2-4 Introduction to installation Note: If any of the below operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and check the scanner for any improper connections. Go through all steps again. 2-4-1 Installation - RS-232 1. Connect the RS-232 interface cable to the bottom of the scanner. 2.
Figure 2-6 Find the release-hole. Insert a thin wire into the hole and pull out the cable gently. 2-5 Assembling the stand Note: The stand is an optional accessory. See the figure above, tighten the screws. Bend the neck to the desired position for scanning. Screw mounting: Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount-hole until the base of the stand is secured.
2-6 Scanning When the scanner is scanning, ensure the laser beam crosses every bar and space of the barcode. See Figure 2-7. √ × Figure 2-7 2-7 Auto-detection Note: Auto-detection and stand are optional accessories. To scan a barcode, present the bar code and ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol.

3 Parameter menus 3-1 Introduction This section describes the programmable parameters, provides barcodes for programming. The scanner is shipped with the factory default settings as described in this chapter. These factory-default- settings values are stored in flash memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down. Changes to the factory default values can be stored as custom defaults.
3-2 Example: configure scanner Note: The factory default settings are indicated with asterisks (*) in this manual. 1、 Single-scan setting Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting barcode according to the user’s demand. Example: Set Flow control to be none. Steps: Scan the following barcode. 2、...
Figure 4-4 3-3 RS232 interface Flow control: None- The communication only uses TXD and RXD signals without any hardware or software handshaking protocol. RTS/CTS- If the scanner requests 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.
Page 20
timeout, 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. ACK/NAK- If Decode data packet format is set to Packeted, after barcode data transmitted, the scanner expects either an ACK (acknowledge) or NAK (not acknowledge) response from the host.

Global Max./Min. code length: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of decoded barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the maximum length setting, 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.

Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”. 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.
