Load a Battery Pack and a stylus into the Pistol Grip
A user who purchases the PG-200/1D model has a battery pack
for pistol grip. Besides, the user also has a stylus that is packed in
the package box. To install the battery pack and stylus, refer to
the MT-4008W user manual.
Caution: After loading the battery into the pistol grip,
remember to charge the battery pack first with a charger or a
power adaptor connected between the tablet and an electrical
outlet. For the detailed description of battery charging, refer
to the section titled “Charging the Battery” as described in
the MT-4008W.
Connecting the Pistol Grip onto the Tablet
The pistol grip is provided with a 1D scan engine. Posiflex pistol
grip equipped with the 1D scan engine is just a gun grip for users
to easily operate the scanner. To install the pistol grip onto the
tablet, refer to the MT-4008W user manual.
Operating the 1D Barcode Scanner
This scanner works to scan 1D
barcodes. The scanner can work in
USB HID or USB Virtual COM
mode. By default, the scanner works
in USB HID mode.

The engine projects a bright red scan beam that corresponds to the
engine’s
scanning field of view. The scan beam should be
centered horizontally over the
bar code and must highlight all the
vertical bars of the bar code. It will not read if the scan beam is in
any other direction.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
Caution! This selection erases all your settings and resets the engine to the
original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your engine,
or you’ve
changed some options and want to restore the engine to
factory default set-
tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults
bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the engine to
the factory default settings.

you want to decode only a particular symbology, scan All
Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for
that particular
symbology.

Full ASCII
If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs
within the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single
character.
For example, $V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and
/C will be decoded as
the ASCII character #. Default = Off.

UPC-E0

Data Editing
Prefix/SuffixOverview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the
host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar
code data and additional user-defined data is called a “message
string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-
defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data
characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. Youcan specify if
they should be sent with all
symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies.
The following illustration shows the break-down of a message
string:
Points to Keep In Mind
It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections
in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default
settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix is dependent
on interface.
A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one
symbology or all symbologies.
You can add any prefix or suffix through ASCII Conversion.
You can string together several entries for several
symbologies at one
time.
12

Enter prefixes and suffixes inthe order in which you want
them to appear
on the output.
When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all
symbologies),thespecificsymbologyID valuecountsas an
addedprefix or suffix character.
The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 32
characters, which includes header information.
ToAdd a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1: Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol.
Step 2: Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology
Chart
(included in the Symbology Charts) for the
symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or
suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and
Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3: Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside
the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all
symbologies.
Step4: Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart
for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5: Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.
Step 6: Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7: To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice
– once to create the leading backslash and then to create
the backslash itself.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without
saving. Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for
another symbology.
13

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:
Step 1: Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2: Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology
Chart (included in the Symbology Charts) for U.P.C.
Step3: Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart.
Step4: Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart
for the CR (carriage return).
Step5: Scan 0, Dfrom theProgramming Chart.
Step 6: Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
ToClear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all
prefixes/suffixes for a
symbology. If you have been entering
prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear
One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a
symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
Step 1: Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2: Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology
Chart (included in the Symbology Charts) for the
symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or
suffix.
Step 3: Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.

ToAdd a Carriage Return Suffix to AllSymbologies
Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return
suffix to all
symbologies at once. This action first clears all
current suffixes, and then programs a carriage return suffix for all
symbologies.

Utilities
Adding a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies
This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D.
before the decoded symbology. This action first clears all current
prefixes and then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all symbologies.
This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is
power cycled.

details.
Prefix/Suffix entries for specific symbologies override the universal (All
