INTRODUCTION

This menu book is intended for setting up your bar code reader to optimize its

performance for your particular application. When the required options have been

configured, they remain in the reader, even after power down. The reader can be

returned to factory default by reading the default label.

Menu labels

The reader must be set by reading the bar code labels in the menu table. The layout of

the table is explained in next figure 0.01. To have the bar codes properly decoded,

keep in mind that you are required to pull a trigger to initiate the decoding

process after accurately aiming the scanner at the 1D setup labels.

- 2 -

Besides options, some chapters have commands. The commands need to be scanned

directly, without reading the “SET” and “END” labels. The commands are executed

directly and, unlike options, are not stored in non-volatile memory.

Configuring via the menu book

To configure the required options proceed as follows:

scan the SET label

scan the required option(s)

scan the END label

After scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non-volatile memory.

Recommended steps to follow for quick configuration

After checking your connection you are ready to start the configuration of your

reader.

Check connection:

Ensure that the power is disconnected from your equipment before you connect the

reader. After connecting the data cable, the power can be applied to the equipment

and the reader.

1:

Use chapter 1 to set the correct default for your reader.

* The reader is now in factory default.

2:

Use chapter 2 to optimize the interface.

* The reader is now able to read bar codes and transmit the data.

3:

Use chapter 3 to optimize the reader for the type of bar codes you use. Set the

readable codes first and then the options for each of these codes.

* The reader is now able to read the codes you selected, validate the data using length

and check digit and transmit that part of the data you specified.

4:

Use chapter 4 to select the string options for your application. These include

transmission of code length, conversion of upper and lower case and setting a prefix

and suffix.

* The reader can now read and transmit the data in the required format.

5:

Use chapter 5 to select the read options to your preference. These options affect the

read mode, read time, trigger and redundancy.

- 3 -

6:

Use chapter 6 to select the indicator options you prefer. These options affect the

operation of the buzzer and good read LED.

* The reader will now operate to your personal preference.

See figure 0.02.

1. GENERAL OPTIONS

1.1. Restore to Factory Default Settings

This option allows you to undo all previously configured options and bring the

reader's configuration back to factory default settings. These factory default settings

are printed in bold.

Note that differences may occur depending on the type of interface as will be

mentioned in the text.

Select only the correct default settings corresponding to your hardware "defaults"

label.

The interfaces supported depend on the reader model and software release. Please

consult your sales office for not listed interfaces.

1.2. Switch User Interface and Reset to Default Settings

This option allows you to switch among multiple interfaces, including USB HID, and

Virtual COM, according to your needs. And, the current settings will be automatically

reset to factory default settings once the user interface is changed.

To verify your configuration, it is strongly advised to unplug and then re-plug the

cable after the relevant barcode labels are scanned. Otherwise, you may also try to

reboot the terminal to achieve the purpose.

If it still fails to change user interface, please be advised to scan the barcode again

after either re-plugging your scanner or restarting your terminal.

1.3. Check Firmware Version

This options allows you to retrieve the current firmware version.

Firmware Version

1.4. Enhance Barcode Scanning on Screens

In addition to the printed barcodes, you may also aim the scanner at the desired

barcode on screens to scan and decode barcodes. This section lists three adjustable

options which are all designed to improve efficiency in scanning barcodes directly

from screens.

1.4.1 No illumination detection

With no illumination detection, a target code is detected without illumination light.

The power consumption can be reduced, but the response of detection will also be

reduced. Ambient light is used for detection in this mode, so this can not be used in a
