Barcode Reader Option
If your unit has the barcode reader option installed, Hot Key Button 1 (the touch-sensitive button above the
computer screen) is factory-set to act as the barcode reader trigger. This can be re-assigned to any hot key you
wish (see "Hot Keys" section of the RT-12i Manual). When you press Hot Key 1, the red LEDs on the barcode
reader should light up, indicating that the barcode reader is scanning. They stay lit for approximately 10
seconds before timing out and shutting off. During these 10 seconds, you scan the barcode you wish to scan.
The scanner also projects a green line to help assist in positioning the barcode.
Finding out the COM Port Number of the Barcode Reader
:
Open the
Windows Device Manager
. Under the "
Ports (COM & LPT)
" category, you should see a device
called "
Honeywell N5600 Area-Imaging Engine (COMx)
" The COM number in parentheses is the COM port
number assigned to the barcode reader. Note the COM port number and close the Device Manager.
