Connecting the Scanner in Keyboard Wedge Mode
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
non decoded output mode.
Note: The IMAGETEAM 4410 and 4710 scanners are factory programmed for a
keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard.
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 appropri-
ate interface cable to
the scanner and to the
terminal/
computer. The scan-
ner will beep twice.
4. Connect the power
supply (4 to 9V).
5. Turn the terminal/com-
puter power back on.
6. Verify the scanner
operation by scanning
a bar code. The scan-
ner will beep once.
The scanner is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/PC.
You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can be
transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, see"Terminal Interface"on page 2-4. If the scanner is connected via a
serial port, turn to "Connecting the Scanner to a Serial Port"on page 1-7.
