  • Page 4: Chapter 1 Overview

    Chapter 1 Overview First of all, thank you for choosing Unitech’s products. This decoder build-in scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge, RS232 terminal wedge, wand emulation, and the latest USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable with a device code will work for a specific interface.

  • Page 5: Chapter 2 Keyboard Interface

    Chapter 2 Keyboard Interface As a keyboard Interface, the scanner is actually installed between PC (or terminal) and keyboard. See Figure 1 for reference. The scanner sends data to the host device by emulating the keyboard signals input and acts like an extension of the keyboard. Installation This scanner can be installed easily by following the installation guide illustrated below.

    7) If nothing happens at step 6, check all cable connections first and make sure your PC or terminal has been powered. Contact technical support if problem remains after these checking. 8) Unless the scanner has been prior installed for the PC/terminal, user may have to select a proper device number from Group 1 of Appendix D.

  • Page 7: Installed As An Usb Interface

    Installed as an USB Interface You can install the scanner with the USB interface cable to work with either PC or iMac USB port. See Figure 1.1 for reference. Your operating system may require the original setup CD to install the driver with initial setup.
  • Page 8 your scanning speed, a longer interblock delay may ensure the data integrity. Function Code The scanner can emulate function and other special keys on the keyboard by scanning some pre-defined labels. Appendix B includes those labels for special keys on PC, Macintosh, and IBM terminals. As an option, you may also print these labels by printing their corresponding Code 39 characters (in brackets) to work with scanner.

  • Page 16: Chapter 6 Setup

    Chapter 6 Setup The scanner interface can be configured to fit the user's specific application. All configuration parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory, which is retained even if power is lost. Bar Code Menu Setup The setup menu in Appendix D contains eight groups: * Group 1: Device selection.

You use this batch setup labels to duplicate setting to the other scanners. Dump Settings If you have settings as the following: * Device Type is “Keybaordless Wedge”.
  • Page 21 • The sequence of the strings that the scanner dumped is important. You have to print the bar code labels and scan them in the same sequence as the one that the scanner dumped. • When you scan the batch setup labels to configure a scanner, the previous settings on that scanner are reset to default and then replaced by the settings contained in the batch labels.
