Installation
Connect the scanner to the host (terminal) using the interface (I/
F) cable as shown below. A cable from an older existing installa-
tion can be re-used for RS-232 interfaces. If external power is
used/needed, plug the AC Adapter into the AC wall outlet, then
connect it to the unit as shown in ‘b’ of the illustration.
Scan some known-good bar code samples to verify correct oper-
ation. The scanner should beep and/or flash its good read LED1
and send the bar code data to the host or terminal. If not, use the
Troubleshooting section of this guide to identify any problems.

abled” by another user.

How to Scan
Bar codes can be presented to the scanner’s window or pushed
past it using a “sweep” technique. The scanner can also be pro-
grammed to initiate a scan of a cell phone or other LCD bar code
object, or an image capture upon pushing the Camera Button.
Scanner Button
The Scanner Button performs multiple functions, depending on
how long it is pressed:
NOTE
Volume changes made using the Scanner Button are lost
when the scanner is powered down and are reset to the
configured setting. If you wish to permanently change
the volume, use the special programming labels in the
Product Reference Guide.

Momentary
(when scanner is
awake)
Increments volume
Press the button momentarily
to increase speaker volume.
When the loudest volume is
reached, a repeated press of
the button cycles volume back
to the lowest setting, then vol-
ume increases on subsequent
press(es). Five volume levels
are available.
Hold, then
release when the
beeper sounds
Increments tone
Press the button for approxi-
mately 2 seconds, then release.
Each time this is done, the
beeper will sound at one of
three tones. Stop when the
desired tone (high, medium or
low) is sounded.
4 Seconds Scanner Diagnostics
Modea
This mode allows system sup-
port personnel to troubleshoot
problems with the scanner and
is used to determine if it can
read bar codes. Press the but-
ton for 8 seconds or cycle
power to exit Scanner Diagnos-
tics Mode and reset the scan-
ner.
8 Seconds Resets ScannerbOnly system support person-
nel should perform a reset.
a. By standard default, this function is normally disabled to prevent
accidental activation by users.
b. Users should not perform scanner resets except under the direction
of trained systems support personnel.

Camera Button
The Camera Button provides the unit with the ability to capture
images. See Camera Button Mode on page 12 to enable this fea-
ture. Destination and image type can be specified. Reference the
PRG for additional information and programming options.
LED and Beeper Indicators
The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green LED illuminates to
indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables
that follow list these indications. An exception is that the scan-
ner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned
on. For example, some indications (such as the power-up beep)
can be disabled using programming bar code labels.
LED
INDICATION INDICATION COMMENT
Power-on
indication Bright green flash
Indicates the scanner has finished all its
power-up tests and is now ready for

continuously changes
from off to dim to off.
The scanner is in Sleep Mode. To wake the
scanner up, move an object in front of its
window or press the button atop the unit.
This indication is optionally configurable,
and may have been programmed to
behave differently.
Host Disable

The good read beep indication is config-
urable. Options include: Enable/dis-
able, frequency, duration and volume.
See the Product Reference Guide (PRG)
for more information.

ing upon the fea-
ture(s) being
configured.
The Beeper will sound as programming
bar code labels are scanned, indicating
progress during scanner configuration.

ured to use a WAV file. See the PRG for more information on pro-
gramming this feature.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Scanner does not power on Exchange the power supply with a known
good power supply and retest operation.
No communication with the host
Consult your technical support personnel
or refer to your host system manual to
verify the proper interface type, cable and
connection port(s) for the scanner. Verify
the interface cable is securely attached to
the host and the scanner.
The scanner will not read bar codes at
all, or reads poorly
Make sure the window is clean. Check
that the bar codes are of sufficient quality
to be recognized by the scanner. Wrin-
kled, smudged, or torn labels can cause
the scanner to not read at all. Scan
known-good labels of an active symbolo-
gyato check the scanner's read operation.
If the scanner still does not function properly, consult the Product Reference Guide
(PRG) or contact your local supplier or Datalogic Customer Support Services.
a. Reading of the various bar code symbologies can be independently
enabled or disabled in the scanner.

Quick Reference Guide 9
Error Codes
If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for
three seconds) and flash its LED, indicating a failure. When this
occurs, press the Scanner button to hear the error code. If it is
configured to do so, the scanner will sound a series of beeps cor-
responding to the error code and/or flash its LED simultaneous
to the beeps. The table below describes what these codes mean
and what action should be taken for each.

Programming
Upon completing the physical connection between the scanner
and its host, proceed directly to the Programming Bar Codes
table below to locate the interface type the scanner is connected
to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.).
Use the Bar Code Mask at the back of this manual to isolate the
bar code you intend to scan. Scan a START/END bar code once to
enter Programming Mode. After scanning the programming label
for the desired interface, scan the START/END barcode a second
time to accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return
the scanner to normal operation.
Select other options and customize your scanner with program-
ming barcodes available in the PRG, or use the On Screen Pro-
gramming (OSP) utility available on the Datalogic website.

Cleaning
Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges
or debris accumulation require periodic cleaning to assure best
performance during scanning. Use a clean, lint-free cloth or paper
towel dampened with a nonabrasive, mild, water-based cleaner
to wipe away stains, smudges, fingerprints, spills, etc. from the
scan window and exterior surfaces.
See the next page for a list of Manufacturer Approved Cleaning
Materials.
CAUTION
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive
pads to clean this product. Harsh chemicals, disinfec-
tants, and cleansers can cause damage which will
adversely affect scanning performance.
CAUTION
DO NOT spray
cleaners directly
on the scanner!
