Auxiliary Port Mode

NOTE
118
Selects the usage for the scanner's optional auxilliary port. The
choices listed below are mutually exclusive (only one option can be
active at a time).
• Disabled — Port is inactive
• External Handheld Input — Supports Datalogic
scanners (QuickScan 1000, QuickScan 6000, PowerScan) as
well as other models such as the Symbol
dealer for more information about supported devices.
Cable pinout information for the Auxiliary Port is provided in Appen-
dix B
of this manual. A connected handheld scanner must be config-
ured to transmit data as outlined in Appendix G .
• PIR/CT — PIR (Productivity Index Reporting) is a value-added
feature which allows the scanner to provide information to an
external computer indicating how easy the label was to read.
CT (Checker Training) is also a value-added feature which
allows the scanner to provide feedback to the cashier on how
to scan in a more ergonomic fashion.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You'll need to
cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to
ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to
scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
