Exit with Save

Steps of Setup:

Enter the Setting Mode

For the scanner to enter the setting mode, you must have it read the "Enter Setup"

barcode, which will be located at the bottom of almost every page of this manual.

The CT10 Barcode Scanner will respond with three beeps (tone descending from high to

low), and its LED indicator becomes purple and go off quickly after reading the barcode.

For setting scanner parameters, see "Read a Setup Barcode" below.

Exit the Setting Mode with Save

For the scanner to exit the setting mode, you must have it read the "Exit with Save"

barcode, which will be located at the bottom of almost every page of this manual.

Enter Setup

Details (eg: Enable/Disable a Barcode)

Exit Setup

Enter Setup

Exit with Save

Exit the Setting Mode without Save

If you want to exit the setting mode without saving any changes, you must have the

scanner read the "Exit without Save" barcode.

Just like reading the "Enter Setup" barcode, the scanner will respond with three beeps

(tone ascending from low to high) after reading the barcode.

Restore Factory Defaults

"Restore Factory Defaults" is a special barcode. The CT10 Barcode Scanner will respond

with a short beep (high tone) after reading this barcode. At this time, the scanner system

could restore factory defaults, and no need to read "Exit with Save" barcode again. The

Scanner defaults enable HID, PIN defaults 10010.

Note: Most of setting mode have restore factory defaults selection. The factory default

value for each setting is indicated by an asterisk "*".

You could use this barcode at the following status:

1、The scanner can not work. For example, it can not read barcodes.

2、You forget the settings you did to the scanner before, and you don't want to be affected

by the settings when you use the scanner.

3、After using a function which is not be used usually in the scanner.

Check Software Version

If you want to know the software version of CT10, should read the ‘Enter Setup’ and

‘Output Software Version’ barcode:

1.1Battery

The scanner is powered by 1500mAh chargeable Lithium batteries. The batteries can

support the scanner work continuous for 60 hours, or read 56000 barcodes (read an

EAN-13 barcode per 5s).

1.1.1Mountingthebattery(charging)

1) Hold the scanner face down in one hand.

2）Insert USB cable for charging.

1.1.2HowtooperateCT10BarcodeScanner

Turn on the scanner

Press the Power key for about 2 seconds. The scanner will respond with a long beep (high

tone), and its LED indicator is flashing.

Turn off the scanner

Press the Power key for about 3 seconds. The scanner will respond with two short beeps

(high tone) and the LED indicator is turn off.

1.1.3AutoPowerOff

In order to conserve battery power, the user can specify the time interval for the scanner

to automatically turn off. By default, it is set to 10 minutes.

For example: Set 20 minutes for the scanner to automatically turn off.

1. Read the "Enter Setup" barcode;

2. Read the "Enter Auto Power Off" barcode;

3. Read the "20min" barcode;

4. Read the "Exit with Save" barcode.

Note: If you want to keep the scanner power on all the time, read "Exit Auto Power Off" in

stead of step 3 and 4.

1.2TransmitBuffer

During the Bluetooth connection, the CT10 Scanner uses a 16KB memory as a data buffer,

and sends the collected data to the host computer one by one via the Bluetooth. Upon

reading a barcode successfully, the scanner responds with one short beep and its LED

indicator becomes green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not

receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 16KB transmit buffer, the

scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer

is full. When the buffer is full, the scanner will respond with a long beep (low tone), this

reminds the user that the space of buffer is not enough and can not read barcode any

more. @ Once the Buffer is full, the user should return to the range of BT connection

quickly, the data in the buffer can be sent back to the host computer and release the space

of buffer.

Note: The 16KB transmit buffer on the scanner can hold as many as 1300 barcodes

bases on Code128. You can choose to clear the data in the buffer every time

when you turn on the scanner.

Note: You can clear the data in the buffer via enable barcode, you can also clear the data

in the buffer via press the Power key long time.

After the Bluetooth connect successfully, the barcodes in the buffer will upload to

appointed position automatically. You also can setup upload the barcodes in the buffer or

not via read the following barcodes. By default, it is enabled.

If you don’t want to upload the barcodes automatically, you can setup as disabled, when

the Bluetooth connect, the barcodes won’t upload. You can double click Power key to start

upload the barcodes.

1.2.1InventoryMode

If you want to keep the barcodes in the buffer of CT10 for multiple uploading, you can

choose inventory mode. In inventory mode, CT10 will count the number of the barcodes

automatically, and control the time, position etc. for uploading. Also, you can clear the

barcodes in the buffer after uploading. Following is the setup method:

1) Read ‘Enter Inventory Mode’ barcode to enter into the inventory mode

Enter Inventory Mode

2) If you want to recover to normal mode, read the ‘Enter Normal Mode’ barcode

Enter Normal Mode

3) Read the ‘Clear the barcodes in the buffer’ barcode to clear the barcodes (only

suitable for inventory mode)

Clear the barcodes in the buffer

4) Read ‘Data Uploading’ barcode to upload the barcodes in the buffer (only suitable for

inventory mode)

Data Uploading

5) Read ‘Upload Counting’ barcode to count the number of the barcodes (only suitable

for inventory mode)

Upload Counting

Note: Inventory function can be used under any scan mode mentioned in 1.5.
