4. Setup and Connection

4.1 Charging the Scanner

Before initial use, fully charge the scanner using the provided USB cable. Connect the USB cable to the scanner and a power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The integrated 2000mAh Li-Ion battery provides extended operation time.

4.2 2.4G Wireless Connection

1. Insert the 2.4G USB dongle into an available USB port on your computer or host device.
2. Turn on the barcode scanner. It will automatically attempt to connect to the dongle.
3. A successful connection is indicated by a specific sound or LED indicator on the scanner.

The 2.4G wireless connection offers a transmission distance of up to 200m in open environments and 30m with obstacles.

4.3 Bluetooth Connection

1. Ensure your host device (smartphone, tablet, computer) has Bluetooth enabled.
2. Turn on the barcode scanner and activate its Bluetooth pairing mode (refer to the scanner's specific pairing barcode in the included quick start guide if available).
3. On your host device, search for available Bluetooth devices and select the JRHC scanner (e.g., "JRHC Scanner BW1").
4. Confirm pairing. A successful connection is indicated by a specific sound or LED indicator on the scanner.

4.4 USB Wired Connection

1. Connect the scanner directly to your computer or host device using the provided USB cable.
2. The scanner will function as a standard USB HID keyboard device, and scanned data will appear as keyboard input.
3. No additional drivers are typically required for this mode.

5. Operating Modes

The JRHC BW1 scanner supports three distinct scanning modes to suit various operational needs.

Image 5.1: Illustration of the three available scanning modes: Manual Trigger, Continuous Scan, and Auto-sensing Scan. Each mode is depicted with a hand holding the scanner in the appropriate manner.

5.1 Manual Trigger Mode

In this mode, the scanner will only activate its scanning beam when the trigger button is pressed. This is suitable for precise scanning of individual barcodes.

5.2 Continuous Scan Mode

The scanning beam remains continuously active, allowing for rapid scanning of multiple barcodes without repeatedly pressing the trigger. This mode is ideal for high-volume scanning tasks.

5.3 Auto-sensing Scan Mode

When the scanner is placed on its stand and configured for auto-sensing, it will automatically activate the scanning beam when a barcode is presented within its detection range. This enables hands-free operation.

6. Barcode Symbologies Supported

The JRHC BW1 scanner is capable of reading a wide array of 1D and 2D barcode types from both digital screens and printed media.

• Beep Settings: Enable or disable the audible beep after a successful scan.
• Data Editing Functions: Add prefixes or suffixes to scanned data, hide front/end characters, or insert characters in the middle of the data string.
• Working Modes: Switch between Instant Upload Mode (data transmitted immediately) and Storage Mode (data stored internally, up to 100,000 barcodes, then uploaded later).
• Interface Settings: Configure for different host systems if necessary.
