ScanView Installation and Setup

Introduction

ScanView is designed to be a tool used for system setup and real-time bar code monitoring of a Hand Held Products SV type scanner/verifier. It is a Windows 2000/XP application with facilities for sending commands to the SV scanner/ verifier and receiving the responses. The program can view bar code analysis results and monitor bar code printing/monitoring sessions. In addition, it can gather and display an ISO method scan reflectance profile for a particular symbol placed in the SV unit’s laser beam scan path. ScanView also streams the analysis results received from the SV scanner/verifier to data files on hard disk that can be reviewed by ScanView at a later time.

Note: This chapter refers to ScanView versions 2.08 and higher.

Note: If you are not using ScanView, skip this section and go to Chapter 5.
