Introduction
About the Scanner
The QuickScan Lite 2D QW2400 area imager is an entry level product specifi-
cally designed for reading long and truncated 1D codes and larger 2D codes
from close distance. The QW2400 imager has an extra-wide Field of View which
captures these challenging 1D and 2D codes at a nominal distance using differ-
ent scan angles, meeting the scanning needs in Retail, Light Manufacturing,
Document/Bill Processing and Banking/Finance. The QuickScan Lite 2D imager
is the most affordable area imager with the best performance in its class.

Using the QuickScan Reader

QuickScan readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and
pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the light
square beam emitted from the reading window. This square beam must cover
the entire code.
Effective scanning is obtained by tilting the scanner with respect to the barcode
to avoid direct reflections, which impair the reading performance (see Figure 1A
below). A successful read is signaled by an audible tone, plus a good-read
green spot. The upper illuminator becomes green.
In order to operate the reader using the stand, first read the label on the base
of the stand and then insert the reader into the stand. The reader is now ready
to automatically read any code present in its reading area without pressing the
trigger. Furthermore, a blue spot is continuously emitted to facilitate the aim-
ing of the bar code to be read (shown in Figure 1B).
To guarantee single code reading, consecutive reading of the same code
requires the code to be removed from the reading area (no decoding) before
the reader will accept the same code again.

About this Manual

This Product Reference Guide (PRG) is provided for users seeking advanced
technical information, including connection, programming, maintenance and
specifications. The Quick Reference Guide (QRG) and other publications associ-
ated with this product are downloadable free of charge from the website listed
on the back cover of this manual.
Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and
communications settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings,
custom configuration can be accomplished by scanning the programming bar
codes within this guide.
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™
Configuration application, which is available from the Datalogic website listed
on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows
device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or
USB cable and can also create configuration bar codes to print.

Overview
Chapter 1, Introduction provides a product overview, unpacking instructions, and
cable connection information.
Chapter 2, Setup presents information about unpacking and setting up the scan-

The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compati-
ble cable for your installation. If this is not so, contact Technical Support.
The scanner can communicate using the following interfaces:

RS-232 Serial Connection

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the scanner to the terminal/PC
serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 3. If the terminal will not
support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the
approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into
the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a stan-
dard power outlet.

RS-232: The scanner can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N)

RS-232 host.

RS-232 OPOS: This interface is used for OPOS/UPOS/JavaPOS systems.

Keyboard Wedge Connection

The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the scanner. Connect the
female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the key-
board port at the terminal/PC.

Keyboard Wedge (KBW) : When connected using this interface, the host interprets
scanned data as keystrokes and supports several international keyboards (for
the Windows® environment). See "Country Mode" on page 36 for a full listing.

USB Connection
Connect the scanner to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB
cable for the interface type you ordered.

Customizing Configuration Settings

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to
reconfigure your scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like "Resetting the
Product Configuration to Defaults" on page 16, require only the scan of that single
label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, how-
ever, require the scanner to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning
them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once
the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter set-
tings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then
accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal
operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions
carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
NOTE

Datalogic Aladdin™ Utility

Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™
Configuration application which is available for free download from the Data-
logic website listed on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility
program allows device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device
using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration bar codes to print.
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and
user-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. The
Aladdin utility is available on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to pro-
gram the scanner by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly
graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the scanner
over the selected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes
to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the con-
nected device (see the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

Enter/Exit Programming Mode Label ID

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be
one of hex 0x01-0xFF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be
appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending
upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring
custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets" on
page 72) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Sym-
bology" on page 73). If you wish to program the scanner to always include an
industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous
feature "Global AIM ID" on page 71.

Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The scanner supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs, the USA set and the EU
set. See "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets" on page 248 for more information concern-
ing the pre-loaded sets that are provided.

When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other scanner
configuration settings, including the host interface type, will be erased
and set to the factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom
CAUTION defaults will be lost.

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4
character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in
the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair
is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no
conversion is done. See "Character Conversion" on page 252 for more detailed
programming instructions.

Double Read Timeout

To prevent a double read of the same label, the Double Read Timeout sets the
minimum time allowed between reads of labels of the same symbology and
data. If the unit reads a label and sees the same label again within the Double
Read Timeout, the second read of the label will be ignored. Double Read Time-
out does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that
is read.

Enter/Exit Programming Mode Reading Performance

Reading Performance
When the barcode scanner's Scan Mode is set to triggerless modes (e.g. Flash-
ing, Always On, Stand Mode, etc.) the reading capabilities can be modified
according to two main goals:
• Motion tolerance: increased performance for rapidly moving barcodes.
• Depth of field: increased performance for distant barcodes.
Depending on specific environmental conditions or user's circumstances or
expected performances, one may decide to assign a higher priority to one or
the other.

Pick Mode
Specifies the ability of the reader to decode labels only when they are close to
the center of the aiming pattern. This allows the reader to accurately target
labels when they are placed close together, such as on a pick sheet.
The Pick Mode can be enabled only in Trigger Single Scan Mode. So, when the
trigger is pulled the aiming pattern immediately appears allowing the user to
point the barcode. After a while the reader's illumination starts and the reader
can decode the aimed label.

This feature is not compatible with Multiple Labels Reading in a Volume.

possibly the facing page, to ensure that the reader reads only the bar code
you intend to scan.

