Codonics Safe Label System SLS 500i Technical Brief

Codonics SLS 500i
Wired Hand Scanner
Overview
The Codonics Safe Label System™ SLS 500i™ supports the
®
use of a Motorola DS4208-HC barcode scanner as a wired
hand scanner for scanning labels on containers that are large
or not easily scanned by 500i (for example, IV bags).
When using the wired hand scanner with 500i, the scanner
must be in SNAPI mode (SNAPI is the scanner's
communication interface). By default, the scanner is shipped
in SNAPI mode.
NOTE: The use of the wired hand scanner requires a
feature key on 500i. Contact your Codonics Sales
Representative to obtain the proper key.
NOTE: It is recommended that you purchase the
DS4208-HC scanner from Codonics. A standard
DS4208-HC scanner will not provide the same
performance as a DS4208-HC scanner from Codonics,
which includes custom firmware.
Enabling the Use of a Wired Hand
Scanner in the SLS Configuration
Package
To enable the use of a wired hand scanner with 500i, the
Disable Wired Hand Scanner option on the Safety tab of the
Administration Tool's Configuration Manager section must
be deselected in the SLS configuration package, as shown in
the following figure.

Connecting the Wired Hand Scanner
to 500i
WARNING: The use of the wired hand scanner with
500i can create a tipping hazard. Secure 500i using the
VESA mount points on the bottom of 500i.
NOTE: It is recommended that you connect the wired
hand scanner to 500i prior to starting up or logging into
500i.
Included with the DS4208-HC barcode scanner are the
following components:
A wired hand scanner USB cable. This cable includes an
◆
RJ-45 connector that connects to the scanner and a
standard USB connector that connects to the USB
extension cable.
A USB extension cable. This cable provides a safe
◆
disconnect to reduce the risk of damage to 500i when the
wired hand scanner USB cable is pulled tight. The cable
has an angled male connector for connection to the touch
screen USB port 1 and a female connector for accepting
the wired hand scanner USB cable connector. A tie wrap
is attached to the cable near the female connector to
ensure that the cable cannot slide in the cable clip.
A cable clip. This clip is used to secure the USB extension
◆
cable to the back of the display stalk.
To connect the wired hand scanner to 500i:
1. Make sure that 500i is powered off.
2. Clean and disinfect the wired hand scanner. Refer to
"Cleaning and Disinfecting the Wired Hand Scanner"
later in this Technical Brief.
3. Clean the back of the display stalk and let it dry.
4. Attach the cable clip to the back of the display stalk.
If the 500i shelf is on the right side of the medical cart,
attach the cable clip between the two screws on the right
side of the display stalk, as shown in the following
figure.
