Visual Menu 2003 Introduction

Visual Menu 2003 provides the ability to configure a Hand Held Products scanning device by connecting the scanner to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu 2003 allows you to download updates to a scanner’s firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Menu 2003, you can even set up the configuration for a scanner which is not attached to your PC. 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) that 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 IT2020-5A, Visual Menu 2003 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 IT2020-5A, is also required.

Note: IT5620/IT2020-5A works only with Visual Menu 2003 version 4.2 or later.

Visual Menu 2003 Operations

The Visual Menu 2003 program performs the following operations:
