Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer

Configuring the Scanner

The 751G comes with a 2D Imager that decodes several stacked 1D and 2D symbologies, including PDF417, Data Matrix, and MaxiCode without “painting.” It can also read 1D codes from any orientation. For example the scan beam does not need to align perpendicular to the symbol in order to read it. Photography is a secondary application; the lens in the device favors bar code reading. Photos are 640x480, 256 gray-scale.

An ImageDemo application is available to demonstrate imager features. See the ImageDemo User’s Guide (P/N 934-002-001) for more information.

Scanner Control and Data Transfer

The data server and associated software provide ways to handle scanner control, data transfer between the scanner subsystem and user applications:

•Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces:

These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data, and configure and control the bar code reader engine.

•ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl functions:

These ActiveX controls allow user applications to collect bar code data from the scanner, to configure the scanner, and to configure audio and visual notification when data arrives.

•ITCAxReaderCommand functions:

Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration information using the reader interface commands.

•Scanning EasySet bar code labels:

You can use the EasySet bar code creation software from Intermec Technologies Corporation to print configuration labels. Scan the labels to change the scanner configuration and data transfer settings.

Use the software to print scannable configuration labels to change your configuration settings. For more information, see the EasySet online help. EasySet is available from the Intermec Data Capture web site.

Data Collection Configuration

From the 751G, tap Start > Intermec Settings to configure scanner settings. See the Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual online manual for information about the settings you can configure with this applet. Note that these are in alphabetical order.
