USING QUICKSCANTM MOBILE READER AND
CRADLE
The QuickScan Mobile reader and cradle build a Cordless Reading System for
the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data.
Standard models can be connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS-232,
Wedge or Pen emulation cable. All models are suited for single-cradle layouts.
The LEDs signal the QuickScan Mobile cradle status, as described in the
following table:
LED BEEPER STATUS

-
Yellow On = QuickScan®Mobile cradle is

and commands from the Host or the reader.

READING ANGLE
QuickScanTM Mobile readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply
aim and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the
light bar emitted from the reading window. This bar must cover the entire code.
Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode
to avoid direct reflections, which could impair the reading performance. See the
figures below.
Successful reading is obtained by an audible tone.
OK Not Advised
HANDS-FREE USE
When using the QuickScan Mobile on the cradle, remember to lock the reader
by pushing up the locking system as indicated in the following figure.

USING YOUR QUICKSCANTM MOBILE READING SYSTEM
Follow the procedure below to start using your QuickScan Mobile reading
system:
1. Connect a QuickScan Mobile cradle to the Host. For installation and
connection information see page 5.
2. Insert the QuickScan Mobile reader into the cradle to start the battery
charging.
A full charge of the Lithium battery takes 3.5 – 6 hours.
To achieve the best battery life, it is recommended to perform a
full battery charge before using the reader in hand-held mode.
NOTE
In hands-free use, you can immediately start using the reader, since it is
powered by the cradle.
3. Configure the QuickScan Mobile reader.
4. Configure the QuickScan Mobile cradle. See QuickScan Mobile cradle
configuration on page 8.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
To change the battery of your reader, you must:
1. Unscrew the battery cover screw (Figure 1)
2. Unplug the white connector and remove the old battery (Figure 2)
3. Insert the new battery and plug in the white connector
When inserting the new battery into the handle pay attention to
position the battery and the connector just as shown in Figure 3.

QUICKSCAN MOBILE CRADLE CONFIGURATION
The QuickScan Mobile cradle configuration can be performed in two ways:
either by sending configuration strings from the Host via the RS-232 or
USB-COM interface or by reading configuration barcodes with the reader.
Serial/USB-COM Configuration
By connecting the QuickScan Mobile cradle to a PC through an RS-232 or USB
cable (only USB-COM interface) it is possible to send configuration strings from
the PC to the reader. Using this method you can also send new configuration
strings from the PC to the reader or upgrade application software onto the
reader.
QUICKSCAN MOBILE READER CONFIGURATION
When the QuickScan Mobile cradle is connected and powered, configure the
QuickScan®Mobile reader by reading the following codes in the given sequence
and follow the instructions.
Note: for the numeric code selection of step 3, use the table at the end of this
Quick Reference Guide.

USB INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
The USB interface is compatible with:
- Windows 98 (and later)
- Mac SO 8.0 (and later)
- 4690 Operating System
START-UP
As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by
communicating with the cradle. Before the cradle is ready, the correct USB
driver must be loaded.
For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD interface is
included in the Host Operating System and will either be loaded automatically or
will be suggested by the O.S. and should therefore be selected from the dialog
box (the first time only).
You can now read codes with the associated QuickScan Mobile reader. At this
point you can read the USB interface configuration code according to your
application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the
USB-COM interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from the
USB Device Installation software which can be downloaded from the web site:
http://www.scanning.datalogic.com.
The cradle is ready.
First Start Up
Connect cradle to Host
Select desired USB interface code
(USB-KBD is default)
Read test codes.
