Data Entry
Note: The 2325 will not run Microsoft Windows products i.e.
Windows 3.1, Windows For Workgroups, Windows 95,
Windows NT, etcetera.
The LXE 2325 computer accepts data entry from the keyboard, barcode
scanner and the RS-232 input port when an LXE terminal emulation
(TE) program is running and on batch (non-TE) units.
Keyboard Data Entry
Once the terminal emulation program is started, data can be entered with
the 2325 keypad. Keyed data can be entered into a data field and
transmitted to the host. You might respond to a prompt sent by the host
application with a keypad entry, such as a menu listing choices for your
next action.
Barcode Data Entry
The 2325 supports an accessory barcode label reading device. Keyboard
data entries can be mixed with barcode data entries. Any scanner that
decodes the barcode internally and outputs an RS-232 data stream may
be used. The serial port parameters may need to be changed (using the
terminal emulation’s configuration utility) to match the parameters of the
scanner. COM port 1 is designed to be used with a hand held barcode
scanner.
RS-232 Data Entry
The 2325 accepts input from an RS-232 device connected to either RS-
232 port, COM1 or COM2. The 2325 processes data from the RS-232
port the same way it processes keyed data. The data is entered at the
cursor position, and the data is subject to all of the barcode/RS-232 input
menu parameters, such as truncate.
