One barcode reader can be connected to either a serial port, such as COM1, or USB port.
When connecting two barcode readers at the same time, store data in separate locations of [Save Data in] from [Data Display] and [Internal Device] or use different storing address by selecting [Internal Device].
If both devices choose to save data in the [Data Display], the system may not work properly.
Some models of barcode readers may not function correctly if connected. Be sure to try connecting before using.
If [Save Data in] is set to [Internal Device] and [Set Up Receive Completion Bit] is set, turn OFF the receive completion bit when input is complete. The display unit will not read code data without turning the read completion bit OFF.
When the [Parity Bit] is [None] and the communication speed settings for the barcode reader are different from those of the display unit, the system may read invalid data because it cannot detect errors. Use the same communication settings for both the devices.
When you do not use the [Set Up Receive Completion Bit] setting, reading in data continuously will overwrite previous code data.
If switching between screens while entering data, the switching process takes priority and the data being input is ignored.
If [Input Barcode] is not set in the [Data Entry] tab for the Data Display, the read code data is not written to the Data Display.
If the number of the read code data exceeds the [Display Characters] set for a Data Display, the data cannot be properly displayed on the Data Display. The maximum number of display characters that can be set in a Data Display is 100 (single-byte) characters.
