STEP 1 – CONNECT THE SYSTEM
25-Pin Models
To connect the system in a Stand Alone configuration, you need the hardware indicated in Figure 1. In this layout the data is
transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. Data can also be transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently
from the main interface selection. When One Shot or Phase Mode Operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External
Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

USB Models
NOTE
Before connecting the reader to the USB Port, Install the USB Virtual COM Port Driver from the Support
Files\USB Virtual COM Port Drivers directory on the VisiSet Mini-DVD.
The USB Virtual COM Port Driver allows sending serial data using the Matrix 210™ USB port. A different virtual COM Port will be
assigned to each connected reader.
Installing the USB Virtual COM port drivers:
1. Double-click on the following file to launch the USB Virtual COM Port Driver Installer.
Windows XP/Vista/7 (x32) = "DPInst.exe" Windows Vista/7 (x64) = "DPInst64.exe"
For other operating systems see the readme txt in the Support Files\USB Virtual COM Port Drivers directory. For updated drivers
or more details go to ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
Configuring the USB Virtual COM port:
Connect the Matrix 210™ USB reader to your PC; a new virtual COM port is associated with the reader. Follow these steps to
configure the associated COM Port:
2. Right-click on "My Computer" in the Windows "Start" menu and select "Properties".
3. Select the "Hardware" tab in the System Properties dialog and click the "Device Manager" button.
4. Expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" item on the "Device Manager" menu. Right-click on "USB Serial Port" and select
"Properties".
5. Select the "Port Settings" tab in the "Properties" dialog and click the "Advanced" button.

6. From the "Advanced Settings for COMx" dialog:
•Expand the "COM Port Number" menu and select a new COM Port number if desired (optional).
•Set the "BM Options" -> "Latency Timer" (msec) parameter to 1.
You are now ready to use the new COM Port.

Matrix 210™ USB models can be connected in a Point-to-Point layout to a local host through their USB cable. No external power
supply is necessary.
The default baud rate is 115200. To maximize data transfer you can set it up to 921600 by configuring the reader though the
Communication parameters via VisiSet™. For further details, see the Communication Folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line.

STEP 2 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE READER
1. To mount the Matrix 210™, use the mounting bracket to obtain the most suitable position for the reader. Two of the most
common mounting configurations are shown in the figures below. Other mounting solutions are provided in the Matrix 210™
Reference Manual.

2. When mounting the Matrix 210™ take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt
0°, although the reader can read a code at any tilt angle.

3. Refer to the Reading Features table in the Appendix of this Quick Reference Guide to determine the distance your reader
should be positioned at.
NOTE
Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 210™ reader can be made either through the X-PRESS™ interface (steps
3-4) which requires no PC connection, or by using the VisiSet™ Setup Wizard (steps 5-6). Select the
procedure according to your needs.

STEP 3 – AIM THE READER
Matrix 210™ provides a built-in aiming system to aid reader positioning. The aiming system is accessed through the X-PRESS™
Interface.
1. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second. On the connector
side of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED (blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.
2. Enter the Aim/Locate function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button until the Aim LED is on.
3. Release the button to enter the Aim function. The aiming system turns on see Figure 7.
4. Place the application specific code in front of the reader at the reading distance indicated for your model in the Reading
Features table, centering it in the aiming system indicator.

STEP 4 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION
Once Matrix 210™ is positioned with respect to the code (step 3), you can configure it for optimal code reading relative to your
application. This configuration can be performed either through the X-PRESS™ Interface or the VisiSet™ configuration program.
SETUP
1. Enter the Setup function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push
button until the Setup LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Setup function. The Setup LED will
blink until the procedure is completed.
The Setup procedure ends when the Image Acquisition parameters are
successfully saved in the reader memory, the Setup LED will remain on
continuously and Matrix 210™ emits 3 high pitched beeps.
If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 5 (five)
seconds Matrix 210™ will exit without saving the parameters to memory,
the Setup LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking.
In this case Matrix 210™ emits a long low pitched beep.
3. Exit the Setup function by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once.

4. Enter the Learn function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push
button until the Learn LED is on.
5. Release the button to enter the Learn function. The Learn LED will
blink until the procedure is completed.
The Learn procedure ends when the Image Processing and Decoding
parameters are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Learn LED
will remain on continuously, the Green Spot is activated and Matrix
210™ emits 3 high pitched beeps1.
If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three)
minutes Matrix 210™ will exit without saving the parameters to memory,
the Learn LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking.
In this case Matrix 210™ emits a long low pitched beep.
6. Exit the Setup function by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once.

If you have used this procedure to configure Matrix 210™ go to step 7.
RESET READER TO FACTORY DEFAULT (OPTIONAL)
If it ever becomes necessary to reset the reader to the factory default values, you can perform this procedure by holding the X-
PRESS™ push button pressed while powering up the reader. You must keep the X-PRESS™ push button pressed until the
power up sequence is completed (several seconds) and all LEDs blink simultaneously 3 times.
All LEDs remain on for about 1 second, then off for one second, the Configuration and Environmental parameters are reset, and
the status LED remains on. If connected through a CBX500 with display module, the message "Default Set" is shown on the
display.
1The Learn procedure will not recognize Pharmacode symbologies.

STEP 5 – INSTALLING VISISET™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
VisiSet™is a Datalogic reader configuration tool providing several important advantages:
•Setup Wizard for rapid configuration and new users;
•Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;
•Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the reader as a remote object to be
configured and monitored.
To install VisiSet™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP, Vista or 7, then
insert the VisiSet™ Mini-DVD, wait for the DVD to autorun and follow the installation procedure.
This configuration procedure assumes a laptop computer, running VisiSet™, is connected to the reader's auxiliary port.
After installing and running the VisiSet™ software
program the following window appears:
Set the communication parameters from the "Options" menu. Then
select "Connect", the following window appears:

Place the application specific code in front of the reader at the correct reading distance (see step 2 and the Reading
Features table in the Appendix of this Quick Reference Guide).
2. Press the "Positioning" button. The reader continuously acquires images and gives visual feedback in the view image
window. Move the reader (or code) to center it.
Press the Positioning button again to stop positioning.
