The scanner supports three connection methods:

4.2.1 Bluetooth Connection

This method allows wireless connection to smartphones, tablets, and computers. The scanner supports Bluetooth HID (default), SPP, and BLE modes. Refer to the user manual for specific barcode settings to switch between modes if needed.

1. Turn on the scanner using the physical power switch.
2. Enable Bluetooth on your host device (phone, tablet, computer).
3. Search for available Bluetooth devices and select the Eyoyo scanner (e.g., "Eyoyo Scanner").
4. Pair the devices. A successful connection will usually be indicated by a beep or LED change on the scanner.

4.2.2 2.4G Wireless Connection

For wireless connection to computers without Bluetooth, use the provided 2.4G USB dongle.

1. Plug the 2.4G USB dongle into an available USB port on your computer.
2. Turn on the scanner.
3. Scan the specific '2.4G Wireless Connection' setup barcode found in the full user manual (not provided here, but typically a configuration barcode). The scanner will automatically connect to the dongle.

4.2.3 USB Wired Connection

Connect the scanner directly to your computer via the USB cable. This method also charges the scanner.

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the scanner and the other end to a USB port on your computer.
2. The scanner will automatically enter wired mode and begin charging.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Scanning Modes

The scanner offers three distinct scanning modes to suit different operational needs:

• Trigger Button Mode: Press the scan button to initiate a scan. This is the default and most common mode for individual item scanning.
• Continuous Scanning Mode: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam, scanning any barcode it detects without needing to press the button for each scan. This is ideal for high-volume scanning.
• Auto-Sense Scanning Mode: The scanner automatically detects a barcode within its field of view and scans it. The beam activates only when a barcode is present, conserving battery.

To switch between these modes, refer to the configuration barcodes in the comprehensive user manual.

5.2 Upload Modes

The scanner supports two data upload modes:

• Instant Upload Mode: Barcodes are transmitted to your connected device immediately after scanning. Ensure your device has an open text field or application ready to receive the data.
• Storage Mode: If the scanner is out of wireless range or you prefer to collect data offline, scan the 'Storage Mode' configuration barcode. All scanned barcodes will be stored in the scanner's built-in memory. To upload the stored data, reconnect the scanner and scan the 'Upload Data' configuration barcode. The data will then be transmitted to your open file.

5.3 Custom Functions

The Eyoyo EY-031 offers several customization options to tailor its functionality to your specific needs:

• Prefix/Suffix: Add custom characters before or after scanned barcode data.
• Delete Characters: Remove specific characters from scanned data.
• Keyboard Keys: Insert special keyboard keys (e.g., TAB, CR&LF, LF) into the scanning output, useful for navigating spreadsheets or forms.
• Barcode Type Enable/Disable: Activate or deactivate specific barcode symbologies to prevent unintended scans or improve scanning speed.
• Bluetooth Communication Mode: Switch between Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device, default), Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile), and Bluetooth BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) modes depending on your host device's requirements.
• Volume Control: Adjust the volume of the scanner's feedback sound or mute it entirely.
• Vibration Feedback: Enable vibration as an alternative to sound for successful scan feedback, useful in noisy environments or when silence is required.

Detailed instructions and configuration barcodes for these functions are available in the full user manual.

6. Charging and Battery

The scanner is equipped with a low-power consumption design, providing extended operational time.

• Working Time: Up to 10 hours of continuous scanning on a full charge.
• Charging Time: Approximately 2 hours to fully charge the scanner.
• Standby Time: Up to 720 hours (30 days) in standby mode.
• Charging: Connect the scanner to a power source using the provided USB cable. The LED indicator will show charging status.

The battery level indicator on the scanner provides a visual representation of the remaining charge (e.g., 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% electricity).

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scanner's exterior. For the scanning window, use a lint-free cloth and a mild cleaning solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the scanner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and recharge every few months.

8. Troubleshooting

• Scanner not connecting via Bluetooth/2.4G: Ensure the scanner is powered on and fully charged. Verify that the correct connection mode (Bluetooth or 2.4G) is selected by scanning the appropriate configuration barcode. For Bluetooth, ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and the scanner is discoverable. For 2.4G, ensure the dongle is properly inserted and the scanner is paired.
• Scanner not scanning barcodes: Check if the scanner is in the correct scanning mode (Trigger, Continuous, or Auto-Sense). Ensure the barcode is clean, undamaged, and within the scanner's optimal reading range. Verify that the barcode symbology is enabled in the scanner's settings.
• Scanned data appears incorrectly: Check the custom functions for prefixes, suffixes, or character deletions that might be altering the data. Ensure the correct keyboard layout is selected on your host device if using HID mode.
• Scanner not compatible with certain software: Note that the Eyoyo EY-031 is not compatible with Google Chrome OS or software that uses its own custom scanner protocols, such as Square POS or Amazon Fire applications.
• Short battery life: Ensure the scanner is fully charged. If using continuous scanning mode, consider switching to trigger or auto-sense mode to conserve battery.
• No sound/vibration feedback: Check the scanner's volume settings or ensure vibration feedback is enabled via the configuration barcodes.

9. User Tips

• For optimal performance, always ensure the scanner's battery is adequately charged before use.
• Familiarize yourself with the configuration barcodes in the full user manual to quickly adjust settings like scanning modes, prefixes, and suffixes for different tasks.
• When working in environments where noise is a concern, utilize the vibration feedback feature instead of sound.
• If you frequently move out of wireless range, leverage the 'Storage Mode' to collect data and upload it later, preventing data loss.
