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.

- 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.

Universal supply module –FTDI-FT232-R driver
Driver for the universal supply module (USM).
On connecting the USM, the drivers are automatically detected by the Windows operating
system and installed if necessary.
If not detected automatically, the driver can be downloaded from the BARTEC download page
or directly from the FTDI website (https://www.ftdichip.com/) and installed manually.
The driver is compatible with:
- Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 --- 32/64 bit

Wiring of universal supply module – RS232 interface
PC/Host with serial RS232-
interface Max. cable length is
15 m USM-corded
(e.g. 1st generation with DIP switch)
Wiring:
Blue wire necessary (example connection to AC)
Green line necessary
The signals RTS and CTS are not in use/no function internally. The terminals can only be used to connect the
wires.
For data lines (green and orange) we strongly recommend to use shielded (e.g. CAT5, similar or higher
quality) cables.
The DIP switch is only populated in the 1st generation of the USM. From the 2nd generation
onwards, the interface is set via programming barcodes.

4.1.3 Setting/programming
The programming barcodes have been taken from the original Zebra Product Reference Guide (PRG).
The functions of the BCS3608ex and BCS3678ex are based on the Zebra DS3608-HP/DS3608-ER and
DS3678-HP/DS3678-ER.
The Guide is available to download from Zebra or from BARTEC:

Function Barcode
Set factory defaults
Scan the barcode for factory settings to remove all
customized defaults and set the digital scanner to factory
default settings (factory defaults can be found in the Zebra
PRG, Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters).
Default settings Hand-held scanner is set as HID device.
Default settings of the RS232 interface (COM)
RS-232 host parameters
Baud rate: 9600 baud
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1-bit
Data bits: 8-bit
Hardware handshaking: None
Software handshaking: None
The hand-held scanner is set as HID device as default. The serial interface still needs to be
activated using a programming barcode.
Scan in the “Standard RS-232” barcode to activate the
serial RS232 interface.

Further customized settings can be performed with the help of the Zebra Product Reference
Guide or the Zebra 123Scan utility.
Programming/setting via the Zebra 123 Scan Utility is not supported via the USM.
A programming cable is required.
4.1.4 Testing communication/data transmission
The communication/data transmission on the host PC can be tested with the help of a terminal program or a
software keyboard wedge.
A software wedge or other application must be installed on the host PC for data transmission
when using a universal supply module.
The software wedge or other application is used to convert the incoming data to a keyboard
entry and to enter the data into the field currently active on the host PC.
Terminal program
The test with a terminal program described below was conducted with the H-Term application.
Alternatively any other terminal program that supports serial communication may be used.
Testing communication/data transmission
Open terminal program
Select serial interface to which the BCS3608ex is connected (COM1 in the example).
Can be checked in the device manager.
Perform settings in the terminal program and press ‘Connect’.
Read barcode with scanner and check in the terminal program that the data are displayed.

Data transmission is OK if the barcode data is displayed in the “Received Data” window.
If not, check connection and programming.

Max. cable length is 5
m UVM-corded
(e.g. 1st generation with DIP switch)
Wiring:
Blue wire necessary (example connection to AC)
Green line necessary
For data lines (green) we strongly recommend to use shielded (e.g. CAT5, similar or higher quality) cables.
The DIP switch is only populated in the 1st generation of the USM. From the 2nd generation
onwards, the interface is set via programming barcodes.

5.1.3 Setting/programming
The programming barcodes have been taken from the original Zebra Product Reference Guide (PRG).
The functions of the BCS3608ex and BCS3678ex are based on the Zebra DS3608-HP and DS3678-HP.
The Guide is available to download from Zebra or from BARTEC:

Function Barcode
Set factory defaults
Scan the barcode for factory settings to remove all
customized defaults and set the digital scanner to factory
default settings (factory defaults can be found in the Zebra
PRG, Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters).
Default settings Hand-held scanner is set as HID device.
Default settings of the USB interface (virtual COM)
RS-232 host parameters
Baud rate: 9600 baud
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1-bit
Data bits: 8-bit
Hardware handshaking: None
Software handshaking: None
USB functions only as SPP (Serial Port Profile), HID is not supported.
The universal supply module is detected by the host PC as a serial connection (virtual COM
interface)
Further customized settings can be performed with the help of the Zebra Product Reference
Guide or the Zebra 123Scan utility.
Programming/setting via the Zebra 123 Scan Utility is not supported via the USM.
A programming cable is required.

5.1.4 Testing communication/data transmission
The communication/data transmission on the host PC can be tested with the help of a terminal program or a
software keyboard wedge.
A software wedge or other application must be installed on the host PC for data transmission
when using a universal supply module.
The software wedge or other application is used to convert the incoming data to a keyboard
entry and to enter the data into the field currently active on the host PC.
Terminal program
The test with a terminal program described below was conducted with the H-Term application.
Alternatively any other terminal program that supports serial communication may be used.
Testing communication/data transmission
Open terminal program
Select serial interface to which the BCS3608ex is connected (COM6 in the example).
Can be checked in the device manager.
Perform settings in the terminal program and press ‘Connect’.
Read barcode with scanner and check in the terminal program that the data are displayed.
Data transmission is OK if the barcode data is displayed in the “Received Data” window.
If not, check connection and programming.
