If you do not have the correct cable, call your Intermec representative. Connect the wand or scanner cable to the “input” modular connector on the reader rear panel.
  • Page 19 For most wand and scanner operations, the reader uses power from the workstation. If the workstation cannot supply the required power at +5V for the wand or scanner, the reader requires an additional power supply. Your WIF guide lists the workstations that require an external power supply.

The following parameters define the data source (scanner or serial port) and the characters to strip from data records that the reader receives. You can configure these parameters running Standard Operation or Data Edit, but the parameters only function when the Data Edit application is running.
  • Page 103 These parameters strip characters from data records the reader receives. For example, these parameters are useful when you use the Window parameter for a scale connected to the reader serial port. Scales send several types of information, such as count, weight, and data that typically goes to a printer.

  • Page 122 Refers to specific letters, numerals, and symbols that support a particular language (French, US, ASCII). A character included in a bar code whose value is used to do a mathematical check on the value of the decoded bar code to retain accuracy.
  • Page 123 A bar code symbology that is discrete, variable length, and self- checking. It requires loose printing tolerances. It is used in manufacturing, government agencies, and health care. The character set is A - Z uppercase, 0 - 9, dollar sign ($), period (.), slash (/), percent (%), space ( ), plus (+), and minus (-).
  • Page 124 You use the parameter with the Data Source parameter. A Data Edit parameter that defines the source of the data: wand/scanner, serial port, or both. You use this parameter with the Data Identifier parameter. Characteristic of a bar code symbology in which the intercharacter gap is not part of the code and is allowed to vary dimensionally within wide tolerance limits.
  • Page 125 A wand or laser scanner that scans bar code information into the reader. A communication parameter that causes the reader to delay a set time between characters when sending data to the workstation.
  • Page 126 (linking) of two ISBT 128 bar codes. Pairs of concatenated ISBT 128 bar codes can be decoded from a single scan of a laser scanner or wand. The keycode sent by the keyboard to the workstation representing the pressed key. The reader has a table of ASCII characters that correspond to the keys on the keyboard.
  • Page 127 A bar code symbology that is fixed length, continuous, and not self- checking. It is used extensively in libraries. The character set is 0 - 9 plus six additional symbols.
  • Page 128 A parameter that allows you to decide between pulling the trigger every time you want to scan a label or pulling the trigger to scan many labels. A parameter that lets you set the amount of time a scanner remains on after the trigger is pulled.
  • Page 129 Characteristic of a bar code symbology that, without the use of a check digit, allows the bar code to be decoded without an error. The search for malfunctions in the electrical or mechanical systems of a device by its own actions. A communication scheme in which the bits of a byte are transferred one-at-a-time.
  • Page 130 A type of symbology in which the number of characters per symbol is not restricted. It is opposite of fixed length. A laser scanner parameter that takes more than one (low setting) or more than two (high setting) matching scans from the same label to yield a good read.
