5 Update Introduction CHARGING THE BATTERY VIA 3656 The battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package, you will need to charge the battery to full before using the scanner. Note: It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power adaptor). If the two pivot bolts are not tightened properly, charging error may occur. 1) Install the battery to the scanner. 2) Seat the scanner in the 3656 stand. 3) Connect the 3656 stand to your computer or notebook via the USB or RS-232 cable. If using the RS-232 cable, it is necessary to connect the power supply cord. 4) The LED for power indication on 3656 will become solid red. 5) The scanner LED will be flashing red during charging. When the charging is done, the LED will turn off. When charging error occurs, the LED will turn solid red. 6) The LED for communications on 3656 will first become solid blue while initializing. Refer to the table above for details on different stage of communications. Warning: It is recommended that the charging devices be operated at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal performance. The charging devices will not charge the battery when the temperature exceeds 40°C. The two pivot bolts need to be tightened, or charging error may occur.

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. Note: By default, device name broadcasting is enabled (which is required for initial connection). *Enable Disable *Enable Disable
80 Enter Setup 1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide Authentication For security concerns, it is suggested that you enable authentication and specify a unique PIN code, also known as the passkey used to pair two devices before establishing a WPA connection. 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” label, 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. 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. Use preset PIN *No PIN or use random PIN Use random PIN No PIN required
81 Update Chapter 3 Setting up a WPAN Connection Entering preset PIN code… 1. Read the “Use preset PIN” label to enable authentication with a preset PIN. 2. Read one of the labels to specify the PIN code, in decimal or hexadecimal. By default, the PIN code is set to “0000”. Maximum 16 characters are allowed. 3. Read the “Decimal Value” label on page 187 or the “Hexadecimal Value” label on page 188 for the desired digits or character string. Read the “Clear PIN Code” label first if you need to re-input the PIN code. 4. Read the “Validate” label to complete this setting.

If your computer is running Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Windows Vista® Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can use the generic software support that Windows® includes, or you can use the driver that the device manufacturer provides. Now, let’s try using the generic 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 fro the lower right of the taskbar. Alternatively, you may go to Control Panel > Bluetooth Devices. 3. Click [Add] to search devices nearby.
83 Update Chapter 3 Setting up a WPAN Connection 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].

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 2 minutes and wait for PC to establish a connection. 7.

For example, read “0065” for barcode length of 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” label on page 188 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” label on page 188 (“FF”) to complete the setting of each barcode. 6) Read the “Validate” label to end the editing of the barcode set. Edit Output Sequence
144 Enter Setup 1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 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 quickly (= Good Read). Warning: When you disable the Multi-Barcode Editor later, the scan mode remains unchanged. If Laser mode is not desired, proceed to select a scan mode best suits your application. *Ignore Output Sequence Enforce Output Sequence Apply Output Sequence
145 Update Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 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.

However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off. 1) Read the label below to remove the specified character. 2) Read the “Hexadecimal Value” label on page 188 for the desired character.
