Quick Start Guide
FIS-6300 Imager
P/N 83-736300 Rev A
Step 3 — Position Imager
• Position the Imager at a focal distance between 2” and 6”.
• Tip the Imager relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular)
reflection. The case parting line should be perpendicular to the plane of the
symbol by either pitching the symbol or the Imager as shown.
• Position the Imager in a place with as little ambient light as possible.
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results
symbols should be aligned with the FOV (field of view).
• In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their
movement (“ladder” orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring,
and will produce better reads.
• Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30° ; maximum pitch is ±30° .
Note: For instant setup and validation, the FIS-6300 can be hand-held or
placed on its side. For accuracy, however, a mounting arm adapter kit is
recommended.

Step 4 — Install ESP
(ESP stands for Easy Setup Program.)
Once your Imager is connected to a host computer with Windows™ operating
system (98 or above), you can use ESP (Easy Setup Program) for configuration
and control.
To install ESP from a CD:
• Insert your wenglor CD ROM (ZUB-FIS-GB) in your computer’s CD drive.
• Select the “Configuration Software” file, launch Setup.exe under “wenglor
ESP”, and follow the prompts.
To download ESP from the Web:
•Gotohttp://www.wenglor.de.
• Navigate through the following sequence: Download > Software > Barcode
Scanner
• Click the Download button and store the ESP.zip file to the location of your
choice on your hard drive.
• Extract the wenglor ESP WinZip files to a directory of your choice. Remember
where your ESP.exe file is stored on your hard drive!
• At the end of the install process, copy a shortcut ESP icon onto your desktop.
• Click the ESP icon to run the program.
Step 5 — Select Model
When you start ESP, this menu will appear:
• Select the FIS-6300 from the menu and click OK. If you do not want to
make this selection every time you start ESP, uncheck “Show This Window
at Startup”.
• Click Yes when this dialog appears:
Important: The Imager is in Continuous Read Mode by default. For best
connection results, be sure that no symbols are within the Imager’s field of
view while attempting to connect.
Note: If you need to select
another reader model later,
click the Switch Model button
near the top of the screen.

Step 6 — Autoconnect
Important: The Imager is in Continuous Read Mode by default. For best
results, be sure that no symbols are within the Imager’s field of view while
attempting to connect.
• Click Start when the Autoconnect dialog appears.
• If your communications port is not the default COM1, use the dropdown
menu to change your port.
When you are connected, you will see the green connection indicator in the
status bar at the bottom right of your screen:
• If the connection attempt fails, click the Autoconnect button, select a different
communications port, and try again.
• Once you have
chosen the correct
port, click Start to
connect.
Note: If your RS-232 host settings cannot
be changed to match the Imager’s settings,
check the Force Connect box.
Step 9 — Test Read Rate
This test will let you know the percent of good reads per images captured.
Testing by EZ Button
1. To start the read rate test,
hold down the
EZ button
about three seconds until
you hear
three short
beeps
.
While the symbol is
being decoded, the read
rate LEDs will indicate
the corresponding read
rate percentage on the
back of the unit.
2. To end the read rate
test, press the EZ button
and quickly release.
Testing by ESP
1. Click the Test button to start the read rate test and Stop to end it.
If your symbol has been successfully decoded, its data and related
features will be presented under “Symbol Information.” Also, while the
symbol is being decoded, the read rate LEDs will indicate the corre-
sponding read rate percentage on the back of the unit.
2. To end the test, click the Stop button.
Testing by Serial Command
You can also start a test with the <C> or <Cp> command and end it
with the <J> command.
20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%.
These LEDs represent the percentage
of good reads per images captured.
Step 7 — Locate the Symbol
Move the symbol or the Imager so that the blue
target pattern is centered over the symbol. At 2
to 3 inches, the pattern resembles an X. At 3 to
6 inches, the pattern resembles a V.
It is important for the whole symbol to fall within
the field of view (FOV) of the Imager. The field
of view is what appears in ESP’s Locate/Cali-
brate window.
Locate by EZ Button
If you are not connected to a host computer, the EZ button will allow you to
locate a symbol in the Imager’s FOV.
• Hold down the EZ button for about one second and release when you hear
one short beep. You will see the blue target pattern.
• Center the target pattern on the symbol.
Note: To end all EZ button functions, press the EZ button once and quickly
release.
Locate by ESP
In ESP’s EZ Mode, click the
Locate button to enable the target
pattern.
You will see the blue target pattern
projected from the front of the
Imager.
• Center the target pattern over
the symbol you wish to read.
• Click the Stop button to end the
Locate function.
Center on symbol
in field of view.
Target pattern shown as it would appear between 3 and 6 inches.
Step 10 — Configure the Imager
Using ESP
To make setup changes to the FIS-6300, click the App Mode button.
The following modes are accessible by clicking the buttons in the first row of
App Mode icons:
• Establish communications between ESP and the Imager by clicking the
Autoconnect button.
• Send or receive commands by clicking the Send/Recv button.
• Make changes to Camera options by clicking the Camera button.
• Access the Terminal window, where you can see symbol data and enter
serial commands, by clicking the Terminal button.
• Review status settings or make changes to operational commands by clicking
the Utilities button.
• Format data for output by clicking the Data Output Format button.
Click the Configuration button to display the second row of ESP icons.
From here you can make changes in the configuration trees that can be
accessed by clicking the buttons on the second row of icons in the ESP window.
For further details, see ESP Help in the pulldown Help menu.
Step 8 — Calibrate Settings
The Imager can be optimized by the EZ button,
ESP, or serial command. During calibration, the
Imager will flash its LEDs while determining the
best configuration for decoding symbol data.
Upon successful completion, a green LED pattern
will flash brightly and illuminate the symbol. If
unsuccessful, the Imager will emit 5 short beeps
and stop searching.
Calibrate by EZ Button
1. Hold down the EZ button for about two seconds and release when you
hear two short beeps.
2. The Imager will search through various camera and IP settings to
determine the best configuration for decoding symbol data.
Important: The object must be centered in the field of view for the calibration
process to be successful.
Note: To end all EZ button functions, press the EZ button once and quickly
release.
Calibrate by ESP
1. Click the Calibrate button in EZ Mode.
2. The Imager will search through various camera and IP settings to
determine the best configuration for decoding symbol data.
A successful calibration will display a green frame around the symbol, and
the following message will appear: “Uploading all reader parameters.” After
a moment the symbol’s data and related features will be presented under
the “Symbol Information” box below the image display window.
Calibrate by Serial Command
Send <@CAL> to the Imager to begin the calibration routine.
Step 11 — Make Menu Changes
