NOTICE
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. It is possible that the Unitech PA966/
967 may not immediately power-on due to battery discharge as a result of storage.
In the above situation, plug the PA966/967 to the RS232 or USB cable, or place the unit into the
Unitech PA966/967 Cradle (with 12V/2AAC-DC adapter, part number 1010-601478), and recharge
the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery.
The backup battery will charge from external power or the main battery if the main battery still has
enough power to turn on. In the event the main battery is fully charged, refrain from using the PA966/
967 for 16 hours in order for the main battery to fully charge the backup battery.
Backing-up data via backup battery only (without the main battery installed) may take as long as 4
hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data loss due to backup battery failure, do not leave the PA966/
967 without the rechargeable battery pack installed or without connection toAC power for an ex-
tended period of time.

Using the Built-in Scanner
You must run software that can access the scanner
in order to operate and/or test it. This can be the
Scanner Settings tool (My Computer > Control
Panel > Scanner Settings), Scan2Key.exe (My
Computer > Windows > Scan2Key.exe; by default
a hidden file), or a custom application.
The PA966 has an integrated 1D or 2D scanner
which will read all major barcodes. Trigger keys
are located on the left and right sides of the
screen. When the scanner is active press either of
these to scan for barcode data or capture an
image (2D scanner only).
Left
Trigger
Right

Scan2Key
While Scan2Key is running data from barcodes will input as a keypad entry. To test, open the
WordPad text editor and note the cursor location. As you aim and trigger the scanner you will
hear a scan confirmation beep and see the data appear in WordPad.
Modifying the Scanner Settings
Sometimes the PA966’s default scanner settings are inappropriate for a
particular situation. In this case, the next several pages will guide you in
customizing you PA966’s scanner output.
In Control Panel, click Scanner Settings to run the settings utility.

PA966/967 User's Manual
Prefix
Double click on Prefix to setup a special string that will be output before every scan. This can be
any alphanumeric string or a special character (see Suffix below). For alphanumeric strings
simply type the characters into the text field. Special characters like Tab use brackets surround-
ing a letter to indicate what the prefix should be. For example a Tab would be <t> (see picture
for chart of special characters that appears on screen while entering prefix).
Key in the special character stated in the Set Data window.
For instance, enter “<r>” (no quotes) to include a carriage return, or
“<t>” (no quotes) to include a tab before and/or after the bar code
data. Enter text or numbers directly if you want the bar code preceded
and/or followed by specific numbers or text.
Tap OK when finished.
Suffix
Suffix is set up exactly like prefix, but follows immediately after the
scanned data. Please note that suffix comes before Terminator, which
is the very last character output (see Scanning Options below to set
Terminator).
Data Options
Data Options deals with the output from the scanner that applies to
the data of all scans - regardless of symbology - or even magnetic
stripe data. Data option settings are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Prefix
Suffix
Replace suffix with carriage return
Transmit function code
Symbology settings for 2D barcodes work the same as those for 1D.
Take note that some symbologies such as EAN have 1D and 2D
counterparts and settings for one will not effect the other.

Transmit Function Code
Some barcodes contain Function Codes which will cause the reader output a command like tab
or new line, rather than just data. Check this box to enable these codes.
Replace Suffix with Carriage Return
Check this box to quickly overwrite the terminator with a carriage return
If you have installed a proximity reader module into your PA966 you
can use this option to enable and disable the reader.
Proximity Reading Options
Scanning Options
Scanning options cover settings for the functionality of the reader such
as timing and accuracy. For most applications the default settings will
be appropriate, if you want to know more about these settings please
call our offices for an explanation

Imaging Options
Imaging options cover settings for the image capture features of the
2D scanner. Again default settings are appropriate for most applica-
tions and should you wish to know more call our offices.
Imager Idle Timeout
This setting controls how long after a scan the reader will go into “idle”
mode which is in between active and sleep in terms of power usage.
Return from idle mode is nearly instant.
Power Management Options
Power management options affect battery life and scanner perfor-
mance, the default settings are usually appropriate but if you require
greater battery life from your device this is one way to achieve it.
Timeout To Sleep
You can set this option to have the reader go into “sleep mode” which
uses less power after not being used for some time. There will be a
slight delay before the next scan as the reader “wakes up.”
Illumination Intensity
This setting controls how bright the light used to scan barcodes will
be. Lowering this value will decrease scanner performance (distance
and time) but increase battery life.
