Setting Up Barcode Scanners

Barcode scanners read barcode numbers and make locating products in AcuityLogic easy and accurate. Although you can use any barcode scanner programmed to read the Interleaved 2 of 5 format with AcuityLogic, the following recommended barcode scanners have been tested:

  • Datalogic Gryphon GM4130 Wireless (Part #GM4130-BK-910K1 and Part #GM4130-WH-910K1)
  • Datalogic Heron HD3130 Wired (Part #HD3130-BKK1B and Part #HD3130-WHK1B)
  • Symbol LS2208-SR20007R-UR USB

The following discontinued barcode scanners are supported:

  • Datalogic Heron D130 Wired (Part #901801013)
  • Metrologic Voyager MS9535 (Part #MK9535-79B538)

Ensure that you purchase the keyboard wedge interface (not the serial or any other interface) with your barcode scanner.

Eyefinity recommends that you consult with your hardware technician to properly set up your barcode scanner.

This section explains how to program barcode scanners.

Topics include the following:

Program the scanner to read the Code 39 symbology.

  1. Scan the Restore Custom Default Configuration barcode to enter the programming mode.

  2. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode.

  3. Scan the Code 128 = Enable barcode.

  4. Scan the I 2 of 5 = Enable barcode to enable symbologies.

  5. Scan the Set Global Suffix barcode.

  6. Scan the 0 barcode.

  7. Scan the D barcode to configure the Enter key.

  8. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode to exit the programming mode.

  9. Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode again to exit the configuration programming mode.

You do not need to program the scanner. The Symbol scanner is preprogrammed to read all necessary symbologies.

Program the scanner to read the Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, and Code 39 symbologies.
