1. Introduction
Your VALUESCAN III is a 1D CCD scanner that has been
configured at the factory with default settings.
Because many host systems have unique formats and
protocol requirements, ID TECH provides a wide range of
configurable features that may be selected using this
bar-code-based configuration tool. After the
configuration is completed, the scanner stores the
settings in nonvolatile memory. The embedded memory
saves the settings when the power is turned off.
Turn off the computer’s power before connecting the
scanner, and then power up the computer after the
scanner is fully connected.
To change a parameter value, scan the appropriate bar
codes in this guide. These new values replace the default
values in memory.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow uses to scan bar
codes directly from the screen. When scanning from a
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a
level where you can see the bar code clearly and bars
and/or spaces are not merging.

3. Get started
This chapter provides information about installing,
connecting, and using your scanner.
3.1. Installation
Install your scanner with the steps below.
3.1.1. Set Up Your Scanner
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the scanner’s RJ45 port,
until it clicks.
2. Insert the USB connector to your computer.
3. Turn on your computer. It will autodetect your
scanner.
4. To test your scanner, start a text editing program like
Notepad or Microsoft Word. Scan a bar code to see if
the scanner can send data to your computer. If it’s
successful, you’ll hear a beep and see the bar code
data in the text editing program.

10
3.2. How to scan
VALUESCAN III emits a light bar when it is scanning. To
scan a barcode, make sure the aiming beam crosses every
bar and space of the barcode. This bar needs to cross the
bar code horizontally to decode it.

11
4. Controls and settings
Customize your scanner to work efficiently.
VALUESCAN III offers many features to match your
preferences. The following section provides
information about changing your scanner’s
controls and settings.
4.1. Version information setting code

4.2. Interface Mode Setting Codes
VALUESCAN III supports USB HID and virtual COM. By
default, your scanner can detect the interface
automatically. When it detects USB, it selects HID as the
interface.
USB-HID (Default)
000602
USB Virtual Com
000603
Note: If you use the scanner to communicate with your
computer via a serial interface (e.g., COM1 ... COM8), but
your computer does not have a serial port, the scanner
requires a virtual COM port driver. Use this driver to
assign a virtual COM port connection number to devices
connected via a USB port and to enable bidirectional
communication between your computer and the
VAUESCAN III.
To get the USB virtual COM port driver, go to the ID TECH
global website (https://idtechproducts.com/).
Download and install the driver. After installing the
driver, restart your computer. The system will then
automatically detect your scanner.
