- Bluetooth Connection: The scanner supports Bluetooth HID, SPP, and BLE protocols, allowing connection to Android, iOS, and Windows devices. The Bluetooth transmission distance is up to 30m (98ft) in a barrier-free environment and 15m (49ft) through a wall.
2.3 Wearing the Scanner
For hands-free operation, install the scanner onto the included glove. The glove features a finger trigger button on the index finger for convenient scanning.
3. Operation
3.1 Scanning Buttons
The MJ-R80 offers flexible scanning options:
- Glove Trigger: When the scanner is installed on the glove, press the button on the index finger to initiate a scan.
- Scanner Button: If the scanner is removed from the glove, you can directly touch the button on the scanner unit to scan.
3.2 Working Modes
The scanner supports two primary working modes:
- Instant Upload Mode: In this mode, barcode data is uploaded immediately to the connected device (computer, POS machine, etc.) as soon as a barcode is scanned.
- Offline Storage Mode: This mode allows you to scan and store barcode data directly on the scanner's internal 16MB memory. It can store over 50,000 barcodes. Data can then be uploaded to your computer or POS machine at a later time.
4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Symcode MJ-R80 barcode scanner, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the scanner's exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials.
- Lens Care: Keep the scanning window clean and free of dust or smudges. Use a lens cleaning cloth or a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lens. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
- Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is charged to about 50-70% and store the device in a cool, dry place.
- Storage: Store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and corrosive materials.
- Cable Management: Handle the USB Type-C cable carefully. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling that could damage the cable or the port.
- Impact Protection: While the device is designed to withstand drops from 1.8 meters, avoid unnecessary impacts to prevent potential damage.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MJ-R80 scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Scanner not turning on:
- Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the scanner to a power source and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on.
- Check the power button for proper function.
- Scanner not connecting wirelessly (2.4GHz/Bluetooth):
- 2.4GHz: Ensure the wireless dongle is securely plugged into your device. Try plugging it into a different USB port.
- Bluetooth: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your host device (computer, phone, tablet). Ensure the scanner is in pairing mode and visible to your device. Re-pair the scanner if necessary.
- Check the distance between the scanner and the host device. Ensure it's within the specified transmission range (100m/328ft for 2.4GHz, 30m/98ft for Bluetooth in barrier-free environments).
- Minimize interference from other wireless devices.
- Scanner not reading barcodes:
- Ensure the barcode is clean, undamaged, and within the scanner's field of view.
- Check the lighting conditions. Avoid direct glare or insufficient light. The scanner has an ambient light resistance of up to 100,000 Lux.
- Verify that the correct barcode symbology is enabled on the scanner (refer to advanced configuration if available).
- Clean the scanning window as described in the Maintenance section.
- Scanned data not appearing on screen:
- Ensure the scanner is properly connected (wired or wireless) to your host device.
- If in Offline Storage Mode, remember that data needs to be manually uploaded. Switch to Instant Upload Mode if real-time data transfer is desired.
- Check if the cursor is active in the input field of your application.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
