2.4 Triggering the Scanner Module The PT-500 can be used with a built-in integrated
laser or CCD scanner module. To use the scanner, just
point the scanner window at a barcode and press the trigger
that activates the scanner. A short beep from the buzzer
and flashing red LED indicator on top of the LCD display
indicates when the scanning is successful.
The PT-500 includes a DSUB-9 pin male connector, located
at the base of the terminal, for serial communication with a
PC. Infra red LEDs and charging contacts for the optional
cradle are located on the bottom right below the DB 9
connector. The pin out assignment is shown as follows:
