Dear support team how can i get line by line while scanning my system have multi columns i would like to scan line the free line and so on

Hi I work in a library and have recently purchased a Zebra CR2278-PC scanner. I would like to use the scanner to scan multiple books without having to hold onto the cradle and scanner at the same time. My other option is to scan (click handle) for each individual book. Or I could leave the scanner in the cradle and hold each book up to the scanner to scan multiple books. I hope this makes sense. Thanks

CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED

2D bar codes have made their way to the Point of Sale (POS), appearing on everything from customer purchased items to printed and electronic coupons and loyalty cards. 1D scanners cannot capture the new 2D codes, leading to exceptions that slow down the check-out process. The DS2278 digital imager scanner scans both 1D and 2D bar codes and does not compromise performance or features.

The DS2278 is easy to deploy, easy to use, and easy to manage - delivering affordable simplicity with its hands-free/hand-held design.

Figure 1-1 DS2278 Digital Scanner

1 - 2 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

The DS2278 digital scanner cradle supports:

• USB connection to a host. The digital scanner automatically detects the USB host interface type and uses the default setting ( USB Keyboard HID ). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, select another USB interface type by scanning programming bar code menus. See Appendix B, Country Codes for the interface supported international keyboards (for Windows® environment).

• Standard RS-232 connection to a host. The digital scanner automatically detects the RS-232 host interface type and uses the default setting ( Standard RS-232 ). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, select another RS-232 interface type by scanning programming bar code menus.

• Connection to IBM 468X/469X hosts. The digital scanner automatically detects the IBM host interface type but does not select a default setting. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner with the IBM terminal.

• Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. The digital scanner automatically detects the Keyboard Wedge host interface type and uses the default setting ( IBM AT Notebook ). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, scan IBM PC/AT & IBM PC Compatibles on page 12-4 . See Appendix B, Country Codes for the interface supported international keyboards (for Windows® environment).

• Configuration via 123Scan.

NOTE For a list of supported digital scanner functionality by communication protocol, see Appendix J, Communication Protocol Functionality .

Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the digital scanner was damaged in transit, contact support. See page xxii for information. KEEP THE PACKING . It is the approved shipping container; use this to return the equipment for servicing.

IMPORTANT DO NOT use the CR2278-PC cradle with any scanners other than the DS2278 digital scanner. No other cradles are compatible with the DS2278.

DO NOT use the DS2278 digital scanner with any cradles other than the CR2278-PC cradle. No other scanners are compatible with the CR2278-PC cradle.

Figure 1-2 Digital Scanner Features

For detailed LED indicator information see Beeper and LED Indications on page 3-1 .

NOTE For detailed information about connecting, using, and mounting the CR2278-PC c radle refer to the documentation included with the cradle ( CR2278-PC Presentation Cradle Quick Reference Guide , p/n MN-002917xx).

The CR2278-PC cordless presentation cradle serves as a charger, radio communication interface, and host communication interface for the DS2278 cordless digital scanner.

The presentation cradle sits on a desktop and charges the DS2278 cordless digital scanner while allowing bar code scanning in presentation mode. This cradle also provides host communication by receiving digital scanner data via a Bluetooth radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. The cable provides power to the cradle from the host or optional power supply if supported.

For more information about communication between the digital scanner, cradle, and host, see Chapter 6, Radio Communications .

1 - 4 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

Figure 1-3 CR2278-PC (Presentation Cradle) -Top and Bottom Views

1. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source, if necessary. This ensures detection of the host and prevents inadvertently back powering the cradle from improper detection of the host.

2. Insert the interface cable into the host port.

3. Insert the interface cable into the cradle's host port.

4. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if Pair on Contacts is enabled) or by scanning the pairing bar code.

5. If necessary, scan the appropriate host bar code (for non-autodetected interfaces).

1. Connect the appropriate cable to the power supply and an AC power source.

2. Insert the interface cable into the cradle's host port.

3. Pair the digital scanner directly to the host device (PC, Smartphone, or Tablet).

To connect to a different host, or to the same host through a different cable:

1. Unplug the interface cable from the host.

2. Unplug the power supply from the host cable, if required.

3. Connect the interface cable to the new host, or the new interface cable to the existing host.

4. Reconnect the power supply, if required.

Getting Started 1 - 5

There is no separate power jack on the cradle. The cradle can operate from host supplied power, if available. If host power is limited or not available, an external DC power supply can be used with certain host interface cables that support a power jack. An external power supply is recommended if fastest charging is required. See host interface chapters for connections.

CAUTION Always disconnect the DC power supply BEFORE disconnecting the cable to the host end or the cradle may not recognize the new host.

When using a new battery in the DS2278, the battery may require a charge to be enabled. See Charging the DS2278 Battery on page 1-5 .

NOTES 1. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before first use.

