Connecting Multiple Scanner
Up to 3 scanners can be paired with and connected to 1 cradle connected to a host
PC. When different barcode data are scanned by the 3 scanners at the same time,
the cradle will send the barcode data respectively scanned by the 3 scanners to a
PC. Different Prefix/Suffix per scanner will allow which scanner has sent the data.
Wireless connection to cradle
USB Interface
PS2 Interface

If multiple scanners are connected to the Host PC, in cradle-less mode, the data
will be mixed up (simultaneous scan).
