Operating Your Scanner
2.2 Ngenuity Operator Utility
The Ngenuity Operator Utility (NOU) is a Windows-
based application that communicates with the
scanner to provide and monitor scanner connectivity,
statuses and alerts, and allows Operators to set some
of the scanner’s configuration parameters.
An Ngenuity scanner must be properly connected to
the host PC the NOU resides on and powered ON for
the NOU’s controls to be accessible and functioning.
To establish communication between the scanner and the NOU, perform the following:
1. Properly connect the USB cable to the back of the scanner (see 1.4.2. Scanner Back, “
USB
Connector” on page 11) and to the host PC
N
OTE
If using the optional SCSI connection, go to ”4.2 SCSI Connection” on page 53 in this manual for
more information.
2. Power ON the scanner (see 1.4.2 Scanner Back, “Power Switch” on page 11) and wait to the
scanner’s initialization sequence to complete
3. Boot up the host PC
4. Launch the NOU by double clicking the icon located on the host PC’s Desktop (for
instructions on installing the scanner - including the NOU - refer to the Ngenuity Quick Install
Guide (S008842). A hard copy of the Ngenuity Quick Install Guide is included with the scan-
ner, and an electronic copy exists on the scanner’s installation CD. If you are unable to
retrieve an Ngenuity Quick Install Guide from these sources, one can be downloaded from
www.bbhscanners.com
)
The NOU will run through an initialization sequence that includes a number of self tests.
When communication with the scanner is established, the scanner and connection type will be
displayed on the Home screen of the NOU (see ”2.2.2.1
Scanner Model” on page 34)
