Integrating the Scanner With Your Host Sys-
Product Reference Guide 6-3
• Interface Related Features — are the mandatory settings necessary
to allow communication with your host terminal. Examples of these
settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.
•
Symbology Programming — gives the scanner the capability to
autodiscriminate as few as one, and as many as all available symbol-
ogies. For optimal scanner performance enable only those symbolo-
gies required. Additionally the scanner may be programmed with
the standard options available for the various symbologies, such as
check digit, minimum label length, fixed and variable length bar
codes, etc.
If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional infor-
mation, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales represen-
tative.
CAUTION
It is possible, via programming bar codes, to change the inter-
face type (for example: from RS-232 to IBM Port 17). Great care
should be taken to select the correct interface type, since you
can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by
attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS
make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.
NOTE
Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with
the current interface. For example, baud rate selections are
only valid in the RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an
error tone when scanning programming labels for features
invalid to the current interface group.
