interface.

Scanner

USB interface cable

 Leave an interval of ten seconds or more between removing and inserting the USB connector as it may take anywhere up
to approximately ten seconds for the computer to recognize or delete the USB device.
 The USB connector can be removed or inserted even if the computer is on. However, do not remove or insert the USB
connector in any of the following instances.
- While the computer is on standby (suspended)
 Do not insert or remove other USB devices while the scanner is processing the connection.
 Connect the scanner directly to the USB port of the computer itself or a self-powered hub. In some instances connection
may not be possible, depending on the type of hub. If the operation is unstable, connect the scanner directly to the USB
port of the computer itself.
 Do not extend the cable.

3.2.1 Setting Up the USB-COM Interface

The Active USB-COM port driver supplied by DENSO WAVE must be installed on the computer in order to use the scanner
with the USB-COM interface. This driver can be downloaded from our website “QBdirect” free of charge. For supply in CD
media format, please contact us at the details given in the introduction.
http://www.qbdirect.net
The downloaded file is compressed. Extract the files before use.
For the latest information, refer to the manual that comes with the driver.
Note: If parameters are set in the USB keyboard interface, it will be necessary to switch to the USB-COM interface using
the procedure described in Section 2.1. (Factory settings: Set to USB keyboard interface).

Precautions for Installation and Use of the Active USB-COM Port Driver
 Have a user with administrator privileges install the driver.
 Microsoft has not issued a digital signature for this driver. Using the driver signature options and local policy security
options, take steps to ensure that installation of a driver without signature is not blocked.
 Although the USB device can be removed or inserted during communication (while the COM port is open), any data
communicated during removal of the USB device will be lost.
 Even if the USB device has been removed, the port continues to function as a virtual serial port and therefore has a
permanent COM port number.
 This driver cannot be used concurrently with existing USB-COM device drivers. You will be asked to uninstall any
existing USB-COM device drivers when installing this driver.
 If this driver is installed multiple times on a single PC, multiple units of this USB device can be used, however it is not
possible to uninstall these drivers individually. All of the drivers will be uninstalled in a single batch.

Installation Procedures
For the installation procedures, please refer to the Active USB-COM Port Driver Installation Guide that comes with the
downloaded driver.

3.2.2 Setting Up the USB Keyboard Interface

A USB class driver “HID (Human Interface Devices)” is used to communicate using the USB keyboard interface. This driver
is included in the Windows system files.
Note: If the scanner is set to the USB-COM interface, follow the procedures in Section 2.1 to switch to the USB keyboard
interface. (Factory settings: Set to USB-COM interface)
Connect the scanner USB interface cable to the USB port of the computer itself or USB hub.
For the following we will explain using examples from Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows Vista procedures.

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista

(1) Turn on the computer and activate Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows Vista, and log in as a user with administrator
privileges.
(2) Connect the USB interface cable of the scanner to the computer or USB hub.

(3) The message, “Installing device driver software” is displayed on

the taskbar at the lower right of the screen.
Scanner recognition will be automatic. Once the scanner has
been recognized the message will disappear.

(4) To check whether the USB device has been installed correctly,
go to the “Device Manager” screen.
If “USB input device” has been added under the “Human
Interface Devices” menu item, the scanner has been connected
correctly.
Reconnect the scanner if this item has not been added, or if a
or mark is displayed.

Chapter 4 Scanning Method
(1) Pull the trigger switch to illuminate the scanning window illumination lights; the scanner is now in the Active state.
(If the trigger switch mode is in momentary switching mode (reverse type), release the trigger switch. This operation is
not necessary if the trigger switch mode is set to continuous reading modes 1 or 2, or auto sensing mode.)
(2) Align the center of the illumination lights with the center of the barcode; when the illumination lights cover the entire
barcode, the barcode can be scanned.

(3) Once the code has been scanned correctly, the indicator LED will illuminate in blue, the beeper will sound and the unit
will vibrate.

Note: Typical scanning distance is approximately 10 cm.

Note: Ensure that the barcode is as flat as possible.
Note: The scanner may not be able to scan in direct sunlight or in extremely bright locations.
Note: The scanner is able to scan barcodes that are back to front.
Note: The scanner may not be able to scan codes contained in plastic bags.
In this situation, remove the barcode from the bag before scanning.
Note: When the trigger switch is in continuous reading mode 1 or 2, or auto sensing mode, or, when the trigger switch
is released in momentary switching mode (reverse type), to scan the same barcode twice or more in a row, move
the barcode scanning window a sufficient distance away from the scanned barcode for approximately one second
before scanning the next barcode.
Note: The duration of double scan prevention can be set using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).
Note: Depending on the scanner illumination light, the room lighting, and the label angle, the light reflected off the
label may become exceedingly strong in places, creating a specular effect that prevents code scanning. To resolve
this issue, change the angles and/or distance of the label and scanner.

