Single/Dual-Head Enhanced Bar Code Decoders
Product Data
3
Scanner Ports
The Dual-Head Decoder has two scanner ports, labeled Scanner A and
Scanner B. The Single-Head Decoder has only the Scanner A port.
➀
Figures
1 and 2 show the location of the ports.
The scanner ports support all of the Allen-Bradley medium and high speed
bar code scanners (see Accessories section). The scanners do not require a
separate power supply; they receive power directly from the decoder. The
NEMA Type 1 version of each decoder also supports all of the Allen-Bradley
stop and scan Visible Laser Diode (VLD) fixed mount and hand-held
scanners when used with the 2755-NC16 gun adapter.
The scanners on the Dual-Head Decoders can operate in two modes:
•
Coordinated Mode (Coordinated 1 and Coordinated 2)
Scanners A and B operate in a coordinated mode, each using the same
trigger source (Scanner A).
•
Independent Mode (Independent Package Detect or Host Triggered)
Scanner A and Scanner B operate with independent triggers.
