Datalogic Scanning 9500, 9504 manual Integrating the Scanner With Your Host Sys

CAUTION

NOTE

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host Sys-

•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.

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.

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.

•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.
