Control Bar Codes
Connect ROV Scanner Cable
Start Scanning
You can connect your ROV Scanner to a host computer with a serial cable (included) or a USB
cable (sold separately). If you turn o the host computer before connecting the scanner cable,
remember to turn the computer on to activate and use your scanner. You can unplug your ROV
Scanner from the cable and use it in batch mode to scan and save bar codes. Then just reconnect
and upload the bar codes to your host computer.
Before you use a serial cable, or USB cable in serial mode, make sure that your host application
can communicate with the serial port so the application can receive bar code data. You do not
have to start a software application before you use the USB cable in keyboard mode.
Serial cable
1. Connect the serial cable to an available serial port on your host
computer.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the serial port on your
ROV Scanner.
USB cable
1. Connect the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the serial port on your
ROV Scanner.
Note: The Microvision USB cable operates in two modes: serial mode or keyboard mode. In serial mode, the
USB cable emulates a serial cable. In keyboard mode, the USB cable sends bar codes as if they were typed on
a keyboard. For more information, see the USB Cable Quick Start Guide.
Use the sample bar code on this page to perform your rst scan with your ROV Scanner or ROV
Scanner with Bluetooth.
If you use Scanner Wedge, start Scanner Wedge and go to the Trace page before you begin
to scan. If you use SerialMagic, iMagic, Media Organizer, eCell, or another software program,
please read the appropriate user guide for information about preparing to scan.
1. Point the scanner at the bar code on this page.
2. Press and hold the Scan button and make sure that the red laser line appears.
3. Aim the laser line so that it crosses the entire bar code.
The scanner beeps and the LED indicator ashes when the scan is successful.
4. When you hear the scanner beep, or see the LED indicator ash, release the Scan button.
If you are using Scanner Wedge, you should see the bar code 1234567 on the Trace page.
Minimize Scanner Wedge. Open the software program you want to use, put the insertion point
where you want the scanned data, and start to scan.
Make sure that the laser line is across the bar code you want
to scan and than move the scanner to change the scan
angle. If you do not see the scanner laser line, make sure
that there are batteries in the scanner and the batteries
have sucient power.

to the Trace screen. If you see bar codes on the Trace screen, then your scanner is working. If you
do not see bar codes, go to the Connections screen to make sure that your scanner is connected
and activated. If you are using SerialMagic or a custom application, please refer to the appropri-
ate user guide to nd troubleshooting information.
