1) First of all, you must make sure that the power is
disconnected form your equipment before connecting
the scanner. Beside, you also have to check the
cable connector of the scanner match your
equipment interface correctly.
2) Boot up your computer after connecting the scanner
with your equipment, the scanner will make a long
music and light the LED, above scanner to indicate a
successful power on. Trigger the button, the scan
line in front of scanner will active. Now you can start
to set programming optimal usage.
Recommened Steps
When the required settings have been configured,
all settings are stored in non volatile memory of scanner
after reading EXIT label. There are recommended steps
as follows.

First time, you may ignore it unless you want to
change the scanner into other interface usage.
2) Set interface protocol to optimize of scanner with
your host.
3) Set system control of scanner, such as specific
adjustments, indicator, scanning mode, code ID and
code name transmission which you prefer usage in
system Control at

16.
4) Set code option of scanner for your usage. You must
make sure to enable the symbology first, then
Min./Max. code length, code ID, checksum and
truncate digits are also convered.

Numeric Key Position
This function is only available for IBM PC/AT, PS/2,IBM
5576 series personal computers and compatible
machines. The case of Keypad selected enables
numeric output as keypad output (Num Lock On).
Function Key Emulation
This function is only available for IBM computer
compatible machines. When the function is enabled, the
ASCII code values that are between 1 to 1BH will be
changed all characters (which can be used for the
RS-232 communication protocol) to the Function Keys
in the transmitted data. The conversion process
includes Preamble/Postamble, Prefix/Suffix codes
programmed.
Keyboard Simulation
All of the PCs will be check each devices (include
keyboard interface) by themselves while the host
computers power ON. If the feature is enabled, it can
pass the keyboard installation checking by host
computer while power ON. It is recommended to
program the function to enable without keyboard
installation.
Caps Lock
The Print-Case is related with "Caps Lock" status.
When Upper case is select and "Caps Lock On" or
Lower case is select and "Caps Lock Off" the output
style accord with on the character case.
Case Conversion
This function of selected can force to output all
characters converter to the same case (upper or lower).
Inter-Char. Delay (Set value)
It is a time delay between data characters output. An
Inter-Character Delay Timer ranges from 0 - 99 ms can
be used to match various host computer or terminal
response time. Adjust this timer and try out the shortest
delay time that until works properly.
Transmit Delay (Set value)
It is a time delay between barcode data output. The
feature will be used for shorter barcode data output or
multi-field scanning.
Comment 4
Response Delay (Set value)
The time out is a pre-defined delay time for serial
communication of scanner to wait for handshaking,
acknowledgment or non-acknowledgment from the host
computer. When the time out occurs, the scanner will
issue 5 warning beeps. The feature is particularly useful
for some applications in which the host computer takes
a longer time to respond with a matchable signal.
Code-39 Emulation
The feature is able to translate all barcode symbols (as
the scanner can support as standard Code-39 Wand
emulation output for your decoder device.
Power-on Auto Trigger
The feature can auto trigger the bottom of scanner to
activate the light source after the successful start beep.
Field Control
The scanner can read-out many sets of barcode data
on the same scanning line in the same time if
Multi-Field of Field Control were selected. The direction
of read-out code is from left to right even different type
symbol code.
Double Confirm
The feature should be depended on the symbol and
quality of barcodes reading. If the enabled to be
selected, the scanner will require many times
successful decoding to valid-data the barcode data. The
value of confirms time can be set by Double Confirm
Times function, and the more confirm times the more
inhibitive miss-reading code. Therefore you select a
higher value then read-out speed reducing.
Code Name Transmission
The feature is useful to show unknown barcode symbol,
which include the readable barcode symbol of scanner.
When the enable is selected, the symbol code name
will be shown before the code data.
Code ID Position
The code ID can be transmitted before or after the code
data by this selected when Code ID Transmit enabled.
Normally, the position is before the code data.

