easily.  
The RF link device is under control of an application running on the  
terminal. Your System Administrator must load the application before you  
use it.

documentation for the terminal and printer for more information.  
Following is the RF link device’s power switch.

within three meters of each other.  
3 . Turn on the terminal.  
4 . Turn on the printer. Ready appears on its screen.  
5 . Turn on the RF link device. The linking process begins.  
When the link is established, the RF link device’s Status LED (green)

To scan a bar code:  
1 . Point the scanner at a slight angle approximately 4 – 8 inches from  
the bar code symbol.  
2 . Pull the trigger until you hear a beep, which indicates a complete  
scan. If you let go of the trigger before the beep, the scan stops  
immediately.  
CAUTION: Do Not stare into the beam.  
If the bar code does not scan:  
Change the angle of the scanner slightly and try again.  
Clean the scanner window.  
Move the scanner 4 – 8 inches away from the bar code. Adjust this  
distance as needed to find the correct distance.  
Try scanning another bar code that you have scanned successfully. If  
that scan is successful, the scanning problem is with the bar code.  
Move to a more dimly lit area.  
Be sure there are no voids in the bar code symbol.

RF Communication Problems  
If the RF link device and the printer are not communicating, try each of  
these suggestions to correct the problem.  
Change or recharge the terminal’s battery.  
Have your System Administrator ensure that the following  
communication parameters are set on both the terminal and the  
printer:  
8 data bits  
No parity  
9600 baud  
1 stop bit  
DTR flow control (on the printer)  
RTS/CTS flow control (on the terminal).  
NOTE: The application on the terminal should be written with the  
parameters built in.  
Re-link the printer and RF link device.  
Move the modules closer than three meters apart.  
Move the RF link device and printer around to find the best relative  
position between the two.  
Swap in new devices (printer or RF link device) to narrow the problem  
down to a particular device.  
Make sure no other RF devices are within the 20-foot zone because  
they may obscure the intended linking.
