Installation
Connect the hand-held scanner
Switching off the computer
Information on switching off and shut down the connected computer - what ever before to connect peripheral
devices such as a scanner is - please refer to the instruction manual of your computer.
Connect the cable from HS 6508
The following illustrations show the steps required to install the cable on the scanner are shown, which are
described below.
To connect the interface cable to the scanner, proceed as follows:
Loosen the strain relief on the scanner by removing the 2 Phillips screws.
Fold the 2 halves of the cable clamp to the side. Plug the RJ 41 connector into the
socket on the underside of the hand scanner, until the cable snapped.
Fold the 2 halves of the strain relief back.
Attach the strain relief on the scanner, by tightening the 2 Phillips screws.
Further steps:
Connect the interface cable to the appropriate socket on the computer.
You may need a power supply to the power supply, or you can use a cable in which
the tension of the computer system is used. Use the pin assignments (see page 7),
you can select the appropriate cable for your application
Connect the AC adapter to the AC outlet (not required for power supply from the
computer).
Check the operational readiness of the scanner by pointing the scanning surface
against a flat surface and pulling the trigger. A green target line and the red light should now be visible. Now
scan a sample label. The scanner confirmed by an acoustic signal, which is decoded, where appropriate, the
data are transmitted to the computer.

Quick Start Guide HS 6508 Page 6
How to scan?
Here are some notes on how to get the best scan performance (see Fig.)
The scanner must be kept at a slight angle to the bar code. (Hold the scanner perpendicular to the barcode.)
Cross the red line should be addressed as an aiming aid centered on the code. So that the camera is aligned
with the center of the code. (The scanner cannot recognize the label correctly if it is not completely covered by
the camera and recorded).
Cross the red line is smaller and narrower when the scanner is closer to the code. Smaller codes should be
read with a smaller reading distance, with larger codes, the distance chosen such that the camera can be fully
grasp it.
Testing the Scanner
The adjacent bar code (code 39) is for testing the scanner,
The module size is 0.5 mm (20 mil)

Reset the HS 6508 to factory settings
To reset all parameters to the factory setting you have to scan the code below..
Attention all settings will lose!
Parameterization
Basically, the hand-held scanner is configured via barcodes. This, first select the bar code is in the manual,
and then press the trigger button to read the code. The configuration is then immediately active.
A second option is to configure the hand scanner with USB and RS232 interface using the PC program ESP.
This program lets you download and install from our website www.leuze.de. With the program settings can be
made and transmitted to the hand-held scanner. The configuration can also be stored, so that later it can be
reused.
For more information see also in the User’s Guide to HS 6508.
In the following are some of the most important configurations.
