Overview
First of all, thank you for choosing Unitech’s products.  This decoder
build-in scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as
keyboard wedge, RS232 serial wedge, RS232 terminal wedge, wand
emulation, and the latest USB interface. In most of the cases, simply
selecting an appropriate cable with a device code will work for a
specific interface.
As a keyboard interface, the scanner supports most of the popular PCs
and IBM terminals. The installation of the wedge scanner is a fairly
simple process without any changes of software or hardware.
As a RS232 serial interface, the scanner sends data by using RS232
communication protocol. The communication speed (baud rate) ranges
from 300 bps to 38400 bps with both hardware and software
handshaking are implemented.
As a RS232 terminal interface, systems with ANSI ASCII
communication environment such as UNIX, XENIX are supported.
The scanner is installed between a host computer and a terminal and
supports full duplex, half duplex and block communication modes.
As a wand emulation scanner, the output of the scanner emulates a
wand scanner output. Two output formats are supported, Code 39
format and Native format. In Code 39 format, the scanner always
outputs the same data contents but with Code 39 symbology no matter
what symbology of the label is encoded. In Native format, the scanner
output the same contents and symbology as the scanned label.
