Scanner Maintenance

The scanner is designed for long-term trouble-free operation and rarely requires

any maintenance. Only an occasional cleaning of the scanner window is necessary

in order to remove dirt and fingerprints.

Wipe the scan window with a soft lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to

avoid the scan window from being scratched and damaged. The scan window can

be cleaned while the scanner is running.

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with a 10-pin modular

connector. When the connector is properly seated, it is secured in the scanner by a

flexible retention tab. The cable is designed to be field replaceable. Replacement

cables can be obtained from your authorized distributor. To replace the cable, take

the following steps.

1. Make sure the power of both the host terminal and the scanner is powered off.

2. Disconnect the old scanner cable from the host terminal.

3. Press down the retention tab, and gently pull out the cable.

4. Insert the new interface cable into the bottom of the scanner until it clicks.

Then, plug the new cable into the host.

Troubleshooting

This section contains information about how to solve problems that you may

encounter when operating the scanner. If a trouble occurs, please refer to the

following diagnostic tips as a mean to solve the trouble. However, before referring

to the tips, make sure that the scanner is installed well. If the problem remains,

contact your dealer.

Problem

Diagnostic Tips

The scanner is on but cannot read

any barcode.

The scanner window is dirty. Clean the scanner

window as described in the Scanner

Maintenance section.

The presented barcode type is not enabled. Use

this guide to tell the scanner to accept that type

of barcode.

The host terminal has disabled the scanner.

Check the setup of host terminal.

Problem

Diagnostic Tips

The scanner cannot send the data to the POS

system. Make sure that the scanner is installed

well and your host POS system is ready to

receive data.

A barcode is read by the scanner

but not accepted by the POS

system.

The communication settings of the system port

and the scanner do not match. Adjust the settings

to make them match to each other.

The scanner is not installed well. Contact your

dealer for the proper installation. The software

running on the POS system does not support the

data format of the barcode label.

When a barcode stays close to the

scanner, the barcode cannot be read

automatically by the scanner.

Check whether or not you have enabled the

Manual Trigger mode. If you have enabled this

mode accidentally, please disable the Manual

Trigger mode by scanning the “Disable trigger”

barcode in the advanced user manual.

Programming Codes

Below are some suggestion you need to bear in mind while scanning labels:

1. The barcode labels shown in bold and black are default factory settings.

2. Please cover the unwanted codes for scanning the specific barcode required

for the programming to prevent confusion in code scanning.

3. Use the user manual downloaded from our global website for advanced

programming.

4. While scanning the setup barcode labels provided in the quick guide, you need

to pull the trigger to initiate the decoding process.

Trigger Mode

 Standard (Level): A trigger press activates decode processing. Decode

processing continues until the bar code decodes, or you release the

trigger.

 Presentation (Blink): The engine activates decode processing when it

detects a bar code in its field of view. After a period of non-use, the

LEDs turn off until the engine senses motion.

 Host: A host command issues the decode signal. The decoder interprets

an actual trigger pull as a Level triggering option.

 Auto Aim: The decoder projects the aiming pattern when the decoder

senses motion. A trigger press activates decode processing. After a

period of inactivity the aiming pattern shuts off.

 Auto Aim with Illumination: The decoder projects the aiming pattern

and internal illumination LEDs when the decoder senses motion. A

trigger pull activates decode processing. After 2 seconds of inactivity the

aiming pattern and internal illumination LEDs automatically shut off.

Illumination

Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the engine to turn on

illumination every image capture to aid decoding. Select Disable Decoding

Illumination to prevent the engine from using decoding illumination.

Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of

illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

Aiming

Scan one of the following barcodes to select when to project the aiming pattern

in hand-held mode:

 Enable Decode Aiming Pattern: This projects the aiming pattern during
