Installation
1) First of all, you must make sure that the power is disconnected
form your equipment before connecting the scanner. Beside, you
also have to check the cable connector of the scanner match
your equipment interface correctly.
2) Boot up your computer after connecting the scanner with your
equipment, the scanner will make a long music and light the LED,
above scanner to indicate a successful power on. Trigger the
button, the scan line in front of scanner will active. Now you can
start to set programming optimal usage.
(If any of the above operation is not right, turn off the power
immediately and check any improper connections. Go through all
above steps again.
Recommened Steps
When the required settings have been configured, all settings
are stored in non volatile memory of scanner after reading EXIT
label. There are recommended steps as follows.
1) Set right host interface for your scanner at
10.
(The scanner is in factory default as bold label)
2) Set interface to optimize protocol of scanner with your host in
Charter 2.
3) Set system control of scanner, such as specific adjustments
double confirm, power saving, indicator and scanning mode
which you prefer usage in Chapter 3.
4) Set code option of scanner for your usage in Chapter 4. You
must make sure to enable the symbology first, then Min./Max.
code length, code ID checksum and truncate digits are also
convered.
5) Set string format of the scanner, such as preamble, postamble,
prefix, suffix, code ID and code name transmission for your
application in Chapter 5.
(If any of the error step is processing, scanner will generate a 5
wanrrying beeps to indicate an invaild setting. You have to take
care this matter and set correctly again.
(If still not work properly. Please contact with dealer.

Frequent Question
Q: Why scanner block the keyboard operation?
A: Check the cable connection with your equipment, then turn
power on again.
Q: If scanner has a good read beep but nothing transferring
after read a label.
A: Using the SETTING LIST at
10 to show what current setting of
scanner is, or reset to Default, (or select right Interface default if
scanner to be change another interface used), then re-program
scanner again.
Q: If scanner dosen't need an Enter character addition after
each barcode label transmission.
A: Refer to postamble transmission at
60, then set Disable.
Q: If scanner needs to read single digit code.
A: Refer to Min. code length of code option use "01" in Chapter 4
for single code readable.
Q: If scanner isn't able to discriminate an unknown label, but
read manual very well.
A: Refer to code name at
64 to set Enable, read a barcode label,
then you will know what symbology is read. Beside, it maybe
need to verify checksum. Refer to verify checksum of code
option in Chapter 4, and set Enable.
Q: If scanner transfers character very slow or loses some
characters on screen in keyboard interface after reading a
label.
A: You may set caps lock to be Alt+Keypad at
11. Otherwise, it
maybe mis-match of transmission rate, therefore, you can adjust
an appropriate Inter-char. Delay to match your equipment. See
11.
Q: If scanner want to read a label as function key for your
apprication.
A: Refer to function key simulation at
11 and set Enable, then
scanner can transmit a code as function key. It is used for
keyboard interface only. Beside, you must make sure that a label
is encoded as function key, and its ASCII code is from 0016 to
1F16 You can refer to ASCII code table at
71.

Q:Could I change scanner into different type interface directly?
A: You can change factory interface default for other type interface.
By plug different cable, program scanner and set right interface
to exit, then the scanner will be change to another interface.
However, you must make sure what cable you need. Refer
Cable Type to 66, 67.
Q: How to configure scanner via RS-232C?
A: Next to the selection description, you will find a frame command,
such as AAB. These commands can be sent to scanner with
RS-232C interface. You must make sure that scanner is the
same protocal as your equipment of RS-232C, and light source
of scanner has been actived by pressing button.
Example Beep Loudness Level "10", Good-read Beep "Enable"
To configure the reguired commands proceed as follows:
Send as: <ESC>(1B16) BCommand(s) B<CR>(0D16)

Keyboard Speed
By selecting, you can change output
speed of scanner to advance or match
with host computer. Generally, set
High or Turbo in working high
performance. If some output
characters of barcode have been lost
or shown on screen slowly, you may
need to set Medium or Low to match
your host keyboard speed.
Function Key Simulation
Set Enable scanner can output code
as pressing function-key in your
application program while the barcode
datas contain ASCII value between
0116 to 1F16.. See
60 and Refer to
ASCII table
71 at grey area. You'll
find function-keys withASCII codes.
The Keypad have to selecte if your
application program is only keypad
numeric code acceptable. So, scanner
will output code as press numeric
key-pad when it read numeric digit.
(The keypad is in the right side of
keyboard, and Num Lock control key
is also on.)
By selecting Uppercase or Lowercase,
scanner can get Caps Lock status. If

ETX: End Of Text (ASCII Code 0316)
Xon: Transmit On (ASCII Code 1316)
Xoff: Transmit Off (ASCII Code 1116)
Disable: The communication only
uses TxD and RxD signals without
regard for any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS (CTS/RTS): If the scanner
wants to send the barcode data to
host computer, it will issue the RTS
(CTS) signal first, wait for the CTS
(RTS) signal from the host computer,
and then perform the normal data
communication. If there is no replied
CTS (RTS) signal from the host
computer after the timeout (Response
Delay) duration, the scanner will issue
a 5 warning beeps.
Scanner Ready: The scanner will
active the RTS signal after power-on,
and will transmit data upon receiving
active CTS signals.
Data Ready: The scanner will active the RTS signal to indicate a
successful decoding and will transmit data upon receiving CTS
signals.
STX/ETX: The STX and ETX are used to pack barcode together in
the normal data transmission.
Xon/Xoff: When the host computer is unable to accept data, it
sends an Xoff code to inform the scanner to suspend data
transmission,and Xon to continue.
CTS Trigger: This operation enabled an external device to control
scanning. The CTS trigger is controlled by applying an external
trigger signal to the CTS input. When active, this signal causes
scanning to begin as if the scanner's trigger was depressed. In the
event of decoding, the trigger signal must be deactivated for a
minimum of 50ms before another scan can be attempted.
