2Offline Mode
If you are heading for a working area which lies outside the
Bluetooth signal range, you may activate the offline mode
of the scanner, following the steps described below. Under
this enhanced offline mode, all scanned data will be stored
directly into the buffer memory of the device. Furthermore,
the data entries will be permanently saved in the buffer
memory prior to the manual upload into the working
station, so that you may upload them time and again to
your liking.
Due to the fact that the data entries will be automatically
wiped from the buffer memory during upload, a data loss is
possible when malfunctions occur during upload, e.g. if the
working station suffers a unanticipated system shut down.
An operation in offline mode is strongly recommended
under the following scenarios:
1) During the scanning process, the device often leaves
the Bluetooth signal range;
2) Due to a high quantity of blocking objects, the Bluetooth
signal’s stability can’t be ensured.
1. By scanning the following barcode, the offline mode
will be activated.
4Prefix and Suffix Setting
1. Scan the “Enter Setup” barcode
2. Scan the “Prefix Setting” or “Suffix Setting” scanner
3. Scan certain barcodes sequentially to generate your
own prefix/suffix. Example: If you want to add “#” as
prefix or suffix, according to the barcode list provided on
our website, you need to scan the “3” barcode first and
then scan the “5” barcode.
(Please refer to www.inateck.com for the number and
symbol barcode list.)
4. Scan the “Exit with Save” barcode.

8FAQ
1. Some barcodes cannot be read, why?
a. Dirty or unclear barcodes might not be read.
b. Digital barcodes displayed on phones, computers
or tablets cannot be read.
c. The possible reason is that the setting for some
barcode types are not commonly used is off by
default. You need to activate a specific barcode
type to get it to work. Please feel free to contact
our Customer Service Team for further
assistance if you don't know the exact type of
barcode that you are referring to.
2. Is there any barcodes for apply or remove Enter for
suffix?
Yes, you can refer to the Common Function
Barcodes to reverse the setting.
3. The data cannot be sent to my computer or
cellphone. Why?
Please make sure if you have turned on the offline mode.
Because it will store your scans internally instead of
instantly transmitting them to the connected device. You
need to scan the "Manual data upload" barcode to send
the scanned codes to your connected device.
4. Is it compatible with MID, iPad and Android devices?
No.
5. How to solve the messy code problem encountered while
using other foreign languages?
The default language is English. Please refer to
