green).
4. Scan the Cradle code at the bottom of
your cradle to establish the connection
between your scanner and cradle.
5. To test your scanner, start a text
processing program like Notepad or Word.
Scan a bar code and see if the data can
be sent to your computer. If it’s
successful, you’ll hear a beep and the bar
code data shows in the program.
10
2.1.2 How to scan
AI-6801 emits a light bar when it is scanning.
This bar needs to cross the bar code
horizontally to decode it.
2.1.3 Work with the ASCII table
Sometimes, you might need to send some
control characters that can’t be typed or
enter characters without a keyboard. You can
do it by using ASCII codes.
In Appendix B, you'll find the ASCII table. Both
column and row numbers are hexadecimal.
The ASCII code of a character is the
combination of a column and a row number,
where the column comes first. For example,
the ASCII code of BEL is "07" and the number
sign (#) is "23." You can use the bar codes in
Appendix D to scan ASCII codes.
11
2.1.4 Search your scanner
Sometimes you might leave your scanner
somewhere and can’t find it. In this case,
press and hold the RESET button at the
bottom of your cradle, until you receive two
short beeps from your scanner, and you can
locate it by the beep sound.
2.2 Battery
AI-6801 contains a lithium-ion battery that is
partially charged at the factory. You might
want to charge it to full before your use it.
The battery life varies depending on usage.
2.2.1 Charge the battery
You can charge the battery by connecting the
USB cable to your computer, or by using a
power supply, which charges the battery
faster. When your scanner is fully charged,
your cradle’s LED turns to green.

3.1.1 USB HID key board
Keyboard layout You can use it to change your
keyboard layout, so your scanner can scan bar
codes of different languages. Remember, you
also need to change your input method.
Function key It maps function keys to ASCII
codes, so you can scan bar codes in place of the
function key input. For example, if you scan the
numeric bar code “1” and then “2,” your scanner
sends the specific character to your computer as
though you press F2. The code mapping range is
from 01 to 1F. For more information about ASCII
codes, see ASCII table in Appendix B.
Numeric key The keypad is located to the
rightmost of a keyboard. You need to select this
mode if your program only accepts numerals.
When selecting Alt+Keypad, your bar code data
will be sent as if you’re pressing “Alt+number.” It
is useful when your bar code contains a special
character, such as the Euro sign (€).
Caps lock It determines whether the state of
the Caps Lock key affects the output of bar
codes.
Inter-character delay It determines how fast
your computer receives each character and
displays it on the screen. If the speed is set too
fast and your computer system is slow, your
computer may lose data.
Block Delay It is a delay timer between barcode data
output. The feature is used to transfer continually with
27
shorter barcode data or multi-field scanning.

3.1.2 RS-232
Flow control
• None Your computer and scanner only
use TxD and RxD signals for
communication. No hardware or software
flow control is used.
• RTS/CTS It is hardware flow control. If
your scanner is ready to send bar code
data to your computer, it sends an RTS
signal, and waits to receive a CTS signal
from your computer. If your scanner
doesn’t receive a CTS after a timeout,
you’ll hear five warning beeps from it.
• Xon/Xoff It is software flow control.
When your computer is unable to receive
data, it sends an Xoff signal to notify your
scanner to stop sending data; it sends an
Xon signal when it’s ready.
• ACK/NAK Your scanner sends data after
it received an ACK signal from your
computer, and will resend data if it
receives an NAK signal.
Inter-character delay It determines how fast
your computer receives each character and
displays it on the screen. If the speed is set too
fast and your computer system is slow, your
computer may lose data.
Block Delay It is a delay timer between
barcode data output. The feature is used to
30
transfer continually with shorter barcode data or
multi-field scanning.
Response delay If you use RTS/CTS or
ACK/NAK for flow control, you can decide how
long your scanner waits your computer to
acknowledge the data transmission.

