Useful Application Program
BarSetup
When it is necessary for the user to change the default barcode symbology for a
different application,
BarSetup
provides the ability to change default symbology,
place delimiter characters behind scanned data, and save the settings.
Run this program from
\Windows\BarSetup.exe
and two buttons will be
displayed: “
Barcode Symbologies
” and “
Delimiter
”.
Bar2Key
The PT930SA’s built-in scanner is connected to the COM3 port. Applications
written for the PT930SA should therefore call Unitech’s scanner DLL library
(please refer to the PT930SA SDK/Programming Manual for detailed functions of
the DLL library). Sometimes, however, it is not easy for the user to get scanned
data into the user’s application program, especially if the application has been
provided by a 3
rd
party and user modification of the source program is not allowed.
In this situation use Bar2Key.exe.
“
Bar2Key.exe
” is a useful tool for users to get scanned data into any application
program. While it is running, all scanned data will be routed to a standard key-
board input buffer. In other words, scanned data will be treated as keyboard input.
Thus, any application program can receive scanned data as if it were input by the
keyboard.
Locate “Bar2Key.EXE” in the \Windows folder. After
executing it, a Barcode icon will appear on the taskbar.
Then press the scanner trigger key to scan the barcode
label.
In order to exit Bar2Key.exe, double tap the Barcode icon
on the taskbar and then tap the Exit button.
For detailed barcode symbology settings, please refer to
the next section.