 Scanning Mode

Regular scanning mode The data is transferred once the code has been read correctly.

Data verification mode The data of the code that has been scanned is compared with that of the registered code
to verify whether they match.
Refer to Section 8.1 for details.

8
Chapter 5 Parameter Settings
With this scanner, communication, code types and other parameters can be set using one of two methods, the bar-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting).* The set parameter values will be retained even after the
scanner is turned off.

(1) Parameters can be set by pulling the trigger switch and reading the barcode for parameter setting (bar-coded parameter
menu).
(For details on the bar-coded parameter menu, refer to Chapter 12.)

(2) Parameters can be set through the computer using the configuration software (ScannerSetting)*
Configuration software can be operated via the RS-232C interface or USB-COM interface. If parameters are set in the
USB keyboard interface, it will be necessary to switch to the USB-COM interface.
(To do this, you will need to use the bar-coded parameter menu to change the interface to the USB-COM interface, and
install the Active USB-COM port driver supplied by DENSO WAVE. Refer to Section 3.2.1.)

It is possible to generate a batch setting barcode with the configuration software, and set parameters by reading it with
the scanner. Batch setting barcodes can be read using any of the following interfaces: the RS-232C interface, USB-COM
interface or the USB keyboard interface.

* The configuration software (ScannerSetting) can be downloaded from our website “QBdirect” free of charge by registered
users.

Chapter 6 Scanning Control
Scanning can be controlled through two different methods, “scanning using the trigger switch” (Section 6.1), or “scanning
using software control” (Section 6.2).
“Scanning using the trigger switch” enables the user to scan by operating the trigger switch. (Excludes continuous reading
modes 1 and 2)
With “scanning using software control,” the trigger switch is not pulled, rather control commands for Active state, Ready
state etc. are sent from a computer or other control device. “Scanning using software control” cannot be utilized when the
USB keyboard interface is selected.
In addition to these, auto sensing mode (includes auto stand mode) can also be used (refer to Section 6.3).

6.1 Scanning Using the Trigger Switch

Pulling the trigger switch illuminates the illumination light and puts the scanner in the Active state. The six types of trigger
switch operation modes are as follows: Using the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting),
select the operation mode in accordance with your needs.

(1) Auto-off Mode

The scanner enters the Active state when the trigger switch is pulled. Two settings for the duration of the Active state,
“normal” and “one shot,” are available. Make a selection in the configuration software (ScannerSetting).
- Normal
The scanner automatically returns to the Ready state when scanning is successfully completed, or after approximately five
seconds have elapsed with the trigger switch pulled.
If the trigger switch is released before five seconds have elapsed, the scanner returns to the Ready state.
- One shot
The scanner only remains in the Active state for the one shot setting duration once the trigger switch is pulled.
The one shot setting duration can be set using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

(2) Momentary Switching Mode

The scanner enters the Active state only while the trigger switch is pulled, and returns to the Ready state when the trigger
switch is released.

(3) Momentary Switching Mode (Reverse type)

The scanner enters the Ready state only while the trigger switch is pulled, and returns to the Active state when the trigger
switch is released.

(4) Alternate Switching Mode

The scanner switches between the Active state and the Ready state every time the trigger switch is pulled.

(5) Continuous Reading Mode 1

When turned on, the scanner illumination light comes on and the scanner goes into the Active state. All trigger switch
functions are ignored.
The scanner enters the Ready state when it receives a “Z”, “READOFF” or “LOFF” command, and enters the Active state
when it receives an “R”, “READON”, “LON” or “RC” command.
Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), the user can select whether to send an “ERROR” command or
<CAN>(18h) to the host unit when the scanner enters the Ready state after failing to complete the scan while in Active state.

10
(6) Continuous Reading Mode 2
Similar to continuous reading mode 1.
The difference between this and continuous reading mode 1 is that the scanner enters standby state when scanning is complete.
The difference between this and continuous reading mode 1 is that the scanner enters standby state when scanning is complete.
To return to the Active state, the scanner must first receive a “Z”, “READOFF” or “LOFF” command and enter the Ready
state, and then receive an“R”, “READON” or “LON” command.
Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), the user can select whether or not a Ready state “Z”, “READOFF” or
“LOFF” command is necessary.
Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), the user can select whether to send an “ERROR” command or
<CAN>(18h) to the host unit when the scanner enters the Ready state after failing to complete the scan while in Active state.

Note: The scanner will enter the auto-off mode regardless of the trigger switch settings while parameters are being set
in the bar-coded parameter menu.
Note: <CAN>(18) cannot be displayed on the host with a USB keyboard interface.

11
6.2 Scanning Using Software Control
Instead of pulling the trigger switch to carry out scanning operations, these are carried out via the RS-232C interface or
USB-COM interface from a computer or other control device.
These software control commands are affected by the trigger switch operation mode as shown in the table below. (Refer to
Appendix 2 Control Commands for detailed control commands.)

12
6.3 Scanning through Automatic Label Recognition
In auto sensing mode (including auto sensing operation in auto stand mode) there is no need to operate the trigger switch;
approach the scanner with the code and the illumination light comes on making scanning available. This mode is used when
the scanner is sitting in the stand and the codes are brought up to the scanner for scanning.
The illumination light comes on when the codes are brought within the scanning field, or codes within the field are moved. If
a code is removed from the scanning field or codes within the scanning field are not moved for approximately three seconds,
the illumination light will go out.
In auto stand mode, the scanner operates in auto sensing mode after the power is turned on.
If the trigger switch is pulled during auto-sensing operation, the scanner enters auto-off mode and scanning can be carried out
using trigger switch operations. Switching from auto-off mode to auto sensing mode can be done manually or automatically,
and the preferred option can be selected in configuration software (ScannerSetting).
- Manual
If the trigger switch is pulled three times within approximately one second while the scanner is operating in auto-off mode,
the scanner switches to auto sensing mode.

- Automatic
The scanner automatically returns to the auto sensing mode when, after switching to auto-off Ready state, the trigger switch
is not pulled for longer than the time specified for the scanner to return to the auto sensing mode.
The auto sensing return timing can be set using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).
Auto sensing mode and auto stand mode can be selected using the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software
(ScannerSetting).
The level of sensitivity of the scanner to the code can be set to “high,” “medium,” or “low.” For example, if the illumination
light is slow to come on when the code is brought up to the scanner, set the code sensitivity level to “high.” Select the
sensitivity level in the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

Note: Even if there is no code in the scanning field, the illumination light may come on if the brightness of the room
changes or if shadows in the scanning field move.
Note: Ambient illumination of 500Lx or more is necessary for auto sensing mode to work properly.

Chapter 7 Magic Key
The magic key can be used as an auxiliary key for scanning or data transfer. The six types of magic key operation mode are as
follows: It is also possible to select to ignore this setting. Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), select the
function that best suits your needs.

(1) Data retransfer mode

The scanner resends data previously sent each time the magic key is pressed.
Data sent previously will not be resent if it is cleared by turning off the power after a code is scanned.
(2) Scanning active/ready switching mode
Toggles between Ready state and Active state every time the magic key is pressed when the trigger switch operation
mode is in continuous reading mode 1 or 2.
If the error message for scan failure is enabled, the “ERROR” command or <CAN>(18h) is sent to the host when the
scanner switches from the Active state to the Ready state without completing a scan.
(3) Illumination switching mode
Turns the illumination lights on or off every time the magic key is pressed.
However, even if the magic key is pressed and the illumination lights come on, the scanner will not enter Active state.
Pull the trigger switch to enter the Active state.
(4) Auto sensing mode switching mode
Toggles the scanner between the auto sensing mode and the currently selected trigger switch mode every time the
magic key is pressed.The trigger switch mode cannot be changed by any command or the bar-coded parameter menu
while using this function.
(5) Continuous reading mode switching mode
Toggles the scanner between the continuous reading mode 1 and the currently selected trigger switch operation mode
every time the magic key is pressed.The trigger switch mode cannot be changed by any command or the bar-coded
parameter menu while using this function.
(6) Specific character transfer mode
Sends characters (max. 10 bytes) specified using the configuration software (ScannerSetting) every time the magic key
is pressed.
(7) Not assigned
No function has been assigned to the magic key. Pressing the magic key does not affect the operation of the scanner.

Note: <CAN>(18) cannot be displayed on the host with a USB keyboard interface.

14
(8) The table below illustrates the relationship between magic key operation modes and trigger switch operation modes.
(Identical for regular scanning mode and data verification mode.) An × in the table below indicates that the magic key
operation mode is deactivated. For example, even if the scanning active/ready switching mode has been set on the
magic key, it will be ignored while in auto-off mode.

The magic key also has the following functions. These functions are independent of the above magic key operation function.
Master code registration
This function is enabled when data verification mode and “n-point verification” are set.
Pressing the magic key for approximately two seconds when in data verification mode (refer to Section 8.1) causes the
indicator LED to illuminate in green, indicating that the master code has been registered. Codes read while the magic key is
held down will become master codes.

Scan lock release

Pressing the magic key releases the Ready state set by the scan lock function (refer to Section 8.1.3) in the data verification
mode.
If the scanner enters the Ready state set by the scan lock function, the above magic key functions are ignored until the scan
lock is released by pressing the magic key.

Interface switching
Switches the interface mode to whichever interface is not used by the scanner when the scanner is turned on while the magic
key is held down.
The indicator LED illuminates in blue if the interface is changed to the USB-COM interface, and orange if changed to the
USB keyboard interface.
The new interface setting will be retained even after the scanner is turned off.
This function can be enabled and disabled using the configuration software (ScannerSetting). It is enabled by default.

