Notice
Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scanner is able to
perform at the level for which it is designed.
1) All software, including firmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.
2) The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or
design.
3) The material in this manual is subject to change without notice.
4) The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise
from the use of this manual.
5) A standard kit contains: a handheld unit, a cradle, a USB cable, and a CD-ROM (containing software
and electrical manuals).
6) Do not throw or drop the scanner or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the
scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper
operation.
7) Use a blunt object to operate the stroke keys. Use of a sharp pointed object can damage stroke
keys and cause shorting of internal circuitry.
8) Do not remove the battery from the barcode scanner before you read the instructions carefully.
9) Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating
the scanner while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to avoid
conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it dries
completely before using the scanner.
10) If multi-clusters are working in the same area, it is strongly recommended that different radio
frequency channel numbers are applied to different clusters. While setting up, only the radio
frequency channel number of the first handheld unit of a single cluster is required to be set. When
the first handheld unit binds to the cradle, the cradle will automatically obtain the radio frequency
channel number of the handheld unit. The consecutive joined handheld units will automatically
obtain the radio frequency channel number of the cradle.
11) In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, when in multi-clusters working mode, the
physical space between two cradles is required to be at least 2 meters.
12) In order to obtain constantly good communication quality, it is recommended to place the cradle on a
higher location, generally more than 1 meter above the ground. If working outdoor, the higher
location the better.

3-5 Batch data mode
Disable- Do not batch data. The handheld unit attempts to transmit every scanned barcode. If the
transmission is failed, the barcode data is ignored.
Out-of-range batch－ The handheld unit starts storing barcode data when it loses its connection to a
remote device (for example, when a user holding the handheld unit walks out of range). Data
transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the cradle (for example, when a user
holding the handheld unit walks back into range).
Standard batch- The handheld unit starts storing barcode data after %%%EBM” (Enter Batch Mode)
is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning “%%%SBD” (Send Batch Data).
If you wish to output the total number of barcodes scanned when in Standard batch Mode, scan“%%%BDN”.
In Out-of-range batch or Standard batch modes, calculate the number of barcodes the handheld unit
can store as follows:
Number of storable barcodes = 524,288 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the barcode + 2).

3-6 Keyboard wedge interface for cradle
Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM
terminals.
Keyboard layout: The scanner supports different national keyboard layouts.
Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or
scanner, with the period between 60us to 100us.
Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occasions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port
would require a free time gap following the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt).
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key- The scanner will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key- The scanner will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’,
‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’ only).
Alt + keypad- The scanner will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad). Note
that the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with
different national keyboard layout.
Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates
keyboard timing and passes keyboard present status to the PC during power-on.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised
of three or above bytes.
Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data.
Caps Lock reversion: By setting enable, the status of Caps Lock key (i.e. being pressed ON or OFF) on
the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status.
Caps Lock override: If this function is enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the
state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state of
the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.
A guide of setting while the scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host
If some characters are missed or some additional characters are incorrectly displayed on the host,
set the Inter-byte delay (0208) to be “01” or greater value.
If some capital character (e.g. “A”) or compound-key-characters (e.g.“shift+”, “Ctrl＋”, “Alt+”)are
displayed incorrectly, set the Delay-after-compound-key to be “01” or greater value.
If some digits are incorrectly displayed as some symbol characters (e.g. “1” and “2” are displayed
incorrectly as “!” and “@”), set the Clock period (0203) to be greater value (e.g. 04, 05).

3-7 RS-232 interface for cradle
Flow control:
None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without any hardware or software
handshaking protocol.
RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal
first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication.
If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout duration, the scanner will
issue an error indication. By setting (Host idle: Low RTS) or (Host idle: High RTS), the scanner can
be set to match the Serial Host RTS line.
XON/XOFF-An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON
character.
ACK/NAK-After transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not
acknowledge) response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same
data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when
NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Inter-character delay: Refer to Inter-character delay of 3-6 Keyboard wedge for cradle.
Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the scanner when it waits for a
handshaking acknowledgment from the host.

Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The scanner will stop
scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration
elapsed.
Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to activate scanning and release
button to stop scanning. The scanner will stop scanning when there is a successful reading or no
code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Alternate continue-The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop
scanning.
Continue-The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is
pressed or duration is elapsed.
Timeout off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The scanner will stop
scanning when no code is successful decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Auto-detection- Good-read off – By setting Enable, the scanner will start operating if any nearby
object has been detected. The scanner will stop scanning when there is a successful reading or no
code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present
object must be removed to enable Auto-detection.
Auto-detection- Good-read on – By setting Enable, the scanner will start operating if any nearby
object has been detected. The scanner stops scanning when no code is successful decoded after the
Stand-by duration elapsed. Once the scanner stops scanning, the present object must be removed to
enable Auto-detection.
Auto-detection sensitivity: It is the sensitivity of scanner to ambient brightness change. Sensitivity is
expressed as a percentage value of ambient light change, in the range of 5% to 50%. The smaller the
percentage value, the higher the sensitivity, the easier the scanner will be triggered
Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the scan
operation should be interrupted for delay time or the focus of the scanner must be moved away from the
barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”,
then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to
confirm a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of
decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the
maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the
same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode
decoded.
Same barcode delay time for 2D symbol: If a 2D barcode has been scanned and output once
successfully, the scanner must output the same barcode data beyond delay time. When this feature is
set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Notes:
1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length.
3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13,
EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting
one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to 3-41 G1-G6 & C1-C2
& FN1 substitution string setting and 3-42 G1-G4 string position & Code ID position.
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.
All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and
66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and
spaces in different scale.
Character output restraint:
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters
only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric
characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
28
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This
function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can
store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay
elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the
scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after
stopping scanning.
Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character
from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and
Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters (e.g. domestic language), it
maybe because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is
different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one.
Complete data output before next decode attempt: This setting is active only when USB device type
is set as “HID keyboard” or “HID keyboard for Apple Mac”, refer to 3-8 USB interface for cradle. If it is
enabled, the imager will not start next decode attempt until previous data output is completed.

DPM format read: By setting Enable, the scanner can read 2D symbols in DPM (Direct Park Marking)
format. Some barcodes in DPM format are shown below.
Multiple symbols & structured append symbols read:
1) By setting Enable, the scanner allows to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner's
trigger. If the user pulls and holds the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique
symbols once, beeping for each success read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols
as long as the trigger is pulled.
2) By setting Enable, the scanner will output data only when all Structured Append symbols have been
decoded. The lower part of below figure shows an example of four Structured Append symbols, with
the same data as that in the upper symbol.
3) By setting Disable, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
