Input Functions - Intermec 5055 Reference Manual

Input Functions

Use the input functions to receive data or to retrieve the length or bar code symbology
of previous input. You can receive a file, a field, a buffer, or one or more characters
from the keyboard, scanner, or communications port.
For compatibility with JANUS devices, the PSK supports input mode functions. For
more information on input modes, see Chapter 4, "Converting Trakker Antares, 6400,
and JANUS Applications to 5055 Applications."
The PSK includes these input functions:
im_get_input_mode
im_get_label_symbology
im_get_label_symbologyid
im_get_length
im_input_status
Example: Setting Input Mode and Source
// This segment sets the 5055 in programmer mode to accept a string of
characters.
// The string is NOT sent until you press Enter, and you can use backspace to
// make a correction before pressing Enter.
//
#include "imstdio.h"
#include "im5055.h"
void main()
{
IM_UCHAR input [1024];
IM_STATUS status;
IM_USHORT source;
im_clear_screen();
im_set_input_mode(IM_PROGRAMMER);
printf("Scan or Type data.\nPress Enter to \nend line.\n");
/* Request input from label or keypad*/
source = IM_LABEL_SELECT | IM_KEYBOARD_SELECT;
status = im_receive_input(source, IM_INFINITE_TIMEOUT, &source, input);
}
// Results of call
// Input sources
