Connecting the Imager When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge)

An imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port or connected to a portable data terminal. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:

1.Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2.Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.

3.Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the terminal/ computer.

4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.

Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted to a USB connection. You must scan the IBM PC AT and Compatibles with CR suffix bar code on page 1-6to enable keyboard wedge ability.

Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual. The imager beeps once.
