Programming General Settings
To clone (transfer) data directly from one BCD996T scanner to another BCD996T
scanner, you must first connect the scanners to each other using the included
connection cables and a DB9 null modem adapter and for the rear port, a DB9
gender changer (neither included), available at most computer stores. Then you
must set one scanner as the source and the other as the target.
1. Select the Front Port for the Master. Select the Rear Port for the Slave or vice
versa.
2. Plug the 9-pin serial connector into the unit designated as the Rear Port.
3. Plug the smaller connector into the front port of the unit designated as Front
Port.
4. When you are ready to clone the scanner, press [SCAN/SEARCH] on the
slave scanner first, then [SCAN/SEARCH] on the master scanner. The
master scanner checks the connection between the two scanners, then
transfers its data to the slave scanner.
5. When the transfer is complete, Complete appears on both scanners. If the
transfer did not work, Error appears on the master scanner. Readjust the
baud rate to a lower setting and try again.
Connected as
shown, and with
both ports
correctly selected,
no other hardware
is needed.
