Symbol® Portable Barcode Readers
Both these scanners are serial devices. The CS-1504 comes with either a serial cable
or USB cable. There are no USB drivers for Linux, you must get the serial version.
Linux Installation
To use either model scanner with a serial cable is easy. Simply connect the barcode
reader cable to any available serial port. You're done.
You can also use either scanner with a USB->Serial adapter.
Scanning
Scanning is simple, just press and hold the larger button and point the device
at the barcode. A red line will be visible over the barcode. The reader will beep when it
has read the code.
To use either device with Readerware, start Readerware auto-catalog. When you get to the
item input page, click on the Upload button. The Readerware Scanner Upload
dialog will be displayed. Select your scanner model and the port it is connected to. Click
on Upload. That is all there is to it. Readerware will connect to the scanner
and upload the barcodes to your PC.
When the upload finishes click OK to close the dialog and load the barcodes
directly into the auto-catalog wizard.
As always, full information is provided in the
online help.
