The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in
this manual or via the ScanMaster software.
This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup
barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.
Configuration Mode
1.
Hold down the trigger about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond with a long beep
and its LED will come on-off shortly.
2. Have the scanner read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED
indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode.
3.
Have the scanner read more setup barcodes… Most of the setup barcodes are normal. The
scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone). For special setup barcodes, it requires
reading more than one setup barcode to complete the setting.
4. Have the scanner read the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its
LED indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode.
5.
The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the “Update” or “Abort” barcode. It will
respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.
Note: Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands for how to configure the 3656 stand
by having the scanner read 3656-related setup barcodes or using serial

Update
READ A SETUP BARCODE
CONFIGURE PARAMETERS
For most of the scanner parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values.
The scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone) when each parameter is set
successfully.
But for a number of special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the
setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep to indicate it needs to
read more setup barcodes. These special parameters may require reading one or more
setup barcodes, such as
Numeric barcodes, say, for keyboard type, inter-character delay, length qualification
Hexadecimal barcodes, say, for character strings as prefix, suffix, etc.
When “BT HID”, “USB HID” or Keyboard Wedge” is configured for interface, Key
Type and Key Status will then become applicable. You may decide whether or not to
change key status when “Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.
To complete the configuration of these special parameters, it requires reading the
“Validate” barcode, and the scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone) to
indicate the input values are validated.

CREATE ONE-SCAN SETUP BARCODES
The fact is most of the scanner parameters require only one read for setting new values.
To facilitate configuring the scanner, you may create One-Scan setup barcodes for use.
The requirements of a One-Scan setup barcode are:
a prefix of the “#@” characters
the six digits of command parameters
a suffix of the “#”character
For example, the scanner needs reading three setup barcodes for the command
parameter “109952” to take effect:
Enter Setup
List Page 3
Update
Now, it requires only one read:
One-Scan Setup Barcode
for 109952
Note: The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the One-Scan setup barcode
for (1) changing the interface or (2) setting memory mode, enable or disable. It
will respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.

1.1 BATTERY
The scanner is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/800 mAh Li-ion battery, and it takes
approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power adaptor). However,
the charging time may vary by working condition. For intensive data collection, you may
purchase a spare battery for non-stop operation.
Note: The scanner can be configured to save battery power. Refer to settings ofAuto
Power Off & Power-Saving”, “CCD Sensor Always Active, “Sniff Mode”, as well as
Low Battery Alarm”.
1.1.1 HOW TO OPERATE THE SCANNER
Turn on the scanner…
After installing the battery, hold down the trigger for about 2 seconds. The scanner will respond
with a long beep (high tone), and its LED will become solid red and go off quickly.
Turn off the scanner…
Remove the battery directly or let it turn off automatically in specific circumstances.

1.1.2 AUTO POWER OFF & POWER-SAVING
The scanner will stay active at power-on, which may be followed by a transition from full
CPU speed to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) to auto shutdown (Auto Power Off).
Power-Saving (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to stand by at full-speed
for 2 minutes before it enters low-speed mode. If this feature is not desired, set it to
0.
Auto Power Off (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to automatically shut
down after 10 minutes. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0.
Note: The Power-Saving setting will not take effect when a WPAN connection has been
established successfully, via BT HID or SPP.
Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully
1. The scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for the
following scenarios. Its CPU is running at full speed, and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio
0.5 s: 0.5 s).
(a) waiting for a connection request from the host (BT SPP Slave Mode)
(b) trying to connect to the host (BT HID or BT SPP Master Mode)
(c) trying to connect to 3656
2. If it fails to connect within 2 minutes, the scanner will become inactive to save power for the
remaining period of time (the specified value minus 2 minutes). Its CPU
is running at low
speed, and the LED is flashing red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).
Press the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay
active again.
3. If it fails to connect
again and again, and finally stays inactive until the specified time interval
for Auto Power Off has elapsed, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve
battery power.
Hold down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on.
Note: For scenarios (a) and (b) in step 1, on your computer you may need to search for
the scanner again.

