Load a Battery Pack and a stylus into the Pistol Grip

A user who purchases the PG-200/1D model has a battery pack for pistol grip. Besides, the user also has a stylus that is packed in the package box. To install the battery pack and stylus, refer to the MT-4008W user manual.

Caution: After loading the battery into the pistol grip, remember to charge the battery pack first with a charger or a power adaptor connected between the tablet and an electrical outlet. For the detailed description of battery charging, refer to the section titled “Charging the Battery” as described in the MT-4008W.

Connecting the Pistol Grip onto the Tablet

The pistol grip is provided with a 1D scan engine. Posiflex pistol grip equipped with the 1D scan engine is just a gun grip for users to easily operate the scanner. To install the pistol grip onto the tablet, refer to the MT-4008W user manual.

Operating the 1D Barcode Scanner

This scanner works to scan 1D barcodes. The scanner can work in USB HID or USB Virtual COM mode. By default, the scanner works in USB HID mode.

The engine projects a bright red scan beam that corresponds to the engine’s centered horizontally over the

scanning field of view. The scan beam should be

bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of the bar code. It will not read if the scan beam is in any other direction.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional informatio n is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-

defined data into the message string. Prefix and Suffix characters are data

characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. Yo u can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies.

The following illustration shows the break-down of a message string:

Points to Keep In Mind

 It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections

in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix is dependent on interface.

 A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one

symbology or all symbologies.

 You can add any prefix or suffix through ASCII Conversion.  You can string together several entries for several

symbologies at one

time.

 Enter p refixes and suffixes in the order in which you want

them to appear

 W hen setting up for specif ic symbologies (as op posed to all

on the output.

symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

 The m aximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 32

characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix: Step 1: Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol. Step 2: Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology

Chart

(included in the Symbology Charts) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3: Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside

the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4: Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart

for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5: Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 6: Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character. Step 7: To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1. To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice

– once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without

saving. Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:

Step 1: Scan Add Suffix. Step 2: Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology

Chart (included in the Symbology Charts) for U.P.C.

Step 3: Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart. Step 4: Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart

for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5: Scan 0, D fr om the Programming Chart. Step 6: Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving. To Clear One or All Prefixes or S uffixes

You can clear a single pref ix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a

symbology. If you have been entering

prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a sym bology are deleted.

Step 1: Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol. Step 2: Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology

Chart (included in the Symbology Charts) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Step 3: Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart

or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
