Getting Started
The PowerScan
®
7000 Linear Imager marks a new performance level for
handheld scanners. It delivers aggressive read rates and depths of field on
1D and stacked codes. This aggressiveness applies even in challenging
reading environments where low lighting conditions and poor quality
might make it difficult to read bar codes. You can rest assured your
investment will continue to supply years of use by reading any bar codes
you require, now or in the future.
Designed for todays demanding commercial and industrial environ-
ments, the scanner offers superior image quality, speed, durability, and
the ability to read poor quality bar codes. The unit is comfortable to
hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for the most demanding applica-
tions.
About This Manual
This Product Reference Guide (PRG) provides programming instruc-
tions for the scanner, plus product specifications and dimensions. For
installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information,
see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of other publications for
this product are downloadable free of charge from the PSC website listed
on the back cover of this manual.
The scanner is factory programmed for the most common terminal and
communications settings. If you need to change these settings, program-
ming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
Bold text and a yellow-highlighted background indicates the most com-
mon default setting for a feature/option.

Manual Conventions
The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of
key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the scanner:
Connecting the Scanner
Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the scanner to the ter-
minal, PC or other host device. The scanner kit you ordered to match
your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation.
The scanner cable connection is secured using the “clamshell” retainer
referenced in the enlarged area of
Figure 1. Fit and clamp the retainer
over the cable connector as shown in the illustration, then fully seat the
cable assembly into the scanner, aligning both the connector and the
retainer boss with their respective openings. Secure the captive screws.
Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instruc-
tions below, proceed to the
Interface Related Features section of this man-
ual and scan the bar code to select the correct interface type.
RS-232 Serial Connection —
Turn off power to the terminal/PC
and connect the scanner to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232
cable as shown in
Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power
Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power sup-
ply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket
on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard
power outlet.
NOTE
Notes contain information necessary for prop-
erly diagnosing, repairing and operating the
scanner.
CAUTION
The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions
that could damage equipment or property.

nal/PC using the correct USB cable for the interface type you ordered.

Wand Emulation Connection —
Connect the scanner to the appro-
priated port on the terminal/PC using the correct cable for the interface
type you ordered. Reference
Figure 2.
IBM Connection —
Connect the scanner to the IBM port on the ter-
minal/PC using the correct IBM cable. Reference
Figure 2.
Keyboard Wedge Connection —
The Keyboard Wedge cable has a
‘Y’ connection from the scanner. Connect the female to the male end
from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the
terminal/PC. Reference
Figure 2.
Programming
The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features
standard to the interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface
bar code from the
Interface Related Features section, you can select other
options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and
programming bar codes available in that section and also the
Data Editing
and
Symbologies chapters of this manual.
Resetting the Standard Product
Defaults
If you arent sure what programming options are in your scanner, or
youve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan
the Standard Product Default Settings bar code below. This will copy the
factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current
configuration.
The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the
menu commands (indicated by shaded blocks and bold text) on the fol-
lowing pages.
