2-4 Introduction to installation
Note: If any of the below operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and check the imager for
any improper connections. Go through all steps again.
2-4-1 Installation - RS-232
1) Connect the RS-232 interface cable to the bottom of the imager.
2) Connect the other end of the interface cable to the serial port on the host. Tighten the two screws
to secure the connector to the port.
3) If the host does not have power supply (on PIN 9), connect the external power supply (DC adapter)
to the RS-232 cable.
Figure 2-3
2-4-2 Installation - USB
The imager attaches directly to a USB host, and is powered by it. If the power supply is not enough,
plesae add additional power.
1) Connect the USB interface cable to the bottom of the imager.
2) Plug the series A connector in the USB host, or an available port of the terminal.
3) Windows will automatically detect the USB device.
Figure 2-4

7
2-5 Auto-detection scanning mode
1) To scan a barcode, present the barcode and ensure that the scan angle from the scan window can
cover the barcode.
2) Upon successful decode, the imager beeps and the LED lights.
3) When the imager stops scanning, the present barcode must be removed to active next scanning.

3 Parameter programming
3-1 Example 1: Single-parameter setting by scanning 1D barcodes
Important notes:
1. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness. LED
will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed.
2. After each successful programming, LED will go off and the imager will beep twice.
3. Throughout the programming barcode menus, the factory default settings are indicated with
asterisks (*).
Two programming modes have been provided as bellows:
❶Single-scan setting
Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting (e.g. %0101D00%) according to the user‘s demand.
Example: to set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Scan the following barcode.
❷Multiple-scan setting
Step 1. Scan the Option barcode barcode (e.g. %0101M%) according to the user‘s demand.
Step 2. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan two
alphanumeric entries from 0 to 9 or A to F, refer to 9 Configuration alphanumeric entry barcode.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2, if more user parameters input are required.
Step 4. Scan the %END% barcode, listed on the lower left hand corner of each parameter setting
part.
Example: to set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Referring to 3-5 RS-232 interface, scan the following barcodes in order.

10
3-2 Example 2: Multiple-parameter setting by scanning a QR code barcode
User can customize a QR code barcode to set multiple parameters. The imager can set multiple
parameters by scanning this single QR code barcode.
1. The data format of the QR code barcode is as following.
% Parameter set 1 % Parameter set 2 % Parameter set N %
<Option barcode index><D/H><Alpha. entries>
···
Note that:
<Option barcode index> means the corresponding 4 digits of Option barcode.
<D/H> means “D”or “H”character. D means that the type of alphanumeric entry is decimal; and H
means that the type of alphanumeric entry is hexadecimal.
<Alpha. entries> is a character string with various length of 2, 4, or other values.
Example: Set 0401->03 (decimal); 8002->0D0A (hexadecimal); 8202->01 (decimal). The customized
QR code barcode contents and symbol are as following.
%0401D03%8002H0D0A%8202D01%
2. Notes of making QR code barcode
The model is chosen as M2. Other requirements, e.g. ECC level, Start mode, etc, are not specified.
Other notes:
1) The contents of a QR code barcode can include several same <Option barcode index> associated
with same or different <Alpha. entries>. In the case of with different <Alpha. entries>, the latest
<Alpha. entries> is the valid one.
2) If any one of the parameter settings is invalid, the total setting is failed. The invalid setting can be
caused by one of the following problems: invalid <Option barcode index>, invalid type of <D/H>,
invalid type, length or value range of <Alpha. entries>, etc.

3-3 Operate the imager by receiving command via UART
Note:
1-
The information in this chapter is provided for the imager with RS232 cable or USB cable.
2-
If the imager is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual COM”.
Please refer to 3-6 USB interface.
3-
Please read 3-7 Hand-held scan & some global settings about the setting of Scanning mode in
details.
UART parameter should be set as below:
(1)
Baud rate: 9600 bps;
(2)
Data bits: 8 bits;
(3)
Stop bit: 1 bit;
(4)
Parity check bit: None;
(5)
Flow control: None.
Guide of control command: all commands are sent by UART
1) Start command: “0x54”(T)
When the imager received the above command, it will start barcode scanning following the setting of
Scanning mode. If the imager is in the mode of “Auto-detection”, the imager will have a single scan,
then returns to “Auto-detection”mode.
2) Stop command: “0x50” (P)
If the Scanning mode is set as “Alternate continue”or “Continue”, and the imager received the above
command, it will stop barcode scanning and act as in an idle mode.
3) Restart command: “0x35” (R)
Once the imager received the above command, it will restart.
Returning message from the imager
1) A successful decode
Once the imager successfully decoded a barcode, the imager will stop scanning and returns the
barcode data to the Host.
2) Not a successful decode
Once the imager failed to decode a barcode before stopping scanning, the imager will return a
message to the Host. The message is set as “0x25, 0x25, 0x4E, 0x6F, 0x52, 0x65, 0x61, 0x64”
(%%NoRead).

3-4 Interface selection
This imager supports interfaces such as RS-232 serial wedge and USB interface. In most of the cases,
simply selecting an appropriate cable provided by the manufacturer will work for a specific interface.
Interface selection:

interface for user.

3-5 RS-232 interface
Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS- If the imager wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal
first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication.
If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout duration, the imager will
issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle: High RTS), the imager can be
set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
XON/XOFF- An XOFF character turns the imager transmission off until the imager receives an XON
character.
ACK/NAK- After transmitting data, the imager expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not
acknowledge) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the imager transmits the same data
again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when
NAKs are received, the imager issues an error indication and discards the data.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the imager when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.
