Connecting to Your Host

The devices support USB and RS-232 Serial interfaces. Please choose your desired interface cable, plug it into the scanner ’s interface port and connect it to the desired port of your host. If you want to remove the cable, simply straighten one end of a paper clip, and insert it into the cable release hole to pull out the cable.

RS232 Serial

USB HID & USB COM

 USB HID (Human Interface Device)

The scanner works as a generic USB keyboard.

 USB COM Port Emulation

The scanner works as a legacy RS232 serial device. Please note that you have to install the USB Virtual COM software driver before connecting the scanner.

Using SmartStand

The optional CA-SS-1 SmartStand is specifically designed for hand-free appli cations to maximize user’s comfort and productivity. You can adjust the scanner holder to desired position for optimized scanning.

Thanks to the advanced Auto-sense design, the scanner is capable of switching between presentation scanning and hand-held scanning automatically while working with the optional SmartStand.

In presentation mode, the bar code may not be detected by the scanner in an environment with very dim ambient lighting. You may have to select higher sensitivity level through the setting of Presentation Sensitivity to increase scanner’s detecting sensitivity.

For area imager used in presentation mode, you can enable or disable the scanner ’s presentation background lighting according to the ambient light condition. When the ambient light is dim or dark, you can enable this function to turn on the scanner ’s LED illumination. This is helpful for scanner to detect the motion of scene.

Operation Modes

area imager

Capture Area Imager supports various operation modes, including trigger, presentation, alternative, level, force, toggle, diagnostic, low power and multiple read modes. The details of each operation mode are listed below for reference.

Trigger Mode

When trigger mode is selected, the scanner goes into standby state after scanning the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to turn on the scanner ’s light source before scanning the bar code.

Presentation Mode

When presentation mode is selected, the scanner is preset to turn on the background lighting to detect the bar codes. Once the scanner detects an image similar to a bar code, it will try to decode the bar code immediately.

Alternative Mode

When alternative mode is selected, the scanner keeps the light source on till the preset “ light source on time ” is up. After turning off the light source, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the light source again. After each good read, the timer counter of light source on time is reset. You do not have to press the trigger switch frequently. This is very useful for multiple scanning.

Level Mode

When level mode is selected, the scanner continues to keep the light source on till a bar code is decoded, or the preset

“ light source on time

” is up.

When a bar code is decoded successfully, the scanner turns off the light source immediately. After the scanner turns off the light source, you have to press the trigger switch to turn on the light source again. If there is no scanning operation performed during the preset “light source on time”, the scanner will turn off the light source after the preset “light source on time” is up.

Force Mode

When force mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on for a continuing operation without having to press the trigger switch. This mode is convenient for high speed scanning.

Toggle Mode

When toggle mode is selected, you must press the trigger switch to turn on the scanner ’s light source to start scanning. The scanner keeps the light source on until you press the trigger switch again. This mode is very similar to alternative mode but without the preset light source on time concern.

Diagnostic Mode

When diagnostic mode is selected, the scanner ’s light source is forced on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as reread delay, redundancy, and so on.

Low Power Mode

When low power mode is selected, the scanner goes into idle state after having scanned the bar code. You must press the trigger switch to wake up the scanner for further operation.

Multiple Read Mode

When multiple read mode is selected, the scanner is allowed to decode multiple bar codes with a single pull of the trigger. When you press and hold the trigger to aim at a series of bar codes, the scanner will decode each bar code and beep for each good read. For more precise bar code decoding, you are recommended to enable Center Alignment function while multiple read mode is selected. You can enable Unique Bar Code Reporting function to report for unique bar code when the scanner trigger is pressed. For the setting of Center Alignment and Unique Bar Code Reporing, please refer to the Programming Manual for details.
