Description
The Hewlett-Packard SmartWand
Bar Code Reader is a bar code
scanning wand with an integrated
decoder. It transmits data to a
computer via an asynchronous
serial port, using CMOS level
signals, at user definable baud
rates. The SmartWand Reader鈥檚
configuration may be changed by
scanning special bar code menus,
or by sending escape sequences
to the wand from the host. The
configuration is stored in non-
volatile memory, allowing the
SmartWand Reader to retain the
configuration when the power is
turned off. A Configuration
Display option sends a summary
of the configured options to the
screen.
In its default configuration, the
SmartWand Reader can
automatically recognize and
decode 9 standard bar code
symbologies. Configurable
options include: symbology
selection, checksum verification,
length checking, message editing,
LED feedback control, Code 39
digital wand emulation mode,
serial port configuration, and
various I/O protocols such as
single read modes, Xon/Xoff
pacing and no-read recognition.
The polycarbonate-cased
SmartWand Readers (HBSW-
8000,8200,8400) have an LED
near the tip that flashes after a
good read. The LED also flashes
during bar code menu
programming and to signal any
self-test failures after power-up.
All SmartWand Readers have an
enhanced software version of
