Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
MT581W 2D Ring Scanner, provides hands-free freedom to user who needs to perform multi-tasks while always on the
move. Drawing very little power from the host device, MT581W ensures that the connected mobile terminal can operate
for a full shift with single charge.

Enter Setup
Barcode Programming
MT581W can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable features/options are described along
with their programming barcodes/commands in the following sections.
This programming method is most straightforward. However, it requires manually scanning barcodes. As a result, errors are
more likely to occur.
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Programming Barcode/ Programming Command/Function
The figure above is an example that shows you the programming barcode and command for the Enter Setup function:
1. The No Case Conversion barcode.
2. The No Case Conversion command.
3. The description of feature/option.
4. ** indicates factory default settings.
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Use of Programming Barcodes
Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable MT581W to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan a number of
programming barcodes to configure your engine. To exit the setup mode, scan the Exit Setup barcode or a non-programing
barcode, or reboot MT581W.
** Exit Setup

** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Programming barcode data (i.e. the characters under programming barcode) can be transmitted to the host device. Scan
the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the transmission of programming barcode data to the host device.
** Do Not Transmit Programming Barcode Data

** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Internal Illumination
A couple of illumination options are provided to improve the lighting conditions during every image capture:
Normal: Illumination LEDs on MT581W are turned on during image capture. Always
On: Illumination LEDs on MT581W keep on after MT581W is powered on. Off:
Illumination LEDs on MT581W are off all the time.
** Normal
Off
Always On
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Aiming
When scanning/capturing image, MT581W projects an aiming pattern which allows positioning the target barcode within
its field of view and thus makes decoding easier.
Normal: MT581W projects an aiming pattern only during barcode scanning/capture.
Always On: Aiming pattern is constantly on after MT581W is powered on.
Off: Aiming pattern is off all the time.
** Normal
Off
Always On
Good Read LED
The LED can be programmed to be On or Off to indicate good read.
** On
Off
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Good Read LED Duration
This parameter sets the amount of time that the Good Read LED to remain on following a good read. It is programmable in
1ms increments from 1ms to 2,500ms.
** Short (20ms)
Medium (120ms)
Long (220ms)
Prolonged (320ms)
Custom (1 - 10000ms)
Set the Good Read LED duration to 800ms:
1. Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
2. Scan the Custom barcode.
3. Scan the numeric barcodes “8”, “0” and “0” from the “Digit Barcodes” section in Appendix.
4. Scan the Save barcode from the “Save/Cancel Barcodes” section in Appendix.
5. Scan the Exit Setup barcode.
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Power On Beep
MT581W can be programmed to beep when it is powered on. Scan the Off barcode if you do not want a power on beep.
** On
Off
Good Read Beep
Scanning the Off barcode can turn off the beep that indicates successful decode; scanning the On barcode can turn it back
on.
** On
Off
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Good Read Beep Duration
This parameter sets the length of the beep MT581W emits on a good read. It is programmable in 1ms increments from
20ms to 300ms.
Short (40ms)
** Medium (80ms)
Long (120ms)
Custom (20 – 300ms)
Set the Good Read Beep duration to 200ms:
1. Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
2. Scan the Custom barcode.
3. Scan the numeric barcodes “2”, “0” and “0” from the “Digit Barcodes” section in Appendix.
4. Scan the Save barcode from the “Save/Cancel Barcodes” section in Appendix.
5. Scan the Exit Setup barcode.
** Exit Setup

Enter Setup
Good Read Beep Frequency
This parameter is programmable in 1Hz increments from 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
Extra Low (800Hz)
Medium (2730Hz)
Custom (20 - 20,000Hz)
Set the Good Read Beep frequency to 2,000Hz:
1. Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
2. Scan the Custom barcode.
Low (1600Hz)
** High (4200Hz)
3. Scan the numeric barcodes “2”, “0”, “0” and “0” from the “Digit Barcodes” section in Appendix.
4. Scan the Save barcode from the “Save/Cancel Barcodes” section in Appendix.
5. Scan the Exit Setup barcode.
