Operation
6.5.7
Auxiliary input
Function of the
terminal interface
. In this mode, the CLX accepts a bar code entered at the
terminal interface (via the keyboard or handheld scanner with decoder). It sends the bar
code to the host in a separate data string via its host interface. No reads can, therefore, be
corrected by transmitting missing bar codes subsequently.
Chapter 10.10.1 Auxiliary input, Page 10-27
describes this function and the associated pro-
cedure in greater detail.
6.5.8
Self-test
After the CLX has been switched on, it performs a self-test before it is initialized with the pa-
rameter set. The test can be called up explicitly at any time via CLV-Setup. During the self-
test, the CLX checks that its hardware components are functioning correctly. A final messa-
ge via the terminal interface provides information on the test result. The CLX does not output
a reading result during the test routine.

TEST
.
The "Device Ready" LED is extinguished. The CLX cancels the Reading mode and starts
the test routine.
After a few seconds, the CLX outputs the encoded test result in the form of a code
number (
).

To return to the Reading mode, click R

M
ODE
or close the terminal emulator.
The CLX then returns to the Reading mode and the "Device Ready" LED lights up.
The code number ”15
000
” means that the self-test was completed successfully and that
no faults were diagnosed.

ther with the associated corrective measures.
