Description
The decoder’s capabilities are briefly described. Key features are shown and
explained.
The Catalog No. 2755-DH1, Multi-Purpose Bar Code Workstation is a
dedicated bar code decoder capable of supporting one of many Allen-Bradley
scanning devices.
90-105-3
You can use any Allen-Bradley attended scanning device with the decoder.
Attended devices include hand-held laser scanners (guns), wands, and slot
scanners. In addition, you can use a Low-Speed Material Handling Scan
Head (Catalog No. 2755-L2) for unattended scanning.
The decoder is ready to use right out of the box. The default configuration
will support many applications. You can, however, alter its operation by
sending it escape sequences from the host, or by scanning the configuration
bar code symbols supplied in this User’s Manual.
The decoder’s Host Computer port is used to transmit decoded bar code data
and configuration information to the host computer. The host computer uses
this port for programming, or reconfiguring, the decoder.
A Terminal Display port is also supplied to allow:
• Viewing of decoded information
• Viewing of the decoder’s configuration
• The entry of supplemental information
• The entry of bar code data to the host in case a symbol cannot be read by
your system
