7 2 Get started This chapter provides information about how to install, connect and use your scanner to do your work, and how to charge and replace your battery. 2.1 Installation This section describes how to set up your scanner. 2.1.1 Set up your scanner 1. Connect the USB or the RS-232 cable to your cradle. Lay the cable into the notch on the cradle edge.
8 2. Connect the USB or the RS-232 cable to your computer. Note 1 If you’ve purchased the USB pack, you can charge your scanner by connecting the USB cable to your computer. You can also charge it by connecting a power supply (optional) to your USB cable. The charging time is shorter with a power supply. Note 2 If you’ve purchased the RS-232 pack, connect the power supply to the RS-232 cable and the wall outlet. Charging by Full Charge Time Power Supply 4.5 hours USB Cable 6.5 hours 3. Place your scanner on your cradle to charge it to full (cradle’s LED glows green). 4. Scan the Data Matrix code at the bottom of your cradle to establish the connection between your scanner and cradle. 5. To test your scanner, start a text processing program like Notepad or Word. Scan a bar code and see if the data can be sent to your computer. If it’s successful, you’ll hear a beep and the bar code data shows in the program.
9 2.1.2 How to scan AI-6821 emits a cross pattern when it is scanning. Any bar code in the range of the cross could be read. Typically, the bar code closest to the center will be read first, but if the quality of this bar code is poor, your scanner might read other bar code first. If you want to scan a bar code in a small area that contains multiple bar codes, it would be better to cover other bar codes in the range of the cross, in case your scanner scans the bar code you don’t need.
10 2.1.3 Work with the ASCII table Sometimes, you might need to send some control characters that can’t be typed, or enter characters without a keyboard. You can do it using ASCII codes. In Appendix B, you'll find the ASCII table. Both column and row numbers are hexadecimal. The ASCII code of a character is the combination of a column and a row number, where the column comes first. For example, the ASCII code of BEL is "07" and the number sign (#) is "23." You can use the bar codes in Appendix D to scan ASCII codes. 2.1.4 Search your scanner Sometimes you might leave your scanner somewhere and can’t find it. In this case, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of your cradle, until you receive two short beeps from your scanner, and you can locate it by the beep sound. 2.2 Battery AI-6821 contains a lithium-ion battery that is partially charged at the factory. You might want to charge it to full before your use it. The battery life varies depending on usage.
11 2.2.1 Charge the battery You can charge the battery by connecting the USB cable to your computer, or by using a power supply, which charges the battery faster. When your scanner is fully charged, your cradle’s LED turns to green. Charging by Full Charge Time Power Supply 4.5 hours USB Cable 6.5 hours Caution Keep the charging pins dry when you put your scanner on your cradle to charge the battery. Wet charging pins may cause water seeping into your cradle and shortening its life. 2.2.2 Replace the battery The battery’s life is consumed as you use and charge it.

139 5 Troubleshooting You might encounter some issues when you scan bar codes. This chapter provides information that helps you fix common issues. 5.1 Scanner issues My scanner doesn’t emit the aiming pattern. ￭ Did you charge your scanner? ￭ Did you turn off the aiming pattern? ￭ Your battery wears out. Replace the battery and make sure the new battery is charged. ￭ Your scanner is waiting your computer to acknowledge data and doesn’t receive any response. Unplug your cradle’s cable (USB or RS-232) and connect it again. ￭ Check your USB cable and power supply by connecting them to other compatible devices and test if they work properly. If not, replace them and charge your scanner again.
140 5.2 Bar code issues My scanner doesn’t read a bar code properly. ￭ Reset your scanner. ￭ Check the quality of your bar codes. Wrinkled, smudged or torn bar codes won’t be read by your scanner. ￭ Are your bar codes too close to each other? Cover the bar codes you don’t need and scan the target again. The data isn’t sent to my computer. ￭ Did you establish the connection between your scanner and cradle? ￭ Did your scanner connect to other Bluetooth device? ￭ Make sure the USB cable is tightly plugged into your cradle and computer. ￭ Your scanner is connecting to another cradle. Break their connection and connect your scanner to your cradle.
