A 700 Color ImageDemo application demonstrates the more common fea-
tures of the 700 Color Computer imager. See the ImageDemo User's Guide
for information.
Note: "700 Color" pertains to 740, 741, 750, 751, 760, and 761 Com-
puters unless otherwise noted.
Note: To use the methods described below, enable Data Collection func-
tionality on the 700 Computer using the bootloader configuration menu.
The Data Server and associated software provide several ways to manipu-
late scanner control and data transfer between the scanner subsystem and
user applications:
S Automatic Data Collection COM Interfaces:
These COM interfaces allow user applications to receive bar code data,
and configure and control the bar code reader engine.
S ITCAxBarCodeReaderControl functions:
These ActiveX controls allow user applications to collect bar code data
from the scanner, to configure the scanner, and to configure audio and
visual notification when data arrives.
S ITCAxReaderCommand functions:
Use these ActiveX controls to modify and retrieve configuration infor-
mation using the reader interface commands.
S Scanning EasySet bar code labels:
You can use the EasySet
print configuration labels. Scan the labels to change the scanner configu-
ration and data transfer settings.
Use the Intermec EasySet software to print configuration labels you can
scan to change your configuration settings. For more information, see
the EasySet online help. EasySet is available from the Intermec Data
Capture web site.
For more information, see the Data Collection Resource Kit in the Inter-
mec Developer Library (IDL), which is available as a download from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. Contact your Intermec repre-
sentative for more information.
You can configure scanner and reader settings for the 700 Color Comput-
er via the Intermec Settings applet. From the 700 Color Computer, tap
Start > Settings > the System tab > the Intermec Settings icon. See the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N: 073529) for infor-
mation about the settings you can configure with this applet. This online
manual is available from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
