Removal of Communication Cable
A Pin that fit the HR100 “Dismount hole”is needed. A paper clip could be ideal. Stretch one end of the
paper clip to fit the “Dismount Hole”. Follow the steps:
For RS232 and PS/2 connections, unplug the power adaptor.1、
Insert the Pin into “Dismount Hole”and keep some pressure.2、
Pull out the cable gently.3、
Pull out the Pin after the cable is removed.4、
Unplug the connector from the Host.5、

Getting to Start
ON, OFF, IDLE, RESTART
Connect HR100 and Host. One click the "Trigger". HR100 powers on and in "Idle" (ready to use) state
(factory default).
Power On
Power Off
There are 4 ways to "Power OFF":
Remove Cable Off HR100;»
Remove Power Adapter Off RS232 Cable;»
Remove USB Cable Off the Host;»
Remove PS/2 cable off the Host or power adaptor off.»
IDLE Mode
When reader is NOT reading, it is in "IDLE mode".
No reading attempt within a timeout, the Imager switch to IDLE mode automatically.
RESTART
If HR100 halted and does not respond to operations, please "Restart" by "Power OFF", and then "Power
ON".
Maintenance
The scan window must be kept clean. Improper maintenance will breach the limited warranty.»
Avoid rough objects not to damage or scratch the window.»
Use brush to remove the stain.»
Use soft cloth (cloth for glasses) to clean.»
Prohibit spraying towards the window.»
Only use clean water as a cleanser.»

Reading
1、Ensure HR100, cables, and the Host are connected, then turn the unit Power ON
2、Press & hold Trigger.
Illumination LED cast an Illumination Pattern (red light line) ;
3、Keep Illumination Pattern in the center of a bar code. Zoom in and zoom out to allocate the
Optimum Reading Stance.
4、On a successful reading, there’ll be a beep sound, illumination die out. The HR100 then transmits
barcode message to the Host.
NOTE: Experiences tell a certain range of distances has higher successful reading rate. This range is
the Optimum Reading Stance.
