Scan the Enter Setup barcode, then scan the desired interface barcode (e.g., USB HID Keyboard, USB CDC), then scan Exit Setup.

How do I restore the scanner to factory defaults?

Scan the Restore All Factory Defaults barcode provided in the manual. This resets all settings to their original values.

What trigger modes are available and how do I select one?

Modes: Level, Sense, Continuous, Pulse, Batch. To select, scan Enter Setup, then the desired mode barcode, then Exit Setup.

How can I adjust the good read beep volume?

Scan the Enter Setup barcode, then scan the desired volume barcode (Loud, Medium, Low, or custom level), then Exit Setup. There are 20 levels to choose from.

How do I check the firmware version?

Scan the Query Firmware Version barcode. The scanner will output the version number via the interface.

Can I replace the cable myself?

Yes. Power off the scanner and host. Press the retention tab and gently pull out the old cable. Insert the new cable until it clicks. Ensure the connector is properly seated.

What cables are included with the CD-3202U?

The CD-3202U includes a USB cable. The CD-3202R includes an RS-232 cable. An optional ST-8000 stand is also available.

Why is the barcode read by the scanner but not accepted by the POS system?

Check that the communication settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) match between the scanner and host. For RS-232 models, adjust settings using programming barcodes. Also ensure the POS software supports the barcode data format.

Scanner Maintenance

The scanner is designed for long-term trouble-free operation and rarely requires any maintenance. Only an occasional cleaning of the scanner window is necessary in order to remove dirt and fingerprints.

Wipe the scan window with a soft lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid the scan window from being scratched and damaged. The scan window can be cleaned while the scanner is running.

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with a 10-pin modular connector. When the connector is properly seated, it is secured in the scanner by a flexible retention tab. The cable is designed to be field replaceable.

Replacement cables can be obtained from your authorized distributor. To replace the cable, take the following steps.

1. Make sure the power of both the host terminal and the scanner is powered off.
2. Disconnect the old scanner cable from the host terminal.
3. Press down the retention tab, and gently pull out the cable.
4. Insert the new interface cable into the bottom of the scanner until it clicks. Then, plug the new cable into the host.

Troubleshooting

This section contains information about how to solve problems that you may encounter when operating the scanner. If a trouble occurs, please refer to the following diagnostic tips as a mean to solve the trouble. However, before referring to the tips, make sure that the scanner is installed well. If the problem remains, contact your dealer.

Problem	Diagnostic Tips
The scanner is on but cannot read any barcode.	The scanner window is dirty. Clean the scanner window as described in the Scanner Maintenance section.
	The presented barcode type is not enabled. Use this guide to tell the scanner to accept that type of barcode.
	The host terminal has disabled the scanner. Check the setup of host terminal.
	The barcode type presented is not supported by the scanner.
The scanner does not accept more than two or three barcode labels.	Determine whether the required barcode types are enabled or not.
	A stray barcode is sitting somewhere in the scanner field of view. Remove all barcode labels from the scanner's scan volume and try again.
	The scanner cannot send the data to the POS system. Make sure that the scanner is installed well and your host POS system is ready to receive data.
A barcode is read by the scanner but not accepted by the POS system.	The communication settings of the system port and the scanner do not match. Adjust the settings to make them match to each other.
	The scanner is not installed well. Contact your dealer for the proper installation. The software running on the POS system does not support the data format of the barcode label.
When a barcode stays close to the scanner, the barcode cannot be read automatically by the scanner.	Check whether or not you have enabled the Manual Trigger mode. If you have enabled this mode accidentally, please disable the Manual Trigger mode by scanning the “Disable trigger” barcode in the advanced user manual.

Programming Codes

Below are some suggestion you need to bear in mind while scanning labels:

1. The barcode labels shown in bold and black are default factory settings.
2. Please cover the unwanted codes for scanning the specific barcode required for the programming to prevent confusion in code scanning.
3. Use the user manual downloaded from our global website for advanced programming.
4. While scanning the setup barcode labels provided in the quick guide, you need to pull the trigger to initiate the decoding process.

Firmware Version

Scan the below barcode label to retrieve the current firmware version.

Default Settings

Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults.

Restore All Factory Defaults

USB of Programming Barcodes

Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the engine to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan a number of programming barcodes to configure your engine. To exit the setup mode, scan the Exit Setup barcode or a non-programming barcode, or reboot the engine.

USB Interface

There are four options for USB connection:

USB HID Keyboard: The engine's transmission is simulated as USB keyboard input with no need for command configuration or a driver. Barcode data could be entered by the virtual keyboard directly and it is also convenient for the host device to receive data.

USB CDC: It is compliant with the standard USB CDC class specifications defined by the USB-IF and allows the host device to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is needed when

using this feature.

➢ HID POS (POS HID Barcode Scanner): It is based on the HID interface, with no need for a custom driver. It excels virtual keyboard and traditional TTL-232 interface in transmission speed.
IBM SurePOS: It conforms to IBM (now Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions) 4698 USB scanner interface specifications

When the scanner is connected to both USB and RS-232 ports on a host device, it will select the USB connection by default.

Before setting, please scan the Enter Setup barcode on P.4.

After setting, please scan the Exit Setup barcode on P.4.

Trigger Mode

➢ Level Mode: A trigger pull activates a decode session. The decode session continues until a barcode is decoded or you release the trigger.
Sense Mode: The engine activates a decode session every time it detects a barcode presented to it. The decode session continues until a barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires.
Continuous Mode: The engine automatically starts one decode session after another. To suspend/resume barcode reading, simply press the trigger. Note that when switching to this mode by scanning the Continuous Mode barcode, the engine will stop barcode reading for 3 seconds before starting scanning continuously.
➢ Pulse Mode: When the trigger is pulled and released, scanning is activated until a barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires (The decode session timeout begins when the trigger is released).
Batch Mode: A trigger pull activates a round of multiple decode sessions. This round of multiple scans continues until you release the trigger. Rereading the same barcode is not allowed in the same round.

Before setting, please scan the Enter Setup barcode on P.4.

After setting, please scan the Exit Setup barcode on P.4.

Illumination

A couple of illumination options are provided to improve the lighting conditions during every image capture:

➢ Normal Illumination LEDs on the engine are turned on during image capture.
➢ Always On Illumination LEDs on the engine keep on after the engine is powered on.
➢ Off Illumination LEDs on the engine are off all the time.

Before setting, please scan the Enter Setup barcode on P.4.

After setting, please scan the Exit Setup barcode on P.4.

Aiming

When scanning/capturing image, the engine projects an aiming pattern which allows positioning the target barcode whining its field of view and thus makes decoding easier.

Normal
The engine projects an aiming pattern only during barcode scanning/capturing.
▶ Always On
Aiming pattern is constantly on after the engine is powered on.

Off
Aiming pattern is off all the time.

Before setting, please scan the Enter Setup barcode on P.4.

After setting, please scan the Exit Setup barcode on P.4.

Good Read Beep Volume

There are 20 volume levels to choose from. The bigger the value, the louder the Good Read Beep.

Before setting, please scan the Enter Setup barcode on P.4.

After setting, please scan the Exit Setup barcode on P.4.

Enabling/Disabling of readable codes

Before setting, please scan the Enter Setup barcode on P.4.

After setting, please scan the Exit Setup barcode on P.4.
