The Bar Code Reader has the following available four options:
Help
Begin Scan
Bar Code Setup
Exit
The Help option on the Bar Code Reader title bar opens a drop down
menu with an About option. Tapping on the About option accesses a
pop up screen showing the Bar Code Reader version number and
copyright.
The Begin Scan button enables the expansion pod to begin scanning
bar codes. It takes scanned data and enters it into an opened data
collection program on your Allegro. You do not need any other
program to read bar code data into your application.
The Bar Code Setup button opens the Bar Code Setup program. This
program contains selectable options to set up the scanner to operate
according to your needs.
The Exit button at the bottom of the program screen, or the X button in
the upper right corner of the screen, closes the Bar Code Reader
program.
To begin using your Allegro’s bar code expansion pod, follow the
instructions under the Getting Started, Bar Code Setup, and Begin Scan
headings of the Bar Code Expansion Pod section.
