Chapter 1 Introduction
P220 uses the international leading chip intelligent image recognition technology, and it mainly
uses for image-based 2D scanner.
2D decoding chip combines the advanced image recognition algorithm with advanced chip
design and manufacturing technology that greatly simplifies the design difficulty of 2D barcode to
scan products, and establishes an excellent benchmark for high performance, high reliability and low
power consumption of 2D l image products.
P220 can recognition 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 P220. By scanning the setup
barcodes in this guide, you can change the functional parameters of P220, such as communication
interface parameters, scanning mode, prompt mode, data processing and output, etc. P220 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. In most cases, users can put it into use
without making adjustment.

1.3 Power on, Power off and Restart
Power on: plug and play interface, power on automatically when the scanner is connected to the host.
Power off: unplug the data cable.
Restart: if the P220 scanner freezes or does not respond, please restart the data cable.
1.4 Maintenance
The recognition window must be kept clean. Supplier is exempt from warranty liability for
damage caused by improper maintenance.
Avoid hard and rough objects to scratch the recognition window.
Remove the stains from widow with a brush.
Please use a soft cloth to clean the window, such as glasses cloth.
Do not spray any liquid on the window.
Do not use any cleaner other than cleaning water.

1.5 Communication Interface
P220 must be connected to a host. The host can be a PC, POS machine, or with a USB, RS-232
interface in any of the intelligent terminal.
USB
Connect the scanner to the host
via a USB cable.
RS-232
Connect the scanner to the host
via a serial cable.

1.6 Barcode Recognition
In manual recognition 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) Hold down the trigger to activate the LED light.
(3) Move the scanner and adjust the distance between it and the barcode to find the best
recognizing distance.
(4) When hear the prompt sound, the infrared light goes out and the barcode recognizing
successfully, then the scanner will decode the data to the host.
(5) All set barcodes are saved by power outage.
Note: In the recognizing process, for the same batch of barcodes, the distance between the
scanner and the barcode in a certain range which success rate of the recognition barcode will be
very high and that distance is the best recognizing distance.
1.7 Use the Setting Barcode
Set the parameter to a special barcode whose barcode type is barcode128. When scanning to a
barcode software that matches the setting type of setting, it will automatically enter the settings and
does not send the results on the host. All set barcodes are saved by power outage. (except to restore
factory settings)
1.8 Restore Factory Defaults
Note: Please use the "Restore Factory defaults" feature with caution, 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
P220 Stationary Barcode Scanner provides RS-232 serial interface and USB interface (optional)
to connect to the host. Through communication interfaces, it can receive and recognition the data,
control the scanner by sending the commands, modify the parameter of scanner, etc.
2.1 Serial Interface
Serial interface is a common way to connect the scanner to the host (e.g. PC, POS devices). P220
stationary scanner provides RS-232 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.
The default serial interface parameter is as below shown, when it is inconsistent with the host,
it can be modified by Recognition Setting Barcode.
