Supplementary Instructions

This Supplementary Instructions explains how to get started with a barcode scanner and

point out cases where the operation of the computer will differ from that in the Operating

Instructions.

Scanning Window

Do not look directly into the scanning window.

DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE LASER LIGHT.

Do not scan barcodes with parameter settings. Erroneous settings may be set in the scan-

ner, necessitating repair work.

Be sure to read “Precautions” in the Handheld Computer Operating Instructions.

Precautions

First-time Operation

Names and Functions of Parts

ENGLISH

First-time Operation

After finishing the”First-time Operation” of Operating Instructions, install the driver

for Barcode Scanner using the following procedure.

Install the driver for Barcode Scanner

If the [PanaBCI] file is not inside the [Options] folder in [My Computer], perform all steps

from (1) to (7).

If the [PanaBCI] file is present, perform steps (4) through (7).

(1)Tap [Start]-[Run] in order, then input “ffrestore.exe r”, and then tap [OK].

The driver for Barcode Scanner will be copied from the Flash memory to the [Options]

folder in [My Computer].

(2)When [Complete] is displayed, press * or * .

* Varies depending on the models.

(3)Double-tap [My Computer], and then double-tap the [Options] folder.

(4)Double-tap [PanaBCI].

A screen will be displayed specifying the install destination folder.

(5)Tap [OK].

(6)When [Setup Complete] is displayed, tap [OK].

(7)Push the reset switch using the stylus.

NOTE

Once the power switch has been pressed, you must wait at least 10 seconds before press-

ing it again.

Supplementary Instructions

Setting for Barcode Scanner

(1)Tap [Start]-[Settings]-[Control Panel] and then double-tap [Barcode Scanner]

(2)If necessary, tap the tab and adjust the settings.

To display a hidden tab, tap the on the right edge of the tab.

[Keyboard Emulation]: Determines whether or not scanned barcode data is targeted for key

emulation.

[Laser]: Laser mode setting

[Raster Height] and [Raster Speed] can only be set when [Always Ras-

ter] and [Programmable Raster] have been selected.

In [The irradiation time of the laser], set the length of time before laser

irradiation stops in the event that the barcode scan is unsuccessful.

[Decode Format]: [Prefix/Suffix data format] and [code ID Data format] settings

[Code Type Option]: Code type option settings

To add Check Digit Codes, tap [OPEN DIALOG BOX].

[Code Type]: Select valid code type(s). Items showing check marks are valid items.

[Button]: To scan barcodes by pressing the trigger on either side of the com-

puter, set [Trigger Enable/Disable] to [Enable].

When triggers are not used for scanning, select one of the following:

F1 button, F2 button, F3 button, or option button.

[BEEP]: Set whether to emit a “beep” sound when the barcode scan is success-

ful.

(3)Tap [OK].

Close the [Barcode Scanner] settings screen when scanning a barcode.

Even if you perform “All Reset” on this computer, settings for [Laser], [Decode For-

mat], [Code Type Option], and [Code Type] items will not return to their default set-

tings.

To return these items to their default settings, tap the [Version] tab, and then tap the [Set

Default] button.

NOTE

ENGLISH

Scanning Barcodes

1Aim the scanner at the barcode.

2Press one of the trigger buttons on either side

of the computer.

If the barcode scan application software has been set for use

with F1, F2, F3, or option buttons (using [Start]-[Settings]-

[Control Panel]-[Barcode Scanner]-[Button]), press the but-

ton assigned for this function ( “Program Buttons” in

the Handheld Computer Operating Instructions).

The red scan beam for reading is emitted from the scanning

window. Make sure the red scan beam covers the entire barcode.

To Correctly Read a Barcode with This Computer, Observe the Following.

The scanning angle is a very important factor. The scanner may be unable to correctly

read a barcode if it is directly perpendicular to the barcode and the red scan beam is

reflected back into the scanner. Perform reading at the angle indicated in the figure. Set at

a 15

angle from the perpendicular position.

Perform scanning so that the red scan beam for reading intersects the barcode itself (in-

cluding at least 12.7 mm {1/2"} beyond each edge of the barcode).

Hold the scanner farther away when reading a larger barcode, and closer in when reading

a smaller barcode or a thinner barcode.

Right Wrong

It is impossible to scan a barcode for 5 or 6 seconds after turning on the computer

because the barcode scanner is being initialized.

NOTE

Press trigger button.

Supplementary Instructions

Scanning PDF417 (2D) Barcodes

(Only for 2D barcode model)

The 2-Dimensional terminal supports PDF417 barcode reading. It produces a raster pattern

featuring multiple scanning rows to accommodate the multiple rows of a PDF417 symbol.

1Aim the scanner at the PDF417 barcode.

2Press one of the trigger buttons on either side of the computer.

If the barcode scan application software has been set for use with F1, F2, F3, or option buttons

(using [Start]-[Settings]-[Control Panel]-[Barcode Scanner]-[Button]), press the button as-

signed for this function ( “Program Buttons” in the Handheld Computer Operating Instruc-

tions).

The red scan beam for reading is emitted from the scanning window. Make sure the red

scan beam covers the entire barcode.

Read the previous page for precautions when performing reading with the scanner.

3Hold the button down and keep the scan pattern parallel to the symbol’s

rows.

Be sure the scan pattern extends at least 12.7 mm {1/2"} beyond each edge of the barcode.

"Tall" PDF Barcodes

If the vertical scan pattern is not high enough to cover a “tall” PDF417 symbol, try a slow up

and down scanning motion. With the raster pattern open, move the scanner slowly down

towards the bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam horizontal to the rows, and then slowly

back up towards the top.

ENGLISH

Troubleshooting

When reinstalling the driver

for Barcode Scanner, “File

Write Error” is displayed.

A message indicating insuf-

ficient memory appears

while scanning.

Scanning is not possible.

It is impossible to scan a

barcode even if the trigger

button is pressed.

Check if the computer memory is full. If it is full, de-

lete unnecessary files.

Check if the [Options] folder in [My Computer] has

been deleted. If it has been deleted, recreate the [Op-

tions] folder in [My Computer] as follows:

(1) Double tap [My Computer], tap [File], and then tap

[New Folder].

(2) Input “Options” for new folder name.

Free memory of at least two times the scan data is neces-

sary.

Confirm that the scanning application has been in-

stalled.

Confirm that the barcode is readable (without damage,

etc.)

Confirm the range for scanning

Be sure the scanner is programmed to read the type of

barcode you are scanning.

The distance from the scanner to the barcode is impor-

tant. As a rule of thumb, a farther distance should be

used for a larger symbol to allow the raster pattern to

cover the symbol. In addition, a closer distance should

be used for a thinner symbol.

If the laser beam is not emitted even after the button is

pressed, confirm the remaining battery level.

Confirm that the trigger button is active on the [Button]

tab under [Barcode] on the [Control Panel].

Laser Devices

This equipment is using lasers that comply with US21CFR1040.10, 1040.11, and EN

60825-1+A11:1996 regulations.

The laser is a “Class 2” laser which is indicated on the label for this product.”

Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very bright light

source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into the light beam. Momen-

tary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be harmful.

Caution-Procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation ex-

posure.

Cleaning the Scanning Window

If the scanning window is dirty, gently wipe the scanning window with a cloth or a cotton

swab moistened with water.

Do not allow materials that can easily scratch the scanning window to touch the window,

such as sandpaper or metal object. In addition, do not directly apply a liquid such as water,

detergent, or alcohol, on the surface of the window.

For parts other than the scanning window, please read “Maintenance” in the Handheld Com-

puter Operating Instructions.
