Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide is designed to help you learn the basic functions for operating the device. The guide
also contains brief instructions for using the device again at a later stage. However, this Quick Start Guide
does not replace the manual on the CD supplied.
The Quick Start Guide does not explain complex scenarios or offer detailed information. If you wish to use
the full range of device functions, refer to the manual. We also recommend reading the manual if you are
unsure about handling the device or experience device malfunctions.
1.2 Intended use
Operating the Handheld in a way different from that described in these instructions may have a negative
effect on the reliability and function of the device and connected systems. Protection of operating personnel
and the overall system is no longer guaranteed if the device is not used as specified.
The handheld was designed for identifying 1D and 2D codes and should be used for this purpose only. The
handheld is flexible and can therefore be used to decode codes in many branches of industry, such as the
logistics sector.

2.2 Operating modes
2.2.1 USB operating modes
Changing USB operating modes
There are 3 operating modes for USB operation of the handheld.
To change the USB operating mode, scan the relevant code in the following table.
Caution!
Data loss
An incorrectly preset interface may lead to data loss.
Make sure that the Handheld is connected to the interface (USB, RS 232, Bluetooth) preset in
the Handheld. If necessary, use another interface cable or modify the settings in the Handheld.
USB Keyboard Mode
Scan this code to transmit all the scanned data from the handheld to the
computer.
The data transmitted by the handheld are handled by the computer as data
which have been input via a USB keyboard.

2.3 Positioning and reading techniques
This handheld uses digital camera technology to record an image of the code to be read. After an image has
been recorded, the handheld uses highly developed evaluation procedures to evaluate the data contained in
the recording.
This handheld supports you with target projections in the form of two squares distinguished by color when
codes are sighted and focused. This projection is realized by one red and one green LED on the handheld.
Precise positioning becomes increasingly important in the case of small codes or codes with a high
information density.
1Handheld too far away from the code
2Handheld positioned too close to the code
3Handheld optimally positioned (optimum distance: 5.8 cm)

Sighting and reading 1D and 2D codes
1. With the trigger button pressed, aim the red square at the code to be read.
2. Alter the distance between the handheld and the code, depending on the position of the green square:
the code is optimally sighted as soon as the two squares overlap.
The code is read automatically. In the event of successful decoding, the acoustic and tactile signal
sounds and the status LED flashes green once (depending on the configuration of the handheld).
2.4 Optimizing reading performance
With this handheld, you can improve the reading performance by specifying the size and information density
of the codes that are to be scanned.
1. If you typically tend to read a wide variety of codes, scan the Wide-Field DOT (Default) code.
2. If you typically tend to read small, 2D codes with high information density, scan the SXGA Mode code.
3. If you typically tend to read medium-sized, 1D and 2D codes with low information density, scan the VGA
Mode code.
4. To save your settings, scan the Save Settings code.
Note!
Because of the large detection area of the handheld, we advise to cover the codes you don't
want to scan. Thus you prevent to set a wrong setting inadvertently.
