Load a Battery Pack and a stylus into the Pistol Grip
A user who purchases the PG-200/2D 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 2D scan engine. Posiflex pistol grip
equipped with the 2D 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 2D Image Scanner
This scanner works to scan 2D barcodes. The
scanner can work in USB HID or USB
Virtual COM mode. By default, the scanner
works in USB HID mode.
The factory default settings are shown with <>and bold in the following
sections. You can make your own settings by scan a series of selected barcode
patches in this manual to affect setup and programming of your handheld 2D
Image Reader.
Scan a series of selected barcode patches in this manual to affect setup and
programming of your handheld 2D Image Reader. Decoding options and
interface protocols can be tailored to a specific application.
Setup parameters are stored in the non-volatile memory of the scanner and are
retained even when power is off. Setup parameters change only when you reset
them.
You may need to hide adjacent code patches with your hand when doing
programming scanning.

Trigger Modes
Level Mode - A trigger event activates decode processing, which continues
until the trigger event ends, a valid decode, or the decode session time-out is
reached. This scan mode is not available for scan module.
Presentation Mode - When the device detects an object in its field of view it
triggers and attempts to decode. The range of object detection does not vary
under normal lighting conditions. This applies to decode mode only. In this
mode the unit does not enter its sleep state.
Host Mode - A host command issues the triggering signal. The device
interprets a trigger pull as a level triggering option. This scan mode is not
available for scan module.

USB Polling Interval
This option speeds up the USB HID Keyboard Emulation Device. Scan a bar
code below to set the polling interval. The polling interval determines the rate
at which data can be sent between the decoder and the host computer. A lower
number indicates a faster data rate. The default value is 8 msec.
When the polling interval is changed the decoder re-initializes.
CAUTION: Ensure your host machine can handle the selected data rate.
Selecting a data rate that is too fast for your host machine may
result in lost data.

Symbologies
The device is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table
if the default values suit requirements; programming is not necessary.
There are two ways to change a parameter value:
Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace
the standard default values in memory.
For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a “parameter send” command from
the host system. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this section
below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the
accompanying bar codes.
Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the
screen. When scanning them on the screen, be sure to set the document
magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars
and/or spaces are not merging.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter bar
code. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are framed.

format before transmission. After conversion, the data follows UPC-A format
and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check
Digit). When being disabled, UPC-E decoded data is transmitted as UPC-E
data, without conversion.

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters
TRANSMIT CODE ID
A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is
useful when the decoder is decoding more than one code type. In addition to
any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted
between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
Select no Code ID character, a Default Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID
character. For Code ID Characters, see Default Code Identifiers and AIM Code
Identifiers.

Prefix/Suffix Values
A prefix and/or one or two suffixes can be appended to scan data for use in
data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a prefix or suffix bar
code below, then scan a four-digit number (i.e., four barcodes, Numeric Bar
Codes) that corresponds to that value. To correct an error or change a selection,
scan Cancel barcode.
Note: To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format.
For non-SSI hosts, when using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set
the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit decimal value.
