that Software will be uninterrupted or defect error free; (iii) any non conformity
derived from unauthorized use, and/or improper installation or repair not in com-
pliance with Datalogic Product documentation. End User agrees that the existence

QuickScan™ QD2131
Description
With rich feature sets and extensive options, the QuickScan™
product series from Datalogic represents the premium level of
data collection equipment for general purpose applications.
Omni-
Directional
Operating
To read a symbol simply aim the reader and pull
the trigger. The QuickScan™ QD2131 reader is a
versatile linear imager, featuring a wide scanning
angle with an extended scanning line which is per-
fect for reading long and truncated bar codes.
Datalogic's exclusive patented `Green Spot' for
good-read feedback helps to improve productivity
in noisy environments or in situations where
silence is required.
Decoding
Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) bar codes,
including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes.
The data stream — acquired from decoding a sym-
bol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.

Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard
default features. After scanning the interface bar code from
the Interfaces section, select other options and customize
your reader through use of the programming bar codes avail-
able in the QuickScan QD2131 PRG. Check the corresponding
features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing
and Symbologies chapters of the PRG.
Using Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig-
ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the
Reset Default Settings on page 6, require only the scan of that
single label to enact the change.
Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program-
ming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar
code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the desired
parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code again to
accept your changes, which exits Programming Mode and
returns the reader to normal operation.
Configure Other Settings
Additional programming bar codes are available in the PRG to
allow for customizing programming features. If your installa-
tion requires different programming than the standard fac-
tory default settings, refer to the PRG.
Resetting Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your
reader, or you’ve changed some options and want your cus-
tom factory settings restored, scan the bar code below to
reset the reader to its initial configuration. Reference the PRG
for other options, and a listing of standard factory settings.
NOTE
Factory defaults are based on the interface type.
Be sure your reader is configured for the correct
interface before scanning this label. See "Select-
ing the Interface Type" on page 6 for more infor-
mation.

QuickScan™ QD2131
Selecting the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader
and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for
information and programming for the interface type the
reader 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.
Interface Selection
The reader model will support one of the following sets of
host interfaces:
General Purpose/ Retail Point of Sale Model — RS-232, USB
OEM, Keyboard.
Information and programming options for each interface type
are provided in this section. For defaults and additional infor-
mation associated with each interface, proceed to the corre-
sponding chapter in the QuickScan QD2131 PRG.
Configuring the Interface
Scan the appropriate programming bar code to select the
interface type for your system.
NOTE
Unlike some other programming features and
options, interface selections require that you
scan only one programming bar code label. DO
NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to
scan an interface selection bar code.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in
the disabled state when powered up. If addi-
tional scanner configuration is desired while
in this state, pull the trigger and hold for 5
seconds. The scanner will change to a state
that allows programming with bar codes.

Operating Modes
Scan Mode
The imager can operate in one of several scanning modes.
Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is acti-
vated until one of the following occurs:
•
a programmable duration1 has elapsed
•
a label has been read
•
the trigger is released
•
"maximum scan on time" is reached
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader opera-
tion.
Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning
starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, a
programmable duration 1 has elapsed or the "maximum scan
on time" is reached to make scanner off. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. "Double read"1 time-out prevents unde-
sired multiple reads while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple — Scanning begins when the trigger is
pulled and continues after the trigger is released until the
trigger is pulled again or until the "maximum scan on time" is
reached or a programmable duration1 has elapsed. Reading a
label does not disable scanning. "Double read"1 time-out pre-
vents undesired multiple reads.
Flashing — The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the
trigger status. Code reading takes place only during the flash
on time. "Double read"1 time-out prevents undesired multiple
reads.
Always On — The illuminator is always ON regardless of the
trigger status and the reader is always ready for code reading.
"Double read"1 time-out prevents undesired multiple reads.
Object Detection — In this mode
the scanner looks for scene changes within its field-of-view
to initiate read attempts. The Green Spot can be configured to
be on, to help the user to find the position of the reading line.
When an object’s presence is detected in the scene the illumi-
nator turns on and turns off the green spot. Scanning contin-
ues until the Object Gone Timeout expires after last read.
"Double read" timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads
while in this mode.
Trigger Object Sense — It is similar to Object Detection. A trig-
ger pull is required to activate the decoder.

LED and Beeper Indications
The reader’s beeper sounds and its top multi-colour LED illu-
minates to indicate various functions or errors on the reader.
An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The
following tables list these indications. One exception to the
behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are
programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For
example, certain indications such as the power-up beep can
be disabled using programming bar code labels.

