Configuring the Imager
You need to program the imager for your interface before you
can transmit bar code data to your computer. You can configure
the imager for:
• a keyboard wedge interface. See the next section, “Keyboard
Wedge Interface.”
• a serial port (RS-232) interface. RS-232 is the default
configuration; however, you still need to program the imager
for the RS-232 interface. See “Serial/RS-232 Interface” on
page 8.
Note: The RS-232 interface is only compatible
with applications that can retrieve data from the
computer’s COM port.
Keyboard Wedge Interface
1 Connect the power supply (4 to 9V) to the keyboard wedge
interface cable and plug in the power supply.
Or, charge and install the battery pack in the imager.
The imager beeps twice.

corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming
beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be
positioned in any direction for a good read.
