Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a
keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the
back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropriate
interface cable to the scan-
ner and to the terminal/com-
puter.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner will beep twice.
5. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the back cover of
this manual. The scanner will beep once.
The scanner is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/
PC. You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can
be transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, turn to page 2-1. If the scanner is connected via a serial port, turn to
page 2-9. If this is a wand emulation application, turn to page 2-16, and for a
non decoded output connection, turn to page 6-2.
