Main

The Data Collection Wedge supports up to three concurrent data collection devices. For example, the internal scanner could be used to collect data at the same time a Bluetooth scanner is paired and/or a serial device is attached to COM1. The MX7 Tecton must be in a desktop cradle to use a tethered scanner.

Device 1 – Internal. Radio button allows scanner input/output on Device 1 (scan key or trigger).

Device 2 – Output is enabled when COM1 is enabled on this port.

Device 3 – Output is enabled when COM1 is enabled on this port.

Note: Since Internal is the default setting for Device 2, a Bluetooth scanner can be paired with the Wedge using EZ Pair (or LXEZ Pairing) on Device 1 without disabling the internal scanner.

Output – When Output is enabled, data is received from the scanner and processed via the wedge but an application can also open the WDG0: device and write data to it. An example is when a printer is connected to the same COM port as the scanner via a switch. Data can be written to the WDG device and is redirected to the associated COM port. The application must open the WDG0: port, not the COMx: port as the Wedge has exclusive rights to the COM port. If Output is not enabled, the WDG0: port can still be opened, but any attempts to write to that port fail.

Adjust the settings and tap ok to save the changes. The changes take effect immediately.
