About this manual
This User's Guide provides detailed programming instructions. Barcode
scanners are factory programmed for the most common communication
settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is
accomplished by scanning the barcodes in this guide.
1.1 Setup Scanner PC
To use the scanner with a Windows PC, simply connect the base to your
PC with the provided cable. The scanner is paired with the base by
default. To re-pair the scanner with the base, or to pair the scanner with
a different base, use the instructions below. After scanning each barcode
wait until the scanner beeps before proceeding to the next step.
Wait until the Blue LED on the scanner
and base turn solid

1.4 Memory Mode
The scanner can be configured to store all scanned barcodes in the
scanners internal memory. While in memory mode the scanner will
not transmit any barcodes until the "Transmit Stored Data" barcode
is scanned. The scanner can hold a maximum of X barcodes in
internal memory.
Scanning "Transmit Count of Stored Barcodes" will transmit the
number of barcodes currently held in memory mode. "Clear All
Stored Data" will erase all stored barcodes from the scanners
memory and can not be un-done.

1.5 Sleep Settings
If the scanner has not been used for a set amount of time the
scanner will automatically enter sleep mode. To take the scanner
out of sleep mode simply press and hold the trigger for 1 second.
To change the amount of time before the scanner enters sleep
mode, scan one of the barcodes below.

Most of time the scanner only requires one barcode when changing to
new values. You will hear two beeps when you successfully change a
setting. For some special settings, multiple barcodes are needed to
complete the configuration. When using these special settings, you might
need to read one or more barcodes, such as:
Hexadecimal barcodes. For example: prefix, suffix, etc.
Numeric barcodes. For example: inter-character delay, max/min length
To complete changing the setting you will need to scan the “Confirm”
barcode after scanning from the hexadecimal table. Below is the flow chart
for the two different types of configuration.

{Prefix} {Code ID} {Bar Code} {Suffix}
How to set up a prefix?
To configure “#“as a prefix
(1) Scan "Start Configuration"
(2) Scan "Preamble"
(3) Scan "2" then "3" from the HEX
table. (p. 61)

2.5 Setup Insertion
This section describes how to setup insertion groups. Insertion groups allow
you to insert characters into the output from scanned barcodes.
NOTE :



Max. 10 charters can be inserted each time
Max. Insertion groups is two.
Insertion group (01) or (02) can be used in different kinds of
barcodes at the same time

Example:
To make the above barcode output 12A3456789,
insert an "A" character before the third digit (3).
How to set the character you want to insert
(1) Scan “Start Configuration“ barcode
(2) Scan “G1 Insertion character”
(3) Scan “4” and “1” from HEX Table (p.61)
(4) Scan “Confirm Configuration“ barcode
(5) Scan “End Configuration“ barcode
How to set the position you wish to place the character
(6) Scan “Start Configuration“ barcode
(7) Scan “G1 Character Position”
(8) Scan “0” and “3” from HEX Table (p.61)
(which sets the position)
(9) Scan “Confirm Configuration“ barcode
(10) Scan “End Configuration“ barcode
How to set the insertion for Code 39
Go to page 27 (Code 39)
(11) Scan “Start Configuration“ barcode
