Port

COM Port Designation for Applications

 

 

 

Note: The serial/power connector and the input device connector lead to the

 

same serial port, COM1. Do not connect more than one serial device to the

 

243X.

 

RF (NET)

Use for RF communications on the 2435. The Trakker Antares PSK functions

 

use NET to designate the RF network port.

 

Using the Terminal’s Scanner

Warning

Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

Avertissement

Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d’un rayon laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela peut endommager votre vue.

You can use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. When you press the Scan button or one of the side scan buttons, the scanner emits a beam of laser light that is visible on the bar code label as you scan it. The terminal decodes the bar code and enters the data or command you scanned.

Note: The Scan button on the keypad and the side scan buttons on the terminal do not activate the tethered input device that may be connected to the terminal.

When you unpack the 243X, these three bar code symbologies are enabled:

•Code 39

•Code 128

•UPC/EAN

To scan other bar code symbologies, you must enable them on the 243X. For help, find the symbology in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.

To scan a bar code label with the scanner

1.Press Fto turn on the terminal.

2.Hold the terminal at a slight angle a few inches from the bar code label. The scanner must be pointing toward the label.
