5.1 Reading Skills
The engine has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that corresponds to the engine’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered
over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be
read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols Linear bar code 2D
Matrix symbol (on a page or on an object), hold the engine at an appropriate distance from the target, send a trigger command, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If
the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.
6 Programming the ZB-3062
ZB-3062 Series Scanner
To program the ZB-3062, you must scan a series of programming barcodes in the correct order. On the last page of this manual you will see a table of alphanumeric
barcodes, which are used to program the various options as peer your application needs.
To program each option, you must:
1. Scan the Program barcode on the parameter setting part.
2. Enter the option mode by scanning the option barcodes (also on the Parameter setting part).
3. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan these alphanumeric entries from the Program Chart. To confirm
above steps, you must scan the Save barcode.

RS-232 continued
RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then
perform the normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay) duration, the scanner halts
transmission until it detects another active CTS signal.
Xon/Xoff- When the host computer is unable to accept data, it sends a Xoff code to inform the scanner to suspend data transmission, and Xon to continue.
ACK/NAK- When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the scanner waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or (not acknowledge) from the host computer after data transmission, and
will resend in response to a NAK.
Response Delay
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A trigger command resets the time-out. When an RS-232 receiver is sleeping, a character
may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out.A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely
wake up. Change the RS-232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The
range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).

ZB-3062 to a standard PC RS-232 serial port with the use of cable Non-Inverted serial TTL communication is provided to allow direct connection to a TTL
UART port, or to an RS-232 driver integrated circuit.
Note that if the TTL Level 232 Non-Inverted bar code is scanned, the ZB-3062 will no longer communicate with a standard PC RS-232 port.TTL Level 232
Inverted with Polarity. Override allows direct communication from the ZB-3062 to a standard PC RS-232 serial port with the use of cable.
This setting also allows you to override the polarity externally.

7 System Control
7.1 Scan
Scanning output:
You can set the image size to a VGA resolution to accommodate older applications that require a smaller image size. When Image VGA is set to On, the
resultant image is 640x480 pixels. When Image VGA is Off, the image is 752x480 pixels.
Scanning mode:
Manual/Serial Trigger Mode
You can activate the imager either by providing an external hardware trigger, or using a serial trigger command. When in manual trigger mode, the imager
scans until a bar code is read, or until the hardware trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual
trigger mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds)
by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 0 (infinite, or no time-out).
Manual Trigger, Low Power (For RS-232 only)
The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set
with the Low Power Time-Out bar code below. There is a delay of up to one second in operation when the imager is first triggered, but there is no delay
when operating in low power time-out mode.
Low Power Time-Out Timer
Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in seconds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside
back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.
If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out
timer is reset.
Presentation Mode
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented
to the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the
room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Presentation LED Behavior after Decode
When an imager is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a bar code is decoded. If you wish to turn the
LEDs off immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off bar code, below. Default = LEDs On.
Presentation LED Time-Out
When using Presentation LED Behavior after Decode (above), you may want to set the time the LEDs remain off after a decode. To set the duration of this
delay, scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (0 - 9,999 ms) , then scanning Save. Once the unit has completed this time-out, it
will immediately resume scanning.
Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the imager's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the
Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least
sensitive. Default = 1.
Hands Free Time-Out
The Presentation Modes is referred to as “hands free” modes. If a trigger command is sent, or the hardware trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode,
the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) the imager reverts to the original hands free mode. Scan the Hands Free
Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 5,000 ms.
