Scanner Control and Data Transfer

Note: To use the methods described below, enable Data Collection func-
tionality on the 700 Computer using the bootloader configuration menu.

The Data Server and associated software provide several ways to manipu-
late scanner control and data transfer between the scanner subsystem and
user applications:

S Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces:

These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data,
and configure and control the bar code reader engine.

S ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl functions:

These ActiveX controls allow user applications to collect bar code data
from the scanner, to configure the scanner, and to configure audio and
visual notification when data arrives.

S ITCAxReaderCommand functions:

Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration infor-
mation using the reader interface commands.

S Scanning EasySet bar code labels:

You can use the EasySet

R

bar code creation software from Intermec

Technologies Corporation to print configuration labels. Scan the labels
to change the scanner configuration and data transfer settings.

Use the Intermec EasySet software to print configuration labels you can
scan to change your configuration settings. For more information, see
the EasySet online help. EasySet is available from the Intermec Data
Capture web site.

For more information, see the Data Collection Resource Kit in the Inter-
mec Developer Library (IDL), which is available as a download from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com. Contact your Intermec represen-
tative for more information.
