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 proce dure of co nfiguring 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 i ts LED i ndicator will
become flashing red after reading the barcode.
3) Read more setup barcodes… Most of t he setup barcodes are normal, and the scanner will
respond with two beeps (low-hi gh 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 automati cally upon reading the “Update ” or “Abort” barcode. It will
respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off.

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 requ ired to complete the
setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep t o indicate it needs to
read more setup barcodes. These special pa rameters 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 applica ble. Decide whether to ch ange key status when
“Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.
To complete the configuration of t hese 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.

The fact is most of the scanner pa rameters 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 need s the reading of three setu p barcodes for the command
parameter “109952” to take effect:

1.1.3 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: 1. The Power-Saving setting will still take effect once a con nection has been
established successfully, via Bluetooth® 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).

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 i s 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, i t will respond wi th two short beeps, hi gh-low tone, upon reading a
barcode successfully.
When transmit buffer i s full, the scanner will respond wi th one l ong beep (low tone) and i ts 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 i ts LED indicator
will become solid red and go off. You are advised to get back into range.

Note: The 10 KB transmit buffer on the scanner can hold as many as 640 scans based on
EAN-13 barcodes. Data will be clear ed out once the scanner is turned off or
running out of battery power!
1.2.2 MEMORY MODE
When the scanner is i n memory mode, it means any real-time connection established
with the host is disabled. 1663 scanner keeps 4MB flash memory for memory mode
operation, which can store over 240,000 scans based on EAN-13 barcodes.

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 "Two Times" is selected, it will take a total of three consecutive successful decoding
of the sam e barcode to make the readi ng valid. The higher the reading security is
(that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
It is obvious tha t the more redundancy selected, the higher the re ading security is, and
thus, the slower the reading speed become s. It has to compromise between reading
security and decoding speed.

The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons.
The read r edundancy (0~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a
UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy selected, the hi gher 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

3.1 CONNECTING VIA 3610
By default, the interface of 3610 is set to “U SB HID”. 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 5.4 or later is required. Please remove older versions!
3.1.1 CONNECT TO 3610
Connect any scanner to 3610 by reading the tw o labels at the back of 3610. 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 specif ied period of t ime (2
minutes by default) trying to connect to the 3610 while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off
ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once con nected, the scanner will respond with three beeps ( tone
ascending from low to high), and the LED flashes blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). When
out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high
to low).
Read the “Set Connection” barcode first, an d then the “Serial Number” barcode. If the
“Set Connection” barcode on 3610 is illegible, try this one —

3.2.2 CONFIGURE RELATED SETTINGS
Sniff Mode (Power-saving)
By default, this feature is enabl ed, meaning the scanner wi ll listen to the wi reless network at a
reduced rate.
*Enable
Disable
Note: When connecting more than two scanners to a notebo ok 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 i t won’t be discovered by
any other computer or PDA. However, broadcasting must be enabled for establishing an initial
connection with the scan ner. For exampl e, disable device name broadcas ting after su ccessfully
connecting the scanner to WorkStati on1. Such connection will be mai ntained automatically unless
the scanner is removed from the paired device list (called unpairing) by WorkStation1 or any
changes made to auth entication and PIN code. If you want WorkStati on2 to connect to the
scanner, you have to enable device name broadcasting first.
*Enable
Disable
Note: By default, device name broadcasting is en abled (which is requ ired for initial
connection).

Authentication
When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side, you will have t o
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
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 connecti on attempt will be turned down by the scanne r. 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 Value” barcode on page 219 or the “ Hexadecimal Value” barcode on
page 220 for the desired digits or character string.
Read the “Clear PIN Code” barcode first if you need to re-input the PIN code.
Clear 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.)

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 “Bluetooth® HID” or “USB HID” is configured for interface, Key Type and Key Status
will then become appl icable. You may decide w hether or not to apply Key Status
when “Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.

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 ar e
processed normally and individually.
Note: When it requires reading more barcodes to complet e 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
(= Good Read).
Upon completion of reading acceptable barcodes, the scanner will respond with

5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER
You can only specify 1 ch aracter, 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 con figured 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.
Remove Special
Character
1) Read the barcode above to remove the specified character.
2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 220 for the desired character string.
For example, read “3” and “0” for the scanner to remove the character “0”.
3) Read the “Validate” barcode to complete this setting.

EXAMPLE
Without using the sca nner to read the abov e setup barcodes for configuring the 3610
dongle, run HyperTerminal.exe on the host computer to send serial commands to 3610
via USB Virtual COM.
1) Connect 3610 to the USB port of PC.
2) The Communication LED will indicate when 3610 can acce pt serial commands after
initializing. Refer to the table below.
If the output interface is USB Virt ual COM, run H yperTerminal.exe on the host
computer. While the Communication LED on 3610 is purple (red with flashing blue),
type the serial command within 3 seconds.
If the output interface is USB HID, press the “Num Lock” or “Caps L ock” key via the
keyboard 5 times within 3 seconds while the Communication LED on 3610 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 w ith flashing blue). Then, run
HyperTerminal.exe on the host computer. While the Communication LED on 361 0 is
purple (red with flashing blue), type the serial command within 3 seconds. After
configuring via serial command s, the interface will reset to USB HID after
re-connecting 3610.
