RS-232 Configuration
The scanner beeps and the indicator flashes, but no data seems to be transmitted.
Make sure the scanner is set up as an RS-232 device. Even if the scanner has the correct
cable installed, it must still be properly configured. Note that the default configuration for
the scanner is Keyboard Wedge. RS-232 configuration parameters are configured on
Pages 2-4 and 2-5.
Make sure the Baud Rate, Word Length and Parity of the scanner match the host device
being communicated with.
Make sure that the “handshake” requirements of the scanner and the host device agree.
Check the connection to the host device. The Scanner is configured as DCE (Data Com-
munications Equipment). It can connect to a device configured as DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) with a straight cable. Make sure a null-modem cable is not being used.
Use a breakout box or other tester to determine if data is being transmitted from the scan-
ner and not being received properly. This device will also indicate the status of the hand-
shake lines.
USB Configuration.
The scanner beeps and the indicator flashes, but no data appears on the screen.
Make sure that the scanner is configured as a keyboard wedge. Since this is the default
interface, scan the SET code on the top of any even page of Section 2. The USB interface is
actually a PS/2 to USB converter, so the scanner itself is configured for Keyboard Wedge. If
the scanner has somehow been configured for RS-232, it will not output data.
The CCD8000 emulates a USB keyboard. To an operating system it is considered a Human
Interface Device. If your operating system is Windows, the scanner will appear as a Human
Interface Device in Windows Device Manager. There should be similar entries for operating
systems such as Mac OS and Linux. If the scanner does not appear in the listing, unplug the
scanner and reboot the system. Plug in the scanner with the system running. You should re-
ceive an indication from the operating system that it is installing a Human Interface Device.
