Your PC and the scanner should now communicate. Skip to Step 6.
5) In a Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment, set the communication parameters using the Terminal
function of Windows.
From Windows Program Manager Main Menu, select Terminal
From the Terminal menu, select Settings
From the Settings menu, select Terminal Emulation
Set the emulation to TTY (generic)

Terminal Modes: Line Wrap, Local Echo, Sound

From the Settings menu, select Communications
Select the COM port and set communication parameters as shown in Step 2, including no flow control
6) To verify that the scanner and the PC are communicating properly, send the following command from
your PC keyboard to activate the scanners buzzer.
Send the command: <Escape> V5 <Carriage Return>
Note: Be sure to use capital letters, e.g. V5, not v5.
The buzzer should sound, indicating that good communications have been established.
7) A red scanning light should be visible. If it is not visible, the scanner may be in a mode that requires a
Trigger Command from the PC to activate it. You can exit that mode by sending the following command
from your PC keyboard:
<Escape> S7 <Carriage Return>
In this Trigger Disabled mode, the red scanner light is always illuminated. You are now ready to scan
bar codes.
8) Position the red light of the scanner over the bar code symbol to be read. When the bar code symbol is
decoded, the scanner will beep and transmit the data to the screen of your PC. You may have to move
the scanner closer or farther away from the bar code symbol in order to locate the best reading distance.
This Quick Start-Up procedure will get you started. However, in order to best understand the full capabilities
of this scanner, you should read the complete manual.