15
Chapter 8 Scanning Function
8.1 Data Verification Mode
When placed in data verification mode, the data of the code that has been scanned is compared with that of the master data to
verify whether they match.
Two data verification modes, “n-point verification” and “2-point verification,” are available. Make a selection in the
configuration software (ScannerSetting).
When “n-point verification” is selected, master data is registered once and then 1:n verification is performed to verify any
codes scanned subsequently against this master data.
“2-point verification” is a 1:1 verification: once master data is registered and the scanner has compared a scanned code with
this, the scanner enters standby state awaiting new master data registration. In this way, the scanner repeatedly alternates
between master data registration and code scanning.
Master data registration methods: for “n-point verification” master data can be registered through “preset master registration”
or “master scanning registration”; for “2-point verification” registration is only available through “master scanning
registration”. With “preset master registration,” master data is registered in advance using the configuration software
(ScannerSetting). For “master scanning registration,” master data is registered by scanning the master code label.
Registered master data can be outputted to the host by scanning the “master data output” code (refer to Section 8.1.3),
regardless of which of the above registration methods is used.
Parameters related to verification scanning can be set using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

8.1.1 Data Verification Scanning Procedures

 n-Point Verification
Preset Master Registration
Preset master registration is only available in the n-point verification mode. Register the “code type” and “the portion of data
to be verified” using the configuration software (ScannerSetting). Up to 99 digits of data can be registered.
The registered master data will be retained even after the scanner is turned off. To clear the registered data, use the
configuration software (ScannerSetting) and clear the master data registered in the host computer, and download the newly
configured data to the scanner.
Master Registration
1) Switch the scanner to the data verification mode.
2) Press the magic key for approximately two seconds, or send the scan entry control command “E” from the host computer to
the scanner (refer to Appendix 2 for control commands), and the indicator LED illuminates in green. The indicator LED
illuminates in green.
3) Scan and register the code to be used as master data. (Scan the code with the procedure for the trigger switch operation
mode selected.) The indicator LED will briefly illuminate in blue after master data is registered, and then go out.
4) Scan a code to verify. The scanner outputs the verification result after verifying the scanned data against the registered
master data. The indicator LED illuminates in blue when the scanner has scanned a code successfully.

When registering the master data, an error occurs if the data read does not meet the number of characters of the registered
verification data, such as when the number of digits is less than the specified verification starting position.
“Master scanning registration” can be carried out even if a “preset master registration” exists. In this case, the number of
digits registered in the “preset master registration” is used as the verification digit number, and the data registered in the
“master scanning registration” is used as the verification content.
Registered master data is outputted to the host when the “master data output" code (refer to Section 8.1.3) is read.

Note: Control commands cannot be utilized when the USB keyboard interface is selected.
Note: Registered master data will be cleared in the following instance.
・ If parameter settings are changed using the configuration software (ScannerSetting) or batch setting barcode.
Note: Master codes can be registered an unlimited number of times. The last code to be scanned is the master data.
Note: If master data registration using “preset master registration” or “master scanning registration” fails, the indicator
LED will flash in red. Code scanning is not available while the light is flashing.
16
 2-Point Verification
Master Registration
1) Switch the scanner to the data verification mode. The indicator LED illuminates in green.
2) Scan and register the code to be used as master data. (Scan the code with the procedure for the trigger switch operation
mode selected.) The indicator LED will briefly illuminate in blue after master data is registered, and then go out.
3) Scan a code to verify. The scanner outputs the verification result after verifying the scanned data against the registered
master data.
When the scanner has scanned a code successfully, the indicator LED illuminates in blue before changing to green
indicating that it is in standby state awaiting new master data registration.

When registering the master data, an error occurs if the data read does not meet the number of characters of the registered
verification data, such as when the number of digits is less than the specified verification starting position. If an error occurs,
the scanner will return to the master data registration standby state.

* “Reverification attempt after NG judgment” in 2-point verification

2-point verification is provided with a “Reverification attempt after NG judgment” function to attempt reverification against
the same master data if the result of the data verification is a mismatch (NG judgment). If the reverification attempt function is
enabled using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), the scanner will remain in code scanning standby state until
verification succeeds. When this function is disabled (default), the scanner will return to the master data registration standby
state after a single scan, regardless of the verification result.

Note: Registered master data will be cleared in the following instance.

- When the scanner is turned off
- If parameter settings are changed using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), batch setting barcode or
bar-coded parameter menu.
Note: The verification range can be set to either “code type + code data” or “code data only” in the configuration
software (ScannerSetting).

17
8.1.2 Designating Targets for Data Verification

When designating a data verification target, “data string” or “data block” can be selected. “Data string” refers to a data area
specified by the verification start position and the number of verification digits. “Data block” refers to a CSV formatted data
block separated by commas.

