Figure 2: Three Connection Ways

3.1. Wired Connection (USB Cable)

For a direct and immediate connection, use the provided USB cable:

1. Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the charging/data port at the base of the scanner.
2. Plug the larger USB-A end of the cable into an available USB port on your computer, laptop, or POS system.
3. The scanner will automatically power on and be ready for use. No driver installation is required.

3.2. 2.4G Wireless Connection

For wireless operation using the 2.4G USB dongle:

1. Insert the 2.4G USB wireless adapter into an available USB port on your computer or device.
2. Turn on the barcode scanner. It should automatically pair with the adapter. A successful connection is usually indicated by a specific beep or LED indicator on the scanner.
3. The scanner is now ready for wireless scanning within range of the adapter.

3.3. Bluetooth Connection

To connect your scanner via Bluetooth to a tablet, iPad, iPhone, or Android device:

1. Ensure the scanner is powered on.
2. On your host device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), go to the Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth on.
3. Scan the specific Bluetooth pairing barcode provided in the quick start guide or on the scanner itself (if applicable). This will put the scanner into pairing mode.
4. Look for "NT CCD barcode scanner" or a similar device name in your device's Bluetooth list and select it to pair.
5. Once paired, the scanner will emit a confirmation beep, and the LED indicator will change, signifying a successful connection.

4. Operating Modes

The scanner supports various operating modes to optimize your workflow:

Figure 3: Three Scanning Modes

• Manual Scan (Key Trigger Mode): Press the trigger button to activate the scan beam and read a barcode. This is the default mode.
• Auto-sensing Scan (Auto-induction Mode): The scanner automatically detects a barcode within its field of view and scans it without requiring a trigger press.
• Continuous Scan Mode: The scan beam remains active continuously, allowing for rapid scanning of multiple barcodes without individual trigger presses.

Figure 4: Two Upload Modes

• Instant Upload Mode: Scanned barcode data is immediately transmitted to the connected device.
• Storage Mode: Scanned barcode data is stored in the scanner's internal memory. Data can be uploaded to the connected device later when within wireless transmission range or connected via USB.

5. Scanning Capabilities

The NetumScan 1D & 2D Barcode Scanner is designed to read a wide range of barcode types, even those that are damaged or difficult to scan:

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your NetumScan barcode scanner, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Scanner Not Responding: Ensure the scanner is charged. If using wireless modes, check that the dongle is properly inserted or Bluetooth is paired. Try reconnecting the cable or re-pairing the device.
• Unable to Scan Certain Barcodes: Some special barcodes may require specific settings to be enabled. Refer to the full manual (if provided separately) or contact NetumScan support for assistance. Ensure the barcode is clean and not severely damaged.
• Data Not Transmitting: Verify the connection mode (wired, 2.4G, Bluetooth) is active and stable. If in storage mode, ensure you initiate the upload process. Check the application on your host device is ready to receive input.
• Auto-sensing Function Inactive: This feature might need to be activated by scanning a specific configuration barcode. If it stops working unexpectedly, try restarting the scanner or re-enabling the feature via configuration barcodes.
• Compatibility Issues: Ensure your operating system (Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android) is supported. While generally compatible, some specific POS systems (e.g., Square POS) may not be fully supported.
