5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Scanning
- Ensure the scanner is powered on and connected to your device via the USB receiver.
- Point the scanner's laser beam at the barcode you wish to scan.
- Press the scan trigger button. A successful scan will be indicated by a beep and/or a change in the indicator light.
- The scanned data will appear in the active application on your connected device (e.g., a text editor, spreadsheet, or inventory software).

5.2 Pairing Modes
The scanner supports two primary pairing modes:
- One-to-one Mode: In this default mode, a single scanner transmits barcode data exclusively to one USB receiver. This is suitable for individual workstations.
- More-to-one Mode: This mode allows multiple scanners to transmit barcode data to a single USB receiver. This is ideal for environments like warehouses where several users need to scan simultaneously to a central system. Refer to specific programming barcodes in the full manual (if provided) to switch between modes.
5.3 Working Modes
The scanner offers two working modes for data handling:
- Instant Upload Mode: Barcode data is transmitted immediately to the connected device upon scanning. This is the standard mode for real-time data entry.
- Storage Mode: When the scanner is out of wireless transmission range, it can store scanned barcodes internally. Once the scanner re-enters the wireless range, the stored data can be uploaded to the connected device. Refer to specific programming barcodes in the full manual (if provided) to switch between modes and upload stored data.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, keep the scanner clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For the scanning window, use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a mild cleaning solution (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or direct spraying of liquids onto the device.
6.2 Battery Care
- Recharge the scanner when the battery low indicator appears or when performance degrades.
- Use only the provided USB charging cable.
- Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently to prolong its lifespan.
- If storing the scanner for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and store in a cool, dry place.
6.3 Storage
Store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and corrosive materials. Protect it from drops and impacts.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Shreyans M-1D scanner, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner does not power on. | Low battery or incorrect battery installation. | Charge the scanner using the USB cable. Check battery polarity and ensure it is properly seated. |
| Scanner not connecting wirelessly. | USB receiver not plugged in, out of range, or pairing issue. | Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the computer. Move the scanner closer to the receiver. Re-pair the scanner with the receiver (refer to pairing instructions in the full manual if needed). |
| Barcodes are not scanning. | Barcode damaged, incorrect angle, or scanner in an unsupported mode. | Ensure the barcode is clean and undamaged. Adjust the scanning angle and distance. Verify the scanner is in the correct working mode (e.g., Instant Upload). |
| Scanned data not appearing on computer. | No active input field, scanner in storage mode, or connectivity issue. | Click on an input field (e.g., text document, spreadsheet cell). Ensure the scanner is in Instant Upload Mode. Check wireless connection. |
| Short battery life. | Frequent use, aging battery, or improper charging. | Ensure full charge cycles. Reduce continuous scanning if possible. If battery life significantly degrades, contact support. |
