6 Introduction to installation
Note: If any of the below operation is incorrect, turn off the power immediately and check the image
platform for any improper connections. Go through all steps again.
6-1 Installation - keyboard wedge
1. Switch off the host and unplug the keyboard connector.
2. Attach the phone jack connector of the Y-cable to the Host interface ①on the image platform.
3. Connect the round female DIN keyboard connector ②of the Y-cable to the keyboard. Note that this
step may be not necessary for some devices.
4. Connect the round male DIN host connector of the Y-cable to the keyboard port ③on the host
device.
5. Ensure that all connections are secure.
6. Switch on the host system. If connect properly, the beeper and the LED of the image platform will
indicate.
Figure 6-1 Installation of keyboard wedge cable

9
6-2 Installation - RS-232
1. Switch off the host.
2. Attach the phone jack connector of the RS-232 cable to Host interface on the image platform.
3. Connect another end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port (PIN 9) on the device.
4. If the host does not have power supply (on PIN 9), connect the external power supply (5V DC
adapter) to the RS-232 cable.
5. Switch on the host. If connect properly, the beeper and the LED of the image platform will indicate.
Figure 6-2 Installation of RS232 cable
6-3 Installation - USB
The image platform attaches directly to a USB host, and is powered by external power supply.
1. Switch off the host.
2. Attach the phone jack connector of the USB cable to the Host interface on the image platform.
3. Connect another end of the USB cable to an available USB port of the Host.
4. Connect the external power supply (5V DC adapter) to the USB cable.
5. Switch on the Host. If connect properly, the beeper and the LED of the image platform will indicate.
6. Windows OS will automatically detect the USB device.

7 Parameter menus
7-1 Single-parameter setting by scanning barcodes
Important notes:
1. During the process of programming, LED is lighting to indicate the programming correctness. LED
will go off if any incorrect programming operation performed.
2. After each successful programming, LED will go off and the image platform will beep twice.
3. Throughout the programming barcode menus, the factory default settings are indicated with
asterisks (*).
Two programming modes have been provided as bellows:
❶Single-scan setting
Scan the appropriate Single-scan setting according to the user‘s demand.
Example: to set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Scan the following barcode.
❷Multiple-scan setting
Step 1. Scan the Option barcode barcode according to the user‘s demand.
Step 2. To the right of the option barcode, the necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. Scan
two alphanumeric entries from 0 to 9 or A to F, refer to the chapter of “14 Configuration
alphanumeric entry barcode” .
Step 3. Repeat Step 2, if more user parameters input are required.
Step 4. Scan the %END% barcode, listed on the lower left hand corner of each parameter
setting part.
Example: to set Flow control to be XON/XOFF.
Steps: Referring to the chapter of “7-5 RS-232 interface” , scan the following barcodes in order.

7-2 Operate the image platform by receiving command via UART
Note:
1- The information in this chapter is provided for the image platform with RS232 cable or USB cable.
2- If the image platform is with USB cable, the setting of USB device type must be set as “USB virtual
COM”. Please refer to the chapter of “7-6 USB interface”.
3- Please read the chapter of “7-7 Scan mode & Some global settings”about the setting of Scanning
mode in details.
UART parameter should be set as below:
(1) Baud rate: 9600 bps;
(2) Data bits: 8 bits;
(3) Stop bit: 1 bit;
(4) Parity check bit: None;
(5) Flow control: None.
Guide of control command: all commands are sent by UART
1) Start command: “0x54”(T)
When the image platform received the above command, it will start barcode scanning following the
setting of Scanning mode. If the image platform is in the mode of “Auto-detection”, the image platform
will have a single scan, then returns to “Auto-detection”mode.
2) Stop command: “0x50” (P)
If the Scanning mode is set as “Alternate continue”or “Continue”, and the image platform received the
above command, it will stop barcode scanning and act as in an idle mode.
3) Restart command: “0x52”(R)
Once the image platform received the above command, it will restart.
Returning message from the image platform
1) A successful decode
Once the image platform successfully decoded a barcode, the image platform will stop scanning and
returns the barcode data to the Host.
2) Not a successful decode
Once the image platform failed to decode a barcode before stopping scanning, the image platform will
return a message to the Host. The message is set as “0x25, 0x25, 0x4E, 0x6F, 0x52, 0x65, 0x61,
0x64”(%%NoRead).

7-3 Interface selection
This image platform supports interfaces such as keyboard wedge, RS-232 serial wedge, and USB
interface. In most of the cases, simply selecting an appropriate cable provided by the manufacturer will
work for a specific interface.
Interface selection:
Auto detection- By setting this function, the image platform will automatically detect the keyboard
wedge, RS-232 or USB interface for user.

7-4 Keyboard wedge interface
Keyboard type: As a keyboard interface, the image platform supports most of the popular PCs and IBM
terminals.
Keyboard layout: The image platform supports different national keyboard layouts. Commonly an
appropriate encoding system must be selected. Please refer to Character encoding system of “ 7-7 Scan
mod & Some global settings ”for details.
Clock period: According to the PS2 protocol, the clock is provided by the device, e.g. keyboard or image
platform, with the period between 60us to 100us.
Delay-after-compound-key: In some rare occasions, machine with low speed PS2 communication port
would require a free time gap following the press/release of the compound key (Shift, Ctrl or Alt).
Numeric key:
Alphabetic key- the image platform will output code result as alphabetic key.
Numeric key- the image platform will output code result as pressing numeric keypad ( ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’,
‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘/’, ‘*’only).
Alt+ keypad- the image platform will output code result as pressing Alt+ numeric key (on keypad).
Note that the Num Lock control key must be ON. This setting can be specially adapted for use with
different national keyboard layout.
Power-on simulation: All of the PCs check the keyboard status during power-on self test. It simulates
keyboard timing and passes keyboard present status to the PC during power-on.
Inter-character delay: This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted.
Inter-byte delay: This delay is inserted after each byte transmitted. Normally a character is comprised of
three or above bytes.
Block trans. delay: It is a delay timer between barcode data output. This feature is used to transfer
continually with shorter barcode data.
Caps Lock reversion:By setting enable, the status of Caps Lock key (i.e. being pressed ON or OFF) on
the keyboard is simulated in a reversion status.
Caps Lock override: If this function is enabled, on AT or AT notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the
state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’in the barcode is sent as an ‘A’no matter what the state of
the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.
A guide of setting while the scanned data is incorrectly displayed on the host
If some characters are missed or some additional characters are incorrectly displayed on the host,
set the Inter-byte delay (0208) to be “01”or greater value.
If some capital character (e.g. “A”) or compound-key-characters (e.g.“shift+”, “Ctrl＋”, “Alt+”） are
displayed incorrectly, set the Delay-after-compound-key (0204) to be “01”or greater value.
If some digits are incorrectly displayed as some symbol characters (e.g. “1”and “2”are displayed
incorrectly as “!”and “@”), set the Clock period (0203) to be greater value (e.g. 04, 05).
