S Select 1551/1553 to enable the Sabre 1551E or 1553 Tethered Scanner
to scan, then send data as keyboard data. The 1551/1553 Tethered
Scanner has software onboard that translates scanned data into charac-
ters, so the running/active application does not need to know how to do
that. All the scanner control and data transfer APIs will work with the
1551/1553 Tethered Scanner, so you can control the device.
S Select Disable All to disable this feature and use the COM1 port for
another application, such as ActiveSync. An error message will result if
this option were not selected, but this action was attempted. Similarly, if
ActiveSync is using the COM1 port, and you select Comm Port Wedge
or 1551/1553, an error message will result. See "Error Message" on page
257 for more information.
Tap Change Comm Settings to configure the settings for the COM1
port. Current settings are restored after a warm-boot, but are lost after a
cold-boot. When these settings have not been changed, the OK button is
disabled (grayed out). When changes are made, tap OK after it is enabled
to accept these changes.
