STEP 5 – INSTALL GENIUS CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
Genius is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages:
Wizard approach for new users;
Multi-language version;
Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;
Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider
the reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.
To install Genius, on the PC that will be used for configuration, (running Windows XP,
or 7), download the Genius mini-DVD .zip file. Extract the files to a local folder and
launch the Setup.exe file. Select Install Genius and follow the installation procedure.
This configuration procedure assumes scanner connection to a CBX100/500. Genius,
running on a laptop computer, is connected to the scanner auxiliary port through the
CBX100/500 9-pin connector. To communicate with the scanner, Genius performs an auto
baudrate detection starting from its default parameters which are 115200, 8, N, 1. These
parameters can also be set in the Genius Tools>Options>Communications window.
Wizard for Quick Reader Setup
After installing the Genius software program the following window appears asking the user to
choose the desired configuration level.

The Wizard option is advised for rapid configuration or for new users, since it shows a step-
by-step scanner configuration.