(1) Data String Verification

The scanner compares data specified by the verification start position and the number of verification digits with the master
data registered in the scanner, and then outputs the result.
The verification start position can be set from 1 to 999, and the number of verification digits can be set from 1 to 99*.
(*The scanning digit numbers for Code 39, Codabar (NW-7) must be set and include the start-stop code.)

A mismatch occurs in the following instances:

1) The data in the specified area does not match the master data.
2) The code types do not match the master data (refer to the notes below).
3) There is missing data or no data in the specified area.
Example:
Master data Verification Number of Scanned data (for Verification
start position verificatio verification) result
n digits
345 3 3 00345 Match
345 3 3 00345678 Match
345 3 3 00346 Mismatch
345 3 3 0034 Mismatch

(2) Data Block Verification

The scanner compares the CSV formatted data block separated by commas with the registered master data, and then outputs
the result.
The verification data block position can be set from 1 to 99.
A mismatch occurs in the following instances:
1) The data in the specified block does not match the master data.
2) The code types do not match the master data (refer to the notes below).
3) There is missing data or no data in the specified block.
4) The number of digits in the block for verification exceeds 99.
Example:
Scanned data (for
Verification data Verification
Master data verification)
block position result

345 3 0,12,345,6789 Match

345 3 0,12,346,6789 Mismatch
345 3 0,12,3456,6789 Mismatch
345 3 0,12,34,6789 Mismatch
345 3 0,12 Mismatch

Note: Only Type 1 code type verification judgment is carried out regardless of the code mark type setting in the
configuration software (ScannerSetting). (Refer to Section 10.4)

18
8.1.3 Verification Result Output

(1) Verification Result Based Data Output

One of the following three data output patterns can be selected in the configuration software (ScannerSetting) for each of the
two possible results, “verification matched” and “verification mismatched”.
No output will occur if “Transfer disabled” is selected.

Verification matched Verification mismatched

1 Transfer disabled Transfer disabled
2 Code data transfer enabled Code data transfer enabled
3 OK transfer enabled NG transfer enabled

(2) Confirmation via Beeper, Indicator LED, Vibrator

A match or mismatch verification result can be confirmed with the buzzer, indicator LED and vibrator.
The table below indicates the scanner operation when the beeper, indicator LED and vibrator are enabled.

Vibrator
Vibration Vibration
Beeper Indicator LED enabled for OK enabled for NG
result result

Verification matched Short beep Blue light Vibration -

Verification mismatched Long beep Red light - Vibration

(3) Scan Lock Release

The scan lock is a function used to lock the scanner in the Ready state if a mismatch occurs. Select using the configuration
software (ScannerSetting).
Once the scanner enters this state, the scanner stays in the Ready state regardless of trigger switch control, and ignores any
subsequent trigger switch pulls and commands to enable Active state (R, READON, LON).
To release the scan lock, press the magic key or turn off the scanner.

Output of Registered Master Data

Read the barcode below to output both the master data verification part registered through the data verification reading
procedures and the code mark.

8.2 Data Edit Mode
The scanned code data can be edited and output in the following modes: “Data extraction mode,” “data conversion mode” and
“block sorting mode.” These data editing modes can be set using the configuration software (ScannerSetting). The default
mode is “non-edit mode”.

8.2.1 Data Extraction Mode

The scanner extracts a portion of the scanned data for output. Three types of data extraction modes are available: “Data string
extraction mode,” “data block extraction mode,” and “AI (Application Identifier) extraction mode”. “Data block extraction
mode” can be utilized with CSV formatted data block separated by commas. “AI extraction” can be utilized with GS1-128
and GS1 DataBar.

8.2.1.1 Data String Extraction Mode

The scanner extracts the portion of data specified by the “extraction start position” and “extraction end position” from the
code specified in the parameter “code type” and outputs it in the specified data transmission format (refer to Section 10.4).

8.3 Black-and-white Inverted Code Scanning

The scanner can scan black-and-white inverted barcodes. Use the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to switch between
normal barcode scanning only and normal/inverted barcode auto detect scanning.
However, auto detect scanning may take longer than normal barcode scanning.
A black-and-white inverted barcode requires a black level margin equal to or exceeding the standard barcode margin around
the barcode symbol.

33
Chapter 9 Beeper, Indicator LED, Vibrator, Power Saver
9.1 Beeper
(1) Beeper Sound
The beeper emits a single or multiple long or short beeps according to the various conditions.

The beeper emits a short beep when

- the code has scanned successfully,

- the master data has been registered successfully in “data verification mode,”
- the scanned code data matches the master data in “data verification mode,”
- a transfer has been successfully completed with magic key “data retransfer” or “specific character transfer,”
- a barcode scanned with “data edit” conforms to data editing conditions,
- a “Setting commencement” or “Setting completion” code is read (three beeps), or a parameter setting code is read (one beep)
while implementing settings in the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12),
- the configuration software (ScannerSetting) starts, or configuration changes take effect (three beeps),
- a batch setting barcode generated in the configuration software is scanned (three beeps).

