| - | Because these scanners are used for so many industries: checkout counters, manufacturing, inventory, shipping, etc. they are designed to be very configurable and flexible. The first thing you will have to pick out is the cable. **The raw scanner doesnt come with a cable** instead there is a 'ethernet' port on the back (its not really ethernet, it just looks like it) where you can have up to 8 wires come out. These wires carry the different interface wires. | + | Because these scanners are used for so many industries: checkout counters, manufacturing, inventory, shipping, etc. they are designed to be very configurable and flexible.

| You'll also need to configure the barcode scanner. The way you configure it is very cute, once its powered you scan barcodes from the printed out manual (see Downloads below) to tell it how you are going to use it, what volume the beeper should beep at, etc. etc. If you're using RS-232 you would indicate the baud rate by scanning say the 9600 baud rate in the manual. | You'll also need to configure the barcode scanner.

| - | If you are scanning at a desk, it may be convenient to have the scanner in a stand, this way you dont have to press the trigger every time to scan a sheet of paper. We use the scan and then just slide invoices with barcodes underneath. There's a little magnet in the stand and the scanner detects it to know when it should stay on. There are also powersaving modes if you want, check the manual for the config barcodes | + | If you are scanning at a desk, it may be convenient to have the scanner in a stand, this way you dont have to press the trigger every time to scan a sheet of paper.
