Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
MT580W 2D Ring Scanner, when paired with smartphone such as J2 Mobile Platform, 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, MT580W ensures that the connected mobile terminal can operate for a full
shift with single charge.
About This Guide
The MT580W has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without
further configuration. Users may check the Factory Defaults Table in Appendix for reference.
Throughout the manual, asterisks (**) indicate factory default values.

BarcodeScanning
Powered by high performance area-imaging technology, the MT580W features fast scanning and
accurate decoding. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read with ease. When scanning a
barcode, simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by the MT580W over the barcode.
BarcodeProgramming
Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the engine 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.
If the engine has exited the setup mode, only some special programming barcodes, such as the Enter
Setup barcode, can be read.
Enter Setup ** Exit Setup
Programming barcode data can be transmitted to the Host. Scan the appropriate barcode below to
enable or disable the transmission of programming barcode data (i.e. the characters under programming
barcode) to the Host.
Restarting the engine will automatically disable the transmisison of programming barcode data to the
Host.

Inquire Product Information
You can scan the barcode below to inquire the engine information (such as firmware version, model
number, serial number, manufacture date). The result will be sent to the Host.

Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces
The MT580W provides a USB interface (optional) to communicate with the host device. The host
device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the
configuration information of the engine via the interface.
USB Interface (Optional)
USB Enumeration
If the engine is connected to the Host via a USB connection, the engine will be enumerated using S/N or
“00000000” after power-up. Enumeration using S/N enables the Host to distinguish even between
engines of same model. Enumeration using “00000000” disables the Host from distinguishing between
engines of same model.
Driver installation is required for each USB device distinguished from others by the Host in the process of
enumeration.

USB HID-KBW
When you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the USB HID-KBW
feature by scanning the barcode below. Then engine’s transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard
input. The Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no
driver is required.

Beep on Unknown Character
Due to the differences in keyboard layouts, some characters contained in barcode data may be
unavailable on the selected keyboard. As a result, the engine fails to transmit the unknown characters.
Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of beep when an unknown
character is detected.
Beep on Unknown Character ** Do Not Beep on Unknown Character
Inter-Keystroke Delay
This parameter specifies the delay between emulated keystrokes. It is programmable in 5ms increments
from 0ms to 75ms. Single-digit values must have a leading zero. To learn how to program custom delay,
see Appendix 5. The default setting is 10ms.
No Delay Short Delay (20ms)
Long Delay (40ms) Custom Delay

Example: When the Convert All to Lower Case feature is enabled, barcode data “AbC” is transmitted
as “abc”.

Emulate ALT+Keypad
This feature allows any ASCII character (0x00 - 0xFF) to be sent over the numeric keypad no matter
which keyboard type is selected. Since sending a character involves multiple keystroke emulations, this
method appears less efficient.
The following options are available:
Disable: No ASCII character is sent in theALT+Keypad way.
Mode 1: ASCII characters not supported by the selected keyboard type but falling into 0x20~0xFF
are sent in theALT+Keypad way.
Mode 2: ASCII characters falling into 0x20~0xFF are sent in the ALT+Keypad way.
Mode 3: All ASCII characters (0x00~0xFF) are sent in the ALT+Keypad way.
Note: In the event of a conflict between Function Key Mapping and Mode 3, Function Key Mapping
shall govern.
** Disable Mode 1
Mode 2 Mode 3
Example: Supposing US keyboard is selected, barcode data ”AÐF” (65/208/70) is sent as below:
(1) Mode 1 is enabled:
“A” -- Keystroke “A”
“Д -- “ALT Make” + “208” + “ALT Break”
“F” -- Keystroke “F”
(2) Mode 3 is enabled:
“A” – “ALT Make” + “065” + “ALT Break”
“Д -- “ALT Make” + “208” + “ALT Break”
“F” -- “ALT Make” + “070” + “ALT Break”

Function Key Mapping
When Function Key Mapping is enabled, function characters (0x00 - 0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences
over the keypad. For more information, see Appendix 8: ASCII Function Key Mapping Table.

Example: Barcode data 0x16

Emulate Numeric Keypad
When this feature is disabled, sending barcode data is emulated as keystroke(s) on main keyboard.
To enable this feature, scan the Emulate Numeric Keypad barcode. Sending a number (0-9) is
emulated as keystroke(s) on numeric keypad, whereas sending other characters like “+”, “_”, “*” , “/” and
“.” is still emulated as keystrokes on main keyboard.
** Do Not Emulate Numeric Keypad Emulate Numeric Keypad
Code Page
In order to support more international characters, the Code Page programming feature is provided. This
feature is only effective when ASCII characters are sent in the ALT+Keypad way. Programming a code
page requires scanning numeric barcode (For more information, see Appendix 9: Code Pages List).
The default code page is Windows 1252 (Latin I). To learn how to program it, see Appendix 5.

USB COM Port Emulation
If you connect the engine to the Host via a USB connection, the USB COM Port Emulation feature
allows the Host to receive data in the way as a serial port does.A driver is required for this feature.
USB COM Port Emulation
USB HID-POS
Introduction
The USB HID-POS interface is recommended for new application programs. It can send up to 56
characters in a single USB report and appears more efficient than keyboard emulation.
Features:
HID based, no custom driver required.
Way more efficient in communication than keyboard emulation and traditional RS-232 interface.
Note: USB HID-POS does not require a custom driver. However, a HID interface on Windows 98 does.
All HID interfaces employ standard driver provided by the operating system. Use defaults when installing
the driver.

Access the Engine with Your Program
Use CreateFile to access the engine as a HID device and then use ReadFile to deliver the scanned data
to the application program. Use WriteFile to send data to the engine.
For detailed information about USB and HID interfaces, go to www.USB.org.
