Laser Safety
The Omnidirectional Laser Scan Module complies with safety stand-
ard IEC 60825 for a Class I laser product. It also complies with
CDRH as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term
starting into direct laser light.
Radiant Energy: The Omnidirectional Laser Scan Module uses one
low-power visible laser diode operating at 650nm in an opto-
mechanical scanner resulting in less than 3.9uW radiated power as
observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.
Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as
unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be
accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through
which laser light may be observed from this product. A failure of the
scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam,
may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The
scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence, If, however, a
stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be dis-
connected from its power source immediately.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this
product. Do not remove the protective housing of the scanner.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
dures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous

Introduction
This Omnidirectional Laser Scan Module is an easy-to-inter-
grate unit that performs 5 directions of scan field with a 20-
line scan pattern cycling at 1200 scan per second for quick
accurate reads. The scanner’s smart small cubic design
allows for easy integration into new equipment and efficiently
reduces overall equipment size. Multiple interfaces include

Connecting and Mounting
Power
The scanner needs a minimum of 200mA at 5V power. The
power link interface cable that comes with the scanner sup-
ports both direct power (where the scanner takes power from
the host machine) and external power (the power adapter
that's plugged into an AC outlet). If the host machine sup-
plies power, it must be the same as the input power specified
(200mA @ 5V). When external power is used, the scanner
does not take power from the host machine.
There is no on/off switch on the scanner. It turns on when
power is connected and turns off when power is removed.
It is advised to turn off your POS or host system before
installing the scanner to avoid electronic damage to your
computer.
Make sure to use only AC/DC power adaptor approved for
the scanner. The usage of other power supplies may cause
damage to the product that's not covered by factory war-
ranty.
Verifying Scanner Operation
Before installing the scanner, follow the procedures below to
make sure scanning go on properly.
1. Connect the scanner with host through cable that is
attached to the scanner.
2. (If adaptor is not required, go directly to step 4) Insert
the 8-pin modular plug of the power link cable into the
“host” connector in the back of the scanner until a firm
click is heard.
3. Plug the power adaptor into the jack on the power link
cable.

4
4. When the scanner powers up, LED light up in green and
the buzzer makes four short beep sounds. When the
self-test is finished the LED light will turn red.
5. Place the "test barcode" in front of the scanner. If the
scanner works right, it will make a short beep sound,
and the LED will show green light indicating a good read,
then the "test barcode" can be removed.
NOTE:
(1) If the scanner does not make any beep sounds or
makes the wrong beep sound or no LED light shows
when power is connected, remove power from scan-
ner and refer to troubleshooting section.
(2) If the scanner is using RS-232 or keyboard wedge
interface cables, it is able to scan barcodes continu-
ously when power is on. If the scanner is using USB
interface cable, it will only be able to scan barcodes
continuously only when connected to a host. If the
scanner is not connected to a host, it will be able to
read one barcode only (LED light stays green).
Mounting
1. Scan performance will not be affected by the mount-
ing direction of the scanner.
2. Use mounting holes on the bottom or/and back of the
scanner to mount the scanner onto host machine
(templates at the last two pages of the manual can be
used).

*** SR (strain release) that is connected to the cable
rotates 90oto comply with the way the scanner is
mounted. Therefore the scanner will be positioned
horizontally to the host machine without cable inter-
ference for optimal mounting. (See pictures below).

6
Connecting to the Host
The scanner connects to a host terminal by an interface
cable. This cable connects to the scanner with a modular
connector, and connects to the host terminal with the con-
nector required by the host (RS-232, keyboard wedge, or
USB. Different connectors used depending on the host.)
Please make sure the right cable is used for connecting the
scanner to your host terminal.
Setting Up the Scanner
No set up is required if the scanner is either pre-programmed
or it auto-detects and is ready to be used. Otherwise, the
scanner must be informed about the type of system it is con-
nected to. This can be done quickly using the Programming
Guide that’s included in the package.
The Programming Guide is used to set parameters such as
communication interface type (RS-232, Keyboard, USB),
beep tone, beep volume, sleep mode timing and same-code
delay time. Set up of a parameter does not interfere with
another parameter.
Scan Test
1. With the scanner running (LED red) and the host sys-
tem on, scan few known-good barcodes.
2. Check result on host screen. If scanner is reading
correctly, no further set up is necessary. If scanner
reads incorrectly, then go to Set Up next.

7
Set Up
1. With the scanner running (LED red) and the host sys-
tem on, scan <Enter/Exit Programming Mode> bar-
code found on the inside cover of the Programming
Guide.
2. Scanner is ready for programming if it gives one low
beep sound followed immediately by a high beep
sound and LED turns green.
3. Find the barcode which corresponds to the parameter
you require in the Programming Guide.
4. Scan the desired barcodes one by one as the scan-
ner beeps once for every barcode it memorizes.
5. When all finished, scan <Enter/Exit Programming
Mode> barcode again. The scanner will beep twice,
one long and one short. When LED turns red, the
scanner has been programmed.
6. Test scan few known-good barcodes to make sure
the scanner reads correctly. If not, try set up proce-
dures again.
Operation
This scanner is omnidirectional reading barcodes in sweep
and presentation mode depending on the host system it is
attached to. Sweep mode means moving items through the
scan window (left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom
to top etc. are all okay). Presentation mode is when an
object is moved toward the scan winow (“presented”) until
the barcode is read, then the object is removed.

Beeps
Changing Beep Volume
The scanner can be programmed with the Programming
Guide to change beeper tone, volume and period. The
default beep volume is loud. There are three sound levels:
loud, medium, and low.
Sleep Mode
After the scanner has been inactive for a period of time, the
laser automatically turns off; after some more time, the
motor turns off and the scanner enters “sleep mode” indi-
cated by the red status LED blinking once a second. To
wake up the unit, simply present an object close to the scan-
ner window. The Sleep Mode feature is included to reduce
power consumption and to extend scanner life.
Note: The scanner includes a motion sensor that detects
activity in front of the scan window. The detecting distance is
up to about 100mm from the scan window depending on
ambient light.
Beeps Status Indications
one beep a barcode has been successfully
decoded
series of 4 beeps *scanner passed self-test and is
operating properly
*when scanner is powered up
series of 2 beeps when scanner is entering pro-
gramming mode
continual beep failure indication, return to repair

Controlling the Scanner from a Host System
The scanner can be controlled from the host system via the
RS-232C interface. Control can be accomplished by trans-
mitting the following single-byte commands to the scanner.
The default setting for the commans are as follows:
Note: When the scanner is disabled, the motor of the scan-
ner will stay on until the scanner goes into sleep
mode.
Maintaining the Scanner
The scanner rarely needs any maintenance, only an occa-
sional cleaning of the scanner window is necessary to
remove any dirt or fingerprint. To clean the scanner window,
use a soft lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to avoid
scratching the scanner window. The scanner window can be
cleaned while the scanner is running.
