Creating Wallpaper
A typical wallpaper might consist of a background image, for instance a company logo,
with “Please Wait…” or a similar message in the center of the image and a one
character high row at the bottom of the display containing text labels for the 4 switches
(if the switch option was ordered). This is a single homogeneous GIF image created
using a suitable image editing program that allows text to be embedded into an image*.
A shareware image–editing program “ImageMagick” is included on the SDK CD–ROM.
Programs such as PC Paint, Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw will do this easily if you
are more familiar with them.
 Remember, any image you create must be in 320x240 pixel, non–interlaced GIF89a format

Using Wallpaper
Once the wallpaper image has been created, copy it to the \pos\graphics subdirectory on
the server (assuming \pos is the share directory). The preferred method of loading the
wallpaper image into ScanVue5
®
is to include a line in the [Display] section of the
ScanVue.ini file MsgChecking = /graphics/wallpaper.gif where wallpaper.gif is your
wallpaper image file name. The wallpaper image will be downloaded into ScanVue5
®
the first time the scanner is used. An alternative way of loading the wallpaper is to enter
the filename and path into the MsgChecking row in the UnitConfig program.
