123Scan
Introduction
This chapter includes the bar code you must scan to use the 123Scan program.
123Scan is a Windows
®
based utility that allows the scanner to be setup and programmed
with all parameters including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. An ADF rule allows
bar code data to be modified before it is sent on to the host. This ensures compatibility
between bar coded data and the host application; the scanner is programmed rather than
modifying the host software. Scanners can be programmed via PC download or by
scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the utility. Scanner programming is saved in a
file that can be distributed electronically by e-mail. A help file is built into the program
123Scan.
Communication With the 123Scan PC Based
Configuration Tool
In order to communicate with the 123Scan program, which runs on a PC with Windows, use
an RS-232 cable to connect the scanner to the PC (see Connecting an RS-232 Interface
on page 6-2).
You will need:
• PC with Windows
• Scanner
• RS-232 cable.
