Kercan Barcode Scanner Manual Page

To set up and operate a Kercan barcode scanner, most models function as "Plug and Play"

devices that do not require external drivers for basic operation. For specialized configurations like adding carriage returns, changing interface modes, or factory resetting, you must scan specific command barcodes found in the physical or digital manual. Initial Setup & Connection Wired USB Connection

: Plug the USB cable into an active port on your computer. You should hear a confirmation "click" or a beep from the scanner. The device will typically be recognized as a "HID Keyboard Device". Wireless/Bluetooth Pairing

Ensure the USB receiver (dongle) is firmly inserted if using 2.4GHz wireless. For Bluetooth models, scan the "Pairing Barcode"

from your manual. The scanner's LED (usually blue) will flash until successfully paired with your host device (phone, tablet, or PC). Tera Digital Essential Configuration Commands

Kercan scanners are customized by scanning barcodes rather than using software menus. Common commands include: Factory Reset : Scan the "Restore Defaults"

barcode if the device becomes unresponsive or needs a clean slate. Suffixes (Enter/Tab) : Most users scan a command barcode to add an automatic "Enter" (Carriage Return)

after every scan to move to the next field in software like Excel. Interface Modes : You can switch between (simulates typing) and SPP/BLE modes

(serial communication) depending on your application's needs. Usage Best Practices

This report outlines the essential operational and programming features of Kercan barcode scanners, based on the standard user manuals for their 1D and 2D models. 1. Connection and Installation

Kercan scanners typically offer plug-and-play functionality via USB or wireless modes.

Wired Setup: Connect the micro-USB end to the scanner and the standard USB end to your computer. The system automatically identifies the connection and transmits data. 2.4G Wireless Setup: Scan the Enter Setting Mode barcode. Scan 2.4G Wireless Mode followed by Pair with WIFI dongle. To set up and operate a Kercan barcode

Plug the USB receiver into the computer. A "Di" beep indicates successful pairing.

Bluetooth Pairing: Hold the trigger for roughly 7 seconds until the indicator flashes blue. Search for the scanner (often named "ScanAvenger HID" or similar "Wireless Scanner" IDs) in your device's Bluetooth menu to pair. 2. Operational Modes

Kercan scanners support multiple scanning and transmission behaviors:

Manual Scanning: The default mode where the scanner activates only when the trigger is pressed. It turns off once a code is decoded or the trigger is released.

Induction/Auto-Scan Mode: The scanner detects motion and automatically activates the red aiming line and white LED to read codes.

Inventory/Storage Mode: Allows scanning without a live connection. Data is saved to internal memory and can be uploaded later by scanning a specific "Upload" barcode. 3. Programming and Customization

Programming is performed by scanning specific setup barcodes found in the User Manual. User Manual

A key feature of Kercan barcode scanners is the ability to configure custom data suffixes and prefixes, allowing you to automate keyboard actions like "Enter" or "Tab" after every scan. 🛠️ Configuration Highlights

Most Kercan scanners use configuration barcodes found in the manual to toggle these features:

Auto-Enter/Suffix: Automatically adds a Carriage Return (CR) or Line Feed (LF) after a scan to move to the next row in Excel or a database.

Auto-Tab: Switches the suffix to a Tab character to move the cursor to the next field or column.

Continuous/Sense Mode: Switches from manual trigger to automatic sensing, where the scanner activates only when it detects a barcode in front of the lens.

Inventory/Storage Mode: Saves scanned codes to internal memory (up to 50,000+ codes) to be uploaded to a PC later, useful when working out of wireless range. ⚙️ How to "Generate" a Feature

To enable a specific feature, you must scan a sequence of barcodes from the Kercan User Manual: Kercan barcode scanner USB cable Quick start guide

Enter Setup: Scan the "Enter Setup" or "Start Configuration" barcode.

Function Code: Scan the specific code for the feature (e.g., "Add CR Suffix" or "Sense Mode").

Exit & Save: Scan the "Exit Setup" or "Save & Exit" barcode to apply changes. POSGuys How To: Set Up A Barcode Scanner

Kercan Barcode Scanner Manual: Setup, Configuration, and Troubleshooting

The Kercan barcode scanner is a high-performance, versatile tool designed for retail, inventory management, and office automation. Whether you are using a wired USB model or a wireless Bluetooth version, this guide provides the essential steps found in a standard Kercan user manual to get your device running efficiently. 1. Initial Setup and Installation

Most Kercan scanners are designed for "Plug-and-Play" functionality, meaning they are automatically detected as a Human Interface Device (HID) by Windows, Mac, or Linux systems.

Wired USB Connection: Plug the USB cable into the scanner's port (often an RJ45 or Micro-USB interface) and connect the other end to your computer's USB port.

Wireless 2.4G Connection: Insert the included USB dongle into your computer. The scanner should automatically pair once triggered. Bluetooth Pairing:

Turn on the scanner by holding the trigger button until a blue light flashes.

Enable Bluetooth on your device (tablet, phone, or laptop) and search for the scanner’s HID name.

Select and pair the device. A successful connection is usually confirmed by a beep. 2. Common Configuration Barcodes

Kercan scanners use specific barcodes to change internal settings. To program your device, you generally follow this sequence: scan "Enter Setting Mode", scan the "Function Barcode", and then scan "Exit Setting Mode". Carriage Return (Enter Key) Suffix

By default, some scanners may not automatically move the cursor to the next line after a scan. To enable this: User Manual


1. Interface Selection

7. Programming the scanner (typical workflow)

  1. Open the user manual’s programming section and locate the “SET” barcodes.
  2. Scan the “Enter Programming Mode” barcode.
  3. Scan option barcodes to toggle features (e.g., enable/disable symbologies, set suffix/prefix, choose interface).
  4. Scan “Save” (or “Exit and Save”) barcode to store changes — some models require scanning a final “END” or “Exit” barcode. Note: changes often persist across power cycles.

Example common programming actions:

(Exact barcodes differ by model — use your model’s programming sheet.)

1. Quick start (out of box)

  1. Connect:
    • USB-HID: plug into a free USB port — scanner should enumerate as a keyboard.
    • USB-COM / RS232: install drivers if required, connect serial cable, set host app to correct COM port and settings (see section 3).
  2. Auto-trigger models: place barcode in front of window; scanner will read automatically. Hand-trigger: press trigger.
  3. Verify by scanning a simple EAN/UPC or Code 128 barcode into Notepad — data should appear where the text cursor is.
