Introduction

Access:
Set scanner keyboard wedge parameters, enable or disable symbologies from being scanned,
scanner icon appearance, active scanner port, and scan key settings. Assign baud rate, parity, stop
bits and data bits for available COM ports. Scanner parameters apply to the MX8 integrated
scanner/imager only. Barcode manipulation parameters apply to barcodes scanned by the MX8
integrated scanner/imager engine.
Scanner configuration can be changed using the Scanner Control Panel or via the LXE API
functions. While the changed configuration is being read, the Scanner LED is solid amber. The
scanner is not operational during the configuration update.
Integrated Scanner Programming Guide and the factory defaults barcodes. After scanning the
scanner-engine-specific barcode to reset all scanner parameters to factory default settings (i.e.
