SCANNER SETUP

Honeywell 2D scanner N3680 (optional)

Technical Details
The N3680 barcode scan engine is a revolutionary, fully decoded, compact 2D imager from Honeywell. It inherits the legendary Adaptus™ 6.0 decoding performance in our most compact design. The N3680 2D imager represents a fine balance between size, performance and ease of integration – ensuring an excellent end-user experience.
Not only does the N3680 2D imager support a wide variety of symbol ogies, including 1D, 2D and PDF417 bar codes, it also includes advanced features that support reading poorly printed bar codes and can even read bar codes directly from smartphone screens. This makes the N3680 2D imager a perfect choice for reading mobile coupons and loyalty cards, mobile ticketing, paperless boarding passes and bar code payment systems for mobile wallet applications.
Technical Details

Operation and configuration of the scanner
The user manual for the Honeywell scanner series N36XX provides a lot of information about the functionality and configuration of the scanner module. Use the included programming codes to transfer the desired configuration settings to the scanner. These programming codes can be scanned directly from the User’s Guide. To do this, follow the instructions in each chapter. At the end of the manual you will also find a “Programming Chart” with the numbers 0-9 to be able to scan sequences of numbers if required. Attention – The configuration data is stored directly in the scanner module and not in the operating system. Consequently, you can use this type of scanner programming regardless of the installed operating system.
Examples of typical configuration settings:
Setting the language of the keyboard layout, activating/deactivating code types, configuring prefixes and suffixes, activating inverse codes, adjusting the position and size of the scanned section, loading factory defaults, etc.

EZConfig for Windows
For extensive and complex configurations please install the utility “EZConfig” from Honeywell. This utility is a browser-based interface for reading, editing and restoring scanner configuration data. It also allows you to save a complete configuration as a file (*.exm). This can then be transferred to the scanner of another device via EZConfig. Android devices, on the other hand, have a preinstalled scanner app for setting up the most frequently used scanner configurations.
If you still need help setting up the scanner please contact our support: +49 8142 47284 – 44

defective?

In case of a defect in equipment, individual components or the accessories supplied, a return shipment or repair can be arranged. BRESSNER Technology provides its own RMA form for this purpose. Please read the instructions on our website regarding the RMA procedure carefully before filling out the form and returning it. You can find the form on our website at: https://www.bressner.de/en/rma/ You can also contact our RMA department on weekdays from 8AM - 5PM by phone: +49 8142 47284 - 24

Where do I find my Windows license key / license sticker?

For systems with replaceable batteries, the sticker with the license key is located in the battery compartment. For systems with a permanently installed battery, the sticker is on the back of the device. In special cases there may be no license sticker at all, in which case the license key is rooted in the BIOS (OEM 3.0 activation).

I only see a small sticker, but not the license key?

In this case it is the ePKEA version of the license sticker, which means the Bressner OEM product key is integrated into the image. The key itself is not visible to the user (in plain text).

The Windows setup (OOBE) asks for a license key. How can I activate

Windows?

Please skip this step without entering a key, the Windows product key was already stored by us in the installation. When the OOBE is completed and an internet connection is established for the first time, Windows 10 activates automatically within a few minutes.

Important information about Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC
Please read and observe the following instructions concerning the operating system(s):

The LTSC versions deliberately do not receive any feature updates, the original versions are always retained.
Avoidance of lengthy update processes, faulty updates or incompatibilities with new versions
Secure operation, since security updates and patches are performed via Windows update or manual installation
Software update from LTSC to standard Win11/Win10 version not possible (only by new installation with new licensing)
10 years guaranteed support by Microsoft from date of introduction
Full driver and software compatibility (except UWP apps) with all popular Win11/Win10 versions Home/Pro/Enterprise)
Domain integration possible
Slim basic installation without superfluous add-ons
Systems can be used worldwide (special regulations of different countries do not apply to IoT Embedded Licensing)
Low-cost licensing model in three price levels, depending on processor performance (Entry, Value, High End)
ATTENTION: The LTSC versions deliberately do not contain a Microsoft Store and the installation of Microsoft (UWP) apps is not possible. The only exception is the Microsoft CameraApp, which was preinstalled on the device by Bressner Technology in order to be able to use the camera(s). Win11/Win10-compatible programs, on the other hand, can be installed with no issue (examples for browsers: Microsoft Edge Browser, IE11, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.)
Systems with IoT Embedded Licensing are not covered by support contracts with Microsoft (Enterprise Licensing).
