Selecting the Interface Type
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

SELECTING THE INTERFACE TYPE
Upon completing the physical connection between the
reader base station and its host, proceed directly to the
Interface Selection paragraph below, to program the
reader for the interface type it is connected to (for exam
-
ple: RS-232, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate bar code to
select your system’s correct interface type.
Interface Selection
You can select a multi-interface (supporting RS-232 and
USB) or an Ethernet interface according to the base model
used. Information and programming options for each
interface type are provided in this section. For defaults
and additional information associated with each interface,
proceed to the corresponding chapter in the PowerScan™
9600 Family PRG.
CONFIGURING THE INTERFACE
Scan the appropriate programming bar code to select the
interface type for your system.
NOTE: Unlike some other programming features and
options, interface selections require that you scan only
one programming label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT label
prior to scanning an interface selection label.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the dis
-
abled state when powered up. If you read one of these
interface selections by mistake, or if additional scanner
configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger
and hold for 5 seconds. The scanner will change to a state
that allows reading programming labels.
This procedure is allowed only once after the reader is
powered up. If it is necessary to repeat the procedure, you
must cycle power to the base charger before repeating.
