Enabling the Secondary Interface

The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.

You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the secondary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable bar code below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable bar code.

Secondary RS-232 Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.

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. If you want to change the RS-232 settings, refer to the Connecting the Scanner with RS-232 Serial Port section on pages 2-8to 2-11.

Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation

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 symbol- ogies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits U.P.C., EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high.

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.
