Chapter 1

Getting Started

The DuraLine™ 2D Imager marks a new performance level for hand-

held area imagers. They deliver aggressive read rates and depths of field

on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix codes. This aggressiveness applies even

in challenging reading environments where low lighting conditions and

poor quality might make it difficult to read bar codes. You can rest

assured your investment will continue to supply years of use by reading

any bar codes you require, now or in the future.

Designed for today’s demanding commercial and industrial environ-

ments, the scanner offers superior image quality, speed, durability, and

the ability to read poor quality bar codes. The unit is comfortable to

hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for the most demanding applica-

tions.

About This Manual

This Product Reference Guide (PRG) provides programming instruc-

tions for the imager, plus product specifications and dimensions. For

installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information,

see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of other publications for

this product are available on the CD included with the product, or

downloadable free of charge from the WASP website listed on the back

cover of this manual.

The imager is factory programmed for the most common terminal and

communications settings. If you need to change these settings, program-

ming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Manual Conventions

The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of

key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the PDA:

Resetting the Standard Product

Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or

you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan

the Standard Product Default Settings bar code below.

The chart Menu Commands, starting on page 11-6 lists the factory default

settings for each of the menu commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on

the following programming pages).

NOTE

Notes contain information necessary for prop-

erly diagnosing, repairing and operating the

PDA.

CAUTION

The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions

that could damage equipment or property.

Plug and Play

Product Reference Guide 1-3

Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant Imager set up for commonly

used interfaces.

Connecting the Imager with an RS-

232 Serial Port

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.

NOTE

After you scan one of the codes, power cycle

the host terminal to have the interface in effect.

NOTE

These instructions are for use with the RS-232

cable. This includes both Power Off the Termi-

nal (P.O.T.) and external power.

NOTE

For the imager to work properly, you must have

the correct cable for your type of terminal/com-

puter.

Getting Started

1-4 DuraLine™ 2D Imagers

3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer.

Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. If the terminal does not support Power Off the Terminal (P.O.T.)

connections plug the power supply into the host connector and the

AC outlet.

5. Once the imager has been fully connected, power up the com-

puter.

All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must

match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 pro-

tocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the imager for

an RS-232 interface at 38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,

and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

Connecting the Imager with USB

An Imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer.

1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the Imager and to the

computer.

NOTE

This interface applies to USB compatible mod-

els only.
