RE: Barcode scanners



Ray,
 
Do I take it that this means that this cannot be used with an IBM compatible PC? - the manual seems to suggest that you can connect it in between the keyboard and the pc, is this true?
 
(Seeing loads of HA apps for this, but thinks there is a catch!!)

Craig,
 
I didn't get any docs come with it at all (hence why I foolishly plugged it straight into my PC's serial port). However, a bit of web searching turned up PDF manuals for it... Just wish I'd looked first :-(
 
 
HTH, Ray Barnett.

Ray, I purchased this model a couple of months back, when the link was originally posted to the group. I assummed it just connected in-line with the keyboard, but looking at the connectors this did not look right, so it is still sitting in a box somewhere. Do you have any docs with yours on how to connect to a PC?

      Thought people might be interested to know that I came across a supplier of cheap barcode scanners... £20 for a second hand "guaranteed to work" unit.
     
      I'd like to report how well they work, only I read the bit about it supporting TTL RS232 *after* I plugged it in to my PCs RS232 port? Anyone care to venture the odds on it still being alive? Oops..

      Just don't plug them straight into a 12v serial port like I just did ;-)
