CHAPTER 5 IBM INTERFACE Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner to interface with an IBM 468X/469X host computer. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).
5-2 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host This connection is made directly from the scanner to the host interface. Figure 5-1 IBM Direct Connection NOTE Figure 5-1 shows an auto-host detect cable. Your cable may vary. To connect the IBM 46XX interface: 1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the port on the bottom of the scanner, as described in Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3. 2.
IBM INTERFACE 5-3 IBM Parameter Defaults Table 5-1 lists the defaults for IBM host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Parameter Descriptions section beginning on page 5-4. NOTE See Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
5-4 LS2208 Product Reference Guide IBM 468X/469X Host Parameters Port Address This parameter sets the IBM 468X/469X port used. User selection is required to configure this interface The auto-host detect cable feature automatically detects the host interface type, but there is no default setting. Scan one of the bar codes below to select the appropriate port. NOTE Scanning one of these bar codes enables the RS-485 interface on the scanner.
IBM INTERFACE 5-5 Convert Unknown to Code 39 Scan a bar code below to enable or disable the conversion of unknown bar code type data to Code 39. Enable Convert Unknown to Code 39 *Disable Convert Unknown to Code 39 Optional IBM Parameters If you configure the scanner and find the settings were not saved, or changed, when the system is restarted scan the bar codes that follow to override IBM interface defaults. Scan a bar code below after setting defaults and before configuring the scanner.
5-6 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Ignore Bar Code Configuration The host has the ability to enable/disable code types. When this parameter is enabled, the request is not sent to the attached scanner. All directives are still acknowledged to the IBM RS485 host as if it were processed.
CHAPTER 6 KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard. This interface adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input.
6-2 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Connecting a Keyboard Wedge Interface Figure 6-1 Keyboard Wedge Connection with Y-Cable NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same. To connect the Keyboard Wedge interface Y-cable: 1. Turn off the host and unplug the keyboard connector. 2.
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6-3 Keyboard Wedge Parameter Defaults Table 6-1 lists the defaults for Keyboard Wedge host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) in Keyboard Wedge Host Parameters on page 6-4. NOTE See Chapter B, COUNTRY CODES for Keyboard Wedge Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes). See Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
6-4 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Keyboard Wedge Host Parameters Keyboard Wedge Host Types Select the keyboard wedge host by scanning one of the bar codes below. *IBM PC/AT & IBM PC Compatible IBM AT Notebook Ignore Unknown Characters Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner.
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6-5 Keystroke Delay This is the delay in milliseconds between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when hosts require a slower transmission of data. *No Delay Medium Delay (20 msec) Long Delay (40 msec) Intra-Keystroke Delay When enabled, an additional delay is inserted between each emulated key depression and release. This sets the Keystroke Delay parameter to a minimum of 5 msec as well.
6-6 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation In a Microsoft® operating system environment, this allows emulation of most other country keyboard types not listed in Appendix B, COUNTRY CODES. NOTE If your keyboard type is not listed in the country code list (see Appendix B, COUNTRY CODES), disable Quick Keypad Emulation on page 6-6 and ensure Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation on page 6-6 is enabled.
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6-7 Caps Lock On When enabled, the scanner emulates keystrokes as if the Caps Lock key is always pressed. Note that if both Caps Lock On and Caps Lock Override are enabled, Caps Lock Override takes precedence. Enable Caps Lock On *Disable Caps Lock On Caps Lock Override When enabled, on AT or AT Notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state of the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.
6-8 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Convert Wedge Data When enabled, the scanner converts all bar code data to the selected case. Convert to Upper Case Convert to Lower Case *No Convert Function Key Mapping ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control key sequences (see Table 6-2 on page 6-11). When this parameter is enabled, the keys in bold are sent in place of the standard key mapping. Table entries that do not have a bold entry remain the same whether or not this parameter is enabled.
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6-9 FN1 Substitution When enabled, the scanner replaces FN1 characters in an EAN128 bar code with a keystroke chosen by the user (see FN1 Substitution Values on page 7-24). Enable FN1 Substitution *Disable FN1 Substitution Send Make and Break When enabled, the scan codes for releasing a key are not sent.
6 - 10 LS2208 Product Reference Guide Keyboard Map Refer to the following keyboard map for prefix/suffix keystroke parameters. To program the prefix/suffix values, see the bar codes on page 7-21.
KEYBOARD WEDGE INTERFACE 6 - 11 ASCII Character Set for Keyboard Wedge NOTE Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character ($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and %V as @. Scanning ABC%I outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC >.
