Data Capture
The VC8300 supports scanners that use the Human Interface Device (HID) and Simple Serial
Interface (SSI) protocols. In HID mode, the scanner sends data to the VC8300 like entering characters
on a keyboard. In SSI mode, the scanner sends data to the VC8300 in packets which can be ASCII
data or as part of a larger message.
The VC8300 supports data capture using:
• Tethered scanner connected to COM1 or COM2 port:
• DS3508-ER, HD, SR
• DS3608-SR, ER, HP, HD
• LI3608-SR
• LS3408-ER, FZ
• Other tethered serial scanners.
• Tethered scanner connected to a USB host port:
• DS3508-ER, HD, SR (HID mode only)
• DS3608-SR, ER, HP, HD (HID and SSI modes)
• LI3608-SR (HID mode only)
• LS3408-ER, FZ (HID mode only)
• Other USB scanners (HID mode only).
• Wireless scanner connected via Bluetooth:
• DS3678-SR, ER, HP, HD (HID and SSI modes)
• LI3678-SR (HID mode only)
• LS3578-ER, SR, HD, FZ (HID mode only)
• DS3578-SR, ER, HD (HID mode only)
• RS507/RS507x (HID and SSI modes)