Note: The configuration software (ScannerSetting) can be used to adjust the beeper time to three levels for short beeps.

The beeper emits a long beep when

- the code data scanned in “data verification mode” does not match the master data,
- there is no previous scanning data when using magic key “data retransfer,”
- a barcode scanned with “data edit” does not conform to data editing conditions and scanned data cannot be sent,
- a master code digit number error has occurred during master data registration,
- a code other than a parameter setting code is scanned during parameter setting using the bar-coded parameter menu,
- parameters are not successfully set in the bar-coded parameter menu
- a transmission error or timeout occurred when the scanner was communicating with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting),
- a communication error has occurred, or
- an invalid control command is received.

Use the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to enable/disable the beeper sound when the scanner is turned on (Default:
disabled). The beeper tone cannot be changed.
Beeper sound can be disabled using the bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting). In the
following instances, however, the beeper sounds regardless of that beeper setting:
- when the scanner is customized with the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12),
- when the scanner receives a beeper-ON command from the host computer,
- when the configuration software starts, or configuration changes take effect,
- when the scanner scans a batch setting barcode,
- when the parameter values are saved by a PW command (refer to Appendix 2),

34
(2) Beeper Volume
Use the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting) to adjust the beeper volume to three levels -
high, medium and low.
Each time the “Beeper volume” barcode is read, the beeper volume cycles as shown below.
High Medium Low

The final setting will be retained even after the scanner is turned off.
(Factory settings: High)

(3) Beeper tone

Use the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to adjust the beeper volume to three levels.
Low: 2.5 kHz, Medium: 3.0 kHz, High: 3.5 kHz
(Factory settings: Set to “Medium”)
The final setting will be retained even after the scanner is turned off.
(4) Operation timing of the successful scan completion beeper and indicator LED
Use the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to switch the operation timing of the scan completion beeper and indicator
LED (blue) between “Before data transfer” and “After data transfer.”
“Before data transfer”: Sounds the beeper and illuminates the indicator LED (blue) when a barcode is scanned
successfully. Has no relationship to the result of data transfer.
“After data transfer”: Sounds the beeper and illuminates the indicator LED (blue) when data has been sent successfully
after a barcode scan is completed.
(Factory settings: Set to “Before data transfer”)

35
9.2 Indicator LED
The indicator LED illuminates or flashes in blue, green, red or orange as described below.

The indicator LED illuminates in blue when:

- the code has scanned successfully,

- the scanner commences or completes reading from the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12),
- when the parameter values are saved by a PW command (refer to Appendix 2),
- the scanned code matches the master data in “data verification mode,”
- the master data has been registered successfully in “data verification mode,”
- scanner has been switched to trigger switch operation mode with the auto sensing mode switching function
- scanner has been switched to trigger switch operation mode with the continuous reading mode switching function
- the scanner has been turned on while holding the magic key down and switched to the USB-COM interface.

The indicator LED illuminates in green when:

- a transfer has been completed with the data retransfer function,

- when a transfer has been successfully completed with the specific character transfer function, or
- the scanner is in master data registration standby state in the data verification mode.

The indicator LED illuminates in red when:

- an invalid control command is received.

- the scanner has failed to edit read data,
- the code scanned in “data verification mode” does not match the master data,
- a digit number error has occurred during master data registration in “data verification mode,”
- a transfer cannot be performed with the data retransfer function,
- the magic key is pressed while the scanning active/ready switching function is assigned to it and is disabled due to the
trigger switch operation mode being set to something other than continuous reading mode 1 or 2 with a control command
(refer to Appendix 2),
- the scan lock is enabled,
- the scanner has failed to save the set parameter values specified with the configuration software (ScannerSetting), bar-coded
parameter menu, or control commands,
- a code other than a parameter setting code is scanned during parameter setting using the bar-coded parameter menu,
- a communication error or communication timeout occurs while setting parameters with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting),
- the trigger switch is pulled when the trigger switch control is deactivated, or
- the magic key is pushed when the magic key control is deactivated.

The indicator LED flashes in red when:

- the master data has not been registered successfully in “data verification mode”.

The indicator LED alternates between blue and orange when:

- the trigger switch operation mode is switched with the magic key auto sensing mode switching function, or
- the trigger switch operation mode is switched with the magic key continuous reading mode switching function.

36
The indicator LED illuminates in orange when:

- the scanner has been turned on while the magic key is held down and has switched to the USB keyboard interface.

