2. Remove the cover from the touch computer’s accessory port.
   

3. Connect the bar code scanner cable to the cable in the touch computer’s accessory port.
   IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the connectors, be sure to observe correct polarity by matching the wire colors (same wire color on each side of each connector).
   

4. Gently push the bar code scanner into place on the touch computer, making sure the connector is properly stowed.
   

5. Secure the bar code scanner with the two included M3x6 screws, taking care to not over tighten them.
   

Bar Code Scanner Default Settings

Default Settings
The IEC Bar code Scanner is ready to use in its default mode. The default parameters, explained in the next section, are:

1. Presentation Mode setting: PAPTPR
2. Presentation Mode Idle Illumination Light: PWRIDL0 (OFF)
3. Power Up Beeper: BEPPWR1 (ON)
4. Presentation Illumination Light: PWRLDC150 (High)
5. Reread Delay: DLYRRD750 (750ms)
6. Add Carriage Return: VSUFCR
7. USB HID Keyboard Mode: TERMID124

Reset MicroTouch Default Settings
If the scanner ever needs to be reset to the MicroTouch as-shipped settings, scan the code below.

Caution
Below are descriptions of the default settings and their optional settings. To avoid rendering the scanner unusable, please use discretion when changing the bar code scanner’s  settings. No changes will be necessary in most applications, but if changes are required, please reference the Honeywell 4680 2D scanner documentation for additional setup  codes, as well as to thoroughly understand the typical codes that are provided below.
https://manuals.plus/honeywell/cm4680-2d-imager-module- manual#configuration_bar_codes

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode allows the bar code scanner to automatically read a bar code when one is presented (as opposed to requiring the user to press the trigger button). Various  settings allow modification to how Presentation Mode works.
PAPTPR (the default) is for optimized scan speed, with limited reading range.
PAPTRE sets “full depth of field”, allowing reading bar codes at a greater distance. Scan the bar code below to set this mode.

Presentation Mode Idle Illumination Light

The illumination LED is a bright LED that acts as a “flashlight” to make sure the scanner can see the bar code. In the idle state (when no bar code is present for reading), the  illumination light can be turned off (the default) or set to Low, Medium or High brightness. If the bar code scanner doesn’t wake up and read a bar code when one is  presented, the illumination light may need to be set to one of the constantly ON states. Scan one of the codes below to alter the idle illumination light setting.

Power Up Beeper

By default, the bar code scanner beeps when it first turns on. This is the BEPPRWR1 setting.
Presentation Illumination Light Intensity
The illumination LED comes on when a bar code is presented for reading. The intensity is set to High (PWRLDC150) by default.
Reread Delay
When a bar code is read, the Reread Delay sets the amount of time before the same bar code can be read again. This protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code.  The default setting (DLYRRD750) is 750 milliseconds.
Add Carriage Return
By default, the bar code scanner adds a carriage return after every scan. This is the VSUFCR setting.

Modes
By default, the bar code scanner uses the USB HID interface. Other modes can be set by scanning the bar codes below

Changing The Physical Orientation

To allow for maximum flexibility in mounting, the bar code scanner can be configured to mount at any of four orientations. To change the orientation, follow the steps below.
Remove the screws
Place the bar code scanner on an acceptable work surface and remove the Phillips #0 screws:

Separate the halves
Separate the two plastic case halves by gently lifting the back cover at the cable exit point, then sliding the cover off.

Remove the internal screws
Remove the two #0 Phillips screws that hold the bar code scanner to the metal bracket.

Rotate the scanner
Note that there are four mounting holes in the backet, allowing the scanner to be rotated to any mounting position in 90 degree increments. Rotate the scanner to the desired  orientation and replace and gently tighten the two screws.

Final reassembly
Reassemble the case halves, install the two screws and tighten snugly, taking care not to overtighten them.

Appendix

Cleaning
To clean the case, dampen a clean cloth lightly with water and a mild detergent and wipe gently. Do not use volatile solvents, waxes or any abrasive cleaners on any part of the product.

Solutions to Common Problems
How can I test functionality?
Set the barcode scanner to “USB PC Keyboard” mode (see Modes section above). Open a text editor – Notepad, Keep Notes, or similar. Place the cursor in the text editor  and scan a barcode or QR code from a commercial product. The code’s data will be scanned into the text editor as generic text. If the code data does not scan into the text  editor, check the connector and wiring, making sure the connector has not been damaged.
Bar code scanner doesn’t read presented bar codes reliably.
Ambient light may be too low. There must be sufficient ambient light for the scanner to detect the presence of a bar code. If the ambient light cannot be increased, try  scanning the PWRIDL7 code (see Presentation Mode Idle Illumination section above) to set the illumination light to always on at a low level. Other intensities can also be set  as needed.
The barcode scanner does not light up after installation:
This is most likely due to incorrect cable polarity matching. Verify that the wire colors from the touch computer match the same orientation as the barcode scanner accessory  (see Product Setup and Use section above).
Bar code not scanning into my application:
The barcode scanner’s current emulation mode (HID, Keyboard or Serial) may not match what your application is set to receive. Please review the technical information for  you application for setting up barcode scanners.
