Using the ArgoxScan 9500
The ArgoxScan 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, especially for 2D barcode.
Recommended Steps
When the required settings have been configured, all settings
are stored in non- volatile memory of scanner after reading
configuration barcodes. Label. Recommended steps are as follows.
1) Set right host interface for your 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.

Reading Skills of AS-9500
The engine has a view finder that projects a bright red or
green aiming beam that corresponds to the engine’s
horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered
over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for
a good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the
code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with
smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit.
Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read
farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols Linear
bar code 2D Matrix symbol (on a page or on an object), hold the
engine at an appropriate distance from the target, send a trigger
command, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the
code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be
necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

15
Programming AS-9500
Series Scanner
To program the AS- 9500, you must scan a series of programming
barcodes in the correct order. Fold out the back cover of this
manual. You will see a table of alphanumeric barcodes, which are
used to program the various options presented.
To program each option, you must:
1. Scan the Program barcodes.
2. Enter the option mode by scanning the option barcodes
3. The necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan these
alphanumeric entries from the Program Chart. To confirm
above steps, you must scan the Save barcode.
.

Interface Selection
This decoder built-in scanner comes in one model and
supports interfaces such as RS232 serial, USB virtual COM
and USB HID. In most of the cases, simply selecting an
appropriate cable and configure the proper interface by following
interface selection.
Interface selection: You can change factory interface default
(USB Virtual COM ) for other type interface. By plugging
different cables, setting right interface, then scan the interface
barcode, power cycle the scanner will be changed to another
interface. However, you must make sure which cable you need.

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character.
If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F
decimal (text, digits,and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For
applications which require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data
bits per character. Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for
validity. Default = None.

RS-232

19
RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to
host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the
CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the
normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal
from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay)
duration, the scanner halts transmission until it detects another
active CTS signal.
Xon/Xoff- When the host computer is unable to accept data, it
sends a Xoff code to inform the scanner to suspend data
transmission, and Xon to continue.
ACK/NAK- When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the scanner
waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or (not acknowledge) from the
host computer after data transmission, and will resend in response
to a NAK.
Response Delay
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232
Receiver Time-Out expires. A trigger command resets the
time-out. When an RS-232 receiver is sleeping, a character
may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out.
A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver.
The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up.
Change the RS-232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code
below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover
of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300
seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).
