Model: FHR-004
Manual Version 1.03
The Diamond Technologies Creo R is a compact companion barcode and RFID scanner which is designed for applications in hospitals, labs, and for use with medical devices and lab instrumentation. The reader's small size is designed for space saving applications such as on nursing carts and lab bench tops. The Creo R scanner is further designed for ergonomic use by clinicians, nursing staff, and lab personnel. The scanner is designed to withstand cleaning by common cleaning products found in hospital settings and incorporates special anti-microbial plastics which inhibit the growth of bacteria on the reader's surface.
The Creo R incorporates a high performance 1D/2D barcode module along with an Low Frequency and High Frequency RFID scan module. This provides omni directional reading of all standard 1D and 2D barcodes with high accuracy and speed regardless of code orientation, as well as low and high frequency RFID tag reading. The reader includes a highly visible LED aimer and integrated user feedback in the form of green light, audible beep, and vibrator.
The Creo R scanner includes patented, highly accurate, decode software libraries and provides decoded output through its USB interface. This guide provides the basic instructions for scanner setup and use.

FCC Interference Statement (Part 15.105 (b)) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Setup and Configuration:
The Creo R can be easily setup by the following steps:
1) Plug the scanner into your host USB port. 2) Set the preferred scanner interface. 3) Set the preferred scanner operating mode. 4) Program the scanner as needed.
The Creo R is powered and provides data via its USB interface cable. The cable comes preinstalled but can be removed by the user. The USB cable can be removed, by inserting a paper clip into the decoupling hole under the round sticker on the scanner's base. The paper clip pushes on the top of the RJ45 connector locking tab, allowing the cable to be pulled out. Reaffix the round sticker over decoupling hole for proper sealing. Unless it is required, it is not advised to remove the cable.

Good Read Feedback:
The Creo R comes equipped with green led, vibrator, and audio feedback when scanning barcodes. The unit will display a green light, vibrate in the hand, and emit an audible beep when a good read is performed on a barcode. However this may not be desired in all cases.
The barcodes to enable and disable the green feedback light and in hand vibration are found below. For Audible beeper settings, please refer to page 7.

Vibrator On

Vibrator Off

Interface Mode:
The Creo R can operate in various interface modes. These include USB COM and USB keyboard. These modes determine how the scanner will send its data to the host. The scanner's default setting is USB Serial. In this mode the Creo R acts as a USB Serial port to the host. Scan the following barcode to set your desired operating mode.

Feedback LED On Enable Disable Specific Codes:

Beeper:
It may be advantageous to turn off the Creo R's audible good read beeper. This is helpful in hospital bedside applications. The beeper volume may also be raised or lowered. Use the following barcodes to increase, decrease, or turn off the reader's beeper settings.

Operating Mode:
The Creo R's default operating mode is single trigger. In this mode the scanner will turn on when the trigger button is pressed and it will look for barcodes. On reading a barcode or releasing the trigger button, the scanner will turn off. The scanner can also be put into other operating modes depending on the specific need. To enter a different operating mode simply scan the QR code above the description.

Illumination Control:

The Creo R's illumination lighting can be controlled with the below codes. This is also helpful in hospital or patient room settings. Note however, reducing the lights too much will reduce the scanners ability to read barcodes in dark environments.

Manual Trigger
Scanner activates on trigger press and searches for a barcode until trigger is
released or barcode is found.

Presentation Mode
The reader will come on when it detects motion and will sleep after a few seconds of not de-
tecting a code

Illumination On Aimer and Scanning

Illumination Off

The Creo R is equipped with a red dot LED aimer as shown on page 4. The aiming pattern shows the scanner's field of view. The aiming pattern should be targeted over the code to be read. The aimer can also be disabled with the codes below

CAUTION!
Scanning this code will disable the use of barcode reading functionality and thus will disable programming codes in this manual.
This cannot be undone with codes in this manual
To re-enable barcode reading, download the DSCU software from Diamondt.com

Reading RFID with the Creo R is simple. Shown below are the proper actions for scanning a common RFID access card.

Simply bring the RFID tag or card within 3" or into contact with the back of the scanner opposite the trigger button. When a tag is detected the scanner trigger LED will begin flashing. When the trigger LED is flashing depress the trigger and observe the good read yellow LED on the nose cone and the vibration feedback.
