic cover and screw into place
using the two M3 screws.

3.4 Interface options
3.4.1 Serial connection
Connect a serial ATR110 device using an RS232 interface directly into a COM port. You must
specify the baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits.
Note: A serial ATR110 communicates directly with the COM port and does not require any special
software or drivers to be loaded.
3.4.2 USB connection
Connect a USB ATR110 device using one of three possible options. These options are compatible
with all Linux and Windows operating systems from XP onwards.
3.4.2.1 Keyboard interface
Virtual keyboard using Windows or Linux drivers
This allows the device to operate without additional drivers, with the ATR110 emulating a keyboard.
This is one-way communication; it is not possible to control the device directly in this mode.
This mode will be slower than the other options as it adds an inter-character delay when typing the
barcode data. For higher throughput, consider using a HID or CDC interface.
3.4.2.2 CDC interface
Virtual serial mode using the Windows CDC driver
This assigns a COM port and the device will communicate as a virtual serial device. Due to the
nature of CDC serial port drivers, the COM port disappears if the unit is unplugged.
3.4.2.3 HID Interface
Access-IS recommends the use of the HID interface for reliability. A HID interface recovers properly
in the event of accidental disconnects or system power fluctuations; a CDC interface may not
recover in these situations.
HID interface using the Access driver (Windows only)
The Access Serial Ports Service driver is fully configurable and outputs data in virtual serial or
virtual keyboard. The output itself can be parsed and reformatted. The serial port is permanent and
does not disappear if you unplug or hot swap the unit. This is one-way communication and the only
command that you can send to the device is AIS_BO to enable or disable barcode reading. Refer
to page 28 for more information.
HID interface without the Access driver
This method is only suitable is you are familiar with HID programming.
It is possible to communicate directly with the ATR110 using the operating system’s built-in HID
drivers. In this instance, HID reports, exactly 64 bytes in length, are sent between the host and the
ATR110.
The implementation of this driver and the method of interaction will depend on the version of the
host operating system. You should refer to the HID programming guide for the operating system that
you are using.
Refer to HID reports on page 32 for the details of the HID reports used with the ATR110.

Page 10 of 39 Copyright © Access-IS 2016
3.5 Serial installation
A serial ATR110 communicates directly with the COM port and does not require any special
software or drivers to be loaded.
1. Switch off the computer.
2. Connect the serial cable to a COM port on the computer and finger-tighten the two thumbscrews
to secure the connector to the port.
3. If using a USB power injector cable, plug the injector cable into the coaxial power connector on
the Y-cable and then plug the USB connector into a powered USB port on the computer.
If using an Access-supplied power supply, plug the power cable into the coaxial power
connector on the Y-cable and then connect the external power supply to an AC outlet.
4. Once the device is connected, switch on the computer.
3.6 USB installation
Note: If you intend to use the Access driver, ensure that you install the driver before you connect
the device to the computer.
3.6.1 Driverless keyboard output
There is no additional driver required for this mode. Connect the USB cable from the ATR110 to a
USB port on the computer.
3.6.2 CDC driver
This method for USB installation uses the Windows CDC drivers.
For this method to operate, you must install the CDC drivers using the file, AccessISCDC.inf,
which you can download from http://www.access-is.com/gettingstarted/.
The download (USB Driver for CDC Mode) includes full instructions for use.
Windows assigns a virtual COM port to the ATR110 device. You can find out the COM port number
in Device Manager. You will require the port number to configure the ATR110.
3.6.3 Custom HID
3.6.3.1 HID interface using the Access serial driver (Windows only)
The recommended method for using a USB ATR110 is to configure the device to operate in HID
mode. This allows the device to communicate with the Access driver.
For this method to operate, you must first install the Access driver (Access Serial Ports Service
(ASPS)). Download ASPS from http://www.access-is.com/gettingstarted/.
The download (ASPS Software) includes full instructions for use.
Ensure that you install the driver before connecting the ATR110 to the host.
3.6.3.2 HID interface without the Access driver
There is no additional driver required for this mode. Connect the USB cable from the ATR110 to a
USB port on the computer.

