Installation
The AS-8520 Wireless Imager is easy to install and use.
Please see the following figure showing the steps to perform
the installation.
* Note: Turn off the host computer before installation.
1. Connect the interface (I/F) cable to the cradle.
2. Connect the power cord to the cradle.
3. Route the I/F cable and power cord through the notch.
4. Connect the I/F cable to the host computer
communication port.
5. Connect the AC adapter to the wall outlet.
6. Place the imager in the cradle and verify the charge
LED is flashing. Charge the battery for at least 8 hours
before the first use.
7. To verify operation, please link the imager with cradle
first (Refer to “Wireless Connection” in page 5). Point
the imager at the barcode and pull the trigger. The
imager should emit a beep indicating that the barcode
has been scanned and transmitted to the cradle
successfully.
2
How To Scan
1. The imager must be pointed at slight angle to the
barcode so that the light reflected off the barcode can
be seen by the imager. Do not hold the imager
perpendicular to the barcode.
2. The scan line must cross the entire barcode. The
imager can not read the barcode data without seeing
the entire barcode.
3
Troubleshooting
If the imager can not operate properly, the following checks
should be performed:
1. The cradle uses an external power supply and the
external power supply has failed, the imager will not
operate. Change the power supply with a known good
power supply and reset the imager.
2. Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the
host computer. Consult your technical support
personnel or refer to your host system manual to verify
the proper connection for the imager.
4
3. Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the
cradle.
4. Check that the barcodes are of sufficient quality to be
recognized by the imager. Wrinkled, smudged, or torn
labels will cause the imager to not read at all. Scan a
known good label to check the imager’s read operation.
5. Ensure that the cradle’s interface type is compatible
with the host computer by consulting your host system
manual.
5
Wireless Connection
Linking the imager with the cradle
Follow these instructions to link the two devices:
1. Connect power to the cradle. The radio LED (marked
with a light symbol) will blink amber and the cradle will
beep.
2. To ensure the cradle is unlinked from any other imager,
check if the cradle send inquiry beep or not (see Inquiry
Beep Control in page 17).
3. Read the link label on the bottom of the cradle with the
imager. The imager will sound a good read beep and
the LED will flash amber.
4. Re-place the imager in the cradle to continue the
charge.
Once an imager is linked to a cradle, they will remain linked
until specific action is taken to unlink them (see Unlinking).
They will remain linked if the cradle is unplugged, if the
battery is removed from the imager or if the entire charge is
used up, and if the imager is taken out of range of the cradle.
Under normal operation, scanning of the link label will only be
required once in the life of the product.
6
Unlinking
There are three ways to unlink an imager from a cradle:
Force imager to disconnect and sleep
1. Scan the “Force imager to disconnect and sleep”
barcode – Reading the unlink barcode above while the
imager is in range of the cradle will break the link
between the two devices and allow another imager to
link to the cradle. It will also have the imager in Deep
Sleep Mode. If the barcode is read when the imager is
out of range of its linked cradle, the imager will unlink,
but the cradle will remain linked to the imager and will
not allow another imager to be linked to it. In this case,
you may perform the item 2 below to link another
imager.
2. Scan the Link Label and put on the original cradle –
If the cradle is linked with an imager and the original pair
was stopped by out of range of the cradle or out of
battery of the imager, scan the link label of the cradle
with a new imager and then put on the cradle, the cradle
will drop the original pair and establish a new link with
the new imager.
3. Scan the Link Label on an alternate cradle –
Scanning the link label on a cradle will drop the link
between the original pair and establish a link between
the imager and new cradle. If the new link is performed
within range of the old cradle, it is free to establish a link
to the next imager that reads its link label. If it is done
outside of the range of the old cradle, it retains its old
link and will not allow a new imager to link to it until a
new imager scan the link label and put on the cradle.

