Command Line

If you are developing your own software, this utility is especially helpful to

determine the effect of certain scanner functions that work ‘behind the scenes’ in
the plugin. Although the scanner requires commands in upper case only, this
dialog converts all characters to upper case for you by reversing the operation of
the shift key. The

Send

button issues the command to the scanner and the

Read

button will receive data back. Errors are reported next to the

Result:

text at the

bottom center of the dialog box.

The SCSI and GPIB search buttons are repeated in this box as in the main

dialog. They lead, however, to auxiliary dialogs as shown below.

SCSI Search Dialog

The SCSI button brings up the pop-up menu

Always Find Device

, the

default setting where the SCSI bus is searched each time for an LS-3510AF
scanner.

You may optionally 'hardwire' the device to the plugin by setting a specific

address as shown in Figure 49.