The indicator LED can be disabled using the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting). In any of
the following cases, however, the indicator LED illuminates regardless of that setting.
- when the scanner is customized with the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12),
- when the scanner receives an indicator LED-ON command (LB, LG or LR) from the host computer (refer to Appendix 2),
- when the configuration software starts, or configuration changes take effect,
- when the scanner scans a batch setting barcode,
- when the parameter values are saved by a PW command (refer to Appendix 2),
- when the scanner is in entry mode (refer to control command “E” in Appendix 2),
- during master data registration and when master data registration has successfully completed,
- when an error occurs during master data registration,
- when scanned code data does not match, when scan lock is enabled, or when master data has not been registered
successfully in “data verification mode,”
- when a transfer has been successfully completed with the data retransfer function or there is no previous scanned data when
attempting retransfer,
- when a transfer has been successfully completed with the specific character transfer function,
- when the magic key is pressed while the scanning active/ready switching function is assigned to it and is disabled due to the
trigger switch operation mode being set to something other than continuous reading mode 1 or 2 with a control command
(refer to Appendix 2),
- the scanner has failed to save the set parameter values specified with the configuration software (ScannerSetting), bar-coded
parameter menu, or control commands,
- the trigger switch is pulled when the trigger switch control is deactivated,
- the magic key is pushed when the magic key control is deactivated, or
- a hardware error has occurred.

37
9.3 Vibrator
Use the bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to select whether the scanner will vibrate
when an “OK” action occurs or when the action is “NG”. There are settings for disabling vibrator operation.

If OK vibration is enabled, the scanner will vibrate when:

- the scanned data has been transferred successfully,

- the scanned code data matches the master data in “data verification mode,”

- the master data has been registered successfully in “data verification mode,”

- a transfer has been successfully completed with the specific character transfer function or data retransfer function,

- a “Setting commencement” code, “Setting completion” code or parameter setting code is read from the bar-coded parameter
menu,

- the configuration process using the configuration software (ScannerSetting) is commenced or terminated, or

- a batch setting barcode created in the configuration software is read.

If NG vibration is enabled, the scanner will vibrate when:

- a digit number error has occurred during master data registration in “data verification mode,”

- the code data scanned in “data verification mode” does not match the master data,

- the data cannot be sent due to CTS=Low error,

- an ACK response is not issued in ACK/NAK mode,

- an invalid control command is received (refer to Appendix 2),

- there is no previous scanning data when resending data, or

- a communication error or communication timeout occurs while setting parameters with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting).

Note: We recommend that you disable vibration when using your scanner fixed to a stand.

9.4 Power Saver

The scanner can enter the Sleep state from the Ready state. The scanner's power consumption decreases in the Sleep state.
Commencement of scanning from the sleep state will take approximately 0.1 seconds longer than commencement from the
Ready state.
The timing from which the scanner switches from the Ready state to the Sleep state can be set using the configuration
software (ScannerSetting). This feature can also be disabled.

38
Chapter 10 Communication
10.1 RS-232C Interface
When the RS-232C interface is selected, communication is via an asynchronous serial interface at RS-232C signal levels.
Use the bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to set the communications conditions.
Scanned data can be transmitted to external devices or computers in the following formats.

(1) Communication Procedures

Select either Non-acknowledge mode or ACK/NAK mode.

Non-acknowledge mode (default)

Scanned data is sent when CTS signal transmission is enabled.
Note: Use the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to set the CTS signal monitoring timing to a figure between 100ms
and 9.9s (at intervals of 100ms).

ACK/NAK mode
When CTS signal transmission is enabled, scanned data is sent and then processed according to the response from the
computer, etc.
ACK: Normal completion
NAK: Retry
Note: Use the configuration software (ScannerSetting) to set the CTS signal monitoring timing and ACK/NAK response
confirmation timing to a figure between 100ms and 9.9s (at intervals of 100ms).

(2) RTS Signal Procedure

Select between Scanner ready mode and Data ready mode.

Scanner ready mode (default)

The RTS signal remains ON once the power is turned on and scanner communication is enabled. Ensure that the RTS signal is
ON when transmitting commands from the host to the scanner.

Data ready mode

The RTS signal turns ON before the scanner transfers data, and turns OFF when data transfer is completed. Commands can be
sent from the host to the scanner regardless of whether or not the RTS signal is ON. However, the scanner cannot receive
commands for a set period of time immediately after the power is turned on.

(3) Transmission Speed

Select the transmission speed from one of six options between 4800bps and 115200bps (default: 9600bps).

(4) Transmission Characters

Transfer characters are all in ASCII code. Select any combination of the following values as the transfer format (excludes the
combination of “7 bits” word length ＋ “NONE” parity).
Word length: 7 bits, 8 bits (default)
Parity: EVEN, ODD, NONE (default)
Stop bit: 1 bit (default), 2 bits

39
10.2 USB-COM Interface
This scanner conforms to USB1.1 (Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 1.1).
Installation of a dedicated Active USB-COM port driver on the computer enables use of the USB-COM interface with
communication software utilizing an existing serial port.
Note: Keyboard interface software (QR_kbif) is required for directly inputting scanned data transmitted from the scanner
via the USB-COM interface into an application (Access, Excel, Internet Explorer, etc.). As shown in the diagram below,
QR_kbif converts scanned data and transfers it to the application just as if it had been inputted on a keyboard. This program
enables use of scanned data with all applications that allow key-based input. QR_kbif can be downloaded from our website
“QBdirect” free of charge by registered users.

