    • Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. Scanned data is interpreted by your host as keystrokes. • International Keyboards supported: North America, German, French, French International, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, British, Japanese, and Portuguese- Brazilian. • Wand Emulation connection to a host. The scanner is connected to a portable data terminal, a controller, or host which collects the data as wand data and decodes it.

Figure 2-2.

  • Page 30: Aiming

    Aiming Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult. You can tilt the scanner up to 55° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-3).

  • Page 95: Hardware Handshaking

    RS-232 Interface Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available.
  • Page 96 None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS.

  • Page 97: Software Handshaking

    RS-232 Interface RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
  • Page 98 ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
  • Page 99 RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character.
