S Select 1551/1553 to enable the Sabre 1551E or 1553 Tethered Scanner
to scan, then send data as keyboard data. The 1551/1553 Tethered
Scanner has software onboard that translates scanned data into charac-
ters, so the running/active application does not need to know how to do
that. All the scanner control and data transfer APIs will work with the
1551/1553 Tethered Scanner, so you can control the device.
S Select Disable All to disable this feature and use the COM1 port for
another application, such as ActiveSync. An error message will result if
this option were not selected, but this action was attempted. Similarly, if
ActiveSync is using the COM1 port, and you select Comm Port Wedge
or 1551/1553, an error message will result. See “Error Message” for
more information.
Error Message
If the COM1 port is used by another application, such as ActiveSync, nei-
ther the Comm Port Wedge nor the 1551/1553 Tethered Scanner can be
enabled. As a result, the following message may appear. Note that this mes-
sage is for the Comm Port Wedge. You must disable that application to free
up the COM1 port before you can enable either the wedge or the scanner.
Changing Comm Settings
Tap Change Comm Settings to configure the settings for the COM1
port. Current settings are restored after a warm-boot is performed, but are
lost after a cold-boot is performed. When these settings are not changed,
the OK button is disabled (grayed out). When changes are made, tap OK
after it is enabled to accept these changes.
