3 Installation and adjustment
3-1 Before installation
Before installation, please pay attention to the following items and check the installation
conditions:
1. No influence of ambient light;
Please avoid sunlight, other lighting, photoelectric sensors and other ambient light
entering the FV6X light receiving window, otherwise it may cause reading instability or
reading error.
2. Check whether the light source of the barcode reader is blocked;
If the light source is blocked, the barcode may not be detected. If there are other devices
emitting strong light (direct light and reflected light) on site, please set up a shading plate
to avoid that such strong light may damage the code reader or cause code reading failure.
3-2 Installation diagram
Use the mounting bracket to obtain the most appropriate reading position. The figure
shows the most common installation configuration. The installation position of L-type
metal fixing plate can be adjusted according to the actual needs.

3-3 Angle adjustment
As shown in the figure, adjusting the angle of the device to an appropriate angle position,
and fixing the L-shape firmly with screws.

After the device is directly connected to the computer serial port, check "Device
Manager”→"Port", confirm the port number and click "Connect" .When successfully
connecting to the software, then the "Connect to device" window will pop up, selecting
"Serial Port Settings", then click "Port Number" and select the corresponding COM
number below. If the COM number is not displayed, you can click the "Refresh" button to
search; the baud rate, data bit, stop bit, etc. are consistent with the device; as shown in

5 How to quickly setup FV6X without
infostepper
FV63 provides quick setting function. Place the barcode sample you need to read within
the field of view. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds to perform auto-focus first. After
auto-focus is successful, it enters the automatic parameter adjustment process .The
success or failure of auto-focus and automatic parameter adjustment are indicated by
buzzer and indicator light. The success of “automatic parameter adjustment” is closely
related to the quality of the sample barcode label read. When the quality of barcode
assigned is good, the success rate of “automatic parameter adjustment” is high and the
process is faster.
Note: In the image window of the setting software “infostepper”, auto-focus and
auto-adjustment can also be achieved, see Chapter 6.
