Keyboard Emulation Connection
When configured for Keyboard Emulation input, the host accepts input
from the scanner as keystrokes. The Z-3070 Series Scanner can perform
Keyboard Emulation input using a keyboard interface cable and a male to
female connecting cable.
Keyboard Emulation Connection
1. Connect the Keyboard Emulation interface cable to the bottom of the
scanner, as described in Installing the interface Cable.
2. Connect the male end of the keyboard cable into the female end of
the interface cable.
3. Connect the female end of male-to-female connecting cable into the
male end of the interface cable.
4. Connect the male end of male-to-female connecting cable into the
keyboard port on the host
Wand Emulation Connection
To perform Wand Emulation, the scanner can be connected to a portable
data terminal, or a controller that collects the data as wand data, and
interprets it for the host.
1. Connect the Wand Emulation interface cable to the bottom of the
scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable into the COM port on the
PDT or controller.
3. Plug one end of the power supply cable into the power receptacle on
the interface cable. Plug the other end of the power supply cable into a

Introduction
This chapter covers some tips about scanning.
Scanning with the Z-3070
1. Ensure all connections are secure and power is on, the LED is
indicating in RED as standby position, and the symbol you want to
scan is within the scanning range.
2. Aim the scanner at the barcode. If your scanner works in trigger mode,
aim and press the trigger.
3. Ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol.
4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED indicates
GREEN.
Aiming
Do not hold the scanner directly over the barcode. Scanning light
reflecting directly back into the scanner from the barcode is known as
specular reflection which can make decoding difficult. The area where
specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”.
You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or backward and achieve a
successful decode. Simply practice quickly to find what tolerances to
work within.

and Z-3070/WA supports 2 scanning option.
Refer to Programming and Setting for the specific barcode programming
information. When power is on for the first time, Z-3070 Series Scanner
is working in default scanning mode. You may change it to the appropriate
mode.
