2.4 Charging your 1160 2.2 Power Up the 1160 When you receive your 1160 it will be in an OFF mode. This is done to conserve power and for transportation purposes. At the base of the scanner you will find a small pin hole. Using a straightened paper clip insert the end of the paper clip into the pin hole. The scanner will beep its LED will light up and it will power up. The scanner will also power up once inserted into the base.

2.5 Interface Setting 3. General Features Once you have “paired” the scanner and base, you need to specify the interface type to your PC. The interface settings are stored in the base. So ensure that you have RF connection between your scanner and base prior to setting the interface type. For details on selecting interfaces please refer to the relevant section in this manual. 3.1 Buzzer The buzzer of the scanner beeps differently to indicate various operating conditions.

Time-Out Duration) is expired. Unlike the Auto Off mode, the scanner will continue to scan and the scanning period is re-counted each time there is a successful read. • Alternate Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is triggered. The scanner will continue scanning until the switch is triggered again. • Momentary Mode: The scanner will be scanning as long as the switch is depressed. • Repeat Mode: The scanner is always scanning just like Continuous Mode.

barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of the negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars. 4. Output Interface The 1160 is a multi-interface scanner. It can be used as a keyboard wedge scanner, an RS-232 scanner, or a USB scanner. The output interface can be programmed using the setup barcodes in this manual. Please ensure that you have an RF connection between the scanner and the base prior to selecting the interface type. 4.

1 ! 2 @ 3 # 4.2.1 Baud Rate / Parity / Data Bits The supported baud rate, parity, and data bit are listed below. 4 $ • Baud Rate : 115200 / 38400 / 19200 / 9600 / 4800 / 2400 / 1200 / 600 • Parity : None / Even / Odd • Data bit : 8 / 7 Digits on Upper Row 4.1.4 Capital Lock Status In order to send alphabets with correct case, the scanner needs to know the capital lock status of the keyboard. Incorrect settings may result in reversed case of alphabets being transmitted.

4.4.3 Send Data This enables the user to transmit the data in the scanner’s memory to the host. The interface selected by the user will be used for the transmission. During the transmission the red LED of 1160 will be flashing. 4.4.4 Memory Data Delay This will enable the user to set a delay between each data records in memory at time of transmission. 5. Symbology Parameters This section describes user configurable parameters that are pertaining to barcode symbologies. 5.

read by qualifying the allowable code length. Code length parameters can be configured in two ways : Fixed Code Length or Max / Min code length. If the fixed code length is selected, up to 2 fixed lengths can be specified. And if max / min code length is selected, the max length and the min length must be specified, and the scanner will only accept those codes with lengths fall between max / min length specified. 5.

• Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum characters (two characters) will be transmitted together with data. 5.11 Telepen • Telepen Output: There are two flavors of encoding formats for Telepen. One is the original Telepen format, the other is AIM Telepen format. User can choose the desired encoding format for Telepen readings. 5.12 RSS • Code ID Selection: User has choice of using RSS Code ID (‘]e0’) or EAN128 Code ID (‘]C1’).

7. Data Editing The 1160 scanner provides advanced data editing functions for data formatting. Data editing is performed according to user configured editing formats. Up to three editing formats can be configured. Data is divided into fields by user specified rules. These fields together with user configurable additional fields constitute the data actually sent to the host computer. The detailed descriptions and the configuration procedures of the editing format are described in this section.

• Code Type: This parameter specifies the code type of the data eligible for data editing. Multiple code types can be specified for this parameter. • Data Length: This parameter specifies the length (character count) of the data eligible for data editing. It is specified in the range format. The length of the data must fall between max and min length limits. If the max length and the min length configured is both zero, the scanner will not perform this length qualification.

6th character is the date code. From the 7th character is the item number, its length is not fixed but is delimited by a ‘-’ character. After the ‘-’ character is the quantity information. Data should be transmitted like this: Item number goes first, then a TAB character, and then the date code, and then another TAB character and finally the quantity. Total Number of Fields: 3 8.