2. Charge time depends on the host type and power source.

3. The CR2278-PC passes 5V to the digital scanner which charges the battery. The charging system on the DS2278 charges the battery with as much current as possible based on the power source of the CR2278-PC. This way the input power source is never overloaded and the charge time is made as short as possible. Charge times lengthen as scanning activity increases when a DS2278 operates in presentation mode on a CR2278-PC cradle. To optimize charge performance, ensure the digital scanner is oriented to minimize accidental scan activation.

CAUTION The battery does not charge when the temperature is above 40°C (104°F). When scanning in presentation mode at temperatures above 40°C (104°F), the battery drains until the temperature drops. When the battery charge is consumed the digital scanner stops scanning until the temperature drops and the battery has sufficient time to charge.

To avoid temperature related faults, charge the battery and operate the DS2278 in presentation mode on a CR2278-PC only within the recommended 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) range, and ideally within 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).

Insert the battery in the DS2278 and place the DS2278 in the CR2278-PC cradle (see Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Cradle on page 1-9 ). The digital scanner boots and the cradle LED begins flashing green to indicate the start of normal charging.

See Beeper and LED Indications on page 3-1 for detailed LED indicator information.

1 - 6 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

The Micro USB cable is a charge only cable.

NOTE For best performance, we recommend using Zebra accessories.

Figure 1-4 Micro USB Connections

Connect the Micro USB connector to the DS2278. Connect the standard USB connector to a PC or a USB wall outlet. The digital scanner enumerates as a CDC device when the USB connector is plugged into a PC host. When charging begins, the digital scanner LED begins flashing green to indicate the start of normal charging.

The digital scanner enumerates over USB as a CDC device, by default. If your host does not have a CDC driver, a delay occurs between connecting the digital scanner to the host and the start of charging. To eliminate the delay scan HID Device Conversion below to enumerate as an HID device. This allows the scanner to begin charging sooner.

To switch the digital scanner back to a CDC device, scan Scanner as CDC Device below.

HID Device Conversion

* Scanner as CDC Device

1. Insert the digital scanner straight down into the cradle top.

2. The digital scanner naturally rotates forward to engage the digital scanner contacts with the cradle contacts

Figure 1-7 Inserting the Digital Scanner in the CR2278-PC Cradle

The cradle receives data from the digital scanner via a wireless radio connection and transmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The digital scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.

Pairing registers a digital scanner to the cradle such that the digital scanner and cradle can exchange information. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pair on contacts is enabled), or by scanning the pairing bar code.

To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, insert the digital scanner in the cradle or scan the pairing bar code. (Pairing on insertion into the cradle is enabled by default. See Pairing Methods on page 6-26 .)

NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the digital scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.

Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.

1 - 10 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a connection with the host:

1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.

2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.

3. Wait three seconds.

4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.

5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.

6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by inserting the digital scanner in the cradle or scan the pairing bar code. (Pairing on insertion into the cradle is enabled by default. See Pairing Methods on page 6-26 .)

2. Press and hold the trigger until either:

a. The digital scanner reads the bar code. The digital scanner beeps, the LED flashes, and the scan line turns off.

b. The digital scanner does not read the bar code and the scan line turns off.

3. Release the trigger.

Data Capture 3 - 7

The digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it sits in the CR2278-PC cradle. During idle conditions the digital scanner operates in object detection mode, where it automatically wakes up to decode a bar code presented in the field of view. In object detection mode it is normal for the illumination LEDs to be dimly lit.

1. Ensure all connections are secure (see appropriate host chapter).

2. Present the bar code in the digital scanner field of view.

3. Upon successful decode, the digital scanner beeps and the LED flashes green. (For more information about beeper and LED definitions, Beeper and LED Indications on page 3-1 ).

Figure 3-2 Aiming Pattern on Bar Code - Hands-Free Mode

3 - 8 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

Aiming with Digital Scanner Aiming

When scanning, the digital scanner projects a red scan line which allows positioning the bar code within its field of view, omnidirectionally. See Decode Ranges on page 3-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital scanner and a bar code.

0 1 2 3 4 5

Figure 3-3 Scanning Orientation with Aiming Line

The aiming line is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.

Routinely cleaning the exit window is required. A dirty window may affect scanning accuracy. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.

To clean the digital scanner:

1. Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above or use pre-moistened wipes.

2. Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom. Never apply liquid directly to the digital scanner. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the digital scanner window, trigger, cable connector or any other area on the device.

3. Be sure to clean the trigger and in between the trigger and the housing (use a cotton-tipped applicator to reach tight or inaccessible areas).

4. Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the exit window.

5. Wipe the digital scanner exit window with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical material such as eyeglasses.

6. Immediately dry the digital scanner window after cleaning with a soft non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.

7. Allow the unit to air dry before use.

8. Digital scanner connectors:

a. Dip the cotton portion of a cotton-tipped applicator in an approved cleaner.

b. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector on the Zebra digital scanner at least 3 times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.

c. Use the cotton-tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector area.

d. Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and rub the cotton portion of the cotton-tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connectors at least 3 times. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connectors.
