4.1 Conexión del escáner
The Symcode 1D Barcode Scanner is a plug-and-play device. No drivers are typically required for most operating systems.
- Locate an available USB port on your computer (Desktop, Laptop) or compatible device.
- Insert the USB connector of the scanner's cable into the USB port.
- The scanner will typically emit a short beep and/or a light indicator will turn on, signifying successful connection and readiness for use.

5. Funcionamiento del escáner
5.1 Escaneo básico
To scan a barcode, point the scanner's laser beam at the barcode you wish to read and press the trigger button (if in Key Trigger mode). The scanner will emit a successful scan beep and the data will be transmitted to your connected device as if typed by a keyboard.
The scanner can read 1D barcodes from both printed labels and digital screens, such as a smartphone display.
5.2 Modos de escaneo
El escáner admite tres modos de escaneo principales:
- Modo de disparo clave: Press the trigger to activate the scan. Release to stop.
- Modo de autoinducción: El escáner detecta automáticamente un código de barras dentro de su campo de view y lo escanea sin necesidad de presionar el gatillo.
- Modo continuo: The scanner continuously emits the laser beam, scanning any barcode that passes through its field.
Refer to the included configuration guide (often a set of barcodes) to switch between these modes. If auto-sensing is inactive, scan the appropriate configuration barcode to enable it.
5.3 Configuración de sonido
The scanner provides audible feedback for successful scans. You can turn this sound on or off according to your preference by scanning specific configuration barcodes.
Scan specific barcodes to enable or disable the scanner's sound feedback.
5.4 Customizing Data Output (Prefix/Suffix)
The scanner allows you to add custom prefixes or suffixes to the scanned barcode data. This feature is useful for integrating scanned data into specific software or databases that require additional identifiers.
The scanner can customize scanned data by adding prefixes or suffixes. Exampellos: RL123456789 (with prefix), 12345RL6789 (with middle text), 123456789RL (with suffix).
5.5 Tipos de códigos de barras admitidos
