6 Introduction to installation Note: If any of the below operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and check the image platform for any improper connections. Go through all steps again. 6-1 Installation - keyboard wedge 1. Switch off the host and unplug the keyboard connector. 2.
6-2 Installation - RS-232 1. Switch off the host. 2. Attach the phone jack connector of the RS-232 cable to Host interface on the image platform. 3. Connect another end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port (PIN 9) on the device. 4.
7 Parameter menus 7-1 Single-parameter setting by scanning barcodes Important notes: 1. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness. LED will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed. 2. After each successful programming, LED will go off and the image platform will beep twice. 3.
7-2 Operate the image platform by receiving command via UART Note: 1- The information in this chapter is provided for the image platform with RS232 cable or USB cable. 2- If the image platform is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual COM”.
7-3 Interface selection This image platform supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS-232 serial wedge, and USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable provided by the manufacturer will work for a specific interface. Interface selection: Auto detection- By setting this function, the image platform will automatically detect the keyboard wedge, RS-232 or USB interface for user.
7-4 Keyboard wedge interface Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the image platform supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. Keyboard layout: The image platform supports different national keyboard layouts. Commonly an 7-7 Scan appropriate encoding system must be selected. Please refer to Character encoding system of “ mod &...
