Update

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 [Power/Delete] key for 2 seconds to turn on the scanner. It will respond with a

long beep and its LED will come on-off.

2) Read the “Enter Setup” barcode. It will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will

become flashing red after reading the barcode.

3) Read more setup barcodes… Most of the setup barcodes are normal, and 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) 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.

Note: Refer to Appendix II Host Serial Commands for how to configure the 3610 dongle

by having the scanner read 3610-related setup barcodes or using serial

commands.

QUICK START

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. Refer to Create One-Scan Setup Barcodes.

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 “Bluetooth® HID” or “USB HID” is configured for interface, Key Type and Key

Status will then become applicable. Decide whether 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 the reading of three setup barcodes for the command

parameter “109952” to take effect:

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

 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: 1. The Power-Saving setting will still take effect once a connection has been

established successfully, via Bluetooth® HID or SPP. 2.

There will be a time delay to reactivate 2D scan engine when scanner comes back

from power off mode.

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 (Bluetooth® SPP Slave Mode)

(b) trying to connect to the host (Bluetooth® HID or Bluetooth® SPP Master Mode)

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] key 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 [Power/Delete] key for 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.

1662 L/1664 Barcode Scanner User Guide

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] key to wake up the scanner when it becomes inactive, and the scanner will

stay active again.

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. The three

short beeps will ring out, tone descending from high to low.

Hold down the [Power/Delete] key for 2 seconds to turn it on.

 For Bluetooth® HID, the scanner will resume connection with the host upon powering on

again, as long as the host application is running. The three short beeps will ring out, 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 the “Reset Connection” barcode has been

scanned.

 For Bluetooth® SPP Slave Mode, the scanner must wait for the host to re-connect.

 For Bluetooth® SPP Master Mode, the scanner will resume connection with the host upon

powering on again, as long as the host application is running. The three short beeps will

ring out, 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 the “Reset Connection” or “Restore

System Defaults” barcode has been scanned.

1.2 MEMORY

The scanned data can be sent to a host computer immediately via the WPAN connection

or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.

1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER

By default, the transmit buffer is enabled and ready 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. However,

the host computer may not receive the data immediately if the scanner is 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. You are advised to get back into 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. You are advised to get back into range.

Data” barcode below.

1662 L/1664 can send data via “Direct USB” interface once the computer has found the USB

connection. Refer to 1.13 Use Direct USB Cable. Because the time-out value is set to 0 by default,

connect the cable before having the scanner read the “Send Data” barcode. Otherwise, the scanner

will try to temporarily resume the previous WPAN connection with the host, if there is any.

During transmission of data collected in memory mode, if the transmission fails, the scanner will

flash red (On/Off ratio 0.2 s: 0.2 s) after responding with two short beeps (high-low tone) and go

back to previous working mode. Press trigger or power key to stop flashing.

1.10 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES

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 "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four 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 selected, the higher the reading security is, and

thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. It has to compromise between reading

security and decoding speed.

1.11 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 (0~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a

UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy selected, the higher the

reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes.

Note: UPC/EAN Addon 2 and Addon 5 must be enabled individually for this setting to

take effect.

Addon Security Level

(*0~30)

1) Read the barcode above to specify the read redundancy for UPC/EAN barcodes. (It is

set to 0 by default.)

2) Read the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 錯誤! 尚未定義書籤。. For example, read “1”

and “2” for the scanner to re-read the barcode for 12 times.

3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.

1.12 NEGATIVE BARCODES

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.

Configure the scanner to be able to read negative barcodes if required.
