The Setup guidelines below will take you to English documentation. You can access the localized User Guides in the MANUALS section.

Confirm that you have the following equipment.

• DS3608-SR scanner
• Zebra proprietary USB cable
• Other host interfaces setup are described in the DS3608-SR Product Reference Guide (for example,  Keyboard Wedge Interface)

First Time Connection steps

1.    Connect the RJ41 end of the USB cable to the handle of the DS3608-SR scanner.

2.    Connect the USB end of the cable to your computer USB port.

3.    The DS3608-SR will power up with low, medium, high beeps

4.    Pull the DS3608-SR trigger and confirm a scan beam is present.

5.    Scan Return To Factory Defaults programming barcode from the DS3608 Quick Start Guide.

Note: When scanning a programming barcode from a screen/monitor, increase magnification to a minimum of 125%. This will ensure good barcode quality for a successful scan.

6.    To test sending a barcode, open a text document in an application such as Microsoft Word or Notepad.

Ensure that you can type into the text document using your keyboard.

Scan a product barcode.

7.    The scanned barcode will be displayed in the text document.
