Programming the Scanner To program the scanner, you must scan a series of programming barcodes in the correct order. In the back of this manual, you will see a table of alphanumeric barcodes, which are used to program the various options presented. To program each option, you must: 1.
Interface Selection The decoder in the scanner supports interfaces such as USB, keyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge and wand emulation. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable with a device code will work for a specific interface. Program Option Bar Code Option...

Keyboard wedge As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. The installation of the wedge is a fairly simple process without any changes of software or hardware. Keyboard Type: Select the keyboard type connector for your host computer.
Page 9
Keyboard wedge & USB Keyboard Emulation Keyboard Layout: The selecting of keyboard layout supports many country languages other than the USA keyboard layout. Keyboard Speed: By selecting, you can change the output speed of the scanner to match the host computer. This is generally set to 00 or 01 to work in high speed mode.

RS-232 CTS: Clear To Send (Hardware Signal) RTS: Request To Send (Hardware Signal) Xon: Transmit On (ASCII Code 11 Xoff: Transmit Off (ASCII Code13 Flow control: None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without regard for any hardware or software handshaking protocol.
Wand Emulation Bar/space polarity: High/low- Black will be transmitted as a high voltage level (+5) and space as low level (0V). Low/high- Black will be transmitted as a low voltage level (0V) and space as high level (+5). Initial polarity: Initial signal state is a High voltage level (+5) or a Low voltage level (0V).
Wand Emulation Output speed: This setting is the same as the serial transmission baud rate, and it must be approbated to your wand decode resolution. The unit of speed is a width of minimum narrow bar (X dimension). Margin delay: The width of margin time will be added before and after in each barcode data automatically when it is transmitted.

Scan Scanning mode: Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning. The light source of the scanner stops scanning when there is a successful read or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapses. Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press the button to activate scanning and release the button to stop scanning.
