Visual Menu 2003 - Honeywell 5010 User Manual

Visual Menu 2003

Visual Menu 2003 provides the ability to configure an imaging device by
connecting the imager to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu 2003 allows you to
download updates to a imager's firmware, change programmed parameters, and
create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Menu 2003, you can even
set up the configuration for a imager which is not attached to your PC. This
enables one expert user to establish the configuration settings for all the devices
your company uses, then save these configuration files for others. A
configuration file can be e-mailed or, if you prefer, an expert user can create a
bar code (or series of bar codes) which contains all the customized programming
parameters, and mail or fax the bar code(s) to any location. Users in other
locations can scan the bar code(s) to load in the customized parameters.
To communicate with an imager, Visual Menu 2003 requires that the PC have at
least one available serial communication port and an RS-232 cable to connect
the port to the device. A power supply, which plugs into the cable, is also
required.
Note: If you already have a copy of Visual Menu, please note that older versions
of Visual Menu will not work with the OEM Engine. You must use Visual
Menu 2003 with the OEM Engine.
Visual Menu 2003 Operations
The Visual Menu 2003 program performs the following operations:
• Displays all configuration data, and saves the information to a file on
your PC.
• Configures the device to meet your specific requirements. Visual
Menu 2003 has all the programming parameters which are available
via programming bar codes in this User's Guide.
• Creates and prints a clone bar code that contains the program and
configuration data from one device. This bar code can then be used
to program additional devices with the same parameters.
• Selects a device from a list, then performs offline or online file
configuration for that device.
Temporary Visual Menu 2003 Configuration
For quick download communication configuration, scan the Visual Menu 2003
bar code to temporarily configure the imager for Visual Menu 2003 settings.
