Note: The PQA report is sent out as a second data/beep sequence after the bar

code data. The report has its own Hand Held Products code ID of
>(0X3E) so it can be uniquely identified.

You can exit Full Report mode by either typing the menu command, 2D_PQA0,
if you are using Visual Xpress, or by scanning the following bar code:

Visual Xpress

Introduction

Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that
can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual Xpress
allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change programmed
parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Xpress,
you can even save/open the programming parameters for an imager. This saved
file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single bar code that contains
all the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that bar code to any
location. Users in other locations can scan the bar code to load in the
customized programming.

To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have a serial
port emulation using a physical USB port.

Visual Xpress Operations

The Visual Xpress 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 imager and receive
imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. 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 imager. The
imager'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 "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration
parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as
required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them
to a dcf file.
