This document serves as a Quick Start Guide for the NETUM 2D Scanner, a device designed for reading various types of barcodes. The scanner is identified by the brand "NETUM" with the Chinese characters "迅镭" (Xùnléi).

Function Description

The NETUM 2D Scanner is primarily a barcode scanner capable of reading two-dimensional barcodes. Specifically, it supports QR codes, PDF417 codes, and DataMatrix codes. Its core function is to capture and transmit barcode data to a connected system, acting as an input device for data entry and inventory management.

Important Technical Specifications

While the document does not provide a comprehensive list of technical specifications such as scanning speed, resolution, or operating temperature, it details key functional settings and interface options.

Barcode Support:

2D Barcode Scanner
Supports QR code
Supports PDF417 code
Supports DataMatrix code

Interface Settings: The scanner offers flexible connectivity options via USB. It can be configured to operate in two primary USB interface modes:

USB Keyboard Mode: This is the default USB interface mode. In this mode, the scanner emulates a keyboard, and scanned data is input directly as if typed.
USB COM Mode: When set to USB COM mode, the scanner functions as a virtual serial port. This mode requires the installation of a USB virtual serial driver on the PC. This is typically used for applications that require more direct control over the scanner or specific data formatting.

Keyboard Layouts: The scanner supports various keyboard layouts to accommodate different countries and languages, ensuring compatibility with diverse operating environments. Supported keyboard layouts include:

Japan
France
Germany
Italy
Spain
United Kingdom
United States
Turkey

Packing List: The standard package includes:

Scanner: 1 unit
USB cable: 1 piece
Quick Start Guide: 1 piece

Usage Features

The Quick Start Guide outlines several user-configurable features that enhance the scanner's usability and adaptability to different operational needs.

Factory Default Settings: The scanner can be reset to its factory default settings. This process involves scanning a sequence of barcodes: "Enter/Exit Setting" -> "Factory Default Settings" -> "Enter/Exit Setting". It's important to note that performing a factory reset does not alter the interface setting (e.g., USB Keyboard mode remains USB Keyboard mode).

Reading Version Number: Users can read the scanner's firmware version number by scanning a specific barcode ("Read the Version Number"). This can be useful for troubleshooting or verifying software updates.

Aimer Setting: The scanner features an aimer, which can be toggled on or off. The aimer helps users target the barcode accurately.

Aimer On: Activates the aiming light.
Aimer Off: Deactivates the aiming light.

Enter/Line Feed Setting: This feature controls whether an "Enter" (carriage return) or "Line Feed" character is appended to the scanned data. This is crucial for data entry into various applications.

Add Enter: Appends an "Enter" character after each scan.
Remove Enter: Prevents an "Enter" character from being appended.
Add Line Feed: Appends a "Line Feed" character after each scan.
Remove Line Feed: Prevents a "Line Feed" character from being appended.
Add Enter and Line Feed: Appends both "Enter" and "Line Feed" characters.
Remove Enter and Line Feed: Prevents both "Enter" and "Line Feed" characters from being appended.

USB Interface Settings (CR and LF): When operating in USB PC or Macintosh Keyboard mode, the scanner can be programmed to add a Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) to the scanned data. This is a common requirement for many data entry systems.

Beeper - Good Read: The scanner provides audible feedback to indicate a successful barcode read. This beeper can be enabled or disabled.

Beeper - Good Read Off: Disables the beeper for good reads.
Beeper - Good Read On: Enables the beeper for good reads.

Beeper Volume - Good Read: The volume of the good read beeper can be adjusted to suit the environment.

Off: No sound.
Low: Low volume.
High: High volume.

LED Good Read: In addition to audible feedback, the scanner also provides visual feedback via an LED to indicate a successful read.

LED - Good Read On: Activates the LED for good reads.
LED - Good Read Off: Deactivates the LED for good reads.

Data Matrix Code Activation: While the scanner supports DataMatrix codes, there's a specific setting to ensure this function is active. If DataMatrix codes are not scanning, users are instructed to scan the "DATA MATIX CODE" barcode to enable this function.

On: Enables DataMatrix code scanning.
Off: Disables DataMatrix code scanning.

Maintenance Features

The document provides information related to troubleshooting and warranty, which can be considered aspects of device maintenance and support.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):

DataMatrix Support: Confirms support for DataMatrix codes and provides a solution if it's not working (scan the "DATA MATIX CODE" to enable).
