Bar Code Scanner
Bar code scanning capabilities are available using
either a laser scanner or a wand (or pen) scanner. The
laser scanner allows non-contact, instantaneous, and
accurate input of unit weight, tare weight, and ID
code.
The scanner can become operational by connecting
the scanner cable to the circular DIN connector in the
rear of the scale keyboard. The pen reader is an
economical method to use the accuracy and speed of
bar code data input when contact scanning is
available. Be sure to verify the correct settings on
Specifications 14 and 15 (see
Section 5.1.1
).
8.10 Intput Data Format
The IQ9500 provides two methods to input data; one
is with a header and the other, without a header. The
format using a header is shown in the diagram below.
The format for without a header is shown below
(identified as an ID code).
8.11 Three Lines Bar Code
The IQ9500 can read three lines of bar code. The
following illustrations show the configuration for
Lines 1, 2, and 3.
Line 1:
Line 2:
