Power Image Configurator

Power Image Configurator provides the ability to configure an imaging device by connecting the imager to the COM port of a PC. Power Image Configurator allows you to download updates to a imager’s firm- ware, change programmed parameters, and create and print program- ming bar codes. This enables one expert user to establish the configuration settings for all the devices your company uses, then save these configuration files for others. A configuration file can be e-mailed or, if you prefer, an expert user can create a bar code (or series of bar codes) which contains all the customized programming parameters, and mail or fax the bar code(s) to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar code(s) to load in the customized parameters.

To communicate with an imager, Power Image Configurator requires that the PC have at least one available serial communication port and an RS-232 cable to connect the port to the device. A power supply, which plugs into the cable, is also required.

Power Image Configurator Operations

The Power Image Configurator program performs the following opera- tions:

•Displays all configuration data, and saves the information to a file on your PC.

•Configures the device to meet your specific requirements. Power Image Configurator has all the programming parameters that are available via programming bar codes in this Product Reference Guide.

•Creates and prints a clone bar code which contains the program and configuration data from one device. This bar code can then be used to program additional devices with the same parameters.
