Interfaces

The CR0078-S cradle supports all of the following interfaces. The CR0078-P cradle supports all of the
interfaces listed below with the exception of Wand Emulation, Scanner Emulation, and Synapse:

•

USB connection to a host. The cradle auto detects 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
German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Brazilian Portuguese, and
Japanese.

•

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

•

Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. This interface
supports the following international keyboards (for Windows

French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese.

•

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

environment): North America, German,

•

Wand Emulation connection to a host. The cradle (CR0078-S on ly; CR0078-P does not support Wand
Emulation) is connected to a portable data terminal, a controller, or host which collects the data as wand
data and decodes it.

•

Scanner Emulation connection to a host. The cradle (CR0078-S only; CR0078-P does not support
Scanner Emulation) is connected to a portable data terminal, a controller which collects the data and
interprets it for the host.

•

Synapse capability which allows connection to a wide variety of host systems using a Synapse and
Synapse adapter cable (CR0078-S only; CR00 78-P does no t support Synap se). Th e cradle auto detect s
the host.

•

Configuration via 123Scan2.

NOTE Only the Symbol Native API (SNAPI) interface supports image capture. See USB Device Type on page 7-5

to enable this host.

NOTE For a list of supported scanner functionality by communication protocol, see Appendix G, Communication

Protocol Functionality.

Unpacking the Digital Scanner and Cradle

Remove the digital scanner and cradle from their respective packing and inspect for damage. If the digital
scanner or cradle was damaged in transit, contact Support. See page xx for contact information. KEEP THE
PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be
returned for servicing.
