The scanner is capable of scanning, decoding, and
transmitting bar code data to devices equipped with
RS-232 serial communication ports, including
personal computers and terminals.
You configure the scanner for serial communications
by modifying the built-in setup parameters of the
scanner. Parameters are selected based on the
requirements of the host device and the types of bar
codes used in your application.
The scanner is easily configured by scanning the
appropriate bar code labels in Chapters 4 through 8 of
this manual. When a configuration label is scanned,
the scanner sends a 1 or 2 line acknowledgement
message to your terminal display.
Important: It is your responsibility to provide the
application program on the host device that will
receive and store the data.
