Chapter 6 - Data Collection
Start > Settings > System > Data Collection
Set scanner/imager 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 MX9 integrated scanner/imager only. Bar code manipulation parameters apply to bar
codes scanned by the MX9 integrated scanner/imager engine.
Scanner configuration can be changed using the Data Collection settings panels or via API functions. While the changed
configuration is being read, the Scanner LED is solid amber. The scanner is not operational during the configuration update.
Note:
When returning scanner or imager to factory default settings: After scanning the scanner-engine-specific bar code to
reset all scanner parameters to factory default settings (i.e., Reset All, Set Factory Defaults, Default Settings, etc.),
the next step is to open the Data Collection settings panel. Tap ok and close the Data Collection panel. This action will
synchronize all scanner formats. Programming bar codes are available in the Integrated Scanner Programming Guide.
The MX9 has one integrated bar code scanner/imager port. Only one scan engine is installed at a time. Scan engines are not
