Getting Started
Note: You specify the symbology of the simulated bar code label with the
label_symbology parameter in the INI file.
By default, the key sequence is Ctrl–G. You can change the key sequence by
editing the sim_wand_key parameter. The key sequence consists of one or
more control keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) and a character key (A to Z). Here are
sample key sequences:
• Alt–L
• Alt–Shift–B
• Ctrl–Shift–C
• Ctrl–Alt–Shift–W
Note: The INI file displays a slash in the key sequence (Ctrl/G) instead of a hyphen.
By convention, this manual uses a hyphen to indicate that you must press multiple
keys simultaneously.
To simulate bar code input with an Intermec Wedge
You can also simulate bar code input by attaching an Intermec Wedge to
your PC. After you set the first preamble characters to match the
sim_wand_key value, you can use the wedge to enter bar code data into the
JANUS application. The bar code input is terminated when you scan Enter
or have a Return in the postamble.
See your wedge documentation for help setting the preamble. To decide
how to scan the sim_wand_key value as the data for the preamble, consider
this example:
Your sim_wand_key is Ctrl–G, so you must set the preamble to Ctrl–G.
Because the wedge is in Set Preamble mode, you cannot scan the BEL
character, even though it represents Ctrl–G in the full ASCII chart.
Instead, you must consult the PC/Workstation Keyboard Mapping table to
learn which characters to scan for Ctrl and G. You learn that you must scan
the SO character for Ctrl and the lowercase g character for G. (If you scan
SO and uppercase G, the preamble is set to Ctrl–Shift–G.)
