OUT-OF-THE-BOX PLUG & PLAY SETTINGS
Each Smart-Scan
TM
scanner is pre-configured with the following
settings. Users can reconfigure and save as a new default (see page 3 .
USB Ke board Wedge Operation – Plug the USB cable into your PC and
begin entering data as you would with your keyboard. Windows, Mac,
and Linux OS are bundled with the drivers to support Smart-Scan
TM
.
Default Smart-Scan
TM
Operation Mode –
UID syntax validation, raw UID output, no error reporting.
Prefix & Suffix – An <Enter> key is added to each scan to advance the
PC cursor either to the next line, field, or spreadsheet cell.
UID ‘Non-printable’ Characters – Use of a Unicode font type in your
software application will allow display of ASCII (4, 29, 30 as ♦,↔,▲ .
Note: Programs such as Excel may misinterpret these characters as
macro commands depending on the keyboard NUM LOCK state .
Default Bar Code T pes Supported – Smart-Scan

performance is
enhanced by limiting scanner support to only those symbologies
commonly found in industrial settings. Refer to the Code Corp User
manual for changes.

SCANNER OVERVIEW
Bar Code scanners provide the same function as your PC’s keyboard. As
you insert the USB cable between a Smart-Scan
TM
scanner and PC, the
PC will recognize this hardware as a “2nd keyboard”. Smart-Scan
TM
works with existing keyboard drivers under MS Windows, Mac, Linux OS.
Use the same common sense as you do with a standard PC keyboard.
•Make sure your cursor is in the proper software window and data
field BEFORE you begin scanning (or typing .
•A keyboard <Shift> or <Caps Lock> “mode” will result in different
keystroke output. Similarly, you will need to know which Smart-
Scan
TM
application “mode” you are using prior to pulling the trigger
(Raw Output, Smart-UID, Smart-Lookup, Smart-Web, etc. .
THE SMART-SCAN
TM
DIFFERENCE
Smart-Scan
TM
makes standard bar code scanners more versatile, at
lower support costs, and with data filtering and analysis capabilities
never before possible. It is the only bar code scanner today that
provides out-of-the-box data syntax validation of Department of
Defense UID data matrix bar codes.

TM
OPERATION MODES
Smart-Scan
TM
currently supports four operation modes, Most users
will only use a single default mode for their daily work, but can quickly switch
modes by scanning one of the square barcodes from the following list:
Smart-UID operates only on data matrix codes, analyzing them for
compliance to the UID content requirements of MIL-STD-130. Valid
UID scans can be formatted via 4 different output ‘modes’ – plus toggled
options for Error Reporting and/or ATA Spec2000 conversions.
Raw UID
-
Actual
characters within
a
UID bar code
UID Error Reporting
ON/OFF Toggle
Formatted UID
–
Removes appended
data & resets to EID/PN/SN order
Concatenated UII
-
Formatted for
DOD Registry use
Spec 2000 S
upport
ON/OFF Toggle
Parsed UID
–
User defined output
(see uidscanner.com
The following beep sequences tell users what was scanned:
(1 =Valid UID; (2 =Valid P/N; (1+2 =Valid UID with ‘appended’ data.
(4 =Invalid Code – no output unless Error Reporting is used.
Raw Output should be used if you need to scan Data Matrix bar
codes that do NOT use the MIL-STD-130 syntax requirements
Smart-Lookup performs a standard “Data Cross-Reference” from
the scan value, using a simple user-defined text file database. Refer
to www.uidscanner.com for details.
Smart-Web performs an automated web browser search based
on an analysis of the scan data for length, type, etc. Currently
supported data scans include:
•Tracking numbers from FedEx or UPS
•Valid Federal National Stock Number or Part Number
•Valid Vendor Cage Code
Return to Factor ‘CodeViewer’ Mode : Although we believe you’ll
prefer Smart-Scan, users can scan this code to return to Code Corp’s
base “CodeViewer” functionality (refer to Code Manuals for use .

BASIC SETUP
Here are some quick configuration changes should the ‘as-shipped’
defaults not meet your needs. Smart-Scan
TM
technology offers users the
quickest and most flexible means of configuring prefix/suffix, and custom UID
parsing. Complete documentation is available at www.uidscanner.com
To Change Default Power-Up Operation Mode : Scan the desired Operation
Mode from the facing page. Then scan this barcode to set this
mode as the new default upon power-up. Current prefix,
suffix, and other relevant mode settings are also saved.
Prefix/Suffix : Commonly, users exclude prefix but add a suffix such as –
<None> <Enter> <Tab>
UID Parsing Options : Smart-UID offers users the ability to output up to 16
different formatted UID parameters: (see www.uidscanner.com
•Output String Formatting: <Enter>, <Tab>
•UID Data: Raw UID, Formatted UII
•UID Parameters: Format, Construct, IAC
•UID Data Segment Prefixes & Values: Vendor, PN, Sequence
•Time/Date ‘Stamp’
•Support for non-UID Part Number bar codes.
Other UID Parsing Examples –
S/N onl Raw <Tab> UII ‘Full’ Report
CR2500 Batch Upload: After gathering data via a cordless CR2500,
connect scanner & PC via a USB cable, position the cursor where
the data should be inserted, and scan this code to upload the data.
