How to use programming codes
Read the “Open Programming Mode” to activate the settings. It could read not
only one programming mode to finish the setting.
Programming data can be sent to the host. Factory default is no sending
programming info to the host, sending programming expanded info or sending
programming all info these two settings are to send the settings to the host
Factory default is set as opening programming mode. Due to the very small
probability of data code to be same with the setup code, it is no need to close
programming mode after every setting, and keeping the programming mode open will
not influence the operation.
Note: “Expanded info” is the code which is not used in SETTING128. The setup
code (fixed is 7 bytes) as the following table, the “-” could be data. As long as it does
not meet the following SETTING128 are “expanded info”.

Default Setting
Factory default
All readers have a factory default setting. Scan the “Return to Factory Default”, all
the product attributes return to factory default.
In case you are most likely to use this code:
1、If the setting is wrong, the reader could not decode the bar code.
2、You forget the setting you did for the reader, and not want to be influenced by
the previous setting。
3、After finishing the setting with a less frequently used function
Return to Factory Default
Serial Mode
When the serial mode is non-visible character command and visible character
command, defaulted is non-visible character command.
Non-Visible Character Command Visible Character Command

3
Decode Normal and Inverse Data
After scan the decode normal and inverse data, decode the normal bar code first, if
it is not success, then decode the inverse bar code.
Decode the Normal Data Decode the Normal and Inverse Data
Reading Mode
Manual Mode
Default setting, the scanner starts reading the bar code in pressing the trigger and
stop reading the code after good read or release the trigger.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, the decoding time can be set from 0~255s, when the decoding
time is set 0, it means no limit time for reading code.
Decoding Time
For example: decoding time is 5s, setting is as below:
1.Scan “Decoding Time”
2.Scan the number “5”
3.Save the setting
Auto Reading Mode
After scan the auto reading mode, press the trigger button the scanner will read the
code and automatically read the next code after interval(set), the scanner will stop

4
reading code till the user press the trigger button again. When defaulted, it is not
allowed to repeat reading the same code.
Auto Reading
In auto reading mode, the decoding time can be set from 0~255s, when the
decoding time is set 0, it means no limit time for reading code.
Decoding Time
When scan the enable repeat the same code, the scanner will read one code and
automatically read the next code; and it will stop reading code till you press the trigger
button.
When scan the disable repeat the same code, the scanner will read one code and
automatically read the next code. If the next code is same as the previous one, the
scanner will be waiting status, and decode again till the decoding same code time is out.
When the code is not repeated, the scanner will read the code continuously and stop
reading code after press the trigger button.
Enable Repeat the Same Code Disable Repeat the Same Code
Decoding Same Code Time
The interval unit is 100ms, set from 0.1~25.5s. If interval is set as 0, it means no
limit time for decoding same code.
For example: the interval is set as 5000ms, the setting is as below:
1、Read “Enable Repeat the Same Code”

5
2、Read the number “5”“ 0”
3、Save the setting
Decoding Different Code Interval
The Interval unit is 100ms, set from 0~25.5s.
For example: the interval is set as 5000ms, the setting is as below:
1、Read “Decoding Different Code Interval”
2、Read the number“5”“ 0”
3、Save the setting
Auto-Sensor Mode
After the setting, the scanner will detect the environment without trigger. After
read one code, the scanner will be detection status and waiting for the next environment
change. In this mode, the scanner can read the code with pressing the trigger button.
The sensitivity of the scanner to the surrounding environment can be set.
Auto-Sensor Mode
In auto-sensor mode, the scanning time could be set, and the sensitive time could
be set as well.
Scanning Time Mode Sensitive Time Mode
The sensitive time unit is 100ms from 0~25.5s.
For example: the sensitive time is 5000ms, the setting is as below:
1、Read “Sensitive Time Mode”
2、Read the number“5”“ 0”
3、Save the setting

6
Sensitivity is the sense degree that the scanner detects the surrounding change
environment in decoding. Users can set the sensitive according to their own using
environment to improve the decode efficiency.
High Sensitivity Medium Sensitivity
Low Sensitivity Custom Sensitivity
In auto-sensor mode, the sensitivity is set from 0-255, the smaller value, the
higher sensitivity level.
For Example: set the sensitivity of 10 as below:
1、Read “Custom Sensitivity”
2、Read the number “1”“ 0”
3、Save setting
Command Trigger Reading Mode
In this mode, need to control the trigger to read the code.
Command Trigger Reading Mode
Decoding Status Prompt
If decode is not success, the scanner will output a prompt as F that means the
reading is not success, and output a prompt as S that means the reading is success.
Disable Decoding Status Prompt Enable Decoding Status Prompt

Temporary Mute Setting
The setting is temporary, when the scanner is reset or power off, the setting will
turn to be close mute automatically.
Enable Temporary Mute Close Mute
Temporary LED Setting
The setting is temporary, the LED of the scanner is turned to be on when reading
code after the scanner is reset or power off.

Reading LED On
Communications
Brief
The reader can used for the interfaces of RS232、USB VCOM、USB-KBW、
USB-POS、PS2-KBW. RS232 is usable when no connecting to other interfaces. The
scanner needed to be set with the related baud rate before using. Other interfaces could
be converted to each other with setting, defaulted is USB-KBW.
The communication order of RS232、USB VCOM and USB-POS is same.
Communications Settings
USB-KBW USB VCOM
USB-POS RS232
PS2-KBW
Serial Parameters Settings
Baud Rate Setting
When the scanner connect to the host with RS232, the two machine needed to be
set the same baud rate in order to communicate normally.

9
Baud Rate is the transmission bit(8 bits one byte) per second in RS232
communication. The reader should keep the same baud rate with the host to ensure
accurate data transmission. The reader support the baud rate unit is bit/s as below:
Baud Rate 9600 Baud Rate 1200
Baud Rate 2400 Baud Rate 4800
Baud Rate 14400 Baud Rate 19200
Baud Rate 38400 Baud Rate 57600
Baud Rate 115200

mode. When open the Wand Emulation Input Character Mode, input the data
corresponding ASCII character, the scanner will read the code with wand emulation as
below:
1、Keep pressing the “ALT”
2、Input the number keys in the digital keyboard in order according the character code.
3、Release “ALT”
