reads most barcode labels.
Users should keep laser window clean to prevent low reading rate of distorted bar code input signal.
1.9 Application Development Environment
The system of PT630D provides DOS functions and device drivers for application development, including
bar code decoding, keypad input, display output, serial input/output communication, real-time-clock access
and power management control.
PT630D can be programmed by the high-level Windows-based JobGen Plus program generation software
or programmed by commonly used C compilers including Microsoft C, Borland C and Turbo C. An
executable program generated by JobGen Plus or created by a compiler is downloaded to the unit and run
on the unit.
