Scanner Wedge Introduction

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner

Set MX7 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 MX7 for processing. The successful bar code scan data may be sent by

•an integrated scanner in the endcap,

•a wireless Bluetooth hand held scanner,

•or a tethered scanner.

Integrated scanner configuration can be changed using the Scanner Control Panel or via API functions. While the changed configuration is being stored, the Scanner LED is solid amber. The scanner is not operational during the configuration update.

Note: The integrated scan engine activates when a Scan button on the front of the MX7 is pressed or when the trigger on an installed trigger handle is pressed.

When using any bar code reader to scan the Reset All (or equivalent) bar code (available in the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide) with the MX7 integrated scan engine, the next step is to open the Scanner Control Panel, click the OK button and then close it. This action will synchronize all scanner formats.

Note: Base Laser Scanner, 955E does not support aim mode. Any attempt to adjust the aiming beam using SE955 programming bar codes will fail. The Low Power scanner does not decode Codablock, Code93i or Telepen symbologies.
