Wand Emulation Interface 8-3
Introduction
This chapter covers Wand Emulation host information for setting up the scanner. This mode is used whenever Wand Emulation
communication is needed. The scanner will attach either to an external wand decoder or to a decoder integrated in a portable terminal
or Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal.
In this mode the scanner emulates the signal of a digital wand to make it “readable” by a wand decoder.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks ( * ).
Connecting Using Wand Emulation
To perform Wand Emulation, connect the scanner to a portable data terminal, or a controller which collects the wand data and
interprets it for the host.
