Casio DT-X5 Series manual Bar code and stacked 2D code Reading Guide

Using the C-MOS Imager (DT-X5M30E/DT-X5M30R/DT-X5M30U/DT-X5M30UR only)

1.Turn on the Handheld Terminal, position its C-MOS Imager reader port near the bar code or stacked 2D code, and then press the Trigger Key (R or L).

2.The Handheld Terminal reads the code by emitting laser and red light.

Indicator 2 (read operation indicator lamp) lights in green when the reading is successful.

Bar code and stacked 2D code Reading Guide

When you press the Trigger key (R or L), LEDs in the Handheld Terminal emit laser and red lights. Align the laser frame with the center of the bar code or stacked 2D code you are trying to read. Take particular care aligning the light when there are other bar codes nearby.

When reading a large code, adjust the position of the Handheld Terminal so that the entire code is enclosed within the laser frame.

Important!

•If you have problem not properly reading a code, change the angle and/or the distance between the label and the Handheld Terminal and try reading the code again.

•A bar code can be read from a distance of 40mm to 410mm (19/16" to 161/8"), and a stacked 2D code can be read from a distance of 50mm to 250mm (115⁄16" to 913⁄16").

The actual reading distance depends on the symbology and the resolution.

•For smaller codes, move the Handheld Terminal closer to the code.

•To read a large code, move the Handheld Terminal further away from the code.

•Note that a special reader application is required to read bar codes and stacked 2D codes.

•The DT-X5M30E/M30R/M30U/M30UR supports reading of stacked 2D codes.

•Fingerprints, dust, dirt, or other foreign matter on the C-MOS Imager reader port can cause abnormal reading. Should the code reader port become dirty, wipe it clean with a soft and dry cloth.
