Creating Bar Codes

EZConfig Editor embeds EXM files in bar codes. The EZConfig Client on the terminal decodes the bar code and deploys the data. Using bar codes quickly and easily configures Dolphin terminals without an IrDA, ActiveSync, or network connection to a workstation.

Document Types

EZConfig Editor produces two kinds of EXM files: configuration documents and registry documents. Both can be embedded in bar codes and processed by EZConfig Client on the terminal.

Configuration Documents

EZConfig Client deploys the EXM file in the terminal. If an EXM file is associated with an application, EZConfig Client deploys the data to that application for processing; see Associating Applications on page 2-16.

Note: The DeviceConfig.exm file must be associated with DeviceConfig.exe to be processed appropriately on the terminal.

Registry Documents

EZConfig Client updates the registry immediately without launching another application.

Bar Code Type

EZConfig Editor creates an Aztec bar code; for example,

.

Time and Date Stamp

EXM files are stamped with the time and date the moment EZConfig Editor creates the barcode.

Bar Code Size and Number

The amount of data in the EXM file determines how many bar codes are generated and the physical size of each bar code. More data means more bar codes and larger bar codes.

EZConfig Editor offers four ways to control how many bar codes are produced and adjust the size of each bar code:

1.Set byte size limits on how much data each bar code can contain—see Max Barcode Size on page 2-24.

2.Split the data across a specified number of bar codes—see # Bar codes to generate on page 2-23.

3.Simplify the EXM file in the bar code—see Simplified on page 2-23.

4.Scale the bar codes on the bar code sheet—see Bar Code Scaling Factor on page 2-26.
