Meet the Z4 DataTraq

The Z4 DataTraq Portable Barcode Reader is a simple to use Australian

designed product backed up by ASP’s friendly support staff. Here are

some of the features of the Z4 DataTraq:

2 products in 1 The Z4 DataTraq functions as both a battery powered

Portable Barcode Reader and a fixed reader, giving you two products

for the price of one.

Multiple interfaces With both RS-232 and PC keyboard wedge

interfaces built in, the Z4 DataTraq can connect to practically anything.

Automatic recharging If your application involves a mixture of fixed

and portable use, you don’t need to remember to charge the

Z4 DataTraq’s batteries – this is automatic when the unit is connected

to its Homebase.

Choice of scanners The Z4 DataTraq has been designed to support a

wide variety of scanners, from the ASP Wand 2000, through our

Barcode Zapper and BigBeam CCD Scanners, right up to ASP’s really

long distance Laser Scanner.

Ready to use Turn the Z4 DataTraq on and it actually does

something, right out of the box! No complex startup procedure, it’s

ready to scan barcodes immediately.

User programmable The Z4 DataTraq contains an easy to use internal

programming language

And there’s more! You get keys sized for real people, a clear LCD

display, automatic barcode symbology discrimination, 32k, 128k or

512k of memory, an optional leather case, and a two year warranty.

Using the Wand

It only takes a few minutes practice for you to become a whiz with a

wand.

Hold the wand in your hand like an ordinary pen or pencil, with your

finger over the “press to read” switch. For the best performance, you

should hold the wand on a slight angle - about 10 to 20 degrees from

straight up and down.

When scanning a barcode, you should move your hand and forearm in

the direction of the scan without twisting your wrist, so that the barcode

wand won’t tilt from side to side - see the illustration below:

Start with the wand tip in the white space at either end of the barcode,

about a centimetre from the first bar. The Z4 DataTraq is able to read

barcodes whether they are scanned left to right or right to left. The

ideal scan path is indicated on the left below.

Press the wand and scan the test barcode label on the right below,

quickly and lightly. A successful scan will be indicated by an audible

“beep” - if there is no beep, you must try again.

Wand Scanning Hints

• Scanning should be uniform and rapid; fast scans work best.

• Relax your hand - a stiff or jerky action won't produce good results.

• Start scanning in the white space before the label, about a centimetre

from the bars.

• Take care not to wander off part way through the barcode, and

follow through into the white space following the barcode.

• The wand must remain in contact with the label, but there’s no need

to press down hard.

• Labels are easiest to read on a flat surface.

Barcode Label Hints

• You should try to avoid using poor quality labels or inappropriate

types of barcodes. If in doubt, discuss this with your dealer.

• Try to guard against barcode damage such as:

♦ Liquid spills on the barcode symbol (coffee, etc).

♦ Ink smearing or erased bars which may result from excessive

pressure on the barcode surface.

♦ Scratches through the barcode symbol.

♦ Writing across the barcode symbol.

• The use of a protective covering, such as “invisible” sticky tape or

clear Contact, will prolong the useful life of a barcode label.

The Z4 DataTraq has been designed to provide a high first read rate

when a good symbol is scanned. A low first read rate is normally

caused by either a damaged barcode symbol or improper operation of

the system by the operator.

The Keypad

The keyboard of the

Z4 DataTraq contains two shift

keys; a BLUE key and a YELLOW

key. These shift keys are used to

access the blue and yellow

characters shown on each key.

The shift keys operate differently

to those on a computer keyboard

or typewriter – on the

Z4 DataTraq, you press a shift

key once and released it, then

press the required key. The

keyboard then returns to the

normal unshifted state.

If you mistakenly press a shift

key, simply press it a second

time to return the keypad to the

normal unshifted state. If you press the wrong shift key, just press the
