2.5 INITIALIZING

When using LIBRA for the first time, you need to initialize the communication
parameters first. Follow the steps below to initialize:

1. Ensure that the desired interface cable is connected to LIBRA and your host

system.

2. Power up LIBRA.
3. Initialize the communication parameters by scanning the programming

barcode 1.1 and 1.3 on the Configuration Guide.

NOTE

The procedure is required only once. However, when changing
the cable from one type to another, you need to perform the
procedure again.



KBW mode
In KBW (Keyboard Wedge) mode, the scanner defaults to the International
Keyboard layout (ALT-method) for communication.

NOTE

To change the settings to national keyboards in KBW mode,
refer to section 3.4 on the Configuration Guide.

RS232 mode
In RS232 mode, the default communication parameters are 9600,N,8,2. Using
the Scantech-ID Configuration Guide, you may select one of the various
presets, or set each parameter by hand.

USB mode
In USB mode, the scanner defaults to Keyboard Emulation Mode. LIBRA
transmits the data in International Keyboard layout (ALT-method) for
communication.

NOTE

The LIBRA-USB must be directly connected to the host-USB
port and not through an (un-powered) USB hub.
