The scanner is shown resting in its charging cradle, which also serves as a communication base. The cradle is connected to a power source via a USB cable, indicating the charging process.
4.2. Connecting to a Computer
The scanner uses a plug-and-play wireless base station. No driver installation is typically required:
- Ensure the charging cradle is connected to your computer via the USB data cable.
- The computer should automatically recognize the device.
- The scanner will communicate wirelessly with the cradle.
This image demonstrates the wireless connection setup. The scanner communicates wirelessly with its charging cradle, which is connected to a laptop via a USB cable, enabling data transfer without direct cable connection to the scanner itself.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Powering On/Off
Press and hold the Power key (usually marked 'ESC' or 'Power') to turn the scanner on or off.
5.2. Scan Modes
The scanner supports three primary scan modes:
The scanner offers three operational modes. In Wireless Mode, barcode data is instantly uploaded to your device. Collect Mode allows you to store scanned barcodes and then export them. Inventory Mode provides functionality to check and record the number, length, and quantity of items based on their barcodes.
- Wireless Mode: Synchronously uploads barcode data directly to your connected device. Ideal for real-time data entry.
- Collect Mode: Scans and stores barcode data internally. You can review the number and length of scanned items on the screen. Data can be exported to your device later.
- Inventory Mode: Scans and stores barcode data, allowing you to check the number, length, and quantity of items on the screen. Data can be exported to your device for inventory management.
5.3. Scanning Barcodes
Point the scan head at the barcode and press the 'SCAN' button. The scanner will emit a light beam to read the barcode. A successful scan is usually indicated by an audible beep and/or a visual confirmation on the screen.
This image demonstrates the scanner's capability to read a wide range of 1D and 2D barcodes, even those that are damaged, blurred, scratched, printed on colored surfaces, or folded, ensuring reliable data capture.
5.4. Data Transmission Range
The scanner offers a significant wireless transmission range:
- Up to 200 meters (656 feet) in an open, barrier-free environment.
- Up to 50 meters (164 feet) in environments with obstacles.
The diagram shows the scanner's effective wireless range, capable of transmitting data up to 200 meters in open spaces and up to 50 meters when obstacles like walls are present, providing flexibility in various work environments.
6. Maintenance
