green). If automatic re-connection fails, verify that the Imager is within Bluetooth range and briefly press the
Restore Key on the Imager to reconnect.
4. The Scan LED starts flashing green indicating that the Imager is attempting to establish connection with a
mobile computer. The Scan LED turns off and the Imager emits one string of low/high beeps indicating that the
Imager is connected and ready for scanning.
Remove Bluetooth Connection
Remove Bluetooth connection to allow the Imager to connect to another mobile computer or to enable the a mobile
computer to accept the connection from another Imager.
To remove Bluetooth connection:
1. Scan an un-pairing bar code for disconnecting the Imager from the mobile computer.
Figure 13 Un-pairing Bar Code
2. The Imager emits one string of high/low beeps indicating that Bluetooth communication with the mobile
computer is disconnected.
Pairing Bar Code Format
In order to pair the Imager with a mobile computer over Bluetooth, a pairing bar code must be created. You can use
the Display_BD_Address application on the mobile computer, or create and print a pairing bar code label. To
create a pairing bar code label, the Bluetooth address of the mobile computer should be available (refer to the
mobile computer user guide).
Pairing bar codes are Code 128 or Data Matrix symbologies formatted as follows:
<Fun3>Bxxxxxxxxxxxx
Where xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.
NOTE:You can also reconnect by scanning a pairing bar code from the mobile computer screen or provided
label. When scanning, the Imager emits one string of high/low/high/low beeps.
NOTE:Removing Bluetooth connection is only required if the Imager is configured to auto-connect upon
power-up (permanent pairing is enabled) and has to be paired with a different mobile computer.

pairing bar code is:
Figure 14 Creating a Pairing Bluetooth Bar Code
Scan
The Imager uses digital camera technology to take an image of a bar code and software decoding algorithms are
executed to extract the bar code data from the image.
Scan Triggering Modes
Manual Triggering (Triggered models only)
1. Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.
2. Position the Imager approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code and press the Scan Trigger. Position the
cross hair laser beam to cover the bar code. The Imager takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and
stores it in memory for decoding.
3. One green flash of the LEDs is given and a high beep sounds to indicate that the bar code was properly
decoded.
Auto-triggering (Triggerless models only)
The Imager is provided with auto-triggering capability. In auto-triggering mode, both motion and proximity sensors
are used to trigger the Imager when the user intends to scan a bar code.
With auto-triggering activated, the Imager automatically scans when motion stops and a bar code is placed within
the depth of field of the Imager. The Imager scans the bar code and turns off to conserve power.
To scan a bar code in auto-triggering mode:
1. Position the Imager approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code.
2. Aim at the bar code.
3. The Imager takes a picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.
Paring Bar Code Content: <Fnc 3> ‘B’ + Bluetooth Address
NOTE:After battery is inserted or a corded adaptor is connected (on both sides), the first trigger press disables the
auto triggering mode.
NOTE:In some configurations proper decoding of a bar code is indicated by the software application running on
the mobile computer.

4. One green flash of the Scan LEDs and a high beep indicates that a bar code was properly decoded.
Aiming the Imager
The aiming pattern of the Imager is a cross hair laser beam with bright center dot (see Figure 15). The virtual
rectangle made by the cross hair reflects the field of view of the Imager. The aiming pattern is used to position the
bar code within the field of view.
Figure 15 Cross Hair Laser Beam
Enter the symbol in any orientation within the virtual rectangle made by the cross hair laser beam, making use of its
omnidirectional reading capability within the entire field of view.
Figure 16 Symbol Scan Orientation
The Imager can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered (see the top bar codes
on Figure 17). The bar codes marked with X in Figure 17, however, show bar code aiming that may result in no
decode.
When using the application on your mobile computer in “Pick List” mode, the Bright Center Dot can be positioned
anywhere on the symbol (see Figure 15).The top examples in Figure 17 show acceptable aiming options, while the
bottom examples can not be decoded.
NOTE:In some applications, proper detection of a bar code is indicated by a software application running on
the mobile computer.

