Chapter 1: Getting Started
Introduction
The Manhattan 1D Mini Barcode Scanner offers a new, compact design that is useful for stocktaking,
warehouse and logistics applications. Linear imaging CCD allows the scanning module to deliver
excellent decoding performance in its reading of most 1D barcodes.
Small in volume and lightweight in construction, the scanner can be easily carried in a pocket or bag for
enhanced mobility. Bluetooth technology lets it easily connect to most Android and iOS mobile devices.
Scanned data can be transferred to a host device in real time or stored in the device's built-in memory for
uploading later.
Features
•Image Scanning: quick and easy decoding of 1D, printing, paper and screen codes with added
ability to read poorly printed or smudged codes
•Wireless Bluetooth communication: supports mainstream Android and iOS systems, PCs, tablets,
laptops and computers
•Automatic reconnection when offline
•Low physical volume for easy carrying or wearing
•Stable and safe data storage, supporting HID and SPP modes
Applications
•Retail
•Manufacturing
•Electronic Coupons
•Mobile Payments
•Logistics
Barcode Overview and Scanning Procedure
Standard Barcode and Legend
Manual Introduction
Manual scanning mode:
1. Press and hold the trigger button; the red light activates.
2. Position the center of the codes under the light, and move the scanner between the codes to find
the best scanning distance.
3. Decoding (reading) is complete when the buzzer sounds and the lights turn off. Codes are
transmitted to the host.
Note: Increase scanning success by finding and maintaining the right reading distance from the same
types of barcodes.

Chapter 3: Wireless Settings
Bluetooth Barcode Scanner Pairing
The Manhattan Wireless 1D Mini Barcode Scanner can be connected to PCs, mobile phones and other
devices according to the user's needs. Scan the programming barcodes to configure the scanner.
EZ Pair
One-key pairing
Pairing the Barcode Scanner
1. Pull the trigger on the scanner for at least eight seconds to turn it on and enter Pairing Mode.
Scan the above code for easy pairing. The blue indicator LED flashes.
♣If your computer or device does not support Bluetooth technology, insert the Bluetooth
USB dongle into an available port on that device.
2. Open the Bluetooth app on your computer or device; begin the process to Add a Device by
searching for devices.
3. Find "General Bluetooth HID Barcode Scanner" from the available devices list. Double- or
single-click the link to install the driver.
4. A short beep will sound to confirm the device is paired.
5. The blue LED will remain lit to confirm that pairing is complete.
Bluetooth Modes
The Manhattan Wireless 1D Mini Barcode Scanner allows users to choose from two different modes. HID
mode outputs text directly into receptive fields on a computer or mobile device. SPP mode outputs data
through serial port simulation mode (requires serial software tools to receive data).

Chapter 5: Customized Data Inclusion
Introduction
For some applications, users may wish to include additional information/functionality such as barcode
type, data acquisition time or a delimiter to the barcode data. The functions here can attach customized
prefix and suffix information to the barcode's scanned data or move the cursor to a new field or line
without changing the barcode data itself.
Note: Customized data — <Prefix><Data><Suffix><Terminating Characters>

Code ID Setting
This function enables the Code ID of a scanned barcode to be added as a prefix or suffix to the scanned
data. Refer to Appendix A to identify the reported Code ID. No Code ID is the default setting.

Convert Case
Converts the case of the letters in the barcode to upper or lower case. For example, when the "Convert
All to Lower Case" feature is enabled, barcode data "ABC123" is transmitted as "abc123".
02510 02511
No Case Conversion * Convert All to Upper Case
02512 02513
Convert All to Lower Case Invert Upper and Lower Case Characters
Setting a Custom Prefix and Suffix
This function enables users to add customized prefix and suffix information to the standard barcode data.
For example, the host device/computer reports “VC123" before scanned barcode data when the user
scans the barcodes for “V,” “C,” “1,” “2” and “3" in the prefix setting. Likewise, the host device/computer
reports “123DE” after scanned barcode data when the user scans the barcodes for “D,” “E,” “1,” “2” and “3”
in the suffix setting. Note: A custom prefix or suffix cannot exceed 32 characters.
To Set a Custom Prefix
Scan the "Add Prefix" barcode first, and then scan the desired barcode(s) in Appendix B:
02240
Add Prefix
02220
Clear Prefix
To Set a Custom Suffix
Scan the "Add Suffix" barcode first, and then scan the desired barcode(s) in Appendix B:
02241 02200
Add Suffix Clear Suffix
Example: To set custom prefix “VC” (Hex Value 0X56/0X43)
1. Scan the “Add Prefix” programming code;
2. Scan the corresponding codes “1086” and “1067” in Appendix B;
3. Scan the “End Prefix & Suffix Addition” programming code;
Note: Upon completion, the scanner will add the custom prefix “VC” in front of the decoded barcode.

Invisible Characters Setting
The Invisible Characters setting allows users to hide specific characters of a barcode they have scanned. If
the first two characters (prefix) of the code “123456” are set to invisible, “3456” will be received on the
host device. Likewise, if the last two characters (suffix) of that same code are set to invisible, “1234” will be
the received on the host device.
Include Invisible Prefix Characters
Scan the <Invisible Prefix # Character> programming code to hide the characters you want to make
invisible.

digits>to enter the setting. Then,scan <Invisible N digit(s)>to finish the setting. For example, to set
“56” in barcode “12345678” to invisible, first scan <From the 4th digits>, then scan<invisible 2 digits>.
The Host device will receive the data as “123478.”
