Operations
This chapter provides basic instructions on how to use the presentation scanner. This includes scanning operations, mounting methods, and available accessories.
11
Scanning Operations
FuzzyScan presentation scanners are preset for hands-free scanning, with the ability to easily switch to handheld scanning. This section provides instructions about both hands-free and handheld scanning operations, as well as their most important control parameters. For a complete parameter list, please refer to the “FuzzyScan Barcode Programming Manual”.
Hands-free Scanning
This is the factory default operation of the FuzzyScan presentation scanners.
Under hands-free scanning, the scanner keeps detecting approaching objects using either its proximity sensor or image sensor. Once it detects an approaching object, the scanner automatically turns its LED illumination on and reads the barcode.
If the trigger button is pressed during hands-free scanning, the scanner will shift into handheld
scanning mode immediately. The scanner will return to hands-free scanning after a period of inactivity (the duration of which can be adjusted through the Hands-free Time-Out parameter).
Object Detection Control
The FuzzyScan presentation scanner utilizes a proximity sensor as its primary means of determining whether any object is coming into the scanner’s field of view and thus to trigger the scan session.
With Object Detection Control, You can choose the image sensor instead to provide the object detection function if a longer effective detection range or a wider effective detection area is required.

Image Sensing
Background Lighting
Under hands-free scanning, you can enable or disable the background light of the scanner when it is in standby state. Under Image Sensing mode, the presentation scanner relies on its image sensor to detect approaching objects. If the ambient lighting is insufficient, disabling the background light may hinder the ability of the image sensor to work properly.

Handheld Scanning
By pressing the Trigger Button, the presentation scanner will switch to Handheld Scanning immediately. Under this operation, the scanner will turn on its aiming dot to help target the desired barcode. With its trigger button pressed, the presentation scanner will turn its LED illumination on and begin to scan the barcode. Once it decodes a barcode successfully (having a “good read”), the presentation scanner transmits the decoding result, turns off its LEDs, and goes back to standby status waiting for the next triggering.
Center Alignment
The FuzzyScan presentation scanner utilizes the Center Alignment function to adjust the extent of effective decoding area. With Center Alignment function enabled, the presentation scanner will only decode the barcode that is closest to its aiming dot; while disabled, the scanner will decode any barcodes it can find within its entire view field.

Configuration
This chapter introduces the various tools that are available to configure FuzzyScan presentation scanners, namely: FuzzyScan PowerTool, FuzzyScan iCode, and FuzzyScan Command Barcodes. It also discusses the factory and user default settings.
19
Configuring Your Scanner
Below are the various ways to configure or modify the settings on your FuzzyScan device.
FuzzyScan PowerTool
The FuzzyScan PowerTool is an intuitive, PC-based software utility that is expressly designed for the management of FuzzyScan scanners. It allows users to set or change device parameters, upgrade firmware, generate iCodes for single scan configurations, and write custom programming scripts for complex data processing via DataWizard Premium, which can then be uploaded to your scanner to modify its operations. FuzzyScan PowerTool can be downloaded from
www.cino.com.tw.
FuzzyScan iCode
iCode is a macro configuration barcode that carries one or more commands. It is generated through FuzzyScan PowerTool. Simply choose your desired commands, and click on the “iCode” button to generate a comprehensive iCode that integrates all of the commands. Then, scan the iCode to apply these commands to your scanner. Instead of using multiple barcode commands to configure the devices, users can achieve the same results with a single iCode, saving time and effort.
FuzzyScan Command Barcodes
In order to help simplify configuration and parameter setting for FuzzyScan scanners, Command
Barcodes for the most common settings as well as some more advanced options are provided for your convenience. These command barcodes can be found in the “ FuzzyScan Barcode
Programming Manual”, which is available for download at www.cino.com.tw.

DataWizard Premium
Scanned data often may need to be processed in various ways before they can be used by the host application, therefore Cino FuzzyScan Scanners provide an exclusive functionality called
DataWizard Premium to accomplish this and much more. DataWizard Premium enables users to configure the scanner to manipulate scanned data prior to transmission, such as reformatting them to a new order, or inserting, deleting, matching, or verifying specific data.
In addition, it can also perform complex logical operations to fulfill more complicated needs, through the writing of data scripts. This enables tasks such as text string parsing to extract specific information, for example, for eligibility verification for age-restricted purchases, or parsing of data from GS1 barcodes to populate that data into the correct corresponding data fields in your host application. Moreover, through DataWizard Premium, you can even apply various user-defined scanner indicator lights and beeping feedback combinations to suit your specific application needs.
This chapter presents a brief overview of this unique functionality.
23
Data Processing Functionalities
Cino’s FuzzyScan DataWizard Premium can perform not only common data processing tasks such as reformatting scanned barcode data to a new order, its unique advanced features also include the ability to write data scripts to performing complex logical operations for user-specified scanner feedback and other use-specified data manipulation tasks.
For the simplest types of data editing and scanner setting operations, such as adding preamble/prefix, postamble/suffix, setting data length and formatting, datum character replacement, and data verification, etc., users can simply locate the applicable barcode then scan it, then that operation will be applied on the scanner. For all of the available data editing and scanner setting options, please refer to the “FuzzyScan Barcode Programming Manual” for complete details.
Another method to configure the scanner for the above-mentioned operations, as well as other more complex operations, such as insertion, deletion, or substituion of specifc characters or symbols into scanned data, is through using Cino’s FuzzyScan PowerTool utility. Users can easily configure the scanner for the above tasks, as well as setting data transmission and other parameters through an easy to use, Windows-based interface. FuzzyScan PowerTool utility can be downloaded from Cino’s website at www.cino.com.tw.
The requirements for barcode scanning are increasingly complex and diversified. Oftentimes, typical configuration tools may lack the capability to meet enterprise-level demands. DataWizard Premium fills the gap by offering a flexible way to program Cino scanners for complex data processing and manipulation.
Custom Data manipulation and Scanner Control
DataWizard Premium also enables users to write programming scripts and load them into Cino scanners for customized data manipulation and scanner operation control. The script language used is similar to BASIC and is easy to learn for experienced programmers. DataWizard Premium also has various built-in functions to help with script development. Cino scanners can thus be instructed to perform complex data processing tasks, such as parsing captured data according to the host system’s requirements. Examples include text string parsing from a PDF417 driver license to extract age information for alcohol purchase eligibility verification, or application identifiers (AI) parsing of
GS1 barcodes to extract and populate the data into the correct corresponding data fields in host applications. Please refer to the DataWizard Premium User Guide available for download at www.cino.com.tw for details.
