Introduction
Z-6070 is the first dual-laser presentation scanner in the
world with numerous record-breaking key features. Its
pioneered application of dual laser diodes drastically
enhance scanning power by doubling up scan lines,
broadening scan angle and intensifying scan pattern across
scan field. With this state-of-art technology, Z-6070 is able to
deliver the most comprehensive 32-line scan pattern
empowering 2400 scans per second, In addition, Z-6070 is
equipped with Z-SCAN technology, which is an innovative
ASIC hardware decode technology to provide real-time
decode capability to effectively shorten customer transaction
time.
Z-6070’s broad scan field could effectively facilitate scanning
barcodes on products in all kinds of shapes. Moreover, it is
designed for both hands-free and handheld applications. To
scan large merchandise that cannot be placed on the counter,
sales clerks could easily pick up Z-6070 from its stand to
perform the product scan. While scanning multiple barcodes
on one object, sales clerks could switch it to single line scan
option simply by pressing one button. The adjustable stand
design grants users the flexibility to set the easiest angle of
scan. Furthermore, Z-6070 is programmed with multiple
beeper tones and barcode data edition function for different
applications.

Power
Link
interface
cable
Connect the external AC/DC power adaptor into
the power jack on the power link cable. And the
interface connector provides the communication
the scanner and host terminal

Power Connection
The interface cable can support direct power or external
power to scanner. If external power has been inserted to the
cable power jack, it will automatically switching off the direct
power from host to scanner.
If your host does not provide power to the scanner, you will
need an external power connection to the scanner:
1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the
scanner, as described in How to connect the
scanner.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the
host (refer to your host manual to locate for 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.
Note:
1. Although, the Z-6070 can use direct power from host
device, but if the Host (computer) doesn’t provide
sufficient current for scanner, sometimes it will cause
interference and affects the scanner or PC, this is also
the reason why a scanner could work more sufficiently
on a computer but not others.
2. The host system should be capable to supply a minimum
of 300mA of current @ 5VDC.
3. In order to obtain the best steady operation, ZEBEX
recommends using the external power supply provided
with the Z-6070 when connect to keyboard wedge or
USB host. 6

Verify the Scanning Operation
Before installing your Z-6070 scanner, please follow the
procedures below. This will lead to proceed for scanning
properly.
1. Connect the modular plug of the power link cable into the
back of the scanner.
2. Plug the DC plug of the power adaptor into the jack on
the power link cable.
3. Plug the AC end of the power adaptor into an AC outlet.
4. When the scanner powers up, LED lights in green and
the buzzer sound with 3-string-long-beep sound. When
the self-test is completed the LED status will return red.
5. Present the “test barcode” below to the scanner. If the
scanner is functioning properly, it will issue a short beep
and a green LED indicates a good read than remove the
“test barcode”
.
Note:
(1) If the scanner does not perform any or correct beep
sound, or without any LED indication when powers-up,
powers down the scanner and refer to Appendix B for
troubleshooting.
(2) If the initial interface of the scanner is in keyboard wedge,
and it only reads one barcode and remains with a green
LED indicating light, this is because the scanner is not
connected to a host terminal.

Template installation (if required)
The adjustable stand has non-skid rubber feet on the bottom
to prevent unnecessary slippery occurred, but for some
special application, it may need to be kept fixed permanently
on the counter top.
The base template can be mounted on a flat counter top.
1. Put the template at where you want to fix the stand.
2. Screw down to mount the template onto the counter.
(Use M4 or screws with header outer diameter not over
8.5mm are recommended.)
