2.11 Controlling the DX with a Keyboard or Barcode
Reader (/USB1 Option)
This section explains how to connect and use a USB keyboard or barcode reader.
Barcode readers can be used if the DX release number is 3 or later.
Connecting and Disconnecting a Keyboard or Barcode Reader
• Connection
1.
Connect the keyboard or barcode reader to a DX USB port.
POWER
USB
CF CARD
USB port
A display appears asking whether you have connected a keyboard or a barcode
reader.
2.
Select the type of device that you have connected, and then DISP/ENTER.
You can now use the device that you connected.
* If you change the display without selecting a device, the device type is automatically set to
keyboard.
*This setting is unrelated to the connection of USB flash memory.
• Removal
Remove the keyboard or barcode reader cable from the DX USB port.
Note
• You can connect and remove keyboards and barcode readers at any time, regardless of the
display and whether the DX is on or off.
• You can only connect one human interface device (HID) to the DX. You cannot use a
keyboard and a barcode reader at the same time.
• Use a keyboard appropriate for the language setting on the DX.
• The statuses of the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys are retained even if the USB keyboard is
removed (release number 2 and later). However, if a bar code reader is connected, the key
statuses will be initialized to off.
• The device that is currently connected is indicated in the system information display (see
section 2.5 for details).
