Scanner Configuration Utility (SCU35.EXE)
This utility allows programming multiple scanners with the same data. It copies barcode setup
parameters from one barcode scanner and places them in a file. The file can then be sent to
another barcode scanner, and when the receiving unit reboots, the receiving unit’s initial scanner
configuration is replaced with the new configuration. This utility is used for MX1’s with a scanner
endcap and the RS-232/Scanner endcap.
This command is run at the DOS prompt.
The file can be sent to another MX1 using the MX1’s IR ports. The file can be transferred from
one MX1 to another on an SRAM card. Or, the file can be transferred to a PC with a data transfer
communication program installed and a commercially available null modem cable attached to a
serial port. The cable must have a connector compatible with the MX1’s RS-232 endcap’s DB9
female connector (micro D style 9 pin for the RS-232/scanner endcap) and the calling PC.
The MX1 is set up with data transfer communication parameters of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and No parity when the SCU35.EXE utility runs on the MX1.
Menu Options
1. Parameter Request
Select this option to collect barcode configuration data from a barcode scanner.
The data is stored in a file on the calling PC. Give the file an 8-character name, using
standard DOS naming conventions, e.g. yourfile. No extension is necessary. Press
<Enter>.
The scanner configuration file is given an extension of .SCN. The file can be copied to
another directory or PC or renamed after it’s creation.
2. Parameter Send
Select this option to send barcode configuration data to a barcode scanner.
When “Open File” appears on the screen, type the name of e.g. yourfile and press
<Enter>. The receiving MX1 reboots when the scanner configuration file has finished
transferring.
3. Exit
Select this option to exit the scanner configuration utility.
