Chapter 1 - Getting Started
Introduction
The fixed mount 2D Imager is an economical, durable solution for a wide variety of data
collection applications. The Imager features the following:
•A tough, ergonomic aluminium housing for comfort and durability.
•Omni-directional reading of a variety of printed symbols, including the most popular
linear and 2D matrix symbologies.
•RS-232 or USB and laser emulation communication outputs.
•The ability to capture and download images to a PC for signature capture software
applications, and PC-based decoding.
For software updates and additional information, visit the C2R Technologie
Web site at www.c2r-technologie.com.
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming instructions for the
engine. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are
also included.
C2R Technologie bar code engines are factory programmed for the most common terminal
and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is
accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking the Colibri
After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM Engine, take the following steps:
•Check to make sure everything you ordered is present.
•Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
•Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who
delivered the carton.

Connecting the Scanner
1 Turn offpower to the terminal/computer.
2 If using a USB connection, connect the included interface cable to the scanner and
to the matching USB port on the back of the computer. Skip to step 5.
Note: For additional USB programming and technical information,refer to “USB Application
Note,” available at www.c2r-technologie.com .
3 If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to the scanner and
to the matching port on the back of the computer.

4 Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable. Plug in the power
supply.
5 Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps.
6 If connecting the Engine using an RS-232 interface, all communication parameters
between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port
using RS-232 protocol. Scan the RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs the Engine
for an RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix
of a CR LF.
7 Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the
back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a bar code is successfully decoded.
Reading Techniques
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.
Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol
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 (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.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings
C2R scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands
to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu
Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest technical support office for further
information.
Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do
so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before each menu command or sequence
you want saved. If your command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then
a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set
Custom Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom
defaults.
When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the
Save Custom Defaults bar code.
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just
scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the
setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper
volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper
Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults
will remain, but the beeper volume settiing will be updated.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom
Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets
the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the
scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the
custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory
defaults. It also disables all plugins.
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some
options and want tto restore the scanner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove
Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the scanner to the
factory default settings.
The Menu Commands, beginning on list the factory default settings for each of the commands
(indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
