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 reading of 1D, 2D and postal barcodes
• Manual or automatic triggering
• Reads barcode reliably off cell phone screens
• Extremely low power consumption
• Two cabling options: USB or RS-232
• Captures barcodes on mobile phone, tablet, or computer screens

Adjusting Scan Angle
The device has a hinge shaft that allows tilt forwards and backwards in certain angle.
Gently holds the device with one hand and move the scan angle as needed; use a coin to
tighten the screws on both sides of the stand when necessary.
Scan angle
Do not let the scan LED light face directly to human eyes.

Connection
Interface Cable
The interface cable comes with different host-end connectors, and there are 2 standard
types of interface connection that this device supports:
1. HID USB interface
2. RS-232 interface
**Refer to Connector and Pin our section for pin-out configuration of each interface
available
Insert the cable to device
Follow as illustrated below to insert the RJ-45 connector side of cable into the device. A
clear “click” sound is heard if the cable is properly inserted.
Release the cable from device
Gently face down the device, and insert a flat tool at the bottom to release the lock then
gently pull the cable out.

USER’S MANUAL
Connecting to the Host
Follow the steps below to connect the interface cable to the host.
1. Connect the host-end of the interface cable to the appropriate connector on the
host system.
2. For those cases where external power is used, plug the external AC power adapter
into the jack on the interface cable.
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. Insert the modular plug of the Interface cable into the back of the scanner until a
firm click is heard.
2. If necessary, plug the power adapter into the jack on the interface cable.
3. 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.
4. 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 remain a red LED indicating light. This is
normal when the USB is not connected to a live host terminal. 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.
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 (green 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 (green 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.

USER’S MANUAL
How to Scan in Different Mode
Presentation Mode
In this mode, the front scan window is in automatic mode and reads barcodes as the
barcode approaches with the scanning field.
The adjustable stand allows to be tilted forwards and backwards in position when
scanning various sized objects.
Continue Scan Mode
In this 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 20 seconds, the
scanner goes to standby with scan LED light continues to flash.

2D Image Hands-Free Scanner 13
USER’S MANUAL
Manual Scan
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.

USER’S MANUAL
Sleep Mode
After the scanner has been inactive for a period of time, the scanner would enter the
sleep mode and the green LED would blink as indication.
After 30 seconds inaction, the scanner would enter the sleep mode from presentation
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 10cm (3.9 inch) from the scan window while in
condition with effectiveness of environment lights.