Battery Charging
The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable
battery. A full charged battery will provide up to 15,000 scans
over a 12 hours period. Actual charge life on the imager will
depend on the configuration of how the imager is configured
via the programmable feature in this manual; in particular,
Deep Sleep Mode settings can impact battery life.
When the imager is placed in the cradle, the battery will
automatically charge. While charging is taking place, the
charging LED (marked with a battery symbol) will blink green.
When the battery is fully charged, the charging LED will stay
on a solid green.
If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the
charging circuit or with a failure of the battery, the charging
LED will flash red. When this happens, the battery needs to
be replaced.
8
How to Change the Battery
In case the contained battery inside the imager needs to be
replaced, please follow the procedures below:
1. Loosen the screw at the
bottom of the imager.
2. Take off the battery
container out of the imager.
5. Use a new battery pack
and replace the used one.
3. Disconnect the battery
cable connector from the
handle board.
4. Remove the used battery
from the battery container.
9
Note: DO NOT touch the PCBA inside the imager when
replacing the battery. Improper operation may damage the
imager.
6. Place the new battery into
the battery container.
7. Connect the battery cable
connector to the handle
board.
8. Put the battery container
back to the imager handle.
9. Fasten the screw to the
imager.
10
Wireless Features
The AS-8520 Wireless model includes an imager and a
cradle. When the imager and cradle are linked together, the
imager will read and decode barcodes and transmit them via
a Wireless radio to the cradle. The cradle will then transmit
the barcode data to the host computer over the host cable.
The host interfaces available from the cradle are RS-232,
Keyboard wedge, and USB as a normal corded imager.
11
Auto Update
When this feature is enabled, an imager and its linked cradle
can automatically ensure they stay in sync with regard to
firmware and/or configuration. This is accomplished by the
linked imager and cradle comparing firmware version number
and configuration file check sum. If either is different, the
cradle will automatically update the imager with its
firmware/configuration.
If the units are linked, any changes made to the cradle’s
configuration through the scan utility software will
automatically be sent to the imager at the completion of the
programming session. By the same token, any changes
made to the linked imager’s configuration will be transmitted
to the cradle at the end of the programming session.
The following options are available for Auto Update:
Enable configuration and firmware auto update –
Allows both configuration and firmware updating
(Default).
Enable configuration auto update only – Allows
only configuration updating.

Keyboard Layout: The selecting of keyboard layout
supports many country languages other than USA keyboard
layout. First you need to confirm country language that you
desire. In DOS, using command “keyb” to select the
desirable keyboard layout or in WINDOWS entry “Control”
then pops “Keyboard” to select country at “language” item.
For details, please refer to your DOS or WINDOWS user’s
manual.
Keyboard Speed: By selecting, you can change output
speed of data transmission to match with host computer.
Generally, set 00 or 01 in working high speed. If some output
characters of barcode have been lost, you may need to set
05 or 06 to match your host keyboard speed.
Function Key: Set Enable, imager can output code as
pressing function-key in your application program while the
barcode datas contain ASCII value between 0116 to 1F16.
Refer to ASCII table.
Numeric Key: The Keypad has to be selected if your
application program is only keypad numeric code acceptable.
So, cradle will output code as press numeric keypad when it
read numeric digit. (The keypad is in the right side of
keyboard, and Num Lock control key is also on.) If
Alt+Keypad is selected, the data characters will be
transmitted as “Alt” + numbers. For example, when sending
character “A”, the actual sending will be “Alt”+65. It is also
useful when using non-English OS and keyboard layout.

Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard
status during power-on selftest. It is recommended to Enable
function if you are working without keyboard installation. It
simulates keyboard timing and pass keyboard present status
to the PC during power-on.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data
characters transmitted. If the transmission speed is too high,
the system may not be able to receive all characters. Adjust it
and try out suited delay to make system work properly.
Block transmission delay: It is a delay timer between
barcode data output. The feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data or multi-field scanning.

Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals
without regard for any hardware or software handshaking
protocol.
RTS/CTS-If the cradle wants to send the barcode data to
host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the
CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the
normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal
from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay)
duration, the imager will issue a 5 warning beeps.
Xon/Xoff- When the host computer is unable to accept data,
it sends a Xoff code to inform the cradle to suspend data
transmission, and Xon to continue.
ACK/NAK- When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the cradle
waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or (not acknowledge) from
the host computer after data transmission, and will resend in
response to a NAK.
Inter-character delay: It is delay time between data
character’s data output. It is also same as Inter-char. delay of
keyboard wedge.
Block transmission delay: It is a delay time between
barcode data output. It is also same as Block transmission
delay of keyboard wedge.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial
communication of the cradle to waiting for handshaking
acknowledgment from the host computer.

