(∗1) Values are for data sent through the scanner and communications adapter (BA20-RU or
BA11-RKU). Communication distance will vary depending on the device receiving
the communication and the operating environment.
• When using the scanner in close proximity of devices equipped with wireless LAN capabilities using the same frequency
band as the scanner (2.4 GHz), the generated radio interference may reduce transmission speed or make transmission
impossible.
• As the scanner uses the same 2.4 GHz frequency band as devices such as microwave ovens, industrial heaters, and high
frequency medical equipment, communication may not be possible when near these devices.
• Electromagnetic noise from computers, refrigerators, or other home appliances may make communication impossible when
nearby.
• Communication may not be possible in the following locations.
Locations near metal or in which there is a lot of metallic powder
Rooms enclosed by metallic walls
Locations which receive strong vibrations
• Although the general possible communication distance under the conditions in which that distance has been measured is
approximately ten meters (unobstructed), under other conditions, even communication within ten meters may not be
possible due to the device receiving the communication and the operating environment.
As there are individual variances in the possible communication distances of scanners, confirm that problem-free
communication is possible before implementation.

2.2 Establishing Bluetooth® wireless communication
After the Bluetooth® wireless communication function has been enabled, the descriptions in this section can be used to
establish a Bluetooth® wireless communication connection between the scanner and the BA series communications adapter or
other Bluetooth® device. The scanner and the communications adapter are both set as slave devices by default.
There are methods to set the scanner to connect as the slave device (default) or as the master device. Use the bar-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting)* to set the scanner as the slave device. When setting the
scanner as the master device, the Bluetooth® address of the connecting slave device must be set.
A usage profile must also be set. Use the bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting)* to set the
profile.
Note: When using the configuration software, in addition to setting the master or slave, there is also a “No change”
option (Refer to Chapter 11(5)). When this is selected, Bluetooth® wireless communication will not be
disconnected when other parameters are changed using the configuration software or batch setting barcode
(Refer to Chapter 4).
The scanner is set as a slave device by default. When the scanner has been set as a slave, communications adapters,
commercial Bluetooth® devices, etc. can be used as the master device. In this case, special settings are not required for
communication.
When the scanner has been set as a master device, read the “Set as slave” barcode in Section 12.2 following the procedure in
Section 12.1 to set it as a slave device.
(1) Set a usage profile. The profile can be set up in configuration software (ScannerSetting). (Factory settings: Set to “SPP
profile”)
(2) When settings have been completed and the beeper sounds three times, pull the trigger switch. The scanner will wait for
a connection from a master device for approximately 2 minutes (default).
(3) When connecting to a communications adapter, set the communications adapter as the master device and set the
Bluetooth® address of the scanner. Use the configuration software (BASetting) to set the Bluetooth® address of the
communications adapter.
When connecting to a commercial Bluetooth® device, use the commercial Bluetooth® device to search for the scanner
and connect to it. Follow the instructions in the manual of the commercial Bluetooth® device for operation.
(4) When using a communications adapter or commercial Bluetooth® device, start a Bluetooth® wireless communication
link connection with the scanner set as a slave device.
(5) When the connection has been established, the scanner beeper will sound two times and the indicator LED illuminates
in green (for 0.5 seconds).
Note: If a search from the master device does not detect a scanner within range, make the connection start duration
longer and perform the search again.
Note: When connecting an SPP profile to a commercial Bluetooth® device, connection may not complete until the
device-side COM port opens following authentication. Open the COM port after authentication is complete.
Note: For connection with a communications adapter, only an SPP profile is possible.

This function can be enabled and disabled using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).
In addition, the operation following disconnection of Bluetooth® wireless communication using the magic key can be selected
from the following two types.
■ Reconnection by pulling the trigger switch
Pull the trigger switch to connect in master mode or slave mode (depending on which has been configured).
■ Host connection standby
For first-time connections, regardless of whether the scanner is in master mode or slave mode, the scanner automatically
switches to slave mode and awaits a connection from the connecting device. For subsequent connections, it is possible to
connect to the initial device by simply pulling the scanner trigger switch after the scanner has switched to master mode.
Note: Even when Bluetooth® wireless communication is disconnected in this way, the Bluetooth® wireless
communication function remains on. To disable the Bluetooth® wireless communication function, read the “End
operation” barcode in Section 12.2 following the procedure in Section 12.1.
Note: When the scanner awaits a connection from the host, the Bluetooth® wireless communication mode parameters are
the same as those when Bluetooth® wireless communication is disconnected.
Note: The user can select whether the Bluetooth® wireless communication disconnection function is available via the
configuration software. (Refer to Chapter 11)
5
Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning
Scanning is possible when Bluetooth® wireless communication has been disconnected. This function is used when scanning a
code will suffice and data transfer is not necessary. For example, it can be used in data verification mode for scanner-only
determination without sending verification results to the host computer.
The function can only be switched with the bar-coded parameter menu.
Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning Enables code scanning when Bluetooth® wireless communication has been
disconnected. As the Bluetooth® wireless communication function is disabled,
data cannot be transferred to or from the host computer.
Note: When “Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning” is enabled, it will remain enabled even if “End operation” or “Start
operation” bar-coded parameter menus are scanned. To cancel, the “Cancel Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning”
barcode in Section 12.2 must be read following the procedure in Section 12.1.
Auto-power off
The user can select the timing with which the scanner will automatically turn off (5 min-640 min intervals of 5 min) when the
scanner is not used for a certain length of time. The user can also disable auto-power off. This function can only be set with
the configuration software (ScannerSetting).
6
2.4 Reconnecting Bluetooth® wireless communication
When Bluetooth® wireless communication has been disconnected using the operation below, pull the trigger switch to
reconnect. Wireless communication is reconnected if the scanner is the master device; the scanner waits for a connection
request from the master device if it is the slave device.
- When Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning has been set by scanning the “Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning” barcode in
Section 12.2 following the procedure in Section 12.1, scan the “Cancel Bluetooth® disconnect” barcode. Pull the
trigger switch after Bluetooth®-disconnect scanning has been set.