Chapter 1
After establishing a WPAN connection successfully…
1. Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for a specified
period of time (2 minutes by default) for data transmission. Its CPU is running at full speed,
and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s).
2. If it is idle within 2 minutes
, the scanner will become inactive to save power for the remaining
period of time (the specified value minus 2 minutes). Its CPU is running at low speed, and the
LED is flashing red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).
Press the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will stay
active again.
For BT HID or SPP, there is no transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed. However,
when connecting with 3656, the scanner will go
through the transition in order to save
power.
3. If it is idle and finally stays inactive until the specified time interval for Auto Power Off has
elapsed, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power. You will
hear three short beeps, tone descending from high to low.
Hold down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on.
For BT HID, the scanner will resume connection with the host upon powering on again, as
long as the host application is running. You will hear three short beeps, tone ascending
from low to high
. If the scanner fails to resume connection, it will try every 5 seconds to
re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the “Reset Connection” barcode.
For BT SPP Slave Mode, the scanner must wait for the host to re-connect.
For BT SPP Master Mode, the scanner will resume connection with the host upon powering
on again, as long as the host application is running. You will hear three short beeps, tone
ascending from low to high. If the scanner fails to resume connection, it will try every 5
seconds to re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the “Reset
Connection” or “Restore System Defaults barcode.
With the use of 3656, the scanner will try re-
connecting to 3656 unless you turn off the
scanner.

1.2 MEMORY
The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN
connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.
1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER
By default, transmit buffer is enabled and for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon
reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep
(high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. However, the
host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 4
KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading
barcodes until the buffer is full.
When transmit buffer is enabled
If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with two short beeps, high-low tone, upon reading a
barcode successfully.
When transmit buffer is full, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED
indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range.

Select the level of reading security. For example,
If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid
and induce the "READER Event".
If "Two Times" is selected, it will take a total of three consecutive successful decoding
of the same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is
(that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
It is obvious that the more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and
thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between
reading security and decoding speed.

1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES
The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons.
The read redundancy (2~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a
UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy you select, the higher the
reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to
compromise between reading security and decoding speed.
Note: UPC/EAN Addon 2 and Addon 5 must be enabled individually for this setting to
take effect.

Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces.
But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films.
The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars.
You can configure the scanner to be able to read negative barcodes in the following

1.13 OPERATION MODE
For 1564, it supports different scan modes and signature capture in Decode Mode. Two
more operation modes are supported, which are Image Mode and Video Mode. Image
capture occurs in all modes of operation, and it requires software applications, such as
ScanMaster, to capture and download images to PC for decoding. Please refer to separate
manual for OCX programming support.
For Image Mode, Video Mode or signature capture in Decode Mode, the output interface
must be RS-232, USB Virtual COM or BT SPP. Both active and passive modes are
supported.
Active Mode: Application on the host will send command to instruct the scanner to
stay in a specific operation mode (Image Mode/Video Mode/Signature Capture) and
wait for image data. Press the trigger to capture and send an image.
Passive Mode: First, it requires the scanner to read the setup barcodes for the desired
operation signature Capture, Image Mode or Video Mode. Then, it will passively
wait for image data. Press the trigger to capture and send an image.
Signature Capture, Image Mode or Video Mode
Have the scanner read the setup barcodes in a separate but complete sequence. For example,
the following sequence will allow the scanner to enter Image Mode:
But the sequence below will allow you to configure settings only:
Refer to 1.13.2 Enter/Exit Image Mode.

3.1.2 CHANGE INTERFACE
If you want to change the interface cable of 3656, use one of the scanners to configure
the interface-related settings and it will pass the new settings to 3656, which will then
initialize and pass the settings to any other connected scanners.
1) Have the scanner read the “Set Connectionand “Serial Number” labels at the back of
3656.
2) Within two minutes, connect the interface cable between 3656 and your computer.
For USB Virtual COM, you may need to install its driver first!
3) The scanners will connect to your computer via 3656.
4) Have one scanner read the “Enter Setup” barcode to enter the configuration mode.
5) Have the scanner read the desired interface barcode and configure its related
settings
“Activate Keyboard Wedge & Select Keyboard Type”
“Activate RS-232”
“Activate USB HID & Select Keyboard Type”
“Activate USB Virtual COM”
6) Have the scanner read the “Update” barcode to exit the configuration mode.
7) After the scanner resumes connection with 3656, it will pass the interface-related
settings to 3656.
8) Upon receipt of the new settings, 3656 will initialize itself.
9) Updated with new settings, 3656 will pass the settings to other connected scanners.

“Activate BT SPP Master Mode”
3) Have the scanner read the barcodes related to WPAN settings, such as Device Name
Broadcasting, Authentication & PIN Code, etc.
4) Have the scanner read the “Update” barcode to exit the configuration mode.
5) The scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default)
waiting for a connection request from the host (SPP Slave Mode) or trying to connect
to the host (HID or SPP Master Mode). Its CPU is running at full speed, and the LED is
flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s).
Once connected, when getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short

By default, this feature is enabled, meaning the scanner will listen to the wireless network at a
reduced rate.
*Enable
Disable
Note: When connecting more than two scanners to a notebook computer or PDA with
Bluetooth® wireless technology, we suggest that you disable the power-saving
setting for a more reliable connection.
Device Name Broadcasting
The scanner can be configured to hide itself from other devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless
technology. Simply disable the device name broadcasting setting so that it won’t be discovered by
any other computer or PDA. However, broadcast
ing must be enabled for establishing an initial
connection with the scanner. For example, you can disable device name broadcasting after
successfully connecting the scanner to WorkStation1. Such connection will be maintained
automatically unless the scanne
r is removed from the paired device list (called unpairing) by
WorkStation1 or any changes made to authentication and the PIN code. If you want WorkStation2
to connect to the scanner, you will have to enable device name broadcasting first.
*Enable

Note: By default, device name broadcasting is enabled (which is required for initial
connection).

