Note the “Y” split connector at the end of the supplied keyboard wedge cable, plug the now

disconnected computer keyboard into the matching socket at the end of the “Y” cable.

Now insert the plug at the free end of the “Y” connector (now with keyboard attached) into the

computer’s socket where the keyboard normally attaches and was originally connected. You are

now free to power up the computer and use the 1166/1266 portable wireless scanner.

The scanner’s operation can be tested by using Windows Notepad or MS Word as a receiving

program, try scanning in sample barcodes to establish RF connection, the scanner will emit a low

and a high beep for each scan if the connection was unsuccessful. A single beep means OK.

During day to day use, an advantage in overall operational range may be gained by ensuring the

base station / R.F. receiver is located in the most elevated position practicable.

NOTE:-

If the base station is supplied with a keyboard wedge “Y” cable a PS2 style keyboard MUST be

connected to the spare socket. If the associated computer has a wireless keyboard or the

keyboard is connected via a USB connector then the keyboard wedge “Y” cable cannot be used,

instead the base station must be connected to the computer via a Cipher USB connector. An

optional USB cable assembly is available if required.

Using the Cipher 1166/1266 Scanner

The Cipher 1166/1266 Wireless portable barcode scanner and its sister model the fixed cabled

Cipher 1100 employ the increasingly popular extended distance reading CCD technology. The

CCD or (Charged Couple Device) reading methodology in barcode readers is more often

encountered in the popular hand held low cost reading devices, these units usually have the

ability to read barcodes from a distance of Zero to Two or Three Centimeters. The ability to read

barcodes from a greater distance has until recently been restricted to Laser Scanners a

completely different technology that employs high intensity laser light. The Cipher 1100 & 1166

are not laser scanners but do employ advanced optics with CCD reading to allow barcodes to be

scanned from a greater distance. In contrast the Cipher model 1266 uses the more traditional

laser scanner.

When using these new readers it is more likely that good reading results will be obtained if the

barcodes are scanned with the angle of reading slightly tilted from the vertical and from a

distance of 5 to 20 Centimeters. The best range will vary and does depend upon the density and

scale of print used to create the barcodes. To discover the most optimum range begin by holding

the scanner at a much greater distance from the barcode to be read, squeeze the trigger and at

the same time slowly bring the scanner closer into the barcode until the scanner beeps to indicate

a good read. Once the most optimum range has been established it should become second

nature when using the 1100, 1166 and 1266 readers to scan the barcodes from this distance,

holding the scanner extremely close (0 – 2 Cm) to the bar code is more likely to give poor results.

Note (1):-

When the 1166/1266 scanner has been parked in its base station for an extended period of time

the RF connection can go into sleep mode (Default 10 minutes – Programmable up to 255

minutes), this is denoted by the slow flashing of the blue LED on the base station. Following this

situation, the scanner will need to re-establish RF link the next time it is used, this is done

automatically the first time the scanner’s trigger is activated, a double low and a high beep is

emitted when this is completed. Upon the RF link again being re-established normal operation

can then continue, the blue LED on the base station will now be flashing rapidly. (See included

program chart).

Note (2):-

Some barcode readers including the 1100, 1166 can be set to read barcodes without the need to

squeeze the operating trigger (Button). This mode is known as continuous reading and is not

recommended for use with the 1166 Wireless portable barcode reader because of the higher

battery consumption rate necessary to support the constant illumination of the LEDs.
