Pairing Process:
1. Press the trigger to activate the scanner.
2. Trigger Scanner about 6 seconds (one long beep and
Blue LED fast flash) to disconnect the scanner from the
paired device to be ready for pairing another device.
3. Reading the setting barcode
Of SPP or HID. (HID is for Manufacture default)
CABLE Online Mode:
The scanner provides another way to transmit data
beside RF mode. Connecting Micro USB cable is to
switch from RF mode to Cable online mode and also in
battery charger.
Memory Mode:
1. Memory Mode setting: Switch RF mode to
Memory Mode
2. Data Upload setting: Transmitting barcode data in
Memory Mode
3. Clear All Saved Data setting: Erase all barcode data
saved in Memory mode
4. Data Upload & Clear All Data setting: Transmitting
barcode data in Memory Mode and Erase all barcode data
saved in Memory mode
5. Total Storage quantity: Check the amount of
memory storage
6. To Normal mode setting: Switching from
Memory mode to RF mode

For the first part of the codes (pages 3-12), it is enough to read
the code directly to set the reader.
Mode Selection
1) Warning! In SPP mode, you must set a longer sleep time
(60 Min, 2 Hours, Never Sleep), or alternatively you must set
the host side to reconnect the connection after bar code reader
returns from sleep mode.

Step Operation Examples
To add a Scanner ID:
Step 1. Scan the output format to enable scanner id output
if it's not enable.
Step 2. The length of Scanner ID is fixed to 3.
Step 3. Scan the Add Scanner ID symbol.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII
Conversion Chart, for the id you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming
Chart.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every id character.
e.g. Want to add "22 & Tab" as Scanner ID, Scan 'add
Scanner ID', '3','2','3','2','0','9'.
Want to add "A9 & space " as Scanner ID, Scan '
Scanner ID', '4', '1', '3', '9', '2', '0 '.

For the following part of the codes (pages 13-42), you must
first read the Start Configuration code in the page header,
then the configuration code(s) and finally the End
Configuration code in the page footer.

2.2 Character Installation
The preamble and postamble character: You can put 10
ASCII at most in front of the barcode data. When the
installation is “0”that means you don’t need to add the
first and last character. Please find the format as below:
Preamble Character
Barcode
Postamble Character
The process for adding the first and last character to the
barcode:
1. Scan the barcode of “Start Configuration”and “The
Preamble Character Installation”.
2. Check the ASCII table to get the ASCII code of the
first and last character.

Start Configuration((+SETF))
End Configuration((+ENDF))

3. Scan the barcode of ASCII in the Appendix.
4. Scan the “End Configuration”.
G1/G2 character Insertion: You can put 10 ASCII at most
in front of the barcode data. When the installation is “0”
that means you don’t need to add the first and last
character.
5. Scan the barcode of the “Start Configuration”and
“G1 Insert Character”.
6. Check the ASCII table to get the ASCII code of the
first and last character.
7. Scan the barcode of ASCII in the Appendix.
8. Scan the “End Configuration”.
9. Repeat the same process to the G2 insertion.
10. Scan the “End Configuration”.
The position of G1/G2 character insertion: To select a
character insert to the barcode. You can’t insert any
character while the installation is “0”
1. Scan the barcode of the “Start Configuration”and
“G1 character insertion position”
2. Check the ASCII table to get the corresponding
ASCII code of the insertion position.
3. Scan the “End Configuration”.
4. Repeat the same process to the G2 character
insertion position.
5. Scan the “End Configuration”.
Code Transmission: If your application needs to transmit
the code (barcode type ID), you have to set “ON”for this
feature and the format is ID + Barcode data.

2.3 Other Installation
Scanning Precision: You can set to scan once or twice
and then transfer the bar code data. The twice will
reduce the error reading.
Bar Reverse Output Installation: This feature can read the
highlight barcode.
