This diagram details the three versatile connection methods of the Yoidesu barcode scanner. It supports Bluetooth wireless connection for smartphones, tablets, and computers (Windows, Android, iOS/MacOS, Linux), a direct USB wired connection, and a 2.4G wireless connection via a dongle for desktop and laptop computers.

3.2.1 Bluetooth Wireless Connection

1. Turn on the scanner.
2. Scan the Bluetooth pairing barcode (usually found in the quick start guide or on the device itself). The scanner will enter pairing mode.
3. On your host device (smartphone, tablet, computer), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
4. Select 'Yoidesu Scanner' (or similar name) from the list to pair.
5. A successful connection will be indicated by a specific sound or light on the scanner.

3.2.2 2.4G Wireless Connection

1. Plug the 2.4G USB dongle into an available USB port on your computer.
2. Turn on the scanner.
3. The scanner should automatically connect to the dongle. A successful connection will be indicated by a specific sound or light.

3.2.3 USB Wired Connection

1. Connect the scanner directly to your computer using the provided USB cable.
2. The computer will recognize the scanner as a HID keyboard device. No additional drivers are usually required.

3.3 Upload Modes

The scanner supports two data upload modes:

This image explains the two data upload modes. In 'Instant Upload Mode,' scanned data is immediately transmitted to the connected device. In 'Storage Mode,' the scanner stores up to 100,000 barcodes internally, allowing for offline scanning and subsequent batch upload when connected.

3.3.1 Instant Upload Mode

In this mode, scanned barcodes are immediately transmitted to the connected device. This is ideal for real-time data entry into applications like spreadsheets or POS systems. To activate, scan the 'Instant Upload Mode' configuration barcode (refer to your quick start guide for specific barcodes).

3.3.2 Storage Mode

This mode allows you to scan and store barcodes internally in the scanner's memory (up to 100,000 barcodes) without being connected to a host device. Once you are ready, you can connect the scanner and upload all stored data in a batch. To activate, scan the 'Storage Mode' configuration barcode. To upload stored data, scan the 'Upload Data' barcode.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Scanning

1. Ensure the scanner is powered on and connected to your host device via your preferred method.
2. Point the scanner's window at the barcode you wish to scan.
3. Press the trigger button. A red aiming line will appear.
4. Align the aiming line with the center of the barcode.
5. Upon a successful scan, the scanner will emit a 'drop' beep, vibrate, and display the data on its screen. The data will then be transmitted to your connected device (in Instant Upload Mode) or stored internally (in Storage Mode).

This image illustrates the scanner's powerful decoding capabilities, showing its ability to recognize a wide range of barcode types, including QR Code, Data Matrix, Maxicode, Aztec code, as well as damaged, distorted, colorful, fuzzy, and reflective barcodes. It also depicts the scanner successfully reading a QR code from a smartphone screen.

4.2 Prompt Modes

The scanner provides three distinct prompt modes to confirm successful scans and prevent missed data:

• Audible Beep: A short 'drop' sound confirms a successful scan.
• Vibration Alert: The scanner vibrates briefly to provide tactile feedback.
• Screen Display: The scanned barcode data is shown on the scanner's built-in screen.

This image highlights the scanner's three prompt modes. Upon a successful code scan, the device provides an audible 'drop' beep, a vibration alert, and displays the scanned data on its screen, effectively preventing missed scans.

4.3 System Compatibility

The Yoidesu scanner is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, ensuring seamless integration into your existing setup:

• Windows (7/8/10/XP)

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, keep the scanner's lens and body clean. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surfaces. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Battery Care

To prolong battery life:

• Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• Charge the scanner regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
• Store the scanner in a cool, dry place when not in use.

5.3 Durability

The scanner is designed with high shock resistance, capable of withstanding drops from up to 1.5 meters. However, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts to ensure its longevity.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Yoidesu barcode scanner, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Scanner does not turn on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the scanner to a power source using the USB cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
• Scanner does not connect to device:
  • For Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your host device and the scanner is in pairing mode. Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
  • For 2.4G Wireless: Ensure the USB dongle is securely plugged into your computer. Try plugging it into a different USB port.
  • For USB Wired: Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable.
• Scanner does not read barcodes:
  • Ensure the barcode is clean, undamaged, and well-lit.
  • Check the distance and angle between the scanner and the barcode.
  • Verify that the barcode type is supported by the scanner (1D and 2D codes are supported).
  • Ensure the scanner is in the correct operating mode (e.g., not in a configuration mode).
• Scanner turns off too quickly (Sleep Time): The scanner has a configurable sleep time. To adjust this, you may need to scan specific configuration barcodes from the quick start guide. Typically, you scan a 'Sleep Time Set' barcode followed by a barcode for the desired duration (e.g., '2 minutes').
• Scanned data does not appear on screen/device:
  • Ensure the scanner is successfully connected to your device.
  • If in Storage Mode, remember that data is stored internally until manually uploaded. Scan the 'Upload Data' barcode to transfer.
  • If in Instant Upload Mode, ensure your application (e.g., text editor, spreadsheet) is active and ready to receive input.
