IRDA INTERFACE (SELECTED MODE)
An IrDA ‘Infrared Data Association” makes communication & data exchange possible over
infrared light IrDA interfaces are used in palmtop computers, mobile phones, and laptop
computers etc, (although today, many laptops no longer offer IrDA in favor of Bluetooth)
Often, this interface is used primarily for communication between PCs, to communicate to server or for
printing Refer to your Application Specialist or immediate supervisor for more details regarding the use of this
interface from your CE8000B unit Some basic information follows:
• To communicate using an IrDA interface, the peripheral or remote computer must also be equipped with
an IrDA Interface or communication will be possible
• If both devices are equipped with an IrDA Interface, point the red window located on the side of the unit next to the
connector pins, towards the IrDA receptor on the peripheral (Not different to using an ordinary TV remote control)
• Communication will be possible at a distance not farther than one (1) meter, (3 feet)

c) DAP Utilities
d) CE Pad
2 Hold the unit steadily at a distance of 10 cm (4

2D Barcode Reader
This special option is usually installed and congured in-house at the manufacturer’s
The 2D Barcode Reader is primarily controlled by the client application and a special driver Therefore, please
refer to your application specialist or supervisor for further instructions
You may also refer to the CE8000B Technical Guide located on DOCUDAP for further instructions on
programming
Unlike the laser scanner, the 2D reader does not “swipe” the barcode, but rather, it takes a reading
much like a “photograph” which is then recognized and interpreted by the unit Reading a barcode can be
taken from any angle
The 2D Barcode Reader will emit a red beam allowing the user to adequately focus on the barcode needing
to be read
Once the reading has been completed, the device will emit a sound The numeric code will then be displayed
on the screen
You can release the trigger at any time to cancel the reading
