User Manual for Tera 1500C / 2500C CCD 1D Barcode Scanner

Quick guide from the manual

This document serves as a programming guide for the Tera 1500C and 2500C CCD 1D Barcode Scanners. Configuration is performed by scanning the specific barcodes provided in this manual. To apply a setting, simply scan the corresponding barcode. The scanner will typically emit a beep to confirm the setting has been accepted.

General Settings

You can reset the scanner to its original state or customize its behavior:

• Factory Default: Scan the 'Factory Default' barcode to reset all settings to the manufacturer's original configuration.
• Custom Factory Default: You can save your own custom settings as the new default. Scan 'Set Custom Defaults', configure your desired settings, and then scan 'Save Custom Defaults'.
• Beeper Settings: Adjust the beeper sound (On/Off) and volume (Up/Down) to suit your environment.

Communication Settings

The scanner supports different communication interfaces:

• USB Keyboard Interface (USB-KBW): The default mode. The scanner acts as a standard USB keyboard.
• USB-COM Virtual Serial Port: Allows the scanner to function as a serial device. Note that this requires a driver to be installed on the host device.
• USB Transfer Speed: You can toggle 'USB Fast Transfer On' or 'Off' depending on your host system's requirements.
• Intercharacter Delay: Adjustable from 0 to 30ms (default is 4ms) to optimize data transfer speed.

Scan Modes

Choose the scanning behavior that fits your workflow:

• Manual Trigger Mode: The scanner only reads when the trigger is pressed.
• Continuous Scan Mode: The scanner remains active and reads barcodes automatically. It will not read the same barcode twice while it remains in the read range.
• Sensor-activated Mode: The scanner detects objects and activates scanning automatically. Note: Switch to Manual Trigger Mode first before enabling this.

Data Editing

You can modify the output data format before it is sent to the host:

• Prefix/Suffix: You can add custom characters to the beginning or end of the scanned data. Scan the 'Add Prefix/Suffix' barcode, then scan the characters from the 'Character Chart' in the appendix, and finish by scanning 'Save and Exit'.
• Hiding Characters: You can hide specific digits from the output (e.g., first, last, or middle digits) to format the data as needed.
• Terminators: Configure the scanner to send specific terminators like CR, LF, or HT after the data.

Symbology Configuration

The scanner supports a wide range of 1D symbologies, including UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Code 11, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, MSI, Plessey, China Post, and GS1 DataBar. Each symbology can be enabled or disabled, and specific parameters like 'Transmit Check Character' or 'Transmit Leading Characters' can be toggled.
