2–3 Configuring your Reader
Publication 2755-6.14
The following sections describe the various StrataScan Configuration
options available for the StrataScan Bar Code Readers.
Interface Format
This upper left–hand corner of the Configuration Screen gives you
the ability to specify the proper communications format, along with
all of an interface’s associated options. Specifying options is
accomplished for communicating to your host device. And when
you change between different interfaces, the Configuration screen
changes accordingly. It lets you change all options supported by that
interface and protects all those unsupported ones by means of cursor
skip–over. The StrataScan line of Readers supports RS232/RS422
and wand emulation. Choose an interface that matches your host
system requirements.
Select the RS232/RS422 option, if the reader is intended to be used
with either RS-232
±
12V or RS422 serial output. StrataSet software
uses this interface to configure your reader.
Select Wand Emulation if the reader is used in place of a wand. It
provides Wand Emulation of each bar code scanned. Refer to the
section about Wand Type interface format for specific information
about Wand Emulation options.
The No Communication option is reserved for testing purposes. If
no communication is selected, then the center of the left–hand side of
your Configuration screen is empty.
