Chapter 1Getting StartedThe linear imager uses a 16-bit processor and enhanced image processingalgorithms to attain industry-leading speeds of 450 scans per second.Depth of field performance allows scanning of a low resolution shippinglabel at a distance of 1.5 meters. Even poor quality bar codes are readablewith this scanner. Bright environments such as direct sunlight or welllightedretail environments are not a problem; the linear imager providesaccurate scans in strong ambient light up to 75,000 LUX.The unit is built to withstand tough industrial environments with adurable rubber overmolding to protect all contact points and an IP52protection rating. The linear imager is lightweight at 5.64 ounces (160grams) and has an ergonomic comfort grip for ease of use.About This ManualThis Product Reference Guide (PRG) contains the information listedbelow. For installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warrantyinformation, see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of otherpublications for this product are downloadable free of charge from thewebsite listed on the back cover of this manual.Chapter 1, Getting Started, presents this manual’s contents, describes featuresand specifications, and lists the bar code symbologies the linearimager will read.Chapter 3, General Features, Chapter 4, Interface Related Features, Chapter5, Data Editing, and Chapter 6, Symbologies all provide programminginstructions and bar code labels allowing custom configuration of yourimager.Chapter 8, Product Specifications, lists product data such as dimensions,electrical, environmental, etc.The appendices contain references and tables needed with this manual.Product Reference Guide 1-1

SymbologiesSymbologiesIn addition to standard linear bar code symbologies, the PDF model ofthe linear imager also reads 2-Dimensional stacked bar code symbologiessuch as PDF417, Micro PDF 417 and EAN UCC Composite.For more information plus a complete listing of available symbologytypes, turn to the Symbologies chapter of this manual.Linear Imager SettingsThe linear imager is factory programmed for the most common terminaland communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programmingis accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.In the programming chapters, factory default settings are indicated withbold text and yellow highlighting. These defaults represent the settingsfor the RS-232 standard interface. For a listing of defaults for otherinterfaces, reference Chapter D, Default Settings, in the section titled InterfaceDefault Exceptions.Return to Factory DefaultsScan the two bar codes below to reset the imager (handheld) and BaseStation to factory settings. These bar codes can be used to return theimager to a “known” working state when the present programming statusis not known, faulty, or suspect.Return handheld tofactory defaultsReturn Base Station tofactory defaultsProduct Reference Guide 1-3

Chapter 2Bluetooth ModelsThe following features and descriptions apply only to Bluetooth (BT)models of the imager.Linking an Imager with a BaseStationFollow these instructions to link the two devices:1. Connect power to the Base Station. The radio LED (marked withan antenna symbol) will blink amber and the Base Station willbeep.2. To ensure the Base Station is unlinked from any other imagers,press the button located on its bottom side for three seconds.3. Place the imager in the Base Station for one minute to get a smallcharge in the battery.4. Read the label on the Base Station with the imager. The imagerwill sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber.5. Replace the imager in the Base Station to continue the charge.Once an imager is linked to a Base Station, they will remain linked untilspecific action is taken to unlink them (see Unlinking). They will remainlinked if the Base Station is unplugged, if the battery is removed fromthe imager or if the entire charge is used up, and if the imager is takenout of range of the Base Station. Under normal operation, scanning ofthe link label will only be required once in the life of the product.Product Reference Guide 2-1

Bluetooth ModelsUnlinkingThere are three ways to unlink an imager from a Base Station:Unlink and Sleep1. Scan the “Unlink and Sleep” bar code — Reading the unlink bar codeabove while the imager is in range of the Base Station will breakthe link between the two devices and allow another imager to linkto the Base Station. It will also place the imager in Sleep Mode. Ifthe bar code is read when the imager is out of range of its linkedBase Station, the imager will unlink, but the Base Station willremain linked to the imager and will not allow another imager tobe linked to it until the unlink button is pressed, the originalimager is brought in range, linked, and then unlinked again.2. Push the button on the bottom of the Base Station — Pushing the buttonon the Base Station while the imager is in range will break thelink between the devices. If the button is pushed while the imageris out of range, the Base Station will unlink and make itself availableto other imagers. The imager will not automatically break itslink with the Base Station, but can be linked to any other Base Stationby reading its link label .3. Scan the link label on an alternate Base Station — Scanning the linklabel on a Base Station with an imager that is linked with anotherBase Station will drop the link between the original pair and establisha link between the imager and the new Base Station. If the newlink is performed within range of the old Base Station, it is free toestablish a link to the next imager that reads its link label. If it isdone outside the range of the old Base Station, it retains its old linkand will not allow a new imager to link to it until its unlink buttonis pressed.2-2 QuickScan ® QS6500/QS6500BT

Battery ChargingBattery ChargingThe imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. Afully charged battery will provide up to 12,000 scans over a 12 hourperiod. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configurationof the how the imager is configured via the programable features in thismanual; in particular, Deep Sleep Mode and Leash Alarm settings canimpact battery life.When the imager is placed in the Base Station, the battery will automaticallycharge. While charging is taking place, the charging LED (markedwith a battery symbol) will blink green. When the battery is fullycharged, the charging LED will stay on a solid green.If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the charging circuitor with a failure of the battery, the charging LED will flash red. Whenthis happens, the battery should be replacedPaging the ImagerIf the imager is misplaced in the area around the Base Station, it can belocated by momentarily pressing the button on the bottom of the BaseStation. When the button is momentarily pressed, a message is sent tothe imager instructing it to sound a series of six short beeps. If the imageris out of range of the Base Station or in Deep Sleep Mode, paging willnot work.Product Reference Guide 2-3

