Different Ways to Configure the JANUS 2050

You can configure the JANUS 2050 in several ways:
Using the Configuration Application The configuration application program is
run on the JANUS 2050. The menus and dialog boxes list all of the
configuration options available on the JANUS 2050 and indicate what
parameters are currently enabled. You can create various configuration files for
different situations and load the necessary configuration file for each
application.
Editing a Configuration File Using the Host Computer The configuration
application uses the configuration files to display the current configuration.
You can edit a configuration file without using the configuration application
program by uploading the file to the host computer.
On the host computer, you can edit the file or create new configuration files.
When you download the file to the JANUS 2050, you make the file the active
configuration by loading it in the configuration application program and
making it the online configuration. When the JANUS 2050 boots, the
configuration file (JANUS.INI) is used to set the initial configuration. If the
configuration file does not exist, the JANUS 2050 is set to the default
configuration.
Scanning Bar Code Labels You can scan bar code labels to quickly change the
JANUS 2050's configuration. You can scan the bar code labels listed in this
manual if you just want to change one or two configuration settings, or you can
create your own bar code labels to configure a large number of JANUS 2050s.
Using IRL Z Commands Z commands are included in IRL programs to modify
the JANUS 2050's configuration for that specific program. You can
automatically configure the JANUS 2050 each time an IRL program is executed
by including Z commands in the program statements. This feature is useful if
the JANUS 2050 needs to be configured a certain way when running the IRL
program.
Through a User Application You can also configure the JANUS 2050 by sending
a configuration command string down from a host computer when the JANUS
2050 is running a user application. This method is similar to configuring from
an IRL program. The JANUS 2050 must be running a user application that
accepts the configuration commands. You can configure the JANUS 2050 by
sending configuration command strings when using the IRL Desktop, or an
application that specifically uses the Reader Services input manager. You
cannot configure the JANUS 2050 by sending configuration command strings
when the JANUS 2050 is at the DOS prompt.
Note: The configuration commands are listed alphabetically in Chapter 10,
"Configuration Commands." This reference includes a description of the purpose,
options, and command syntax for each command.
