Using Auxiliary Scanners
Using a Zebra Scanner as an Auxiliary Scanner
When the DS7708 powers up it automatically configures the auxiliary scanner host type to be the same as the
DS7708 host type. This feature is supported by Zebra scanners that support RSM commands. Some Zebra
scanners, such as the LS1203 and older LS2208s, do not support this feature. (See Using a Zebra Scanner
That Does Not Support RSM Commands
as an Auxiliary Scanner below
.) All of the other auxiliary scanner
settings and user parameters remain as is.
Using a Zebra Scanner That Does Not Support RSM Commands as an Auxiliary Scanner
When connecting a Zebra scanner that does not support RSM commands (for example, the LS1203) as an
auxiliary scanner you must disable automatic host switching and RSM communication to the auxiliary scanner
by setting the parameter Disable Aux Scanner RSM Communication (page 11-3), prior to connecting the
auxiliary scanner
. Zebra scanners that do not support RSM commands must
be programmed separately and
pre-configured for the appropriate host type before connecting to the DS7708 as an auxiliary scanner.
Using a Non-Zebra Scanner as an Auxiliary Scanner
The DS7708 provides a USB port to connect an auxiliary hand-held scanner. Non-Zebra scanners must be
programmed separately and pre-configured for the appropriate host type before connecting to DS7708.
NOTE Power supply model PWRS-14000-148R is required for USB (Series A) and RS-232.
Power supply model PWRS-14000-148C is required for USB (Series A) and RS-232.
NOTES An auxiliary cordless scanner, such as the LI4278, LS4278, or DS6878, can be attached to the DS7708. If
a presentation cradle is used with any of these scanners, a separate cradle power supply (12VDC) is
required.
If a standard cradle is used with the DS6878, a sep
arate cradle power supply (5VDC) is required.
NOTE Zebra does not guarantee that a non-Zebra scanner will operate as an auxiliary scanner on the DS7708.
