About This Guide
This programming guide applies to various handheld scanners, including
* Advanced Handheld Contact CCD Scanner,
* Advanced Middle-Range Handheld CCD Scanner,
Some settings are not available for certain models. If you are not sure about the
model of your scanner at hand, refer to the device label or contact your distributor.
This document is in A5 size. Please check your printing setting before printing it out.
When barcodes are to be printed out for programming, the use of a high-resolution
laser printer is strongly suggested for the best scan result.
The settings herein shall be updated periodically without prior notice. For the latest
version, please contact your distributor.
Introduction to Scanner Configuration
Scanning a series of programming barcode labels can configure the series scanners.
This allows decoding options and interface protocols to be tailored to a specific
application. The configuration is stored in non-volatile memory and will not be lost by
removing power from the scanner.
The scanner must be properly powered before programming. For RS-232C type
scanners, an external power adapter must be used to supply DC power to the scanner.
If a keyboard emulation type scanner is used with an IBM PC/XT/ AT, PS/2 or any fully
compatible computers, power will be drawn from the keyboard port. No external
power adapter is required. If keyboard emulation type scanner is used with any other
non IBM PC compatible computers, an external power adapter may be needed.
Programmable options are divided into four groups. The second group governs the
operation of different interfaces, RS-232 serial ports, keyboard, and USB. The third
group sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology. The last group is
about more advanced data formatting.

Programming Procedure
Below is the programming procedure by using barcodes in this guide.
1. Power up the scanner.
2. Scan the Start of Configuration barcode.
3. Scan the barcode for the desired feature. Multiple features can be
enabled/disabled before scanning the End of Configuration barcode.
4. Scan the End of Configuration barcode and save the new configuration.
5. To give up a configuration change, power off the scanner before scanning the
End of Configuration barcode or scan the Abort barcode.
6. For some parameter setting, such as barcode length and identifier code, it is
required to scan the Set barcode to save the configuration.
Default values are highlighted in gray background.
Scan the
“
Start of
Configuration” barcode
Scan the
“
End of
Configuration” barcode
Scan the
“
Abort
”
barcode
Power off the scanner
Finish the configuration
Scan barcode of the
desired feature
Power up the scanner
Discard the configuration

SM01
Trigger Mode
 The scanner becomes inactive as soon as the data
is transmitted. It must be triggered to become
active again.
SM02
Auto Scan Mode
 The scanner is still active after the data is
transmitted but the successive transmission of
the same barcode is not allowed when the trigger
switch is pressed again.
SM04
Pulse Mode
 The scanner will light up and blink when press the
scanner trigger switch once and the scanner will
turn off after next pressing.
SM05
Repeat Mode
 This mode is similar to Auto Scan Mode, but
double reading for the same barcode is
prohibited if the scanner switch is pressed.
SM06
Momentary mode
 The scanner will light up only when the trigger
switch is pressed the scanner will turn off when
the trigger switch is release.
