2. Note
These instructions use simple examples to illustrate how a BCS36x8ex series hand-held scanner can be
connected to a PC. The connection examples explain which components are needed, how the connection
should be performed, and which settings and programming are required.
The aim is to provide simple guidelines that anyone can use to establish and test the connection and
communication/data transmission.
3. Programming Tools
There are 2 options available for programming the BCS36x8ex series.
1. Programming via Barcodes.
For programming using barcodes, the original Zebras manuals can be used. With the help of the
programmable codes, extensive settings can be made on the scanner.

- Ultra Rugged Scanners --- DS3608-HP/DS3678-HP; DS3608-ER/DS3678-ER
- Manuals
2. Programming via Zebra 123 Scan Utility.
The utility is a free software tool from Zebra.
It allows a simple and fast configuration of the BCS36x8ex series via USB.
The configuration can either be transferred directly to the scanner via USB or alternatively,
programmable codes can be generated for scanning.

The Zebra 123 Scan Utility support only USB connection to the scanner.
The Utility is running on Windows operating system.
Programming / setting via the Zebra 123 Scan Utility is not supported via the Universal Power
Supply Module (UVM).
A programming cable is required.
Further notes on programming can be found in the:
 BARTEC user manual.
 Original Zebra documentation. The explosion-proof BARTEC hand scanners are
functionally based on the following Zebra hand scanners:
- BCS3608ex-IS is based on Zebra DS3608-HP
- BCS3678ex-IS is based on Zebra DS3678-HP
- BCS3608ex-NI based on Zebra DS3608-HP or DS3608-ER
- BCS3678ex-NI based on Zebra DS3678-HP or DS3678-ER

Maximum cable length supported: 15 m
Number of cores and recommended cable cross section: see BARTEC User Manual.
(http://automation.bartec.de/scanner.htm)
NB:
– The default setting for the hand-held scanner is as an HID device. The serial
interface still needs to be activated with the help of a programming barcode.
The universal supply module is then detected by the host PC as a series connection.
– Please use standard, shielded data lines to prevent external disturbances.
Recommendation: e.g. use CAT5, similar or higher quality cables
1 x PC with serial (COM) interface
1 x Terminal program or software keyboard wedge for testing virtual COM communication and data
transmission on the host PC.
