- This mode also charges the scanner.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Scanning Barcodes
Point the scanner's window at the barcode and press the scan button. The scanner will emit a light beam to read the barcode. A successful scan is typically indicated by a beep and a change in the indicator light.
Image 5.1: The scanner's CMOS technology supports various barcode types including UPC/EAN, Code-128, QR, Data Matrix, as well as fuzzy, damaged, curved, screen, and colorful codes.
5.2 Scanning Modes
The scanner offers three operational modes, which can be configured by scanning specific setup codes (refer to the physical manual for these codes):
Image 5.2: Depicts the three available scanning modes: Manual Trigger Mode (scan upon button press), Auto-sensing Scan Mode (scans when a barcode is presented), and Continuous Scan Mode (scans continuously).
- Manual Trigger Mode: The scanner reads a barcode only when the scan button is pressed.
- Auto-sensing Scan Mode: The scanner automatically detects and reads a barcode when it is presented within its scanning range.
- Continuous Scan Mode: The scanner continuously emits a scan beam and reads any barcode it detects.
5.3 Data Uploading Modes
The scanner supports two methods for uploading scanned data:
Image 5.3: Illustrates Instant Upload Mode, where barcodes are immediately sent to the connected device, and Storage Mode, which allows storing over 50,000 barcodes internally before uploading.
- Instant Upload Mode: Barcodes are transmitted to the connected device immediately after scanning. This is the default mode.
- Storage Mode: Scanned barcodes are stored in the scanner's internal memory. The scanner can store over 50,000 barcodes. Data can be uploaded to the connected device later by scanning a specific upload code (refer to the physical manual).
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, keep the scanner's scanning window clean. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the device.
6.2 Battery Care
The scanner is equipped with a 2000mAh Lithium Ion battery. For best battery life:
- Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
