Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scanner
Set VX3Plus scanner keyboard wedge parameters, enable or disable allowed symbologies, scanner icon appearance, active
scanner port, and scan key settings.
Assign baud rate, parity, stop bits and data bits for available COM ports.
Parameters on the Main tab and the COM tab(s) apply to this device only.
Barcode manipulation parameter settings on the Barcode tab are applied to the incoming data resulting from successful
barcode scans sent to the VX3Plus for processing. The successful barcode scan data may be sent by
l
a wireless Bluetooth Handheld Scanner,
l
or a tethered scanner.
Bar Code Readers
The VX3Plus can use the following external bar code readers:
l
Tethered hand-held scanners are tethered to a serial port on the VX3Plus and are configured by scanning the engine-
specific bar codes in the scanner manufacturer's programming guide. The manufacturer's guides are usually shipped
with the bar code reader.
l
Wireless hand-held Bluetooth scanners are configured by scanning the engine-specific bar codes in the scanner
manufacturer's programming guide. The manufacturer's guides are usually shipped with the bar code reader.
l
The body worn Bluetooth Ring Scanner module may be using a Symbol 4400 Ring Imager or a Symbol 955 Ring
Scanner. The BTRS module is configured by scanning the bar codes in the
Bluetooth Ring Scanner Module .
Return to Factory Default Settings
Important : After scanning the engine-specific bar code to return the scanner/imager to factory default settings, the next step is
to open the bar code wedge panel on the mobile device collecting the scanned data. Click the OK button to close the panel.
This action will synchronize all scanner formats for your device.
Barcode Processing Overview
Barcode processing involves several steps. Some steps may be skipped during the processing depending on user selections
on the Scanner control panels. The steps are presented below in the order they are performed on the barcode data.
1. Scanned barcode is tested for a code ID and matching length (Min/Max). If it matches, it is processed per the rules in
place for that symbology. If the scan does not meet the criteria for that symbology, it is processed based on the settings
for All. If a code ID is not found, the barcode data is processed based on the settings for All.
2. If symbology is disabled , the scan is rejected.
3. Strip leading data bytes unconditionally.
4. Strip trailing data bytes unconditionally.
5. Parse for, and strip if found, Barcode Data strings.
6. Replace any control characters with string, as configured.
7. Add prefix string to output buffer.
8. If Code ID is not stripped, add saved code ID from above to output buffer.
