Power On
Connect FM200 and Host. FM200 will power on and in "Idle" status (factory default).
Communication Programming, Reading and User Preference Programming can be progressed when power ON.
Power Off
4 ways to "Power OFF":
Remove Cable Off HR200;
»
Remove Power Adapter Off RS232 Cable;»
Remove USB Cable Off the Host;»
Remove PS/2 cable off the Host»
IDLE Mode
When Imager is NOT reading, it is in "IDLE mode".
No reading attempt within a timeout, the Imager switch to IDLE mode automatically.
RESTART
If FM200 halted and does not respond to operations, please "Restart" by "Power OFF", and then "Power ON".

Programming Outline
Introduction
There are 3 ways to program user options:
Code Programming: special encoded barcodes to work on "read & set options" base;1.
Command Programming: a ASCII string, the Imager received from data cable as commands to set options;2.
QuickSet：a programming software exclusively use by Newland Auto-ID products. It displays decoded data3.
and images captured. Programming work on "choose & set options" base from dialog windows.
Note: Programming results restore in non-volatile memories and will not lose when Power OFF.
Code Programming
Please read "Code Programming ON" bar to activate "Code Programming" function. More than one
programming code can be read at a time allows various programming. Terminate code programming function by
reading "Code Programming OFF", or by reading an ordinary barcode.
Some code programming may use digits. They can be "input" by reading relevant codes See Appendix for digit
codes.
** Code Programming OFF
【Pro CMD：0006000】
Code Programming ON
【Pro CMD：0006010】

Programming Outline
Command Programming
The Programming Command (Pro CMD) pairs a unique Programming Code. Sending commands to the Imager
is identical with Code Programming. A full command is formed by [Start Symbol "nls" + Pro CMD = Parameters].
There are 4 ways to program a command:
"nls" + Pro CMD1.
E.g. [nls0100060], set RS232 transmit Baud Rate to 38400bps
"nls" + Pro CMD = Decimal Parameter2.
It is used to define parameter, such as Min Message Length.
E.g. [nls0312040=10], select Sensor Mode Sensitivity to be 10
"nls" + Pro CMD = Hex Parameter3.
It is used to program Prefix, Suffix, Stop Bits, CodeID, Message Length, and Message Intersection.
E.g. [nls0310000=0x0d0a], program Suffix to be CR/LF
"nls" + Pro CMD = "Parameter"4.
Letters, digits and characters can be embraced by quotation mark as parameter.
E.g. [nls0300000="AUTO-ID"], program Prefix to be AUTO-ID

Reading
The “Sensor Mode”or “Continuous Mode”should be selected. See “Reading Mode”for details.
Because FM200 does not have a manual trigger, and it is a fix mount reader.
Mobile phone screen should be facing the scan window for the optimum reading stance.

Tools
Illumination LED lighting up barcodes is used to capture better images. There are 4
options:
“Illumination Wink”: LED keep flashing when reading
»
“Illumination Keep ON”: LED keep on when Power ON»
“Illumination Read ON”: LED keep on when reading»
“Illumination OFF”: LED is off all the time»

Aiming LED focusing with a cross is used to allocate the Optimum Reading Stance.
There are 4 options:
“Aim Wink”: LED keep flashing when reading
»
“Aim Keep ON”: LED keep on when Power ON»
“Smart Aim”: LED keep on when idle, and keep on when reading. Reading Mode»
automatically switches to “Sensor Mode”when “Smart Aim”is chosen.
“Aim OFF”: LED is off all the time