Datalogic Limited Factory Warranty
Warranty Coverage
Datalogic warrants to Customer that Datalogic's products will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five years
from product shipment. Datalogic (“Datalogic”) hardware products
are warranted against defects in material and workmanship under
normal and proper use. The liability of Datalogic under this warranty
is limited to furnishing the labor and parts necessary to remedy any
defect covered by this warranty and restore the product to its normal
operating condition. Repair or replacement of product during the war-
ranty does not extend the original warranty term. Products are sold
on the basis of specifications applicable at the time of manufacture
and Datalogic has no obligation to modify or update products once
sold.
If Datalogic determines that a product has defects in material or
workmanship, Datalogic shall, at its sole option repair or replace the
product without additional charge for parts and labor, or credit or re-
fund the defective products duly returned to Datalogic. To perform re-
pairs, Datalogic may use new or reconditioned parts, components,
subassemblies or products that have been tested as meeting appli-
cable specifications for equivalent new material and products. Cus-
tomer will allow Datalogic to scrap all parts removed from the
repaired product. The warranty period shall extend from the date of
shipment from Datalogic for the duration published by Datalogic for
the product at the time of purchase (Warranty period). Datalogic war-
rants repaired hardware devices against defects in workmanship and
materials on the repaired assembly for a 90 day period starting from
the date of shipment of the repaired product from Datalogic or until
the expiration of the original warranty period, whichever is longer. Da-
talogic does not guarantee, and it is not responsible for, the mainte-
nance of, damage to, or loss of configurations, data, and applications
on the repaired units and at its sole discretion can return the units in
the “factory default” configuration or with any software or firmware
update available at the time of the repair (other than the firmware or
software installed during the manufacture of the product). Customer
accepts responsibility to maintain a back up copy of its software and
data.
Warranty Claims Process
In order to obtain service under the Factory Warranty, Customer must
notify Datalogic of the claimed defect before the expiration of the ap-
plicable Warranty period and obtain from Datalogic a return authori-
zation number (RMA) for return of the product to a designated
Datalogic service center. If Datalogic determines Customer’s claim is
valid, Datalogic will repair or replace product without additional
charge for parts and labor. Customer shall be responsible for packag-
ing and shipping the product to the designated Datalogic service cen-
ter, with shipping charges prepaid. Datalogic shall pay for the return
of the product to Customer if the shipment is to a location within the
country in which the Datalogic service center is located. Customer
shall be responsible for paying all shipping charges, duties, taxes, and
any other charges for products returned to any other locations. Fail-
ure to follow the applicable RMA policy, may result in a processing fee.
Customer shall be responsible for return shipment expenses for
products which Datalogic, at its sole discretion, determines are not
defective or eligible for warranty repair.
The Datalogic Factory Warranty shall not apply to:
(i)
any product which has been damaged, modified, altered,
repaired or upgraded by other than Datalogic service person-
nel or its authorized representatives;
(ii)
any claimed defect, failure or damage which Datalogic
determines was caused by faulty operations, improper use,
abuse, misuse, wear and tear, negligence, improper storage
or use of parts or accessories not approved or supplied by
Datalogic;
(iii)
any claimed defect or damage caused by the use of product
with any other instrument, equipment or apparatus;
(iv)
any claimed defect or damage caused by the failure to pro-
vide proper maintenance, including but not limited to clean-
ing the upper window in accordance with product manual;
(v)
any defect or damage caused by natural or man-made
disaster such as but not limited to fire, water damage, floods,
other natural disasters, vandalism or abusive events that
would cause internal and external component damage or
destruction of the whole unit, consumable items;
(vi)
any damage or malfunctioning caused by non-restoring
action as for example firmware or software upgrades, soft-
ware or hardware reconfigurations etc.;
(vii)
the replacement of upper window/cartridge due to scratch-
ing, stains or other degradation and/or
(viii) any consumable or equivalent (e.g., cables, power supply,
batteries, keypads, touch screen, triggers etc.).
No Assignment
Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obliga-
tions under this warranty except to a purchaser or transferee of prod-
uct. No attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this
provision shall be valid or binding upon Datalogic.
DATALOGIC'S LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WAR-
RANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WAR-
RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PUR-
POSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. DATALOGIC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY CUSTOMER ARISING FROM DE-
LAYS IN THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF PRODUCTS UNDER THE
ABOVE. THE REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT IS
THE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR WARRANTY
CLAIMS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL DATALOGIC BE LIABLE TO

INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL IN-DIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONTINGENT
DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DATALOGIC HAD ADVANCE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Risk of Loss

Datalogic. Datalogic shall assume risk of loss or damage for product
in Datalogic’s possession. In the absence of specific written instruc-
tions for the return of product to Customer, Datalogic will select the
carrier, but Datalogic shall not thereby assume any liability in connec-
tion with the return shipment.
