USER'S GUIDE
PREPARING FOR BAR CODE READING
To read bar codes, and not text, it suffices to select the reading mode "Bar
Codes" in the IRISPen application window. Evidently, no language selection or
other text-oriented settings apply to bar codes.
The selection of the reading mode is confirmed by the IRISPen status win-
dow.
That’s all it takes, you are now ready to scan bar codes! Contrary to most bar
code readers, you do not have to indicate which bar code symbology you are
going to read. The IRISPen Executive software detects fully automatically if you
are reading Code 39, Codabar or Interleaved 2 of 5 etc. type bar codes. As far as
the user is concerned, the symbology is transparent; various bar code types can
be mixed without any consequence.
FINE-TUNING THE OPERATION
Nevertheless, the IRISPen Executive software allows you to fine-tune the
operation of the bar code reading. The user has full control over the used sym-
bologies, should he desire it.
Click on the "Bar Codes" button on the toolbar to define the bar code settings.
