Detailed Description

Datalogic's QuickScan Bar Code Reader

The Bar Code Reader (QD2430) is connected in Live Entry however it is bringing through the number of the code rather than the field that it is assigned to (ie. horned, sex, DOB)

To fix this, follow the following steps: 

  1. Find the Quick Reference Guide for the device. This can be found online here: https://www.bsr.at/mediafiles/Handbuch/Datalogic/Quick_Reference_Guide_QuickScan_QD2430_EN.pdf).
  2. On pages 5-6 of this Quick Reference Guide there is a section called 'Configuring the Interface'. At the moment, the device will be configured as a Keyboard Wedge if it isn't reading the correct fields. To configure it correctly, scan the USB Com to stimulate RS-232 standard interface (see below) which is on the top of page 6. 
  3. To test that it has worked, open up a word document or something similar. Scan a barcode and if it does not appear in the document, then it has worked and is configured correctly. 

Port Connectivity

  • If you are using a laptop with Live Entry, use the USB connector
  • If you are using a TSi with Live Entry, use the serial connector. The ports for a TSi should be 1 or 2. 1 is the port closest to the power supply (outside port) and 2 is the port closest to the load bar supply (inside port). 
  • How do I remove a cable? If you need to change between the two connectors, use a pin or a paperclip and enter it into the hole that is located towards the bottom inside of the scanner handle. This will enable you to remove each connector and insert another. 

Drivers (for support only)

If the scanner won't connect sometimes the drivers need to be loaded onto the computer.

When in Windows Device Manager, the device will have a little yellow triangle on it's icon - this means the drivers are not present. 

You may be able to right click on the device and an option saying update drivers. If this is not an option use the link below which will download a zip file with the drivers.
