The scanner symbologies can be updated through Enterprise data collection software.
Serial Scanners
To configure a particular scanner to work with Enterprise data collection software,
select
Scanner > Tethered Scanner (COM1) or (COM2) > Scanner Settings.
Select the appropriate scanner model (SR Intermec Scanner, ASCII, SR60). By default,
both COM1 and COM2 are opened so the appropriate scanners (see below) can work
without changing factory defaults:
Tethered Scanner (COM1)
By default the Scanner Model is set to SR Intermec Scanner, which covers models such
as SR61T, SR30, and SR31. This COM port's settings are designed to work with legacy
Intermec scanners.
Tethered Scanner (COM2)
By default the Scanner Model is set to ASCII to connect with a scanner with baud rate of
9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stopbit, and no flow control. This COM port's settings are
designed to work with most legacy Honeywell and LXE scanners.
USB Scanners
By default, when a HID enabled USB scanner is connected to the Thor VM3, the
scanned data is transmitted to the active windows as keystroke messages. Any data
handling to be applied to the scanned data, for example to strip leading or trailing char-
acters, must be programmed into the scan engine. This is done by scanning configura-
tion bar codes from the scanner manufacturer or handled by the application accepting
the data.
For the Thor VM3 the USB Intermec SR61T and SR31 may be setup to be configurable
through Enterprise Settings. This can be done by setting Enable USB Scanner Auto-
detect to On under the Data collection menu. If the USB scanner is already attached,
you must detach and then re attach it after USB Scanner Auto-detect is enabled in order
for it to be recognized by Enterprise Settings. Refresh the Enterprise Settings screen to
see the connected USB scanner.
Bluetooth Scanners
See
Always use Enterprise Settings to configure Bluetooth parameters. Do not use the Blue-
tooth configuration options available from the Bluetooth icon in the system tray.
