Microsoft® Windows XP

Pentium CPU 500 MHz or faster

.NET 1.1 SP1 (installed automatically)

Insert CD-ROM and follow the on-screen prompts.

then click Connect.

•

Reading your First Code

The DataMan 100 is pre-congured for Manual triggering and symbology

discrimination. To verify that your reader is operational, click on the

Results Display step in the Setup Tool, place a code in front of the reader,

and press the black trigger button. The Setup Tool should display the

image and the decoded string.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to read a code, verify that

You have scanned the correct connection code on page 14.

If you are using your PC’s USB to power the DataMan 100, make sure

that your PC’s USB port can supply enough power (2.5W peak). Connect

the DataMan 100 power supply (DM100-PWR-000) to the USB adapter

cable if needed.

If you are using a direct USB connection, make sure that the USB

adapter cable is connected to the DataMan 100 before you connect the

USB cable to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug from

the USB cable while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver crash

on the PC.

If you are using a USB connection with the I/O module, make sure that

the DataMan 100 is connected to the I/O module before you connect

the I/O module to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug

from the I/O module while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver

crash on the PC.
