Honeywell 1902 Scanner User Manual


 
10 - 4
To communicate with a scanner, EZConfig 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 external
power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a USB
cable is required.
EZConfig Operations
The EZConfig 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.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Scanner
can perform. You can capture an image using the current settings, and
the image will be displayed in an image window. Images captured
from the scanner can be saved to files in different image formats. You
can modify the image settings and save the image settings to an INI
file, which can be loaded later to capture new images. Imaging also
lets you preview the images continuously captured by the scanner.
