USING SMARTWEDGE BASIC

INTRODUCTION

SmartWedge Basic is an application for Windows XP which allows scanned data to be directly entered into another
Application as though it had been typed on the keyboard. The data is inserted at the cursor of whichever window
has focus. This allows the Handscanner to be immediately used in existing systems with no software development.
The Handscanner can be configured (see "Configurable features" on page 10) to provide a certain set of
actions on button press so that the correct data is read and prefixed ready for use by the existing software. A more
advanced version of the SmartWedge software is available from Technology Solutions which includes additional
functionality such as data filtering and formatting.

INSTALLATION

SmartWedge Basic for the PC is provided in a standard Windows Installer (.msi) package. Double click to install the
application.

OPERATION

Start SmartWedge from 'Start > All Programs > Technology Solutions > SmartWedge Basic'. When the application
starts it shows the configuration window as below:
Before using SmartWedge Basic the Handscanner must be associated with a virtual comm. port (see "Setting up
the Bluetooth connection" on page 36). Select the appropriate port number from the 'COM Port selector', ensure
®
the Handscanner is powered on and tap the 'Connect' button. If the correct virtual comm. port is not shown in the
'COM Port selector' then it is possible to directly type in the port number.
