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. Users may check the Factory Defaults Table in Appendix for reference.
Throughout the manual, programming barcodes marked with asterisks (**) are factory default values.
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.

Factory Defaults
Scanning the following barcode can restore the scanner to the factory defaults.
User may need to reset scanner when:
1. Scanner is not properly configured so that it fails to decode barcodes;
2. User forget previous configuration and want to avoid its impact;
3. Functions that are rarely used have been enabled for the time being.
