Data Capture

This section provides information for capturing barcode data using various scanning options.
The VC8300 supports scanners that use the Human Interface Device (HID) and Simple Serial Interface (SSI) protocols. In HID mode, the scanner sends data to the VC8300 like entering characters on a keyboard. In SSI mode, the scanner sends data to the VC8300 in packets which can be ASCII data or as part of a larger message.
The device supports data capture using:
  • Tethered serial scanner connected to COM1 or COM2 port:
    • DS3508-ER, HD, SR
    • DS3608-SR, ER, HP, HD
    • LI3608-SR
    • LS3408-ER, FZ
    • Other tethered serial scanners.
  • Tethered USB scanner connected to a USB host port:
