Connecting the Scanner in Keyboard Wedge Mode
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data term in al in
non decoded output mode.
Note: The IMAGETEAM 4410 and 471 0 scanners are factory programmed for a
keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard.
The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from
the back of the terminal/computer.

3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to
the scanner and to the
terminal/
computer. The scanner will beep twice.
4. Connect the power
supply (4 to 9V).
5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
6. Verify the scanner
operation by sc ann ing
a bar code. The scanner will beep once.

The scanner is now conne cted and ready to communicate w ith your terminal/PC.
You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can be
transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, see"Terminal Interface" on page 2-4. If the scanner is connected via a
serial port, turn to "Connecting the Scanner to a Serial Port" on page 1-7.

Reading Techniques
The hand-held Imager has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam
that corresponds to the Imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam
should be centered ov er the bar code, but it c an be positioned in any direction for
a good read.
Linear bar code2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the Imager is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther fro m the co de. Symbolog ies wi th smaller ba rs or elem ents (mi l
size) should be read clos er to the unit. Symbologi es with larger bars or el ements
(mil size) should be read fa rther from the unit. (see "Depth of Field Charts (44 10
& 4710)" on page 10-4.) To r ead s ingle or mu ltiple symbo ls (on a pa ge or on an
object), hold the Imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the
trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol.

Terminal Interface
IMAGETEAM 4410 and IMAGETEAM 4710 scanners are factory programmed
for a keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is
your interface and yo u do no t need to mo dify the sett ings, ski p to "Power Sav ing
Mode" on page 2-16 to begin programming the scanner.
If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to the "Supported Terminals
Chart" on page 2-5 and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the
Terminal ID bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) on the inside
back cover of this manual to program the scanner for your terminal ID> Scan
Save to save your selection.
For example, an IBM PS/2 terminal has a Terminal ID of 002. You would scan
the Terminal ID b ar code , then 0, 0, 2 from the inside back cover, then Save. If
you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the
Discard code on the back cover and scan the digits and the Save code again.
Factory Default for Keyboard Wedge units = 003
Factory Default for True RS-232 units = 000
Scan the Program Keyboard Country bar code below, then scan the numeric
bar code(s) from the inside back cover, then the Save bar code to program the
keyboard for your country. As a general rule, the following characters are not
