USB Select to communicate either by USB OEM, USB COM, USB Keyboard in-terface or USB POS types by scanning the appropriate interface type barcodes avail-able in this manual. The default interface is USB-KBD for Wedge models (7230) andUSB-OEM for IBM models (7210).

UnpackingCheck carefully to ensure the imager and any accessories ordered are present and un-damaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Technical Support on

page 3. KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should bereturned in its original shipping container.

Setting Up the ImagerFollow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your imager up and com-municating with its host:

1. Install the Interface Cable

2. Configure Other Features(if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Install the Interface Cable

The imager kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cablefor your installation. If not, contact Technical Support.

1. Seat the cable assembly into the imager, aligning both the connector and the cable clip

with its opening.

2. Connect the imager to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB cable for

the interface type you ordered.

Getting Started


Programming

The imager is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard tothe interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfac-essection, you can select other options and customize your imager through use of theinstructions and programming barcodes available in the corresponding features sec-tion for your interface and also the Data Editingand Symbologieschapters of thismanual.

Using the Programming Barcodes

This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfig-ure your imager. Some programming barcode labels, like Resetting the Product Con-figuration to Defaults on page 7, require only the scan of that single label to enact thechange. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the imager

to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXITbarcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the imager is in ProgrammingMode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit ProgrammingMode and return the imager to normal operation.

Configure Other Features

If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory defaultsettings, the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you might require:

General Features General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper andLED indicators and other such universal settings.

Symbologies Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies).These settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, requirecheck digit, etc.

NOTE

There are some exceptions to the typical programmingsequence described above. Please read the descriptionand setting instructions carefully when configuring each

given programmable feature.

Interfaces

Configuring the InterfaceScan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate inter-face type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to thecorresponding chapter in this manual (also listed in Table 1) to configure any desired

settings and features associated with that interface.

Table 1. Available Interfaces

NOTE

Unlike some other programming features and options,interface selections require that you scan only one pro-

gramming barcode label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXITbarcode prior to scanning an interface selection bar-code.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the dis-

abled state when powered up. If additional scanner con-figuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger

and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will change toa state that allows programming with barcodes.

Double Read TimeoutTo prevent a double read of the same label, the Double Read Timeout sets the mini-mum time allowed between reads of labels of the same symbology and data. If theunit reads a label and sees the same label again within the Double Read Timeout, the

second read of the label will be ignored. Double Read Timeout does not apply to scanmodes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read.

Label Gone Timeout


Label Gone TimeoutThis feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader prepares

for a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 mil-liseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone Timeout does not apply toscan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read

Follow these instructions to set this feature:1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.

2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with

leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.

3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming

Mode.

4. Scan the barcode: SELECT LABEL GONE TIMEOUT SETTING.

5. Scan the appropriate three alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix E,Keypadrepresenting the duration which was determined in the steps above. You willhear a two-beep indication after the last character.

6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming

Mode.

This completes the procedure. See Table 2for some examples of how to set this fea-ture.

Scanning Features


Scanning Features

Scan Mode

Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:

Trigger Single When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the fol-

lowing occurs:- Scanning Active Timehas elapsed- a label has been read

- the trigger is released

This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger ispulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label isread, or the maximum Scanning Active Timehas elapsed.

Trigger Hold Multiple When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the productscans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Timehas elapsed. Reading alabel does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeoutprevents undesired multiplereads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activat-ed until Scanning Active Timehas elapsed or the trigger has been released andpulled again. Double Read Timeoutprevents undesired multiple reads of the samelabel while in this mode.

Flashing The reader flashes on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate iscontrolled by Flash On Timeand Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the imagerreads continuously. When Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.

Always On No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually

on. If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger SingleMode. DoubleRead Timeoutprevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in thismode.

Stand Mode No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on au-tomatically when an item is placed in readers field of view. If the trigger is pulled,the reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeoutprevents undesiredmultiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Object Sense This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a triggerpull is required to activate the decoder.
