INTRODUCTION
How to Use this Manual
Each programmable feature listed in this manual is
presented with a brief description of how the
feature works, its selectable options, and the
programming bar codes needed to select and set it.
IMPORTANT
Universal Keyboard Wedge interface programming requires the scanner to read Code 39 (C39) symbology bar codes. If your scanner was
previously configured with C39 disabled, you will need to re-enable it
before proceeding. See
F, Enabling Code 39
NOTE
In order to produce this manual at a
reasonable size, many pages contain two bar codes. You will need to
completely cover any bar codes you
do not intend to scan (with your hand
or a piece of paper) to prevent accidental mis-programming.

COMMUNICATION MODES
Communication Modes
The Universal Keyboard Wedge interface offers
several alternate modes to allow flexibility in
communication between the scanner, its host, and
even with other scanners.
These modes are:
• Keyboard Wedge Mode -- is the standard
operational/communication mode.
• Cloning Mode -- allows duplication of
configuration between a source scanner
and a target scanner.
• PC Down/Upload Mode -- permits
downloading of parameter values from a
PC to a scanner. Additionally, it enables a
scanner's configuration information to be
displayed and saved on a PC. Finally, it
allows testing of the scanner's RS-232
transmissions to the PC.
• Editing Mode -- provides a sophisticated
capability to edit input data before its
transmission to the host terminal. See the
following section for more information.
14 Universal Keyboard Wedge Programming Guide
Page 21
COMMUNICATION MODES
Keyboard Wedge Mode
In this mode, the scanner is connected between the
keyboard and the computer/host terminal (thus the
term "wedge"). Scanned bar code data is processed
by the scanner and emulated by the system as if it
had been typed on the keyboard.
Communication 'Y' Cable
A special 'Y' cable is used to connect the scanner
between the keyboard and the computer/host
terminal. If you need a cable, contact your dealer for
information about cables and their availability.
'Y' Cable Installation
