1 Introduction The Cobalto™ scanner (reader) delivers high performance in a small, fixed reader that can also be used as a targeted handheld scanner. Its innovative design maximizes productivity and mini- mizes operator stress, strain and fatigue. Operational Modes The scanner can easily adapt to either fixed/portable or targeted handheld scanning applications. The front scan window, with its multi-line scan pattern, is used for most retail items. By touching the top button, the reader emits a single targeted scan pattern for handheld scanning of hard to read or bulky items, or to read an individual bar code among many bar codes. Fixed Mode To use the scanner in Fixed Mode, seat it securely on the table. The reader can scan bar codes either in a Sweep or Presentation Mode to accommodate different user styles. To better adjust for your scanning needs, the scanner head can be tilted up or down. Figure 1. Scan Volume 1 3 2 5 4 1 Scan Volume 4 Touch Button 2 Scan Window 5 Head tilts up or down 3 Scan Depth 5 to 55mm (5mil)

Sweep Scanning Move (sweep) the product, with the bar code facing the scan win- dow. Optimal scanning distance is about 4.5 inches. Figure 2. Sweep Motion Presentation Scanning Face the bar code toward the center of the front scan window. Move the product with the bar code towards the scanner. Figure 3. Presentation Motion all-guid es.com

3 Portable Mode Take the scanner in your hand. Present (or sweep) the scanner to the bar code using the front scan window. Figure 4. Portable Mode Scanning Targeted Handheld Scanning 1. Take the scanner in your hand and touch the top button with the index finger to operate the single line functionality 2. Lift the reader and position the scan window over the prod- uct to be scanned. Figure 5. Targeted Handheld Scanning 3. Center the single scan line on the bar code to maximize read- ing capability. Small bar code labels should be moved closer to the scan window, while larger labels need to be held at a further distance. 4. To continue scanning in Targeted Handheld Mode, just keep the top touch button pressed. 1 2 1 Sweep Motion 2 Presentation Motion 2 1 1 Touch Button 2 Targeting Scan Line

Please view the labels on your product for actual details. Figure 6.

Quick Reference Guide 5 Touch Button The touch button located on top of the head causes the scanner to enter Targeted Handheld Mode. In this mode, the reader scans bar codes with a single scan line. Releasing the touch button returns the scanner to the Fixed/ Portable Scanning Mode. Pressing and releasing the touch button will also wake up the scanner, if it has entered Standby Mode, and return it to normal operation. Visual Indicator The LED region encircling the touch button performs several indi- cations: • On blue – Indicates that the scanner is operational and ready to scan. • Flashes once green when the scanner has read a bar code to indicate a successful read. This is usually accompanied by a good read tone (or “jingle”) from the speaker. • When illumination turns off and the top green LED turns off, this indicates the scanner is in Standby Mode due to an extended period of inactivity. • Flashing green repeatedly, accompanied by a series of tones indicates a failure has occurred. Contact your ser- vice personnel. Speaker The speaker also indicates scanner functions: • Normal Tone – A single tone when the scanner reads a bar code indicates a good read. • Passed Selftest – A series of four tones are emitted when power is first applied to the scanner. This indicates the scanner passed the Selftest and is operating properly. • Error Tone – The speaker sounds a series of tones alert- ing the operator of a possible system or component fail- ure. If your scanner exhibits this behavior or behaves erratically, contact your service personnel. Ring of Light The ring of light is illuminated with an attractive blue color during normal operation. It flashes green when the scanner has read a bar code, indicating a good read.

6 CobaltoTM CO5300 Scanner Setting Up the Scanner Follow the steps below to connect and get your scanner up and communicating with its host. 1. Connect the Cable to the scanner and the Host as shown in Figure 7. 2. Configure the Interface (see Selecting the Interface Type on page 8). 3.

Quick Reference Guide 7 Connecting to the Host Interface The scanner is connected to the host interface in one of the fol- lowing ways: USB Keyboard Wedge RS-232 all-guid es.com

8 CobaltoTM CO5300 Scanner Selecting the Interface Type Upon completing the physical connection between the scanner and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for information and programming for the interface type the scanner is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate bar code to select your system’s correct interface type, according to your application. For additional interfaces other than those listed in this manual, see the Product Reference Guide (PRG) for this product, available online at www.datalogic.com. USB Interface The scanner attaches directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required. When using a USB interface, the scanner auto-detects the USB and defaults to the USB Keyboard interface. Select USB-COM-STD1 (simulates RS-232 standard interface) Select USB Keyboard (with standard key encoding) Select USB Alternate Keyboard (with alternate key encoding) Select USB OEM 1. Download the correct USB Com driver from www.datalogic.com.
