S Select 1551/1553 to enable the Sabre 1551E or 1553 Tethered Scanner
to scan, then send data as keyboar d data. The 1551/1553 Tethered
Scanner has software onboard that translates scanned data into charac-
ters, so the running/active application does not need to know how to do
that. All the scanner control and data transfer APIs will work with the
1551/1553 Tethered Scanner, so you can control the device.
S Select Disable All to disable this feature and use the COM1 port for
another application, such as ActiveSync. An error message will result if
this option were not selected, but this action was attempted. Similarly, if
ActiveSync is u sing the COM1 port, and you select Comm Port Wedge
or 1551/1553, an error message will result. See “Error Message”for
more information.

ther the Comm Port Wedge nor the 1551/1553 Tethered Scanner can be

sage is for the Comm Port Wedge. You must disable that application to free
