Getting Started
Scan Bar Codes (Add Items to Memory)
1.
Aim the scanner at the sample bar code shown below.
2.
Press and hold the large button on the scanner until you
hear the tone and the blinking indicator turns solid green.
•
Make sure the scanner beam covers the entire bar
code and extends as far out as indicated by the end-
points in the bar code below.
•
The scanner should be held approximately 2.5" from
the bar code and at a slight angle.
Delete Bar Codes (Remove Items from Memory)
1.
Aim the scanner at the bar code to be deleted from memory.
2.
Press and hold the small Delete Button on the scanner until you hear a tone and the blinking
indicator turns solid amber.
Note:
If the sample bar code above is scanned three times there will be three listings of this bar code
in the CS 1504’s memory. To delete all three listings of the bar code from memory, scan the sample
bar code three times using the small Delete button (-) on the scanner. Upon each minus scan you
will receive a single beep. When the last entry has been deleted, a long double beep will be emitted
indicating all listings of that bar code have been removed from memory.
Clear All
Use the small Delete Button to clear the scanner memory of all
stored items.
1.
Aim the scanner
away
from any bar codes.
2.
Press and hold the Delete Button for 6 seconds, until you
hear a long beep.
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
Note:
Before beginning, shut down your computer according to your computer manufacturer’s
directions.
Serial Connection
1.
Connect the included serial (9-pin) connector to the
corresponding communication port on the back of the
computer according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Ensure that the connection is secure.
2.
Holding the other end of the serial cable with the
arrow facing up, slide the connector into the data
communication jack on the side of the scanner.
USB Connection
1.
Connect the 9-pin connector of the serial cable to the
9-pin connector of the USB-to-Serial converter.
Ensure that the connection is secure.
2.
Connect the USB (4-pin) connector of the USB-to-
Serial converter to the corresponding USB port on the
back of the computer according to the manufacturer’s
directions. Ensure that the connection is secure.
3.
Holding the other end of the serial cable with the arrow
facing up, slide the connector into the data
communication jack on the side of the scanner.
Upload Bar Code Data to the Computer
To transfer bar code data from the scanner to the computer, use the third party application software
to upload stored data from the scanner to your computer. (Application software is not included with
the scanner.)
Note:
The manner in which this transfer occurs depends on your specific application. Refer to the
application software manual for instructions. When communication starts, the indicator blinks green
and the scanner beeps.

Low Battery Warning
The CS 1504 will indicate a low power state to the user by blinking the LED indicator red while trying
to scan a bar code.
