Verify barcode size
—verifies the bar code size. This rule should generally be assigned
first, before creating subsequent rules.
Translation information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file
(see “Scan Log File” on page 154) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are
trying to determine why a rule is failing.
5.12.4 Ports Tab
Figure 5.5 Console and Port Replicator Port Settings
While you cannot configure the scanner, you can configure communications with a serial
decoded scanner using the options in this tab.
Use these settings to ensure that the communication ports on Omnii match the settings of the
serial devices to which they are connected. If the settings do not match exactly, the devices
may not function. Note that some devices can auto-detect serial port settings (such as baud
rate), and in this case Omnii will dictate the settings. Baud rates often have a direct impact
on performance—they should be set as high as possible while still ensuring reliable
communication.
5.12.4.1 Port Replicator Port A (COM5) and Port B (COM6)
Port Replicator Port A (COM5) and Port B (COM6) are standard RS-232 DE-9 DTE ports
on the Omnii port replicator module, available on certain cradle types.
Note: Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into account
when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the bar code size is important, it
should be checked before any rules that might change the size are applied.
