JANUS Features That Are Simulated

The Simulator TSR can reproduce these JANUS features:

• Text display

• Bar code input

• Power management
• Communications input and output
For more information, read the following sections.
Text Display
If the application calls the im_set_input_mode function to select the
programmer input mode, the Simulator TSR limits character echoing to the
lines and columns based on the display size you specified by calling the
im_set_display_mode function or by setting the display_size_mode
parameter in the INI file.
The Simulator TSR has no control of the application's output; however, the
JANUS reader wraps output in some display modes. See your JANUS
documentation for details.
Note: All human factors and usability analysis of your JANUS applications should
be performed on a JANUS reader, not with the Simulator TSR.
Bar Code Input
You can simulate bar code input using either of these two methods:
• By pressing a special key sequence that lets you type "bar code" data.
• By configuring an Intermec Wedge and wanding actual bar code labels.
These methods are described in the following paragraphs.
To simulate bar code input with a keyboard
You can simulate bar code input by pressing the key sequence specified by
the sim_wand_key in the INI file. After you press the key sequence, the
Simulator TSR captures all keyboard input and presents it to the JANUS
application as if it were bar code input from a wand. The simulated bar
code input is terminated when you press Enter.
