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 interface 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 inter-
face. 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.
