Wireless Scanner Manual

Introduction

The Epos Now wireless barcode scanners offers industry leading reliability and efficiency. Ideal for a
wide range of applications from retail and fashion to stock management. This scanner is supplied with
a USB dongle.

Features:

Wireless freedom & Batch mode

This Epos Now wireless scanner has a 300 meter line-of-sight range from the communication dongle.
When not in range you can use batch mode to record over 260000 scans which will save directly to
the device giving you total freedom.

Advanced data formatting

The scanner supports advanced data formatting to ensure maximum reliability. This means even
damaged or hard to read barcodes can be scanned as normal.

Data can be added or deleted with multiple characters, appended one by one or by multiple prefix/
suffix, etc. The value for prefix/suffix is also customizable. All these can be implemented through
scanning a related series of barcodes from within this manual.

Quick installation / Plug and play

Pairing can be done in just one scan. It’s easy to setup and multiple scanners can communicate with
one dongle.

Battery monitoring
By scanning a predefined barcode, battery charge can be checked on the receiver’s window. This will
give more confidence when taking the scanner away from the dongle, or using it in batch mode.

Indication of status LEDs

Multiple color LEDs are used to indicate the modes of operation and the status of the scanner.

operation take out the USB receiver first from the PC, then insert back to the USB port again. And then
the two devices will be paired. The scanner will beep three times to indicate this has been successful.

Check battery

Tip: when scanning the check battery barcode, the receiver will display the battery’s remaining power
and the remaining power on the PC terminal (laptop, for example).

The scanner will continue to monitor the battery status. When it’s charge drops below 3.65V the
scanner will beep once every seven seconds which indicates a low battery. This is to warn you to
charge the battery. When the supplied charge falls below 3.5V, the scanner will automatically turn off
to prevent battery damage.

Key - multifunction enable/disable

Enable multifunction Multifunction Key Disable multifunction (default)

Tip: When enabling the multifunction key, we can toggle different modes by holding the key for a
predefined period, without having to scan the appropriate barcode.

1) Normal operation: press the key to scan a barcode, and release it when finished
2) To change the operation mode, point the scanner to a blank area, hold down the key for about
four seconds, until the laser switches off.
3) Continue holding down the key for seven seconds, or until a beep sounds. The scanner will enter

Advanced Settings
Advanced settings can be used to customise the data format of barcodes, before it is sent
to the computer.

1) To change the advanced settings:

1. Scan the Enter Advanced Setting barcode (on the next page)
2. Scan the required function codes
3. Scan the Exit Advanced Setting barcode

2) Report format
The receiver will report the scanned barcodes to the host by using the following format:

Prefix Data Append String Suffix

Original data is the scan result. Normally it will be reported as is to the host. But it’s allowed to adjust/
add/append/delete some characters before reporting to the host

The details will be illustrated the in the following sections.

Advanced setting 1 - prefix/append after string:
Prefix:
Prefix will add to before the code, max length is 12 letters,For example, the code = ABCDEFG,
prefix= 123, then the finial reporter will be123ABCDEFG

Append after string:

This string will be appended to the end of codes.
For example, the code = ABCDEFG, append_after_string= 123, then the finial reporter will be
ABCDEFG123

applications.

The suffix is set to one Return key by default. It can be set to other keys, like the TAB, arrow keys,
etc, and the counts can also be set.

The scanner supports 3 stages of suffix, for example, it can be set as: append 3 return keys, then 2
right arrow keys, then 1 down arrow key, etc.
