To use Freescan's various scanner interfaces;
- Select 'Control Scanner' from the scanner pulldown or hit shift-F1 (Figure 1)
- The Virtual Control setup panel appears (figure 2). Check to see if the COM settings are correct; if not, click on 'Com Port Setup' and make the necessary adjustments. Please see the Making the connection article for more information.
- Select which interface you would like to use, and decide on whether you wish to log all your hits. Figures 3, 4 and 5 show examples of the various interfaces
- Note: If you decide to change interfaces, you must close it, get out of the virtual control screen and go back to step 1. Failure to do this may cause a communications failure, and the scanner will not connect.
On the IPod(c) interface, the double right arrow and bar causes the scanner to scan upwards through the systems. The double left arrow and bar causes the scanner to scan downwards. 'Menu' acts the same way as if you hit the menu key on the physical scanner. The pause arrow is your hold button, the play arrow is the scan button. When you hit scan while you are already scanning, it will switch in between ID Search and ID Scan.
