Communication Ports
2DScan must connect to a Host to operate. A Host can be PC, POS, or any intelligent terminal with at least
one of the following communication ports: USB, RS232, or PS/2.
USB1、
RS2322、
RS232 port on Host：
PS/23、
PS/2 port on Host：
USB port on Host：
2DScan has USB and PS/2 interfaces and 2DScan has USB and RS232 interfaces.Please check the ports
first to order the fitting type of 2DScan and cables.

Connecting with USB Cable
Insert USB Cable (RJ45 male head) into 2DScan cable slot;1、
Insert USB Cable (USB male head) into Host's (female) USB connector; 2、
NOTE: 2DScan is a DataPipe device. You need to install the driver on the Host
to communicate with 2DScan. See USB Interface

Connecting with PS/2 Cable
Insert PS/2 cable (RJ 45 male DIN) into 2DScan cable slot;1、
Insert PS/2 cable (PS/2 male DIN) into Host PS/2 female slot; 2、
If necessary, connect PS/2 cable and the mains with power adapter; 3、
If necessary, keyboard can connect to female slot on the PS/2 cable; 4、

Removal of Communication Cable
A Pin that fit the 2DScan “dismount hole”is needed. A paper clip could be ideal. Stretch one end of the
paper clip to fit the “Dismount Hole”. Follow the steps:
For RS232 and PS/2 connections, unplug the power adaptor.1、
Insert the Pin into “Dismount Hole”and keep some pressure.2、
Pull out the cable gently.3、
Pull out the Pin after the cable is removed.4、
Unplug the connector from the Host.5、

Getting to Start
ON, OFF, IDLE, RESTART
Connect 2DScan and Host, 2DScan will power on automatically and in "Idle" (ready to use) state (factory
default).
Power On
Power Off
There are 4 ways to "Power OFF":
Remove Cable Off 2DScan;»
Remove Power Adapter Off RS232 Cable; »
Remove USB Cable from the Host;»
Remove PS/2 cable from the Host. If a power adapter is connected, remove it too.»
IDLE Mode
When reader is NOT reading, it is in "IDLE mode".
With no reading attempt within a timeout, the Imager will switch to IDLE mode automatically.
RESTART
If 2DScan halted and does not respond to operations, please "Restart" by "Power OFF", and then "Power
ON".
Maintenance
The scan window must be kept clean. Improper maintenance will breach the limited warranty.»
Avoid rough objects not to damage or scratch the window.»
Use brush to remove the stain.»
Use soft cloth (cloth for glasses) to clean.»
Prohibit spraying towards the window.»
Only use clean water as a cleanser.»

Reading
Getting to Start
1、Ensure 2DScan, cables, and the Host are connected, then turn the unit Power ON
2、Press & hold Trigger.
Illumination LED and Aiming LED cast an Illumination Pattern (red light) and an Aiming Pattern
(blue light);
3、KeepAiming Pattern in the center of a bar code. Zoom in and zoom out to allocate the Optimum
Reading Stance.
4、On a successful reading, there’ll be a beep sound, illumination & aiming patterns die out. The 2DScan
then transmits barcode message to the Host.
NOTE: Experiences tell a certain range of distances has higher successful reading rate. This range is
the Optimum Reading Stance.
