STEP 3 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION 

 
 
X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed to improve ease of installation and maintenance. 

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of the five colored LEDs, whereas the single 
push button gives immediate access to the following relevant functions: 

• 

Test Mode 

with bar graph visualization to check static reading 

performance 

• 

AutoLearn

 to self-detect and auto-configure for reading unknown 

barcodes (by type and length) 

• 

AutoSetup

 to self-optimize and auto-configure reading performance in 

demanding applications 

 
 

 

NOTE 

If using the OM2000N accessory, when entering the X-PRESS™ interface, the Oscillating Mirror 
remains in the default fixed position (-15°) in order to make barcode reading easier while 
performing the X-PRESS™ functions. 

 
 
The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table: 
 

READY (green) 

This LED indicates the device is ready to operate. 

GOOD (green) 

This LED confirms successful reading. 

TRIGGER (yellow) 

This LED indicates the status of the reading phase. 

COM (yellow) 

This LED indicates active communication on main serial port. 

STATUS (red) 

This LED indicates a NO READ result. 

 
During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second. 
 
On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner is correctly powered. 
 
 

AUTO LEARN 

 
If you are configuring your scanner using X-PRESS™, you must start with the 

Auto Learn

 procedure. 

1. Enter 

the 

Auto Learn 

function by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed until the LEARN LED is on. 

2.  Release the button to enter the 

Auto Learn 

function. 

Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes (by type and 
length), which are presented to it (*). The laser turns on and the LEARN LED blinks to indicate the ongoing 
process.

The procedure is as follows: 

A) 

place

 the desired barcode on the scanline. 

B) 

wait

 until the LEARN LED stays steady on 

(indicating the reader has detected the 
barcode). 

C) 

repeat

, if needed, the above two steps to 

program up to 10 different barcodes (the 
LEARN LED returns to the blinking state for 
the next code). If more than one barcode is 
detected, the Multi Label mode is enabled 
(refer to the “2K/4K Family Software 
Configuration Parameter Guide” Help file). 

 
 

* In case of Programming Barcodes, refer to the “ID-NET™ Programming Barcodes And Setup Procedure” document in the 
product CD.
