Quick Start Guide for the Cipher 1660 BT Portable
All 1660 BT CCD scanners supplied by Dataman Barcode Systems have already been tested
and configured to communicate with the accompanying Cipher 3610 USB Transponder. This
means the 1660 BT DOES NOT require any further initial programming and can be used
immediately, these configuration instructions are for reference purposes.
The A4 sheets of command and control bar codes that are included with these instructions
should be studied and will be required during the batch data download operations, we
recommend that a copy be made and laminated to provide greater durability, the original to be
filed for reference. The Bar-Key.exe command charts can to be folded and laminated as A5.
The Cipher 1660 BT will require batteries to be fitted. If you have not already done so, please
undertake the procedures described as follows.
Use only Alkaline or NiMh rechargeable
AAA
batteries in your scanner (Do not use NiCad).
Please remove the batteries when you store your scanner for more than 30 days
1. Press the battery cover release button, then slide and lift the battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries noting polarity. 2 x heavy-duty
AAA
batteries are required.
3. To replace the battery cover, make sure that the cover tabs fit into the cover slots, and then
slide the cover until it clicks into place.
With the use of the supplied command bar codes the 1660 BT should be configured for the
type of batteries being used (Alkaline or NiMh), setting the 1660 BT for the specific battery
type ensures the correct low battery power alarm settings are maintained.
During normal operation the scanner can work for over 30 hours or approximately 28,000
scans, for intensive data collection operations ensure spare batteries are on hand.
Initially the 1660 BT scanner will be configured to communicate directly and immediately with
the computer using the Cipher 3610 USB Bluetooth transponder.
Note:
The Cipher 3610 USB Bluetooth transponder is connected to a vacant USB port on
the computer and sends the bar code data received from the 1660 directly to the computer’s
keyboard buffer so it appears as if it was typed from the keyboard.
