Rev. 2.00

Low-Level API 

The basic mechanism for communicating with the installed Bar 
Code Driver is via the DOS multiplex interrupt (sometimes referred 
to as the TSR interrupt  - Int 2Fh).  All parameters are passed in 
registers to the interrupt and all registers that are not shown are 
undefined. Undefined registers vary by function. 

All API interrupts use register ax to pass the following: 
AH =  our ID value (default is BCD_ID, defined as 0CEh). 

AL =  requested service ID 

00 – install check 
01 – uninstall the driver, freed memory is returned to DOS 
02 – Set API option with string 
03 – Scan now 
04 – Query driver (future implementation) 
05 – Set and use external buffer 

06 – Internal (Compsee) use only 

Install Check 

Service 00 – Install Check 

Input: 

ah = BCD_ID 

al = 00 

Returns: 

ah = BCD_ID 
al = 0FFh if installed

 

Notes: 

This function simply returns the al set to 0FFh and is used 
to determine if the driver is installed.  There is no 
mechanism supplied to install the driver from an 
application.  Do NOT attempt this!  The driver must be 
installed from the DOS command line or a batch file such 
as 

[autoexec.bat]

.

 

Uninstall 

Service 01 – Uninstall 

Input: 

ah = BCD_ID 
al = 01 

Returns: 

none

 

Notes: 

Under DOS, a TSR can only be uninstalled from the 
command line and can only be uninstalled if it is the last 
TSR installed (DOS limitations).  If possible, this function 
will uninstall the driver.  See 

CAUTION

 and additional 

notes on next page.
