INTRODUCTION
The Model 6000 RF Barcode Reader (M6000) provides the user with the
means of converting an undecoded laser, CCD, or wand into a wireless device.
By allowing many types of input devices, this system provides users the ability
to customize according their needs and is an affordable alternative to purchasing
an integrated RF system. The M6000 has a superior range, up to 150 feet,
providing users with an RF link to an IBM compatible PC.
The RF host is used as a companion to the M6000, receiving the RF data
and converting it into useable IBM compatible PC keyboard data. For an AT or
PS/2 PC keyboard interface, the Model 6200 RF Host (M6200) is used. For a USB
keyboard interface, the Model 6300 USB RF Host (M6300) is used. The M6000
can be custom configured using the M6000/M6200/M6300 Setup Menu Sheet to
allow multiple independent users, as well as, other standard options that allow
the equipment to be tailor-fitted for your individual data collection application.
The M6000’s simple but rugged construction allows for extended reliable
operation. Once configured, simply connect a scanning device, push the ON
button, and you are ready to scan. Every valid scan is confirmed with an audible
beep. The M6000 automatically turns off power after a few minutes, so batteries
are not wasted or accidentally discharged. Reliability, ease of use, and
affordability make the M6000 system an excellent choice for wireless barcode
data collection.

FEATURES
•Expandable: Allows ten (10) M6000 RF portables per host, by setting the
Portable ID. The total system allows up to eight (8) RF hosts to be used,
by setting the Host ID.
•Reader automatically recognizes and reads the following barcode types:
-Code 39 -Codabar
-Extended Code 39 (full ASCII) -Code 128
-Interleaved 2 of 5 -Code 93
-UPC-A, UPC-E -Code 11
-EAN-8, EAN-13 -MSI/Plessey
-UPC & EAN supplements (2 and 5 character)
•Supports any low cost 5 Volt undecoded laser, CCD, or wand devices.
•Convenient momentary ON button turns on the M6000 power. After a
user settable idle time (in minutes), the M6000 automatically turns off the
power, so there are no accidentally discharged batteries.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Insert the 9V battery into the M6000 battery compartment. Make
note of the battery polarity markings in the compartment. If the
battery is inserted backwards, the M6000 will not turn on.
Step 2: Replace the battery compartment door. Now press the ON button
to verify that the M6000 is working. When the ON button is
pressed and released you will hear an audible beep.
Step 3: Plug the barcode scanning device of your choice (laser, CCD, or
wand) into the 9-pin D-shell connector interface. Note that the
barcode interface connector has built-in cable locking tabs.

USAGE GUIDELINES
The Model 6000 RF Barcode Reader communicates to the RF Host using a
radio frequency (RF) data link. The radio’s typical range is about 150 feet in an
unobstructed line-of-sight environment. Factors that effect the M6000 radio’s
performance in any given environment are related to the physics of radio wave
(electromagnetic wave) transmission, and include: distance, reflection,
cancellation, interference, and energy absorption.
Distance effects signal strength in that signal power diminishes rapidly
with the “inverse square rule”, which means as you go twice as far away there is
only one-fourth of the total signal strength present, and so on. The M6000
provides long battery life, but if there seems to a notable decrease in range, try
replacing the battery with a new, fresh one.
Reflection from metal objects effects radio waves in the same way that a
mirror reflects light; radio waves typically do not pass through metal objects.
When using the M6000 near metal objects, allow a sufficient distance of two feet
or so to allow radio waves to propagate. Using an M6000 radio when directly
separated from the RF Host by a metal wall would reduce transmission range or
perhaps block the signal.
A side effect of reflection is wave cancellation, in which the signal strength
coverage is dependent on the exact position in a room; this effect is associated
with “peaks” of strong signal and “nulls” of weak signal. You may have heard
the effect of static “nulls” on your car’s stereo when stopped at a traffic signal,
but when moving again the sound quality improves because both “peaks” and
“nulls” are being received. Moving the M6000 unit by an inch or two to find a
stronger wave “peak” can compensate for the occasional “nulls” when scanning.
Interference from other equipment may also be present in an
environment. The radio’s 916.5 MHz frequency is located near the center of the
FCC allocated Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) 902-928 MHz frequency
band. Interference in this frequency band is not common and not effected by
cellular telephones or pagers. The 900 MHz cordless telephones typically
operate at each end of this ISM frequency band, and so would not likely interfere
with the M6000.
Absorption is the final factor affecting the performance of the M6000
radio. The M6000 transmits a safe level of radio frequency energy, however, any
radio signal is to some degree absorbed by human body mass. When using the
M6000 at long range, the user’s body may disrupt the line-of-sight path to the RF
Host. The user will likely find satisfactory use from wearing the M6000 at one’s
waist, but to minimize the effect of body mass, for better reception, wear the
M6000 higher up on the body, such as in a chest pocket or on the arm using an
armband. For best reception, the M6000 can be affixed to the top of some lasers
or CCD’s using Velcro strips, thereby keeping the radio at arm’s length.

