BeforeYou Install
This manual describes functions and
usage of the Series CCD scanner,
including both keyboard wedge and
RS232 interface options.
The CCD scanner designed to
accommodate many application
environments and user requirements.
It may be programmed by scanning
special bar code labels included in
this manual, and may be
reconfigured at any time to meet
future needs and changing applica-
tion requirements. A built-in
memory backup circuit enables the
CCD to retain programmed data
during any power outage.
Step 2: Review packing list
Please ensure that your scanner
shipment is complete.
The keyboard wedge interface CCD
Scanner includes:
•1 pce CCD scanner with keyboard
wedge cable
• 1 pce Operation Manual
By shutting off your computer, you
will prevent any accidental damage
to the CCD scanner and computer.
Step 1: Turn off your computer

4
The RS232 interface CCD Scanner
includes:
•1 pce CCD scanner with RS232
cable
•1 pce Operation Manual
Before You Install
Step 3: Determine installation mode
If you purchased with a keyboard
wedge interface, turn to Chapter 2
for installation instructions. If you
purchased CCD with an RS232
interface, turn to Chapter 3.

This chapter describes the procedure
for installing the CCD scanner using
a keyboard wedge interface.
Step 2: Connect to your computer
Connect the keyboard to the female
end of the T-connector of the cable
provided. Plug the male end of the
T-connector into the keyboard port
of your computer.
Review the installation diagram on
the following page.
Step 1: Turn off your computer
If you have not already done so, turn
off your computer to avoid any
accidental damage to the scanner and
your computer.

Installing Keyboard Wedge Interface CCD Scanner
Step 3: Turn on your computer
Start up your computer. It should
boot up normally. If a keyboard
error appears, there may be an
incompatibility between the com-
puter and the scanner keyboard type.
The scanner will activate with a
“beep” indicating a successful
installation.
You may now test your scanner by
scanning any bar code. The bar code
number will appear on the screen of
your computer.
Step 4: Turn to Chapter 4
You are now ready to program the
keyboard wedge interface CCD
scanner to meet the specific require-
ments of your application
environment.

This chapter describes the procedure
for installing the CCD scanner using
an RS232 interface.
Step 1: Turn off your computer
If you have not already done so, turn
off your computer to avoid any
accidental damage to the scanner and
computer.
Step 2: Decide on power access
There are 2 models of RS232 CCD
scanner. The first one without DC-
JACK on the cable is named
XXXXR9D of its model. Its connec-
tion requires +5V DC to be input
from the computer directly. Another
one with DC-JACK on the cable is
named XXXXR9R of its model. This
connection requires +8V~+14V DC
to be input from the external adaptor
to the DC JACK or the PIN-9 of
RS232 port of your computer(see
Appendix I page 45). If you are
using the power provided through
your terminal, please see Step 3, If
you are using an external connection,
go to Step 4.
Step 3: Connect to your terminal
Connect the 9-pin femal connector
(DB9F without DC jack) to the male
equivalent (DB9M) port in your
terminal.

Installing RS232 Interface CCD Scanner
Step 4: Connect to your computer
Step 5: Turn on your computer
Your computer should boot up
normally. The scanner should
activate with a beep indicating a
successful installation.
Connect the 9-pin female connector
(DB9F with DC jack) to the male
equivalent (DB9M) port on your
computer . Provide power to the DC
jack on the DB9F connector by
using an external adapter (see
Specifications in Appendix I).
Review the installation diagram on
the following page.

Installing RS232 Interface CCD Scanner
Step 6: Test your RS232 Interface CCD Scanner
Your scanner may now be tested
using software designed to read bar
code data from the RS232 port. The
following sample program written in
BASIC is sufficient for this purpose:
10 open COM1:“9600,N,8,1,cd,ds,cs” as #1
20 input #1, A$
30 print A$
40 go to 20
With this program running, the
number of any bar code you scan
will appear on your screen. Press
[CTRL + C] to exit from this
software program.
Step 7: Turn to Chapter 4
You are now ready to program the
RS232 Interface CCD scanner to
meet the specific requirements of
your application environment.

Quick Install Programming
This chapter describes a fast proce-
dure for programming the Series
CCD scanner. The Quick Install
option has been pre-set for a com-
mon combination of features.
Step 1: Decide on your requirements
Review the following list of pre-set
default values for the CCD scanner

Quick Install Programming
Step 2: Program your scanner
If all or most of your system require-
ments match the default settings
listed above, scan the three bar codes
on the following page in order.
The reading of this code installs the
default values for ALL parameters.
NOTE:
Program
(enter into programming mode)
If your requirements exactly match
all of the default settings, you have
finished the programming phase and
may now enjoy the use of your bar
code scanning equipment.
End
(save settings and end programming mode)
Reset
(program all features to default values)

Quick Install Programming
Step 3: Custom programming
If your system requirements do not
exactly match the default values, turn
to Chapter 5 and follow the proce-
dure for custom programming the
special features which you require.
Likewise, if only a few parameters
need to be changed for a new
application, there is no need to totally
reconfigure all of the parameters.
Program only the special features you
require; those which are left alone
will keep their original value.

The Trigger Switch Mode
provides four different
trigger setting available.
NORMAL MODE:
The scanner will turn off
after a successful reading,
you must press the trigger
switch again for next
reading.
AUTO SCAN MODE:
This is for hand free
operation, If you program
this mode, the scanner
light up always, but this
mode does not allow the
same bar code to be read
twice.
REPEAT MODE:
This mode is similar to the
Auto Scan Mode, but
allows to double reading
the same bar code.
ALTERNATE MODE:
When scanner is pro-
grammed in this mode, the
scanner willl light up when
pressing the scanner
trigger switch once, and
turn off for next pressing.

Inter-Message delay
General Parameters
Program End
Inter-message delay refers to the time
elapsed between when data is read
and when it is sent to the host
computer. Adjusting the inter-
message and inter-character delay
may improve data transmission when
operating in conjunction with a fast
computer or incompatible DOS
version.
* None * 100 msec
500 msec 1 sec
Inter-Character delay
The inter-character delay may be
programmed to match various
computer response times.