Chapter 4 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.
Note: Scanner parameters and communications adapter parameters can both be stored in the memory of the scanner; it is also
possible to set the communications adapter from the scanner using Bluetooth® wireless communication. See Chapter 14 for
details. There are codes for scanner setting (Section 12.2) and communications adapter setting (13.2) in the bar-coded
parameter menu.
(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.)* In this case, we
recommend that the scanner be set as the master device.
(It is possible to generate a batch setting barcode with the configuration software, and set parameters by reading it with
the scanner.)
Note: Because Bluetooth® wireless communication is disconnected when the scanner is set using the configuration
software or batch setting barcode, reconnection is required once settings have been configured successfully.
However, when “Bluetooth® wireless communication connection” is set to “No change” using the configuration
software, Bluetooth® wireless communication will not be disconnected.
Note: Settings cannot be configured when the scanner is in the End operation state. Be sure to switch to the Start
operation state before setting. Refer to Section 2.1 for details regarding Start operation and End operation.
Note: The configuration software cannot be used when HID (Human Interface Device Profile) is selected. Generate a
batch setting barcode with the configuration software and set parameters.
Note: Parameters will not be retained if the battery is low. Set the parameters after charging.
* The configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) can be downloaded from our website “QBdirect” free of charge by
registered users.

Chapter 5 Scanning Control
Scanning can be controlled through two different methods, “scanning using the trigger switch” (Section 5.1), or “scanning
using software control” (Section 5.2).
“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 used when HID (Human
Interface Device Profile) is selected.
In addition to these, auto sensing mode (includes auto stand mode) can also be used (refer to Section 5.3).
- 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).
11
(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: Trigger switch operation is only enabled after establishing a Bluetooth® wireless communication connection or
when “Wireless-disconnect scanning” has been set.
12
5.2 Scanning Using Software Control
Instead of pulling the trigger switch to carry out scanning operations, these can be carried out via communication 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.)

5.3 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 500 Lx or more is necessary for auto sensing mode to work properly.
14
Chapter 6 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.
15
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 7.1) 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 7.1.3) 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.
Bluetooth® wireless communication disconnection
After establishing a Bluetooth® wireless link, Bluetooth® wireless communication can be disconnected by holding the magic
key for two seconds or more.
However, if the scanner is operating in data verification mode (excluding 2-point verification), wireless communication
disconnection is disabled.
In addition, when the magic key is pressed down for two seconds or more while the Bluetooth® wireless link is being
established, the Bluetooth® wireless communication processing will be suspended.
The operation following disconnection of Bluetooth® wireless communication using the magic key can be selected from the
following two types.
16
- Reconnection by pulling the trigger switch
Pull the trigger switch to connect in master mode or slave mode (depending on which has been configured).
In master mode, the scanner connects to the slave device; in slave mode, the scanner awaits a connection from the master
device.
Note: The user can select whether the Bluetooth® wireless communication disconnection function is available via the
configuration software. (Refer to Chapter 11)

Chapter 7 Scanning Function
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.
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 7.1.3) is read.
18
Note: Control commands cannot be used when HID (Human Interface Device Profile) 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.
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.
19
7.1.2 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.
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 9.4 (5))

7.2 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”.
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.

