HBSW-8000 General 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's 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 nonvolatile 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 Hewlett-Packard's proven decoding algorithm. The SmartWands are also very suitable for portable computer or terminal applications due to its low current draw.
