An important feature is the decoder’s integral power supply used to power
the decoder and your scanning devices. This feature allows you to avoid the
inconvenience normally experienced with separate power supplies. In
addition, it will accept a wide range of input power from 100 to 240 VAC
(nominal). Other features include:
• Autodiscrimination of one or more of the following symbologies:
Code 39
Interleaved 2 of 5
UPC and UPC with supplemental digits
EAN and EAN with supplemental digits
Codabar
Code 128
Code 11
• Can be used “right out of the box”.
• Bar code or escape sequence programming.
• Nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) used for storing configuration
parameters.
• Full duplex RS-232-C or RS-422 port for communication with a host
computer. The decoder transmits decoded data to the host. The host
computer programs the decoder by sending it escape sequences.
• A separate RS-232-C port for a display terminal. This port can be used
to display the decoder’s configuration, or decoded bar code data sent by
the decoder to the host. In addition, it is used to manually enter and
transmit bar code data to the host computer when the bar code symbol
cannot be read.
• LED indicators to monitor system status and assist in programming.
• Built-in speaker with variable volume and tone.
• External speaker jack.
• Automatic laser scanner shutoff.
• Detachable, IEC 320 power cable.
• Compatibility with a variety of scanning devices including hand-held
laser scanners, wands and unattended scanners.
• High electrical noise immunity for the industrial environment.
• Heavy gauge, NEMA 1 steel enclosure.
• Designed to meet UL and CSA standards.
• Label on bottom provides a quick reference guide to connector pinouts.
