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

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.
1D ONE-SCAN BARCODE
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
1) For example, the scanner needs reading three setup barcodes for the command
parameter “109952” to take effect:
Enter Setup
List Page 3
Update
2) 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.

2D ONE-SCAN BARCODE
Users can also scan a single 2D barcode combining with a series of serial commands to
configure the scanner. For example, if you want to change the suffix character to ‘#’, you
will need to input the serial commands in sequence as follows (underlining the digits is to
make them more readable):

1.1.2 POWER ECONOMY
The scanner features “Power-Saving”, “Auto Power Off” and “Auto Power Off Ignoring
Scan Mode” giving consideration to the power issue that is generally critical for
Bluetooth-enabled devices. By the scanner’s support of power economy, its power
consumption may progress by the following transition:
1) running at full CPU speed at power-on
2) shifting to low CPU speed (Power-Saving)
3) finally shutting down automatically (Auto Power Off)
In the following content of this section, you will be guided through the configurations for
the scanner’s power economy.
1.1.2.1 POWER-SAVING
For the scanner to save power, you need to appoint the timing for the scanner to shift to
power-saving mode. Make the configuration that best suits your application while noting
the following points:
Power-Saving: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable.
By default, the scanner stands by at full-speed for 2 minutes after power-on and
before entering low-speed mode. If Power-Saving isn’t desired, set it to 0 to disable it.
Read the setup barcode in the following to achieve the setup.
Note: Power-Saving setting won’t take effect when the WPAN connection is established
successfully whether via BT HID or SPP.

Understanding the Barcode Scanner
Note: Power-Saving won’t take effect when one of the following conditions is met:
(1) the scanner has already established a BT HID/SPP connection,
(2) the scanner is in the configuration mode,
(3) the scan mode is set to Test Mode,
(4) the setting value of Power-Saving is greater than that of Auto Power Off.
1.1.2.2 AUTO POWER OFF
For the scanner to save power, further to setting up “Power-Saving” mode, you may also
need to enable “Auto Power Off”, which deals with a time for the scanner to automatically
power off after power-on. Make the configuration that best suits your application while
noting the following points:
Auto Power Off: 1~254 minutes configurable. 0= Disable.
1. By default, the scanner automatically shuts down 10 minutes after power-on.
2. If Auto Power Off isn’t desired, set the parameter to 0 to disable it.
3. When the scan mode is set to Test Mode, you need to enable “Auto Power Off
Ignoring Scan Mode” in addition to enabling “Auto Power Off”. See the following
section 1.1.2.3 Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode.
Note: When the scanner is set to any scan mode other than Test Mode, you can ignore
“Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode”.
Auto Power Off after
0~254 min. (*10)
1) Read the barcode above to enable the scanner to automatically turn off at a specified
time after power-on.
2) Assign the auto power off time by reading the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 267.
For example, read “1” and “5” for the scanner to automatically turn off after idleness
of 15 minutes.
3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.
Note: “Auto Power Off” will not take effect when the scanner is in the configuration
mode.
1.1.2.3 AUTO POWER OFF IGNORING SCAN MODE
This mode is intended only for Test Mode. To force a scanner that is set to Test Mode
to automatically power off to save power, you need the following settings:
1. Enable “Auto Power Off” and set a time for the scanner to automatically power off
after power-on. See the foregoing section 1.1.2.2 Auto Power Off
2. Enable “Auto Power Off Ignoring Scan Mode” by reading the barcode below:

configured in the preceding setup of “Auto Power Off”.
1.1.3 POWER ECONOMY VS. WPAN CONNECTION
Before the scanner can communicate with the host computer, Bluetooth connection (or
WPAN connection) needs to be established. The scanner’s power economy always
accommodates itself to the establishment of the WPAN connection.
The following describes how the scanner carries out power economy before and after the
establishment of the WPAN connection:
Before establishing a WPAN connection successfully…
1.
The scanner stays active for a specified period of time (2 minutes by default) for the following
scenarios. The CPU runs at full speed, and the LED blinks 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 the scanner fails to connect within 2 minutes, it becomes inactive to save power for the
remaining period of time (the specified “Auto Power Off” value minus 2 minutes). The CPU
starts to run at low speed, and the LED begins to blink red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).
Pull the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will become
active again.
3.
If it fails to connect again and again, and finally stays inactive until the specified Auto Power
Off time elapses, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power.
Pull down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on again.
Note: For scenarios (a) and (b) in step 1, you may need to search for the scanner again
on your computer.
After establishing a WPAN connection successfully…
1.
Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for a specified
26
Enter Setup
Chapter 1
Understanding the Barcode Scanner
period of time (2 minutes by default) for data transmission. The CPU runs at full speed, and
the LED blinks blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s).
2.
If the scanner stays idle for 2 minutes (default), it will then turn inactive to save power for the
remaining period of time (the specified “Auto Power Off” value minus 2 minutes). The CPU
runs at low speed, and the LED is blinking red (On/Off ratio 0.3 s: 2.5 s).
Pull the trigger to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, then the scanner will stay
active again.
3.
For BT HID or SPP, the scanner automatically shuts down after the configured “Auto Power
Off” time without the 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.
If the scanner first becomes idle and finally stays inactive until the specified Auto Power Off
time is up, the scanner will automatically turn off in order to conserve battery power. You will
hear three short beeps, tone descending from high to low.
Pull down the trigger for about 2 seconds to turn it on again.
For BT HID, the scanner resumes the 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 upon the resumption. If the scanner fails to resume the 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 waits for the host to re-connect.
With the use of 3656, the scanner tries to re-connect 3656 unless you turn off the
scanner.
For BT SPP Master Mode, the scanner resumes the 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 upon resumption. If the scanner fails to resume
the 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.

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 10
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.
When transmit buffer is disabled…
If the scanner is out of range, it 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.
*Enable

1.3 LED INDICATOR
The triple-color LED on top of the scanner is used to provide user feedback. For example,
the LED becomes solid red and goes off quickly upon powering on or running out of
transmit buffer. You may tell the difference by the beeps – you will hear a long beep of
high tone when powering on the scanner, and a long beep of low tone when the transmit
buffer becomes full.

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

3.1 CONNECTING VIA 3656
By default, the interface of 3656 is set to “USB HID”. Use the interface cable to connect
the scanner via 3656 to PC. You can have up to seven scanners connected to one
computer at the same time.
Note: If you are using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver from
the CD-ROM. Driver version 5.3 or later is required. Please remove older versions!
3.1.1 CONNECT TO 3656
You can connect any scanner to 3656 by having the scanner read the two labels at the
back of 3656. The scanner will respond with one beep upon reading each of the labels.
“Set Connection” label
“Serial Number” label
After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2
minutes by default) trying to connect to the 3656 stand while its LED is flashing blue
(On/Off ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps
(tone ascending from low to high), and the LED becomes flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02
s: 3 s). When getting out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone
descending from high to low).
Read the “Set Connection” label first, and then the “Serial Number” label. If the “Set
Connection” label on 3656 is illegible, try this one —
Set Connection
Note: The 3656 settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners that
are currently connected to 3656.
Users can also scan a single 2D barcode that combines the “Set Connection” and “Serial
Number” setup barcodes to connect to 3656. The example below is a 2D barcode
containing codes ‘#@CipherLab’, ‘88686471166254’ (Set Connection) and ‘BN1008213’
(Serial Number of 3656). Underlining the digits is to make them more readable.

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, broadcasting 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 scanner 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.

4.26 MACRO PDF
Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF barcodes into one file,
known as Macro PDF417 or Macro MicroPDF417.
Note: When printing barcodes, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each has a
unique identifier. Do not mix barcodes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if
they encode the same data. When you scan Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire
Macro PDF sequence without interruption!
4.26.1 TRANSMIT/DECODE MODE
Decide how to handle Macro PDF decoding.
Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete
Transmit all decoded data from an entire Macro PDF sequence only when the entire
sequence is scanned and decoded. If the decoded data exceeds the limit of 50
symbols, no transmission because the entire sequence was not scanned!
Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order
Transmit data from each Macro PDF symbol as decoded, regardless of the sequence.
Passthrough All Symbols
Transmit and decode all Macro PDF symbols and perform no processing. In this mode,
the host is responsible for detecting and parsing the Macro PDF sequences.

DEFINING OUTPUT FORMAT
You may configure in which format the collected data will be output to the host computer.
Barcode read by the scanner will be processed in the following sequence –
1) Perform character substitution on the data scanned.
2) Add Code ID and Length Code to the front of the data:[Code ID][Length Code][Data]
3) Process the whole data in step 2 with user formats. Data is now divided into fields by
user specified rules. Refer to Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing.

5.2 CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION
Character substitution is performed on every occurrence of the first character specified. If
only one character is specified, every occurrence of that character in the barcode will be
taken away.
The first character will be replaced by the second character(s).
Up to three sets of character substitution can be configured.
If “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 apply
Key Status when “Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.

1) Read the barcode above to enable character substitution by set.
For example, have the scanner read the “Set 1” barcode to configure the first set of
character substitution. The scanner will respond with one short beep, high tone, to
indicate more setup barcodes are required.
2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 268 for the desired character
substitution. For example:
KEY TYPE = NORMAL
Read “3”, “0”, “2”, and “D” to replace the character “0” with a dash “-”.
Read “3”, “0”, “2”, “D”, “3”, and “0” to replace the character “0” with a dash “-0”.

