Can I make and download my own full screen images?
Yes, using MS-Paint or a similar program, you can generate your own bitmaps.
Required format: 240 x 128 pixels, 2 bits colourdepth (B&W).
Using I-Start or U-Start (or your own application), you can send it to the Discovery.
Which I-Start/U-Start version do I have?
For I-Start: Click on the Discovery picture in the opening screen.
For U-Start click on the “Scantech– ID ” name just above the Discovery screen.
How many demo articles can I store in I-Start or U-Start?
I-Start lets you define up to 50 articles yourself. This is good for demonstrations.
U-Start has 4 standard barcodes pre-programmed. You can find these codes in
this Appendix F.
Please remind that in normal use with a central database, the number of stored
barcodes is unlimited .
The I-Start on my computer does not work 100% correctly with my Discovery unit.
You are probably using an outdated version of I-Start. Due to the strong increase
in screen possibilities, not all I-Start and Discovery terminal firmware versions are
compatible. Make sure you always use the highest release versions. Read the info
documents on your CD. In case of doubt, contact Scantech Technical Support.
Note: all Firmware updates are designed to be fully compatible with existing
applications (on host systems) which are developed according to the Discovery
guidelines.
How do I choose between the different Character sets?
The character-sets can be selected by means of escape-codes. Set 1 and 2 are
based on Codepage 850 and Codepage 1252 respectively.
Look for the extended Discovery Command Set Appendix B.
Does the Discovery display support Cyrillic, Greek, Turkish and ….. characters?

table. See the Manual Appendix C.
Can I display some special national characters?
