Barcode Scanning XT2 User Manual
Janam Technologies LLC Version 3, April 2017 Barcode Scanning 9-6
Scan Wedge App
The Janam XT2 also comes preloaded with the Scan Wedge application. When active, Scan Wedge
runs in the background and can send scanned and decoded data directly into the currently active
foreground application. For example, with Scan Wedge active, the XT2 can be used to scan barcode
data directly into a Microsoft Word or Excel template, or any other app that accepts input data.
To activate Scan Wedge, go to Scan Settings and toggle the on/off switch to on. Under Basic you
can enable Auto Scan, set the Auto Scan Interval in intervals between 0.25 and 10 seconds, or
enable Continuous Scan. Under Wedge you can specify transmitting a barcode ID, an aim ID, as
well as a Prefix, a Suffix, and a Terminator. These can be used to add some formatting to the
scans, or bring them into a format suitable for subsequent processing. You can also toggle Transmit
Barcode ID on and off, and specify a Group Separator.

examples of using
Scan Wedge to scan
barcode data right
into a Word file and
an Excel file.
