INTRODUCTION

Description

The Omni™ slot reader can scan and decode most popular bar codes, and/or read 1, 2, or 3 tracks of magnetic stripe information, depending on the model. In addition, it has full data editing capabilities.

The Omni can be connected to a single-ended serial device, such as a cash register, PC, or terminal, through an RS-232 serial port or a USB port, de- pending on the reader interface.

This unit is fully programmable via keystroke commands. The data can be formatted with preamble/postamble and terminator characters to match the format expected by the host. The programing codes are the same for both RS- 232 and USB/RS-232 units. Please see Appendix E for details.

Power is obtained from a separate power supply module when the unit is con- ﬁgured as an RS-232 device. Power, when the reader is connected via a USB port, is obtained from the host.
