NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and complied with
the limits for a Class a digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide a reasonable protection against harmful
interface when the equipment is operated under a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interface to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interface in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interface at his own expenses.
Note: All brands and trademarks shall belong to their
respective owner.
Note: Specification is subject to changes without
notice.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation shall be subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interface, and
(2) This device must accept any interface received,
including interface that may cause undesirable
operation.

Using the ArgoxScan 8000
The ArgoxScan can automatically scan barcode at a distance.
Simply aim and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed
along the center of the light bar emitted from the reading
window. This bar must cover the entire code.
Successful scanning shall be obtained by tilting the scanner
with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections that
impair the reading performance.
Recommended Steps
When the required settings have been configured, all settings
are stored in non- volatile memory of scanner after reading
EXIT Label. Recommended steps are as follows.
1) Host interface will be automatically detected. User does
not need to set host interface for the scanner.
2) Set interface to optimize protocol of scanner with your
host in interface section.
3) Set system control of scanner, such as specific
adjustments double confirm, power saving, indicator
and scanning mode which you prefer usage in system
control section.
4) Set code options of scanner for your usage in code
option section. You must make sure to enable the
symbology first, then Min./Max. code length, code ID
checksum and truncate digits are also converted.
5) Set string format of the scanner, such as preamble,
postamble Prefix, suffix, code ID and code name
transmission for your application in string format
section.
Note: If still not work properly. Please contact your dealer for
further information.

Introduction
Installation- Keyboard Wedge
1) First of all, you must switch off power for the
terminal/computer.
2) Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the
terminal/computer and connect to the interface cable of
the scanner.
3) Connect the interface cable of the scanner to the
terminal/computer.
4) Turn the terminal/computer power on.
RS-232
1) Disconnect power to the terminal/computer.
2) Connect the external power supply (DC adapter) to the
interface cable of the scanner.
3) Plug the serial connector into the serial port on the back
of your computer/terminal. Tighten the two screws to
secure the connector to the port.
4) Plug the power pack into power source.
5) Once the scanner has been fully connected, turn the
terminal/computer power back on.
USB (Simulate with keyboard wedge)
1) Connect the USB cable between to the
terminal/computer.
2) Windows will automatically detect the USB device.
Note: If any of the above operation is incorrect, turn off the
power immediately and checking any improper
connections. Go through all above steps again.
