CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED

Introduction

The DS7708 2D Vertical Slot Scanner provides intuitive, hands-free scanning. The scanner reads all retail

symbologies and has multi-interface capability to interface to all popular POS devices. The scanner can be

mounted to a table top or vertical surface such as a wall using optional mounting accessories.

Unpacking the Scanner

Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. The following items are included in the

package:

•

The DS7708 Vertical 2D Slot Scanner supports the following interfaces:

Note The DS7708 automatically adapts to the host to which it is connected.

•

USB connection to a host. The scanner defaults to the HID keyboar d interface type. To select other USB interface types, scan programming bar code menus or use the Windows-based programming tool 123Scan². International keyboards are supporte d. See

Appendix B, COUNTRY CODES to program the

keyboard to interface with a USB host.

•

TTL-level RS-232 connection to a host. The scanner defaults to the standard RS-232 interface type. Modify communication between the scanner and the host either by scanning bar code menus or using the Windows-based programming tool 123Scan².

•

Connection to IBM 468X/469X hosts. User selection is required to configure this interface. Modify communication between the scanner and the IBM terminal either by scanning bar code menus or using the Windows-based programming tool 123Scan².

•

Keyboard Wedge connection to a hos t. The scanner defaults to the host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. International keyboards are supported. See

IBM A T Notebook

interface type. The

Appendix B,

COUNTRY CODES to program the keyboard to interface with a Keyboard Wedge host.

•

SSI communications link between the scanner and a serial host. It provides the means for the host to control the scanner .

Setting Up the Scanner

Power Options

The DS7708 does not have an on/off switch. It is powered via the host through the host cable and is ready to scan when connected to a host.

•

When an auxiliary scanner is not connected: If an auxiliary scanner is not connected, the DS7708 requires 5VDC from the host. If the host cannot provide 5VDC, or cannot provide sufficient power (for example, RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge hosts) then an external 5VDC power supply is required.

•

When an auxiliary scanner is connected: If an auxiliary scanner is connected, the DS7708 requires 12VDC from the host. If t he host ca nnot pr ovide 12VDC, or cannot p rovide suf ficient power (fo r example, USB Series A type connector, or RS-232) then a cable with a 12VDC power port and external 12VDC power supply is required.

When the scanner receives power, the green LED lights and three short high beeps sound, indicating that the scanner is operational.

Ports

Host Port. A 10-pin RS-45 type connector is provided to connect various ho st int er fa ce cables . Auxiliary (Hand-held) Scanner Port. A Series A type USB connector is provided to connect an auxiliary

s c a n n e r, s u c h a s t h e D S 4 3 0 8 . The auxiliary scanner’s host interface is automatically set to match the DS7708 host interface.

Note For detailed connection information, see the applicable host interface chapter.

Connecting the Host and/or Auxiliary Scanner Cable

Different hosts require different cables. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. Connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same. See each individual host interface chapter for interface specific connections.

The back cover must be removed prior to connecting cables (see Removing and Re placing the Back Co ver on

page 1-5).

Replacing the Back Cover

The back cover has three channels to route the outgoing cables so that they are organized and do not hinder the scanner’s placement. Place the back cover on the back of the scanner and ensure the cables are positioned appropriately to be routed through one or more of the cable routing channels. Route the cables through the nearest channel.

Press the cover and slide upwards until it snaps into place.
