This document provides instructions for setting up and configuring the Netum 1D/2D Wired Desktop Barcode Scanner. The scanner is plug-and-play via USB, with default settings optimized for most common terminal and communication requirements. Configuration is performed by scanning specific barcodes provided in this manual.
Operation
To start using the scanner:
- Connect the scanner to your host device using the USB cable.
- Wait for the power-on beep sound, which indicates the device is ready for data reading and transmission.
- By default, the scanner is set to auto-sensing mode. Barcodes passing through the scan window will be decoded and uploaded automatically.
Configuration
You can customize the scanner's behavior by scanning the configuration barcodes found in the manual:
- Communication Ports: Switch between USB-HID (default), USB-COM port emulation, TTL-232, and HID&TTL modes. Note that USB-COM emulation may require drivers on the host device.
- Trigger Modes: Toggle between Auto-sensing (default) and Continuous mode.
- Keyboard Language: Select the appropriate keyboard layout (e.g., American English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, etc.) to ensure correct data output.
- Terminator: Configure the suffix character (None, CR, TAB, or CR&LF).
- Beep Volume: Adjust the scanner's beep volume (Enable/Disable, Volume Up/Down).
Maintenance
If you need to revert the scanner to its original state, scan the Restore Factory Settings barcode. You can also scan the Firmware Version barcode to display the current firmware information.

If you encounter issues, refer to the FAQ section:
- Barcode not reading: Ensure the barcode is clean and not damaged. Check if the specific barcode type is enabled in the scanner settings.
- Data output errors: If characters are incorrect, ensure the correct keyboard language is selected.
- Specific codes not reading: For codes like Code32 or Add-on codes, ensure the corresponding feature is enabled via the configuration barcodes.
