USER’S MANUAL
Introduction
Lighting speed without compromising performance, the scanner features a powerful 2D
engine that easily decodes most 1D and 2D barcodes with intuitive aiming accuracy. It
also excels at reading barcodes on smart phone screens and barcodes that are poorly
printed. It is the perfect solution for medical industry, retail stores, smart phone
applications, and the banking industry.
• High speed and reliable performance on all common 1D and 2D codes
• Captures barcodes on mobile phone, tablet, or computer screens
• Highly flexible design for easy mounting

USER’S MANUAL
Connection
Power Connection
The scanner turns on when power is supplied, and turns off when power is removed.
There is no on/off switch on the scanner itself.
The scanner requires a minimum of 2W at 5VDC power. The interface cable that comes
with the scanner supports both direct power (where the scanner takes power from the
host machine) and external power (that’s what the supplied power adapter is for). A
sufficiently robust POS system can support a scanner successfully without external power;
a POS system with a barely adequate power supply may produce erratic performance
(either of the POS system itself, or of the scanner, or both) when a scanner is attached.
To ensure steady performance, the host system should be capable to supply a minimum
of 400mA of current @ 5VDC. Unless you are sure your POS system can handle such
loading, it is recommended that you use the qualified power adapter. When an external
adapter is connected, the scanner will automatically switch off the direct power from
host to scanner.
Use only an AC/DC power adapter approved for the scanner. Use of other
power supplies may cause damage to the scanner, and void the factory
warranty.

USER’S MANUAL
Follow the steps below when you need an external power connection to the scanner:
1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the scanner.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (refer to your host manual
to locate the correct port).
3. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the interface cable.
4. Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC outlet.

USER’S MANUAL
Scanner Operation
Please follow the procedure below to verify scanning operation.
1. If necessary, plug the power adapter into the jack on the interface cable.
2. Plug the AC end of the power adapter into an AC outlet, or plug the other end of
cable into host if power adapter is not needed. When power is supplied, the
scanner powers up, the speaker sounds beeps and the LED indicator glows.
3. Present a known-good test barcode to the scanner. The scanner should issue a
short beep and the LED should flash red momentarily.
1. If the scanner is connected to a USB for this test, it should read one
barcode, beep and then flash a blue LED indicating light. This is
normal when the USB is not connected to a live host terminal.
2. If the scanner does not produce any beeps, or produces the wrong
beeps, or the LED does not light up, remove the power connection
and refer to the Troubleshooting section.

USER’S MANUAL
Setting Up the Scanner
In certain cases no setup is required. The scanner is either pre-programmed to suit the
situation, or it automatically detects and is ready to go. In other cases the scanner must
be informed about what kind of system it is connected to. This can be done in a few
moments using the programming barcodes in the Programming Guide.
The programming section may be used to set a number of parameters on the scanner:
communication interface type (RS-232, USB), beep tone, scan mode, baud rate,
enable/disable decoding of numerous code types, and more advanced settings like set
prefix and suffix.
Individual parameters may be set at any time without affecting the other parameters.
Scan Test
1. With the scanner running (blue LED lights) and the host system on, try to scan
several known-good barcodes.
2. Check the results on the POS screen. If the scanner is reading okay, it is likely that
no further setup is necessary.
3. If the POS screen does not show the expected scans, go to the Programming
section below.

USER’S MANUAL
Programming the Scanner
1. When the scanner is powered on (blue LED lights), find the <Set> barcode in the
Programming Guide and present this barcode to the scanner. When the scanner
gives two beeps, it means the scanner is in programming mode.
2. Decide which parameters are required and find their barcodes in the Programming
Guide.
3. Cover unwanted codes with your hand and present the desired codes, one by one,
to the scanner; the scanner beeps once as it accepts each code.
4. When done, again present the <End> barcode to the scanner. The scanner beeps
thrice, it means the scanner is out of programming mode. The scanner has been
programmed.
5. Test again with known-good barcodes. If results are good, you are done setting up.
Otherwise, return to step 1 and try again.

Scan Mode of Scanner
Auto-Scan Mode
This scanner support auto-scan mode, the scan LED light stays active and continues to
decode until a same barcode is scanned. If no barcode is present in the scanning field for
10 seconds, the scanner goes to standby with scan LED light continues to flash.
Manual Scan Mode
The scanner can also be used as a handheld scanner by simply pressing the button.
1. Press down the trigger button and a light pattern would appear. It allows you to
aim at the barcode.
2. Press the button to decode the barcode. One beep indicates a good read.

Sleep Mode
After the scanner has been inactive for a period of time, the scanner would enter the
sleep mode.
After 5 minutes inaction, the scanner would enter the sleep mode from continue scan
mode. The time period of continue scan mode is programmable.
To wake up the scanner, present an object close to the scan window, or press the trigger
button.
The scanner includes a sensor that detects activity in front of the scan window.
The detecting distance is about 20cm (7.8 inch) from the scan window while in
condition with effectiveness of environment lights.

4. On the computer, check Device Manager to see if the computer successfully detects
the scanner as “Barcode Scanner USB-COM device.” (The COM port number would
vary depending on different hardware environment).
Trouble Shooting
This section contains information about how to solve problems that you may encounter
when operating the scanner. However, before referring to the tips, make sure that the
scanner is installed as instructed in this manual and that all cables are properly connected.
If the problem remains, please contact your dealer.
Problem Diagnostic Tips
The scanner is on but cannot
read barcodes.
The scanner window is dirty. Clean the scanner window as
described in the Maintenance section.
The presented barcode type is not enabled. Select the
barcode type in the Programming Guide.
The host disables the scanner.
The barcode type you presented to the scanner is not
supported.
