Preface Introduction This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up and using the NLS-BS80 barcode scanner (hereinafter referred to as “the BS80” or “the scanner”). Chapter Descriptions Chapter 1, Getting Started : This chapter provides information on getting the scanner up and running for the first time.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The BS80 is a wireless pocket barcode scanner equipped with 1D or 2D scan engine to meet different needs. It is a great space-saver for busy or limited workspaces. It also supports iOS, Android, and Windows devices through Bluetooth HID or SPP communication.

Functions of the Buttons Scan/Power Button *Press the button to scan barcode when the scanner is on. *Hold down the button for 3 seconds to power it on when the scanner is off. Delete/Reset Button *Press the button to remove the corresponding data from the USB storage area of FLASH memory in the Batch mode before scanning the barcode to be deleted.
Charging the Battery Charge the scanner by connecting it to a host device with Micro USB cable, as shown below. Note: Low battery may result in failure or misoperation of the scanner. Before your first use, charge the battery for 3-4 hours.
Connecting the BS80 to Smartphone/Tablet 1. Make sure your device has HID or SPP profile. 2. Turn off the Power-Saving mode on your smartphone/tablet first. If the red Function LED on the scanner illuminates, hold down the Scan/Power button and Function button at the same time for 3 seconds or scan the barcode below to switch to the Real-Time mode.

BS80XXXX Connected BS80XXXX 5. After the connection is completed, the blue Function LED on the scanner will illuminate. 6.
LED Notifications Charging/Battery LED Red LED on Charging in progress. Green LED on Fully charged. Red and green LEDs flash alternately Battery not found. Red LED flashes Low battery alert. If the scanner is on and it is not connected to PC via USB cable, pressing the Scan/Power button and Delete/Reset button at the same time can display the battery level with the Charging/Battery LED.
Turning the BS80 On/Off Turn the scanner on: Press the Scan/Power button. Turn the scanner off: By default, the scanner automatically powers off if no operation is performed on the scanner for 30 minutes. You can adjust the auto power-off timer. You can also turn off the scanner by scanning the Power Off barcode.
Scanning Instructions Scanning 1D Barcode Adjust the scan angle (Do not read barcode at vertical degree) or the distance between barcode and the scanner to ensure that the length of the scan line is roughly 8mm greater than that of the barcode, as shown below.
Chapter 2 System Settings Introduction This chapter describes how to configure the basic system parameters on the scanner. Restore Factory Defaults Restore Factory Defaults Operating Modes The scanner provides two operating modes: Real-Time mode (Bluetooth mode) and Batch mode. 1. Real-Time mode Real-Time Mode (default) When the scanner is in the Real-Time mode, scanning the following barcodes can switch between Bluetooth HID and SPP profiles.
Page 18
There are two data transmission modes: Synchronous mode and Asynchronous mode. (1) Synchronous mode: When you scan barcodes, the data will be sent to smartphone/tablet directly. If you are out of Bluetooth service range, scanned data will be lost. (2) Asynchronous mode: When you are out of Bluetooth service range, scanned data will be saved in the FLASH memory.
Query Scanner Information Query the Firmware & Hardware Versions of Scanner Query the Manufacture Date of Scanner Query the Serial Number of Scanner Query/Delete the Data in FLASH The FLASH memory is divided into a USB storage area (used to save the data acquired in the Batch mode) and a Bluetooth storage area (used to save the data acquired in Bluetooth asynchronous mode).
Sound Notifications Turn sound notifications on or off by scanning the appropriate barcode below. After this feature is enabled, the scanner beeps when one of the following events occurs: 1. The scanner is turned on. 2. The scanner resets. 3. A barcode is decoded (including good read for removing barcode data from the FLASH memory in the Batch mode).
Vibration Notifications Turn vibration notifications on or off by scanning the appropriate barcode below. After this feature is enabled, the scanner vibrates when one of the following events occurs: 1. A barcode is decoded (including good read for removing barcode data from the FLASH memory in the Batch mode).
Inter-Character Delay for Bluetooth HID Select an appropriate inter-character delay to avoid data loss during transmission. This parameter is only valid in the Bluetooth HID mode. 15ms (default) 35ms 25ms Query Inter-Character Delay 45ms Delete Bluetooth Pairing Delete Bluetooth Pairing...
Automatic/Manual Power-Off By default, the scanner automatically powers off if no operation is performed on the scanner for 30 minutes. This feature can help to extend battery life. Query Auto Power-Off Timer Set the auto power-off timer: Scan the Set Auto Power-Off Timer barcode then one of the timers listed below.

You can power off your scanner manually by scanning the barcode below. Power Off Note: After the Power Off barcode is scanned, the scanner emits a long beep and then turns off.
Time Stamp You can decide whether to send date and time or not by enabling or disabling time stamp. Enable Time Stamp (default) Disable Time Stamp Set Date Format Format 1: mm/dd/yyyy Format 2: dd/mm/yyyy 01/23/2011) (example: 23/01/2011) (example: Format 3: yyyy/mm/dd (default) (example: 2011/01/23)
Set Date & Time Step 1: Double click on BS80Setting.exe to run BS80 Date&Time Setting Tool. Then check the “Auto-sync date and time with the host” item on it. Step 2: After the time in the box is in sync with the system clock, click the “Generate Barcode” button. Step 3: Scan the barcode generated to set the date and time on the scanner.
Convert Case No Case Conversion (default) Convert All to Upper Case Convert All to Lower Case Invert Upper and Lower Case Characters Inter-Keystroke Delay for KBW To set the inter-keystroke delay, scan the following barcode and a digit barcode (0~F). Note: 0~F corresponds to 3ms (default), 8ms, 13ms, 18ms, 23ms, 28ms, 33ms, 38ms, 43ms, 48ms, 53ms, 58ms, 63ms, 68ms, 73ms and 78ms respectively.
Upgrade the Firmware Step 1: Install the driver: Run the CDC - Virtual COM Driver v1.1.0 program and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation processs. (Skip this step if it is already installed on your PC.) Make sure that the driver is properly installed. You cannot upgrade the firmware without it. Step 2: Run the BS80Update program.

Step 4: Hold down the Function button and the Delete/Reset button on the scanner at the same time for 7 seconds to upgrade the firmware. The red and blue Function LEDs flash alternately during the updating process. Step 5: Wait for the “Firmware upgraded!” window to pop up and click “OK” to exit the program. Note: If this utility does not operate normally, check to see if the FirmwarePath in the UpdataTool.ini file is correct (its value should be identical with the name of the .bin file).
Chapter 3 Symbologies Introduction Every symbology (barcode type) has its own unique attributes. This chapter provides programming barcodes for configuring the scanner so that it can identify various barcode symbologies. It is recommended to disable those that are rarely used to increase the efficiency of the scanner. 1D Scan Engine 1D Symbologies Code 39...
