USING FIRESCAN™ SERIES READERS

FireScan™ laser scanners automatically scan barcodes at a

distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. Code scanning is

performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window.

This line must cross the entire code.

Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the scanner with

respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections, which impair

the reading performance, see the figure above.

AIMING SYSTEM

FireScan™ laser scanners provide a programmable aiming

system. If enabled, the scan line emitted from the reading

window is preceded by a red spot, which must illuminate the

code center to get the best reading performance (see figure

above, c). Once the defined timeout is reached, the red spot

disappears and is followed by the scan line to start the code

scanning.

After configuring the scanner, read one of the following codes to

set desired aiming system timeout.

INTERFACE SELECTION

Follow the procedure to configure the interface required by your

application:

- USB Interface

- RS232 Interface

- Wedge Interface

- Pen Interface

USB INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

The USB interface is compatible with:

Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows

Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System

START-UP

As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs

several checks by communicating with the FireScan™. During

this phase the green LED on the FireScan™ reader blinks and

normal operations are suspended. Two basic conditions must

be met before FireScan™ is ready to read codes, the correct

USB driver must be loaded and sufficient power must be

supplied to the reader.

For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD

interface is included in the Host Operating System and will

either be loaded automatically or will be suggested by the O.S.

and should therefore be selected from the dialog box (the first

time only).

If the Host supplies sufficient power to the reader, the start-up

phase ends correctly, the green LED stops blinking and the

reader emits the beep OK signal.

If the Host does not supply sufficient power to the reader, a

dialog box will appear on the Host and the reader will be

blocked (green LED continues blinking). In this case,

disconnect the USB cable at the Host (green LED stops

blinking), connect and power-up an external supply to the USB

cable then reconnect the USB cable to the Host and close the

dialog box. The reader emits the beep OK signal. You can now

read codes. At this point you can read the USB interface

configuration code according to your application. Load drivers

from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB-COM

interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from

the USB Device Installation software, which can be downloaded

from the web page http://www.datalogic.com.

The reader is ready.
