NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interface when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interface to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interface in which case the user will be
required to correct the interface at his own expense.
(All brand and trademark are belonged to their respective owner.
(Specifications are subject change without notice.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
condition: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interface, and (2) This device must
accept any interface received, including
Interface that ma
y
cause undesired o

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.

data characters can be truncated
when these values are set to non
zero. It will be read nothing else onl

beeps when the truncate value is
more than barcode data digits or the
value of Truncate Leading is overlap

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)
Send <ESC>BBAC B %01 B %00 B %OK B CEB B <CR>
︸ ︸ ︸ ︸ ︸
Beep 1 0 SET Good-read
Londness Level Beep Enable
(Call to the dealer if scanner dose not work properly.
