Reading your First Code
The DataMan 100 is pre-congured for Manual triggering and symbology
discrimination. To verify that your reader is operational, click on the
Results Display step in the Setup Tool, place a code in front of the reader,
and press the black trigger button. The Setup Tool should display the
image and the decoded string.
Troubleshooting
If you are unable to read a code, verify that
You have scanned the correct connection code on page 14.
If you are using your PC’s USB to power the DataMan 100, make sure
that your PC’s USB port can supply enough power (2.5W peak). Connect
the DataMan 100 power supply (DM100-PWR-000) to the USB adapter
cable if needed.
If you are using a direct USB connection, make sure that the USB
adapter cable is connected to the DataMan 100 before you connect the
USB cable to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug from
the USB cable while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver crash
on the PC.
If you are using a USB connection with the I/O module, make sure that
the DataMan 100 is connected to the I/O module before you connect
the I/O module to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug
from the I/O module while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver
crash on the PC.