8.1 Beeper
(1) Beeper Sound
The beeper emits a single or multiple long or short beeps according to the various conditions.
Note: The configuration software (ScannerSetting) can be used to adjust the beeper time to three levels for short beeps.
- 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,
- an invalid control command is received,
- Bluetooth® wireless communication is disconnected,
- the communications adapter is successfully set from the scanner (1 beep) or not successfully set (3 beeps), or
- parameter settings are changed via the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software but those setting values have
failed to save.
36
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, or
- when the parameter values are saved by a PW command (refer to Appendix 2).
The final setting will be retained even after the scanner is turned off.
(Factory settings: High)
(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”
37

- Bluetooth® communication has been disconnected,
- 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.
38
The indicator LED illuminates in orange when:
- the battery level of the rechargeable battery cartridge is low (long flashes), or
- the scanner is going to turn off due to the low battery level of the rechargeable battery cartridge (five short flashes).
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,

Chapter 9 Communication
The waiting time for a connection from a master device when the scanner is the slave device can be selected from 2 minutes
(default), 4 minutes, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes.
When the waiting time is exceeded and there has been no connection with a master device, the scanner stands by in the same
state as when Bluetooth® wireless communication has been disconnected.
ACK/NAK mode
Scanned data is sent and then processed according to the response from the computer etc.
ACK: Normal completion
NAK: Retry
Note: Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D), the user can set ACK/NAK response confirmation timing to a
figure between 100ms and 9.9s (at intervals of 100ms).

9.6 Data Packing (data packetizing)
Data packing (data packetizing) is used when the user wants to increase the reliability of wireless communication.
With data packing, data being sent via wireless communication is first converted to the following formats (packetized) before
being sent. After sending one packet, the scanner waits for a response (ACK/NAK) from the communications adapter (BA
series), commercial Bluetooth device, or other device. In the case of an ACK response, the operation completes normally; in
the case of a NAK response, the data is resent.
Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting), the user can set ACK/NAK response confirmation timing to a figure
between 100ms and 9900ms (at intervals of 100ms).
If there is no ACK or NAK response within the ACK/NAK response confirmation timing, the scanner will sound the error
beeper to indicate that the data has not been sent successfully. The scanner cannot scan codes while waiting for a response
during the ACK/NAK response confirmation timing.
These functions allow the user to confirm whether the scanned data has been sent to the host successfully, even while working
in a location separated from the host. However, a characteristic of wireless communication is that there are instances when the
scanner cannot confirm the ACK or NAK response even when data has been sent to the host successfully. Use the scanner in
an environment that allows stable wireless communication.
There are two methods of data packing: “data packing (host)” and “data packing (BA)”.
Note: The data packing function cannot be used when HID (Human Interface Device Profile) is selected.
Used when communicating via a commercial Bluetooth device etc. Program the host so that received data can be confirmed
and a response can be sent to the scanner.
The scanner converts scanned barcode data to the following formats (packetizing) and sends it to the host.
- Transmission format
Header Data length Container number Reserve Transmission data CRC Terminator

Chapter 10 Rechargeable Battery Cartridge Charging and Replacement
A warning beep will sound when the battery level of the rechargeable battery cartridge becomes low. When the warning beep
sounds, charge the rechargeable battery cartridge.
While charging, it is normal for the scanner body and the battery charger to become hot.
Scanner
Battery charger
AC adapter
Handling Precautions
● Charge in the following locations.
- Locations with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 40°C
- Locations with humidity between 20% and 80%
- Locations with little dust and no excessive vibration
- Locations which will not come into contact with water
● Do not place the scanner or rechargeable battery cartridge in direct sunlight (closed vehicles, etc.) or in high-temperature
locations.
● Avoid charging in locations where noise etc. is present, such as near general telephones, televisions, radios, etc.
● Unplug from the socket when not in use.
● Occasionally clean the charging terminals with a dry cotton swab, etc. The battery will not charge correctly if the terminals
are dirty.
60
Charging method
(1) Connect the AC adapter to the battery charger before inserting it into the socket.
Confirm that the battery charger's power LED (green) is illuminated.
(3) Remove the scanner from the battery charger and unplug the AC adapter from the socket.
If scanning while set on the charger is enabled, the scanner is able to read barcodes while set on the charger.
Because power is supplied from the terminals of the charger, scanning is possible even if battery level of the rechargeable
battery cartridge is low.
It is also possible to charge the rechargeable battery cartridge while scanning.
61
10.2 Rechargeable Battery Cartridge Replacement Method
When the time in which the scanner can be used becomes noticeably shorter despite charging the rechargeable battery
cartridge, replace the rechargeable battery cartridge.
Note: The rechargeable battery cartridge is perishable and as such its life is limited. The length of its life depends on the
usage conditions.
Furthermore, follow the procedure below to remove the rechargeable battery cartridge when the scanner has malfunctioned.
(1) Remove the screw of the lower housing on the bottom of the scanner.
(2) Open the lower housing.
Open the housing carefully as a cable is connected to the lower housing.

Appendix 2: Control Commands
The commands which are transmitted between the host unit and the scanner through Bluetooth® wireless communication 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 (excluding U commands) 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 HID (Human Interface Device Profile) is selected.
Note 2: A command will not be initiated until the preceding command is completed.

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: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 2:It may take a maximum of 100ms to run the command after receiving B1- B3, BH1-BH3, BM1-BM3, BL1-BL3, LB,
LG, LR, or VO command.
Note 3: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 4: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.
Note 5:This can only be used when data verification scanning is not set.
