For example, if your system has a 9191 satellite wand station and an internal
slot scanner, you can only scan from one or the other at one time. The 9560
cannot process information from both scanners at the same time.
The internal magnetic card reader does not use the video line and does not
interfere with wands or scanners. You can swipe a magnetic card and scan a
label with a wand at the same time.
Attaching Devices to the Terminal Plug
Use the terminal plug to attach a remote terminal, external magnetic card
reader, or other device to the 9560. If you order the 9560 with the internal
magnetic card reader, you cannot attach an external device to the terminal
plug. The internal magnetic card reader uses the terminal plug.
Installing the 9560 Without Input Devices
You can install the 9560 without a 1700 keyboard or any other external input
device. If you do, you must start the IRL program before permanently
mounting the unit, or you must start the IRL program from the host. For more
information, see “Creating and Running IRL Programs” in Chapter 9.
Unattended Scanning
You can configure the 9560 to accept input from an unattended laser scanner.
For example, you can mount a laser scanner beside a conveyor line where
boxes with bar code labels pass in front of the scanner. You can set the scanner
to automatically scan when it senses a label. This is called remote triggering.
You either physically set the 9560 for remote triggering, or you can send
software commands to the 9560.
To physically enable remote triggering
1. Position jumper J17 to short pins 1 and 2.

Or, provide an external device that senses when a bar code is waiting to be
read. When triggered, the external device should short pin 11 on either the
modem or terminal port to signal ground (pin 7). Do not use pin 11 on the
unused port.