Introduction
This chapter covers the following topics:
•Configuring the Imager
•Imager Motion and Proximity Configuration
•Debugging logger
•Firmware upgrade
Configuring the Imager
Introduction
The Imager is a modular product used in several hardware configurations. Such configurations may include corded
or cordless connection to a terminal / mobile computer with manual or automatic triggering.
The Imager is provided with a default software configuration set in the factory. This software configuration can be
optimized by the customer to meet their specific operational requirements. Therefore, before using the Imager, it is
essential that the Imager be properly configured to harness its extensive capabilities and gain maximum efficiency.
There are several ways to configure the Imager. The best way is to set the parameters for each application
allowing the required degrees of freedom. In some cases it is recommended to allow the user to select between the
various operational modes or use cases, each with its own set of parameters.
Zebra mobile computers using the EMDK may utilize the SCAN and/or RSM APIs to configure the operation of the
Imager. Zebra terminals that cannot use the EMDK, may configure some operations of the Imager by scanning
special configuration bar codes (see Miscellaneous Imager Options on page 70) as done with many of Zebra bar
code scanners.
A selection of most configured Imager parameters can be set with the Remote Scanner Management Sample
(RSMSample) application installed on all Zebra mobile computers supporting the Imager. Some of the Imager
parameters can also be set by the Control Panel application.
Once connected to a mobile computer, the application running on the mobile computer overrides the Imager
parameters previously set.

Control Panel Application
The Control Panel (CTLpanel) application can be used for configuring the Imager by changing its values. The
Control Panel application also enables one to retrieve and display the current setting of each value.
The Control Panel application together with the RSMsample application enable the user to configure the RS507.
Users with Mobile computer that do not have the Control Panel application installed can download the application
(CtlPanelWM.exe) and related documentation from the Support Central site at: http://www.zebra.com/support.
The following example describes how to read and configure new values of the Imager attributes.
To set new attribute values:
1. When using the WT4090, from the App Launcher screen, open the Utilities folder and start the Control Panel
application. When using a mobile computer with Windows Mobile, open the Application folder and start the
CtlPanelWM application.

Imager Motion and Proximity Configuration
The Imager proximity and motion feature enables auto-triggering of the Imager upon motion and/or proximity to an
object.
Motion and proximity detection can be enabled or disabled by the mobile computer application such as the Remote
Scanner Management (RSMSample) application of the mobile computer (see “RSMSample Application” on
page 8-50) or by scanning configuration bar codes (see <em_Emphasis>Miscellaneous Imager Options on page
9-70).
Operation Modes
The Imager can be configured to a single or continuous scan operation. In most use cases, a single scan mode is
the preferred operation. However, when scanning packages off a moving conveyer belt, it is sometimes
recommended to use the continuous scan mode (also referred to as 'Proximity Continuous' mode). Continuous
operation automatically results from the combined settings of motion and proximity (enabling or disabling motion
and/or proximity. See Table ). The Imager is provided with motion and proximity enabled by default.
To set new values to the motion and/or proximity attributes, refer to <em_Emphasis>Imager Attributes on page
8-53.

The MSP Console is a web-based interface to the wireless infrastructure monitoring and management tools
provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
AirBeam packages transferred to the FTP server, are downloaded to mobile computers connected to the wireless
network. The location of AirBeam packages are encoded in deployment bar codes. When an Imager captures a
deployment bar code, the AirBeam package(s) is downloaded from the FTP server to the Imager via the mobile
computer. A single deployment bar code can be captured by many Imagers.
The AirBeam package can be downloaded from the Support Central web site (Service Information on page 14).
The package includes:
•Mobile computer's RS507 enhancement .APF file
•Compatible RS507 Firmware .APF file.
The .APF file is used for management and distribution of the AirBeam package when the file is transferred from the
MSP to the Imager connected to the mobile computer over the Bluetooth.
To download the AirBeam package from the remote MSP server:
1. Install the RS507_xxx.APF file on the MSP server (refer to MSP server documentation).
2. Connect the mobile computer to the network via WLAN, or other cradle or cable connection (refer to you
mobile computer user guide).
3. From the App Launcher (or Windows Mobile Programs) screen of your mobile computer, start the Rapid
Deployment Client application.

4. The Rapid Deployment Client Application searches for Imagers. Press the Pair button displayed on the screen.
NOTE:For detailed information about the MSP Console, MSP Lite/MSP Enterprise servers and creating
deployment bar codes, refer to the MSP User Guide.
NOTE:Make sure that the enhancement APF file is deployed on the mobile computer before you start the
deployment.

Miscellaneous Imager
Options
Introduction
The Imager is intended to operate hand in hand with the mobile computer to which it is connected.
The mobile computer automatically loads configuration data whenever connected to an Imager (corded or
cordless). This operation does not require scanning configuration bar codes. Using configuration bar codes is only
available for a cordless Imager when decontrolled from the mobile computer.
It is recommended to use configuration bar codes only for setting parameters that cannot be configured by the
other mobile computer application.
The Imager ships with the settings shown in Table 9 on page 71 (also see <em_Emphasis>Appendix , Standard
Default Parameters for host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit the requirements,
programming is not necessary.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 72. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks indicate (*) default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 75. The Imager issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
NOTE:Imager parameters set by scanning configuration bar codes, persist in the Imagers memory.
NOTE:Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen (when using the imaging
engine). When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see
the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
