Windows Forgets.
The MS Windows Plug & Play feature is not bullet proof. Occasionally if a computer has been running for
many hours/days without being reset the MS Windows operating system can lose or forget that certain USB
peripherals (like bar code readers) are attached. If this occurs a computer re-boot will correct the anomaly.
Testing the DB-6023 wireless scanner.
The scanner can now be tested. The DB-6023 is an Area Image CCD scanner, when the trigger is
depressed it will emit a band of red light with white background illumination that should be positioned equally
about and upon the bar code to be scanned.
The DB-6023 should be held a short distance away from the bar code being scanned (50 – 150 mm) and not
immediately upon it. The required distance will vary between bar code types and depends upon the original
density at which the bar code was produced, generally bar codes produced at higher print densities will
require the DB-6023 to be held closer to the bar code. The scanner SHOULD NOT be held perpendicularly
above the bar code but should be held at a slight angle to the perpendicular for best scanning results.
Initially while scanning with the trigger depressed gradually adjust the distance the DB-6023 is held from the
bar code until an audible beep is heard, this will indicate the optimum focal range for the particular style of
bar codes being used. Once this optimum range is discovered this should be the distance the scanner
should normally be held away from the bar code during regular use.
Auto Trigger Option
When shipped the DB-6023’s sleep setting is set to an active state, this is done to prevent the battery from
being over discharged during transit/storage and to preserve the low initial charge on the battery, i.e. It is a
safety measure. To awaken the scanner briefly depress the trigger,
The DB-6023 also incorporates an “Auto Trigger” feature that can be initiated by scanning the “Continuous”
command bar code on sheet 2 of the supplied operation menu. The auto trigger feature replaces the need to
squeeze the trigger for each bar code scan, instead all that is required is to bring the scanner close to the bar
code to allow the inbuilt IR detector to initiate the scan process.
Please Note:-
Once scanned it will be necessary to withdraw or turn the scanner away from the bar code to allow the IR
detector to reset before another bar code can be scanned,
An additional sub feature of the auto trigger mode is the ability to operate the DB-6023 as a hands free
presentation mode scanner when parked in the cradle. If required to operate as a presentation mode
scanner it will be necessary to turn the sleep mode off. (See operation menu sheet 1 “None Sleep”).
Sleep time OFF is Not recommended during stock taking to avoid compromising battery usage time.
Charging and recharging the battery.
When the DB-6023 is first received the factory fitted battery may only be partially charged and will require
topping up, Simply sitting the 6023 scanner in the cradle will accomplish this.
While the scanner is being charged a blue light will be illuminated on the head of the scanner, when the
scanner is fully charged the blue light will change to green. A fully drained battery could take up to 4 hours to
charge, during normal usage if the light on the head changes to red it indicates the battery charge is low.
If the scanning light fails to come on when the trigger is depressed or the wireless range dramatically
reduces (usually accompanied with du-du-du sounds) the battery should be recharged immediately..
