3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Scanning Capabilities
The EY-041 offers superior decoding capability for both 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR codes. It can scan codes from both paper and digital screens.
3.2 Scanning Modes
The scanner features three distinct scanning modes to suit different operational needs:
- Auto-Sensing Scanning: The scanner automatically detects and scans barcodes when they are presented within its field of view. Ideal for hands-free operation.
- Continuous Scanning: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam, scanning any barcode it encounters without requiring a trigger press. Useful for high-volume scanning.
- Manual Trigger: Press the trigger button to activate the scan beam and read a barcode. This mode provides precise control over scanning.
3.3 Data Upload Modes
The scanner supports two data upload modes:
- Instant Upload: Scanned data is immediately transmitted to the connected device.
- Storage Mode: Scanned data is stored in the scanner's internal memory and can be uploaded later when connected to a host device.
3.4 Customized Settings
The scanner allows for customization of certain features:
- Add Prefix/Suffix: Configure the scanner to add specific characters before or after the scanned barcode data. This is useful for data formatting.
- Sound and Vibration Settings: Adjust the volume of the scanner's feedback sound (High, Medium, Low, Turn off) and enable or disable vibration feedback.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scanner's exterior.
- For the scanning window, use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a mild cleaning solution (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) to remove smudges or dirt. Avoid abrasive materials.
