Chapter 1 Introduction
The scanner uses the class leading chip with intelligent image reading technology, and it mainly uses
for image-based 2D scanner.
The scanner can read all kinds of 1D barcodes and standard 2D barcodes (various versions of PDF417,
QR code, and Data matrix) can easily scan paper, plastic cards, LCD and other barcode printed media.
Its fully integrated design makes it easy to embed in a wide range of product applications.
About Manual
This guide mainly provides various functional setup instructions for the scanner. By scanning the setup
barcodes in this guide, you can change the functional parameters of the scanner, such as
communication interface parameters, scanning mode, prompt mode, data processing and output, etc.
The scanner provides parameter configurations that are suitable for most used functions at the
factory. And in most cases users can put them into use without making adjustment.
Barcode Read
In manual read mode, the procedure for scanning barcodes is as follows:
(1) Make sure that the scanner, data cable, data receiving host, and power supply are properly
connected and turned on.
(2) Press the trigger to activate the light.

(3) Align the aiming line to the center of the barcode, move the scanner and adjust the distance
between it and the barcode to find the optimal scanning distance.
(4) When hear the prompt sound, the infrared light goes out and the barcode reading successfully,
then the scanner will decode the data to the host.
(5) All set barcodes are saved by power outage.
▲Note: For the same batch of barcodes, the scanner keeps a very high success ratio in certain
distance which is regarded as the optimal scanning distance.
Use the Setting Barcode
Set the parameter to a special barcode whose barcode type is barcode128. When it scans to a barcode
software that matches the setting type of setting, it will automatically enter the setting and does not
send the results on the host. All set barcodes are saved by power outage. (except to restore factory
settings)
▲Note: All bar codes with "*" in this manual indicate the default values of factory settings.
Restore Factory Defaults
▲Note: Please use the "Restore Factory Defaults" function carefully, and when you scan this setup
barcode, the current parameter settings will be lost and replaced with the factory default values.

Chapter 2 Communication Interface
The Handheld Barcode Scanner provides USB and RS-232 interface (optional) to connect to the host.
Through communication interfaces, it can receive and read the data, control the scanner by sending
the commands, and modify the parameter of scanner, etc.
Serial Interface
Serial interface is a common way to connect the scanner to the host (e.g. PC, POS devices). The
handheld scanner provides RS-232 electrical level interface, which can directly connect to PC’s serial
interface. When using serial interface, the scanner and the host should be completely match with
each other on communication parameter configuration, to ensure fluent communication and correct
content.
Interface Setting
The default serial interface parameter is as below shown, when it is inconsistent with the host, it can
be modified by Read Setting Barcode.

The unit of Baud Rate is bps is bits/s (bps: bits per second), the optional configuration parameter is
as below shown:

USB Interface
HID Virtual Keyboard
When using USB interface, the scanner can be simulated as a HID-KBW device. In this mode, the
scanner would be a virtual keyboard that output the data to the host.
