Adding a Hand Scanner
If your ScanVue5
®
has software version 4.12 or later, a hand scanner on a cable may be
installed in addition to the fixed scanner. The hand scanner is useful for departments
that sell large items that cannot easily be read by the fixed scanner. ScanVue5
®
works
with either scanner transparently—that is, either the fixed scanner or the hand scanner
can be used to read an item barcode without having to select which one is being used.
Two manufacturers hand scanners are supported. The Symbol Cobra 1902T scanner
requires an optional ScanVue5
®
power supply Y cable (IEE P/N 37915–XX, where XX
specifies the cable length) that provides the additional RS232 port, serial port 2, for the
hand scanner to connect to the ScanVue5
®
unit. The Cobra scanner comes with its own
wall mount power supply to power the scanner and is required in addition to the power
supply that powers the ScanVue5
®
unit. The RS232 port is factory pre-set to run the
hand scanner. The NCR model 7837 construction and cabling is almost identical to the
Cobra and supported in the same way. The following paragraphs describe setting up
the Cobra scanner in detail. A similar setup is required for the NCR scanner.
Wiring and Configuring the Hand Scanner
Once the Cobra scanner is powered up, it must be configured to communicate with
ScanVue5
®
. Section 4 of the Cobra manual contains the barcodes required to perform
the setup needed. A manual can be obtained from the Symbol website
www.symbol.com if you don’t have one. Scan the following barcodes in the order
shown in Table 1.
