Using Pioneer Barcode Readers(cont.)

Scanning Barcodes with the UC-V108BC Autoscanning Reader

Place the Autoscanning reader sensor over the barcode. Line up the arrow on the scanner with the left edge of the barcode. Press the blue READ button and the barcode is automatically scanned. A “Beep” indicates the code has been successfully scanned. Before transmitting the command, place a disc in the player and spin it up by pressing the PLAY button on the reader, the PLAY button on the front of the player, or by scanning and sending a “START” or “PLAY’ barcode command to the player.

Sending Barcode Commands to the Player with the UC-V108BC

Once a disc has been spun-up, barcode commands scanned with the UC-V108BC reader can be transmitted to the player automatically in wired mode, or they can be sent in infrared mode by pointing the infrared sensor on the front of the unit toward the remote sensor on the player and pressing the SEND/REPEAT button.

When using the reader in infrared mode, make sure the control cable is disconnected from both the player and the reader and that the batteries are fresh. The reader can transmit the infrared signal approximately 23 feet with new batteries installed. The path of transmission should be unobstructed and within a 30 degree angle of the remote sensor. The Autoscanning reader holds the last barcode scanned in its memory; this barcode command can be re-sent by pressing the SEND/REPEAT button again. A “Beep” indicates the code has been successfully transmitted.

A control cable is packaged with the unit to provide a wired connection. The control cable has mono mini plugs at both ends. The end that connects to the Autoscanning reader has a locking connector and when inserted into the plug on the reader should be twisted to provided a secure connection. The plug on the other end of the cable is simply connected to the mini-jack on the front of the player. Make sure the player is turned off when connecting or disconnecting the cable.

Built-in Remote Control Functions Available on the UC-V108BC

Remote control functions available at the press of a button include: Play, Pause, Step* Forward and Reverse, Scan Forward and Reverse, Chapter / Track Skip** Forward and Reverse, Audio Select and Display.
