Part I

General Information

The OPT-6125 Series CCD Scanners utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology similar to that found in digital cameras,

facsimile machines and video camcorders. The scanner images the bar code label, then converts the digital signals into data

the host computer can understand. By capturing the bar code image all at once, the scanner provides fast, highly accurate

reading.

Miniature surface mount electronics make up the CCD scanner's solid state construction. CCD scanners have no moving

mechanical parts and provide years of trouble-free operation.

This manual contains information on setting-up the scanner as well as programming various parameters of the scanner.

The OPT6125 scanner is available in several different interface configurations:

Keyboard Wedge Interface

RS232 Serial Interface

USB Interface

There is a specific section of this manual for installing each type of interface. Be sure you are using the section of the

manual that pertains to interface you are using.

Unpacking

Remove the scanner from its packaging and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, call the dealer or

distributor from whom you purchased it. If you purchased it directly from Opticon, call Opticon Customer Service Dept. at

800-636-0090.

Factory Technical Support

If you have any questions or need assistance with programming your scanner call Opticon Technical Support at 800-636-

0090 please have the unit model number and several bar code labels readily at hand. The model number is located near the

connector end of the cable.

If the scanner must be returned, please contact Opticon to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number prior

to returning the product. The Customer Service Dept. may be reached at 800-636-0090.

NOTE: Returned merchandise will not be accepted without a RMA number indicated clearly on the outside of the carton.

Part II Installation and SetUp

This section of the manual contains information on the physical installation of the scanner as well as certain programming options.

There is a separate section for each type of interface. Check to see which type of interface your scanner has and turn to that

section for information on installing the scanner

A.) Installation – Keyboard Wedge Interface

A "Y" connection cable is required for installation. The scanner is installed or "wedged" between the keyboard and the computer..

Your “Y” cable should have connectors for both a PS2 and AT type installation. The "Y" cable connects both the scanner and the

keyboard to the computer.

The scanner must match the type of computer being used. The default setting is for an IBM AT type computer. If this type does

not match the host computer, refer to the “Computer Type Selection” in the programming section that follows. If the connector

does not match the host compute remove the short cable section, reverse it and insert it in the other connector

Reset All Defaults – Keyboad Wedge Interface

Our scanners are shipped with factory default settings that represent the settings most commonly used by our customers. In most

applications, the scanner will work right out of the box without any need for additional programming. At any time you can return

the scanner to the factory default settings by scanning the “Reset all Defaults” programming bar code below.

NOTE: (

) A pointing finger indicates default settings throughout the following menus.

Computer Type Selection (for Keyboard Wedge only)

The Keyboard Wedge interface scanner is designed to operate with an IBM personal computers and compatibles along with a

Macintosh PC's. Select the host computer type from the menu below.

NOTE: If the scanner has not been set to the correct host computer, the scanner will display random characters on the screen after

reading a bar code label.

Intercharacter Delay for Keyboard Wedge interface

The scanner may send data faster than the computer or application program can accept. This is called "keyboard buffer overrun".

If data appears to be missing, random read errors occur or the scanner locks up and will not scan, experiment with the various

keyboard timing options listed in the menu to follow.

B.) Installation – RS232 Interface

The RS-232 scanner cable is terminated in with a DB9 female connector. An external power supply (+5V DC) may be necessary.

There is a power supply jack on the RS-232 connector.

Installation is as follows:

1. Plug the scanner into an RS232 serial port (such as COM1) of the host PC. If external power is required, insert external power

plug into the jack on the RS-232 connector.

2. Connect the power supply into an electrical outlet (110 V AC)

3. Turn on the power to the host computer. Make sure the communication parameters of the computer match those of the

scanner. The default communications settings are: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshaking

4. Be sure the PC is in a program (such as WordPad) that will accept input from the serial port.

Reset All Defaults – RS232

Our scanners are shipped with factory default settings that represent the settings most commonly used by our customers. In most

applications, the scanner will work right out of the box without any need for additional programming. At any time you can return

the scanner to the factory default settings by scanning the “Reset all Defaults” programming bar code below.
