Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The 7A Series Scanner, armed with the patented computerized image recognition system, bring
about a new era of 1D barcode scanning.
The 7A Series Scanner’s 1D barcode decoder chip ingeniously blends technology and advanced
chip design & manufacturing, which significantly simplifies application design and delivers superior
performance and solid reliability with low power consumption.
The 7A Series Scanner supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISSN, ISBN, Codabar, Code 128,
Code 93,ITF-6, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, GS1 Databar, Code 39, Code 11,
MSI-Plessey, Plessey.

About This Guide
This guide provides programming instructions for the 7A Series Scanner. Users can configure the
scanner by scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The 7A Series Scanner has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use
without further configuration.
Barcode Scanning
Powered by imaging technology and patented technology, the 7A Series Scanner features fast scanning
and accurate decoding. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming beam projected by the
scanner over the barcode.

Barcode Programming
The 7A Series Scanner can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable
features/options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following
sections.

Chapter 2 Scan Mode
Manual Mode
Manual Mode (default): A trigger pull activates a decode session. The decode session continues until the
barcode is decoded or the trigger is released or the decode session timeout expires.
** Manual Mode
Decode Session Timeout: This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a
scan attempt. It is programmable in 1s increments from 1s to 255s. The default timeout is 15s. If the
parameter is set to 0, the decode session timeout is infinite.
Decode Session Timeout
Example: Set the decode session timeout to 5s
1. Scan the Enter Setup barcode.
2. Scan the Decode Session Timeout barcode.
3. Scan the numeric barcode “5”. (See the Digit Barcodes section in Appendix)
4. Scan the Save barcode. (See the Save/Cancel Barcodes section in Appendix)
5. Scan the Exit Setup barcode.
