Description

LMSSCNEN.LIB only.

Saves the scanner configuration values

the application set in the UPCEANINFO data structure. See
“UPCEANINFO” in Chapter 5 for a description of this data
structure.

To configure the scanner, the application:

Enables the scanner with scnOpenScanner or
scnOpenScannerShared.

Calls scnGetUPCEANInfo.

Sets the values in the UPCEANINFO data structure.

Calls scnSetUPCEANInfo.

When the application disables the scanner,

the configuration values go back to the

defaults.

Syntax

short far scnSetUPCEANInfo(LPUPCEANINFO lprUPCEANInfo);

Parameters

lprUPCEANInfo

A pointer to a UPCEANINFO data structure.

Return Values

Successful.

-5

Invalid configuration value.

-9

The scanner is disabled.