Scan
Scanning mode:
Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed to
activate scanning. The light source of imager stops scanning
when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded
after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button
to activate scanning and release button to stop scanning.
Alternate-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press
button to activate or stop scanning.
Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed to activate
scanning, and imager stops scanning when no code is
decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Continue-Imager always keeps reading, and it does not
matter when trigger button is pressed or duration is elapsed.
Test only-For test of scan performance only. It is improper to
be utilized to check the accuracy of transmitted data.
Double read timeout: The imager will require a several
times successful decoding to confirm the data when enabled.
The more confirming times required, the more inhibitive
miss-reading code will be shown. The Multi field scan Enable
function won’t be able to work if set Double confirm.
Double confirm: If the barcode has been scanned twice,
then only the first barcode will be accepted.
Supplement Check Counter: It will be more reliable to read
the barcode with extension (supplement) like UPCE/A or

Global min./max. code length: These are to define the min/
max readable code length of all symbologies. Code length
less than min. code length or more than max. code length will
not be read. In popular, you can set the same value for both
min. and max. reading length to force the fixed length
barcode decoded. The values of setting have no effect on
certain symbologies with fixed length. You can specify the
settings for individual barcode by the min/max code length
setting of each barcode.
Notes 1): Please set the min/max length if you have special
demand for individual barcode.
2): Include the Check sum digits if you want to set
Global min/max code length.

Format: The Full ASCII Code-39 is an enhanced set of
Code-39 that is the data with total of 128 characters to
represent Full ASCII code. It is combined one of the digits +,
%, $ and/ with one of the alpha digits (A to Z).
Append: This function allows several symbols to be
concatenates and be treat as one single data entry. The
imager will not transmit the embedded appending code
(space for Code-39). If Enable and other symbols were read
again with the appended code, then codes will be transmitted
without Code ID, Preamble and Prefix. When a symbol was
decoded without the appended code, the data will be
transmitted without Code ID and Prefix, but the Postamble
Suffix codes are appended. This function is used when the
first number of code 39 is a space. Example: □123456.
Start/end transmission: The start and end characters of
Code-39 are“★”. You can transmit all data digits including two
“★”.

String setting / Transmission
(Insert Group Characters)
Insert G1/G2/G3/G4 character setting: The imager
supports inserting two groups with each group 22 characters
into transmitted data of selected symbologies. The two
groups can be inserted into scanned data of the selected
symbologies or positioned at leading / ending of data. There
are total four groups for utilization.
Insert data group position: To define the position of a group
to insert into bar code data. Please notice that the inserting
position of a group must not exceed the code length; or the
insertion will be positioned at the ending of data.
Notice: Default value “00” indicates the group to be
positioned at the leading of data. “64” represents for
positioning the group at the ending of data.
Insert data group setting procedure:
i. Define the characters of groups for insertion.
ii. Setup the inserting position of each group in
scanned data.
iii. Select one or two groups to insert into specific
bar codes. Please refer to the setting pages of
each bar code.
Example: Barcode “1 2 3 4 5 6”.
Output- Barcode “1 2 A B 3 4 C D 5 6”.
Steps:
1) Scan Programming and Insert G1 characters setting
barcode.
2) Use the ASCII code table to find the value of A→41,B→ 42.
3) Scan 4, 1 and 4, 2 from the barcode on the fold out back
page.
4) Scan Finish from the barcode on the fold out page.
117
5) Repeat the same procedure in Insert G2 characters
setting.
6) Scan Exit barcode.
1) Insert data group 1-4 position. Please refer to the
specific barcode that you want to use.
2) Insert data group 1-4 position: The imager offers 4
positions to insert among the symbol. The position
default value is “00” to indicate no character insertion.
Beside, make sure insertion positions are not greater
than the symbols; otherwise the insertion data is not
effective.
