1. Introduction
1.1 Manual Description
This user’s manual mainly provides instruction on configuring MT1. By
scanning the configuration barcodes in this manual, you can change MT1’s
interface, reading mode, data format and so on. The appendix lists the default
configurations of MT1. In most cases, user can use MT1 without further
configuration.
1.2 Product Requirements

1.3 Barcode Configurability
Scanning below configuration barcodes will allow/prohibit user to change
settings by scanning configuration barcodes in this manual.
Enable Barcode Configurability* Disable Barcode Configurability
Scanning below configuration barcodes will allow/prohibit configuration
barcode data output.

1.4 Factory Default
Scanning below configuration barcode will reset all parameters to factory
default settings (the ones with *asterisk mark)
Factory Default
1.5 Custom Default
You can create your own custom default. Scan Save Custom Default
configuration barcode below and all the current settings of MT1 will be saved
to your custom default, overwriting, if any, the previous one. Scan Custom
Default to reset MT1 to the custom default settings.
Save Custom Default Custom Default
1.6 Check Version

2. Interface
MT1 provides UART serial interface and multiple USB interfaces to
communicate with the host. Through communication interface, it is possible to
receive barcode data and send command to control MT1 at the same time.
2.1 UART
Scanning below configuration barcode will set MT1 to UART interface, which is
based on TTL level signals. For RS232 communication, a conversion circuit
must be added externally.
UART
Parameter Default
Serial communication type UART (TTL-232)
Baud Rate 9600
Parity None
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Hardware Flow Control None
2.1.1 Baud Rate
The unit of Baud Rate is bps (bits per second); below are available options:
1200 2400

2.2 USB HID
Scanning below configuration barcode will set MT1 to USB HID interface, in
which MT1 becomes an HID keyboard device.

2.2.1 Intercharacter Delay
Intercharacter delay is the time interval between the release of last key and the
pressing of the next key. The configurable range is from 0 to 75ms; default is
2ms. Please refer to Appendix D for configuration method of Set
Intercharacter Delay.
2ms* 0ms
5ms 10ms
Set Intercharacter Delay
2.2.2 Polling Rate
The smaller the value, the faster MT1 sends characters to the host. If the host
loses characters, please increase polling rate.

2.2.4 Alt Code
To ensure that all ASCII code (0x00~0xFF) can be transmitted correctly
regardless of keyboard layout, Alt Code can be enabled. When Alt Code is
enabled, transmission speed will be slower because all keyboard data is sent
by key combinations. Please select one of the following modes according to
your applications:
Mode 1: Send all ASCII code (0x20~0xFF), not supported by current keyboard
layout, by Alt Code.
Mode 2: Send all ASCII code (0x20~0xFF) by Alt Code.
Mode 3: Send all ASCII code (0x00~0xFF) by Alt Code.
Note: When Mode 3 and Control Mode are enabled at the same time, Control
Code (0x00~0x1F) will be sent by Ctrl key combinations.