 Precautions for Use

● When connecting this interface for the first time or changing the scanner connection port, check the COM port number in the
device manager etc. before use.
● When using multiple types of communication software or multiple scanners on the host computer simultaneously, be sure to
specify a different COM port number for each piece of software.
● If operations are suspended while the communication software is activated, some host computers may not be able to
communicate when the suspension is released. To re-enable communication, close the program and then reactivate it.
● There is no need to change the transmission speed/data length, or parity/stop bit length settings in the communication
software using the serial port as these are ignored. Select “Hardware” (RTS/CTS) or “None” for the flow control.
● The computer virtual COM port and scanner are connected virtually as shown below.

10.5 GTIN Conversion
When GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) format is enabled, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, and Interleaved 2 of 5 (14
digits) formats can be converted to GTIN for output. GS1 DataBar, GS1-128 in GTIN format can also be outputted in product
code (EAN-13/JAN-13) format.

Note: GTIN conversion is disabled under the following conditions.

- When using data edit mode (data extraction mode, data conversion mode, and block sorting mode)

(1) Converting UPC/EAN/Interleaved 2 of 5 (14 digits) to GTIN Format

When converting to GTIN format, you can select either 16-digit or 14-digit format. If 16-digit format is selected, the
application identifier “01” and package indicator PI will be added at the start of the code before transmission; if 14-digit code
conversion is selected, PI will be added at the start of the code.
However, this will not be applied to output formats that can be specified in UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, and EAN-8.

Appendix 2: Control Commands
The commands which are transmitted between the host unit and the scanner through the communication line are called the
control commands.
Items set by control commands from the host unit overlap those indicated in “Parameter setting by bar-coded parameter
menu”. Designation by the control command prevails over that by the bar-coded parameter menu (refer to Chapter 12).
However, unless a PW command is given, the value set with the control command will not be stored in the internal FLASH
ROM, and therefore if the power is turned OFF, all designations made with control commands will be cleared, and only the
parameters set with the bar-coded parameter menu will be valid.
If a command other than a control command is transmitted to the scanner, the outcome is not guaranteed.

Note 1: Control commands cannot be utilized when the USB keyboard interface is selected.
Note 2: A command will not be initiated until the preceding command is completed.
Note 3: Up to one second is required after the host recognizes the virtual COM port in order for the scanner to be enabled to
receive commands when using USB-COM interface.

Scan fail
ERROR When set to Continuous reading mode 1 or 2, data is transmitted
when scanner enters Ready state without completing scanning in
Active state. Possible to select whether to transmit.
Match
OK Only if data output is set to “OK” when verified data matches, this
command will be transmitted when data scanned matches the master
code in the verification scanning mode.
Mismatch
NG Only if data output is set to “NG” when verified data does not match,
this command will be transmitted when data scanned does not match
the master code in the verification scanning mode.
Note 1: Operation is not guaranteed if any command other than the above is transmitted to scanner.
Note 2: When the code remains within the reading window, if the scanner receives the “Z” and then “R” commands after
the scanned data is transmitted by the receipt of the “R” command, the scanned data is transmitted again. This is
because the “Z” command clears the prevention of double scanning.
For the same reason, if the scanner enters the scanning standby mode by the receipt of the “Z” command before all
the blocks of a Structured Append Code are completely scanned, the Structured Append Code data are cleared.
However, even when “READOFF” or “LOFF” command is received instead of “Z” command, or “READOFF” or
“LOFF” instead of “R” command, operation will be the same.
Note 3: It may take a maximum of 100 ms to run the command after receiving B1- B3, BH1-BH3, BM1-BM3, BL1-BL3,
LB, LG, LR, or VO command.
Note 4: When the trigger switch is pulled in the scanning standby mode, the LED may momentarily light up. However,
scanning is not allowed.
Note 5: The command “B1” (including BH1, BM1 and BL1) beeper beep time is based on the setting for the scan
complete sound and beeper beep time when scanning is complete.
Note 6: This can only be used when data verification scanning is not set.
Note 7: The next command operation is not performed until the current operation is complete.
Note 8: In order to enable command receipt, up to one second is required after the host recognizes the virtual COM port
when using the USB-COM interface.
Note 9: This cannot be used when using the USB keyboard interface. (See section 3.2.2.)
Note 10: Parameter memory storage executed with the PW command can be performed up to one million times due to
restrictions on the number of times data can be written to the FLASH ROM.
