CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED

Introduction

The DS4308 and DS4308P combine superior 1D and 2D omnidirectional bar code scanning and transfer with a light-weight, hands-free/hand-held design. The digital scanner’s gooseneck Intellistand seamlessly accommodates both countertop and hand-held use. Whether in hands-free (presentation) or hand-held mode, the digital scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time.

Figure 1-1 DS4308 and DS4308P Digital Scanner

1 - 2 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

Interfaces

The DS4308 digital scanner supports:

USB connection to a host. The digital scanner autodetects a USB host and defaults to the HID keyboard interface type. Select other USB interface types by scanning programming bar code menus.This interface supports the following international keyboards (for Windows® environment): North America, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese.

Standard RS-232 connection to a host. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner with the host.

Connection to IBM 468X/469X hosts. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner with the IBM terminal.

Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. Scan bar code menus to set up communication of the digital scanner with the host. This interface supports the following international keyboards (for Windows® environment): North America, German, French International, French Canadian, French Belgian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Brazilian-Portuguese and Japanese.

Configuration via 123Scan2.

NOTE For a list of supported scanner functionality by communication protocol, see Appendix I, Communication Protocol Functionality.

Unpacking

Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, contact support. See page xx for information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container; use this to return the equipment for servicing.

Setting Up the Digital Scanner

Installing the Interface Cable

1.Insert the interface cable modular connector into the interface cable port on the rear of the digital scanner until you hear a click. For the DS4308P, tip the scanner forward in its base to best access the port. Low/medium/high beeps sound, indicating the scanner is operational.

Cable interface port

Interface cable modular connector clip

To host

Figure 1-2 Installing the Cable - DS4308 and DS4308P

IMPORTANT Insert the cable into the cable interface port until a click sounds.

When connecting the DS4308 using a USB cable, a shielded connector cable is required (e.g., p/n CBA-U21-S07ZAR). If upgrading an LS2208 or LS4208 to a DS4308, use the shielded connector cable.

2.Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is secure.

3.Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (see the specific host chapter for information on host connections).

1 - 4 DS4308/DS4308P Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide

Removing the Interface Cable

1.Press the cable’s modular connector clip through the access slot in the digital scanner’s base. For the DS4308P, tip the scanner forward in its base to best access the slot.

Figure 1-3 Removing the Cable - DS4308 and DS4308P

2.Carefully slide out the cable.

3.Follow the steps for Installing the Interface Cable to connect a new cable.

Connecting Power (if required)

If the host does not provide power to the digital scanner, connect an external power supply.

1.Plug the power supply into the power jack on the interface cable.

2.Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC outlet.

Configuring the Digital Scanner

To configure the digital scanner use the bar codes included in this manual, or use the 123Scan2 configuration program. See Chapter 4, User Preferences & Miscellaneous Options, and Chapter 11, Symbologies for information about programming the digital scanner using bar code menus. See Chapter 15, 123Scan and Software Tools for information on using this configuration program. Also see each host-specific chapter to set up connection to a specific host type.
