CHAPTER 6 123SCAN2
Introduction
123Scan² is an easy-to-use, PC-based software tool that enables the quick and easy setup of Motorola
scanners.
123Scan² uses a wizard tool to guide users through a streamlined set up process. Once parameters are set,
the values are saved to a configuration file that can be distributed via e-mail, electronically downloaded via a
USB cable, or used to generate a sheet of programming bar codes that can be scanned. 123Scan² can
generate multiple reports that can be easily rebranded using Microsoft Word or Access. Report options include
programmed parameters, asset tracking information and proof of scanner output.
Additionally, 123Scan² can display scanned bar code data including non-printable characters. It can display,
optimize and save pictures from an imaging scanner. It can also upgrade scanner firmware, automatically
check online to enable support for newly released products, generate a single 2D bar code for one scan
programming and stage large numbers of scanners simultaneously via USB hub(s).
