Radio Notice

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions in this manual, it may cause interference to radio commu-

nications. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A comput-

ing device pursuant to EN55022 and 47 CFR, Part 2 and Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when operated in

a commercial environment.

Radio and Television Interference

Operation of this equipment in a residential area can cause interference to radio or television

reception. This can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to

try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

* Reorient the receiving antenna.

* Relocate the device with respect to the receiver.

* Move the device away from the receiver.

* Plug the device into a different outlet so that the device and the receiver are on different

branch circuits.

If necessary the user may consult the manufacturer, an authorized dealer, or experienced

radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet pre-

pared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV

Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Wash-

ington, DC 20402 U.S.A., Stock No. 004000003454.

For CE-countries

This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved, CE-marked

power supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.

Laser Safety

The Dual-Laser Omnidirectional Vertical Scanner complies with safety standard

IEC 60825 for a Class I laser product. It also complies with CDRH as applicable

to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term staring into direct laser light.

Radiant Energy: The Dual-Laser Omnidirectional Vertical Scanner uses two

low-power visible laser diodes operating at 650nm in an opto-mechanical scan-

ner resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated power as observed through a 7mm

aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.

Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned

laser light with a peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which

laser light may be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner motor,

while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission lev-

els to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent

this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scan-

ner should be disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do

not remove the protective housing of the scanner. There are no user-service-

able parts inside.

Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye

hazard. Optical instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and micro-

scopes but do not include normal eye glasses worn by the user.

1 Introduction

This advanced scanner is a proud to be among the world's first dual-laser pre-

sentation scanners, and it incorporates numerous record-breaking features. Its

pioneering application of dual laser diodes drastically enhances scanning

power by doubling the scan lines, broadening scan angle and intensifying the

scan pattern across the scan field. With this state-of-the-art technology, it is

able to deliver a comprehensive 32-line scan pattern cycling at 2400 scans per

second. The scanner is additionally equipped with Z-SCAN technology—an

innovative ASIC hardware decode protocol that provides real-time decoding

that effectively shortens customer transaction time.

The broad, omnidirectional scan field effectively facilitates hands-free scanning

of barcodes on products of many different shapes. Also, the scanner is pro-

grammed with multiple beeper tones and barcode data edition functions to

accommodate a variety of applications.

2 Unpacking

The Dual-Laser Omnidirectional Vertical Scanner package should contain:

1 ea. Dual-Laser Omnidirectional Vertical Scan-

ner, with attached mounting plate

1 ea. 5V power adapter (model depends on

electrical requirements of your geographic

location)

1 ea. User's Manual (this booklet)

1 ea. Programming Guide

1 ea. Connection cable (This cable is usually,

but not always, supplied. Model depends

on customer needs.)

Please check for any damaged or missing items; contact your dealer if there is

a problem.

4.1 Power

The scanner requires a minimum of 300mA at 5 Vdc power. The interface cable

that comes with the scanner supports both direct power (where the scanner

takes power from the host machine) and external power (that's what the sup-

plied power adapter is for). A sufficiently robust POS system can support a

scanner successfully without external power; a POS system with a barely ade-

quate power supply may produce erratic performance (either of the POS sys-

tem itself, or of the scanner, or both) when a scanner is attached. Unless you

are sure your POS system can handle the load, it is recommended that you use

the supplied power adapter. When an external adapter is connected, the scan-

ner does not take power from the host.

The scanner turns on when power is supplied, and turns off when power is

removed. There is no on/off switch on the scanner itself.

Use only an AC/DC power adapter approved for the scanner. Use of other

power supplies may cause damage to the product, and void the factory war-

ranty.

4.2 Verifying Scanner Operation

Before mounting your scanner, please follow the procedure below to verify

scanning operation.

1. Take out the screws and remove the mounting plate.

Figure 2: Remove Mounting Plate

2. Insert the 8-pin modular plug of the power link cable into the “host” connec-

tor in the back of the scanner until a firm click is heard.

3. Plug the power adapter into the jack on the power link cable. (See Figure

1.)

4. Plug the AC end of the power adapter into an AC outlet. The scanner pow-

ers up, the buzzer sounds four beeps and the LED indicator glows blue.

5. Present a known-good test barcode to the scanner. The scanner should

issue a short beep and the LED should flash red momentarily. [If the scan-

ner is connected to a keyboard wedge for this test, it should read one bar-

code, beep, then remain with a red LED indicating light. This is normal

when the keyboard wedge is not connected to a live host terminal.]

Note: If the scanner does not produce any beeps, or produces the wrong

beeps, or the LED does not light, remove the power connection and refer to the

section on Troubleshooting.

4.3 Mounting

After the scanner passes its verification test (Section 4.2 above), proceed with

mounting.

The scanner should be installed in a location away from direct sunlight; high

levels of ambient light reduce scanner effectiveness.

The two basic styles of mounting are a) with the included mounting plate, and

b) with a custom bracket (not included) for back mounting. If an auxiliary hand-

held scanner is to be attached, it must be properly connected as part of the

mounting process.

Mounting Plate Installation

1. Position the mounting plate in the desired location and secure it in place. If

desired, use the full-size boring template in Figure 6 on page 21.

2. Insert the connecting cable in the slot in the mounting plate.

3. Insert the 8-pin modular plug of the power link cable into the “host” connec-

tor in the back of the scanner until a firm click is heard.

4. Move the scanner into position on the mounting plate, engaging the tab on

the underside. Be careful not to pinch the cable.

5. Replace the mounting plate screws.
