Connecting the Imager in Keyboard Wedge Mode
You can connect an imager between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,”
plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in non-decoded
output mode.
The 147X imagers are factory defaulted to a serial RS-232 interface. For help
Note:
connecting the imager to a serial port, see “Connecting the Imager to a Serial Port” later
in this chapter.
To connect for a keyboard wedge interface
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.

4. Connect the power supply (4 to 9V). The imager beeps twice.
5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
6. Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code. The imager beeps once.

The imager is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/PC. You
must program the imager for your interface before bar code data can be transmitted to
your terminal/PC. If you are using the imager as a keyboard wedge, see “Terminal
Interface” in Chapter 3. If the imager is connected via a serial port, see “Connecting the
Imager to a Serial Port” in the next section.
Connecting the Imager to a Serial Port
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the interface cable to the imager.
3. Connect the interface cable to the power supply (4 to 9V) and plug in the power
supply. The imager beeps twice.
4. Connect the interface cable to the terminal/computer.
1-7
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual
Connecting the Imager to a Serial Port
5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
6. Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from Appendix B, “Sample and
Programming Bar Codes.” The imager beeps once.
The imager is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/PC. To
program the communication parameters for a serial interface, see “Communication
Settings” in Chapter 3.

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 over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear Bar Code
Introduction and Installation
1
2D Matrix Bar code
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is
farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be
read closer to the imager. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be
read farther from the imager (see “Depth of Field Charts” in Appendix A). To read
single or multiple bar codes (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an
appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the
bar code.
