First of all, thank you for choosing Unitech’s products. This decoder build-in scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge, RS232 terminal wedge, wand emulation, and the latest USB interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable with a device code will work for a As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs and IBM terminals. The installation of the wedge scanner is a fairly As a RS232 serial inter

As a keyboard Interface, the scanner is actually installed between PC (or terminal) and keyboard. See Figure 1 for reference. The scanner sends data to the host device by emulating the keyboard signals input and acts like an extension of the keyboard. 2.1 This scanner can be installed easily by following the installation guide illustrated below. Before you start the installation, locate a “Y” type cable in the package. 1) Plug the modular (RJ45) connector of the “Y” cable into the bottom of the

7) If nothing happens at step 6, check all cable connections first and make sure your PC or terminal has been powered. Contact technical support if problem remains after these checking. 8) Unless the scanner has been prior installed for the PC/terminal, user may have to select a proper device number from Group 1 of Appendix D. 9) The Default setting of this scanner is IBM PC/AT and PS/2. If you like to make sure that you have the right selection, you may scan the PC AT[PS/2] 2.2 The scanner has

your scanning speed, a longer interblock delay may ensure the data integrity. The scanner can emulate function and other special keys on the keyboard by scanning some pre-defined labels. Appendix B includes those labels for special keys on PC, Macintosh, and IBM terminals. As an option, you may also print these labels by printing their corresponding Code 39 characters (in brackets) to work with scanner. This parameter tells the scanner the current Caps-Lock status of the keyboard so that the cha

3.1 To use the scanner as a RS232 serial interface, a RS232 interface cable and a power adapter are required. See Chapter 8 for cable pinout and adapter specification. Figure 2 shows an installation diagram for your 1) Make sure the scanner’s cable has the right connector and pinout for the RS232 port of the host device. If the pinout is different from device, swapping pins is necessary to achieve proper communication. 2) If the host device has power output at RS232 interface port, the scanner c

3.2 Device Type You will need to select the device type to “Serial Interface” from Appendix A, Group 1 of Appendix D, or the following label. Baud Rate, Parity and Data Bit: These parameters set the scanner’s communication protocol that must be matched by the host. The default setting for the serial interface is 9600 baud rate, none parity, and 8 data bit. * Baud Rate can be 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400 * Parity can be even, odd, space, mark, or none. * Data Bit can be 7 or

It is sent after data stream for data You can adjust the Time Out duration for handshaking and ACK/NAK protocol to fit applications. This scanner supports serial TTL interface which follows the RS232 communication data format but with TTL voltage output ranged from 0V to 5V. Page 10 3.3 Serial TTL Time Out: verification.

4.1 To install the scanner as a terminal interface, you need a DB25 RS232 cable, a terminal wedge “Y” cable and an AC adapter. See Figure 3 for Installation procedures: 1) Power off the terminal and unplug the communication cable at terminal side. 2) Install the interface cable as shown in Figure 3. The “Y” cable provided in Figure 3 is for terminals with female connector on communication port. If there is a male connector on your terminal, you need a converter to change that male to female and

The default setting for the terminal interface is 9600 baud rate, none parity, and 8 data bit. * Baud Rate can be 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or * Parity can be even, odd, space, m

5.1 Figure 4 shows how a wand emulation scanner is installed to a data collection terminal. User needs to pay attention to the scanner pinout that should be the same as specified by the terminal. 5.2 When device number “07” is selected, the scanner is set as wand emulation with Code 39 output. In this configuration, the scanner always outputs data with Code 39 symbology no matter what symbology of the label it scans. You may scan the following label if this setting matched your application. Whe
