Communication
Please follow the steps to set up the communication
between the scanner and cradle.
1) The scanner must scan “Scanner Master Mode”
barcode, to set the scanner in Master mode.
2) Scan the Bluetooth MAC address code located on
the bottom of the cradle.
3) When the Bluetooth MAC address code was
successfully scanned, scanner will sound 2 short
beeps with blue and red LED flash once.
4) Wait approximately five seconds, for completing
the connection process with a long beep sound.

5. Configuring
5.1 Preface
How to configure this device: The Barcode
Programming Feature gives the possibility to change
the scanner settings with use programming codes.
5.2 Changing Scanner Settings with
Programming Codes
You can setup your device by scanning all necessary

programming code that meet applications.
An Example:
For changing the Baud rate to 38400 only scan the
programming code that represents this.
After reading a valid programming code the scanner
will give Di-Du beeps and red-blue LEDs indicator will
flash. And the cradle will give green LED indicator
flash.
At any moment, you can stop your programming and

Set Scanner /Cradle factory default
The scanner and cradle factory default settings are
shown with bold < > in the following pages.
Reset all configuration parameters to their factory
default setting. After this reset you must select all
required parameters that meet applications.
6.2 Scanning Triggering
<Level>
A reading session begins (lighting and decode
processing on) when beam is activated and stops
when beam is deactivated.
Continuous Scanning
When the scanner is turned on a continuous reading
session begins (lighting and decode processing on).
Pulse
A reading session begins when beam is activated
and stays on until a period of inactivity lasting the
time specified by the timeout.
After the timeout, the scan engine turns off.

18
Flashing
Flashing mode allows power up the lighting and
decoding are on (no need to activate the trigger line)
and after a period of inactivity lasting the time
specified by the trigger timeout, the scanner starts
flashing, checking for a bar code to be read.
When a bar code is detected, the lighting and
decoding automatically turn on and stay on until
another period of inactivity (timeout), after the timeout
the scanner starts flashing again.
Autostand
This mode allows you to switch from Flashing trigger
mode to Level trigger mode.
Autostand begins in flashing mode: At power up the
lighting and decoding are on (no need to activate the
trigger line) and after a period of inactivity lasting the
time specified by the trigger timeout, the scanner
starts flashing.
To switch to Level trigger mode activate the trigger
line (press the trigger).
When in Level trigger mode, after a period of
inactivity lasting the time specified by the trigger
timeout, the scanner switches back to flashing mode.
Toggle
This mode allows lighting and decoding toggle when
the trigger line is activated.
First trigger activation = lighting and decoding on,
second trigger activation = lighting and decoding off.

19
Presentation
This mode allows power up lighting and decoding are
on. After a period of inactivity lasting the time
specified by the trigger timeout, the lighting turns off
or is dimmed. When a new bar code is presented the
lighting and decoding restart and stay on until
another period inactivity.
6.3 Trigger Time Out