Authentication
When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side, you will have to
remove the scanner from the paired device list (called unpairing) and go through the whole process
to re-establish the connection.
The scanner allows up to 16 characters for a PIN code and provides two options for authentication:
Enable Authentication with Preset PIN
Have the scanner read the “Use preset PIN” barcode, and change the preset PIN if necessary.
This means you will have to enter exactly the same string for your computer or PDA to connect
to the scanner. If the PIN or passkey is incorrect, any connection attempt will be turned down by
the scanner. See step 8 in 3.2.3 Connect to Dongle.
1. Read the “Use preset PIN” barcode to enable authentication with a preset PIN.
Use Preset PIN
2. Read one of the barcodes to specify the PIN code, in decimal or hexadecimal.
By default, the PIN code is set to “0000”. Maximum 16 characters are allowed.
Enter PIN in
Hexadecimal …
Enter PIN in
Decimal…
3. Read the “Decimal Valuebarcode on page

for the desired digits or character string.
Read the “Clear PIN Code” barcode first if you need to re-input the PIN code.

4. Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting.
Enable Authentication with Random PIN or No Authentication
By default, it is set to “No PIN or use random PIN”, which depends on the setting of the target
device. (No PIN = No authentication.)

Note: When using BT HID, some device driver may not support pre-defined PIN code for
authentication. In this case, make sure you have the scanner set to “No PIN or use
random PIN” before pairing. While pairing, the host PIN code will be displayed on
the computer screen. Have the scanner read the setup barcode “Enter PIN Code in
Decimal” or “Enter PIN Code in Hexadecimal” to input the matching PIN code.
Refer to Disable Authentication or Use Random PIN.

3.2.3 CONNECT TO DONGLE
The procedure goes through associating devices for establishing a WPAN connection,
which is pretty much the same except for the software you are using. If your computer is
running Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Windows Vista® Service Pack 1
(SP1), you can use the software support that Windows® includes, or you can use the
driver that the device manufacturer provides. Now, let’s try using the software support
that Windows® XP Service Pack 2 includes.
BT HID Procedure
By default, BT HID is activated on the scanner, and the keyboard type is set to PCAT (US). When
BT HID is re-activated, you will have to select a keyboard type to complete this setting.
The procedure is the same as for BT SPP. Refer to steps 1~11 below.
BT SPP Procedure
1. Turn on the Bluetooth® function on your computer, running Windows XP SP2.
2. Double-click the Bluetooth® icon from the lower right of the taskbar.
Alternatively, you may go to Control Panel > Bluetooth Devices.
3. Click [Add] to search devices nearby.

4.
Turn on the scanner with correct WPAN settings, such as select BT SPP or BT HID,
broadcasting enabled, authentication enabled, and PIN code specified, etc. Select the check
box of [My device is set up and ready to be found] on your computer.
5. Click [Next].
6. Wait for a few seconds for the Wizard to search available devices nearby.
The scanner will appear with its “serial number” as the device name. You may double-check
the “Serial Number” label on the scanner to ensure connecting with the correct scanner.
Select the target scanner. If the target scanner does not appear on the list, click [Search
Again] to refresh the list. The scanner might enter Suspend Mode now, and you can press the
trigger to have it active again (=discoverable). It will then stay active for a specified period of
time (2 minutes by default) and wait for PC to establish a connection.

11. Now the target scanner will be listed as shown below.
You can have up to seven scanners connected to one computer at the same time.
Note: When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side,
or you want to change to use BT HID, it is suggested that you remove the scanner
from the paired device list (called unpairing) and go through the whole process to
re-establish the connection.
12. Run the desired application on your computer, such as HyperTerminal.exe if using BT SPP or
Notepad.exe if using BT HID.
The status of the scanner listed on the device list will be updated to “Connected”, indicating
the WPAN connection is established successfully via the outgoing COM port if using BT SPP.
Note: Even though the scanner is connected to the host with authentication disabled (=
no PIN code required), the host may still request a PIN code while the application
is opening COM port. Dynamic input of PIN code is supported so that you may
input a matching PIN code on the scanner. Refer to Disable Authentication or Use
Random PIN.
