Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The HSC-100 hand-held barcode scanner (hereinafter referred to as “HSC-100 scanner” or “the
scanner”), armed with the world-leading patented , a computerized image recognition system-on-chip,
bring about a new era of 2D barcode scanner.
The HSC-100’s 2D barcode decoder chip ingeniously blends technology and advanced chip design &
manufacturing, which significantly simplifies application design and delivers superior performance and
solid reliability with low power consumption.
The HSC-100 supports all mainstream 1D and standard 2D barcode symbologies (e.g., PDF417, QR
Code M1/M2/Micro and Data Matrix) as well as GS1-DataBarTM(RSS) (Limited/Stacked/Expanded
versions). It can read barcodes on virtually any medium - paper, plastic card, mobile phones and LCD
displays.
About This Guide
This guide provides programming instructions for the HSC-100. Users can configure the HSC-100 by
scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The HSC-100 has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without
further configuration. Users may check the Factory Defaults Table in Appendix for reference.
Throughout the manual, asterisks (**) indicate factory default values.
Unpacking
Open the package and take out the scanner and its accessories. Check to make sure everything on the
packing list is present and intact. If any contents are damaged or missing, please keep the original
package and contact your dealer immediately for after-sales service.

Using USB Cable
Connect the scanner to a Host through a USB cable with RJ45 and USB connectors:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the data port on the scanner.
2. Plug the USB connector into the USB port on the Host.
Using RS-232 Cable
Connect the scanner to a Host through an RS-232 cable with RJ45, RS-232 and power connectors:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the data port on the scanner.
2. Plug the RS-232 connector into the RS-232 port on the Host.
3. Connect the supplied power adaptor to the power connector of the RS-232 cable.

** Exit Setup 6
Using PS/2 Cable
Connect the scanner to a Host through a PS/2 cable with RJ45 and PS/2 connectors and a power jack:
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the data slot on the scanner.
2. Plug the PS/2 connector into the PS/2 port on the Host.
3. When required, plug the power adapter into the power jack on the PS/2 cable.
4. When required, connect the PS/2 cable to a keyboard via its PS/2 port.
Removing Communication Cable
Get an appropriate needle or a straightened paper clip and then follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the power adaptor from mains if there is one.
2. Insert the needle into the hole.
3. Pull out the cable slowly from the scanner while pressing the needle in.
4. Remove the needle.
5. Disconnect the cable from the Host.
