Introduction
Part 1 describes various setting procedures and notes from the normal reading operation status, and

Part 1 Menu barcode setting method and Initialization
When reading of SET / END menu barcode and reading each menu barcode during menu setting,
different than normal scan operation buzzer will sound and read (blue) LED light.
Also, reading SET and until the completion of menu setting, buzzer to state the menu setting status
will sound and become the auto scanning mode which red light (illumination LED) continue to light.
During this time, trigger key operation is not required.
Please do not turn off the power (disconnect the USB connection) during setting. In such case,
setting is not stored, please retry setting from beginning.
To turn the power off after menu setting, after sounding of reading END buzzer, wait for a moment
(about 2 seconds) and turn off.
Referring below drawing, please adjust the distance between BARCODE SCANNER and menu
barcode by using illumination LED width as a guide.
1
If unnecessary menu barcode is read, for example reading menu barcode to disable setting A;
Please continue setting, and read the menu barcode to enable setting A. The last read setting will be
reflected.
In case erroneously read menu is unknown, not read END but turn off the power and restart setting.
Or, after reading END, process default setting which is listed on 3. Default option. Then re-start
setting from beginning.

3. Default Option
This default option allows you to undo all previous configured options and bring the scanner's
configuration back to the factory default settings. Each settings factory default settings are printed in
bold.

Part 2 Setting of readable codes
PA-BR-001 can read various read code. Selecting readable code to match to purpose of use, and
optimizing reading options enables comfortable usage. This section provide following setting.
1. Select readable code. By performing enable readable codes, selected readable code
becomes target.
2. Set option for the enabled readable code.
3. Set various options, for example CD calculated / not calculated.

Following is the collective setting to add print start command to all barcode type and to clear (clear all
suffix).
Without reading menu setting method: SET~END, setting complete with only reading following menu

6. Setting of number of characters
Reading of a known length barcode, by setting fixed number of characters, verifies if read label are
correct lengths or not and will not output non-specified length label. This can be done for up to two
lengths.
This is effective for reading Interleaved 2 of 5 or others which do not provides sufficient security against
partial scan.
Setting procedure
Read length ON menu barcode follow by reading of actual barcode label of desired barcode type/lengths
to be set. And setting completes with reading END menu barcode.
Fixing length can be done for up to two lengths; different barcode type/length can also be set.

1.1. Read mode options
Single read:
Reading start by pressing trigger key, and when barcode is read, illumination LED stop and
become wait mode. Even fail to read barcode, will stop after 2 seconds (default setting) and
becomes wait mode.
Multiple read:
Reading start by pressing trigger key, and read barcode and continue to read further. Continuously
read barcode one after another, but same label cannot be read continuously. When 2 seconds
(default setting) of barcode unreadable time continues, reading operation stops, and become wait
mode.
Trigger key:
Selecting “Disable trigger”, maintains operating status without pressing trigger key. However,
please note its affect to the life of optical components which is a light source. If selecting “Enable
trigger”, readable time can be set.

By combined use of this function and the auto trigger function, enabling auto trigger when
BARCODE SCANNER is attached to the stand is possible.

1.6. Illumination LED
By switching illumination LED On/Off, scanning performance may improve. This illumination is
possible to set.
・ E n a b l e i l l u m i n a t i o n L E D : The scanner reads a bar code with the illumination LED turned
ON. This mode is default.
・ D i s a b l e i l l u m i n a t i o n L E D : The scanner reads a bar code using the LCD backlight as
illumination source and without turning on the illumination LED.
・Alternating illumination LED: The scanner reads a bar code with the illumination LED
turned ON and OFF
・Preventing specular reflection: This mode is for scanning a barcode on a glossy surface. When
the barcode is scanned with the illumination LED ON and the
captured image is too bright to read, then the scanner will turn
the illumination LED OFF and scan the bar code again. The
mode is not suitable for scanning in a dark place.

3.2. Intercharacter delay
Intercharacter delay is use to adjust data transmission speed to host device. If transmit speed is too
fast, some host device may fail to receive all character. Please adjust intercharacter delay until data
are correctly received.
Delay time will be waiting time within scanner.
Because actual transmitting time will be define by host device and USB poring interval, it will be
different from the following time.
