3.5 - HID Tips & Tricks with the SP2100
As you probably saw on the YouTube video or from our web site, the SP2100 has some built-in features that make its use
very convenient. Note that the HID features vary somewhat by operating system, (
See
Section 4.1
and
figure 3.14
for OS
differences)
below are the major SP2100 HID features:
●
Pop-Up the soft keypad
by pressing the SP2100’s Bottom Side Button for 1-3 seconds then release to show the
device’s soft keypad.
●
Mixed-Mode Data Entry
- Once you have the device keypad up, you can scan barcodes and use the SP2100 at the
same time (iOS only).
●
Don’t forget that when the SP2100 is in “Power Saver”
mode, you’ll need to press the Scan Button twice to scan;
once to bring the SP2100 to Full Power Mode, then once again to activate the imager.
●
By Default, the SP2100 is set to “Send and Store”
- The SP2100 lets you pick what you’re going to do with the
scanned barcode data. You have the option to store, send and store or send only. See
Section 4.1
for detailed
information on memory storage modes.
●
Use Your SP2100 without your PC, Tablet of Phone
- You don’t need to be connected to a host to scan barcodes -
you can scan them into memory, then download them to your device later. See
Section 3.6
and
Section 3.7
for detailed
instructions..
●
Read Barcodes From your Computer or Mobile Device Screen
- Because it’s a 2D imager, the SP2100 allows
you to read barcodes directly from a computer or mobile device screen. There are some rules to keep in mind if
you’re going to do this regularly.
See Section XXX.XX for detailed information.
●
Change the “terminator”
- By default, the SP2100 sends a “Carriage Return” at the end of the barcode(
ASCII
Chr(13)
), but you can set it to just about anything you’d like. See
Section 5.0
for instructions.
