Refer to the included quick setup guide (usually a series of configuration barcodes) to switch between these modes.

3.2 Barcode Compatibility

The HC-760WT is capable of scanning a wide array of 1D and 2D barcodes, including those that are frayed, blurred, folded, or color-coded.

Image 3.2: The scanner can read various barcode conditions, including frayed, blurred, folded, and color barcodes.

• 1D Barcodes: UPC, EAN, Codabar, Code 11, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, ITF-6, ITF-14, UCC/EAN 128, ISBN, ISSN, MSI Plessey, GS1 Databar, Interleaved 25, Industrial 25, Standard 25, Matrix.
• 2D Barcodes: QR Code, DataMatrix, PDF417, Aztec, Micro PDF417.

3.3 LCD Display Functions

The 1.8-inch HD LCD display provides essential information at a glance:

• Remaining Power: Indicates current battery level.
• Barcode Data: Displays the scanned barcode value.
• Barcode Type: Shows the symbology of the scanned barcode.
• Barcode Length: Indicates the number of characters in the barcode.
• Number of Barcodes: Tracks the total count of scanned barcodes.

3.4 Data Upload Modes

The scanner supports two data upload modes:

Image 3.4: The scanner offers Storage Mode and Instant Upload Mode.

• Instant Upload Mode: Scanned data is immediately transmitted to the connected host device.
• Storage Mode: Scanned data is stored in the scanner's internal memory and can be uploaded later. This is useful when out of range of the receiver.

Refer to the quick setup guide to configure the desired upload mode.

3.5 Barcode Editing Functions

The scanner provides powerful editing functions to modify barcode data before transmission:

Image 3.5: Barcode editing functions include adding prefixes, middle characters, suffixes, and hiding front-end/back-end data.

• Add Prefix: Insert characters at the beginning of the barcode data. Example: Scanning '123456789' with prefix 'AB' results in 'AB123456789'.
• Add Suffix: Insert characters at the end of the barcode data. Example: Scanning '123456789' with suffix 'AB' results in '123456789AB'.
• Add Middle: Insert characters within the barcode data at a specified position. Example: Scanning '123456789' with middle 'AB' at position 5 results in '12345AB6789'.
• Hide Front-end/Back-end: Conceal a specified number of characters from the beginning or end of the barcode data. Example: Hiding front-end '123' from '123456789' results in '456789'.

These functions are configured by scanning specific setup barcodes provided in the manual.

3.6 Sound and Vibration Settings

The scanner provides audible feedback (beep) and tactile feedback (vibration) upon successful scans. These settings can be adjusted.

Image 3.6: Options to enable or disable the beep sound.

• Beep Sound: Can be enabled or disabled by scanning the corresponding configuration barcode.
• Vibration: The vibration function is particularly useful in noisy environments where audible beeps might be missed. This can also be configured via setup barcodes.