3. If additional input parameters are needed, go to Appendix D, Keypad, and

scan the appropriate characters from the keypad.

8-bit ASCII protocol for sending and receiving data.

Stop Bits
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of trans-
mission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next charac-
ter in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two)
depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommo-
date. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

Parity
This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity
check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the
parity type according to host device requirements.
• Select None when no parity bit is required.
• Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to
ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
• Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to
ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.

Handshaking Control
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with
or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to
Send (CTS). Handshaking Control includes the following options:
• RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmis-
sions.
• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
XON and XOFF gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates
transmissions and controls enable and disable state of scanner.

 RS-232 Parameters

RS-232/USB COM Parameters

Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one char-
acter and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero
(0) to 990 milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no
delay.
To set the delay:

1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.

2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the

result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05,
20 = 20, etc.

3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-

ming Mode.

4. Go to page 26 and scan the bar code: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY

SETTING.

5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that
represent the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will
hear a two-beep indication after the last character.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code
to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.

ACK NAK Options

This enables/disables the ability of the scanner to support the RS-232 ACK/
NAK protocol. When configured, the scanner and/or host sends an “ACK” when
it receives data properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:
• Disable
• Enable for label transmission — The scanner expects an ACK/NAK
response from the host when a label is sent
• Enable for host-command acknowledge — The scanner will respond with
ACK/NAK when the host sends a command
• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge

ACK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK
character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host com-
mands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is
not recognized when the option Data Bits on page 22 has been set as 7
NOTE Data Bits.

Data Editing
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host
computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and
supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The Data Editing
features can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before
and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbol-
ogies, or only with specific symbologies. The following shows the available ele-
ments you can add to a message string:

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting

features in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact
Technical Support (see page 3) for more information.
NOTE

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing
is a sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for
advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to
NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference
1D Symbologies, starting on page 113) or across all symbologies (set via the
Global features in Configuration Using Bar Codes, starting on page 17).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart on page 297 (from 00-FF) on
the inside back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear
on the output.

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be
one of hex 0x01-0xFF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be
appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending
upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring
custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set or individually per symbology (see "Label
ID: Set Individually Per Symbology" on page 73). If you wish to program the scanner
to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types,
see "Global AIM ID" on page 71.

Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology

To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE (Enable as Prefix) or AFTER

(Enable as suffix) by scanning the appropriate bar code in the section
"Label ID Control" on page 73. Reference Figure 10 for Label ID positioning
options if multiple identification features are enabled.

3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a
custom Label ID from the section Label ID Symbology Selection, starting on
page 74.

4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will
represent the Label ID for the selected symbology.

5. Turn to the ASCII Chart on page 297 on the inside back cover of this manual
and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID.
For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart
indicates its associated hex characters as 3D. Turn to Keypad, starting on
page 287 and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters deter-
mined. For the example given, the characters ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4
character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in
the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair
is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no
conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the
following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII cap-
ital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2).
The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character
conversion: BB22BB22.

The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were con-
verted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since
they are all FF.

To set Character Conversion:

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

2. Scan the bar code for "Character Conversion" on page 80

3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in

the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on page 297 on the inside
back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to ful-
fill the string.

4. Turn to Appendix D, Keypad and scan the bar codes representing the hex
characters determined in the previous step.

5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to exit Programming Mode.

If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the
ENTER/EXIT bar code twice to accept the selections and exit Program-
ming Mode.

 Scanning Features

Scanning Features

Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:

Trigger Single: When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the
following occurs:
• Scanning Active Time has elapsed
• a label has been read
• the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trig-
ger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released,
or a label is read, or the maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.

Trigger Hold Multiple : When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a
label does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multi-
ple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple: When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is acti-
vated until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and
pulled again. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the
same label while in this mode.

Flashing: The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash
rate is controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the
reader reads continuously. When Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.

Always On: No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning is continually
on. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label
while in this mode.

Stand Mode: No trigger pull is required to read a bar code. Scanning turns on
automatically when an item is placed in reader's field of view. While in a stand
watch state, the reader illumination LED goes from dim to maximum bright.

Scanning Active Time

This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON state
once the state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in
1-second increments.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired setting.

2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 =
000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.

3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-

ming Mode.

4. Scan the bar code: SELECT SCANNING ACTIVE TIME SETTING on page 94.

5. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad
that represent the duration which was determined in the steps above. You
will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar
code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again
at the beginning.

Scancode Tables
Control Character Emulation
Control character emulation selects from different scancode tables as
listed in this appendix. Each of the control character sets below are
detailed by interface type in the tables. These apply to Wedge and USB
Keyboard platforms.

Control Character 00 : Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control

character Ctrl+Keys, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.

Control Character 01 : Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control

character Ctrl+Capital Key, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.

Control Character 02 : Special keys are located from 00 to 0x1F and

characters from 0x80 to 0xFE are intended as an extended ASCII table
(Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 — see page 294).

Single Press and Release Keys

In the following tables, Ar↓ means Alt right pressed and Ar↑ means Alt
right released and so on. Definitions for other keys are Al (Alt left ), Cr
(Control Right ) Cl (Control Left ) Sh (shift). This method can be used for
combining Alt, Control or Shift with other keys.
Example: Consider a Control character set to 00. If AltRight+A is
required before sending a label to the host, it could be done by setting
three Prefix keys in this way: 0x99 0x41 0x9A.