If you want to replace the character “0” with “a” (= “1C” on the scan code table):
1.
Read “3” and “0”.
2.
Read the “Scan Code” barcode.
3.
Read “1” and “C”.
KEY TYPE = NORMAL + KEY STATUS = SHIFT
If you want to replace the character “0” with “!” (= “Shift” + “1” on keyboard):
1.
Read “3” and “0”.
2.
Read the “Add Shift” barcode.
3.
Read “3” and “1”.
3) Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting. (The defined set or sets will be
applied to all symbologies by default.)

65 characters or read “0000” for any length.
Note: If not reading 0000 for any length, the 4-digit length must exclude prefix, suffix
(0x0d by default), length code, etc.
4) Matching Character setting – read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 268 for
the 1st character that must be found matching in the (first) barcode. For example,
read “4” and “1” for matching character “A” as the first character in the barcode or
read “00” for any character.
5) Read twice the “F” barcode on page 268 (“FF”) to complete the setting of each
barcode.
6) Read the “Validate” barcode to end the editing of the barcode set.
5.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES
By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied.
When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet
with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence
sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and
therefore, data will not be transmitted.
When “Apply Output Sequence” is enabled, only barcodes found meeting with the criteria
are counted for the concatenation. Those found not meeting with the criteria are
processed normally and individually.
Note: When it requires reading more barcodes to complete the “output sequence”
requirements, the scanner will respond with one short beep (low tone). After
reading an acceptable barcode, its LED indicator will become solid green and go off
quickly (= Good Read).
Upon completion of reading acceptable barcodes, the scanner will respond with
one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will become solid green and go off

5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER
You can only specify 1 character, but it will remove every matching character
encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met.
For example, if it is configured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or
more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for
barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off.

APPLYING FORMATS FOR DATA EDITING
The scanner allows advanced data editing by applying user-configured editing formats.
The whole processed data can be divided into fields by user-specified rules. These fields
together with the user-configurable additional fields comprise the data actually sent to

6.1 ACTIVATING EDITING FORMATS
6.1.1 ACTIVATE EDITING FORMATS
If you have already configured any editing format before, you may directly apply the
editing format. If not, you must start with configuring an editing format first, and then,
activate the editing format when it is desired in use.

6.1.2 EXCLUSIVE DATA EDITING
By default, only barcodes found meeting with the criteria are processed by the editing
formats. Those found not meeting with the criteria are processed normally.
When “Exclusive Data Editing” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must be
processed by the editing formats. If data is found excluded from all enabled editing
formats (= not meeting with the specified criteria), the scanner will not accept the
reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted.

Chapter 6
Applying Formats for Data Editing
6.2.1 SELECT FORMAT TO CONFIGURE
Start Programming Format
Select one editing format (Format 1~5) and the parameters pertaining to the editing format can
then be configured – applicable code type, data length, matching string & location, start position,
field adjustment, total number of fields, field settings (field-dividing rule), additional fields, and
field transmission sequence.
Up to five different formats can be specified.
Configure Format 1
Configure Format 2
Configure Format 3
Configure Format 4
Configure Format 5
Note: Before you complete the programming of an editing format, if you have the
scanner read any barcode for parameters other than those pertaining to the editing
format, it will automatically abort the programming process.
End Programming Format
After having configured all the desired parameters, you must have the scanner read the “End
Programming Format” barcode, which can be located at the bottom of every even page in this
chapter.

Three applicable conditions can be configured to check whether the data read by the
scanner can be processed by the particular editing format.
Note: Data editing cannot be performed unless the three conditions are all met.
6.3.1 APPLICABLE CODE TYPE
By default, barcodes of all the supported symbologies will be processed by any editing
format, if having been configured and enabled. For quick configuration, you may first
clear all, and then select the desired symbologies.

EXAMPLE
Without using the scanner to read the above setup barcodes for configuring the 3656
stand, you may run HyperTerminal.exe on the host computer to send serial commands to
3656 via RS-232 or USB.
1) Connect the interface cable, RS-232 or USB, between 3656 and your computer.
For USB Virtual COM, you may need to install its driver first!
2) Connect the power supply cord from 3656 to a proper power outlet.
The Communication LED will indicate when 3656 can accept serial commands after
initializing. Refer to the table below.
If the output interface is USB Virtual COM or RS-232, run HyperTerminal.exe on
your computer. While the Communication LED on 3656 is purple (red with flashing
blue), type the serial command within three seconds.
If the output interface is USB HID, press the “Num Lock” or “Caps Lock” key on
your keyboard 5 times within 3 seconds while the Communication LED on 3656 is
flashing red and blue. This will change the interface from USB HID to USB Virtual
COM and the Communication LED will become purple (red with flashing blue).
Then, run HyperTerminal.exe on your computer. While the Communication LED on
3656 is purple (red with flashing blue), type the serial command within three
seconds. After configuring via serial commands, the interface will be reset to USB
HID after re-connecting the power supply cord.
