Interfaces

The DS9208 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.

•

RS-485 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, French Canadian,

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

NOTE Only the Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging interface supports image capture. See USB Device

Type on page 6-4 to enable this host.

Unpacking

Remove the digital scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. See page xviii for contact informa tion. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container; use this to return the equipment for servicing.

connections).

Installing the Cable

NOTE Different host s require dif fere nt cable s. The c onnec tors illust rate d in each host cha pter are ex amples only.

Connectors vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner are the same.

Removing the Interface Cable

1. Tilt the scanner fully forward.

2. Using the tip of a small screwdriver, depress the cable’s modular connector clip and carefully slide out the

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 Digital Scanner Options, Chapter 5, Imaging

Preferences, and Ch apte r 10, Symbo lo gie s for information about programming the digital scanner using bar code

menus. See Chapter 11, 123Scan2 for information on using this configuration program. Also see each host-specific chapter to set up connection to a specific host type.

Mounting the Digital Scanner

Wall Mount Bracket

An optional wall mount bracket is available for mounting the scanner to a wall or other vertical surface. To mount the DS9208:

1. Place the bracket in its desired location on the wall, and insert two #8 screws through each screw hole in the

bracket.

NOTE Select a screw type and length appropriate for the wall material.

Figure 1-3

2. Tighten the screws to secure the bracket to the wall.

Installing the Wall Mount Bracket

Locking Mount Bracket

An optional locking mount bracket is available for "locking" the scanner into position on a horizontal (or vertical) surface. This option is recommended for applications where it is desirable to affix the scanner to a counter or desktop. To mount the DS9208:

1. Place the bracket in its desired location on the counter or desktop. Make sure that the indicator on the bracket

is consistent with the direction that the scanner will face. Insert four #8 screws through each screw hole in the bracket.

ADF Programming

High/low beeps Enter another digit. Add leading zeros to the front if necessary. Low/low beeps Enter another alphabetic character or scan the End of Message bar code. High/high beeps ADF criteria or action is expected. Enter another criterion or action, or scan the

Save Rule bar code. High/low/high/low beeps Rule saved. Rule entry mode exited. High/low/low beeps All criteria or actions cleared for current rule, continue entering rule. Low beep Delete last saved rule. The current rule is left intact. Low/high/high beeps All rules are deleted. Low/high/low/high beeps Out of rule memory. Erase some existing rules, then try to save rule again. Low/high/low beeps Cancel rule entry. Rule entry mode exited because of an error or the u ser asked to
