1 - 8 3800/3900 User’s Guide
In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in
the same format as a wand scanner. The Same Code format transmits UPC,
EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes without any changes, but
converts all other symbologies to Code 39.
The following Wand Emulation bar code sets the interface to Wand Emulation
mode and translates bar code data as Code 39 symbology. It also programs the
Transmission Rate to 25 inches per second, and Output Polarity to black high.
Note: For the 3800PDF model: When the 3800PDF interface is set to wand
emulation, all PDF417 bar code data is transmitted as Code 128. Data
from other symbologies follow the rules described above.
