change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes.
Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parame-
ters for a scanner. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can cre-
ate a single bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters
and mail or fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan
the bar code to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with a scanner, EZConfig-Scanning requires that the PC have
at least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using
a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS232 cable, an exter-
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a
USB cable is required.
EZConfig-Scanning Operations
The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data
in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the scanner
and receive scanner response that can be seen in the Scan Data win-
dow. The data displayed in the Scan Data window can either be saved
in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the
scanner. The scanner's programming and configuration data is
grouped into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree
item under the "Configure" tree node in the application explorer. When
one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with
the parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The "Con-
figure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parame-
ters specified for a scanner. You can set or modify these parameters
as required. You can later write the modified settings to the scanner,
or save them to a dcf file.