SETTING THE HOST ID AND PORTABLE ID
In a multiple system, the Host ID is used to determine to which PC host
the M6000 communicates. The Portable ID is used to distinguish each M6000.
Each M6200/M6300 RF Host (Host ID) supports up to ten (10) M6000’s (Portable
ID’s). Each ID pair MUST NOT be used more than once, or else the data
integrity will be compromised. The default settings are Host ID=1 and Portable
ID=1, and must be changed if using more than one M6000.
Step 1: Make sure that an RF Host unit has already been installed on the
PC and configured. Refer to the M6200 or M6300 User’s Manual
for installation and configuration instructions.
Step 2: Locate the Model 6000/6200/6300 Setup Menu Sheet.
Step 3: Scan the “START” barcode at the upper left corner of the Menu.
Step 4: Set the Host ID by scanning “HOST ID ADDRESS” and then select
the channel number of the desired host (0 to 7). This number
should match that to be used with the M6200 or M6300 host.
Step 5: Set the Portable ID by scanning “PORTABLE ID ADDRESS” and
then select the number (0 to 9) to identify each M6000.
Step 6: If you wish to keep and store these changes, scan “EXIT (SAVE
CHANGES”. If you wish to discard these changes, and revert to
your previous settings, select “EXIT (IGNORE CHANGES)”.
Step 7: Open a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad on your PC. Scan
the “START” barcode from the Setup Menu Sheet again. Then scan
“DIAGNOSTICS”. Scan the “EXIT (IGNORE CHANGES)”
barcode. Note that the current Host ID and the Portable ID settings
are displayed along with other M6000 diagnostic information in the
PC window.
Step 8: If the M6000 diagnostic data from Step 7 was displayed on the PC,
the system is configured correctly; however, if no data is displayed,
make sure the RF host unit is connected and that the Host ID
setting is correct. Verify the Host ID setting by connecting a
scanning device to the RF Host and scanning “START”,
“DIAGNOSTICS”, and “EXIT (IGNORE CHANGES)”.

DEFAULT SETTINGS
The M6000 default settings can be restored, aborting all user changes, using the
Model 6000/6200/6300 Setup Menu Sheet by scanning “START”, “RESET ALL
DEFAULTS”, and “EXIT (SAVE CHANGES)”. Using the Setup Menu Sheet, the
individual settings of the M6000 can be changed by the user, see “CHANGING
THE DEFAULT SETTINGS”.

CHANGING THE SETTINGS
You can easily change the settings by simply scanning the barcode options
located on the M6000/M6200/M6300 Setup Menu. The Setup Menu is a sheet of
barcodes supplied with this manual and will be available for download from the
American Microsystems’ website: www.barcodepower.com.
The basic programming sequence is similar to the process used in “SETTING
THE HOST ID AND PORTABLE ID” and follows the form:
START
..CATEGORY
…OPTION (0 to 9)
….ON/OFF or NUMBER DATA
…..EXIT (SAVE CHANGES) or EXIT (IGNORE CHANGES)
Follow these instructions to change any setting:
Step 1: Scan the START label at the top left corner of the
M6000/M6200/M6300 Setup Menu. This puts the M6000 into the
program mode.
Step 2: Scan one of the CATEGORY labels (i.e. Code 39, UPC, Scan Beep,
Remote Shutdown Time)
Step 3: Select the desired numbered option by scanning one of the numeric
labels (0 – 9). If an invalid choice is made the M6000 will emit an
error beep. If there is only one option under the label, such as in
“REMOTE SHUTDOWN TIME”, go on to Step 4.
Step 4: If there is a (ON/OFF) next to the description, scan an ON to enable
or OFF to disable the option.
Example: To enable the MOD 43 check digit on Code 39,
perform the following:
1) Scan the “CODE 39” category label.
2) Scan the option 2) label to select the “MOD 43 CHECK
DIGIT” option.
3) Scan the “ON” label to enable the option.
If there is a range of numbers next to the option, scan numeric
labels located on the right side of the Setup Menu Sheet. Some

10
options require only one (1) digit, these appear as (0-9). Others
require two digits, for example (00-99), and both digits must be
entered.
Example: To set the Portable Shutdown Time to one minute,
perform the following:
1) Scan the “PORTABLE SHUTDOWN TIME” category label.
2) Scan the “0” for the “tens” digit and the “1” for the “ones”
digit. This selects the time “01”, or 1 minute.
Step 5: If you want to make another change within the SAME CATEGORY,
you can scan another option number (i.e. return to Step 3 above). If
you want to change an option in a DIFFERENT CATEGORY, you
MUST first scan the new category (i.e. return to “Step 2” above and
repeat the steps).
Step 6: When you have finished making all the changes, you can either:
1) Scan the “EXIT (SAVE CHANGES)” label on the Setup Menu to
save all the changes and then exit the menu to return to normal
barcode reader operation.
2) Scan the “EXIT (IGNORE CHANGES)” label on the Setup Menu
to discard, without saving, all the changes and then exit the
menu to return to normal barcode reader operation.
