2-14 Configuring the 2325
2325 Reference Guide Revision B 2325A137REFGD
Configuring the 2325
If your unit is not already configured for use when you get it, you can
use the Configuration Utility to install applications and set options for
barcode scanning. The Configuration Utility operates under Windows
3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT. The Configuration Utility runs
XFER automatically. For instructions on using the utility, see Chapter 4
“Configuration Utility.”
You can also use XFER at the DOS prompt or commercially available
communications and file transfer software. See Chapter 5 “Using
XFER.”
You can also scan barcodes with the 2325 to change 2325 configuration
settings. Appendix C “Configuration Barcodes” has barcodes for many
common settings.
Troubleshooting - Enable I 2 of 5
Problem
The 2325 configuration does not retain "Enable I 2 of 5" after power
down. Note that this is an isolated incident and that the default 2325 with
scanner configuration automatically enables Code 39, I 2 of 5,
Codabar/Ames, Code 128, UPC-A and EAN/JAN.
Solution
Create a file containing the actual character string of the barcode used to
set that particular parameter. The character strings are printed under the
barcode in Appendix C – do not add the asterisks to the character string.
Any number of setup strings can be used, one per line in the file used.
After the file is created, copy the contents to the device PARAMS when
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is loaded.
For example, the setup string to enable I 2 of 5 is $+$-151EE.
1. Create an ASCII file – CUSTPARM.TXT – that contains the
following line:
$+$-151EE
2. Place the following line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and the
command will be run each time the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is run:
COPY CUSTPARM.TXT PARAMS
