Section 1 INTRODUCTION Description The Omni™ slot reader can scan and decode most popular bar codes, and/or read 1, 2, or 3 tracks of magnetic stripe information, depending on the model. In addition, it has full data editing capabilities. The Omni can be connected to a single-ended serial device, such as a cash register, PC, or terminal, through an RS-232 serial port or a USB port, de- pending on the reader interface. This unit is fully programmable via keystroke commands. The data can

Section 2 INSTALLATION Host Connections The Omni reader is connected to the host’s RS-232 communications port. The cable has a DB-9 connector at one end, and is connected to the reader at the other end. (An adapter can be used to connect to a DB-25 RS-232 port.) The USB/RS-232 version of the Omni is connected to one of the host’s USB ports. It is necessary to configure the unit as an RS-232 device by installing the ID TECH USB/RS-232 drivers. Please see Appendix F for details. Data is transm

Section 3 CONFIGURATION The Omni reader must be appropriately configured to your application. Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the host system. These settings are programmed into the reader through the keyboard. Once pro- grammed, these configuration settings are stored in the reader’s non-volatile memory (so they are not affected by the cycling of power). Bar Code Input The reader may need to be configured to accept the desired bar code data and format it for transmissio

Default Settings The Omni reader is shipped from the factory with the default settings already programmed. In the following sections, the default settings are shown in boldface. For a list of all default settings, please see Appendix A. By default, the reader has been programmed with the least restricted settings, thus making the Omni reader able to read most bar code labels and standard format magnetic stripe cards out of box. The reader’s output data format can be reconfigured to meet t

Handshaking Some type of flow control or “handshaking” must be used between two devices to prevent data from being transmitted before the receiving device is ready to accept it. Handshake signals interrupt the flow of data until the receiving device is ready. SELECTION CODE: E4 X-On/X-Off A RTS/CTS B Stop Bit The stop bit function defines the number of bits used to end the data frame. Older equipment sometimes requires extra time after receiving a character in order to process it, an

Beep Volume The beep volume can be adjusted to two different levels, or turned off en- tirely. SELECTION CODE: B1 Off 0 Low 1 High 2 Code/Track ID Each bar code symbology or MSR track can be assigned a CODE ID charac- ter. This character is added to the beginning of the scanned data. The host can use this character to ensure that the data received came from the appropriate type of symbol. SELECTION CODE: B5 On A Off B Scan Verification In order to insure accuracy of scanned data