3.7 Test the device
Once you have connected the device and installed the relevant drivers, if applicable, you can test
the device. To do this, wave a piece of paper in front of the glass; the reader’s LEDs should
illuminate. If the device fails to respond when connected to the host, refer to the Troubleshooting
section in this document.
3.8 Configuration software
Connect to, and configure, the ATR110 using your own configuration tool, a terminal emulation
program or the Access-IS configuration tool, which you can download from http://www.access-
is.com/gettingstarted/.
Refer to the Command reference on page 18 for details of the commands, which you can use to
configure the ATR110.
3.9 Troubleshooting
If the ATR110 does not appear to be working, refer to Table 1 to help identify and resolve the
problem.
Alternatively, use the Contact Customer Support Team page on the Access-IS website.
Note: Do not attempt to disassemble the ATR110 if it does not operate correctly.

you are scanning.
If scanning a paper document, ensure that the print quality
is good.
If scanning a barcode on a mobile phone, ensure that you
set the screen backlight on the phone to its brightest
setting.
3.10 Maintenance
3.10.1 Cleaning
Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth. If the glass is dirty, wipe the glass with a lint-free cloth
moistened with isopropyl alcohol or use an alcohol wipe. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3.10.2 Storage
Store the unit in its original box, at a temperature of -30°C to 70°C.

Page 12 of 39 Copyright © Access-IS 2016
4. Operating modes
The ATR110 operates in one of three ways, as defined by the AISOMD command. Refer to the
Command reference on page 18 for a list of commands that you can send to configure the ATR110.
4.1 Mode summary
4.1.1 Dumb mode
The ATR110 is a one-way communication device.
The device detects the media and activates the imager and illumination. When the ATR110 reads
the document, it sends the data to the host, activates the ‘Good Read’ indicators, and disables the
imager and illumination. The imager and illumination do not reset until the ATR110 sensor fails to
detect any media for 0.5 seconds.
4.1.2 Host mode
The ATR110 is a two-way communication device that reads barcodes and does not show any
indicator lights until the host computer accepts or rejects the barcodes.
The device detects the media and activates the imager and illumination. When the device reads the
barcode, it sends the data to the host and disables the imager and illumination. The ATR110 waits
for a response from the host to accept or reject the data, which activates the ‘Good Read/Bad Read’
indicators on the device. The ATR110 waits for up to two seconds for an ‘Accept/Reject/Ignore’
command to activate the indicators. The host sends an ‘Ignore’command to reset the imager if no
response from the indicators is required. The imager and illumination do not reset until the sensor
fails to detect any media for 0.5 seconds.
4.1.3 Interactive mode
Note:This is not the recommended mode for new installations.
The ATR110 is a two-way communication device, controlled fully by a host.
The ATR110 detects the media and sends a command to the host with this information. If the media
is removed, a second command is sent telling the host the media is no longer detected.
If the media is present, the host sends a command to activate the imager and illumination. When the
ATR110 reads the barcode, it sends data to the host. The imager and illumination are not disabled.
The ATR110 waits for a response from the host to accept or reject the data, which activates the
‘Good Read/Bad Read’ indicators and disables the imager and illumination. An ‘Ignore’ command
may also be used, although untriggering the unit is more useful in most cases.
At any time, the host can send ‘Good Read’ or ‘Bad Read’ commands or commands to activate or
deactivate the imager and illumination.

5. Command reference
Commands are sent with a prefix of [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] causing the command sequence to
take the form [0x16][0x4D][0x0D]<Menu Command>. The menu commands are six characters
long with a parameter (if required).
To send a command to modify a configuration parameter
Send the six-character command concluded by a dot ‘.’ or an exclamation mark ‘!’. The dot stores
the setting permanently and the exclamation mark keeps it temporarily until power is removed from
the device.
For example, [0x16][0x4D][0x0D]AISKBL1. sets the keyboard localisation to United States
when the device is operating as a USB keyboard.
To query the current settings (including a temporary one)
Send the six-character command with a ‘?’instead of the parameter and the ATR110 will return the
command with the current setting.
For example, [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] AISINF? queries the device interface and returns the
current value.
To query the stored value
Send the six-character command with a ’^’instead of the parameter and the ATR110 will return the
command with the stored setting.
For example, [0x16][0x4D][0x0D] AISINF^ returns the current illumination mode.
To list parameter options
Send the six-character command with a ‘*’instead of the parameter and the ATR110 will return the
command with the parameter options.
