Frequently Asked Questions - COM-598 Steren
Is the Steren COM-598 compatible with my POS system?
The COM-598 uses a standard USB interface and emulates a keyboard wedge, so it works with most POS systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Simply plug in and scan barcodes as keyboard input.
How do I set up the scanner for the first time?
Connect the USB cable to your computer. The scanner will beep and the LED will turn green. Open any application that accepts text input (e.g., Notepad) and scan a barcode. The data will appear as if typed.
What types of barcodes can this scanner read?
The COM-598 supports standard 1D barcodes: UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, and many others. It does not read 2D barcodes like QR codes.
Can I configure the scanner for different barcode symbologies?
Yes, you can enable or disable specific barcode symbologies by scanning configuration barcodes from the user manual. The scanner also supports suffixes, prefixes, and other data formatting options.
What is the maximum scanning distance?
For a typical 100% UPC barcode (0.33 mm resolution), the maximum read distance is approximately 17 inches (43 cm). Smaller barcodes require closer scanning.
How do I clean the scanner?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild glass cleaner. Gently wipe the lens window and housing. Do not spray directly into the scanner or use abrasive cleaners.
Why does the scanner beep and flash red?
A red LED and a different beep indicate a failed scan. This may be due to a damaged barcode, incorrect symbology disabled, or the scanner not positioned properly. Ensure the barcode is clean and within the correct distance.
Can the scanner read barcodes from smartphone screens?
Yes, the COM-598 can read 1D barcodes displayed on mobile, tablet, or computer screens. However, screen glare may interfere; adjust brightness or angle for best results.
Is there a warranty on this product?
Steren typically offers a 12-month limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact your retailer or Steren support for warranty claims.
Where can I find replacement parts or service?
The COM-598 has no user-serviceable parts. For repairs, contact Steren authorized service centers. See the user manual for contact information. The cable is non-removable.
