Using a laser scanner

An optional laser scanner can be connected to your
PTC to allow bar codes on labels, boxes, etc. to be read
directly into the PTC's memory.
The following procedures assume that a software
driver for the laser scanner has already been installed
in your PTC.

Connecting a laser scanner

1. Turn off the PTC.
2. Plug the connector on the laser scanner into the
PTC's scanner connector.

Disconnecting a laser scanner

1. Turn off the PTC.
2. Turn off the laser scanner, if necessary.
3. Pull the connector on the laser scanner away from
the PTC's scanner connector.

Scanning bar codes

If your application has been set up to read bar codes,
your PTC can automatically recognize and interpret
one or more types of codes. See your application's
manual for the codes your PTC has been programmed
to recognize.
Your application program may prompt you when it
requires you to read a bar code. It may also alert you
when a bar code has been read successfully or warn
you when a read has failed.
