vi QuickScan™ QBT2400
 QuickScan™ QBT2400
Description
With rich feature sets and extensive options, the QuickScan™
product series from Datalogic represents the premium level of
data collection equipment for general purpose applications.
The QuickScan QBT2400 readers have enhanced optics with
improved motion tolerance allowing codes placed on fast
moving objects to be easily and quickly captured, creating the
ideal reader for tasks requiring high throughput like those
found in retail and light industrial environments.

To read a symbol simply aim the reader and pull

the trigger. The QuickScan QBT2400 is a powerful
omni-directional reader, so the orientation of the
symbol is not important.
Omni- Datalogic’s exclusive patented ‘Green Spot’ for
Directional good-read feedback helps to improve productivity
Operation in noisy environments or in situations where
silence is required. When using the product with
the cradle at a 45° position, the Green Spot can
work as an aiming system to aid in positioning the
bar code for quick and intuitive reading.

Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D

bar codes, including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes,
Postal Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as
GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar
Decoding
Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional).
The data stream — acquired from decoding a
symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.

Using the Quickscan™ QBT2400

Using the Quickscan™ QBT2400

The Quickscan™ QBT2400 normally functions by capturing and
decoding codes. The aiming system is activated on trigger pull
and indicates the center of the field of view which should be
positioned over the bar code:
Aiming System

Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

A beam illuminates the label. The projected pattern of the
aiming system will be smaller when the reader is closer to the
bar code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbolo-
gies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read
closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
If the aiming system is centered you will get a good read. Suc-
cessful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-
read green spot LED indicator.
Reference the QuickScan Q2400 Product Reference Guide
(PRG) on the Datalogic website for more information about
this feature and other programmable settings.

Programming

Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard
default features. After scanning the interface bar code from
the Interfaces section, select other options and customize
your reader through use of the programming bar codes avail-
able in the Product Reference Guide (PRG) or Datalogic Alad-
din™ configuration software (both available on the Datalogic
website).

Using Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig-
ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels require
only the scan of that single label to enact the change.
Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program-
ming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar
code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the desired
parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code again to
accept your changes, which exits Programming Mode and
returns the reader to normal operation.

Configure Other Settings

Additional programming bar codes are available to allow for
customizing programming features, if your installation
requires different programming than the standard factory
default settings. Reference the PRG or Datalogic Aladdin™
configuration software.

Resetting Standard Product Defaults

Reference the PRG for a listing of standard factory settings. If
you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader,
or you’ve changed some options and want the factory set-
tings restored, scan the bar code below to copy the factory
configuration for the currently active interface to the current
configuration.

Factory defaults are based on the interface

type. Configure the reader for the correct inter-
face before scanning this label.

Selecting the Base Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the base
and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for
information and programming for the interface type the base
is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB,
etc.) and scan the appropriate bar code to select your sys-
tem’s correct interface type.

Interface Selection
The base will support the following host interfaces:
• RS-232
• RS-232 OPOS
• USB
• Keyboard Wedge

For defaults and additional information associated with each

interface, proceed to the corresponding chapter in the Quick-
Scan Q2400 PRG.

Configuring the Interface

Scan the programming bar code which selects the appropriate
interface type for the system the reader will be connected to.

Unlike some other programming features and

options, interface selections require that you
scan only one programming bar code label. DO
NOTE NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scan-
ning an interface selection bar code.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in a
disabled state when powered up. If additional
configuration is desired in this state, pull the
trigger and hold for 5 seconds to change to a
state that allows programming with bar codes.

Scan Modes

Scan Modes
The imager can operate in one of several scanning modes.

Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is acti-

vated until one of the following occurs:
• a programmable duration1 has elapsed
• a label has been read
• the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader opera-
tion.

Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning

starts and the product scans until the trigger is released or a
programmable duration1 has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout1 prevents unde-
sired multiple reads while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple — When the trigger is pulled and

released, scanning is activated until programmable duration1
has elapsed or the trigger has been pulled again to transition
to another state. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired
multiple reads while in this mode.

Flashing — The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the

trigger status.

Always On — No trigger pull is required to read a bar code.

Scanning is continually on. If the trigger is pulled, the reader
acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read Timeout1
prevents undesired multiple reads while in this mode.

Stand Mode — No trigger pull is required to read a bar code.

Scanning is turned on automatically when an item is placed in
the reader’s field of view.
If you are using a SMART STAND like the STD-
AUTO-QD24-BK or WH, or the STD-AUTFLX-
QD24-BK or WH, Stand Mode is turned on auto-
matically when the scanner is positioned into
NOTE the stand and, if the trigger is pulled, the reader
acts as if it is in single read mode.

Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads

while in this mode.
