deliver high-end bar code reading performance at the lowest possible price. The scanner utilizes exceptional decoding technology. One-time settings are easily made by scanning set-up bar codes in this handy user's manual. The EconoScan enables quick contact scanning of bar codes up to 3.5 inches in length.At a scan rate of 150 scans per second, low-quality or damaged bar codes, as well as small or high-density bar codes, can be read with exceptional speed and accuracy. This rugged scanner contains no moving parts, yet it is exceptionally lightweight and designed to fit comfortably in the hand for extended periods of usage. The cable is detachable for easy replacement or theuse of multiple interfaces. The EconoScan has many settings that can be used to conform the unit to the requirements of a particular application. For most usages, however,the default settings programmed into the unit at the factory are appropriate.It is not recommended that the default settings be changed unless thereis a specific need to alter the characteristics of the scanner's performance. The EconoScan is easy to install and use. Many problems encountered can be attributed to a wrong setting that has been programmed into the scanner. Before troubleshooting the problem, try this: 1. Unplug the cable from the host computer. 2. Plug the cable back into the host computer. 3. Reset the scanner settings to DEFAULT (Group 1). If these steps do not resolve the problem, please refer to the troubleshooting table on the next page. If this fails to correct the problem, please consult the troubleshooting section beginning on page 59 for further assistance.

The scanner does not scan when the trigger is depressed. 1. Unplug the cable from the host computer. 2. Plug the cable back into the host computer. 3. Set the scanner to the correct interface. Thecable needs to match the interface. Most settings require only a single bar code , but a few need several different bar codes to be scanned in order to completely define a setting. They are: 1. Preamble, Postamble (Group 4) 2.Accuracy Adjustment (Group 5) 3. Customer ID Configuration (Groups 8 and 9) 4. Min/Max Length (Groups 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25) 5. ABC Codabar (Groups 22 and 23) 6. CX-Codabar (Groups 22 and 23) 7. Coupling Codabar (Groups 22 and 23) 8. EAN 128 (Group 31) 1. Follow the procedures for these settings at the appropriate pages. 2. The scanner will beep three times for an incomplete setting. 3. Scan RESET to try a setting again. The scanner is reading correctly, except for certain bar codes of a certain length Reset the Min/Max setting for the bar code symbology affected. The scanner appears to be working in the RS-232 interface, but no data is m being output. Ensure the correct RS-232 communication parameters have been set: Baud Rate, Handshaking, Stop Bits, Data Bits, andParity. These settings must be the same for both the scanner and the host.

CLONING duplicates a scanner's settings in other scanners. It can save time when a number of scanners must be programmed to the same settings. HOW SHOULD THE CLONING WORK? 1. Using this guide, make all the necessary settings for one scanner. 2. Scan the CLONING MODE bar code shown in Figure 1. 3. When CLONING MODE is scanned, all setup parameters will be converted to alphanumeric characters and shown on the monitor. 4. Using a bar code printer, print out all the setup parameters as Code-39 bar code labels. 5. Scan the printed labels sequentially with each scanner to be programmed. .A018$( Cloning Mode on PC/AT) - you can clone the settings to a PC/AT regardless what kind of device has been chosen on the scanner .

XXXX Stand for any String FORMAT OF CLONING FORMAT OF CLONING 4 NOTES: 1. All cloning strings are upper case. 2. All cloning strings printed on labels should be the same as those on the monitor sequentially from first to last. 3. Cloning mode works in Word Note Pad only. 4. Never edit the data on the first row (.A017$). It is an entry gate for cloning. 5. The cloning string's length can be adjusted by combining multiple strings into one, or by breaking one string to multiple strings starting from the second row after "....". Length must be in sequences of four, such as 4,8,12,16,20 (MAX). 6. Be sure to print the dots exactly where they are shown on the monitor.

