The Xenon XP 195X series includes corded (1950g, 1950h) and cordless (1952g, 1952h, 1952g-BF, 1952h-BF) area-imaging scanners. Upon unpacking, ensure all items match your order and check for shipping damage. Save the shipping container for future storage.
Connecting the Device
Scanners can be connected via USB, Keyboard Wedge, RS232, or RS485. Note: Power supplies must be ordered separately if needed. For cordless models, ensure cables are secured in the wireways of the base.
Cordless System Operation
Cordless scanners link to a charge base or Access Point. To link, place the scanner in the base. A short chirp indicates a successful link. The page button on the base can be used to locate associated scanners. Battery Info: Charge the battery for at least 4 hours before initial use. Use only Honeywell Li-ion battery packs (model BAT-SCN05).
Programming the Interface
Scanners are factory-programmed for common settings. To change settings, scan the appropriate barcodes in this guide. Plug and Play barcodes are available for instant setup of common interfaces.
Input/Output Settings
Configure beeper volume, pitch, and duration for good reads and errors. Trigger modes include Manual Trigger, Trigger Toggle, and Serial Trigger. Presentation mode uses ambient light and scanner illumination to detect barcodes.
Healthcare Settings
Specialized settings for healthcare environments include quiet operations, such as silent modes with flashing LEDs or very low beepers, to avoid disturbing patients.
Data Editing and Formatting
Use the Data Edit section to add prefixes or suffixes to scanned data. The Data Format Editor allows for more complex output modifications, such as inserting characters or reordering data.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Clean the scanner housing and window with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent. Do not submerge the scanner. If the scanner is not functioning, check cable connections, ensure the battery is charged, and verify that the correct symbologies are enabled.
