Scanner Wedge IntroductionStart > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner

Set HX2 scanner keyboard wedge parameters, enable or disable allowed symbologies, scanner icon appearance, active scanner port, and scan key settings.

Assign baud rate, parity, stop bits and data bits for available COM ports.

Parameters on the Main tab and the COM tab(s) apply to this device only.

Bar code manipulation parameter settings on the Barcode tab are applied to the incoming data resulting from successful bar code scans sent to the HX2 for processing. The successful bar code scan data may be sent by

•a wireless Bluetooth Handheld Scanner,

•or a tethered ring scanner.

After hot swapping HX2 ring scanners, the HX2 auto-detects the ring scanner type. The scanner/imager activates when the Scan button on the ring is pressed.

Important: The ring decoders are initialized during HX2 power up by the scanner wedge driver. Every time you scan the Reset to Factory Default bar code in the Ring Scanner Programming Guide, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner. After the scanner panel has opened, click OK to close the panel and the ring decoder is initialized.

Bar Code Readers

Your HX2 may have any of the following body worn bar code readers :

•Ring Imager, 4400

•Ring Scanner, 955

The HX2 can also use the following external bar code readers:

•Wireless hand-held Bluetooth scanners are configured by scanning the engine-specific bar codes in the scanner manufacturer's programming guide. The manufacturer's guides are usually shipped with the bar code reader.

•The body worn Bluetooth Ring Scanner module may be using a Symbol 4400 Ring Imager or a Symbol 955 Ring Scanner. The Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is configured by scanning the bar codes in the Bluetooth Ring Scanner Programming Guide.

Return to Factory Default Settings

Important: After scanning the engine-specific bar code to return the scanner/imager to factory default settings, the next step is to open the bar code wedge panel on the mobile device collecting the scanned data. Click the OK button to close the panel. This action will synchronize all scanner formats for your device.

Engine specific bar codes for ring decoders are contained in the Ring Scanner Programming Guide. They can be used to set or reset scan engine parameters by scanning a bar code, then saving the change. The HX2 will beep twice when a configuration bar code is scanned successfully.
