Visual Menu 2003
Visual Menu 2003 Introduction
Visual Menu 2003 provides the ability to configure a Hand Held Products
scanning device by connecting the scanner to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu
2003 allows you to download updates to a scanner'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 scanner 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) that 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 IT2020-5A, 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 IT2020-5A,
is also required.
Note: IT5620/IT2020-5A works only with Visual Menu 2003 version 4.2 or later.
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 which 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.
