Test Menu

When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this
manual, the scanner displays the content of a programming code. The pro-
gramming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that program-
ming code is output to the terminal.

Note: This feature should not be used during normal scanner operation.

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction

EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions
that can be performed on a scanner connected to your PC's COM port. EZCon-
fig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware,
change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes.
Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parame-
ters for a scanner. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can cre-
ate 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 a scanner, EZConfig-Scanning requires that the PC have
at least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using
a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS232 cable, an exter-
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a
USB cable is required.

EZConfig-Scanning Operations

The EZConfig-Scanning 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 scanner
and receive scanner response that can be seen in the Scan Data win-
dow. 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
scanner. The scanner's programming and configuration data is
grouped into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree
