Scanner models 5700–X1 and 5700/X–X2 support the dual interface option allowing you to connect to two different terminals by switching interface cables. This option supports interfaces common to portable data terminals.

Dual Interface Programming Instructions

To program the scanner for secondary interface, follow the steps below. (Dual

Interface single scan programming codes are shown on the following pages.)

While the scanner is connected to the primary terminal interface, scan one of the single bar codes on 1–15 to enable the secondary interface.

Disconnect the primary interface cable from the scanner and attach the secondary interface cable.

Attach the secondary interface cable to the secondary terminal and power up the terminal.

Program the desired programmable selections for the secondary interface.

Dual Interface Programming Notes:

To change the secondary interface from one selection to another (e.g., from HHLC to RS-232), the scanner must be reconnected to the primary interface, and then reprogrammed for the new secondary interface. Connect the scanner to the primary interface cable. Follow steps 1–4 above.

Scanning “Plug and Play” bar codes (single scan terminal selection bar codes), or changing the terminal type does not affect Dual Interface settings.

RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces.

The Switch Power feature is a low power sleep mode which is automatically enabled when the secondary interface cable is attached and the unit is programmed for a second interface. The option is enabled when the unit is shipped.

Note: Dual Interface selection is not available if the scanner is programmed for an HP terminal with a Terminal I.D. of 20 or 79, or for a WYSE terminal with a Terminal I.D. of 13–18.