This feature is used for applications where “daisy chaining”of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for example,one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is enteringdata while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requiringtransmission to the host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232 channelto be quiet for a specified period of time (set via RS-232 Host EchoQuiet Interval). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before sendingits data in order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.Host Echo Quiet IntervalThis setting specifies the time interval of RS-232 channel inactivitywhich must transpire before the imager will break the host echo loop totransmit the bar code data that has just been scanned to the host.Signal Voltage: Normal/TTLSpecifies whether the RS-232 interface provides TTL levels on the outputpins TxD and RTS.RS-232 InvertEnables/disables inversion of RS-232 TXD and RXD signals.4-14 QuickScan ® QS6500/QS6500 BT

Chapter 5Data EditingData Editing OverviewCAUTIONIt is not recommended to use these features with IBM46xx or IBM interfaces.When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to thehost computer along with the bar code data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “messagestring.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specificuser-defined data into a message string.There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sentbefore, after, and even between scanned data. You can specify if theyshould be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies.Figure 5-1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:Figure 5-1. Breakdown of a Message StringCode Length Transmission: A number of datadigits can be transmitted before the code data.The total length of the bar code is the numberof characters of bar code data without truncatedleading or ending digits.Data Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4: Can bevariably inserted into positions within thebar code data itself.

Data EditingSymbology, I.D. and Code LengthUseful information, such as the scanned bar code’s symbology type, codeI.D. and character length can all be variously added to the messagestring. The following are descriptions for each of these elements:Symbology — This function is used to identify and display thescanned bar code's symbology name (from among any of the symbologiesreadable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology)will be transmitted in a position before the bar code data.Code I.D. — The Code I.D. is an alpha-numeric code representing thebar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to and/or followingthe transmitted bar code data depending upon how this feature isenabled.NOTEAn extra step is required in enabling this feature. Selectionof Code I.D. Positon (either before or after bar codedata) must be made PRIOR to selecting either Proprietaryor AIM I.D.In addition to message string positioning (before or after bar code data),options for this feature include:• Disable• Proprietary I.D. — Symbologies are identified by an associatedalpha-numeric code developed by the manufacturer.• AIM I.D. — Symbologies are identified by a standardized alphanumericcode list established by AIM (Association for AutomaticIdentification and Mobility).Code Length — When enabled, this feature will calculate the totalcharacter length of the scanned bar code (minus truncated leading orending digits) and transmit this information just previous to the actualscanned data.5-8 QuickScan ® QS6500/QS6500 BT

Chapter 7Bluetooth FeaturesFeatures in this section are applicable only to Bluetooth (BT) models.The Bluetooth model includes an imager and Base Station. When theimager and Base Station are linked together, the imager will read anddecode bar codes and transmit them via a Bluetooth radio to the BaseStation. The Base Station will then transmit the bar code data to thePOS host system over the host cable. The host interfaces available fromthe Base Station are the same set as the corded version of the product.Auto UpdateWhen this feature is enabled, an imager and its linked Base Station can automaticallyensure they stay in sync with regard to application hardware and/or configuration.This is accomplished by the linked imager and Base Station comparing applicationversion number and configuration file check sum. If either is different, the Base Stationwill automatically update the imager with its application/configuration.If the units are linked, any changes made to the Base Station configuration throughthe scan utility software will automatically be sent to the imager at the completion ofthe programming session. By the same token, any changes made to the linkedimager’s configuration will be transmitted to the Base Station at the end of the programmingsession.The following options are available for Auto Update:• Auto update enable — Allows both application and configurationupdating.• Configure auto update enable — Allows only configuration updating.• Application auto update enable — Allows only application updating• Auto update disable — No automatic updates will be performed.Product Reference Guide 7-1

Bluetooth FeaturesLeash AlarmWhen enabled, the Leash Alarm will force the imager to sound an alarmfor a preprogrammed length of time to notify if an imager is leaving theimmediate vicinity of the Base Station. This is especially useful ininstances where the imager might inadvertently have been placed in abag or cart.For this mode to be effective, Deep Sleep Mode must be disabled. If theimager is asleep, there is no way for it to know where it is relative to theBase Station because communication is not active between the devices.STARTDURATIONBARCODEDisable Alarm1 Second2 Seconds3 Seconds4 Seconds5 Seconds6 Seconds7 Seconds8 Seconds7-4 QuickScan ® QS6500/QS6500BT

Bluetooth FeaturesBluetooth Connectivity ModeThe feature allows the imager to be linked to any Bluetooth (BT)enabled device which can accept such a connection with other devices.To implement this mode, follow these instructions:1. Place the imager in Programming Mode by scanning the STARTbar code.2. Scan the “Connect to a BT Device” bar code to put the imager inthe mode enabling a link to a device other than its own Base Station.3. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.4. Scan the “Begin Pin” bar code.5. Set the four- to six-character PIN code assigned to the target Bluetoothdevice using the bar codes available in Appendix B, Alpha-Numeric Pad.6. Scan the “End Pin” bar code.7. Use the software that drives the other BT device to scan for devicesin the area. The QS6500BT imager will be displayed as "Datalogic1 handheld scanner." Each BT device uses different methodsto link, so you’ll need to follow the instructions for the devicebeing connected to.NOTEThe Serial Peripheral Protocol is the only interfacesupported.1. Depending upon when your scanner was purchased, the display might read “PSC handheldscanner.”7-6 QuickScan ® QS6500/QS6500BT
