USING THE BC96XX BASE STATION
The BC96XX base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ PM96XX readers,
builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar
code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS232, USB, USB Type C, or Ethernet,
depending on the interchangeable connection module.
With the adoption of the Wireless Power Transfer technology, the base station can
charge the battery of the gun without contacts, with a performance depending on the
power supply type used.
The label on the base station has LED indicators and a touch button. Touch the button
for 2 seconds and all properly configured and switched on scanners (with battery profile
different from Max Autonomy) that are linked to that base station and within the radio
range coverage, will emit a beep and blink within 5 seconds. This feature is useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a particular base station;
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere.
The LEDs signal the BC96XX status, as explained below.
