Introduction
The IS4320-41 ScanKey™ Laser Scanner is a wearable, fully automatic, laser
scanning device complete with keypad and LCD. Since the IS4320-41 is
positioned on the back of the hand, operators can scan data quickly and easily.
This “hands free” scanning increases operator efficiency and work
productivity. Traditional hand-held scanners require the operator to interrupt
the work flow by picking up the scanner and returning it to its stand. With the
ScanKey, not only are both hands free to perform other tasks, but the operator
is always ready and able to scan.
In addition to quick scanning, ScanKey’s 17-button keypad enables bar code
data to be manually entered. All information is displayed and then transmitted
to the host device. Portable data terminals and computers requiring RS-232 or
Light Pen Emulation communication are common host devices.
Metrologic’s HandSet™ IBM® compatible software program and simple bar
code menus make the ScanKey easy to program. Host- programmable features
can be displayed at the user’s prompt.
Two-way host communication is also a feature of the RS-232 version
ScanKey. Among other host-programmable features, operators can use either
long-range or short-range activation, establish which bar codes are to be read,
and command a “good scan” beep indicator. These features can be
accomplished through the command processing set.
The IS4320-41 ScanKey autodiscriminates all standard bar codes, including
bar code types with alphanumeric characters. Specifically assigned sequences
are provided to translate the standard numeric keys for alphanumeric data
entry.
