Introduction
This scanner will automatically scan a barcode at a distance of 3 to 8
inches from the symbol when the trigger is pulled. The scanner is
programmed by scanning barcodes from the manual when viewed on
the screen at 200% or more magnification from the PD . Successful
scanning shall be obtained by tilting the scanner with respect to the
barcode to avoid direct reflections that impair reading performance.
Installation and Setup
1.Connect the USB cable between scanner and PC.
2.To enable USB keyboard emulation, scan the appropriate barcode
below:
USB HID (PC)
USB HID (MAC)
3.If the scanner does not operate properly, remove the scanner from the
USB port and plug it into another port after scanning one of the USB
HID barcodes above.
4.If the scanner still does not operate properly, remove the cable from
the PC and pull the cable out of the scanner. Reinsert the cable in the
scanner.

Compliance Notice
These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection
against harmful interface when the equipment is operated under
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interface to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interface, in
which case the user will be required to correct the interface at
his or her own expenses.
Limitation of Liability Notice
This limitation of hardware liability is necessary because
IDAutomation is a reseller of hardware and does not directly
manufacture any hardware devices. The entire limitation of
liability (including attorney’s fees, if any) under this policy
and/or the limited hardware warranty, if any, is 3 times the
original purchase price of the product (excluding any tax,
shipping and additional charges) at the time of purchase from

Verifying Barcodes with PQA
A unique feature of this scanner is the 2D QA ( rint Quality
Assessment) feature, which verifies and grades several attributes of a
barcode symbol. When enabled, QA works on all 2D symbols
including Data Matrix, DF417, MaxiCode, Aztec, QR-Code and US S
ostnet and Intelligent Mail. The QA report is transmitted as a second
beep after the barcode data. Enable this feature by scanning the
barcode below.
NOTE: When verifying symbols with PQA, be sure to carefully position
the scanner irectly over the barco e at an appropriate istance, such
as 5 or 6 inches. Different angles an istances may falsely lower the
gra e with respect to height, wi th an gaps.

Reading Characteristics
The engine has a view finder that projects a bright red or
green aiming beam that corresponds to the engine’s
horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered
over the barcode, but it can be positioned in any direction for
a good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the
code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with
smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the
unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be
read farther from the unit. To read symbols, hold the engine at an
appropriate distance from the target, send a trigger command, and
center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is
highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Programming
Scan a series of programming barcodes in the correct order. old
out, print or view on the screen, the back page 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 barcodes.
2.Enter the option mode by scanning the option barcodes.
3.The necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan these
alphanumeric entries from the Program Chart. To confirm the
above steps, you must scan the Save barcode.

Interface Selection
This decoder built-in scanner comes in one model and
supports interfaces such as RS232 serial, USB virtual COM
and USB HID. In most of the cases, simply selecting an
appropriate cable and configure the proper interface by following
interface selection.
Interface selection: You can change factory interface default
(USB Virtual COM ) for other type interface. By plugging
different cables, setting right interface, then scan the interface
barcode, power cycle the scanner will be changed to another
interface. However, you must make sure which cable you need.

ata Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character.
If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7
decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. or
applications which require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data
bits per character. Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for
validity. Default = None.

RS-232
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 halts transmission until it detects another
active CTS signal.
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 (acknowledge) or (not acknowledge) from the
host computer after data transmission, and will resend in response
to a NAK.
Response elay
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232
Receiver Time-Out expires. A trigger command resets the
time-out. When an RS-232 receiver is sleeping, a character
may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out.
A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver.
The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up.
Change the RS-232 receiver time-out by scanning the barcode
15

below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover
of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300
seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).
