Read Me First
This scanner provides additional functionality
beyond those available in a standard wedge-only
scanner. Prior to performing any programming to
address these features, it is important to
understand what these functions are and how to
use them. The following will explain the operation
and programming of the additional functions.
General Information
The RANGER scanner can operate in either a
wedge, wand emulation or SureOne mode using
the appropriate cable adapters. It can also be
used to operate with a laptop computer with the
appropriate adapter cable. A SureOne Kit scanner,
although capable of operating in other modes, is
terminated in a connector specific to the SureOne
terminal and should not be programmed to
operate in other than the SureOne or Laptop
mode.
In the wedge mode, a RANGER operates like any
wedge scanner, namely, it emulates a keyboard
input to the device to which it is connected. Some
devices, primarily decoder boxes and data
collection terminals, are designed to operate with a
pen-style (or wand) scanner. A RANGER scanner
can be programmed to operate as a wand
scanner simply by attaching the wand emulation
adapter cable. Once in wand emulation mode,
the scanner can be programmed for the wand
options using the menu on page 20.
