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 func-
tion of Windows.

♦
From the Terminal menu, select Settings

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 laser light should be visible. Do not stare into the laser light. If the light is not visible, the scanner
may be waiting for a Trigger Command from the host to activate it. Send the following computer com-
mand to place the scanner into the “Triggered Disabled” mode:
<ESC> S7 <CR>
In this “Triggered Disabled” mode, the red laser light is always illuminated. You are now ready to scan
barcodes.
8) Position the red laser 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 distance
for reading.
This Quick Start-Up procedure will get you started reading bar code symbols. However, in order to best
understand the full capabilities of this scanner, you should read the complete manual.
