Chapter 11 123Scan2

Introduction

123Scan² is an easy-to-use, PC-based software tool that enables rapid and easy customized setup of Motorola
scanners.
123Scan² uses a wizard tool to guide users through a streamlined set up process. Settings are saved in a
configuration file that can be distributed via e-mail, electronically downloaded via a USB cable, or used to generate
a sheet of scannable programming bar codes.
Additionally 123Scan² can upgrade digital scanner firmware, check online to enable support for newly released
products, generate a collection of multi-setting bar codes if the number of settings is very large, stage a large
number of digital scanners simultaneously, generate reports with asset tracking information and create custom
products.
