Wand EmulationWand Emulation Connection

The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to change the terminal ID only, without changing any other scanner settings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your scanner to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID. Please refer to Wand Emulation Plug & Play on page 1-22for further information.

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39.

The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128.

The Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.
