“good read” indicator, and beep to signal a successful read. The Barcode Zapper has been pre-programmed to read most barcode types you are likely to encounter. For special requirements, please contact ASP or your dealer.
Scanning nicely printed barcode labels is simple, and most scanners can easily read well-printed labels. But because there are so many poorly printed barcode labels in the real world, the Barcode Zapper has been designed to handle printing tolerances of up to ± 200% to help it to read virtually any barcode label, even if it’s badly printed.
Barcode scans simply appear as if typed on the keyboard. To install the USB interface Barcode Zapper, all you need to do is plug it into any USB connector on your computer. The USB port provides all the power required for the Barcode Zapper.
The Wand Emulation interface uses a female D9 connector, with wand data on pin 2, ground on pin 7 and +5v on pin 9. The Barcode Zapper is a low power scanner, ideally suited to portable applications. RS-232 Output The RS-232 interface outputs decoded barcode scans using ASCII codes and the RS-232 standard.
