The RT350H supports all mainstream 1D and standard 2D barcode symbologies (e.g., PDF417, QR Code
M1/M2/Micro and Data Matrix) as well as GS1-DataBarTM(RSS) (Limited/Stacked/Expanded versions). It
can read barcodes on virtually any medium - paper, plastic card, mobile phones and LCD displays.
This guide provides programming instructions for the RT350H. Users can configure the RT350H by scanning
the programming barcodes included in this manual.
The RT350H has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without further
configuration. Users may check the in for reference. Throughout the
manual, asterisks (**) indicate factory default values.
Powered by area-imaging technology and RTscan new technology, the RT350H features fast scanning and
accurate decoding. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read with ease. When scanning a barcode,
simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by the RT350H over the barcode.
Scanning the barcode can enable the scanner to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan a

number of programming barcodes to configure your scanner. To exit the setup mode, scan the
barcode.
If the scanner has exited the setup mode, only some special programming barcodes, such as the
barcode and barcode, can be read.
Programming barcode data can be transmitted to the Host. Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or
disable the transmission of programming barcode data (i.e. the characters under programming barcode) to
the Host.
Restarting the scanner will automatically disable the transmission of programming barcode data to the Host.
Scanning the following barcode can restore the scanner to the factory defaults. See
for more information.
Use this feature with discretion.

Custom defaults make it possible to save the frequently-used settings on the scanner.
Scanning the barcode can save the current settings as custom defaults. Once
custom default settings are stored, they can be recovered at any time by scanning the
barcode.
Custom defaults are stored in the non-volatile memory. Restoring the scanner to the factory defaults will not
remove the custom defaults from the scanner.

Driver installation is required for each USB device distinguished from others by the Host in the process of
enumeration.
When you connect the scanner to the Host via a USB connection, you can enable the feature
by scanning the barcode below. Then scanners transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The
Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is required.

Due to the differences in keyboard layouts, some characters contained in barcode data may be unavailable
on the selected keyboard. As a result, the scanner fails to transmit the unknown characters.
Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of beep when an unknown character is
detected.