ISBN/ISSN Translation
Code Length Transmission The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) and
ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) are two
kinds of barcode bookend label. The ISBN is a 10 digits
with leading "978" and the ISSN is a 8 digits with
leading "977" of the "EAN-13" symbol code.
The length of data characters can be transmitted before
the code data when the enable is selected. The total
length is a number of barcode data except Truncate
Leading/Ending Digits. The Code Length has two digits.
Double Confirm Times (Set value)
This feature should be selected according to the symbol
and the quality of barcodes being read. The value of
time is successful decoding to validate the barcode data
times. When the more value is set, the more slowly
reading speed and the more higher data security.
Min./Max. Code Length (Set value)
A Min. and Max. length ranging form 1 to 48 can be set to
qualify data entry. (Return to default value if it is set to be "0".)
The length is defined to be the actual barcode data length sent.
Label with length exceeds these limits will be rejected. Make
sure that the Minimum length setting is no greater than the Max.
length setting, or all the labels of the symbol will not be read. In
particular, you can set the same value for both Min. and Max.
reading length to force the fixed length barcode decoded. The
values of setting can not effect in some fixed length labels of
symbol (i.e. UPC/EAN/JAN call WPC).
Add-on Lock with WPC
The ADD-ON barcode is the supplemental code and often
present the 2 or 5 supplement digits with WPC. The feature will
force output the ADD-ON code together in reading WPC with
ADD-ON symbol barcode if ADD-ON Lock is enabled. Therefore
it can not read the WPC barcode without ADD-ON. It is
recommended to program the ADD-ON to be enabled while the
ADD-ON code must be read out.
Expansion
The expansion of function is used only for UPC-E and
EAN-8 code reading, It can extend to 13-digit with
leading "0" numeric system when the feature is
enabled.
Truncate Leading Zeroes
The leading "0" digits of barcode data characters can be
truncated when the function is enabled. The feature is
used only for WPC code reading.
Truncate Leading/Ending Digits (Set value)
The leading or ending digits of barcode data characters
can be truncated when the values of settings are not
zero. It will be read nothing else only beep when the
Truncate value is more than barcode data digits or the
value of Truncate Leading is overlap with the Ending.
The maximum value of Truncate digits is 15.
Code ID (Set value)
A Code ID is a character that used to represent the
symbol begins decoded upon succeeding reading. The
code ID is prefixed to the data begins or tail transmitted
if the feature is selected. There are some labels of
symbol (i.e. UPCE and EAN-8) include 2 Code IDs.
Code-32 (Italian Pharmac.) Format
The Code -32 symbol is an another version of Code-32
that is a barcode data from digit 0 to 9. The leading A is
an optional character that can be allowed to transmit or
not.
Preamble/Postamble Transmission (Set value)
There are two characters (Data0 and Data1) could be
programmed for both Preamble and Postamble data
(include the Function Key Emulation). They can be
automatically appended to the data transmitted when
each barcode is decoded.
Prefix/Suffix Transmission (Set value)
Up to 15 characters could be programmed for both
Prefix and Suffix data. The Prefix data programmed will
be placed after Preamble data and before the barcode
data, and the Suffix data programmed will be placed
after the barcode data and before the postamble data.

7Frequent Question
Q: Why scanner block the keyboard operation?
A: Check the cable connection with your equipment, or
re-plug in calbe with your reader. Then turn power on
again.
Q: If scanner has a good read beep but nothing
transferring after read a label.
A: Using the Setting List at

9 to show what current
setting of scanner is, or reset to Default, (or select
right Interface default if scanner has been changed
into another interface used), then re-program
scanner again.
Q: If scanner needs to read single digit code.
A: Refer to Min. code length of code option and set it to
be "01" for single code readable.
Q: If scanner isn't able to discriminate an unknown
label, but read manual very well.
A: Refer to Code Name Transmission at

17 to set
Enable, read a barcode label, then you will know
what symbology is read. Beside, it maybe need to
verify checksum. Refer to verify checksum of code
option and set Enable.
Q: If scanner transfers character very slow or loses
some characters on screen in keyboard interface
after reading a label.
A: You may set caps lock to be Alt+Keypad at

10 to
transmit scan code. Otherwise, it maybe mis-match
of transmission rate. Therefore, you can adjust an
appropriate Inter-char. Delay to match your
equipment. See

11.
(Please contact with your dealer if scanner dose not
work properly.
Frequent Question 8
Q: If scanner dosen't need an Enter character
addition after each barcode label transmission.
A: Refer to postamble transmission at

33, then set
Disable.
Q: If scanner want to read a label as function key
for your apprication.
A: Refer to function key simulation at

11 and set
Enable, then scanner can transmit a code as
function key. It is used for keyboard interface only.
Beside, you must make sure that a label is encoded
as function key, and its ASCII code is from 0016 to
1F16. Please refer to ASCII code table at

35.
Q: Could I change scanner into different type
interface directly?
A: You can change factory interface default nto other
type interface. By plug-in different cable, program
scanner and set right interface to exit, then the
scanner will be change into different type interface.
However, you must make sure what cable you need.
Q: How to set Specific Adjustments functions?
A: For example1: Set code 39 Min. code length at

