Hand held barcode scanner
The hand held barcode scanner provides the operator with
a quick way to enter all sorts of data that normally would be en-
tered over a keyboard. The scanner is physically connected to the
keyboard input over a keyboard wedge. The scanner accepts all
types of barcodes but can be configured to accept only certain
types or emulate additional keystrokes. Please refer to the hand
held barcode scanner’s manual for more information.

Barcode printer
The barcode printer produces the traceability barcode.
SADE machine is equipped in Zebra printer model
GK420t or GX420t. The printer is connected with the
computer over an USB port. Sade uses an own driver to
communicate with the printer because we found com-
munication to be faster with our own driver then with
Windows OS drivers. As consequence, own made driv-
ers for each type of printer is required.

Network adapter
Using Microsoft Windows as operating system for the JUKI SADE makes it easy to im-
plement JUKI SADE production data into a corporate network environment.
By default the JUKI SADE computer is equipped with
a standard networking and wireless adapter. Addi-
tionally we supply a USB to Ethernet Adapter.
The standard computer has 4 USB communication
ports. Two are occupied by PLC and barcode printer.
Additional ports are required to connect bar code
scanners, optional equipment like chip card readers
and future options. By default 6 extra USB ports and 4
serial to Ethernet connections are installed. The num-
ber of ports can be extended with both RS232 and
USB ports.
