Otherwise, key is ignored (not output). 13. If key output is disabled, a windows message is broadcast to notify listening applications that data is available. The manipulated data is ready to be read by applications. E-EQ-MX8WMRG-C [ 96 ] MX8WM Reference Guide...
Page 108: Main Tab
The Data Collection Wedge supports up to three concurrent data collection devices. For example, the internal scanner could be used to collect data at the same time a Bluetooth scanner is paired and/or a serial device is attached to COM1 (the MX8WM must be in a desktop cradle to use a tethered scanner).
Page 109: Continuous Scan Mode
Start | Settings | System | Data Collection | Main Continuous scan mode is only available if the MX8WM is equipped with a Symbol scanner. Continuous scan mode draws power from the main battery every time a scan read/decode sequence is performed.
Page 110: Com1 Tab
Integrated laser scanner default values are 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and No parity. If these values are changed, the default values are restored after a cold boot or reflashing. Note: COM1 does not support 5V switchable power on Pin 9 for tethered scanners. E-EQ-MX8WMRG-C [ 99 ] MX8WM Reference Guide...

MX8WM with any other imager/scanner Data Options Tab Note: The HHP Properties button is only present if the MX8WM is equipped with an HHP imager. Choose an option in the Enable Code ID drop-down box: None, AIM, Symbol, HHP or Custom.

HHP ID symbologies for that platform, plus any custom Code IDs. Does not change the scanner’s Code ID transmission setting. The combo box in the Symbology panel is loaded Custom with any configured Custom Code IDs. E-EQ-MX8WMRG-C [ 103 ] MX8WM Reference Guide...
Page 115: Buttons
This allows custom IDs, based on actual code IDs, to be processed before the Code ID. The external scanner operation cannot be controlled by the MX8WM scanner driver; therefore, a ‘good’ beep may be sounded from the external scanner even if a barcode from an external scanner is rejected because of the configuration specified.
Page 116: Symbology Settings
If Clear is pressed when All is selected as the symbology, a confirmation dialog appears. Click the Yes button and all symbologies are reset to their factory defaults, and all star (*) indications are removed from the list of Symbologies. E-EQ-MX8WMRG-C [ 105 ] MX8WM Reference Guide...

Wireless Network Configuration Introduction The MX8WM has a wireless client that can be configured for no encryption, WEP encryption or WPA security, no authentication and all authentications listed below. The Summit client device is either an 802.11g radio, capable of both 802.11b and 802.11g data rates or an 802.11a radio, capable of 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g data rates.
