How to Factory Reset Fixed Fixed-Mount Barcode Readers Without Connecting to DataMan Setup Tool

Guide to completely resetting a DataMan to the settings it was shipped with from the factory

14/09/2024

Question

How can I factory reset a DataMan reader if I am unable to connect to it with DataMan Setup Tool?

 

Answer
To reset the DataMan back to factory defaults, do the following:

  • Disconnect the power I/O cable from the DataMan.
  • Hold down the trigger button while reconnect the power I/O cable.  
  • Continue to hold the trigger button until you see the status LED flash red and green alternately, and there will be a quick succession of beeps.
  • The device should now be factory reset.

 

NOTES:  

  • A factory reset will force the camera to use DHCP for its network settings.
  • The above instructions only work on DataMan that have a physical trigger button and a removable power cable.
