STEP 3 – AUTO-LEARNING CONFIGURATION
An autolearning procedure is available to reduce installation time.
Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of four colored
LEDs, whereas the single push button and F1 and F2 LEDs give immediate access
to the following relevant functions:
• Positioning (F1) gives visual feedback from the F1 LED to help center the
code in the reader's FOV without external tools or software programs
• Auto Learn (F2) to self-detect and auto-configure calibration and code
setting parameters
• Restore Default (F3) to return to factory default settings
The colors and meaning of the four status LEDs are illustrated in the following table:
PWR (red) This LED indicates the device is powered
TRIG (yellow) This LED indicates the external trigger activity
READ (red)
This LED confirms successful reading. It is also used to signal successful startup. At power on this LED
turns on and after a few seconds turns off. If the startup is not successful, this LED remains on.
COM (green) This LED indicates active communication on the main serial port.
AUTO LEARN
If you are configuring your reader using the Auto Learn procedure:
1. Place the desired code in front of the reader at the correct reading distance (depending on the model, see the
Reading Features table in the Appendix of this Quick Reference Guide).
2. Enter the Auto Learn function (F2) by pressing and holding the push button until only the F2 LED is on.
3. Release the button to enter the Auto Learn function.
Once entered, the reader acquires an image and automatically configures the optimal exposure and gain
parameters as well as detecting and recognizing the code, which is presented to it. The F2 LED blinks during
this process.
4. At the end of the procedure, the new configuration parameters will be stored to permanent memory, the F2
LED remains on continuously and then the function automatically exits, the F2 LED turns off.
If the Auto Learn calibration cannot be reached within a short timeout (max. 1 minute), Matrix-1000™ will exit
without saving the configuration parameters, the F2 LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop
blinking.
To cancel the Auto Learn function without saving the configuration parameters, press and hold the keypad button
at any time during the procedure: the F2 LED will stop blinking.

Repeat the procedure if needed, to program different code symbologies, however you must present only one
code at a time to the reader.
Matrix-1000™ is able to decode any code symbology in its library with this procedure.
