Entering Data via the Bar Code Scanner
The sample bar code scanner application scans data into data fields in the same way data is entered via the
keypad.
Resetting the MC21XX
If the MC21XX stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A
warm boot restarts the MC21XX by closing all running programs. All data that is not saved is lost.
A cold boot also restarts the MC21XX, but erases all stored records and entries from RAM. In addition it
returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.
Perform a warm boot first. If the MC21XX still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
To perform a warm boot:
1.
Press the Power button for five seconds.
2.
The MC21XX reboots.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot restarts the MC21XX and erases all user stored records and entries from RAM. Never perform a
cold boot unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.
NOTE MC2180 only.
CAUTION Files that remain open during a warm boot may not be retained.
