How do I set up a CCD Scanner to work with an IPC POS terminal?

 

IPC POS terminals require an RS232 scanner with a modified lead. The scanner plugs into a dedicated powered 9-pin D-type port on the back of the IPC terminal. The output from the scanner is fed to the keyboard controller which decodes the output and presents the scanned bar code as if it had been typed on the keyboard.

 

The communication settings are 2400 baud with 7 data bits and 2 stop bits.

For CCD scanners supplied from IPL the following bar codes should be scanned from the programming manual that comes with the scanner.
