1. Introduction 2. Installation The 1160/1260 is the first CipherLab Wireless scanner utilizing Bluetooth Technology. The scanner has a range of over 50 meters and a battery life of over 50,000 scans. The difference between 1160 and 1260 is the barcode scan engine installed inside the scanner. The 1160 uses CCD linear imager, whereas the 1260 uses a Laser engine. This manual contains all the information needed to operate and configure the 1160/1260 Wireless Barcode Scanner. It is divided into two parts.

2.4 Charging your 1160/1260 2.2 Power Up the 1160/1260 When you receive your 1160/1260 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.

3. General Features 2.5 Interface Setting 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.

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. But now the switch acts like a “re-transmit button”.

4. Output Interface (3660 Base Unit) 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. The 1160/1260 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.

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 1160/1260 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. Bluetooth Serial Port The 1160/1260 can be configured to use the standard Bluetooth Serial Port as the data output interface.

5.1.4 Update Settings After all the desired settings are completed, the “Update” barcode must be scanned to make the new settings effective. The scanner will re-start itself after “Update” barcode is scanned. 5.1.5 Timeout The scanner will stay active only for one minute waiting for connection. If there is no connection request during that period, the scanner will go to power down mode to conserve power with three serial descending tones as indication.

Click “Apply” and “OK” Click “OK” to go back to “My Bluetooth Places” Wake up 1160/1260 by pulling the trigger (just in case it falls asleep). Double click “Find Bluetooth Devices”. Select “Bluetooth Serial Port” from the list. Click “Property” button. Uncheck “Secure Connection”. If you have enabled the Authentication and have configured a PIN Code on 1160/1260, you can leave “Secure Connection” checked.

Double click “SW3000006”. This will bring up a screen showing the available services on this device. After successful connection, the Bluetooth Device Driver will report the COM port it mapped for this connection. In this case, it is COM3. You can also hear three serial ascending tones from the scanner indicating successful connection. After this initial connection, whenever an application program opens COM3, the Bluetooth driver will automatically try to connect this particular scanner.

6. Symbology Parameters 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.

6.7 UPCA • Convert to EAN13: If this parameter is enabled, the UPCA read will be expanded into EAN13, and the following processing will follow the parameters configured for EAN13. • System Number Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the system number will be included in the data being transmitted. • Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum character will be included in the data being transmitted. 6.

7. Data Output Format Data read by the scanner will be processed in the following sequence (RS-232, Keyboard Wedge and USB interfaces). 1) The character substitution is performed on the barcode data. 2) The Code ID and the Length Code are inserted at the beginning of the data as shown below. [Code ID] [Length Code] [Data] 3) The resulting data of step 1 will be processed by the editing formats. For details, please refer to the section “Data Editing”.
PAGE 17
8. Data Editing The 1160/1260 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. 8.
PAGE 18
8.6 Additional Fields User can create up to five additional fields for each editing format. Each additional field can have at most four characters. The additional fields are numbered AF1 to AF5 accordingly. 8.7 Field Transmission Sequence After the data fields and the additional fields are configured, user can now program the transmission sequence of these fields that comprise the final data. The “Start” label must be read before assigning the field transmission sequence.

9. Configuring your 1160/1260 Configuring the 1160/1260 Scanner is done by reading the setup labels contained in the Configuration Manual (the second part of this manual). This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner. Some configuration examples are also given in this section for illustration. Finally, the “Validate” label must be read to complete the setting. The scanner will respond with two beeps when the “Validate” label is read. 9.4.
