Preface
Using this Manual
This manual is a reference guide for using the AdaptaScan Software.
It describes features and procedures for configuring the operation of
the AdaptaScan Bar Code Reader.
Because this is a reference manual it covers all the features of the
AdaptaScan Software. You may not use or need to use all the
features, so use the manual as needed.
If you’re just getting started, make sure you work through the
Getting Started chapter. It takes you through all the steps
required to get the Reader scanning and decoding bar code
symbols.
The AdaptaScan Bar Code Reader includes a scanner and decoder in
a single compact package. The Reader is configured using a

based package that lets
you create, store and download applications. To simplify application
design, the AdaptaScan software uses menus, dialog boxes and tools
which are standard in Windows.
Applications are transferred between your computer and an
AdaptaScan Reader using a communication cable.
This manual is written for the individual responsible for designing
bar code applications. We assume you are familiar with bar code
terminology. A glossary is provided at the end of this manual if you
are not familiar with a word or acronym.
Because AdaptaScan software runs in Microsoft Windows, you

Windows and dialog boxes. To learn basic windows techniques, read
the User’s Guide that came with your Microsoft Windows package.
