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.

Default =Disable.

Secondary RS-232 Connection

All communication parameters between the imager 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 RS-232 Baud Rate, page 2-10.

Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation

Note: See "Imager Models" on page 6-1to determine which interfaces apply to your imager.

In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo- gies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.
