1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the MANHATTAN®2D Barcode Scanner, Model 177603.
This scanner delivers high-quality scanning for a wide range of data collection
functions to improve routine transactions, automate paper-based processes
and increase productivity. The laser scan engine oers speed, accuracy and
greater tolerances for reliable service reading popular 1D and 2D barcodes
including UPC/EAN, UCC/EAN128, Data Matrix, PDF 417, Maxicode and more.
Easy to implement and simple to use, a built-in keyboard wedge decoder
sends scanned data to an active application where it appears as if it were
manually typed or directly keyed into the computer. Its versatile USB interface
and bus power integrate with most PCs without the need of an external
power supply or complicated installation. With a scan rate of 200 scans per
second and an accurate read range of up to 430 mm (17 in.), the MANHATTAN
2D Barcode Scanner oers a practical daily scanning solution for point-of-
sale, postal, hospitality, travel, shipping, warehousing, oce and other
commercial and industrial applications to minimize manual data entry, speed
transactions and reduce errors.
1.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
•Beforecleaningthescanner,disconnectitfromthepowersource.Useonly
a damp cotton cloth for cleaning. Avoid liquid cleaners, as the scanner must
be kept dry to prevent short circuits.
•Donotdropthescanner.
•Donotyankthepowercord.
•Ifthescannerisnotinuseforanextendedtimeperiod,disconnectitfrom
the power source to prevent damage from power surges.
•Donotattempttodisassemblethescanner.Ifitisn’tworkingproperly—

INTRODUCTION

2 INSTALLATION
1. Iftheincludedcommunicationcableisn’talreadyattachedtothescanner,
connect it to the bottom of the handle so you hear it click in place.
2. Turn o the host system.
3. Connectthescanner’scommunicationcabletothehostsystem.
4. If using an optional power supply, use it now to connect the scanner to an
AC outlet.
5. Turn on the host system.
Switching the Communication Cable
Beforeremovingaconnectedcablefromthescanner,it’s
recommended that the host system power be turned o
and any power supply be disconnected from the scanner.
1. Insert a common pin or similar object into the pin hole
just above the cable connection (as highlighted at right).
2. Push the pin into the hole until you hear a click, then
gently remove the cable from the scanner handle.
3. Insert the replacement cable so you hear it click into
place.
3 CONFIGURATION
You can set up your device by scanning all necessary programming codes for
parameters that meet your current application requirements. After these
scans, the device will save settings directly. To go back to the factory default
settings, just scan the programming code Factory Default.
3.1 CHANGING SETTINGS WITH PROGRAMMING CODES
1. Turn on the scanner.
2. Change the scanner settings by scanning any of the programming codes
that meet the requirements of the current application. After reading a
valid programming code, the scanner will sound a high-pitched beep and
the green LED will light.
NOTE: At any time, you can stop your programming and scan the Factory
Default programming code to go back to the default setting(s).
3.2 FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
Throughtout this user manual, the factory default settings are printed in bold
and are set inside brackets. See Section 7.3 for a list of readable and default
enable symbologies.

OPERATING SETTINGS
4 OPERATING SETTINGS
4.1 SCANNING TRIGGERING
<Level>
A reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on) when the
beam is activated and stops when the beam is deactivated.
Continuous Scanning
When the scanner is turned on, a continuous reading session begins (lighting
and decode processing on).
Pulse
A reading session begins when the beam is activated and stays on until a
period of inactivity equal to the time specied by the timeout. After the
timeout, the scan engine turns o.
Continuous + Flashing
When the scan engine is turned on, a reading session begins (no need to
activate the beam). After a period of inactivity equal to the time specied by
the timeout, the scan engine starts ashing, checking for a barcode to be
read. When a barcode is detected, the light automatically turns on and stays
on until another period of inactivity (timeout). After the timeout, the scan
engine starts ashing again.

Level + Flashing
This mode allows you the switch between Level and Flashing modes. When
the scanner is turned on, it is in Flashing mode (see Flashing below). You can
automatically switch to Level mode by activating the beam line. After a period
of inactivity equal to the time specied by the timeout, the scan engine
switches back to Flashing mode.
Flashing
Flashing mode activates the lighting and decoding function (no need to
activate the trigger line). After a period of inactivity equal to the time specied
by the trigger timeout, the scanner starts ashing, checking for a barcode to
be read. When a barcode is detected, the lighting and decoding automatically
turn on and stay on until another period of inactivity (timeout), after which
the scanner starts ashing again.
Autostand
This mode allows you to switch from Flashing trigger mode to Level trigger
mode. Autostand begins in Flashing mode: At power-up, the lighting and
decoding are on (no need to activate the trigger line) and after a period of
inactivity equal to the time specied by the trigger timeout, the scanner
starts ashing. To switch to Level trigger mode, activate the trigger line
(press the trigger). When in Level trigger mode, after a period of inactivity
equal to the time specied by the trigger timeout, the scanner switches back
to Flashing mode.

OPERATING SETTINGS

Toggle
This mode allows lighting and decoding toggle when the trigger line is
activated. First trigger activation = lighting and decoding on; second trigger
activation = lighting and decoding o.
Presentation
This mode activates the lighting and decoding function. After a period of
inactivity equal to the time specied by the trigger timeout, the lighting
turns o or is dimmed. When a new barcode is presented, the lighting and
decoding restart and stay on until another period inactivity.

5.1 IMAGER MODE
The best reading performance of the scanner depends on the environment,
the application of the scanner and the type of barcodes.

1D and 2D barcodes.
Linear mode allows you to increase your decoding speed while scanning 1D
barcodes; however, you need to position the beam across all bars in the 1D
barcode.
