Adjust the settings and tap the OK box to save the changes. The changes take effect immediately.
If “Power Port 1 while asleep” is checked, whichever serial port is enabled as Port 1 will remain
powered while the device is in Suspend, at the cost of reduced battery life. This allows a tethered
scanner to wake the device by pressing the trigger on the scanner.
If “Send Key Messages …” is checked any data scan is converted to keystrokes and sent to the
active window. When this box is not checked, the application will need to use the set of LXE
Scanner APIs to retrieve the data from the scanner driver. Note that this latter method is
significantly faster than using “Wedge”. Even if Send Key Messages is enabled (“key mode”), the
data is still available using the scanner APIs (“block mode”).
The Scan buttons have no effect on tethered external scanners connected to the RS-232 connector
on the endcap.
