Chapter 12 123Scan2
Introduction
123Scan² is an easy to use, PC-based software tool that enables rapid customized setup of scanners by Motorola.
123Scan² uses a wizard tool to guide users through a streamlined set up process. Settings are saved in a
configuration file that can be distributed via e-mail, electronically downloaded via a USB cable, or used to generate
a sheet of scannable programming bar codes.
Additionally 123Scan² can upgrade scanner firmware, check online to enable support for newly released products,
generate a collection of multi-setting bar codes if the number of settings is very large, stage large number of
scanners simultaneously, generate reports with asset tracking information and create custom products.
Communication with 123Scan
2
To communicate with the123Scan² program which runs on a host computer running a Windows XP SP2 or
Windows Vista operating system, use a USB cable to connect the digital scanner to the host computer (see
Connecting an RS-232 Interface on page 7-2).
NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless
communication.
The scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the
scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high
beep sequence sounds.
