MicroBar 9730 DECODER
• The MicroBar 9730’s input device
ports are compatible with all
Intermec wand, CCD and laser
scanners, magnetic stripe readers,
slot readers and any RS232C device.
• The 9730 can connect most
non-Intermec input devices on the
market today.
• Connects to over 1500 interfaces
including PC’s (IBM®/Compatibles -
many keyboard types), Apple®, and a
range of terminals including IBM®
3XXX, HP, and Wyse.
• Fast decoding UPC, EAN, ISBT-128,
Code 39, Code 128…up to 20
different symbologies can be
auto-discriminated and rapidly
decoded by the 9730.
• 9730’s Data Formatter can be used to
format bar codes according to type
of symbology, bar code length, data
structure, and input port.
• The 9730 offers a variety of
commands that can perform various
functions, such as searching, deleting,
filling, and truncating.
• The 9730 uses the EasySet set-up
software for quick and easy
installation.
• Flash EPROM is includedfor ease of
future upgrades and as an
application platform.
The MicroBar 9730 is a compact universal
external decoder and interface adapter
that connects Automatic Data Capture
(ADC) devices to the widest range of PC’s
and terminals. The 9730 can be used to
decode the output of a simple bar code
wand or as a platform for advanced
applications. Easy to install, the 9730 can
connect multiple ADC inputs (wands,
hand-held scanners, magnetic stripe
readers, and RS232 devices, and many
more) to PC’s or terminals via their
keyboard or RS-232 ports.
The MicroBar 9730 is suitable for connect-
ing bar code wands and scanners to PC’s
in home, office, health, libraries, post office
and industrial applications, and for
connecting multiple input devices to a
single terminal in retail.
For advanced users the 9730 is an
application platform that provides
extremely powerful data formatting
capabilities. 20 full ASCII characters can be
specified as a pre/postamble. An addi-
tional 15 address characters can be added
per port. Masking and re-ordering can be
performed on up to 120 characters. With 5
masks selectable by symbology, port,
length, characters, and 100 characters—
all data formatting types. This allows the
full power of a bar code system to be
applied to specific applications.
Despite its powerful capabilities the 9730
is easy to install. Using EasySet set-up
software, with it’s simple WindowsTM
interface, the 9730 is quickly and easily
configured for use. All key parameters of
bar code symbologies, data format and
transmission are made by simple EasySet
commands, cloning or bar code menus.
EasySet has a unique concatenation
feature that allows a complete set up to
be printed as one set-up bar code. A
single unit connects via keyboard or serial
RS-232 ports without modification. This
simplifies stocking, reduces delivery time
and provides flexibility for future updates
of PC’s and terminals. The 9730 features a
good read LED and buzzer for the
operator. In keyboard emulation mode
(wedge) the input data appears as if it
were keyed in, enabling immediate
compatibility with the host’s hardware
and software. No software tools are
required.