3.2 Scan properties
￭ Good-read off After you pull the trigger, your
scanner will keep emitting the light bar, until it
captures a good scan or no bar code is decoded
after the stand-by duration elapsed.
￭ Momentary When you pull the trigger, the
light bar is turned on; when you release the
trigger, the light bar is turned off.
￭ Alternate The trigger acts as a toggle. When
you pull the trigger, the light bar is turned on;
when you pull it again, the light bar is turned off.
￭ Timeout-off When you pull the trigger, the
light bar is turned on. If no bar code is decoded
after the stand-by duration elapsed, the light bar
is turned off.
￭ Continue It automatically detects and decodes
bar codes in your scanner’s field of view. You can
turn on this mode when you want to decode bar
codes without pulling the trigger. If no bar code
is decoded after the stand-by duration elapsed,
the light bar will flash. You can move your
scanner or pull the trigger to wake it up.
￭ Test only It is reserved for engineers to test.
￭ Auto-sensing Similar to Continue, it
automatically detects and decodes bar codes in
your scanner’s field of view. If no bar code is
decoded after the stand-by duration elapsed,
the light bar will be turned off. You can move
your scanner or pull the trigger to wake it up.
￭ Double confirm It determines how many times
the decoder needs to confirm a bar code.
33
￭ Double read timeout It determines the
duration of Double confirm. For example, if you
set 5 times in Double confirm and set 10
milliseconds in Double read timeout, the
decoder will decode a bar code 5 times in 10
milliseconds. You need to turn on Double
confirm to use this feature.
￭ Supplement check counter The decoder needs
to capture the supplemental bar code within the
number of times the check counter specified, or
it determines there’s no supplement.

￭ Global min/max code length The min and max
code length defines the decoding length of all
bar codes. Note the following when you set their
length:
• If the length of a bar code is shorter than
the min or longer than the max, the bar
code won’t be decoded.
• If the min is equal to the max, the decoding
length is fixed.
• Some bar codes have their own decoding
length. If you set the individual min or max
decoding length for a bar code, your scanner
will go by the individual setting.
￭ Inverted image scan When you turn on this
feature, you can scan both regular and inverted
bar codes.
￭ Position indication When you turn on this
feature, the light bar keeps flashing. This feature
determines how long the light bar flashes.
￭ ISBT Concatenation timeout when scanning
single ISBT barcode, scanner will wait 900ms to
output barcode because it is seeking appended
ISBT barcode until timeout.
￭ Configration Auto update Every time your cradle
connects to your scanner, Auto Update
automatically updates your scanner’s
configuration if it is different from your cradle’s.

3.4.3 String groups
￭ Insert G1/G2/G3/G4 character setting
You can insert up to two strings into a bar
code. Each string can contain up to 12
characters. First, you need to set a string
in a group, and then insert the group into
your bar code. There are four string
groups. You can decide which group you
want to use and where you want to insert
it. You can insert the same group two
times if you want.
Note if you want to insert G5-G10, use
Data Magic.
￭ Insert data group position It
determines the position that the string
group will be inserted into. Note that the
insertion position can't exceed the length
of a bar code, or the group will be
inserted at the end of the bar code. The
value “00” inserts the group at the
beginning of a bar code, and “64” inserts
the group at the end of a bar code.
Example
To insert a string group into a bar code:
Step 1. Set a string in a group.
1. Scan the Program and Insert G1
characters setting bar codes.
2. In the ASCII code table, find the value of
the character you want to insert. For
44
example, if you want to insert the string
"AB," you'll find A→41, B→42.
3. On the last page, scan "41" and "42," and
then scan the Finish bar code.
4. Scan the Exit bar code.
Step 2. Insert the string into the specified
position.
1. Scan the Program and Insert data group
1 position bar codes.
2. On the last page, scan “03,” and then
scan the Finish bar code. This means
we’re inserting the string into the third
position of a bar code.
3. Scan the Exit bar code.
Step 3. Specify the bar code you want to
insert.
1. We’re using Code 128 as an example. In
the section Code 128, scan the Program
and Insert group number selection bar
codes.
2. On the last page, scan “01,” and then
scan the Finish bar code. This means
we’re inserting Group1 into a Code 128
bar code.
3. Scan the Exit bar code.

￭ Code ID transmission Code ID is an
identifier for a bar code. It has two modes:
Proprietary ID or AIM ID. You can choose
either of them. If you want to customize
the code ID using an ASCII code, you need
to choose Proprietary ID. AIM ID is fixed
since it is defined by the AIM organization.
￭ Code length transmission It shows the
length of a bar code at its beginning. For
example, if your bar code is "258963," the
result will be "06258963,” in which 06 is
the length.
￭ Code name transmission It shows the
name of a bar code type at the beginning
of a bar code. For example, if your bar
code type is Code 39, and your bar code is
“09741258R,” the result is “(Code-39)
09741258R.”
￭ Case conversion You can change the
capitalization of letters. For example, if you
choose Upper case, the string “12aBcDeF”
will be converted to “12ABCDEF.”

￭ Read Turn on or turn off the read function.
￭ Checksum transmission Append the check
digit to the end of a bar code.
￭ Data Magic Turn on or turn off Data Magic.
￭ Truncate leading/ending You can truncate
characters from the left (Truncate leading) or the
right (Truncate ending) of a bar code. Your
scanner beeps if the truncate length is longer
than the bar code, or the parts being truncated
by Truncate leading and Truncate ending are
overlapped. You can truncate up to 15
characters.
￭ Code ID setting Code ID is an identifier for a
bar code. It has two modes: Proprietary ID or
AIM ID. If you want to customize the code ID
using an ASCII code, you need to choose
Proprietary ID. You must turn on Code ID
transmission to use Code ID. For further details,
see Section 3.4.4, ID, name and capitalization.

￭ Insertion group number selection
It allows you to insert up to two strings into a
bar code. First, you need to set a string in a
group, and then insert the group into your bar
code. There are four string groups. You can
insert the same group two times if you want. For
more information about how to set a string in a
group, see Section 3.4.3, String groups.
83
Example:
To insert Group 2, set the value as 02 or 20.
To insert Group 1 and 4, set the value as 14 or
41.
To insert Group 3 two times, set the value as 33.
Note Zero (0) means no group is inserted.
￭ Supplement digits If your bar code has a
supplemental bar code, you can use this feature
to decode it. The supplemental bar code can be
2 or 5 digits.

￭ Data Magic Turn on or turn off Data Magic.
￭ Max/Min code length The max and min code
length defines the decoding length of a bar code.
Note the following when you set it length:
• If the code length is shorter than the min or
longer than the max, the bar code won’t be
decoded.
• If the min is equal to the max, the decoding
length is fixed.
• If the max or min is set to zero (00), Global
min/max code length will take effect. For
example, if the min is set to zero, it will
apply Global min. code length.

￭ Read Turn on or turn off the read function.
￭ Checksum transmit/verify There are three
algorithms for you to calculate the check digit of
a MSI bar code: MOD 10, MOD 10/MOD 10,
MOD 11/MOD 10. For example, if you choose
MOD 11/MOD 10, the system uses MOD 11 to
calculate the check digit and append it to the bar
code. The new bar code with the MOD 11 check
digit will be calculated again using MOD 10, and
then the system appends the MOD 10 check
digit to the new bar code. The result of the bar
code format is:
<DATA><MOD 11 check digit><MOD 10 check
digit>

5 Troubleshooting
You might encounter some issues when you
scan bar codes. This chapter provides
information that helps you fix common
issues.
5.1 Scanner issues
My scanner doesn’t emit the aiming pattern.
￭ Did you charge your scanner?
￭ Did you turn off the aiming pattern?
￭ Your battery wears out. Replace the
battery and make sure the new battery is
charged.
￭ Your scanner is waiting your computer to
acknowledge data and doesn’t receive any
response. Unplug your cradle’s cable (USB
or RS-232) and connect it again.
￭ Check your USB cable and power supply
by connecting them to other compatible
devices and test if they work properly. If
not, replace them and charge your
scanner again.
141
5.2 Bar code issues
My scanner doesn’t read the bar code
properly.
￭ Reset your scanner.
￭ Check the quality of your bar codes.
Wrinkled, smudged, blurred or torn bar
codes won’t be read by your scanner.
￭ The reading window of your scanner may
be dirty and block the field of view. Clean
the reading window.
The data isn’t sent to my computer.
￭ Did you establish the connection between
your scanner and cradle?
￭ Did your scanner connect to other
Bluetooth device?
￭ Make sure the USB cable is tightly plugged
into your cradle and computer.
￭ Your scanner is connecting to another
cradle. Break their connection and
connect your scanner to your cradle.
My scanner doesn’t decode the bar code,
but the bar code type is supported.
￭ Did you turn on Read for the bar code
type?
￭ The density of your bar code may be too
high for your scanner to decode.
