    LongReach scanner The LongReach scanner ASP's LongReach scanner is a compact high-performance hand-held CCD barcode scanner suitable for reading barcodes from 5cm to 20cm away. The LongReach scanner has a yellow push button switch positioned right where your index finger comfortably sits when the scanner is held in your hand.
  • Page 6: Barcode Symbologies

    Scanning nicely printed barcode labels is simple, and most decoders can easily read well-printed labels. But because there are so many poorly printed barcode labels in the real world, the LongReach scanner has been designed to handle printing tolerances of up to ± 200% to help it to read virtually any barcode label, even if it’s badly printed.

    Turn the computer on, and the LongReach scanner will emit a high/low beep to indicate that it has passed its power-on diagnostic tests.
  • Page 8: Apple Macintosh

    In this way, all of your existing programs automatically accept barcode input. To connect the LongReach scanner, unplug the Mac from mains power, then unplug the mouse from the keyboard. Plug the adaptor’s male connector (the one with the pins) into the socket that the mouse used to plug into, then plug the mouse into the other socket on the adaptor cable, effectively interposing the adaptor between the two.

    The Serial Wedge is designed to suit video terminals fitted with a female D25 connector (this is the usual case). If your video terminal instead uses a D25 male connector, you should contact ASP for advice. Switch off the terminal, then unplug the RS-232 cable from the host computer from the back of the video terminal, and plug it into the serial wedge cable.
