Getting Started Connecting the Scanner The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation. Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the scanner to the terminal, PC or other host device. Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions below, proceed to section of this manual and scan the bar code to select the correct Interface Related Features interface type.
Programming Wand Emulation Connection — Connect the scanner to the appropriated port on the ter- minal/PC using the correct cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 2 IBM Connection — Connect the scanner to the IBM port on the terminal/PC using the cor- rect IBM cable.
Getting Started LED and Beeper Indicators The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the scanner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on.
Error Codes Error Codes Upon startup, if the scanner flashes its indicator LED or sounds an unexpected series of beep tones (other than normal power-up indications), this means the scanner has not passed its auto- matic Selftest and has entered FRU isolation mode.

Case Conversion Case Conversion This feature can convert scanned bar code data to either all lower case (a through z) or all upper case (A through Z) characters. Case conversion affects ONLY scanned bar code data, and does not affect Label ID, Prefix, Suffix, or other appended data.
Data Editing Character Conversion Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the charac- ter to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
