e-Genius Basics
e-Genius Menu Tree
The functions that you can select are displayed in a menu tree on the left–hand
side of the reader/controller e-Genius. The function list is organized much like
the hierarchy of a file system, where you can expand items that are preceded by
a box ( ) to further sub–levels until you find a function of interest.
Sub–levels appear indented below the items from which they are expanded.
Clicking the box again will collapse that branch of the menu. You can expand no
further when an item is not preceded by a box.
The reader/controller e-Genius menu tree appears with no items expanded.
Click the folders to display the active window for the setup function and/or
expand the folders to view any additional setup features.
Entering Text Using the Text Entry Tool
In cases where text needs to be entered to create message headers, trailer, cus-
tom messages, or for other reasons, the Text Entry Tool pencil icon “ ” will be
displayed.
Click
to open the Text Entry Tool.
You can enter text in the text field by typing, or click on the character buttons to
create your message. Select the Extended Characters check box to reveal a new
set of control characters.
Click Submit to save your text to the origin window text field, or click Cancel to
return to original window without transferring text.
The text Entry Tool is needed to enter unprintable/untypable characters. For example,
<CR> is a single character presented as a string for easier reading. The character must
be entered with the text entry tool, if typed normally it will be recognized as a string
and not as a single character.
