Connection to an Omnidirectional Scanner
Instead of connecting to a host, sometimes the handheld scanner is to be connected to
the AUX port of an omnidirectional scanner and transmit data to the host system via
this omnidirectional scanner. Such application is not uncommon in places like
hypermarkets and home improvement shops where there are products too heavy or
bulky to be put on the counter and need a handheld scanner to read their barcodes.
In most cases, the auxiliary input port’s data transmission format would follow the
main output format of the omnidirectional scanner, including barcode symbologies and
related parameters. For example, if the handheld scanner can read Codabar while the
omnidirectional scanner can not, the handheld scanner would decode a Codabar
barcode without transmitting the data. To complete the data transmission process, you
have to re-program the omnidirectional scanner and enable Codabar decoding
capability.
The following barcode allows you to enable and disable the AUX port. For more
application and connection instructions, refer to the manual of the omnidirectional
scanner.
