Configuring the Imager

You need to program the imager for your interface before you

can transmit bar code data to your computer. You can configure

the imager for:

• a keyboard wedge interface. See the next section, “Keyboard

Wedge Interface.”

• a serial port (RS-232) interface. RS-232 is the default

configuration; however, you still need to program the imager

for the RS-232 interface. See “Serial/RS-232 Interface” on

page 8.

Note: The RS-232 interface is only compatible

with applications that can retrieve data from the

computer’s COM port.

Keyboard Wedge Interface

1 Connect the power supply (4 to 9V) to the keyboard wedge

interface cable and plug in the power supply.

Or, charge and install the battery pack in the imager.

The imager beeps twice.

corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming

beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be

positioned in any direction for a good read.
