Connecting the Imager with Keyboard Wedge

Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2to determine which interfaces apply to your imager.

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 in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. 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. The imager beeps.

5.Program the imager for a keyboard wedge interface using the Plug and Play bar codes beginning on page 1-8.

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

Your imager is factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and you do not need to modify the settings, skip to Chapter 3 - Output.
