Interfaces
The DS2278 digital scanner cradle supports:
• USB connection to a host. The digital scanner automatically detects the USB host interface type and uses
the default setting (USB Keyboard HID). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, select another
USB interface type by scanning programming bar code menus. See Appendix B, Country Codes for the
interface supported international keyboards (for Windows® environment).
• Standard RS-232 connection to a host. The digital scanner automatically detects the RS-232 host interface
type and uses the default setting (Standard RS-232). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements,
select another RS-232 interface type by scanning programming bar code menus.
• Connection to IBM 468X/469X hosts. The digital scanner automatically detects the IBM host interface type
but does not select a default setting. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner
with the IBM terminal.
• Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. The digital scanner
automatically detects the Keyboard Wedge host interface type and uses the default setting (IBM AT
Notebook). If the default (*) does not meet your requirements, scan IBM PC/AT & IBM PC Compatibles on
page 11-4. See Appendix B, Country Codes for the interface supported international keyboards (for
Windows® environment).
• Configuration via 123Scan.
