Programming the Scanner
To program the scanner, you must scan a series of
programming barcodes in the correct order. In the bac of
this manual, you will see a table of alphanumeric barcodes,
which are used to program the various options presented.
To program each option, you must:
1. Scan the Program barcode on the parameter setting part.
2. Enter the option mode by scanning the Option Bar Code.
3. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary
alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan these alphanumeric
entries from the back of the manual.
4. Scan the Finish barcode from the back of the manual.
5. Scan the Exit barcode, listed on the lower right hand
corner of each parameter setting part.

Interface Selection
The decoder in the scanner supports interfaces such as USB,
eyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge and wand emulation.
In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable
with a device code will wor for a specific interface.

Keyboard wedge
As a eyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the
popular PCs and IBM terminals. The installation of the wedge
is a fairly simple process without any changes of software or
hardware.
Keyboard Type: Select the eyboard type connector for your
host computer. The scanner must be selected to the
appropriate host interface cable converter.

Keyboard Layout: The selecting of eyboard layout
supports many country languages other than the USA
eyboard layout.
Keyboard Speed: By selecting, you can change the output
speed of the scanner to match the host computer. This is
generally set to 00 or 01 to wor in high speed mode. If
some output characters of barcode have been lost, you may
need to set 05 or 06 to match your host eyboard speed.
Function Key Emulation: If Enabled, the scanner can
simulate pressing a function- ey in your application while the
barcode data contains an ASCII value between 01
16
to 1F
16
.
Refer to the ASCII table, at the end of this manual.
Numeric Key: The Keypad has to be selected if your
application program only accepts eypad numeric entries. If
enabled, the scanner will output code as if pressing the
numeric eypad. (The eypad is in the right side of eyboard,
and Num Loc control ey is also on.) If Alt+Keypad is
selected, Caps Loc and output will be independent.

Caps Lock: By selecting Caps loc ”ON” or Caps loc ”OFF”,
the scanner can get Caps Loc status.
Power-on simulation: It is recommended to Enable this
function if you are wor ing without a eyboard installed. It
simulates a eyboard.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data
character is transmitted. If the transmission speed is too high,
the system may not be able to receive all characters.
Block transmission delay: A delay timer between barcode
data output.

Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals
without regard for any hardware or software handsha ing
protocol.
RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to
host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the
CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the
normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal
from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay)
duration, the scanner will issue 5 warning beeps.
Xon/Xoff- When the host computer is unable to accept data,
it sends a Xoff code to inform the scanner to suspend data
transmission, and Xon to continue.
ACK/NAK- When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the
scanner waits for an ACK (ac nowledge) or (not
ac nowledge) from the host computer after data transmission,
and will resend in response to a NAK.
Inter-character delay: It is delay time between data
character’s data output. It is also same as Inter-char. delay of
eyboard wedge.
Block transmission delay: It is a delay time between
barcode data output. It is also same as Bloc transmission
delay of eyboard wedge.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial
communication of the scanner to waiting for handsha ing
ac nowledgment from the host computer.

Scan
Scanning mode:
Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed to
activate scanning. The light source of the scanner stops
scanning when there is a successful read or no code is
decoded after the Stand-by duration elapses.
Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press the
button to activate scanning and release the button to stop
scanning.
Alternate-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press
the button to activate or stop continuous scanning.
Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed to activate
scanning, and scanner stops scanning when no code is
decoded after the Stand-by duration has elapsed.
Continuous-The scanner always eeps reading, and it does
not matter when the trigger button is pressed or the duration
has elapsed.
Stand-by duration:
Double read timeout: If the barcode has been scanned
twice, then only the first barcode will be accepted.
Double confirm: If enabled, the scanner will require
successful decoding several times to confirm the barcode
data. If you set Double confirm, the Multi field scan Enable
function will not be able to wor .

Scan
Multi field scan: The scanner can read many sets of
barcode data on the same scanning line at the same time,
even if they are different barcode symbologies.
Global min./max. code length: Global Minimum and
Maximum length can be set to qualify data entry. The length
is defined as the actual barcode data length to be sent.
Barcodes with lengths that exceed these limits will be
rejected. Ma e sure that the Minimum length setting is no
greater than the Maximum length setting, or the barcode will
not be readable. In particular, you can set the same value for
both Minimum and Maximum reading length to force
decoding of only a fixed length barcode.
Inverted image scan: If Enabled the scanner will scan both
blac /white barcodes with white/blac bac grounds.
CTS trigger: This operation enabled an external device to
control scanning. The CTS trigger is controlled by applying
an external trigger signal to the CTS input. When active, this
signal causes scanning to begin.
Power saving: Places the scanner in an idle state during idle
time to optimize power usage.
Position indication: This function can indicate the specific
location before scanning. You can also set up the time of
indication.
