1. Introduction
This User’s Manual contains all the information needed to
operate and configure the 1045 Fixed D Barcode Scanner.
This manual is divided into two parts. The first part of this
manual describes the operation and programmable features of
the scanner. And the second part of this manual is used for
configuration, it contains the setup barcodes used to
configure the scanner.
The 1045 scanner is one of the most versatile and flexible
Fixed D Barcode Scanners in the world. All the features
and functions required for up to date barcode readings are
included. Owing to the compact design and extremely low
power consumption, this scanner provides for easy
installation and high product durability. The scanner can not
only fulfill the requirements needed today, but also can
suffice for long term usage. The main functions and features
provided on 1045 are summarized below.
• Barcode Readability : Most popular barcode symbologies
are supported.
• Support negative barcodes.
• Programmable Buzzer Volume and Beeping Tone
• Dual olor LED Indicator
• Multi-Interface Support : KBD Wedge, RS232
(Single/Dual Port), and Wand Emulation
• Programmable ode ID : ode ID can be individually
configured for each symbology.
• Programmable Length ode
• Programmable Prefix ode
• Programmable Postfix ode
• haracter Substitution
• Data Editing : Data can be reorganized according to user
programmable formats. Up to three data editing formats are
supported.

2. General Features
2.1 Buzzer
The buzzer of the 1045 beeps differently to indicate various
operating conditions.
• Power On Beep : The 1045 will issue a long beep to
indicate a successful power on.
• Good Read Beep : There are four volume levels and four
beeping tones (frequencies) that user can select from when
there is a good read. The available options are listed below.
Volume : Maximum/Loud/Medium/Minimum
Frequency : 8 / 4 / 2 / 1 kHz
• Error Beep : The 1045 will issue a long beep with a low
tone to indicate errors.
• Enter / Exit Configuration Beep : The 1045 will issue 6
beeps upon entering / exiting the configuration mode.
• Setup Beep : In configuration mode, the 1045 will
normally beep twice when a setup barcode is read. If the
particular setup parameter needs more than one read, the
1045 will only issue a short beep to indicate that there are
more setup barcodes needed to complete the current
parameter setting.
2.2 LED Indicator
There is a dual color LED indicator on the scanner. Normally
it is off, and it will turn red when there is a good read. The
indicator will be green when the scanner is in configuration
mode.
2.3 Scan Modes
The supported scan modes are described below.

3
• Continuous Mode : The scanner is always scanning. To
read the same barcode multiple times, the barcode label
must be removed from the D scanning window and
present again.
• est Mode : The scanner is always scanning. The 1045
will decode repeatedly even with the same barcode.
By default, the scan mode is ontinuous mode.
2.4 Inhibit ime
If the scanner mode is set to Continuous mode, the scanner
will prevent accidentally reading the same barcode twice by
using an Inhibit Time (Blocking Time). The barcode must be
taken away from the scanning line longer than the Inhibit
Time to allow second reading of the same barcode. This
Inhibit Time can be long or short.
2.5 Reading Redundancy
This parameter is used to specify the levels of reading
(decoding) security. If o Redundancy is selected, only one
successful decoding can make the reading valid. If Three
Times Redundancy is selected, it will take 3 successful
decodes to make the reading valid. It is obvious that the more
redundancy the user selects, the higher the reading security
and thus the slower the reading speed. The user must
compromise between decoding security and decoding speed if
the security feature is needed.
2.6 Supported Symbologies
Most of the popular barcode symbologies are supported. Each
symbology can be individually enabled or disabled. The 1045
will automatically discriminate and recognize all the
symbologies that are enabled. The supported barcode
symbologies are listed below.
• ode 39 (Standard / Full AS II)

4
• Italy Pharmacode
• French Pharmacode
• Industrial 25
• Interleave 25
• Matrix 25
• odabar (NW-7)
• UP A (with or without Addon)
• UP E (with or without Addon)
• EAN8 (with or without Addon)
• EAN13 (with or without Addon)
• ode 93
• ode 128
• EAN 128
• MSI
• Plessey
2.7 egative Barcodes
The 1045 can be configured to read negative barcodes.
Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars
darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they
are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The
spaces of the negative barcodes are printed with a color
darker than that of the bars.
