Quick Reference Guide 3

Introduction

The Phaser 360/460 Memory Scanners bring new flexibility and economy to data

capture and data management in both retail and industrial operations. In addition

to an integrated bar code scanner, the Phaser has an on-board keyboard and

display. They can operate in both corded and battery-powered cordless modes.

There are several versions available:

-1D P460: the batch retail version.

-1D P360: the batch industrial version.

This Quick Reference Guide provides basic instruction on the set up and use of

these scanners.

Installing Cables

There are two kinds of cables that attach to the Phaser:

-an RS-232 cable which connects directly to a serial port.

-a Synapse Smart Cable for attachment to all popular hosts.

Installing a Synapse Smart Cable

Refer to the Synapse cable instructions.

Installing an RS-232 Cable

Thetwist-lockcanbe

slipped down the

cable to facilitate

connecting.

1. Switch off all devices connected to the Phaser cable.

2. Plug the modular connector on the cable into the receptacle in

the bottom of the Phaser scanner handle.

Disconnecting Cables

Most hosts require RS-232 cables. All other hosts require Synapse cables. To

disconnect the Phaser scanner cable:

1. Power down all devices connected to the Phaser scanner cable.

2. Remove the cable by turning the cable twist-lock 1/8 turn counter-clockwise

and pulling the cable out.

Installing or Changing the Battery

1. Slide the battery compartment release latch down and remove the battery

compartment cover.

3. Turn the cable twist-lock 1/8 turn clockwise to

seat it.

4. Gently pull the cable to ensure it is properly

seated.

5. Plug the other end of the cable to the host

computer.

2. Slide the battery towards the bottom of the scanner and pull the bottom of the

battery up and out of the scanner.

Replacing the Battery

1. Seat the battery fully in the scanner and then slide it up the handle.

2. Replace the battery compartment cover and slide the release latch up to

secure the cover in place.

Powering Up the Scanner

To turn the scanner on, press the Enter key or pull the trigger. The scanner is

automatically brought out of sleep mode and into scanning mode.

Recharging the Scanner in the Cradle

To recharge the scanner, place it front-side down into the cradle. Ensure that the

contacts in the bottom of the scanner match up with the metal contacts on the

cradle.

A full re-charge takes up to four hours. Less time may be required depending

upon the remaining charge in the battery. The LED light on the bottom of the

cradle becomes solid to alert the user when the battery is recharged.

Scanning

The scanner ships with two default applications that are ready to use right out of

the box.

6 P360/460 Memory Scanners

• Corded scanning scans and transmits data, via cable, to the host.

• Batch (uncorded) scanning scans and stores data. To transmit batched data to

the host, press the <FN>1 key combination, then insert the scanner in its

cradle, or attach its cable.

The scanner automatically switches between these applications by monitoring for

the presence of a cable.

If you are not using one of the default applications, consult the Phaser Series

Scanner Product Reference Guide (p/n 70-33629-xx) for programming

instructions. If necessary, contact your local supplier or the Symbol Support

Center for assistance.

Scanning 1D Bar Codes

1. If using the scanner in corded mode, ensure all cable connections are secure.

Otherwise, ensure the battery is charged.

2. Ensure the bar code is in the correct scanning range. Aim and press the

trigger. When the scanner reads the symbol:

-a beep sounds.

-the LED above the display turns green.

-the red laser turns off.

Keyboard Entry

Instead of scanning a bar code, enter the bar code data using the keypad on the

top of the scanner.

• To enter numeric characters, press the number key on the keypad.

• To enter alpha characters, press the Mode key once to put the scanner in

Alpha Mode. Press the numeric key that contains the appropriate letter; press

once for the first letter, quickly twice for the second letter and quickly three

times for the third letter.

• To return to numeric mode, press the Mode key again.

The * key is a special key that can be programmed for custom specific operations.

For more information, see the System Administrator.

Quick Reference Guide 7

Host Communication

With some terminal types, the Phaser scanner is unable to answer host terminal

polls until the appropriate host type is selected. This may result in an error

message generated by the host computer. Contact the System Administrator for

assistance.

Aiming

Hold at an Angle

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly

back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. Specular

reflection can make decoding difficult.

The scanner can tilt up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode.

Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Scan the Entire Symbol

• The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol (as in the left

bar code below).

• Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

• Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

Beeper Indications

When one beep sounds (short high tone) it means data was decoded

successfully. If any other beeps sound, contact the technical person in charge of

scanning.

Troubleshooting

If the scanner does not work after following the operating instructions in this guide:

• check the system power.

• check that scanning is enabled.

• check that the battery is installed correctly.

• check for loose cable connections.

• ensure the Phaser scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code

scanned.

• check the symbol to ensure it is not defaced.

Cleaning

Wipe the scanner window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable

for cleaning optical material, such as eyeglasses.
