Chapter 4: Field Settings

After a session is created, fields within that session may also require configuration. Before configuration, all available fields within the session are in a default state.

Customizing your session settings and field settings is not required, as the default settings will work perfectly for many users. However, to fully realize the power of AccuScan Palm, some of these settings may need modification for your specific needs. Proper field configuration may speed up data acquisition and may prevent data input errors, again, depending on your collection requirements.

In this chapter, you will learn how to set up fields for your specific application. Section 4.2 explains the various AccuScan Palm field settings in more detail.
