About the Reader
Product Reference Guide 3
About the Reader
The QuickScan™ QD2400 2D Imager was specifically created to address the needs of retailers and meet the
market demand with outstanding omni-directional reading performance on virtually all codes at an affordable
price. Elegant design details are incorporated into a smaller, balanced lightweight enclosure without sacrificing
Datalogic’s well-known durability.
Ideally suited for applications at the point of-sale (P
OS), the QuickScan QD2400 imager features a new
illumination and aiming system developed with the unique intent to reduce visual stress of the operator during the
daily scanning activities. It consists of a soft, dark red illumination combined with two blue LED triangles pointing
at the targeted bar code.
The result is a precise aiming system whic
h contributes to low eye fatigue, yet still allows top operator efficiency.
The QuickScan QD2400 imager reads typical printed linear bar cod
es as well as complex 2D bar codes displayed
on the screen of a mobile device or loyalty cards. The QD2400 imager provides a fast, reliable scan from an elegant
and robust 2D imager.
Imaging technology meets or exceeds the productivity compared to laser
scanners and provides the additional
advantages of a lower cost-of-ownership and greater product reliability over the long term.
Programming the Reader
4QuickScan™ I QD24XX
Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the interface bar code, you
can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instructions and programming bar code
labels available in the corresponding features section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are
found in "Configuration Parameters" start
ing on page15.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page13, require only the scan of the s
ingle label to
enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode pr
ior to scanning them.
Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode,
scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then
accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please read the
description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly configuration method
via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website.
Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical
interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface, or
they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade
for the connected device (see the Datalogic
Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connectors illustrated
above are examples only. Actual connectors may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to
connect the reader remain the same.
Interface Selection
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1 starting on page 9 to
select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the
appropriate bar code in that section to configure your
system’s correct interface type.
Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

Interface Selection
Product Reference Guide 9
Setting the Interface
Scan the programming bar code from this section which selects the appropriate interface type matching the system
the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding section in this manual (also listed in Tab le1 on
page 9) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require that you
scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to
scanning an interface selection bar code.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabl
ed state when powered up. If
additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it
for five seconds. The scanner will change to a state that allows programming with bar
codes.

Configuration Using Bar Codes
This and following sections provide programming bar codes to configure your reader by changing the default
settings. For details about additional methods of programming, see "Configuration Me
thods" on page 4.
You must first enable your reader to read bar codes in order to use this section. If you have not
done this, go to
Setup, starting on page 5
and complete the appropriate procedure.
Configuration Parameters
Once the reader is set up, you can change the default parameters to meet your application needs. Refer to "Standard
Defaults" starting on page 24
5 for initial configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for
your application.
The following configuration parameters are divided into logical groups, makin
g
it easy to find the desired function
based on its reference group.
Interface Configuration:
•"RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces" on page 24
•"Keyboard Settings" on page 33
Parameters common to all interface applications:
•"Data Format" on page47 gives options to control the messages sent to the Host system.
•"Reading Parameters" on page61 control various operating modes and indicators status functioning.
Symbology-specific parameters:
•"1D Symbologies" on page81 provides configuration of a personalized mix of 1D codes, code families and
their options.
•"2D Symbologies" on page173 provides configuration of a personalized mix of 2D codes, code families and
their options.
You must first enable your reader to read bar codes in order to use this section. If you have not
done this, go to
Setup, starting on page 5
and complete the appropriate procedure.
To program features:
1.Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code, available at the top of each programming page, when
applicable.
2.Scan the bar code to set the desired programming featur
e. You may need to cover unused bar codes on the
page, and possibly the facing page, to ensure that the reader reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3.If additional input parameters are needed, go to Appendix D, Keypad, and scan the appropriate characters
from the keypad.
Additional information about many features can be found in the “References” chapter.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code to abort and not
sav
e the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
4.Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code to exit
Programming Mode.

guration items,
see R
eferences,starting on page 205.
By default, the handheld will decode bar code labels only when they are close to the center
of the aiming pattern. This allows the handheld to accurately target labels when they are
placed close together, such as on a pick sheet. See
Pick Mode, starting on page 72.
