Handheld Barcode Reader

2Description
The Balluff BVS HS-QC handheld barcode reader has been specifically
created to meet the market demand for omni-directional reading per-
formance on virtually all codes at an affordable price. Elegant design
details are incorporated into a smaller, balanced lightweight enclosure
without sacrificing durability.
Ideally suited for applications at the receiving/dispatching of goodsde-
partments this handheld reader features a new illumination and aiming
system developed with the unique intent to reduce visual stress of the
operator during the daily reading activities. It consists of a soft, dark red
illumination combined with two blue LED triangles pointing at the tar-
geted barcode. The result is a precise aiming system which contributes
to low eye fatigue, yet still allows top operator efficiency.
Constructed with a combination of design and performance-based ide-
als such as barcode reading snappiness, motion tolerance, perfect
ergonomics and an attractive price, this 2D imager is the ideal solution
for the customer who is looking to replace their linear only reading
readers with image-based technology.
Omni-
Directional
Operating
To read a symbol simply aim the reader and pull the
trigger. The BVS HS-Q reader is a powerful omni-
directional reader, so the orientation of the symbol is
not important.
The ‘Green Spot’ for good-read feedback helps to
improve productivity in noisy environments or in situ-
ations where silence is required. When using the
product with the cradle at a 45° position, the aiming
pattern can work as an aiming system to aid in posi-
tioning the barcode for quick and intuitive reading.
Decoding
Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D bar-
codes, including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes,
Postal Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as
GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar
Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional).
The data stream — acquired from decoding a sym-
bol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.

4 Using the Balluff BVS HS-Q reader
The Balluff BVS HS-Q reader normally functions by capturing and
decoding codes. The aiming system is activated on trigger pull and
indicates the center of the field of view which should be positioned over
the barcode:
Aiming System
Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern
A beam illuminates the label. The projected pattern of the aiming sys-
tem will be smaller when the reader is closer to the barcode and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or ele-
ments (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with
larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
If the aiming system is centered you will get a good read. Successful
reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green spot
LED indicator which is backprojected at the read code.
Reference the Balluff BVS HS-Q reader operation manual (OPM) on

programmable settings.

5 Selecting the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its
host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for information and
programming for the interface type the reader is connected to (for
example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appro-
priate barcode to select your system’s correct interface type.
5.1 Interface Selection
The reader model will support one of the following sets of host inter-
faces:
RS-232, USB
Information and programming options for each interface type are pro-
vided in this section. For defaults and additional information associated
with each interface, proceed to the corresponding chapter in the oper-
ation manual.

5.1.1 Configuring the Interface
Scan the appropriate programming barcode to select the interface type
for your system.
NOTE
Unlike some other programming features and
options, interface selections require that you scan
only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan
an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an inter-
face selection barcode.
Some interfaces require the reader to start in the dis-
abled state when powered up. If additional reader
configuration is desired while in this state, pull the
trigger and hold for 5 seconds. The reader will
change to a state that allows programming with bar-
codes.

6 Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard default features.
After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, select
other options and customize your reader through use of the program-
ming barcodes available in the operation manual. Check the corre-
sponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing
and Symbologies chapters of the OPM.
6.1 Using Programming Barcodes
This manual contains barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your
reader. Some programming barcode labels, like the , require only the
scan of that single label to enact the change.
Other barcodes require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode
prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter
Programming Mode; scan the desired parameter settings; scan the
ENTER/EXIT barcode again to accept your changes, which exits Pro-
gramming Mode and returns the reader to normal operation.
6.2 Configure Other Settings
Additional programming barcodes are available in the OPM to allow for
customizing programming features. If your installation requires different
programming than the standard factory default settings, refer to the
OPM.
6.3 Resetting Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or
you’ve changed some options and want your custom factory settings
restored, scan the barcode below to reset the reader to its initial config-
uration. Reference the OPM for other options, and a listing of standard
factory settings.
NOTE
Factory defaults are based on the interface type.
Be sure your reader is configured for the correct
interface before scanning this label. See 5 for
more information.
