Setting Up Barcode Readers
Test Barcode Reader Using HyperTerminal
Test all connected barcode readers one by one:
1
Open HyperTerminal and connect to the barcode reader’s
COM port (9600, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow
control).
2
In the Terminal window press the space bar a few times (to
connect).
3
Type
<+>
in the Terminal window.
This command causes the barcode reader to scan for a valid
barcode and either return a barcode string or a no-read.
Configure sj5000 Software
Once the barcode readers have been tested, the sj5000 software
has to be configured so that it knows which COM ports it should
wait for barcode packets on. The read trigger string must also be
configured (the string that the sj5000 will send to the barcode
readers when it wants them to attempt to read a barcode).
1
Launch the sj5000 software. From the
Tools
menu, click the
Barcodes
folder.
