SSelect 1551/1553 to enable the Sabre 1551E or 1553 Tethered Scanner
to scan, then send data as keyboard data. The 1551/1553 Tethered
Scanner has software onboard that translates scanned data into charac-
ters, so the running/active applicationdoes not need to know how to do
that. All the scanner control and data transfer APIs will wor k with the
1551/1553 Tethered Scanner, so you can control the device.
SSelect Disable All to disable this feature and use the COM1 port for
another application, such as ActiveSync. An error message will result if
this option were not selected, but this action was attempted. Similarly, if
ActiveSync is using the COM1 port, and you selectComm PortWedge
or 1551/1553, an error messagewill result. See “Error Message”for
more information.