59 GENERAL PROCEDURES KEYBOARD INTERFACES PROBLEMS. The EconoScan is simple to install and use. Most operational problems can be attributed to: INCORRECT INTERFACE CONNECTION INCORRECT CONFIGURATION SETUP POOR BAR CODE QUALITY 1. First, make sure the scanner is firmly connected to the host computer. When attached correctly, the scanner will emit one long beep. When the trigger is pressed, the LED will flash. 2. Once the power is on, try scanning some sample bar codes from this user's guide. The scanner should beep and the LED should flash to indicate a good read in the default configuration. If reading the bar code does not result in a good read, there may have been a problem with the scanning technique or the interface configuration setting. Reset the scanner to default. 3. If the scanner indicates a good read, check the cabling connections. In general, the Keyboard Wedge interface is trouble free, but there still are some things to check in the event of a problem. Do you have the correct cable? Most computers use an XT/AT-compatible keyboard. Be sure you have the proper cable for your computer.

Does keyboard port supply enough power ? Can your computer accept the data fast enough? INTERFACE PROBLEMS TROUBLE SHOOTING -- GROUP 44 -- 60 Since the keyed-in data from keyboard must pass through the decoder, the cabling connections are correct if the keyboard is functioning. Your computer's BIOS has a feature related to keyboard typing speed. Try to set the Intercharacter Delay feature to stimulate the keystroke entry speed. Most notebook computers do not supply enough power to the scanner. The symptom of insufficient power is a lower "good read" rate (since there is not enough power to properly support the scanning operation). Are you using the Wand Emulation mode with Code 39 output? If so, is your decoder set to accept Code 39 data? Check the scanner's configuration setting to make sure it can accept the bar code symbology you are trying to read. Although the cable seems to connect properly, does the scanner not send data to the host computer? There are no industrial standards for scanner interface cables, so even if they look alike and have similar connector, they might not be alike. For example, cables for Keyboard Wedge and Wand Emulation are similar, but they are not interchangeable due to different pin assignments. Be sure the cable you are using attaches correctly to the matching connector.

Is the proper symbology enabled? Sympton ---- The LED lighting is stuck ,and no function at all, even triggered the scanner Solution ----- Set the Scanner to Default condition, and choose the right interfaces CONFIGURATION SETUP TROUBLE SHOOTING -- GROUP 45 -- 61 Are you set up for the right interface? Did you select the Keyboard Wedge cable but set the scanner for RS-232 or Wand Emulation? Or did you change the Keyboard cable to RS-232 but forget to set the scanner interface to RS-232 as well? Set the scanner to its default settings, then selectthe correct interface based upon the cable and input you are using. Each bar code symbology can be individually enabled or disabled. It is suggested that you enable only those that you will be scanning, thereby eliminating the possibility of misreads from the scanning of other symbologies. Does the selected the bar code symbology configuration match the bar code(s) being read? Scanned data from each bar code symbology can be restricted to eliminate the scanning of unused symbologies. The restrictions are individually set for eachsymbology.

. LABELS ( PAPER & COLOR & PRINTER ) POOR BAR CODE QUALITY TROUBLE SHOOTING -- GROUP 46 -- 62 The third problem area has nothing to do with the scanner, but rather the printed quality of the bar code and/or the scanning tech nique employed. It is very difficult to get a good read from a poor quality bar code unless it is scanned many times. As the quality of the symbology drops, the chances for undetected error increase. A bar code Che ck Digit Verification (CDV) should be used to check the quality of the suspect bar codes. A bar code may have a tolerance. Normally, the tolerances are caused by bar code font software or a printer. Software with a proven reputation should be chosen to generate bar codes. If the printed bar codes are distorted, the scanner might not recognize them. The light source of a bar code scanner is generally red, so there are some restrictions for the printing of labels. Care should be taken when choosing materials, especially color inks and papers. Sometimes the combination of the label color and the color of the ink can , in effect, blind the scanner. Media with a shiny surface will also cause reading difficulties for scanners. Moreover, poor printing quality can also result in reading difficulties for the scanner. Bad printing may be caused by the type of printer used; dot matrix and inkjet printers will not produce high quality bar codes. Also check to make sure the ink, ribbon, or toner in good supply.
