Manual No. 25-NFT1121-01
Series NFT-1121/2135 Mini CCD Fixed Position Scanners
Section 1
Introduction and Getting Started
Product Overview
The NFT-1125/2135 Series Fixed Position Scanners are miniature, 100/200 scans per second bar code
readers designed to be easily incorporated into host equipment. CCD scanning technology features 100%
solid state design with absolutely no moving parts. Durability and reliability are assured.
Advanced 16-bit microprocessor technology coupled with Opticons proven decoding algorithms result in high
speed operation with superior accuracy. The scanners are fully programmable allowing the user to customize
parameters including changing communication settings, selecting symbologies, adding prefixes and
appending suffixes. Programmable settings can be downloaded from the host CPU or computer directly to
the scanner.
The NFT-1125/2135 Series scanners are encased in compact, rugged steel enclosures. The compact size permits
installation in the tightest areas. Scanners are available in both front and side view configurations allowing great
flexibility in mounting and positioning the scanner for optimum performance.
Quick Start-Up Procedure
This section is for those who wish to start using the scanner before reading the complete manual. In only a few
steps the scanner will be operable.
1) Turn off the power to your PC and connect the scanner to an RS232 communications port. Note: You must
provide +5 Volt DC power to the scanner. This can be accomplished using the power supply and patch cable
available from Opticon. Turn on the power to the PC.
2) Using communications software (e.g., Procom), set the following communication parameters:
9600 baud, 1 Start / Stop Bit, 8 Data Bits,
No Parity, No Handshaking, No Flow Control
3) If you are operating in a Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment, skip to Step 5.
4) If you are operating in a Microsoft Windows 95 environment, you can set the communication
parameters using Hyper Terminal as follows:
♦Open Hyper Terminal. This can be done from Start→Programs→Accessories
♦Select Hypertrm.exe to create a New Connection
♦In the Connection Description dialog screen enter a name for the new file. If desired, select an
Icon. Click OK
♦In the Phone Number dialog screen, in the box entitled: Connect using. select the communication
port, for example, Direct to Com 1 Click OK
♦In the Com 1 Properties screen, enter the appropriate Port Settings:
Bits per second = 9600
Data bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop Character = 1
Handshaking = None
Click OK
♦The Hyperterminal folder you just created will open. From the File pull-down menu, select
Properties then click on the Setting Tab

Manual No. 25-NFT1121-01
Series NFT-1121/2135 Mini CCD Fixed Position Scanners
♦In the Properties Settings dialog screen:
Select Terminal keys for the Function, arrow and control key
Select ANSI for Emulation,
The Backscroll buffer line can remain at the default 500
♦Click on the ASCII Setup button
In the ASCII Setup screen, select Echo typed locally so that any keyboard commands you input will
appear on your screen. Click OK. This returns you to the Properties Setting. Click OK.
Your PC and the scanner should now communicate. Skip to Step 6.
5) In a Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment, set the communication parameters using the Terminal
function of Windows.
♦From Windows Program Manager Main Menu, select Terminal
♦From the Terminal menu, select Settings
♦From the Settings menu, select Terminal Emulation
♦Set the emulation to TTY (generic)
♦From the Settings menu, select Terminal Preferences and select the following:
Terminal Modes: Line Wrap, Local Echo, Sound
CR /LF: Inbound, Outbound
Columns: 80
♦From the Settings menu, select Communications
♦Select the COM port and set communication parameters as shown in Step 2, including no flow control
6) To verify that the scanner and the PC are communicating properly, send the following command from
your PC keyboard to activate the scanners buzzer.
Send the command: <Escape> V5 <Carriage Return>
Note: Be sure to use capital letters, e.g. V5, not v5.
The buzzer should sound, indicating that good communications have been established.
7) A red scanning light should be visible. If it is not visible, the scanner may be in a mode that requires a
Trigger Command from the PC to activate it. You can exit that mode by sending the following command
from your PC keyboard:
<Escape> S7 <Carriage Return>
In this Trigger Disabled mode, the red scanner light is always illuminated. You are now ready to scan
bar codes.
8) Position the red light of the scanner over the bar code symbol to be read. When the bar code symbol is
decoded, the scanner will beep and transmit the data to the screen of your PC. You may have to move
the scanner closer or farther away from the bar code symbol in order to locate the best reading distance.
This Quick Start-Up procedure will get you started. However, in order to best understand the full capabilities
of this scanner, you should read the complete manual.
