Scanning Existing Barcode Data 

Use

This procedure explains how to get existing barcode data to either a wedge window or an application's listener. Depending on the scanner's settings, the scanning may result successful or in a scanning error. An emulated scanning error emulates an error that happens at the hardware level.

All scanning actions are recorded under scan history. Each history record contains either the scanned data or an error message for the failure.

 

Prerequisites

·        The scanner peripheral panel is displayed.

·        Some barcode data has been created

·        Client application has run properly to arm the scanner.

 

Procedure

...

       1.      Select a data from the Data list

       2.      Select a barcode from the Barcode list

       3.      Press either the  button for a normal scan or the  button for an emulated error scan.

 

Result

The scanning result is recorded under Scan History.

 

The formatted result is sent to either wedge window or client application for processing. Formatted results are those that have been processed; for instance, the preamble and postamble have been added to the barcode data.
