Connecting the Scanner in Keyboard Wedge Mode
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
non decoded output mode.
Note: The IMAGETEAM 4410 and 4710 scanners are factory programmed for a
keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard.
The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from
the back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropri-
ate interface cable to
the scanner and to the
terminal/
computer. The scan-
ner will beep twice.
4. Connect the power
supply (4 to 9V).
5. Turn the terminal/com-
puter power back on.
6. Verify the scanner
operation by scanning
a bar code. The scan-
ner will beep once.
Thescannerisnowconnectedandreadytocommunicatewithyourterminal/PC.
You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can be
transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, see"Terminal Interface" on page 2-4. If the scanner is connected via a
serial port, turn to "Connecting the Scanner to a Serial Port" on page 1-7.

Reading Techniques
The hand-held Imager has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam
that corresponds to the Imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam
should be centeredover thebar code, but it can be positioned in anydirection for
a good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the Imager is closer to the code and larger
whenit is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller barsor elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. (see "Depth of Field Charts (4410
& 4710)" on page 10-4.) To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an
object), hold the Imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the
trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol.
