Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.

  • Page 20: Operating The Reader

    DATALOGIC 1.6 OPERATING THE READER 1.6.1 Aiming System The LYNX™ reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on cameras. The aiming system creates a field of view where the code is to be positioned: Figure 1.3 - Aiming System When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code.

  • Page 21: Decoding

    The field of view created by the aiming system will be smaller when the Lynx™ is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit.

    DATALOGIC WEDGE LYNX™ Alphanumeric Keys The reader can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types and nationalities through a simple keyboard setting procedure The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting command.
  • Page 38 LYNX™ WEDGE DATALOGIC Some ASCII characters may be missing as this depends on the type of keyboard: these are generally particular characters relative to the various national symbologies. In this case: • The first 4 characters (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) can only be substituted with keys not used, or substituted with each other.

  • Page 39: Extended Keys

    DATALOGIC WEDGE LYNX™ Extended Keys The header/terminator selection is not effected by the reading of the restore default code. In fact, header and terminator default values depend on the interface selection: RS232: no header, terminator CR-LF WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER These default values are always restored through the reading of RS232 or WEDGE interface selection code.
  • Page 40 LYNX™ WEDGE DATALOGIC The extended Header/Terminator keys for Wedge Interface users can be customized by defining them through a simple keyboard setting procedure. For example, the Numeric Keypad keys can be set for use as Headers or Terminators by substituting the default extended keys during this procedure.
  • Page 41 DATALOGIC WEDGE LYNX™ • If the first 4 KEYS (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) are not available on your keyboard, you can only substitute them with keys not used, or substitute them with each other. • Keys 5 to 28 must be defined.
  • Page 42 LYNX™ WEDGE DATALOGIC Acoustic Signals Four types of acoustic signals are associated to the following procedures: 1. Enter keyboard setup 2. Exit keyboard setup 3. SHIFT, ALT, CTRL, BACKSPACE keys 4. Keyboard keys (SHIFT, ALT, CTRL, BACKSPACE excluded) These signals facilitate the selection of those characters requiring more than one key pressed simultaneously.
